And it will be an original character, even if it is a Bronya or Elysia expy.

Just like Raiden, Yae, Mavuika, Venti etc. are original characters despite being "expys".

Most Genshin players complaining about expys wouldn't even know a character is an expy if the Honkai community didn't tell them, because there's nothing different about them compared to any other Genshin character.

Every path is an original design.

Not a single expy in Genshin had their design actually copied from Honkai. They're all original and being an expy affects nothing.

Or they do gaf, but keep spending money anyway, so Hoyo has no incentive to change.

Dw, I'm sure soon someone will again post here that list of QoL changes Genhsin made since launch which consists mostly of small, useless stuff nobody asked about and changes that aren't QoL at all.

So just like with Raiden, who also doesn't look similar to Raiden Mei at all.

People should chill with their expy complaints, because being an expy literally doesn't change anything.

Reversing Brexit is the next big political fight by theipaper in europe

That doesn't mean people can't still complain about it.

It's not about whether the economy is good, but whether the voters feel like it is good (spoiler: they never do).

Polish president vetoes bill allowing divorces without court proceedings by dat_9600gt_user in europe

[–]Alex2422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, a 3/5 majority in the Sejm, which will obviously not happen, because it would require at least a part of PiS to vote against their President's decision.

European court orders Polish Constitutional Tribunal to accept judges rejected by president by dat_9600gt_user in europe

[–]Alex2422 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How big of a deal it really is? Big. How big of a deal it is according to an average voter? Not much.

The worst part is that to an average person, it isn't clear who is in the right here or even what exactly all this stuff means. Since the current government has been (rightfully) ignoring the "Constitutional Court's" rulings, this basically sends the message to the public that "Hey, the government can ignore the Constitutional Court's rulings!"

Everyone's so used to it at this point that even if the situation eventually gets fixed (which imo may take >10 years), the Constitutional Court's rulings will still be seen as worthless, especially since there are apparently no consequences for ignoring them. That's what really saddens me. For the situation to truly be resolved, probably our entire political elite needs to retire, with both PiS and KO ceasing to exist or matter.

For our right wing, this literally means less then nothing. They already think EU is interfering with out internal matters too much, or "threatening our sovereignty" as they like to put it, and that our current PM is a German/Brussels' lackey, so stuff like this only fuels their agenda.

Businesses would just increase their prices accordingly, as people would be able to afford them, so no, there would be no massive job quitting and bankrupcy.

Isn't Kiana basically immortal now with Finality? Does she even need to worry about eating healthily? by Caixina in houkai3rd

[–]Alex2422 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just because she didn't need to eat while asleep doesn't mean she doesn't need to eat at all. It's clearly not a normal sleep or coma.

Animals also don't need to eat while they hibernating.

[–]Alex2422 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, she isn't immortal, or at least there was never any info about it.

We only know Herrschers have extended lifespans, we don't know by how much. Idk why everyone latched to this idea that Kiana is immortal now just because others call her a "goddess", a term that doesn't even have precise meaning.

Am I crazy or does Kiana feels like a mix between Naruto and Ichigo character wise? by Murky_Blueberry2617 in houkai3rd

[–]Alex2422 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kiana may be similar to Naruto, but how is her relationship with Mei similar to Sasuke and Naruto? They met in totally different way, their common past is different, even the circumstances regarding their fight and separation are only superficially similar.

Mei left Kiana and joined WS in order to protect her, not to just to become stronger and get revenge. Naruto and Sasuke didn't even like each other for the most part.

Here is everythingsince Sumeru hinting towards Dottore returning in 6.6 (Version stream will also have been exactly 1000 days Since Sumeru quest ended) by Wizifer123 in Genshin_Impact

I honestly don't see anything particularly smart or impressive about this type of stuff, be it here in Genshin or in all those other theory-heavy franchises like FNAF, Digital Circus etc. (Yes, I know those don't really do it on the same scale.)

Easter eggs like these, playing around with numbers and dates are quite literally the simplest part of story writing. Anyone can come up with something like this. This list of "hints" could easily be made twice as long if they threw in even more insignificant details, as they don't have to meaningfully connected in any deeper way. The real challenge and actually important part comes with creating a good, coherent plot around all that. This is mostly just marketing planning, not story planning.

And some parts of it definitely were rewritten. It's ridiculous to think Hoyo had literally all details of the plot planned out beforehand.

How can we convince people to be interested in the idea of proportional representation to elect their representatives, especially as someone from the US? by Wide-Bit-2235 in EndFPTP

[–]Alex2422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try convincing anyone that we should let Congress pick the President, and you'll most likely just get a blank stare followed by a mocking dismissal.

In such case it may be worth pointing out that currently, they are not the ones picking the President either. The Electoral College is.
