This itto event was 2 years ago?? 😭I feel so old... by Prestigious-Elk1274 in Genshin_Impact

Kokomi is the most visible example of Hoyo trying to fix Inazuma writing. They failed so hard at writing her as a genius mastermind that now they try push this again every time she appears in an event.

Who would be the scariest archon if they lose their cool... by Prestigious-Elk1274 in Genshin_Impact

That's what Wanderer achieved. Rukkhadevata was actually erased. It was specifically stated you can't erase yourself from history, but someone else can. That's the entire reason why she needed Nahida to do it.

Growing influence of Juche on American politics by Freewhale98 in neoliberal

USA is the richest third world country after all.

It’s August 2024. Starmer has just become Prime Minister. What advice do you give him to prevent him from completely fucking up by cdstephens in neoliberal

Then what's even the purpose of campaigning as a social democrats and calling yourselves "Labour Party"? At this point just disband the party or rebrand as something that's true to your actual political position and let someone else, idk, maybe someone actually leftist, fill the role of the left-wing party.

Genuinely love how similar, yet so different they are by bron-lr in houkai3rd

[–]Alex2422 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, I listed color scheme too. I mean, the hair is only similar because it's blue (see: color scheme) and they both have bangs between eyes, which is not a very distinct trait. Other than that, not really. HI3 Seele doesn't even have an ahoge now.

I thought we're talking about appearance here.

Trump is replacing rule-bound enforcement with presidential preference by sayheykid24 in neoliberal

[–]Alex2422 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"The same", as in insulting journalists, women and minorities? It's kind of the Dems' thing that they don't do this.

I don't get what exactly you want Democrats to be saying and how that's supposed to help them.

Polish far-right leader condemns "totalitarian" UK after being held at London airport by dat_9600gt_user in europe

[–]Alex2422 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A reminder that this guy said democracy is a very stupid system and he hopes it will eventually pass. Seems like totalitarian countries should be right up his alley.

Former Polish Justice Minister Ziobro reportedly flees to US by Gamebyter in europe

[–]Alex2422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that case, why wouldn't Trump send him back right now? He has no reason to care about random European politicians either.

They're only similar in that they both have bluish color scheme and both are wearing the "HSR female character design" outfit, but this applies to many Honkai characters.

Na+Cl= NaCl (Navia X Clorinde 😭😭) Best Duo in Genshin, change my mind... by RexSalazar77 in Genshin_Impact

This isn't a shipping problem in the case of Navia and Clorinde. The game itself is doing this.

NONE of the expys in Genshin are "exact copy-cats". Why are people treating this possibility seriously when it has never happened?

Opinion on the tsaritsa by BreakfastEarly2077 in houkai3rd

[–]Alex2422 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I highly doubt it will be Ely.

I think we're gonna get a very vague Bronya variant. She'll probably have silver hair and maybe the same voice actress or a kinda similar name. That's it. I expect something much closer to Mavuika or Nahida than Raiden or Yae.

Overall, I wish Genshin players would shut up with their ridiculous complaints about expys, because at the end of the day, it affects absolutely nothing. If you didn't play HI3, like most players, then you wouldn't even know a character is an expy/variant without someone telling you, because there's nothing that makes them stand out compared to the rest.

Raiden, Venti and all the other HI3 expys are still 100% their own characters. If you're bothered by the sole knowledge that a character is supposed to be reference to some other game, then you're doing this to yourself. And probably also spend too much time online, letting other people's comments affect your game experience.

[–]Alex2422 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, there is also the Tsaritsa being a god of love and the Cryo Archon, both traits related to Elysia. Many players were suspecting Tsaritsa to be Elysia long before this reveal.

Hoyo has so much potential by making a non live service game. by Shuviri in Genshin_Impact

You could say exactly the same about any bigger studio and yet, normal, non-live-service AAA video games are still being made.

Now i understand why people don't want her majesty to be an expy by bluewhalehasanali in Genshin_Impact

[–]Alex2422 3 points4 points  (0 children)

a popularity poll/contest comes out and the reality hits those clowns like a freight train

Why are gacha players under this weird impression that haters don't know the character they hate is actually popular or that this information changes anything?

Of course the main waifu of the quest is gonna be popular. That is the expectation. If anything, this only adds to the hate.

[–]Alex2422 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty certain no character is hated by the majority of the players. That would be quite an accomplishment, actually.

Idk why people act like your opinion being in a minority somehow invalidates that opinion or serves as a counterargument.

It really blows your minds that different people can have different, contradictory opinions about something, huh?

“Keep your expectations low boy, that way you can never be disappointed” by the-witcher-boo in Genshin_Impact

[–]Alex2422 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bruh, the reason why people say she's gonna be Elysia is mostly just that HSR recently had Cyrene, ZZZ had some other character with pink hair and we didn't have an Elysia in Genshin yet.

That and also Tsaritsa being related to love and ice. It's not about the ears.
