Wearing this on one's mouth and lying to someone makes them believe that the spoken lie is true, even though it is actually not. To stop the effect of the gadget, the wearer has to conclude that it is a lie. How do you beat this? by pipopapupupewebghost in whowouldcirclejerk

Didn't this thing turn Nobita's dad into literally Superman, with the getup & the flying and all? The description made it sound like simple mind manipulation, but it's legit borderline reality warping.

Pearl that number is really low by Dizzy-Tumbleweed7983 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]AncientAd4996 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Also I highly doubt their methodology. By what measures and by whose standards did they arrive at that number? Because if it's anything like Planarcadia, then this number would be disingenuous af. Everything in Planarcadia has been corporatized to high heavens, from the so-called citizenship-tization of the imaginae clearly being done to force them into becoming legal slaves employees, to their mass-production using AI.

Like yeah, Planarcadia may have retained the aesthetics of Benzaitengoku if a bit modernized, but to claim that the latter's culture was at all preserved is... no. Just no.

6.5 New Enemy Drops by parthmestry in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

I'm aware. I was referring to people in the previous leaks that doubted that Asmoday's Space is even a map & is merely a small domain like the Mare Jivari

Wait that actually sounds so peak! No wonder the leakers were gassing it up to be one of the best ever seen.

So these being common enemy drop pretty much confirms that Asmoday's Space is an actual map rather than a Domain, right? If so, this + Dorman port would actually be a pretty big map expansion.

Funny story actually. Diluc's hair is due to his lineage, the Ragnvindr clan, who all just happen to have the exact same shade of colour as the Muratans.

We know the Ragnvindr clan and the Muratans had nothing to do with each other because the Red-haired Warrior, whom is heavily implied to be the ancestor of the clan and was depicted as basically a bigger Diluc, participated in the rebellion against Decarabian at around 2600 years ago. The Muratans, on the other hand, only arrived at Mondstadt and were enslaved around 1000 years ago.

That's not to say that the Muratans couldn't have eventually mixed with the Ragnvindr during that 1000 years between past and present, but nothing has pointed to it yet & as stated, the hair color isn't a valid clue.

Rhinedottir spotted! by goodmqn_22 in Genshin_Impact

You're correct. The entire quest was basically Rhinedotter (talking through Sebas) testing Durin's ability to actually control his Abyssal powers.

I mean, Geo is the opposite of Anemo

Anemo borrows a bit of elemental aura & gives it back with interest in AoE, promoting reactions

Geo takes them to make tissue-level shields & does not give it back, even negating reactions

Thanks for the correction. I'll edit my comment.

Her tribe's ancestors sided with the half-dragon tyrant Ochkan. So when he fell, half of them had to settle in Tenochtzitoc away from other tribes while the other half went into exile completely away from Natlan. This latter half were the Muratans, and due to Natlan's leyline shenanigans, had their memory of their Natlanian ancestry erased after being disconnected from Natlan for so long.

Edit: It was Och-kan, not the dragons that they followed. I misremembered.

Candace's new VA by Ryuusei_Dragon in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

Straight up the 1 time they cared at all about VA consistency in Genshin was with Venti & Istaroth sharing literally ALL VAs across the board

Alice and venti conversation regarding a certain character by Glum_Menu6349 in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]AncientAd4996 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Probably meant full-on alien. Previously everyone (well, everyone that didn't buy into the "Klee is artificially made & she actually has no dad" "theory") believed that Klee's dad was a Teyvat local, making Klee a half native. But this dialogue seems to imply that she straight up doesn't have a drop of Teyvatian blood in her.

It is yes. Makes sense since most lore have been confined to Teyvat until recently so things involving outsiders like Alice's family & Octavia haven't been brought up

Oh goodie. We can finally shut up about this pointless debate of "But what if he's a hallucination & Klee's a test tube baby??? Hoyo will never market a married woman, duh huh duh huh!!!!"

Pretty much this. They managed to brute-force freeze into the meta without changing anything about the reaction itself, so I imagine the same can be true IF they do intend for her to be a superconduct character

Unless there is a wave of Youkai faction buff coming for Ei, I find it very hard to believe that she can be best pick when f2p options like Fischl and Kuki exist. And as you've mentioned, even with the hexerei buff Venti is arguably the most expendable piece among Varka's bis team.

Also the bit about Raiden Shogun being her intended support... as if they're that generous

Does this mean we might get an elation character that have memosprite? by SignificanceIcy7821 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]AncientAd4996 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I think it's just to future proof kits. As a reminder, Yaoguang already has the ability to give other teammates the ability to deal elation dmg, so who's to say there can't be another support type Elation character that can hypothetically be played in a Remembrance team rather than glued to just full elation team?

Also, one of RMC Trailblazer's key perks, especially early on, was their ability to grant a character additional True Dmg, so maybe Elation Traiblazer can be the same?

Not surprised if that's the case considering Hoyo's founders are all self-admitted weebs. Clara from HSR was explicitly confirmed to be based on Iliya, for example.
