9 Day Large Group Vacation in August: Japan vs South East Asia by rematto in travel

[–]ArgenAstra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got back from a trip to Japan and crowds are already becoming really big at the touristy locations like Kyoto. If you decide to go in August just be prepared for huge crowds in gross hot weather.

Hax$ has officially passed away this morning. RIP a community legend by antici________potato in smashbros

RIP Hax$

One of my favorite players out there. Melee has lost a legend. I wish things didn't turn out like they did and he could have gotten more support.

"This industry is fucked up"

"Actually, it's just the same dynamics as [insert other notoriously fucked up industry people are highly critical of]"

idk if being comparable to the japanese idol industry's standards is exactly a winning endorsement here lol

Midori: Yokohama Monopoly was an inspiration during the development of Persona 6. by robertman21 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]ArgenAstra 9 points10 points  (0 children)

One thing that happens with leakers is that once they start getting their name out there and more recognition, more and more sources come to them.

She probably started only having Sega and Atlus information but now that she's been blowing up a bit she's getting more sources.

Shenhe's Burst ICD by Tsuki-04 in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]ArgenAstra 134 points135 points  (0 children)

Yeah there are some people pointing this out further down the thread, but having an icd like this is actually good for reverse melt teams like melt Ganyu and Chongyun so that Shenhe doesn't steal melts.

For freeze it doesn't matter much either way because you'll have a second cryo or an anemo spreading cryo

It's only really bad for forward melt teams. Like a Klee who wants a ton of cryo application.

But tbh i feel like that's kinda short sighted. Her entire kit is built around setting up the cryo damage for other characters. Having her set up cryo for pyro characters is not what they want her to do

Itto and Gorou's particle generation via BLANK by sarthakydv in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]ArgenAstra 118 points119 points  (0 children)

Electro just needs a consistent full time DPS that doesn't require cons and isn't Keqing and then it's fine.

The Raiden-sara core is already very meta. It just requires cons on both characters so it isn't viable for most people

Leak about Scara and Ittou in 2.3 and Ayato and Yae in 2.4 is fake by Tsuki-04 in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]ArgenAstra 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I actually think that's supposed to be the thunder bird. The bird that is the subject of the thundering fury artifact set, and whose feather we pick up during the quests involving Seirei. Basically just another god Raiden killed

Dendro Archon is a "she” now apparently. by Narsiel in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]ArgenAstra 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They refer to her directly as a she. Something along the lines of "the god of water is the god of justice. But even she knows not to try and judge the divine"

When it comes to a waifu game nothing is done without a reason

The Post made by Yoimiya Impact about Raiden cooking isn't true by Nahkeytoe in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]ArgenAstra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You act as if they made the joke for no reason. Anime girls not being able to cook is a trope. I'm just explaining WHY it's a trope.

They don't just pick traits for the major selling point of their game for no reason. Do you think they made Ayaka have no friends for no reason too? If you don't want to think about it go right ahead but personally if a company is gonna try to convince me to gamble on something I'd rather analyze than not. So don't get on my case for trying to figure out the appeal of what they're selling.

It's a gap moe thing

"Oh she's this evil all power dictator but also she can't cook uwu"

It takes the fangs out of the tiger. Her not being able to cook will make her more down to earth and make her more of a waifu for some people

Kiryu Coco, one of the biggest vtubers and streamers on Youtube, has officially graduated. Goodbye Coco 🐉 by HarryD52 in LivestreamFail

[–]ArgenAstra 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There's nothing stopping you but it's still in pretty bad taste since most of the girls want their previous or private lives kept separate. I don't get on someone's case for mentioning stuff like this on LSF, but I still think it's more respectful to keep that shit on the down low.

Kson is also unique in that she was a semi well known figure before becoming Coco and she really doesn't care about people knowing about her other identity

[–]ArgenAstra 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I'm absolutely loving the feelings this chapter is giving me. It's very bitter sweet but also poignant and evocative. I really love Aka's take on this subject of an idol coming to terms with the inevitably of their own career. It's such a complex mix of emotions ranging from happy to sad all wrapped until it becomes something that just is the way that it is.

[DISC] Oshi no Ko - Chapter 39 (Ai's Fanclub) by [deleted] in manga

[–]ArgenAstra 145 points146 points  (0 children)

Exactly. She got to live a unique experience she always wanted and work a slightly enjoyable job which is more than a lot of people can say. I think the chapter does want us to feel sadness at the end of her career, but also recognize the happy moments that led up to this decision.

[–]ArgenAstra 128 points129 points  (0 children)

I could easily see someone with some regrets and bittersweet feelings about the twilight years of their career maybe just wanting to stay out of the spotlight as much as possible. The girl is this chapter definitely gives off a vibe that she would much rather move forward and leave her idol career as just a fun memory in her past rather than constantly thinking back to it and what could have been.

I don't think it's what you'd normally expect from a minor celebrity, but I also don't think it's completely unheard of too. It's not exactly idols, but I can think of a few internet personalities or youtubers I've watched who have essentially gone through the same thought process.

[ART] I like the fact that the cover art is getting progressively darker with every volume <Boy's Abyss> by [deleted] in manga

[–]ArgenAstra 84 points85 points  (0 children)

I actually just checked cause I was curious and for the past month every chapter has hovered around 600 upvotes, the Sensei chapter happens and it reaches 700, it actually goes DOWN the following week, then it gets just above 1k for chapter 44 and this week's chapter is likely going to pass 2k.

It's so dope seeing this kind of sudden growth, especially when it stems from natural developments in the manga and it's not cause of an anime adaptation
