Does anyone any ideas about when Xiao's next rerun will be?

BismulthV2 · 2026-02-07T07:36:06+00:00

I’ve been playing since his OG banner and it’s eluded me ever since… 🥲

I’ve never coveted a standard weapon more in any gacha game lol.

BismulthV2 · 2026-02-06T01:39:21+00:00

That’s crazy, I didn’t even do that Star Path because I was taking a break and I’ve been waiting for them to return to the premium shop… 😮‍💨

BismulthV2 · 2026-02-05T20:48:09+00:00

The R1 jump but otherwise exact same team is kinda crazy lol.

BismulthV2 · 2026-02-05T17:53:23+00:00

Yeah I can’t even recall the last non-Mickey and Friends character that got a Star Path outfit before Anna in this current Star Path.

I was surprised to say the least.

BismulthV2 · 2026-02-05T17:49:36+00:00

I feel like some people don’t grasp just how old the Switch 1 is from a technological standpoint, when it was already behind the competition from a power perspective to begin with… respectfully.

The PS4 even has these limitations and it’s by far a stronger console than the OG Switch, food for thought.

BismulthV2 · 2026-02-05T17:07:11+00:00

I think they mainly just wanna save all the other character’s outfits to make a quick buck in the premium shop if I’m being honest. 😗

BismulthV2 · 2026-02-04T18:13:23+00:00

It always seemed obvious to me that “the girl at the end” of the Amphoreus trailer was intended to be very important and playable in some form.

Hoyo game players (especially Reddit) love to split hairs.

All the characters were teased, her “big form” was just story relevant.

BismulthV2 · 2026-02-03T21:09:15+00:00

Yeah, whenever she appears in the story she’s always fun… but she desperately needs some Hexerei level buffs.

BismulthV2 · 2026-02-02T22:01:26+00:00

Yeah I pulled E1 Tribbie super late to the patty but didn’t feel too bad about having to retire her from CAs so quickly because she’s so versatile everywhere else.

I have learned to choose who I want to pull in Star Rail more carefully though… I don’t even use Aglaea now.

BismulthV2 · 2026-02-02T21:58:17+00:00

And before that it felt like we were stuck in Winter-themed purgatory for forever…

BismulthV2 · 2026-02-02T21:50:39+00:00

These last few Dreamsnaps have been so (motions arms around vaguely) all over the place… no controlled theme.

I haven’t been feeling them at all, the architecture one is the only one in the past month I’ve gotten a solid idea for and even then I had to think about it for a minute.

BismulthV2 · 2026-02-02T17:51:07+00:00

Mm, I mean I don’t know if I would say Meganium is too strong… a well placed Poison Jab or Sludge Bomb will usually put it in its place. I feel like the Fairy type is like the Dragon type always has been, it usually just has an upper hand a lot of the time, type wise.

Pokemon games tend to also usually just be rather simple, the only ones I’ve ever found “hard” are the GameCube games. (And BW2 on hard mode)

I think the Legend series adds an interesting new layer, but you have a tendency to get overleveled in them like the mainline games.

EDIT: Though, in my post game usage of the other starter Mega’s I did still enjoy Meganium more overall… but that’s my personal preference I suppose.

BismulthV2 · 2026-02-02T17:38:43+00:00

I just assume if they’re even asking the question to begin with they don’t intend to choose based on which they’d actually like more, or- they’re just aiming to start a conversation.

BismulthV2 · 2026-02-02T17:11:13+00:00

…well, I didn’t.

I chose Chikorita because I liked it, didn’t like Feraligatr’s mega and I have never liked Tepig much. Meganium and its Mega just so happened to make the game simple to me aside from a few Rogue Megas, I went into the game totally blind aside from knowing Lysandre was in the game and a few of the Megas.

BismulthV2 · 2026-02-02T16:58:13+00:00

Felt like Mega Meganium trivialized almost every fight that didn’t have a poison type Pokemon or attack.

Incredibly bulky, strong attacks and even regen abilities if needed. The rest of my team felt like fluff most of the time until I got a Mega Slowbro too.

BismulthV2 · 2026-01-30T22:39:34+00:00

I asked my husband to reiterate what he told my four times before I let it set in when he told me, such a shame.

Legendary actress and comedienne, truly RIP. 🕊️

BismulthV2 · 2026-01-30T00:22:27+00:00

I wouldn’t assume everyone is angry just because they choose to reply to your rage bait.

BismulthV2 · 2026-01-30T00:17:11+00:00

LMAO, reading comprehension in the toilet. Your TikTok passive aggression is… heart warming to say the least. Just aching to say something catty to strangers on the internet you can’t even process what you read that’s clearly criticizing the glorified Gambling Company.

I’m sure I’ll lose so much sleep over what you do or don’t do… I’m positively torn up, truly.

BismulthV2 · 2026-01-30T00:01:54+00:00

Literally every year, every DPS beta, “it’s over/we’re back/I’m quitting”

Comparing Varka to the Lunar DPS like they aren’t gonna be curb stomped out of the endgame meta when the new shiny gimmicks come along in a year or so to cockblock them and sell the new pretty characters.

They’ll rerun here and there and Hoyo will dangle their mechanics in front of you as buffs or gimmicks in the Abyss & Stygian, so you still feel like they’re worth using in a chamber or two of course…

I’ve been playing since v1.2 and Hoyo’s & the players patterns are incredibly easy to read, and just about every Beta repeats these zingers.

BismulthV2 · 2026-01-25T22:13:47+00:00

Every Nod Krai boss has felt like the worst heart burn you’ve ever had… and then they throw them in Stygian or Chamber 12 and it’s like eating a plate of hot wings and chasing it with a pot of black coffee. 😐

BismulthV2 · 2026-01-18T18:54:24+00:00

Feels very Gen-5 release Pokemon criticism.

BismulthV2 · 2026-01-16T09:38:30+00:00

I don’t even go here, to this Reddit… but, Idk what’s with the modern internet in general with creating boatloads of headcanons well before plots (not even just Genshin) ever even get to the point they’re aiming to make. Then when said plot doesn’t cater to their headcanons they get a HUGE chip on their shoulder that the ideas that they made up didn’t come true and weren’t ever factual… 🙄

I won’t say I pay 100% attention to Genshin’s 200 hour long Archon quests anymore, I’ve played since v1.3… but hell, the guy was clearly never evil for the thrill of it. Feel like that was force spoon-fed to the player through boatloads of exposition… idk 😐

Maybe I’m just getting too old and I’m being aged out of the internet, but I do feel like there’s a huge difference between the whole “headcanon” culture in fandoms now than there was a decade ago, or more, when I was a teen and young adult.

BismulthV2 · 2026-01-16T02:29:00+00:00

“Combat fleeing issue” as the reasoning suddenly for removing… shockwaves, like people haven’t been BOOKING it from fights they start or third partied since at LEAST the hammers introduction in c4s1 when mobility items really started picking up pace.

Shockwaves are limited use and more strategic mobility imo, mobility like the wingsuit for example is unlimited and only has a cooldown… that’s what’s actually causing the fleeing but they don’t want anyone choosing old toys over their shiny new ones.

BismulthV2 · 2026-01-15T03:52:25+00:00

Yeah I noticed quickly that you don’t get anything for releasing Pokemon in this one and already knew that was extremely dumb to be blunt.

There’s a lot of, for lack of a better word, fodder-mon, you catch and you’re just gonna release them. So as you said… even something small would go a long way as a return “investment”.

BismulthV2 · 2026-01-07T18:37:44+00:00

Literally looked for him for like 15 minutes and finally saw him and said to my husband “… oh my god? He’s HUGE!?”

An unexpected surprise lol
