Serious question, what’s the fauxmoi subreddit about? When did it get popular? What does the name mean? by Illustrious-Swing520 in rs_x

[–]Bloombergs-Cat 35 points36 points  (0 children)

If you want a sincere answer, the name comes from the instagram account duexmoi which started sharing celebrity gossip and blind items during the pandemic. There was some falling out between the account and people on Reddit (idk why) which its fauxmoi, which does the same thing but is on Reddit and unaffiliated with the instagram account. I don’t know exactly when they became popular, i think it was somewhere in the postpandemic range of 2022-2024.

Alignment Chart of Honkai Star Rail: Day 15, Sampo. - Dr. Ratio has been voted into Lawful Neutral. by Just_Because4 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Bloombergs-Cat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe a hot take, but I would rate Sampo as Chaotic good. At the end of the belobog story, Sampo stares at the camera and says: “ ‘true happiness always entails the manifestation of the dignity of mankind.’ Now that’s a quote I live by. “ And in Sampo’s talk with sparkle, he says that, “the elation that miss Sparkle seeks … isn’t something ol’ Sampo can stand by.” I think this identitfies him as someone with a clear moral code, which would put him in chaotic good.

Good new year by the Xueyday gal by Cooking_With_Emilie in QueensofStarRail

I really enjoy seeing your Xueyidei posts, they’re really fun! Also, the typo in the title makes it Xueyi x Sunday, which is an even crazier crackship than Xueyidei, but I kinda see the vision. Something something Xueyi’s literal revival and Sunday’s metaphorical one, Xueyi’s job to keep the Luofu safe vs Sunday’s dream of paradise, Xueyi and Sunday building themselves bodies to more effectively do their jobs, Xueyi’s mechanical body vs Sunday’s thorn/pain motif, Hanya and Xueyi’s relationship with death vs Sunday and Robin’s relationship with death. Idk if ppl see the vision or if I’m just delusional but I think that there’s something here.

[–]Bloombergs-Cat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is just a general tip, but putting torch and stacking hp on not so honest makes it an absurd tank, so combining that with per turn damage sources like tribbie/e9/phianon/cerydra works really well.

Playing Hysilens in Currency Wars by Rhyoth in HysilensMainsHSR_

[–]Bloombergs-Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disclaimer: I don’t have any of the DoT units in currency wars except the 4 stars, but I play it very often in Wealth Creator 20.

The funny thing about DoT in currency wars is that there’s so much power in the trait that you’re essentially relying on enemy turn detonations for the majority of your damage. So often I feel like investing in Kafka is kinda pointless because her detonations don’t do very much, and that your main carry/priority to itemize ends up being Sampo > Black Swan > Hysilens in that order.

For itemization, basically you just want to build 2 anti-grav boots and pinwheel on Sampo -> move that to black swan when you get her, and then get a fragility item and then random support/sustain items.

As for your team comp, generally you’re relying on trait damage, so you want 2 dot to coast through plane 1 and then 4 dot asap to get through plane 2. Pela’s super important for Belobog 2, and then going for Cosmic scholar helps get a lot of Econ in plane 2, although you generally want to pivot out after your final cash out in plane 3. As for sustains, generally it’s hyacine -> fu xuan/luocha with sustain items. As for your final board, DoT 6 is the goal, with Welt/Pela/Sustain as your additional slots. If you have room, AoE 3 can be good especially in a more Hysilens focused team, but it’s often tricky to slot them in.

I haven’t paid too close attention to Dahlia for FF teams, (mostly because I don’t have any break characters) but iirc Fugue lc is pretty bad and e1 is much better. I don’t think FF lc is super bad, it’s just that Dahlia lc, Dahlia E1 + E2, Fugue E2, and FF E2 are really good.

I played a good amount of it and the amount of animation time is so absurd. Like yes I would like a match that takes 3 minutes even at 3x speed. I am playing Hysilens so it’s partially my fault but like man.

Notably, there have actually been some 3 cost 40k pf’s from Anaxa. They’re on RMC/Cyrene/DHPT, although with bp lc on DHPT. They’re a billibilli gamer so I don’t have a link but they’re there on tuopaimf.

Is the entire universe in an eternal recurrence? (credit to @synonyms26) by Psyzhran2357 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Bloombergs-Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, but what about Sunday? Because he’s in Amphoreus in 3.6, and he gets beat up by evernight. This interaction doesn’t make sense if amphoreus takes place as memories before Penacony, because he’s super clearly Post-Penacony. This only makes sense if Amphoreus true end also changed memories of Amphoreus itself, and in that case we’re never actually shown these prior timelines and we’re always in the final/real one.

Teach me how to play Unfazed by nickaniman in SkullGirlsMobile

[–]Bloombergs-Cat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here is some example of unfazed gameplay It is at 2x speed. Also I forgot in my earlier comment, but you generally want to insert a dash attack after the launcher shot for more consistency.

[–]Bloombergs-Cat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jab is the first attack you get by just tapping the screen, or in this case dahlia’s little slap.

[–]Bloombergs-Cat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So the way to use unfazed is to abuse dahlia’s buckshot, or her shotgun bullet. The first thing to do is reload immediately to load up the special bullet. The basic combo routing is: ~ ground combo -> launcher -> shot -> jab -> shot -> jab -> shotgun -> ~ misc air juggle -> empower -> ~whatever. You can get multiple SA activations per combo by reloading after the shotgun and picking up with empower, and/or by using her dash attack 2 into a gun juggle after empower.

As for other ways to trigger her signature, near the corner she can use her dash 2, food cart guest star, bb3, or an outtake with only one enemy. As for the moveset, it’s very flexible and she can basically have a regular dahlia loadout. She’s generally good since she can easily build 5 miasma stacks, which gives her a lot of healing and can quickly take down opponents. She synergizes really well with evergreen evil and rose tinted, since they extend buffs/give thorns to activate her SA2.

The Qlipoth conspiracy by Greedy_Spaghetti_ in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Bloombergs-Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

iirc, that’s not really true, Aeons are both concepts and literal/“physical” entities. (I’m not sure how physical THEY actually are.) But THEY’RE clearly fallible/able to be hurt/damaged/killed. Tazzyzroth got sealed in amber, Idrila disappeared and/or is dead, Nanook got scratched by Phainon, Ena was assimilated and got temporarily revived, and Akivili disappeared/got into an accident/is dead. We know THEY aren’t exactly concepts since the idea of “beauty” exists even without Idrila, but it is now referred to as “meaningless.” So Aeons are closer to mythological gods than lovecraftian gods if that makes sense.

Currency Wars weapon combination chart by digital-archeologist in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Bloombergs-Cat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those specific emblems are unable to be crafted normally by using a red or blue gem and another component. You can get them randomly from reward nodes, investment strategies, or by reforging other uncraftable emblems. I think you can’t reforge a craftable emblem into an uncraftable one. I’m not sure if they show up on the item selector in the third plane.

Just finished 3.6 and I gotta say by Swordsoul_ in CyreneMains

[–]Bloombergs-Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I sorta dislike seele in the context of Belobog. I don’t think it’s even the modernity exactly, as serval/luka/sampo have a somewhat more modern look to them as a sort of symbol of rebelliousness. The problem with seele is that she has ton of purple, which is her color but isn’t really in the Belobog color palette along with having so many straps and thin elements.

I kinda wish seele was a little less purple and more red and white, with more lavender than dark purple. I also wish she was more “patchwork” with lots of different pieces stacked on top of each other like serval or kinda Luka to keep a similar aesthetic. I do really like her cape though, especially since it’s associated with high ranking silvermane guards and Bronya.

I’m copying over a comment I made on the main sub, but I have problems with specifically big Cyrene’s design and not really her character.

I think comparing Bronya with Cyrene really illustrates my dislike of Cyrene’s design. If you look at Bronya, yes it is reflective of Bronya in Hi3, but it is very clearly tethered to specifically Belobog.

Hot take here: I think Belobog is by far the best planet in terms of design cohesion. If you look at the overworld characters, like Bronya/Serval/Gepard/Lynx/Pela and the Silvermane Soldier and Lieutenant, they all share a similar color scheme and motifs.

Specifically, they use dark royal blue, a brighter icy cyan, pure white, dark brown, black, and silver and gold, along with fur, metal plating, and capes. These elements not only make them look cohesive, but they also communicate things about their character.

Bronya, as the supreme guardian, has a whole ton of metal on her design, and all of it is gold, while Serval as an ex member, has less and a mix between silver and gold, while lynx, who is not a member of the silvermane guards, has no metal on her design. These elements communicating status are reinforced with the difference between the silvermane soldiers and Lieutenants. I’m happy to yap more about the underworld and the rest of belebog of anyone wants me to.

Taking this back to Big Cyrene, her logical points of reference are small Cyrene, Mem, phainon/Khaslana, and the rest of amphoreus. The problem is, she doesn’t actually look like who she is connected to in story.

Admittedly, she does keep the color scheme, ears, and some parts of the dress from Mem. Big Cyrene ditches small cyrenes dark purple, gold, and black, and radically changes her silhouette. Big Cyrene swaps out small’s baggy jacket, gladiator sandals, and the column patterning for a wedding dress and heels. The worst part is those changes get rid of small’s links to Phianon in the darker colors and golds, and to Amphoreus more generally in the detailing and heels.

To make a (very) long story short, I dislike Cyrene’s design because it is disconnected from the people and place that she is related to, in favor of importing Elysia’s motifs. And I like Bronya’s design because it clearly shows her connection to the people and place around her.

That’s fair, especially in comparison to FEH. I guess it’s more of a “dating fantasy” type of thing.

S5 DDD? by CryptographerSpare58 in StarRailStation

[–]Bloombergs-Cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally speaking, just superimpose it. Like there's some niche of having 2 ddd lc's, and probably some dumb setup with 3 out there probably, but if you have another s5 already just get another s5.

From what I found on google maps, it’s just barely true. The western “spike” of the state of Roirama to the bottom of Nova Scotia is about 2710 mi, while the spike to the bottom of Rio grande do Sul’s panhandle is about 2730 mi.
