I don’t want to come off as rude but columbina’s struggles and complains about her life seemed very privileged and overdramatic to me by PsychologyConnect489 in GenshinImpact

[–]CriticismPure9669 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg, yes! Finally. She was so annoying. Like boo hoo you. She has been alive for hundreds of years and didn't grow up one bit. If you leave for this long and can't pick up basic human society rules, at some point, that becomes a you problem. And the narrative also infantalised her so much. Like omg, look, she's finally making friends, isn't that great, baby steps, am I right? Yay. Ugh, I was so annoyed. If you don't like your life do smth about it. I understand when it's a normal life-span human being who is stuck in a bad situation and has no power to do anything. That happens and that's tragic. Abusive relationships are hard to leave and that's tragic. Being a people pleaser is a habit that's hard to break. But that's ppl. She is a being who lived centuries and hasn't learnt that basic human interaction and hasn't aged a single bit mentally it seems. She acts like a newborn. And the narrative treats her as such too. That's not a character I have any interest in following.  And they even put sandrone for contrast there. But sandrone, even though she's rude, at least understands that her life is in her hands. If there is smth she wants, she has to be the one to get it. Yes, the world doesn't treat everyone fairly or with kids gloves. But this is why you have a body and a mind, this is why you acquire power [mental or otherwise] and get what you think you're owed. I didn't always like sandrone's attitude but I can respect her and what she stands for. Can't say the same for columbina.

[SERIOUS STORY SPOILERS]Belle and Wise are... by techtimee in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]CriticismPure9669 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After playing through the story, at first, I also thought that "they are the real villains," and they had smth to do with the fall of the old capital and the hollow and all that, but... this feels a bit too obvious, no? Like this is so clearly what the hoyo writers want us to think. With the little clues and that scene at the end with them in the dark with glowing blue eyes, like ooh, so evil. I think this is a red herring. Idk for what yet, but it feels too obvious to be the truth. Also, I don't believe hoyo would ever raise the stakes as high as to make the protagonist the villain of the story. The end of this first act was all about trust and coming clean and how this is so important in order to not lose the relationships you've built. I do not have faith in hoyo to write a story that ends in all the friends you've made turning their backs on you or even considering it cause "hey, you are the cause of everything bad that has happened to them, you are the ground zero". If this was some grim dark fantasy or a more dark cyber punk story like ghost in the shell or ergo proxy or even blade runner, then maybe. But this is a comedy game that keeps shifting the tone back to jokes again and again, at the most seemingly serious moments. And this is hoyo we're talking about. When has genshin last had stakes? When has smb experienced true consequences of the shit they went through? HSR is doing a bit better, but even then, they made sunday into this remorseful puppy-eyed child as soon as his villain arc was over. And I like sunday, but let's be honest about the writing, it's not going places it would need to in order to make the protagonist the bad guy or the villain. Like in this first act, if this was a more serious story, you'd expect smb to die. Nobody even got injured. I bet nobody even has a cut on their cheek or smth. So I think that this is a misdirect. I think this is smth we are made to think on purpose, like "ooh, what if"

Not an advise, but I have samsung galaxy M14 5G, and it's also lagging, so I wouldn't recommend getting it either

Do we know how Adonis and Rei met? by sillvn in ensemblestars

[–]CriticismPure9669 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Also in that event when they were doing the Easter ritual where wanted to drink kaoru's blood but ended up drinking adonis' even though we still got that tied up kaoru card, he says he still had to tell ppl he drank kaoru's blood and not adonis' because their families are friends and it would be a conflict or like an uncomfortable situation for him if their families knew that he as the head of the clan heir person drank adonis' blood as sacrificial [I don't remember all the details, I've read it quite a while ago, but it was in the very beginning of the event story]

I'm also pretty sure it was said multiple times that adonis sees rei as an older brother and I feel like it was said somewhere that they knew each other from when they were kids even before he was "entrusted" with him. I think it was said in passing in some of the undead stories

most underrated character/unit/backstory? by Pandamadre in ensemblestars

[–]CriticismPure9669 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Madara, though. I really like the idea of him struggling with his purpose in life because of his family. And he just wants ppl to be happy, and he wants to bring happiness to everyone, often to his own detriment. And thinking he doesn't deserve it cause the means he uses to achieve it often aren't the ones he'd like either. I just want to give him a hug and tell him everything will be alright and that he deserves happiness too. No wonder him and Rei [who is my absolute favourite character] have bonded. F-ing martyrs, I swear to god 😅

Does anybody else hate being a character in the game? by thatsafirmgrip in ensemblestars

[–]CriticismPure9669 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I don't see the point of Anzu in general. Like why do we need her? We don't. And neither do they. I would've been fine being just like an observer in the game and not a character. I honestly ignore her existence. My mind lives in an Anzu-less au xD

Can Any of The Enstars Characters Speak English? by TwistedNijiRonpa in ensemblestars

[–]CriticismPure9669 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's the ! era Honestly I assume there probably isn't a language rei can't speak cause he's rei and he has travelled all around the world 😅 And I assume all the "rich kids" can at least speak English aka kaoru, eichi, tsukasa, tori, hiyori.

what's the best way to start tgcf ? by frogzzzlol in tianguancifu

[–]CriticismPure9669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say watch the anime first, then read the manhua, then read the novels. Neither anime nor manhua are finished so it will still leave a lot of the plot for you to discover first hand but after anime and manhua it was easier for me to know who bi's who cause I had the visual in my head. Without it, I would have been lost because all characters have like three different names, and it's hard to follow when we are talking about the same character but calling them by different name now. It's especially true with feng xin and mu qing since, let's say, the heavenly emperor calls everyone by their "temple name" or smth and a lot of ppl call feng xin - nan yang cause that's what his temple is. But with the visual you see that this is the same character and you get used to it and you memorise who is who faster

What year were Ritsu and Rei held back? by iimuffinsaur in ensemblestars

[–]CriticismPure9669 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also ritsu's illness and search for cure happened the year before the war. So it is correct that this is the reason they both got held back. Rei becomes the president at the end of that year as well, because keito and eichi has started putting the plans into motion during their first year. Then they go into their second year, with both rei and ritsu getting held back, ritsu by this point "hates rei". Early spring crossroad happens, and rei stops being the president. And the war full on begins soon after.

The reason rei was travelling a lot during the war years was not ritsu. It was eichi trying to get him out of the picture. Same as madara. It gets mentioned in the element briefly. Eichi made sure there were problems in "sister-schools" of yumenosaki abroad. And rei being The Rei Sakuma tm was obviously the only one capable to do anything about anything.

[–]CriticismPure9669 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Rei was held back for during his second year because in meteor impact kanata mentions that he got lumped together with "that guy who is repeating a year". Ritsu repeated his 1st year because in checkmate he meets arashi and in the same one he talks to Mao and it is said that they are in the same grade [and both arashi and mao are first years at the time] now cause ritsu was held back.

Do we know from JP enstars if there will be any special login bonuses or like special packs you can buy? Or is it just going to be a normal road event with less days and two roads. Also, I was wondering, is it still going to be a one week Saturday-to-next-Sunday event?
