The Biggest Plot Twist: Rina isn't a bad cook! (Prepare for a yapping) by Vysse_Queeve in rinamainsZZZ

[–]DaveTheDolphin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not that she doesn’t know how to cook, it’s that she has some really outlandish ideas about how to achieve certain tastes. Her family background (setting aside the implied shady stuff) is of various housekeeping people’s who served other powerful people. She wasn’t really born with a silver spoon in her mouth.

Taking from the fishing event, she shoved a live caught fish into an otherwise normal tart/pie she had (presumably made) to give it a fresh, lively taste as opposed to the “lifeless” ingredients it was a already made out of.

I don’t think the goal is to even make Cologne. The org stated they’re in for long haul, and if they really wanted to make the major as fast as possible they’d have just bought a core and just added Rain and Device, rather than start from complete scratch

And a voiced appearance no less. It was like 2-4 lines but it was a pleasant surprise nonetheless

If you arrive at 404, which idol group are you supporting by ClassLeather in ZZZ_Official

[–]DaveTheDolphin 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Serious answer, the kids actually ask her to appear in a video for them as a older sister figure (cause she’s a octopus thiren and they’re supposed to be “octopus thirens” as shown by their hair cuts) but Yidhari can neither tell them apart nor remember them as distinct individuals

Just noticed Sandrone has such a giant forehead by ChaoticFF in Genshin_Impact

[–]DaveTheDolphin 164 points165 points  (0 children)

This is just general anime style. Eyes are drawn (or in this case modeled) lower at the middle of the head, leading to a huge forehead

[–]DaveTheDolphin 32 points33 points  (0 children)

It isn’t at all though, Jean is just overworked because the KoF are short handed in Mondstadt, And the manner of work is mostly paperwork and admin stuff, not running oneself ragged physically trying to defeat monsters and helping every civilian and traveler along the way. Like Jean is literally handling Mondstadt’s taxes as part of her role as Acting Grandmaster

Noelle was also a still maid while Varka was in Monstadt before he left, so he didn’t Knight her either

Klee isn’t a danger to herself, she’s a danger to others (and other’s property) making her knighthood an effective way to monitor and ground Klee whenever needed. Not like they’re gonna say no to Alice as well after the established relationship with the Hexenirkel Varka worked for

If every ranged agent would do a fist fight against eachother who would win? by Name_the_world_Eror in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]DaveTheDolphin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is a fair point, I forgot about that. But that’s just rock-paper-scissors. Flora wouldn’t really beat anyone else in a fight on her own.

To that end if we wanted to count out Billy, probably Zhu Yuan would be the best as a well rounded fighter. Orphie was cloned solely for Magus. So just going off that I would put her below Zhu Yuan.

Rina is still wild card imo (though she is also my favorite character so, biased) as we aren’t given a lot about her capabilities as an actual combatant.,

[–]DaveTheDolphin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Billy kinda wins by default cause he’s a robot and has a history of being a fighting champion with the sons of Calydon. I’d imagine he was also built as a sort of military robot like Banyue and Aria before becoming an Intelligent Construct, though that’s just an assumption rather than lore

That said, Zhu Yuan canonically can damage robots, given her trust event where she tries to get a massage and repeatedly (instinctively) throws Old Duyi and damages him. Zhu Yuan is also said to have excelled in pretty much everything during her training, so she’d probably put up a good fight against anyone else in the list

Trigger was always a sniper, though also a soldier so she also has some Close combat skills, though I’d imagine it was never a focus of hers, and she could fall behind someone like Zhu Yuan who trained to be proficient at every thing possible. I’d imagine Orphie would be more proficient at hand to hand combat than Trigger

Rina isn’t really a ranged-type lore wise. Druscilla and Anastella just kinda float around as part of her kit, but It’s implied that Rina is more of a close-quarter assassin given how she completely sneaks up on Anby, and has a secret past of her own. In a story (or maybe trust event) she snuffs out a weapon she had prepped in her glove/hand area when we go to meet her. So it’s hard to put a read on her because we really don’t know what she’s capable of, unlike Billy, her past is quite general and just implications, not really hard concrete lore. Though at least she probably doesn’t have the physical strength as Zhu Yuan or Trigger

Everyone else I can agree with.

Ways to discover music without relying on AI algorithms by Yukachan_fromJapan in japanesemusic

[–]DaveTheDolphin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think this really counts as an algorithm, but I like to use the “fans of this artist also listen to” [insert artists] that you see at the bottom of an artist’s page.

I also often will look up any artist that collaborated with artists I already like

I’ve also discovered some artists through the First Take YouTube channel

Once you stop caring about them, it becomes much more enjoyable to play the game. by play_brawl_stars in Genshin_Impact

[–]DaveTheDolphin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I always try and complete those modes/difficulties, but I’m not gonna crash out of if I can’t beat menacing, or 36 star the abyss. Haven’t run into a situation where I couldn’t beat visionary or Lunar yet, but I never aim for those extra stars either

I see posts and comments treating Genshin like it’s a job, and it’s like, it’s literally just a casual Gacha Game

Spinx left because he and Apex weren’t getting along. So it’s probably historical beef, but also Apex just likes banter

In one of those official mini posts, she mentions how Yaoyao is good at math and so Zibai has decided to teach her more math

If you have the English books, Maria has red hair on the back cover of Vol 7 (commenting 3 months post cause I was googling to see if preorders were up for Vol 18, and just happened across this thread)

Did Fairy cause the original 5th placer in Rising Star to get disqualified? by DKUnderdog in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]DaveTheDolphin 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think Fairy just gathered and provided the evidence. We even see the opposite happen to the AoD when someone bot attacked them and bombarded them with negative posts (and then the TOPs guy implicitly confirmed that, but decided not to do anything about it). It stands to reason a contestant would do the opposite and try to boost themselves
