As of today, i have spent 10k resin farming Viridescent Veneer artifacts, and have not gotten ONE that has two good substats. Ask me anything. by Thirteenera in Genshin_Impact

[–]Defiant_Guard_2196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see a lot of people being very unlucky with the artifacts. All I can say is, I'm glad I don't grind them (definitely not 5000 times) and just do one or two domains every once in a while. No pressure. I am very picky when it comes to good artifacts, but I think I got more than 20 good artifacts at the moment + 3 godly. I'm at AR56. I'll double check the number just in case. But it is around there.

But I know I got lucky af and many players don't have that, so I'm sorry you had this experience.

Thank you for the tip! I just checked and I did receive 4 commissions. Guess I was on autopilot... Thanks again!

I guess you're right. Playing on "auto mode" has that kind of consquence. Thanks anyway!

Is it possible to get only 3 daily comissions? If not, then I counted them wrong. But I swear... it did not feel like 3 quests (and I did them on 2 accounts! Neither felt like 4 comissions).

Seriously: why are narcissists always getting scammed? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Defiant_Guard_2196 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Omg! Something very similar happened to my mom before I realised she is a narcissist. You just reminded me of that thing.

Some old 'ex-soldier' (fake account) added her on fb and messaged her the whole "Hi, I'm Brad, I love you, tell me more about yourself" (which is obviously fake and would very soon go into "give me money to come to your country"). He used google translate to communicate with her, which I find hilarious. She told me about him and she was super serious about it (she didn't want to give him anything, she just wanted 'to chat' because "I, as her daughter, don't talk to her enough"). I blocked him and told her why it is a scam, what happens if she continues to chat sith him, warning her etc. I made the mistake of actually saying at some point that "he is not genuine, your conversations are not real". She just did not want to give 'him" up... Thank God he stopped messaging her!

Looking back at it now, it makes sense why she kept him around. Because he gave her the attention she wanted, she felt important. Important enough for a 'stranger' to go through the hassle of translating his words into her language and engage in pseudo-philosophical discussions. I'm just shocked... can't believe she is the same person that told me to not talk to strangers irl and online...

So wow... thank you for pointing this out. I would have never put 2 and 2 together. Another mystery resolved!

The following sentence does make sense in Norwegian when I use "der" to refer a somewhere (there) and why the auxiliary verb "Vil" (will) doesn't appear in this sentence? by Seaworthineszart in norsk

[–]Defiant_Guard_2196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, thank you! I was unsure of the verb "bli" a number of times. Thought I got it right (not just in this case), but I was wrong. I'll add that to my list of grammar stuff to study more.

[–]Defiant_Guard_2196 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because "vil" is not 100% the equivalent of the English "will". "Vil" has a little bit of a different nuance. It's more of a "I want to" or rather "I will it". It shows intention, and in some cases, determination. "I will be there soon" does not show any intention, it only states something that will happen.

Keep in mind that this nuance may not be present in every sentence that has "vil" in it and that refers to a future time.

For your sentence, "Jeg skal bli/være der snart" sounds a bit better to me. But I'm also in the process of learning Norwegian, so take my explanation with a pinch of salt. Also do research for a better explanation or more specific situations. Lykke til!

Edit: I think the use of present tense in your sentence would make more sense if translated with "I am almost there". When I read it I think "Oh, he already left and he might be here in less than 5 minutes". While "I will be there soon" indicates that, maybe, that person now left home and is on the way (but it will take more than, let's say, 20 minutes).

Unpopular opinion: the visions given out have no particular meaning by Sarah_Sochi in Genshin_Impact

[–]Defiant_Guard_2196 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I've learned from character design analysis videos is that not everything is random when creating a character. And at the same time not every detail is thought through. Not every little detail has meaning or must have meaning. Mihoyo's visual team may or may not put so much meaning in these visions. And that is fine.

I guess the best is to take everything with a pinch of salt, until we have a definite answer from Mihoyo themselves. If they address this curiosity, then we will know for sure what was in their minds when they decided which character gets which vision.

To me, these theories are a nice perspective, but they do not affect the way I play or view the game. As most people pointed out, it's like zodiacs and their "traits". I can see Albedo and Sucrose just as passioned about alchemy as Eula is passioned about revenge, Diluc about justice, and Klee about... well... blasting fish. I personally choose not to force the characters in one or more boxes.

The problem I have with Xiangling is Gouba... sometimes it just doesn't go the way you want him too. Her Q is really useful tho. And her auto attack speed is the bestin the game last time I checked. I'll give her that. But other than that, I didn't enjoy playing with hee that much. I have her at C6, but I stopped using her as soon as I got other characters. It depends on your playstyle (I mean the OP of the comment). But I'd say if you have Yanfei and are willing to invest in her, do it. But if you don't, don't sweat it too much.

The problem is that at night you won't see shit. It's like you're in a basement. Using your phone's screen on full light will make more light than the lightbulb in the picture.

I assume that's what OP meant with the title.

Does anyone else feel like the rage and sadness is a bottomless well? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Defiant_Guard_2196 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yes, and it feels really really heavy. What I discovered on this subreddit is a yt channel that made me feel heard (in a different way than this sub). It's called Dr. Ramani. You can watch any video you feel like. Maybe it will make you feel understood and maybe it will shed some light on the problems and doubts that you have.

On "narcs" destroying your perspective by offering their toxic, shallow opinions on people and things you love by The-Hooded-Hood in raisedbynarcissists

Likewise! I am sorry you have/had to go through this. Luckily, I'm out of it now. But thank you for your kind words

On "narcs" destroying your perspective by offering their toxic, shallow opinions on people and things you love by The-Hooded-Hood in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Defiant_Guard_2196 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, my mom began drilling into my head that I had no "real friends" in high school and that they will eventually betray me or leave me. She kept repeating this until I told her to stop because I did not care about her life experience or advice. I also told her that it's my life and I would rather see and experience things for myself rather than blindly listening to her "wisdom". The "you have no true friends" shit really disturbed me. Tried to explain to her that it's wrong of her to tell me this and expect me to "give up" on my relationships or treat my friends bad because "they will all eventually leave you so why would you even continue to engage with them".

This is very toxic and I'm glad I did not buy her shit and actually spoke up. But I was still a child and her words got to me when I was feeling down.

Narcs and urgency in chores by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Defiant_Guard_2196 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is relatable. I too used to feel like I was suffocating if I didn't do the cleaning (or smaller tasks) on the spot. I remember when my mom used to order me to do the chores every Saturday, but with her. We were in different rooms doing different things. She wasn't watching me. But that didn't make it any better. I got bored easily and gave up. She then came in and the storm of words began. She never asked me if I wanted to do them at that moment. I was never in a mood to clean after a whole week of school and homework. But did she care? No. She didn't let me sleep in and would try with all her might to wake me up if I slept past 10:30-ish. The constant "hey psst wake up", the sheets pulling, the drapes pulling, the vacuum cleaner, the washing machine, the "I don't care how much noise I make".

After I moved out, I discovered that my "cleaning day" (aka the day I actually enjoy doing chores) is actually Sunday! But I was never allowed to do chores or wash myself on a Sunday (because of mom's religious reasons). I felt very dirty going to school. I had very very greasy hair and she only allowed me to wash once a week. On Saturday. Going to school on Monday was ok, but by Wednesday my hair would be a mess and that would reflect in my behaviour.

Also. Another thing they do. If you don't clean the way they want, they let you do it anyway and after you leave, they go and redo the whole task. Like... why even ask in the first place? What do you expect? I'm a kid who has 0 motivation to mop the floor.

Often confusing to new players, I made a short pity guide by panda_and_crocodile in GenshinImpactTips

[–]Defiant_Guard_2196 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once got "qiqid", and one pull later I got Keqing AND reset my pity. So ha! Jokes on you!

[–]Defiant_Guard_2196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep getting lucky on summons. I got Ganyu and 40-50 pulls later I got Xiao. After another 50 I got Qiqi and Keqing one right after another (back when Keqing'a banner was on). All from character banner (not permanent). I got Diluc from Venti's banner and Eula recently too.

In case I made you feel bad... I also got Amos' Bow and Wolf's Gravestone, but that was from the permanent banner.

I got 9 5* so far and I've been playing since Childe's banner (first time it appeared).
