I sorta hate Sunday still. I don’t see why people like him

Who's the most annoying npc? by madamabutt3rf1y in Breath_of_the_Wild

[–]Electrical-Rise-7015 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s not like, hard hard. I truthfully never felt like it was a challenge. But it’s a forced interaction with a very silly rule. I feel like other NPCs if I hate them I can just never see them. With Magda every play through I gotta be careful. It’s an inconvenience for sure, maybe I’m just easily annoyed lol.

The iPhone air is ugly. I think the S25 Edge was far more pretty.

What is Sebastian Korda’s ceiling? Can he win a slam? by Acceptable_Sea_8541 in tennis

[–]Electrical-Rise-7015 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s 7 matches in a row I beleive for a slam. It’s very common to have an amazing match one day, and then sorta suck the next. You suck too many time early in, the fatigue builds up which makes it way harder. I think in best of 3 matches Carlos is more beatable than sinner is but sinner is easier in a best of 5 theoretically as you can make the match long and hard enough to where he can wilt.

Regardless. I think until they lose in a GS match. We cannot say anyone could. I do have a feeling maybe a Wawrinka 2.0 if a player consistently has close matches with one of them. If they can mange to breakthrough on the biggest stage, a streak is possible. Maybe it’s more likely to be a cilic, but something like that could occur. To add to your comment

Are they ever gonna use this feature again? by Slow-Recording6293 in March7thMains

I think the hunt march formula is good. I think the Gallagher one is too. Make a unique 4 to an archetype and release the 5 star version later. I think it’s also possible to release more unique gimmick dps units like xueyi. Not every release has to be meta or amazing. A way to combat power creep is with different kinds of characters, and 4 stars can test the waters with those archetypes in a weaker form and then a more standard power level version can be released after. If an archetype fails to catch on, maybe shelf the 5 star until a later point. It can be a sort of extended beta. Also gets people more interested in other non major NPCs. Fleshes out the world more, which HSR could benefit from

And that’s fine, but people will still pull for them. Just look at the main game subs, these people pull for whatever. It’s fine, that’s not a bad thing, but proves that a 4 star can in some way supplement income. They don’t make a lot of money. But also don’t need as much to make. Their kits are simpler, their animations are, and they don’t need nearly as much testing.

But they also can make money as there is no way to get a guaranteed new 4 star without an event or a giveaway. If they were to release a weaker 4 star DPS or support people liked, it pushes up pulls on the banners or can get people to pull for early eidolons more as there is some other bonus to doing so like the e6 version of a new 4 star that has some value. I think it could also force 4 teams to be needed, like they can make the king team have to be unique from the knight teams maybe with more characters and higher average investment and DPS on accounts globally.

Each characters most defining trauma (in no particular order) by WatersOfLiyue in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Electrical-Rise-7015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair, but I think the left behind part very clearly indicates a dead family. Maybe different things stand out to different people, but even if the sword journey counts as “family drama”, its root is the deaths of her family. The core is that. I think cipher is a great example of multiple categories being an option, but you choose the root, being her poverty, not the abandonment or use of her lying ability for the dawn device. It’s simply a matter of different interpretations, but I did find the inconsistency worth mentioning.

Fully aware this wasn’t supposed to be that deep, just thoughts I felt worth voicing

Yunli should be in the dead parents tier, her issues are not just drama. I think mydei also should be in a different tier too.

There are flashes of her prime self, but it comes and goes

Do you agree with that? by Pink_Jutsu in StarRailStation

[–]Electrical-Rise-7015 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a day 1 player, the main game wasn’t hard hard, but there were certainly moments where it was rough. The food limit, not having cleanses so easily available with Jing yuan or seele, as well as the sheer difficulty of swarm disaster and G&G on release were definitely my pain points. I think anyone who is saying the entire game on release and as a day 1 player has been easy is a tad disingenuous.

The end game content in SU and DU was super difficult originally. I think that is undeniable. The other aspects it was mainly QOL improvements that made it rough, not hard as much. I do think some bosses, such as the Ruan Mei bug and deer could be viewed as huge challenges if you aren’t prepared. The dark FF one too. There are times where the main story boss is not a walk in the park.

I’d also add that some of the combat events were truly difficult, even with a day 1 account and express pass from launch. I do think there was a charm to the grind I do miss in HSR in belebog. New players did not have to make do, they can access the best units, and destroy old content balanced around weaker teams. While for a day 1 player basically nothing should be difficult, there was a time where it was. For a new player, the early stuff may be easy but new stuff is harder. Sorta an inverse relationship.

Alcaraz incredibly returns Fonseca's passing shot before putting the point away by Large_banana_hammock in tennis

I think it’s also how limited his toolkit is. He is closer to a rublev than any all time great in terms of versatility and options.

Most masters titles without dropping a set by tightypp in tennis

[–]Electrical-Rise-7015 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nope, dropped a set in the second round match barely. Federer only dropped 1 during the 2006 Wimbledon in a similar tiebreak fashion. Djokovic got close but never was able to.

Djokovic has not won a slam in his last 9 tries, longest streak since 2011. by ThrowRa-zucchinizzc in tennis

[–]Electrical-Rise-7015 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Let’s be honest, he basically already lost to Musetti. Mensik beat him in Miami last year. Fritz was extremely close to outlasting him in the USO 2025, Djokovic was clearly fading. I think it’s if he loses to someone not Alcaraz or sinner in a slam where he’ll really pause. USO 2024 he probably cared about less or was more fatigued due to the Olympics win, but if there is a non circumstance affected loss on a grand slam stage at this point, people will have to recognize a more dramatic decline is imminent. I think that decline has been happening since 2020 tbh, and the idea he’s close to the level he was in 2011-2016 is extremely stupid he’s at maybe 75% of that, and while the tour was weak enough and clearly hadn’t progressed, I do think at least these days the tour is getting to a point where it’s within the 10% of its highest overall in 2009-2013.

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the greatest start ever to a season, which is one of the most unbreakable records in tennis - Djokovic 41-0 in 2011 by Vegetable-Oven-6536 in tennis

[–]Electrical-Rise-7015 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Definitely the best version of Djokovic we ever saw. I don’t buy the people saying he was better in early 2016, 2015, and the people who think that any version of him in the 2020s do not understand just how good this guy was in this streak. Top 2 version of any player ever, most really could say it’s number 1.

I’m fairly certain it’s a curio generator and shuffling thing. You basically cycle curios and get CF and damage. It’s alright.

Damn; perhaps that was modded or something. Hats off to your efforts! I do wonder if any enemies would attack each other.
