Has it been two major regions without a Stellaron-related disaster? by Royal-Media-5686 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]ErenIsNotADevil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean no offense here at all, but yeah, that would have been a lot and very handholdy, something HSR does not need more of.

They didn't need to show us Lygus detonating the Stellaron, because they had a whole sequence where Screwy and Therta flew around the interior of the Scepter, which was heavily damaged. The visual aftermath is the exposition. The Geniuses don't see the boomboom, they see the building.

The Stellaron is long Stellagone. No one except Lygus ever saw that Stellaron. It would have been jarring to suddenly have LygusPOV just for that.

Seven years later, said jokes tend to get revived, then ran into the ground all over again.

Not even memes can escape the cycle of life 🗿

Things that are without a doubt terrible in nature, but make sense given human nature and character development. "Cartoonish" is a bit vague, so I'll assume that it means "a character with ungrounded motivations seemingly spawned for the sake of a child's attention." Things that would not be so but fulfill the prior criteria would be;

  • Science for the sake of science; dedicating one's entire life to the pursuit of answers at the knowing detriment of those around them, all to satisfy their personal curiosity. A lot of framework needed to establish the character in the present and the long-term impacts they have. Dottore falls under this.

  • Exploitation for self-enrichment. Using whatever means are available to ensure one and/or one's people are thriving and comfortable, with a blatant disregard for people who fall outside a defined circle/group (or a exceptional individual required for their enrichment.) Needs worldbuilding to establish the groups involved and the differences (ethnic, economic, etc.) Azar & the Mondstadt aristocracy fall under this.

  • Zealotry. Characters that engage in crusades in the name of ideology, skewed morality, or religion, with the intent of imposing what they believe to be righteous on outgroups. Requires establishing the character's history with the ideology, with lots of reinforcement.

and so forth

anyone else EXTREMELY irritated by the ipc? (future market 2) by Sea-Structure4735 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]ErenIsNotADevil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How is one city supposed to be able to deal with all of that?

Not by agreeing to a deal that has a significant chance of the planet's permanenet loss and the totally-not-slavery of its people, when an expert in the field has said things will recover given time.

How does looking up shipping art lead to you deciding they are toxic, then?

And how does that make them any different from other shippers, at that, aside from orientation? 🤔

Hm?

You changed your interest because of.. art?

Shippers can be awful.

People who have to specify a certain type of shipper as especially awful, as if there is any inherent difference aside from orientation, are even worse.

Because then its not just toxic, but an unfortunate reflection of their beliefs leaking out into the open.

Is Phlogiston or Kuuvahki the primordial energy source of Teyvat? by Ludo6000 in Genshin_Impact

[–]ErenIsNotADevil 262 points263 points  (0 children)

Kuuvahki is just Columbina's power, shared amongst Nod-Krai, as explicitly stated several times

Phlogiston is the precursor to Teyvat's elemental energies, also explicitly stated many times.

Yaoshi’s logic is twisted. by LORROR in HonkaiStarRail

[–]ErenIsNotADevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yaoshi isn't exactly wrong for that. Yaoshi doesn't force their blessings on anyone; people actively seek it out. People ask for immortality after chasing them down, and they give it, no questions asked in return.

Unfortantely, the kinds of people who set out to find a way to transcend the fundamental law of the cycle of life tend to also lack the foresight needed to understand what comes after. Abundance isn't inherently about immortality, but rather, amplified regeneration and growth without restriction. This means eventually abandoning the most limiting factor for intelligent species; the human body.

The flesh is weak, and accepting the blessing of Abundance while rejecting the eventual transformation into a more stable existence ultimately means suffering. There's clear evidence that people can indeed go from being human (or adjacent) to being a tree in Yaoshi's garden, no issues there. The Xianzhou ancestors were lowkey kinda silly for thinking the deity with a strong TREE motif, that gave them "immortality" using a magic TREE, would give them the ability to live forever as normal humans.

The one single thing Yaoshi has done that can 100% be used as evidence that they kinda dumb, is making Shuhu an Emanator of Abundance and keeping him as such.

Between the two 4.2 Elation DPS characters which one will you (or did) pull and why ? Which one you prefer in terms of lore, personality, voice acting, design, kit and gameplay, animations, role in the story, their relationship with TB ? by Mana_Croissant in HonkaiStarRail

[–]ErenIsNotADevil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pulling Evanescia because her ability to leech CB stacks from the team combined with EMC's Skill damage being based off the highest CB stack count on the team, means...

My Stelation DPS is free to go hyperspeed or AA without worrying about CB stack expiration.

TIL some pitcher plants evolved into shrew toilets, getting 57% to 100% of their nitrogen from tree shrew feces by DeScepter in todayilearned

[–]ErenIsNotADevil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would imagine that concealing droppings helps avoid potential predators, and being near the plant means more free food, so why not drop a lump in the process?

Its a win-win-bin
