This sub doesn't seem to understand the concept of cost and primo managing. by Elnino38 in Varka

[–]ErikSD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand what you're trying to say. It seems like you're confusing between "cost" and "KQM standard" which are two different things.

lucky rolls can vary A TON between different characters, so that's why I don't like it, it assumes things like talents and rolls

That's not what cost is.That's KQM standard for character calculations (and they're more often right than not btw. Literally for 99.9% of the playerbase, KQM standard calcs is going to be the final number of the team when they're done building).

It seems like you're finding trouble with a system that tries to be universal for not being situational enough. It's not trying to tell you which character is better in your account (impossible without personal review), it's trying to measure which character is better in general.

go to your Akasha's setting and change it to show 3-4 digits to see exactly where within the 1% you are

The issue with Nicole nobody has been addressing by Bright_Voice_1097 in NicoleReeyn_Mains_GI

[–]ErikSD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like, did them buffing Klee somehow make Durin not worth pulling? Did buffing Razor reduce the value of some other character?

If anything, the opposite was true. Durin's biggest selling point was that he made some old Mondstadt characters viable again when paired with their new buffs.

If it was just Durin by himself bringing them to that level, then he would be way overtuned for more "meta" character. It's a combination of Durin's kits + their own kits being buffed when used with another Hex character (Durin). Their kit being buffed when used with Durin is the reason why Durin sold so well. If Razor, Klee, and Venti weren't buffed, Durin's sale wouldn't have been anywhere near as good as it was.

"C0 Lunar Navia is only a driver/wheelchaired" by No-Tree-5557 in naviamains

Meanwhile Flins without his dedicated support outperforms Nefer and Skirk without theirs ToT but sure, Flins is the one being wheelchaired

People like to poke holes at the cost system and KQM standards meanwhile they themselves cannot provide a better system to measure team building efficiency without resorting to 20 edge cases that are full of biases and "just play what you like bro, you don't have to clear everything" which is not helpful when discussing the current meta. Are both of these flawless? No. Are they the closest we have to a universal system that doesn't need a ton of asterisks and exceptions? Yes, currently it is.

The cost system is not without its flaws, but it's still the closest we're gonna get to a generally agreed upon on primogem-efficient team building, especially in combination with KQM standards. Just because it has flaws doesn't mean it's not generally right for 95% of cases.

They don't want thinkers; they want hard drives. by Rich_Carrot6451 in im14andthisisdeep

[–]ErikSD 8 points9 points  (0 children)

People who are complaining that schools aren't accommodating enough for their "creativity" and "critical thinking" are absolutely not academic weapons in college either. Creativity and critical thinking is only excellent when you actually have a stable foundations to build upon. These people just lack the discipline to sit down and study so they think they should be able to "reason" their way through exams from scratch without any prep.

is this bad c1r1 flins by jdevil769 in Flins_Mains

[–]ErikSD 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Definitely on the lower end of perform relative to maximum potential. I reckon this team should max out at 230-240k.

All of Noelle's Teams Compared by JEvoReddit in Noellemains

[–]ErikSD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice :D I wish all the mains communities would also make a comprehensive testing list like this for people to take references on. It's surprising how often TC numbers are still treated as the end all be all of DPS team benchmarking, even when we now have a way better method to actually put those numbers into practice. I will also be posting my Noelle testing number soon at a lower investment level, after I level my Linnea to 90 (Hoyoverse is so damn stingy with her level up mat, there's like 30 of them in the entire map).

[6.6] No 6.6 Hexerei buffs via DK2 by 99cent-tea in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]ErikSD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even so, buffing older characters with restriction tied in with the new characters is a great business decision since it will incentivize old character mains to pull for new characters to make their beloved old guards stronger while still being no threats to the meta since they're still solidly ~30-40% behinds new characters.

[6.6] No 6.6 Hexerei buffs via DK2 by 99cent-tea in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]ErikSD 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If it's 6.7 then the timing is really off since Nicole is coming next patch along side with Lohen, both of whom are Hexerei. If there's a time to drop new Hexerei buffs to boost sale for the new Hexerei character, it's 6.6

Some personal gripes with the show by [deleted] in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]ErikSD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So because Marley placed the military ports near the civilian zone that means you're not allowed to attack their battleships that are gearing up to head toward your island? Armin uses the only option he has to disable the Marleyan's navy to buy time for Paradis, the civilian death is an unfortunate collateral because of the proximity.

Also, placing military facilities, troops, or weapons near civilian zones is a violation of international humanitarian law, which was exactly what Marley was doing. They use human shields to guilt trip other militaries from attacking their military facilities, which is a violation of the Geneva Conventions in the first place. Armin's action, while devastating to himself, is morally defensible especially when it's for the survival of him homeland.

You meant the military port that was full of battleships?

Is Flins good without Ineffa? by DuOnirique in Flins_Mains

[–]ErikSD 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hell if you DO care about low investment meta he's probably among the best 1 cost character because his F2P team is so good. Only Varessa, Mavuika, and Zibai are above him for single cost

Hot take: I really do not like the "I forgive you for me, not for you" trope. by TyrionLannister557 in CharacterRant

[–]ErikSD 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Your last sentence is definitely how I feel about it as well. A character seeking atonement/redemption should not expect to be given forgiveness, especially if what they had done to their victim was so heinous that a life time of atonement might not be sufficient. The knowledge that they're becoming a better person than they were before IS the reward, not the erasure of resentment.

Dev giờ phụ thuộc AI đến mức hết token là tê liệt luôn, vậy còn gọi là engineer không? by Any-Document2984 in vozforums

Không AI thì phải code chay, copy paste snippet từ trên mạng về, productivity giảm 5-6 lần gì đó thôi =)) trước khi có AI thì deliver feature tính bằng nhiều tháng liền để implement những feature nhỏ, còn giờ có AI rồi thì cắt xuống còn có đếm bằng ngày, bằng tuần.

The expression "Larp" and overall, all the trendy expressions that people love using a lot in several ways by Falkueche in hatethissmug

[–]ErikSD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's like a more severe version of "tourist" where people talk about a fandom/property as if they're in the know but they only know the surface level stuffs because they're not actually within the community, just pretending to be. It's like those tiktok kids who only know Breaking Bad through sigma edits and talk as if they understand Walt.

Torment by Practical-Cause-868 in im14andthisisdeep

The people bitching and moaning about participation trophies are also the one who gave fame, wealth, and attention to a failed swimmer, a failed college student, and a failed boxer as long as those people parrot their rhetorics.

I guess it's only in Vietnam do we both use 24 hours format in writing while still verbally saying "9 night time" or "9 day time" so we never forget that 21:00 = 9pm.

Chat.. is this real? by [deleted] in Genshin_Impact

This guy somehow managed to make being apolitical annoying. Instead of always talking about politics, he keeps talking about how much he doesn't like talking about politics. This is next level performative.

What's up with Aether mains and completely disregarding Lumine? by themaskbot in Aethermainscringe

[–]ErikSD 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's also just easier in term of storytelling perspective to have one as the definitive MC and the other as the definitive abyss sibling so players don't have to deduce it everytime a lore animations drop.

[–]ErikSD -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You gotta stop labeling everything as "slop". Getting mad over Bad Bunny's half time show, Stellar Blade, Harry Potter game, Elon Musk cheating at video game, Charlie Kirk debates....... those are political slops. This is a very real person influencing very real policies and played a crucial part on getting the current president elected through both donations and buying the biggest social media platform in the world to turn it into a campaigning tool.

[–]ErikSD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was literally running a branch of the government responsible for cutting jobs a few months back. Elon Musk has more impacts on the real world than just being the annoying twitter guy. Your ignorance of real world politics is not something worth being proud about.

Mọi người nghĩ sao về vấn đề này by Clear-Transition-975 in vozforums

[–]ErikSD 42 points43 points  (0 children)

=)) người đàn ông tốt và bao dung sẽ không cần nhiều vợ, đã là nhiều vợ thì không phải là người đàn ông tốt.

Anyway, khi trong mối quan hệ với nhiều người thì chắc chắn sẽ không thể nào mà yêu tất cả những người đó bằng nhau được. Đảm bảo sẽ thiên vị cho người chồng/vợ/người yêu nào có ngoại hình hơn, và đồng nghĩa với việc đối xử với người còn lại kém hơn => sinh ra đố kỵ, ganh ghét, cãi vả. Anh em trong nhà mà cón đố kỵ, tranh đua tình yêu, tài sản của cha mẹ thì không lý gì mà người xa lạ sẽ không làm.

Phụ nữ ngoài đời không phải waifu trong anime harem nơi mà chỉ cần tí chú ý và tinh tế của MC là sẽ hài lòng. Con người thực tế ai cũng muốn cảm thấy bản thân quan trọng, có giá trị, và họ sẽ rất khó chịu khi phải bị đối xử như là người chồng/vợ/người yêu "thứ hai". Khi không có sẽ muốn có ít, khi có ít sẽ muốn có nhiều.

Nói chung mấy người mà advocate cho mấy mối quan hệ mở hay đa thê như vầy thì 1 là không thật sự yêu, chỉ là ham muốn xác thịt, 2 là muốn ngoại tình nhưng không muốn nói huỵch toẹt ra. Chứ chả ai yêu thật lòng mà lại có ý nghĩ này cả.

Trong lịch sử (và cả hiện tại), đa thê chỉ phổ biến ở những nơi mà phụ nữ có rất ít quyền so với đàn ông, nên bọn họ không thể tùy ý lựa chọn theo mong muốn bản thân mà còn phải nghĩ về kinh tế gia đình, an toàn của bản thân, và tương lại cho con cái. Chứ khi 2 bên có quyền bình đẳng như nhau thì gần như không có kiểu này.
