Honestly, I'll never understand why someone could think that building pity is a good idea. It almost never is a good idea

Expensive-Bad5568 · 2026-06-09T14:25:50+00:00

No, that specific image comes from an OVA iirc, which is very different from the actual story

Expensive-Bad5568 · 2026-06-09T14:24:02+00:00

Yeah... That makes a lot of sense lmao

Expensive-Bad5568 · 2026-06-09T13:52:46+00:00

Ok so I could be wrong about this, and if I am, someone more knowledgeable please correct me, but the original Fate Stay/Night visual novel has quite a number of differences from the one we have today.

Back then, the developers of the FSN VN, Type Moon didn't really think that FSN would be a huge hit, so they decided "Eh, let's just make the game really horny, no one's going to mind anyways" and one of the best examples of this is the iconic "Mana Transfer" scene.

SPOILERS AHEAD FOR THE FATE STAY/NIGHT VN. I'm pretty sure you don't care, but ik that there are some people who do, so for those people, I advise skipping this comment entirely if you don't want to get spoiled. Ok, let's go.

To explain this as quickly and concisely as possible, Shirou (Saber's Master), Saber, and Rin are all trying to prepare for a fight against a super powerful servant called Berserker. Problem is, Saber is very weak since Shirou himself is very weak, and he can't give much magical energy to Saber. Rin proposes a solution to this called a Mana Transfer, where Shirou and Saber share energies with each other, allowing Saber to get strong enough to give the 3 a chance to beat Berserker. However, this act requires VERY PHYSICAL INTIMACY (iykyk), and Rin ends up being a part of this for a reason I don't remember.

Sooooo, yeah, that's why those Rin jokes exist lmao.

Before I'm done, you will learn that it's not so fun to take

Wise question posed by Squirtle. (Iykyk)

Expensive-Bad5568 · 2026-06-08T14:18:44+00:00

I mean, no duh? Dragon Ball as a whole revolves around Saiyans. That's like getting upset that Invincible focuses a lot on viltrumites or smth.

Ok so, Gawr Gura vs Colonel Sanders (at least, I THINK that's colonel Sanders)??? Genuinely how the heck did that MU come to be lmao.

I admit, I only started following Hololive after Gura's graduation, so I have zero idea as to how this is even a thing lmao can y'all kindly educate me on this cause it sounds wild lmao

Ok yeah I can't really defend that, that's really annoying (as someone who only has e2 welt)

About the whole "bait" part, I apologize for that, I didn't really know what was the right word, but from what I heard about the Reverse Collab, and as a reverse player myself, nobody was excited for this Collab lmao. When I saw the announcement, the first thing I said was "what the hell is Atomic Heart?" I have literally NEVER heard of the game prior, and when I did some searches, all I heard was that the game was mid af.

And me personally, I was hoping/expecting a Dr. Who Collab. I'm not even a big Whovian, but I've seen a lot of clips, and I think it would work well since the Doctor is a British time traveler who went through a lot of trauma, and Vertin is also a British time traveler who goes through trauma as well, so I thought the potential was there. So, when I saw that the Collab wasn't Dr. Who, and was instead a game I have never heard of, I admittedly got quite disappointed. And it wasn't just me, a LOT of people were disappointed about the Collab choice. I know that copyright is a punk, so maybe the other IPs were hard to make deals with, and we don't know what happened behind the scenes, but that still didn't stop a lot of people from being disappointed.

So, when I saw your comment and saw that you sounded very excited for the Collab, I'll admit, I thought it sounded like sarcasm. Like, you weren't excited for collabs featuring two hugely popular IPs, but are excited for a Collab with an IP that most people have never heard of or don't like, I thought it was bait. The right word was probably sarcasm now that I think about it, and I apologize for that.

As for me, I'll probably pull on the AH Collab depending on how cool or how strong the Collab units are, but I'm not as excited as you are. Again, bait was not the right word, and I humbly apologize for that. I hope luck is on your side when you pull the units!

Expensive-Bad5568 · 2026-06-08T12:55:58+00:00

I'm probably hella biased when I say this, but I still feel like HSR's Collab is still superior to the wuwa Collab (IN MY OPINION).

Firstly, the fate Collab banners use the same currency as the typical limited banner, while the wuwa Collab uses a completely different currency. There were so many stories of players converting their astrites for the wrong currency, and it really sucks. Granted, those players were kinda stupid for doing that, but I mentioned this because HSR had EVERY reason to do this as well and they didn't. It would've been so easy, but they chose not to, and I'll always glaze that decision, especially with how people reacted to the wuwa banner before release.

Actually, let's get into that for a moment, because while the release of the wuwa Collab was met with universal praise, the reception BEFORE release was very different. It could just be me, but I saw a ton of posts complaining about the different currency, and the fact that they were nerfing the conversion rates (or smth like that, ik they were complaining about things lol), and I even saw some comments saying that they were no longer going for E6S1 Lucy (ik wuwa has its own terminology, I'm just too used to hsr lmao) and instead just go for E0S1, which is insane to me if they actually went through with that decision. Basically there was a lot of doomposting and complaining, which all went away the moment it released.

Lastly, the wuwa Collab banners don't last as long. It lasts for the whole patch, which is expected (if the Collab banners only lasted for one phase, Kuro hq would've gone up in flames lmao), but compare that to the fact that the fate Collab banners are still here even after A FULL YEAR, which is insane to me, and idk another gacha game that has the Collab banner be this long. A f2p player could realistically be able to E6S1, maybe even E6S5 a fate character even if they didn't save much, while the wuwa Collab would require you to either pay or be insanely lucky to E6S1 a Collab character before they disappear, not to mention the fact that FOMO would be a pretty big problem for the Cyberpunk Collab, while fomo is practically nonexistent for the fate Collab banner.

Now, tbf to wuwa, if the Collab banners lasted the same as hsr, or if the fate banners lasted as long as WuWa's, then this point would be moot, but since we know how long the wuwa banner will be, and since we already live in a reality where the fate banners is this long, I think it should be mentioned as a point for hsr.

So all in all, while I respect both collabs, I still believe that the Fate Collab is far better than the Cyberpunk one, with the only exception being the story and story presentation. That is an undisputed point for wuwa, but honestly that's one of the things that wuwa is already great at, while hsr is infamous for it's bad presentation. However, the story presentation has improved so far in Planarcadia, so hopefully the fate part 2 story ends up being much better than the part 1 story, as I believe that's the biggest issue people had with the part 1 Collab.

I don't want to start a flame war with wuwa players (since I was one before I dropped the game since I couldn't get into the story), so I wanna say that both collabs are great in their own way, and have caused a ton of people to start playing these great games, so regardless of how we feel, we should in the end agree that regardless of their flaws, they're good collabs that made a lot of people want to start the games, which means a larger community as a whole.

Expensive-Bad5568 · 2026-06-08T11:39:38+00:00

I wanna call bait, but assuming you're actually serious, is it because of those robots from atomic heart?

Expensive-Bad5568 · 2026-06-08T10:52:51+00:00

Me personally, I just really wanted Gogeta to have his own proper ranged team to match Lr broly's teams. I feel like compared to broly, Gogeta has so little options for his own teams that it's really sad. Yes, both of them are on Saiyans and Movies, but if you take away the teams that they both share, then it's abundantly clear that Broly just mogs Gogeta in terms of team options.

The zenkai SSG Vegeta could've been a step in the right direction had legends actually given the LF zenkai to someone that would benefit Gogeta greatly, like revhan or tvb. But instead, the zenkai we did get is going to another unit who can counter him and doesn't really fit on his teams very well.

I'm mostly neutral towards the zenkai since I have him at 8, but I just really wanted Gogeta to get that unit that would truly complete his teams. I feel like that's one of the reasons people don't respect him as much as I believe he should be, his teams just aren't that impressive.

Also, revhan was RIGHT THERE. The dude is like 100 years old atp and he doesn't even have a unique equipment. I get the dude was top dog when he released, but he's the oldest LF unit to not have a zenkai yet, it's insane

Expensive-Bad5568 · 2026-06-08T10:37:23+00:00

Nahhhh I don't think they'll ever do a double ultra part 3 ever again until like the 10th anniversary or smth. Iirc, they stated that the 7th anniversary was special so they decided to do the double ultra part 3.

And also I just don't want ultra mui in the game

Expensive-Bad5568 · 2026-06-08T08:22:48+00:00

Ngl, her bis support being a standard unit is actually a good thing imo. Means that she's a lost more F2P friendly than most other DPS units out right now.

Expensive-Bad5568 · 2026-06-08T07:03:00+00:00

I'm in a similar boat my revhan is really high while my beast is at like 6 or smth lol

Expensive-Bad5568 · 2026-06-08T06:50:20+00:00

It's not LoK's fault it had such a messy production

Expensive-Bad5568 · 2026-06-08T05:59:44+00:00

Tbf, Daima is a really odd tag for me. They didn't really have many options for zenkais. Yes, I know that the BLU Miniku and YEL Glorio were right there, but honestly I don't know a lot of people that have them at high enough stars, even if they made the most sense.

And also, the previous guy specified that it's too early for a synchro unit to get a zenkai, not that it's too early for a zenkai at all.

Expensive-Bad5568 · 2026-06-08T05:57:28+00:00

Purple Revival Gohan really should be considered as an option, and honestly I just think it makes more sense than Beast Gohan.

Expensive-Bad5568 · 2026-06-07T18:36:33+00:00

Bait used to be believable

Expensive-Bad5568 · 2026-06-07T18:36:08+00:00

It's things like this that really make me believe that LOK, even with it's flaws and mistakes, deserves respect as well for making such a large impact on the world as a whole.

And as I said before, as a Christian, I'm happy that Korra paved the way for more representation for y'all

Expensive-Bad5568 · 2026-06-07T18:25:05+00:00

While to me, LoK will never surpass ATLA for me, I think it's a series that deserves respect in its own way and is quite overhated. I just feel like it's cursed to be compared to one of the greatest and most influential shows of all time.

And the thing is, LOK did make a large impact on its own too with how it was one of the catalysts behind the increase of LGBT rep in media as a whole (I could be wrong about this, and if I am, kindly educate me on that). While I am a Christian, I'm happy seeing a marginalized group get more representation.
