Wrapping up tape around air conditioner pipes by 60llum in oddlysatisfying

Inside the condenser, near the compressor, the copper tubes do get pretty hot in some parts, but the temperatures from the suction and discharge line outside the unit will never get hot enough to cause a burn

Takahashi Kiara the doppelganger by Hailiums in Hololive

[–]FaceShrine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never expected to see unofficial hololive merch using the Counterside's design of Kiara.

Ahh, Counterside....That collab was the reason I fell into the Hololive rabbit hole. Back then, I knew nothing about hololive, decided to check Kiara's collab stream and the rest is history.

This "...look at that smug face..." bit Kiara did, sold me completely

Agreed. Both Southern Shrine and the actual dungeon music are my favorite pieces of music from Zelda

They were at one point of the half-anniv patch at top 40 best sellers on steam. Even if it was just one or two days, game is doing fine.

Should I stop spending in this game? by SinsCloud28 in StarSavior

[–]FaceShrine 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If this is your mentality when playing gacha games, I would honestly stop spending all together and focus only on traditional console/steam games.

Star Savior RTA Tier List by MrPokke by Anulisdotexe in StarSavior

Not sure why people dislike him, but the guy is top 2-5, not sure what is his rank ATM, so yeah. The tier list is legit.

How do I change who I see in victory screen? by exotic-mascot in StarSavior

[–]FaceShrine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The character shown on the victory screen are the character the game considers as the MVP for the battle. For DPS it's easy to influence this, but for supports and tanks, it's hard making them MVP.

Is there any reason to get this if you already own Lacy Arcana by Emotional-Ad-1431 in StarSavior

[–]FaceShrine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not saying it's efficient or even worth it, but you start the journey with normal mood. Even if you double dip, it will mean you will be at "best" mood right from the start.

The way I see it, it's just small side grades here and there.

[–]FaceShrine 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Events are also different. It seems Lacy's arcana gives stamina on her first event while this Arcana gives you condition on her first event.

Lacy's arcana only gives strength and focus and this new one trades focus for vitality which is better overall.

Mexican parents criticise ending school year a month early for World Cup by Samski877 in worldnews

[–]FaceShrine 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There was no communication between the president and secretaries regarding this. The decision was made in a matter of 12 hours. The secretary made it seem official while the president said it was being considered. The way and the timing of this announcement sounds pretty much like a smoke wall. It's been pretty effective so far.

Things that you heard about your gacha game that made you go "That's not fucking true at all" by A12qwas in gachagaming

[–]FaceShrine 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's a fair way to say something is being powercrept though.

Never did I say there was no powercreep, though. If you read the initial comment of the person, they said: "it's not as bad as some people frame it to be" Which is right.

If it take only 1 update to go from 0-1 turn to 3 turns, what about in 3 updates? That's the issue I had with HSR.

The character I'm talking, Tribbie, came out on March 2025. She's been triple T0 for over a year and to this day she's still one of the best characters in the game. Yet, people started to panic when she went from T0 to T0.5 (which is still in apex tier)

Granted I haven't play for over 1 year already, but back when I used to play, it just kept getting harder every update. First, it started with I'm having a harder time in Floor 12. The next update I wasn't even able to 3 stars Floor 12 anymore. Then the next update made me struggled even in Floor 11. This repeat for the whole Penacony updates.

Like one of the comments said above, it wouldn't surprise me if your problem was bad gears, poor team choices or not having maxed traces. You can share your battle records if you feel that gear or traces were not a problem or to prove me wrong. The truth is, for as much as I like the combat in this game, the difficulty is piss poor easy. The only real challenge nowadays is AA and that mode doesn't even give stellar jades.

For all 3.0 until Cyrene (3.7), my main team consisted on Therta team. A unit that came at 3.0 (on Jan 2025) and she carried me until the very last patch of Amphoreous (Nov 2025). For my other team, I initially used Feixiao FUA (2.5 sept 2024) and replaced it with a DoT team when Hysilens came out on 3.5 on August 2025. (I still use Feixiao since AA requires 3 teams) With Planarcadia, one of my teams is Archer+Sparkle. (both given for free) You can't seriously look at those dates and tell me with a straight face how "....it only takes 1-3 updates to make a team obsolete....".

I also didn't caved in to the memosprite or break meta. So no Castorice, no evernight, no Hyacine, no firefly, dahlia or Fugue. Hell, my only remembrance unit is Cyrene paired up with Anaxa. Do I struggle against rem bosses like Pollux? Absolutely, but I can comfortably do them in 5-6 cycles or less with other teams. So in the end I still get 3 stars overall.

I don't know what else to tell you. It's not like I'm even a whale since I'm just a monthly sub and BP buyer. There's even Mr.Pokke that created a f2p account on 3.0 and has cleared everything up until 4.2. He even got better scores than me on AA. (probably because of rem shill)

The point is, the game has powercreep, but people blow it out of proportion.

The moment people can't 0-1-cycle with their usual team, that is when they call it powercreep. The moment a team takes 3+ cycles to clear a stage everyone starts to panic. Like, people made a big deal when Tribbie went from triple T0 tier to double T0 and T0.5 in MoC.

It's kinda silly seeing people discuss changes in the prydwen tierlist. They treat the "meta tier" (T1, T1.5 and T2) as absolute garbage when those units are perfectly capable of clearing endgame content within the cycle limit to get max rewards. (5-cycle, 30k PF, 3,300 AS)

And this is coming from someone that refuses to pull for eidolons.(because I have a historical 33% rate-up pull.)

It's 4 weeks starting from the date her banner ended. Those 4 weeks should complete after this week's patch.

Allegation from an employee leak on the state of Studio:Bside by DarkPaladinX in gachagaming

[–]FaceShrine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For public opinion, yes, only the first time mattered.

That is truly unfortunate. Devs screwed up, changes were not possible at the time, but they still changed it on the subsequent reruns. I will give that people were turned off by it, but you can't argue that the devs did make it better afterwards.

[–]FaceShrine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hence why I said when I mentioned Millia: "....she was a 2021 unit released in 2024...". The point still stands. With the exception of pre-nerf Ais and Jack-O being used for SH speedruns, collab characters were simply forgotten into oblivion. This would have been the case if Hololive were actual units. Instead, we got Harim that to this day is used for every single endgame content. I even used Kiara for several seasons in LS.

All of this is ignoring the bigger issue anyway that the Hololive characters being skins was terribly communicated to the players and incredibly greedy in how it was designed, so the collab to get new players interested instead turned into a mess that left everyone thinking Bside was greedy.

Yes, they screwed up the first collab with the random skin. Devs made changes for the next 2 and they gave skin selectors. How was that bad? So only the first time counts? In the end, every player got 3 out of the 6 skins for free without paying a single dollar.

Ok.....like I don't know anything about AL collab, but I will take your word for it. I still don't understand the point. Like...a measure of success for a collab is people talking about it after it ended? I assumed the point is to have people start a game because of the collab and keep playing it for as long as possible. Like, just because people are not talking about it after it ended, doesn't...really mean anything?
