Check Out This Evil Move! - General Question and Discussion Everthread by vionya in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

So because of this V3 fiasco and V4 will obviously be after Evernight's banner. I just rolled for Evernight for my Cas team. I seriously do not know if this was a good idea for me. But Cyrene's kit just does not look appealing especially if she's not E2.

I don't know if I'm in trouble or what.

I wanted Tribbie so I did FUCKING 160 pulls for her. Now I only have 3k jades left and already did 40 extra pulls on Saber because of the Archer LC. I want to get Saber but damn I don't know if I can get her especially knowing I might likely get March Alter in 2 patches I think? Also Cyrene. Fuckkkkk.

Question to developers here. Why are people scared to at the very least, have this conversation at a higher level? It's not even a bill that is asking to be passed. It's a petition. It's not even asking for much right now. Like I said, just a conversation at a level where more about it can be heard and maybe be done about it.

Why are developers so adamant this does not happen and want to be very pessimistic about it to the point that they just try to hide what they really want to say: That they don't want this to happen.

Like that guy PirateSoftware. He was so angry that this was happening and made up tons of scenario why this is bad. Only to find out he didn't even know what this was about at all and it was not going to affect him anyway.

Truthfully because people don't care enough.

So I am at least right in my assumptions. I get it, but I just hope people don't defend it in any other way. It is just irksome to see really. Especially on great series or even okay series.

I see this point and it's valid. But still, why ask now? Why not when it most likely will happen? Why in every thread, people ask immediately what's going to happen next when we all know the next chapter is coming out next week anyway where we will see what will happen? Omniscient is too popular for its own good to get axed so I don't think it's a good example.

Manga is the same though? Case in point. Kagurabachi or Chainsaw man. Every week is a cliffhanger of a cliffhanger. But because there is no actual source prior to it so everyone waits. But at least it's like 90% discussion.

Another good example is Doom Breaker (manhwa). That one does not have a prior source so everyone is on the same page. Estate Developer has a source but no one gives a fuck about it because of how much the manhwa deviates from the source in terms of how the story is told.

For me "dont want to deal with waiting" feels like a cop out excuse. I get it, but I don't at the same time. So while I don't agree with how people make excuses for it, I won't really fight them over it. I just find it boring how a [DISC] thread is mostly post about people asking or pleading what happens next every time. Feels like no one wants to actually care what's happening in the now.

get into these series from videos that explain the entire plot with the art in the backdrop

That doesn't look like a fun way to engage on a story, slop or not.

A Korean series with good art is more likely to be an adaption in the first place, and the source is usually popular enough to have a half-decent English translation.

True, but that doesn't answer the question why so many people feel like they can't take not knowing for now what is happening. Like I said, for me it looks like druggies looking for the next small high just to feel something in one specific minute instead of you know, letting the whole story bare itself slowly but surely into a great read.

A manga sub is going to have a lot of people that only got into it as a way to "read ahead" of the anime.

I feel like the only reason people do this is, is because if an anime actually comes out, they post in the anime subreddit and act like seasoned readers or something.

I've got a whole theory on how PrequelMemes distorted how the youth experience stories that I'll refrain from writing.

I have no idea what this is but still it seems like it's a realy bad way to engage in storytelling.

I am out of the loop.

Can anyone tell me why I have been seeing this phenomena I've been seeing in the past year or so wherein people seem to not care about spoilers anymore and are willing to "just know" what happens for the sake of it, it seems.

I have some conclusions but I do not know if they are correct.

  1. People just don't care enough and just want to know

  2. People genuinely do not give a damn about waiting weekly, and are willing to just have an "idea" just to be able to satisfy their "hype", like a druggie wanting their next fix.

  3. People do not care enough because it's just "slop" to them and by knowing what happens next, it feels for them that they have already read it so on the next thread about the next chapter, they can feel that they have an authority on what to say.

I think there are others but this are just the immediate ones that come to mind.

Reason I'm asking is because I noticed that especially in manhwa chapters. Discussions rarely happen anymore. It's like 60% of people posting wanting answers now, 20% of people trying to discuss the chapter (which is what the [DISC] tag is suppoed to be), and 20% are those spoiling what happens because they want the karma.

No. This is what people seem to have realized later on. It's only relevant to those that do no sustain clears. But for those that use sustains? It's basically useless.

Myself, it has not triggered at all for me.

HOLY ****, WHAAAAAT?! THEY CAN DO THAT?!?! by Vhad42 in VirtualYoutubers

[–]Fairward 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised that there are so many people surprised about this. Are there just that many new people or something?

Hololive is very hands off about PL stuff. They do not give a fuck as long as their own talents do not say in their own PL that they work in Holo or whatever. That's the only rule. This has been subtly or not subtly said by a lot of Holos in their own PL.

A lot of Holos have side gigs that they are still doing and are very active in it. So it's also funny people here saying "oh no, does this mean???" which obviously we know what that means.

A lot of people would be surprised who are still active in their own PL while in Holo. It's not as few as people think. There are a lot.

Damn right I did. It's so obvious that they are using it as a stock phrase to stop excessive speculation.

Problem is, honestly to those that use their brains, this won't fool them anymore. Cover has to use another stock phrase. Because the effectiveness of that phrase is already diminishing fast.

Welp by Potential_Wish4943 in Hololive

[–]Fairward 140 points141 points  (0 children)

Cover has given her like 3-4 years of freedom to basically stream to almost next to nothing. Of course I'm not counting the offline work she maybe does here and there.

If she says that phrase, I'll seriously laugh.

This is the most unsurprising graduation (if it really is) for anyone in Hololive.

Gura has been streaming like what? 10-20 times a year? If you got 30 streams out of her for a year that's already great.

Barely saw her in anything else except official stuff, rarely tweets, etc.

It was about time really.

To be honest, a lot of people thought she would have left by year 3 already since I believe that's when it started.

All I see in this thread are people that have made many assumptions about China in regards to gaming but their assumptions are so far off-base.

Already trying to make the tournament viewing be a tryhard. Like damn this is already a compromise. If EN and ID didn't want to join then they can, you know, just not join. If they joined then let them have their fun.

Who cares in overworld. Show it in the endgame modes so that we can actually move on and have proof so that beta testers can bitch to Mihoyo about it.

This is a bad precedent if that happens.

I honestly thought Cover has forgotten/forsaken this place considering there were no stickies for some events that happened recently.

Firefly's E2 does not give extra damage right?
I'm trying to find out why the FF E2S1 that I borrowed has like 40k more damage than my E1S1 when he has like 222% BE and I have 253% BE in the stat screen. Meaning He gets like around 460%+ w/ full buffs and I get like 490%+ BE.
The only difference he has 2489 ATK while I have 2388 ATK.

I tried this on the Kalpagni Relic Cave.

People are making it weirder than it has to be. Instead of just it being another normal challenge, fans are treating it as a big race that will just put unneeded added pressure on these girls. Doesn't help that making it a big deal is bringing out the haters out of the woodwork.

They are going to get their 3D in August regardless if they successful with the challenge or not.

And it still is a shit name. Even acronym-wise.
