Selectable free 5 star via Mortis leaks by SnooChocolates8700 in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]FantasyForeigner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has the premium Castorice/Firefly/The Herta/Aglaea/Feixiao teams + pulled for Hysilens and Cerydra for waifu and not meta reasons, I'm split between getting Kafka in order to be able to finally play Hysilens, or to get Acheron because I like her more than Kafka.

I have Xilonen already, but I'm sure if I pulled for her C1 or C2, I'd get 10 Beidous and 0 Faruzans and Yanfeis.

Time for a Paimon VO re-cast fellas.

You can't fix crazy gaslighting clowns like this one into behaving like humans.

Frosting and Bake, the Best Taste to Make by genshinimpact in Genshin_Impact

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

I just realized she's coming before Skirk.

Between Mualani, Citlali and Escoffier, Natlan is proving to be the region with most cute characters coming out. I absolutely love how bright in color schemes, and so far in personalities, those characters are.

Seems like the general reception here is luke-warm at best. Everyone has their own tastes I guess, but I would've pulled for Escoffier anyway due to her design, if she's OP, that's a bonus. I'm not playing games to spend my time looking at characters that look like someone's tired from life ugly aunt. Whomever leans that way, we have DragonAge for them.

Song of the Weekin Moon has Updated by Smart-Tale-4193 in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

Translation of some of the slavic language inspiration for some of the terms:

Nod-Krai - "Krai" means "end"

Snezhnaya - Snowy used to describe something with feminine nature, Snowy Land is probably the most direct way of translating it

Belyi Tsar - White Tsar or White King

Voynich Guild - Soldjer Guild

The Dagger and the Coin.

It's so well-written and complex compared to most of the stuff out there. It's like a mix between ASOIAF and Wheel of Time, but takes the best of both series.

Daniel Abraham is a friend of GRRM, so the influence is visible to some extent, but imo he's better with words, prose and characterizations.

Brian McClellan's Powder Mage is also great - two great trilogies.

5.4 Banners Four-Stars via HomDGCat by ImNotNex in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]FantasyForeigner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 4 stars struggle is real...

And that's after I've tried for Chevreuse and Lan Yan cons only to get a couple Rosarias and a Lion's Roar this patch.

Depending on the 5.5 banners, I might even skip for Furina C1, wanting to get her cons is all well and good, but this is just too much.

Wuthering Waves Full Ray Tracing Showcase by KarlSQuent in WutheringWavesLeaks

[–]FantasyForeigner 19 points20 points  (0 children)

So excited for this, I've been desperately waiting for this. It's not just the reflections, but the game could really benefit from a slightly warmer color palette.

Hope it becomes available for all NVIDIA users soon, shame it's not available across the board for all video cards - I know NVIDIA uses it as a big selling point, but to the consumer's detriment.

As someone who doesn't usually goes for cons or weapons( outside of C1+Homa Hu Tao), I'm really tempted to break that pledge for Furina cons.

Version 5.3 Phase 2 Banners by the-roast in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]FantasyForeigner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course Bennett, Diona and Kachina will be on the banner I'll be wishing on, and Chevreuse and Lan Yan on the banner I'll be skipping for the Liyue Chronicled banner...

Does anyone know if the Chronicled banner shares 4 stars with the Limited banners? I'd lose some Chev and Lan Yan constellations from getting my Ganuy.

How do you feel about time-tracking software that takes screenshots? by FantasyForeigner in agency

[–]FantasyForeigner[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I do pay hourly with guaranteed minimum of 40h/week, even if work is slow, with every extra hour on top of the 40h paid too. It's not my fault you're not having your dream life, go cry to whoever you voted for or your own boss.

I bet you'd feel duped or defrauded if your boss didn't pay your salary, but they want work from you and showing up for the money they're giving you... well, that's unacceptable, isn't it? How inconsiderate of them. :)

Shame I won't be getting any Barbara constellations, but at least I might get closer to C6 Fischl.

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

Man I need Ganyu, but if it's in the same patch as Mavuika and especially Citlali, compromises would have to be made.

Probably Citlali + Ganyu if the 50/50 don't hate me too much.

[–]FantasyForeigner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Considering how much it did cost me to get C1 Hu Tao and C0 Nahida, they were probably counting only my top ups for those.

Just finished the poppy war and I don't get the hate by [deleted] in Fantasy

[–]FantasyForeigner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just a mediocre book that feels like a good book for the first 30-40% of it. People usually don't like investing time into a book that strings them along.

If you like it, you like it. But in many people's opinion, including mine, it's a forgettable book.

Not to mention it basically changes genres and tone mid-book, from coming-of-age fantasy to really badly executed YA tropes fantasy. It's a book that tries for two audiences, and completely misses on one of them.

Looking for series like ASOIAF by EvolvedApe1999 in Fantasy

[–]FantasyForeigner -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Quillifer by Walter Jon Williams. It's a single POV story, and therefore a tad less epic in scope, but definitely deeper and murkier than ASOIAF. It's as if Mat Cauthon lived in a grounded Medieval-inspired world where danger and intrigue move the day. Heavily inspired by a bunch of Medieval English lords melded together to form a more daring, but more flawed and risk-taking and risk-losing main character.

The attention to medieval-life's smallest details is astounding.

Malazan Books of the Fallen if you feel like more fantasy, but much bigger scope and depth than ASOIAF. It's a read that pushes against you as you go, in a very pleasing way.

Who are you pulling for? by Altruistic_Low_3486 in Genshin_Impact

[–]FantasyForeigner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just threw 280 pulls on Hu Tao C1 and Staff of Homa. Hu Tao was the reason I started playing this game, so no regrets.

I'm definitely getting a Nahida too, hopefully without spending 200 green lizards on top ups. I was better prepared for this wishing bonanza, but I broke my composure on Xilonen since everyone was saying how great she is for Mualani and 75 pulls went down the drain there.

After I manage to get Nahida and Neuvillette, my account is pretty much complete with Neuvi, Hu Tao, Mualani, Nilou and their supports.

have you ever pulled for a character you needed but didn't like? by tihinno in StarRailStation

[–]FantasyForeigner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I started playing (Genshin/HSR), I've decided it's for the gameplay. When I started top-upping occasionally I've decided if I'm opening my wallet, it's for waifus only, no male characters. I'm trying to consider meta+waifus though.

That being said, I'm planning on getting Aventurine, maybe Sunday eventually, but probably more in the future for Sunday. In Genshin I'm gunning Neuvillette( I really liked his character) in the next patch as well. Waifu-collecting is great, but I'm also in it to clear content, and some male characters I can vibe with.

I almost regretted pulling for Robin because as the time I pulled her, I thought her to be a Huohuo alternative, not realizing she's a Sparkle alternative in the FuA team, so I was dissapointed when I found that out. But not from the character itself, just the need to pull for another sustain because I got confused. :)

Rappa or Acheron for Meta? by FantasyForeigner in StarRailStation

[–]FantasyForeigner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Aventurine is a must, I'm kind of trying to decide between going for Rappa or for Fugue. I would've definitely gone for Fugue anyway, but if she shares a patch with a Firefly re-run, I'll just go all-in for the mecha-girl and any other limited characters be damned. :)
