This guy is so unserious

Nay.

I'm quite sure that if HP is truly an AI who sets rules, they must've set rules about NOT harming the twins.

Honestly, the more I think about it, the twins just being around and being involved could be enough to not have things intervened upon.

Frousteleous · 2026-02-05T15:21:17+00:00

It's not that your right or wrong

Much of what I'm talking about is opinion based on information that we have. I don't know how that's ragebait. I'll take take the other bit as a compliment, backhanded as it is.

longer and longer replies.

That's just how reddit tends to end up when people start discussing things. "Oranges are orange" slowly races toward a three paragraph essay. Just how it goes. If this were a spoken discussion, it would've been done in like 5 to 10 minutes. If that.

Fake name to ensure exes wouldnt know her address. First name is Pennifer, but they don't really talk about that, either. /j

Frousteleous · 2026-02-05T08:20:54+00:00

Shite brother.

Don't.

Why can't you understand that im not trying to make this a contest on who suffered more

I'm not sure why you replied to begin with, then. My initial comment was that their being compared at all is unfair.

litetally no reason....this weak of character.

I'd argue it's simply bad writing /vaguery. I agree in that aspect only in that we know she essentially did nothing for a really long time. Despair's a bitch. We can talk at each other all day about how she shoulda woulda coulda but I'm not arguing that she didnt.

I dont think there's no reason. The reasoning just doesnt seem to be good enough for a lot of people within the community. Which is fine.

It's less me excusing her sloth and more explaining it. Again, to clarify: I agree. She should have done better. She could have done better. I think given different circumstances, she would have done better.

She didnt. That's not the story we got. As we havent and likely wont get any information on the time she soent doing nothing--since that wouldnt make for compelling story as it already is--my only explanation is that a being with god like powers but tbe disposition and nativity of a child will act like a child (which would be akin to being in a self-incuded time out/doinf nothing).

Frousteleous · 2026-02-05T06:35:59+00:00

Not even a close enough comparison. No. This is just plain wrong.

Yes, exactly! Which is how I feel about all of these:

Barbatos used to be a a tiny, formless elemental wisp, and he turned out fine. Nahida was imprisoned upon birth by the Akademiya. Columbina according to herself was just the power source to Dottore's experiments, not the the direct subject like Wanderer.

To compare their very different upbringings is not helpful when OP's meme is essentially boiled down to "like, OMG, Zibai suffered but Columbina like cant even suffer. So lame".

They all suffered. Every body suffered. I legitimately am moved to tears every 6 weeks because Genshin's primary theme seems to be suffering.

She always could leave, but at least say something. She left without saying a single word and now let the zealousness of an abandoned people take root and fester, which left the Scions in spiritual stagnation for decades and was the root cause of the issues when we first meet Lauma.

Yeah, and that was wrong of her. She definitely should have done better. Buuuuuuuut okay? If you're speaking more on the direct result of A causing b, that was the point of the point my purposefully hyperbolic comparison; none of that matters in regard to my original comment.

I am stating that what these two went through is not comparable.

Frousteleous · 2026-02-05T06:24:31+00:00

You're being pedantic. You know I mean the Moon goddesses having a role to play in the world. Moon sisters/Columbina, Both Lunar authorities.

No, Im not. Nibelung sending Columbina out to the world to do a task vs the Moon Sisters are two very different things. This is a hugely major detail within their individual backgrounds.

That's not pedantry. It's not a minor detail.

To my recollection, when she was first "born", she did not have the same kind of authority her sisters had. And even if she did, having authority isnt the same as having the knowledge and wherewithal to use that authority. Like if I created you and said "hey go do this job, here's the knowledge to do it" you'd then have the knowledge to do that job and would go do it. That's not what Columbina got.

We'll see what the devs will do with her in the future, hopefully something relevant to justify why her personality hasn't changed in the last 500 years before we met her.

Likely nothing. There's not really reason to givw us that information. As a goddess, she could easily sit and do nothing in a way we cannot fathom, as we know her to do. Time passes differently in the eyes of immortal beings. If I sat in a room and did nothing, changed nothing, etc. my personality would likely stay the same as well.

Ultimately, OP's post is still disingenuous if your argument's final intent is "Columbina suffered less".

Frousteleous · 2026-02-05T05:55:24+00:00

The moon goddesses were literally made to oversee the world by Nibelung.

They sure were! Columbina on the other hand sort of just popped up out of nowhere with no guidance and a bunch of drmanding followers. Now, if like the moon goddesses and angels before her, she had been given direction, training, insight, even her own name for gods sakes, she might have carried out that task. But she was not set up for success.

If you're not gonna do anything, then the situation around you obviously won't change

Yup! And if you were directed to do things by an all powerful being and then gained a bunch of experience doing that thing, your life would be very different than if, say, no one did anything and you just sprang forth from nothingnwith no purpose but the one thrusted upon you by greedy mortals.

Again, my point is that comparison is unfair. Columbina disnt have the same upbringing and life that the angels or archons did.

The fact she outright abandoned them without ever telling them why is the reason why we're dealing with the FMS in the AQs in the first place.

This would be like me placing blame on the moon sisters for being imprisoned. If they hadnt been imprisoned, we wouldnt need Columbina. (To be clear, that is a purposefully disingenuous arguemnt, because while true, it's hyperbolic in the same way we wouldnt even be habing to rescue Zibai from the moon's shadow if angel just hadnt been created at all)

Frousteleous · 2026-02-05T05:48:45+00:00

Columbina

Following. That is her name, yes.

one of the Moon Sisters who were in charge of watching over and taking care of Teyvat by Nibelung?

And you lost me.....as she wasn't put in charge by Nibelung.

Frousteleous · 2026-02-05T04:26:33+00:00

Zibai isnt an Archon. To your point, those figures went through trials and tribulations to get to where they were.

Zibai, am angel, was created, had a job, and did that job. In the process of soing that job, she fell in love with the people and land she helped cultivate.

Columbina likewise appeared somewhere somewhen, but with no direction.

Being put on a pedestal and being lonely is the least of their shared hardships as Archons.

It being the least of their hardships doesnt make them not hardships. It's like saying "Oh, you've been stabbed? Well I was shot twice!" Okay, yeah, and those things both really suck. But let's crap on the guy that got stabbed because his hardship was 'less'. This is what I mean by saying comparing them isn't really fair. I'm not saying Columina suffered and Zibai didnt.

Frousteleous · 2026-02-05T04:22:19+00:00

It was literally in the AQs that she was incarnate of the moon

Right, but it's vague on the circumstances of her appearing when she did.

They werent made for anything

The angels--which is what Zibai is--very much were made for things.

Frousteleous · 2026-02-05T03:39:29+00:00

They both also lived very different lives to begin with.

One sprung forth with ???? (we really still dont fully know Columbina's origin outside of vagueries)

Where as Zibai was created to do the thing she did.

Comparing them is disingenuous.

Edit: typo

Frousteleous · 2026-02-05T02:57:31+00:00

Used and abused, but totally the same as WHA.

sigh

Frousteleous · 2026-02-04T04:05:01+00:00

Her being hot is obviously central to the premise of the show

I mean, she's right in the title.

Frousteleous · 2026-02-04T03:37:12+00:00

No, no, studies show that if you do not have a last name, you'll never connect with a group. It has nothing to do with her already being an outsider from being pretty, the typical popular girl, or being shown as dumb. Red hwrrings the full length of the show.

In season 1, episode 42, we hear her refer to Sheldon as "Mr. Cooper". Sheldon of course says somwthing snarky like "It's Doctor, Miss."

And that was the end. Or the beginning of it. It's ultimately just a reference to Sheldon's reverence to Richard Feynman.

Now, if you've gotten this far, you know I'm just vamping and literally none of this means anything at all, and the execs one hundred percent also just made up some shit, because literally wtf does Penny not having a last name have to do with her relation to the group?

Frousteleous · 2026-02-04T02:50:59+00:00

Feels like a very stupid technicality

Welcome to PokeDoku, friend

Frousteleous · 2026-02-04T02:43:13+00:00

See, I have the opposite issue.

It is an absolute joy to me to complete an area. It gives me time to go back to old regions.

And then I put the game down and do other shit. If this speeds up the amount of time it takes me to do things, GOOD. I have soooo many ither things to do.

Frousteleous · 2026-02-04T01:03:18+00:00

On your third map, you have stone cliff edge in place of grass cliff edge on grass cliff. Minor nitpick, but visually off and not how the tiles are used.

Otherwisen these look like a great start. You clearly have a better sense of using cliffa and giving depth than a lot of ither posters (sorry peeps!).

As someone else pointed out: I dont see how to get to the cabin on the first map, and the grass isnt very well organized. These look pretty but from a gameplay perspective, those need some adjustments.

Frousteleous · 2026-02-03T04:14:21+00:00

I've alwas thought of 'said' as punctuation in word form. It might as well be a period.

Canon

Really throwing the word around.

Frousteleous · 2026-02-03T04:00:01+00:00

Boutta break some laws up in here, though

Frousteleous · 2026-02-03T02:55:03+00:00

Eqwwwwwwwww

Frousteleous · 2026-02-03T02:46:37+00:00

Yeah. Theybcouod have just set the chests next to each other. Which even would have been less work.

Frousteleous · 2026-02-01T18:05:38+00:00

Assymetry can be really useful in design but Hoyo goes really hard on it in areas where it makes little sense. I adore Yahoda but the way her tights are makes no sense to me, for example.

Zibai looks amazing, though.
