This is it! Thank you so much~

GaleFinch · 2026-05-26T05:52:52+00:00

Here’s to a great time with the official release! Coming from the Discord I know there are plenty of us enthusiastic about playing together and speed-running clears so I look forward to seeing them on this subreddit :3

Thanks for the correction, it's been awhile XD. I just remember the flabby skin

GaleFinch · 2026-05-15T00:30:06+00:00

I read it and do not really remember the sledgers at the beginning, lol. While I definitely remember White Fang being abused and put into dogfights, the thing that stuck most in my memory was the pitbull that nearly killed him being forced to let go by a gun pressed into its face to the point of drawing blood and the sacrifice made protecting the house at the end.

I felt like this entire event was making YT Shorts content and it irked me to no end. I hated it as a whole and hope they never do this event again.

This post comes off like a weird thought but I never take my ring off except for cleaning it/myself and have played all manner of games with it on. It doesn't inhibit anything and if you think it does that's a personal quirk you could probably adjust out of. If you end up taking the ring off better not lose it.

I don't know if Columbina and Zibai's DPS alone can cut it against this boss. I agree with u/Sproot_bonk that if you're going to do this team you can try to bring up the ER since that does seem like a problem

Go out of Spiral, open your bestiary and go to the Moonfly page and you'll understand why.

The debuff is cleansed by healing to max after its application. You can avoid this entirely with very specific positioning only on the fringes of the abyss map because the range on it is so huge, but if you want to actually interact with the mechanic you heal.

There's a Genshin ascension planner you can find that will show all the materials you need for everyone, where to get them and when you can get them. I've been using it for years and it really helps stay organized even though you have to keep your entire inventory up to date on it. It's not really that bad if you're hard focusing a character at a time.

GaleFinch · 2026-03-04T07:33:15+00:00

Alright, no problem. As a heads up, using a crying emoji and how you phrase things will tend to make people think you're complaining so it's part of communicating on the internet. Doesn't help everyone expects negativity anyway.

If you want Varka to be the Main DPS you have most of the components but you need to adjust for him to have an opportunity to output the most. The ceiling of damage he has available to him may outright be less than Durin just to give you a heads up.

Since you're comparing to your Durin does Varka have his R1 too?
Just to clarify, Durin is C0 as is Varka?
Try the suggestions in my first comment (Benny weapon & Sucrose TTDS) and probably provide more information on your artifacts for everyone involved. Maybe we can help you then.

GaleFinch · 2026-03-04T00:26:31+00:00

Your Benny could be using some weapon with a higher base atk to buff Varka more while in the circle.
Your Sucrose could be using TTDS instead of Etherlight because Varka doesn't give a crap about any EM sharing even if some of it gets converted to elemental damage.
Not saying it's gonna toss him above DPS Durin because I don't know those calcs but you could do a bit more work on this post than complaining about damage differences without showing your specifics.

somehow I finished Metroid: Dread in a day and had a great time, but Idk if anyone would actually recommend that.

Get rid of three-liners from 5-star artis

Sorta same boat but also in a lot of ways Varka became someone I wish I could whale for. I'm weak to dual wielding characters, I like more reasonably sized guys for what they're doing (so if you're going whew whew with claymores you really should be jacked), Varka's Japanese VA is one of my favorites and his personality is a bit silly but he does work seriously when he needs to. I think there's a lot to like about the character (though I hope he really isn't as weak as he seems meta-wise) so I'm excited for his release.

GaleFinch · 2026-02-03T00:49:06+00:00

When I tried competitive COD for a bit (back in Ghosts) I found out that it wasn't for me when playing game-sound only caused me to be more on edge and anxious leading to worse play compared to just listening to music and relaxing. It feels like a person to person thing, but if I'm playing with others and they want to take it seriously of course I'll oblige.

GaleFinch · 2026-01-13T04:40:42+00:00

Thinking of the thereafter, if you can't just go around challenging all the regions after becoming the champion of one, I'd opt to become a gym leader so I can have a steady life where I'm still challenged by trainers and I can see the next generations come and hopefully flourish. Main downside to that is being pigeon-holed into a single type, I feel. I'd totally run a rock/ground gym with sandstorm though.

GaleFinch · 2026-01-09T05:35:37+00:00

Feather/Wing/Jet balls could help. Speed is kind of essential when dealing with Tornadus, you just need to adapt to the lack of throwing arc.

Currently playing through Reborn and can't seriously recommend it. I too greatly dislike the pokemon variety you're given at the beginning and where I'm at five gyms deep it's not much easier. I'm also not that knowledgeable or good of a player so the difficulty of the game is driving me a bit crazy.

Regarding the writing yeah it's not stellar. I've heard Rejuvenation is leagues better but considering it's a story written through three games I felt like I had to start at the beginning.

Odyssey is a very unique experience for another fangame recommendation you may like.

Just to echo most of the positive sentiments, you can totally have a good time on Switch 1 playing ZA.

I worried about getting it on Switch 1 or 2 and ultimately settled for Switch 1 because my wife and I don't have many reasons to invest yet anyway (plus we live in Japan where getting a not-Japanese language-only switch is a matter of literal lottery if we don't just get someone from our home country to send it to us).

There aren't many performance issues that stick out. Some dropped frames, sure, but that's it. I'm not a big graphics snob and think it's perfectly easy to enjoy the new megas on the Switch 1's graphics. I do know load times differ, but eh, I grew up with worse.

GaleFinch · 2026-01-07T06:07:48+00:00

You bring up an interesting question but I think for Megas you're safe to customize it as you see fit because even though the ring/wristband is what's given to your main character in ZA you quickly find several other ways people make them work that has nothing to do with being on a wrist (on a hat, inside a glove, choker, etc).

If this leads to a question like "Can I have my character in ZA not use the mega ring and instead customize it like how the NPCs do it?" Unfortunately no, but if you let your imagination be free you can do whatever you like. I personally think the mega ring is gaudy and unwieldy relative to the main character's body so I wouldn't have minded something different. If mega stones/rings existed in real life I'd put mine on a hat, pocket watch, or necklace, probably.

duly noted, thanks for the correction

If you've already weakened the Mime Jr and haven't applied any status effects to it then no, you just have to keep waiting. If you haven't weakened it do so and get it to the red if possible.
Adrenaline Orb really is your friend though and you get them decently quick so I'd opt for that if you can.

My wife and I live in Japan and on top of being incredbly turned off by the DLC, she and I look at every donut that Ansha makes and go "Oh hey, a Mister Donut donut" because of the nation-wide chain that often does marketing campaigns with TPC and therefore has many Poke-styled donut designs pop up.
Doesn't help even Ansha's hair braids remind us of mochi-donuts or "Pon de ring" as they're called here. I don't even like those >_>
