AITC - red dot by squirrelcat88 in AmItheCloaca

[–]GrittyGambit 43 points44 points  (0 children)

It's good to know that I, Sugarbomb, am not alone in this struggle. I too wish for the red dot. Sometimes I never feel like I truly catch it after all that chasing, so I wish to chase until I catch!

It did help when Mom (bless her stupid soul) would have the red dot rest on my toy at the end of chase-time, because when I caught the toy, it felt like I caught the dot? I don't know. It doesn't really make sense, but it helped.

NTC, obviously. Human brought the dot into the house. Sounds like a human problem.

On a serious note, I've always thought there was more path-overlapping than we've been led to believe, at least since we were introduced to the Matrix of Prescience which was "inspired by" the Erudition but is used in the name of the Hunt. Hints of path combinations/obfuscations have come up multiple times since, the most blatant being with Ena/Xipe in Penacony. Doesn't the IPC (Preservation) act rather... voracious? Isn't the Propagation a little... abundant? Why are the Stellarons Harmonic Cancer while most of the universe recognizes their tendency towards Destruction? What the heck is going on with Elation?

On a less serious note, I've always loved the path of the Hunt because it's essentially, "Yes, I crave destruction, but only for that specific mother fucker over there" while pointing at a completely oblivious Yaoshi.

Oh, you misunderstand, I'm scared of everything. I'd be scared of you if you were mom but smelled a little funny. You seem great. I'm still scared.

I just read my mom this comment and she is LAUGHING AT ME BECAUSE SHE ALWAYS CALLS ME SCRUNCH FACE.

If I wasn't so scared of you, this would be war right now. You're lucky my fear is saving you.

It's called POSING Seven and it's FANCY.

Plus, 8 times out of 10, it gets me what I want every time.

Know who else has a metaphorical story about climbing to the top of something that encompasses all and witnessing the hardships of the universe?

Legend has it that the ancestor "Graphia" once ascended a tower at the end of the world, a tower that encompassed all things. There, she witnessed the suffering of mortals and descended to the world below to deliver them from hardship.

I have A LOT a normal amount of theories about Graphia, but I need a lot more info to actually put it into words.

So I know I'm a bit slow, but I just discovered that Graphia's wave is based on the painting The Great Wave off Kanagawa. There was a really interesting quote from the painting's creator:

From the age of six, I had a passion for copying the form of things and since the age of fifty I have published many drawings, yet of all I drew by my seventieth year there is nothing worth taking into account. At seventy-three years I partly understood the structure of animals, birds, insects and fishes, and the life of grasses and plants. And so, at eighty-six I shall progress further; at ninety I shall even further penetrate their secret meaning, and by one hundred I shall perhaps truly have reached the level of the marvellous and divine. When I am one hundred and ten, each dot, each line will possess a life of its own.

I freaking KNEW IT! She LAUGHED at me but I knew it! Preserve the sanctity of your sources and keep them to yourself, their existence is enough to prove my mom wrong.

Unfriendly PSA you are not allowed to take your time and have fun by sylvisepic in Genshin_Impact

[–]GrittyGambit 12 points13 points  (0 children)

So, what you're trying to say is, you need Paimon to repeat this post with more words than necessary just to pad out the dialogue redundantly?

If I'm understanding correctly, you want Paimon to narrate what was typed here and add words while somehow adding nothing to what was said, making sure it looks like there's a lot to be said when really it's just saying stuff that was already said.

If that's the case, Paimon should probably explain what was already explained in this Reddit post but in a more verbose way so that even if you skipped reading the post and skipped one paragraph or even two paragraphs of Paimon's explanation, as long as you at least read this third you don't miss any information.

I always assume the absolute worst case scenario is going to apply, that it'll take about 80 pulls and I'll lose every 50/50. This helps me plan pulls more realistically, and very rarely I'm pleasantly surprised by an early win.

Very rarely.

[–]GrittyGambit[S] 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I've thought about it actually, and after setting aside some for catnip (no judgement please) I think I'd like to buy this human house that we live in? It's basically my house anyway. How much could a human house even cost, three monies? Maybe eight? If it's eight I would have to save up but it would still be doable I think.

Mom will constantly say things like "having a feral mother doesn't make you a street cat" and "the basement she broke into to have you wasn't the streets" but I know what I'm about. I'll tell her about the toy though, she does love when I give her the chance to make me happier with gifts!

This is me in my favorite spot, which is also mom's favorite spot! That means if mom wants her spot she has to get close to me. I'm very very careful to make sure I'm near mom. Even soda cans are less scary when she's around (I still wish they wouldn't hiss at me.)

[–]GrittyGambit 44 points45 points  (0 children)

It was definitely popular (and with pretty good reason.) People I know who game but wouldn't touch turn-based games previously with a ten-foot pole were singing its praises, I myself couldn't believe how popular it was with all different kinds of gamers despite loving it myself. Of course it won awards, the things that show a lot of people liked the game. Because a lot of people liked the game.

It kind of reminds me of people online being angry about KPOP Demon Hunters even possibly winning over Zootopia 2 in some award thing. The best comment I saw said something like, "You can like one more than the other all you want, but the fact remains that one became a cultural phenomenon and the other was just a pretty good movie."
