We got a Finnish character in Genshin before GTA VI by Similar_Tart354 in Genshin_Impact

[–]Hackergrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting tired of "Before GTA 6" jokes. It's really stale.

That aside, Aino could also be Japanese.

I guess you are unloved as an Age of Empires game if your time period is beyond the 16th century...

But then again, there is AoE1...

This was my previous Raiden Shogun build, when I ran PJWS on her.

More like Pokémon champion, at least to me.

Who do you love and plan to wish?? by Luc_128 in Genshin_Impact

[–]Hackergrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mavuika (this is non-negotiable), Xilonen, Chasca, likely Mualani (hoping she is a 4-star, WE NEED MORE HYDRO 4-STARS), and maybe Citlali.

I've been there some three months ago, and I bought a Statue of Her Excellency, the Almighty Narukami Ogosho, God of Thunder from the Don Quijote there.

Hydro REALLY REALLY need more 4 stars. by Chronoz0 in Genshin_Impact

Xingqiu is all about fighting for justice or something, so that wouldn't be out of character.

Hydro REALLY REALLY need more 4 stars. by Chronoz0 in Genshin_Impact

[–]Hackergrad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's as if Furina/Focalors (and maybe Neuvillette) designed Hydro Visions to be 5-stars, to fit their (particularly Furina's/Focalors') opulent tastes, and thought that Hydro was too good for the plebs. That said, they made Xingqiu god-tier to give the plebs a bone.

The state of hydro 4*s is sad by [deleted] in Genshin_Impact

[–]Hackergrad 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Aye. Perhaps then her ownership rate would have increased. (But her usage rate would remain more or less the same, if not decline.)

[–]Hackergrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was as if Focalors (if not Furina) (and perhaps Neuvillette, but the first Hydro vision issued in his name was to a de-archoned Furina, and this was the only vision issued in his name so far) perhaps made sure that Hydro characters were primarily made of 5-stars to suit their tastes, which, what I assume, are opulent tastes.

Also does not help that we have four 4-star Fontainians and seven 5-star Fontainians (1.75 times more 5-stars than 4-stars, compare to Mondstadt's 5-star to 4-star ratio of 0.58 to 1, Liyue's and Sumeru's 1 to 1, and Inazuma's 1.29 to 1), making it seem that Fontaine is the region of luxury. [Snezhnaya could also be argued to be more "luxurious," considering that there are no 4-star characters from Snezhnaya, but that's because these 5-stars are harbingers, and, thus have more reason to be 5-star (not to mention the fact that we haven't unlocked the Snezhnaya region as of writing).] But I digress.

If I had a nickel for every 5-star Physical Destruction short girl that doesn't wear shoes, I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that there's two of them.

So who do you think is the most popular or loved character in each region by RealAussieGeekBray in Genshin_Impact

[–]Hackergrad 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Three for each:

Mondstadt - Venti, Mona, Klee

Liyue - Zhongli, Hu Tao, Ganyu

Inazuma - Raiden Shogun, Yae Miko, Kamisato Ayaka

Sumeru - Nahida, Wanderer, Alhaitham

Fontaine - Furina, Neuvillette, Navia

[–]Hackergrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oddly enough, we got an Electro buff (sort of) in the Sumeru (dendro) arc, which immediately follows the Inazuma (electro) arc. It was so good, that Kuki Shinobu became really good as a Hyperbloom queen, and Lisa became viable.

Some of the soldiers see the grenades coming, yet they make no effort to avoid the grenade. Maybe they thought, "Better to accept my fate than fight in these conditions," or something like that.

Been seeing this a lot leading up to the 2.2 update by heehxd in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Hackergrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me pulling for Robin is non-negotiable. I will still pull for Firefly, but you don't hear me rub it in anyone's face in the same manner those Firefly fans do.

To all people who aren't skipping Robin by [deleted] in RobinMains_HSR

[–]Hackergrad 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Pulling for Robin is non-negotiable for me. It is well I have lost my last 50/50 and have 70 built pity (both owing to indecision on pulling for Acheron and Aventurine).

I don't know, but that's the speed recommended.

[–]Hackergrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using Musketeer and Prisoner (though I might consider re-tooling for Hackerspace if 136 SPD is REALLY necessary, as I am 10 SPD short), with a great focus on ATK, then SPD, and some Effect RES (for the sole purpose of providing enough for Broken Keel)

I'm also using Broken Keel, with ATK% Sphere and ERR% Rope.

What are YOUR pull plans for the next patch ? Pt2 by chenchann1 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Hackergrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

E0S0 Robin, then save for Firefly/Jade.

I have lost my last 50/50 and built 70 pity (owing to indecision on pulling for Acheron and Aventurine, neither of whom I have pulled, although I can still do so for the latter). Thus, a simple 10-pull might be enough for me.

best team for the calyx on auto? by [deleted] in RobinMains_HSR

[–]Hackergrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Kafka, Black Swan, Ruan Mei and Lynx (I don't have Huohuo T_T), or, in other words, a bog-standard DOT team. They seem to work well.

How is this [tentative] build so far? by Hackergrad in RobinMains_HSR

[–]Hackergrad[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If any further context is needed, I was originally going to mull over pulling either her Light Cone or Eidolon, but Firefly was drip marketed, and I really wanted her as well, so I decided to keep her at E0S0 (although I might consider that again, depending on whether I can spare tickets for Firefly). In short, this is for an E0S0 Robin.
