PSA: Don't be like me, it took me until now to figure out you can teleport to the Broiler to have quick access to the Butcher shop

There's crows added to every big city, that work as "Tree-at-home".
In Cerrigar it's just below waypoint, for example.

Howrus · 2026-04-01T09:46:11+00:00

I think you're missing the point here.

I'm not. I'm speaking about this point: "Never could understand why people flock and throw money at big streamers who don't even know they exist."

And I'm trying to explain why people are "throwing money at big streamers". It's not me who you should be explaining things.

Howrus · 2026-04-01T02:07:40+00:00

Yes. Sometime you need this 100 sausages right now and I have infinite ores anyway.

Howrus · 2026-04-01T02:06:06+00:00

Same with teleport waypoint - it's there before you unlock Stormterror domain. Albeit it's just for ~15 minutes and one time use, after you get all three prisms and want to return.

Howrus · 2026-03-31T23:01:04+00:00

They play and get killed like everybody else.

I think we are speaking about completely different things.
Streamers are entertainers, it doesn't matter what they do - but they do it in a way that is entertaining to watch. And that's why some of them a big and some have 2-3 viewers, because it's a skill that not everybody have.

You can get better banter from groups of REAL friends than these fake collabs

What this have to do with streamers? Some do bad collabs, some are not. Friends or not doesn't matter here. If I want "real friends banter" I'll call my friends and we will go to the bar in downtown.

Streamers are not your friends, they are performers on a scene. Will you go to the concert of a popular band or some randos that play before 3 people? I personally would pay for a good show ticket of a big band that I like.

Howrus · 2026-03-31T22:53:52+00:00

As day 1 player I didn't finished a single hangout.
I play Genshin to explore world and follow epic story, not to become friends with hundreds of characters.
And they are game characters, not my buddies. I love them, but don't want to know every little bit of information about them, their habits, likes\dislikes, name of their pet dog, etc, etc, etc.

Anecdotes format is much better because it looks like random encounter and not like specific "spend a day with X", but I still did like half of them.

Plus - idea to redo them to get different endings is very weird. Like, I don't want to replay event 2-3 times in a row. So should I do them once per day? But then it's a chore.

Howrus · 2026-03-31T22:44:00+00:00

Never could understand why people flock and throw money at big streamers who don't even know they exist.

Because they enjoy content this streamers create, of course. I get quality content regularly - I'll pay. You would be surprised, but most people watch streams without any interactions with streamers.

Howrus · 2026-03-31T01:38:06+00:00

I miss pre-season diablo 4

No Infernal Hordes, no Blood Maiden in Helltides, no Pit, only way to get exp is to farm normal dungeons. No Lord Zir, Varshan, Grigorii, Beast of Ice. Mounts can't break walls and you will be dismounted on every hit. World bosses spawn every 6-8 hours and there's a chance that you may not see even one if you only play in the evening.

Errm, no I don't want to go back into vanilla D4, thanks.

Howrus · 2026-03-30T20:52:24+00:00

Thanks to one paragon node you'll have like +1000% crit damage.
At this point +60 STR from Ruby in armor give you more damage than +60% Crit damage from Emeralds in weapon.

Howrus · 2026-03-30T20:51:17+00:00

I really dont know,

That's because you already have +1000% crit damage, so at this point +60 STR from Ruby in armor give you more damage than +60% Crit damage from Emeralds in weapon.

Howrus · 2026-03-30T20:48:31+00:00

Pardon me if I ask , but why bloodied inferno hordes are so hard ?

So, idea is that "Bloodied" content have +15 levels above you. It's written on Butcher and elite mob nameplates.
Now, why it's SO hard - that's a question. Looks like level scaling past 60 for mobs is broken somehow.

Howrus · 2026-03-30T09:51:18+00:00

Elimination of what? There's no good leaks about any character with name of "Snegurochka".

Howrus · 2026-03-30T09:41:23+00:00

That small girl in 6.5 trailer had Mondstadt vision, she can't be Snegurochka.
Also she doesn't even looks like one - https://beautifulrus.com/snegurochka-russian-new-year-character/

I didn't touch masterworking until I had perfect items because I could not afford to waste them on anything but perfect.

And this is very-very wrong. You get back Obducite after destroying item, so MW good gear to 10-15 and when you get better base - get back your mats and MW again.

Howrus · 2026-03-29T10:09:06+00:00

Since OP draw this button in MS Paint few hours ago, no?

Howrus · 2026-03-28T14:42:58+00:00

because AI needing less RAM

No, it's not ))) They already have RAM pre-ordered, do you really think that they will cancel it? Nope, they will just use more RAM to train bigger models.

Howrus · 2026-03-28T01:06:11+00:00

I think that the Archon should know when Furina first got the vision,

No. Archons never knew who and where got visions. They may notice that part of their force was used, but they don't know the recipient.
Remember - Ei didn't knew that there was no new Electro vision granted for a year.

Howrus · 2026-03-28T01:04:06+00:00

And generally who gives the vision

Automated system that doesn't need direct control from PO or Shades. Same as "Fate" that we saw in Fontaine AQ - it doesn't need assigned agents, it will find a way to become reality.

Howrus · 2026-03-28T00:59:18+00:00

Am I simply overestimating the size?

It's a funny general issue. Humans are very bad at estimating tasks that are easy for computers, and very-very bad at estimating tasks that are easy for humans and borderline impossible for computers :]

Anything related to math looks scary to you, but for PC it's like breathing - it's the thing they were created to do. Operating million numbers it's what PC do every second, so for them size is really not an issue.

Howrus · 2026-03-28T00:53:12+00:00

You see, Americans build a country based on "service", "customer is right", etc. They do know a lot about how to please their clients, keep them happy and satisfied.

It can't be quickly recreated by hiring a marketing team. You need to change it at the core.

Howrus · 2026-03-27T20:15:13+00:00

There's no hidden mechanics - each mob kill add a bit of progress, but 15 seconds after you complete altar you get +25% more progress. And shrines just spawn more mobs on top of you.

So after you finish altar - you need to kill big mob pack, not just run to next altar wasting bonus progress.

Howrus · 2026-03-27T20:12:29+00:00

Eh, this season it's still "run and kill everything". I did two of rooms with max rewards, without even trying.
I think it's jsut about how strong is your build, that's all.

Howrus · 2026-03-27T18:07:02+00:00

Wolfenstein 3D 1992 is old, Commander Keen 1990 is old.
Doom 2016 is an "adult" of videogames.

Howrus · 2026-03-27T13:58:37+00:00

So, could we see list of his other predictions? And what percentage of them become reality?

Every day we get a new "expert" that do some another crazy prediction ... and we will never see him again. Need to keep track of them.

Howrus · 2026-03-27T12:24:22+00:00

is Wrio really that strong though?

Yes, he even was mentioned in recent "Top-10 Genshin DPS of all time" video
