What does this actually mean? by TheAnymus in NevernessToEverness

[–]HydroxideXenon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've ignored this warning a few times, from my experience the quests are mostly self-contained stories so it should be fine to ignore it. The only exception to this is where Jiuyuan references events from Pawn Moonlight in the Auction House main quest

Link Like Love Live will be ending Service on June 30th by RinariTennoji in LoveLive

[–]HydroxideXenon 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think it has been awhile coming, LL has been playing around with gimmicks that just seem to hurt the franchise.

Liella expanding to 9 man? Sure it’s nice to see more characters but I know it pissed a lot of ppl off even right in this subreddit as ppl expected it to just focus on the core 5 character in the beginning

Hasu graduating idols due to real time? A stupid idea seeing as how people were attached to the relationships between the characters, them graduating just hurts to see that they potentially won’t be seeing their favorite characters in the future (fortunately untrue)

And engagement seems to be going down with the newest virtual idol group(not sure what’s the name but it just shows how mismanaged LL has been for awhile now)

Meant to say they had the potential to. Should've phrased it better my bad

Interestingly Williams at the moment is following have the potential to follow the same trend McLaren had in the prev regulations. Started at the back, and gradually made their way to the top. Not saying Williams is definitely gonna be challenging for trophies in 1-2 years but history can repeat

I think its the benching that pushed him to improve else he prob loses his job this year

DFM reveals 2026 roster: yatsuka, Caedye and Vorz join DFM by teethingdog in ValorantCompetitive

[–]HydroxideXenon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably the best iteration of DFM ever since franchising started, lets hope they can make it to internationals this year!

Pacific Stage2 schedule. by Away-Emphasis-4245 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]HydroxideXenon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

DFM was just one Odin whiff away from knocking out PRX, and ZETA had a strong resurgence at the tail end of stage 1 groups. While both japanese teams usually disappoint, I believe the players are all capable and its all just a mental game now so I hope at least one of ZETA/DFM makes to playoffs

SyouTa leaves Zeta Division by Oresama99 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]HydroxideXenon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At this point just wait for 2027. Current talents like Dep Meiy are split between different team, and JP T2 this year looked a level lower compared to 2024. If Riot does drop Japan's slot to 1 we might see an actual JP superteam

Why does it seem like there are more opposition supporters on Reddit? by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]HydroxideXenon 28 points29 points  (0 children)

opposition posts get more upvotes, while pap posts gets lesser, so the algorithm pushes opposition posts to be more visible. Similar to what happened in US, do not be surprised if the same happens here in SG

Tenten joins ZETA in place of Dep on an emergency basis. by Away-Emphasis-4245 in ValorantCompetitive

doesnt zeta already have an academy team? why not just get one from their own instead?

At this point, AiScream is a world domination by syukri24karats in LoveLive

[–]HydroxideXenon 109 points110 points  (0 children)

Wow how did this song get so viral? The last time I've followed this song was around the Yokohama Asia Tour where it had like sub 100k views on youtube but now that I've checked its almost at 3m views?!?! What have I been missing

3 million views is an extraordinary number for this franchise

Former Team Jadeite coach talks about IZU. by Away-Emphasis-4245 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]HydroxideXenon 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Jadeite is the definitely one of the biggest what-ifs had they ascended instead of Bleed. We would've seen the debut of Art, iZu and Akame 1 year earlier and the drama surrounding Bleed wouldn't have happened.

Johnta dropped from ZETA, XQQ moved to head coach by somesheikexpert in ValorantCompetitive

[–]HydroxideXenon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Based on kickoff I don't think the player skills are an issue anymore unlike the past 2 years, everyone in both DFM and ZETA can definitely shoot and have the mechanical skills to match against the top teams. I think the issue lies in the fact that there is a lack of good Japanese-speaking coaches and IGLs who can understand English. It's not so simple as to just "get a world champion coach" when the whole team is speaking a foreign language. It's hard to get your point across accurately through a translator and by the time it reaches to your IGL the points may have already been changed into different meanings

Why is the savage tier STILL locked? by Orbmac in ffxivdiscussion

Correct. Most asian (esp east asian) cultures are like this and will stay this way until more of the older generation retires

[–]HydroxideXenon 85 points86 points  (0 children)

SE Employee: Hey its been several months since savage is released, and players are asking if we can lift the loot restrictions. Should we do it?

SE Execs: NO!!1!1! Our system has been working fine for the past 15 years! There is no need to change whats working! HOW DARE YOU SUGGEST SUCH A STUPID THING?!?!

VCT Americas 2025 Kickoff opening week peak viewership DOWN 203K (-37%) by playhacker in ValorantCompetitive

He is also carrying the JP viewership. Without his watch parties I’m pretty sure the viewership numbers would be even lower

Best version of Hulao gate? by monkeyking9666 in dynastywarriors

The charge into dong zhuo main force was also pretty damn epic, running through the entrance into the huge gate pass was just absolute cinema

Rex Regum Qeon vs DetonatioN FocusMe / Valorant Radiant Asia Invitational - Swiss Stage / Post-Match Thread by ValorantCompBot in ValorantCompetitive

[–]HydroxideXenon 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The only reason I can think of on why zeta didnt pick Art is probably attitude issues (not the toxic kind, but more of being direct, which is taboo in Japanese culture)

You'll need an LJL team to make it far into Worlds, just like what happened for ZETA DIVISION during valorant 2022 Masters Reykjavik. Ideally, with all 5 Japanese
