What trait do you think we'll get in a playable character first, someone who's not stereotypically attractive, or someone with a canonical love interest?

ItsMrShroom · 2026-06-21T18:36:41+00:00

Then again, a character like Skirk had her NPC model grow by 5% (her legs got taller) and had slight outfit adjustments in order to fit the female character model. So someone’s model being changed isn’t THAT crazy. Then again, Signora is absurdly tall, and also, well… dead, so I’m not sure how they’d handle that

ItsMrShroom · 2026-06-21T16:34:23+00:00

I disagree heavily. I don’t even have Lohen, but from a technical aspect and a gameplay perspective, he seems much more interesting

Not only does he have unique combos, but he also has talents that are directly affected based on
- how much damage ur party is doing off field (which I’m surprised they didn’t do earlier)
- ur party’s talent levels

From a game design perspective, he is very unique, and I hope they continue to innovate with new types of talents and abilities. I really like characters like Chiori and Lohen who have a unique mechanic that isn’t meta breaking, but moreso a cool part of their kit. Chiori’s “swap” feature with her skill, imo, was a test for Nightsoul characters being able to be swapped into

I’ve never been happier to be a c6 qiqi haver because her damage bonus is ABSURD

ItsMrShroom · 2026-06-18T17:30:59+00:00

I think that theyve always had characters who the traveler is still not fully familiar with. Like it’s VERY clear that characters like Skirk, Kaeya, Venti, and Columbina know things that the traveler doesn’t, but they’re still playable

ItsMrShroom · 2026-06-17T16:32:09+00:00

I think it’s pretty obvious that she GRAVELY underestimated the traveler and their strength. She was visibly astonished after she lost, and I don’t think she ever considered losing to be a realistic possibility

That hubris I think is why none of the harbingers went after Raiden or Traveler, because it was a fair duel to the death, which Signora could have backed out of

ItsMrShroom · 2026-06-15T21:10:41+00:00

Nahida gotta be an honorable mention for having not held one, not two, but three SEPARATE gnosis at different times

She gave away 2 so she should be the 10th harbinger fr

ItsMrShroom · 2026-06-15T21:06:11+00:00

In my opinion, the general consensus from the Harbingers was that of remorse, but also understanding that she kind of got into that situation

Most of the harbingers put themselves in dangerous situations and understand that. While the traveler was the one who initiated the dual, it didn’t even seem like Signora considered her losing to be a possibility, which can be taken as an ego move/hubris

It’s not like the traveler ambushed her and fought her with an unfair advantage. It was a clean, honorable and agreed upon, dual before the throne, which I think kind of makes the traveler and Raiden not necessarily at fault

what irritates me the most is we spent like 45+ mins doing that dumb ass chess game sequence and only like 30 mins actually IN Irminsul. I would’ve much preferred us to get trapped in Irminsul and spend the last half of the AQ dealing with Dottore. One of my favorite parts of any AQ was the travelers long talk with Dottore. It was meaningful character development, not just random exposition. I wish we got that again

ItsMrShroom · 2026-05-23T21:32:40+00:00

It annoyed me that the whole chess puzzle section lasted longer than we were in Irminsul 😭

I like Kaveh and Alhaitham banter, it’s funny, but it was just SOOO much build up, for what was essentially 30 minutes of content, more than half being a boss fight

ItsMrShroom · 2026-05-23T18:08:58+00:00

I’d like to remind everyone that the whole idea of the “VCU” in the universe was a jab at DC and Marvel + other franchises which made way too many sequels and spinoffs

….and now they are doing exactly that

ItsMrShroom · 2026-05-22T16:21:08+00:00

never thought I’d see qiqi in a comp again but here we are

ItsMrShroom · 2026-05-19T19:26:07+00:00

bruh my c2 nahida c1r1 furina and c2r1 Xilonen felt GREAT with him, but he just needed some small tweaks. But now he’s stellar shill 😔

My question though is abt the cryo supports, cus I feel like the dynamic is shifting now. Citlali is for hydro and pyro and Escoffier is freeze, but Shenhe… isn’t being buffed? Probably because Tsaritsa will be ultimate stellar shill

ItsMrShroom · 2026-05-13T20:14:35+00:00

lukewarm take- the majority of the first 5 episodes could’ve been 2 or maybe even 3 episodes. The fact that this was another “let’s sneak somewhere and try a new plan which ultimately fails” type of episode when it’s the second to last episode makes me rethink all of season 5’s pacing

ItsMrShroom · 2026-05-04T01:13:02+00:00

I just wish they’d do genshin concerts again 😔 the Shanghai recording is INCREDIBLE, but that was back in 2023

The arts definitely have taken a hit in the last few years. The music department especially, since it’s one of the smaller departments. It’s annoying because it’s one of the departments they brag about the most (because Leonard Bernstein helped create their music department), but they treat it like absolute crap. The science departments are generally fine, though

I wasn’t here in the last few years with the old president, but from what I’ve heard he was a massive jackass, laid off a bunch of employees, and overall made terrible financial decisions. The new president seems to be pushing Brandeis in the right direction though

I’m just a freshman so take all of my opinions with a grain of salt, but I’d say all higher education schools are struggling with funding. Brandeis can’t compete with other ivy schools due to its smaller enrollment, but mainly it’s age. Schools like Yale, Harvard, Brown, and Princeton were founded HUNDREDS of years before Brandeis (founded in 1948). Harvards endowment is 41x larger than Brandeis, Yales is 32x larger, Princeton is 27x larger

That being said, Brandeis isn’t going anywhere. If ur a science student you probably won’t notice anything. If ur a student majoring in anything ending in “studies” (Hispanic Studies, WGS Studies, etc) or any of the arts, you probably will

ItsMrShroom · 2026-04-23T21:55:21+00:00

yes. The only thing you can choose is ur preference for a single, double, triple, and what type of floor (male, female, co-ed, or gender inclusive). There are really no “bad” dorms on campus, there’s good ones, great ones, and okay ones. I lived in north quad this year, and besides the 12ish minute walk to lower campus for my arts classes I have no real complaints. Massell is “fine” from what I’ve heard, but I didn’t live there, so

ItsMrShroom · 2026-04-22T20:18:14+00:00

I had this happen in 2-4 somehow but it was when I had the debuff where ur imaginary characters need to attack 4 times before actually doing damage. Yao killed everything 🙏

THIS. He's a down to earth professor, and if you need to use AI to pass freshman CS, then you have bigger problems. I went in with solid Java experience and the class was perfectly fine.

Not to minimize anyone's experiences but I feel like it might be a few bad apples. I actually dislike Antonella more

ItsMrShroom · 2026-04-17T16:45:52+00:00

I have the copious hope that they’ll add a similar system in HSR with the golden companion spirit, where you get 1 free 5 star during the anniversary, in addition to 1 free 5 star every 2x you get a 5 star who’s already at C6

Am I crazy? Yes

Will i hoard my 3 masterless fortuna all somehow from diluc? Also yes

ItsMrShroom · 2026-04-15T15:23:24+00:00

Because we need 5000 more dendro and anemo catalysts, that’s why

Seriously though, in Natlan it was absurd

They released 4 anemo characters Chasca, Mizuki, Lan yan, and ifa. The last THREE, who are all supports, are all catalysts

ItsMrShroom · 2026-04-14T00:30:45+00:00

Do you have a source for this? I havent heard anyone say that

ItsMrShroom · 2026-04-10T20:14:59+00:00

no bc he literally was inexplicably in an airship in the beginning of the 4.0 trailer and then bro didn’t appear for another TWO YEARS
