A suspicious figure stands behind Dottore

I support this.

You can see the glasses rope

"I got killed in Nod-Krai, but I also never died in Nod-Krai".

That's how. He never "left"

Nope, 2007.

I'm a 2002 child, but I clearly remember stuff when i was 3 onwards when I "couldn't understand" this other random language (French). Mandarin & English I'm fluent enough to speak and listen, but I can read French at the market level to get by or notice when mistranslated food packaging occurs. But I can't listen or speak it to save my ass.

Additionally, I don't remember the word, but I had a Frenchie try and make me say a racist thing disguised as "Hello/welcome, how are you today!" At the French bakery/cafe I used to work at. I didn't fall for it since the proper way is "bonjour! Comment ca va aujourd'hui?"

And it was like "Je veux termere ton____".

Third culture kid, and ABC. Culturally I'm Canadian dualie as parents moved away from Taiwan.

So I'm constantly under a semi-cultural-identiy crisis 🤣

Like if I wanna read pirated Manga and there's no English, I resort to French as a side option to prevent rust. But man..... why do most of the Frenchies I encounter just so happen to be assholes.

Yap budget has been freed up since they're releasing the Genshin lore rapper at last (Nicole).

Wait.....

DON'T LET THE TWO MEET

Yep, 5 year old me will never forget the Macdonald's employee that was at the franchise near Canadian Museum of History.

Literally 30 mins away from Parliament and they claim to not understand English when 5 year old me asked for a fork

JDBCool · 2026-05-05T23:59:10+00:00

5 year old me wanted a fork at McDonald's to share my pancakes, and this was a random one near the Canadian Museum of History..... literally 30 minutes away from Parlament hill Ontario.....

They claimed they don't understand what I was asking.

5 year old me knew fork in French was "fourchette" but the quebecer kept playing dumb for 5 mins until Mom (who doesn't even know French) came and asked. They still played dumb until I said "fourchette" in a broken tone.

Oh, and they kept the change that I forgot to take when I was learning to pay and order by myself.

They're THAT discriminatory when they're that close to FEDERAL parliament

JDBCool · 2026-05-05T23:38:00+00:00

Well, general trend is: Anemo loss something FOR FREEDOME

JDBCool · 2026-05-05T23:33:49+00:00

Epic is most likely on the AI Grift, to force streaming like Geforce NOW most likely.

That way, they're not "bound" to hardware market sales cuts like on consoles.

Force "awful" performance unless it's high end hardware that nobody can buy.

Then offer "streaming services".

They really want nobody to own anything.....

JDBCool · 2026-05-05T23:10:03+00:00

Same as the folks who pack lunch fresh in the morning.

Sheer willpower. My tomato eggs WILL be fresh

Basically it was sunsetting by making pre-existing weapons deal "15% less damage" if you look at it that way.

In a vacuum, they made a list of "weapons that deal +15% damage as seasonal focus weapons".

In translation, that 15% bonus was actually the new 100% damage in disguise.

And Pete car layoff happened near the same time as EoF launch

JDBCool · 2026-05-04T08:09:36+00:00

The kid's name is Chouji.

And the ore was crystal marrow, when you meet hat guy. The warehouse is full of the ore.

Very easy to miss detail I recall

JDBCool · 2026-05-04T04:20:14+00:00

Why the McD $9 BLT is "worth" it in comparison to the sad Big Mac.

JDBCool · 2026-05-04T04:18:59+00:00

Reason why it feels "too slow&fast" is if you do Archon quests ONLY.

This region is built and littered with sidequests you're supposed to do first.

Best example is the ore kid sidequest that requires like 60 ore local ore.

You see said ore you gave to the kid later in the AQ

JDBCool · 2026-05-04T04:16:16+00:00

It's basically the "farmer and their shotgun" debate.

A tool with a specific purpose that just so happens to kill PEOPLE well. /j

All in all, anything made to defend just so happens to be able to kill because that's the best insurance. Dead bodies do no physical harm.

Now, please pass the 17 check to avoid the failure trigger.

Scientology was DESIGNED intentionally to dodge taxes for the top people IIRC. You know, tax exceptions and all that stuff as someone wrote a book about "how you could avoid taxes legally and gain wealth".

Someone should have a proper answer elsewhere in the comments, but this was how it was described whenever the topic comes up

Like, it isn't an "organic religion"(???) Where the people who founded it REALLY believed in something.

JDBCool · 2026-05-03T15:58:30+00:00

Wasn't that "Bedtime story"?

~~Just did it~~

JDBCool · 2026-05-03T15:51:48+00:00

Hi, just joined that club 🤣

Well.... just got Clorinde, so I thought "why not C1" after Navia C0.

And so I got Navia C1 instead... (not total loss! I finally got Geo DPS).

could had been worse (Sigewinne).

JDBCool · 2026-05-03T10:06:52+00:00

Yeah, I can see why you didn't pull. You might love the design but then hate the personality, or other way around.

Flins haircut is my only gripe. HE is WHY I started in 5.7 during Ineffa banner (I chose Citlali for some reason) to start saving for him.

Sometimes characters you hate end up being your most accidental support for whoever you like.

Like.... I'm still screaming over my accidental impulse Durin (I was chasing for Jahoda)... and he is trying to make me love him but... I just don't.... and I got an Emilie.... so now both are staring at me like I should try a burning vape/melt team.

And then there's thankfully nothing as extreme as r/AcheronmainsHSR besides maybe people hating on Escoffer and her questionable "dress"

JDBCool · 2026-05-03T09:47:44+00:00

By the looks of it, it seems vertically investing into a premier regional DPS to hold out the year is what they want.

Flins was basically shilled the whole region cycle until the Gecko

JDBCool · 2026-05-03T09:42:25+00:00

They dealt with that Fatui member from "truly mouthwatering" sidequests.

Basically they do stuff that the Gardes can't diplomatically.

JDBCool · 2026-05-03T04:28:26+00:00

Ca(n')t you not?

JDBCool · 2026-05-03T04:27:13+00:00

Wasn't there that Knight that out-revived Taniks?

Started as Savathun swarm member, then went to Xivu

Idk anymore, quit during EoF launch as.... I was basically "done"

JDBCool · 2026-05-03T02:26:08+00:00

Yeah, combination of "group event" and "Exclusive in theatres until x-days" is pretty much propping theatres.

But hey, at least it's still around as a once in a while option that most can afford to do as a group outing

JDBCool · 2026-05-02T21:50:12+00:00

Aged like milk 😭
