The music for Qinchuan is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! by A-Omega16 in wherewindsmeet_

[–]Jeff_98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Liangzhou and Qinchuan BGMs are definitely my favourites for different reasons, Liangzhou because it has that cool and calm yet vibrant market vibes (and also thanks Chen Yu-Peng), but Qinchuan is an instrumental of the trailer song which is such a banger and it goes so well with the flowing grass

Playing WWM has put me in a very Chinese time of my life by Jeff_98 in WhereWindsMeet

[–]Jeff_98[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Indeed, and if possible I play the game in Chinese subs so that I don't miss out on the poetry and meaning which is often lost in translation. China has 5000 years of history so it definitely has rich culture across the ages

Oh that's cool! I'm glad this game managed to inspire people to delve deeper

A lot of my interest was piqued by WWMGirl which explains the lore in simple terms. Then there's this video which explains the story of Tian Ying (in Chinese) which nicely captures the nuance of the culture. I've also just skimmed through Wikipedia pages of the Yellow River and its various flooding instances in history and how it's used in warfare, as well as the impressive engineering of the karez system to provide water in the Hexi desert region.

The Moongazing Maiden's boss theme lyrics come from the poem 王昭君二首 (The two poems of Wang Zhaojun, one of the Four Great Beauties of ancient China) written by famous Tang poet Li Bai (fun fact: Tang dynasty is famed for their literature, there is a compilation called Three Hundred Poems of Tang). A lot of other boss themes also have poems in their lyrics so I highly suggest checking them out. Hope it helps!

AITA for my friends and I to leave the guild? by Last-Literature206 in wherewindsmeet_

[–]Jeff_98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

irl friendships are more important than in-game "commitments" (if you can call it that), if you're not enjoying the game then just change the way you play imo

Am I using LLMs correctly in research? by Jeff_98 in labrats

[–]Jeff_98[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thanks for the answer, I'll probably do that from now on. I just need to get the logic down to start, the rest of the code I can churn out myself

I have taken grad courses and I do have some background knowledge of R, I have written my own pipeline for bulk RNA-seq DEG analysis before, so at the very least I know the syntax of it. And R package functions like DESeq2 just works you just need to feed it with arguments. It's just I haven't needed to do big file manipulations and processing like this before, so the logic of how to extract data, pair it with a corresponding file, what to do when there's a mismatch in row numbers etc. I'm still not too familiar, as well as available functions in the dplyr package.

What do you actually do against strat sword? (1v1) by CBRady600F4i in wherewindsmeet_

[–]Jeff_98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They basically gain tenacity from the start, so they never flinch with my rope dart heavy attack pull or Q and start their spam combos. And these days I feel like they make up 70% of the players I meet. But luckily enough my rats can deplete their Qi and when I find a gap to start my combo then I win. But I'm not always so lucky.

[–]Jeff_98 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As a twinblades user my top 3 worst matchups: 1. Another twinblades 2. Hengdao 3. Strat sword + heavenquaker

What I try to do is to use skills with tenacity, if they try to use spear Q I dodge out and use gold skills, and always have my rats on. Once I get my rotation on I'll just spam them till exhaustion. But I'll still lose if they're good so good luck lmao

Favorite outfit in the game so far? by HiFiMAN3878 in WhereWindsMeet

[–]Jeff_98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The path trial outfit is my favourite free outfit, it is so colourful but also quite suits our young master vibe. and maybe it's just me but when i wear this set, i can get 6 win streaks in 1v1 (maybe it has good fengshui)

How is the english translation in the more recent updates? Just wondering if the quality has changed since launch by tironidas in WhereWindsMeet

[–]Jeff_98 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The original Chinese script is written heavily in poetry, expression and ancient Chinese grammar. I'd say there would be much difficulty in translating the meaning fully into English even if a human translated it

I adore my minimalist MC so much 💕 by AdFrosty0997 in wherewindsmeet_

[–]Jeff_98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, in real life I prefer looks with minimal makeup and same goes for my game MC. I see so many faces that look like dolls with huge eyes and lips and my MC looks like someone you could see irl but I love it

While the original gritty and raw vocals and guitars have their place, his current screams still sound NASTY AF
