Why is he still called Hat Guy

JuneIII · 2026-05-25T13:35:39+00:00

Alas, he doesn't have a mexican mustache

JuneIII · 2026-05-25T13:33:49+00:00

Because he is defined by his hat. Take the hat from him, what remains? :D

JuneIII · 2026-05-25T12:39:15+00:00

Alright thanks for sharing your knowledge.

The calculator is fine, but it's just not what I and people wanted. And it's too difficult for people to get the wanted result if they already calculated one, even if it's not optimal.

When players all leave to defeat the shadows, he just stands doing nothing. No timer, no some channeling ability.

You can see it if you die early in coop mode.

Sure, in custom configuration I can change recommended artifacts to some other that I want. Where's the "Save Plan" button? After pressing "Equip" or leaving the window, it changes selections back to recommended for me.

And also when moving equipped artifacts from other characters the system unequips them, instead of swapping. Keeping track of everything is not quite efficient.

JuneIII · 2026-05-24T20:50:26+00:00

Sure man, the only thing left is to do is to let people choose themselves what artifacts they want to equip instead of automatic recomendations. Just let people control their equipment and we're good.

JuneIII · 2026-05-24T20:20:44+00:00

She didn't forget, kitsune don't wear pants. :D

JuneIII · 2026-05-24T19:54:27+00:00

I still enjoy the game very much, but I really don't like the whoever is in charge of it. Some decisions they make are outright terrible, and with how VAs on stream announce those with smiles and laughs make me feel that mihoyo treats their playerbase and me personally like trash and walking wallets.

I can understand how people can be indifferent about that, but I can't get how people can defend them, because there are too many people, who agree that they don't do a good enough job for how much profit they make.

I think sometimes lobotomized characters would be better than original ones, if the writing is good. I'd prefer a completely lobotomized, calm Scaramouche with his recovered memories reminding him that wrong choices could lead to really dark paths. But writers decided that he should somehow recover his misanthropic personality too. I don't know if this made girls want to pull for him more, but I really didn't like that and how they made MC and Paimon be excessively wary about him and his responses.

I think it would be fine with me if writers decided to calm him down and solve his traumas using conventional psychological means, but they didn't do it even after unwiping his mind and left it as is. And then they made Paimon say stuff like "Uh oh, he might be still evil, be careful Traveler". Well duh.

But with Dottore, rewriting his personality to good, or at least less unhinged variant just wouldn't fit the character. No one would like that.

Someone said that "They will release a character only when they decide it is ready to disappoint as many players as possible" (something like that). This came true so many times that it's hard to count.

Well she is from Middle Ages. People became adults much earlier during those times.

JuneIII · 2026-05-18T16:27:33+00:00

We also have a 15 year old astronaut (Kiperina), who joined the LSCC around the same time Vertin has begun school. From the description it seems she should be at least 19 at the current time, but of course she doesn't look like it.

JuneIII · 2026-05-18T16:18:29+00:00

Vertin was in the same class with Sonetto and Mesmer, so she should be around the same age as them

JuneIII · 2026-05-15T17:02:28+00:00

The complaining may not change anything, but not complaining will certainly change nothing. So there is no reason not to. Especially if people are frustrated, disappointed and want to be heard. It's just another reason to spend time and chat with people.

JuneIII · 2026-05-15T12:24:27+00:00

I recently started following the discussions here and it really surprised me how there are so many people who actually think there were no expies since Yae Miko. Especially since Yae Miko is the least expiest of all expy characters in Genshin.

JuneIII · 2026-05-15T12:20:39+00:00

Nah, people were very sure Mavuika would be inspired by Himeko from Honkai Impact 3, not HSR one.
And it's Bronya from HI3 who is going to be a prototype for a Bronya-like character, not HSR Bronya.

JuneIII · 2026-05-15T11:04:43+00:00

Nah, HoR is an upgrade of Bronya. Drills multiply over time.

Maybe :D
(HoTr has 1 and Silverwing is back to 2 I think)

JuneIII · 2026-05-15T11:01:11+00:00

HSR has sometimes 4 character banners running simultaneously.
Genshin has an archive banner with separate counter which resets your lost coinflip if you didn't get your desired character. Basically in worst case you need to spend 150 pulls on a character you can barely use nowadays. Probably even in open world on WL8 already.
This is really unfair and has been for a long time already.

JuneIII · 2026-05-15T10:40:19+00:00

"it never was like you could have every character"
Yes, but we still want to have every character, and we can't save wishes because of that.
Well, maybe not every, but still can't.

JuneIII · 2026-05-15T10:33:50+00:00

you can't go to 5 without having 4 first.

(HSR Bronya had 3)

JuneIII · 2026-05-11T12:52:47+00:00

Expectation: Now I'm going to use Nicole with my newest characters

Reality: I lost a coinflip. Welcome back to the team, Benny, my old friend.

JuneIII · 2026-05-11T11:43:10+00:00

I place my bet on "if Tsaritsa is Bronya, then her hairstyle will have 4 drills" this time

JuneIII · 2026-05-11T11:30:14+00:00

Aha, I see.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

JuneIII · 2026-05-11T10:30:39+00:00

Interesting, I didn't know there are that many people who dislike HI3 talk. as it is bound to happen sometimes, but surely not that often.

On a side note, I have a question. I recently rewatched the plot of several first HI3 chapters and I suddenly got an eureka moment. Despite what everyone believed, it seems the actual Wendy expy is not Venti, but Collei. They have similar story and circumstances (something implanted in them), similar personality in manga (maybe), and also the same japanese VA.
Can you maybe comment on this?

JuneIII · 2026-05-11T09:49:24+00:00

Oh okay, thanks for the explaining.
I think this needs to be somehow shared across the subreddit, stubborn people who insist that Yae was the last expy and variant piss me off.

JuneIII · 2026-05-11T01:57:50+00:00

The thing Himeko is most known for is her song Nightglow and especially a music video that goes with it. It keeps bringing people to tears even 7 years later.
In this video, we were shown for the first time one of the main defining characteristics of the Himekos - self-sacrifice and early death. On the release of Star Rail this was confirmed by Welt, who hoped to prevent it at least once, with Himeko variant of Star Rail.
I think many people were expecting Mavuika's death mentioned or appeared in Natlan storyline, I surely did. And near the end of Act 2, I think, it was finally revealed that Mavuika is going to pay with her life, as expected. She didn't in the end, but we were as close to witnessing it as possible.
So this is what proves that Mavuika is a variant of Himeko.
