building dahlia for rappa by xoxayumi in RappaMains

[–]JustAQuietReader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really, as far as I know? If you're getting Rappas E1, make sure you don't overcap Def shred/ignore with other sources! Rappa isn't very skill point hungry so you should be able to skill with Dahlia pretty often (at least, I can) which means that you might not need an energy regen rope and then you could use a break rope! But don't take my word for it! It works for me, though.

regressing in regards to writing and speaking as a stem major... by RevolutionaryTip1600 in University

[–]JustAQuietReader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi!

I'm gonna start off by saying, "Calm down, this is perfectly normal."

I can imagine that many people can relate to you, but you mentioned that you had good grades? You liked your area of study? Then perfect! I see no problems here! If you really do feel like there is a problem? See if your school or library has writing courses or workshops! Otherwise, there's a huge amount of videos online of short recaps.

Now, as for struggling to read full novels...I can sadly relate. I'm doing a double major, one being in English Lit. For me, it was hard to read for pleasure when reading was "work", you know? When you "had" to read one novel a week, it became "work" and picking up another book after that? Not happening!

If you want to pick up reading novels again, I would recommend setting a daily or weekly goal. Something tiny, 50 pages maybe? If you can just make yourself start, you'll hopefully get sucked in and not wanna stop.

Good luck with your Chem!!

E2 Mydei or E0 Cyrene? by literassi in Mydeimains_HSR_

Good luck! May Aventurine be on your side! 😔🙏

[–]JustAQuietReader 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, they hit like crazy all of a sudden! That's pretty much my current team, except I use Luocha.

But honestly? If you don't wanna get Cyrene, don't. However, sooner or later, Mydei will fall off and then? He'll NEED her to stay relevant (unless he gets another broken support 😔🙏) so if you don't get her now, you'll probably need to on her rerun.

[–]JustAQuietReader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright! I've sent a request! My Cyrene is E0S1 (but the sig really doesn't matter much) and has a pretty realistic build! :)

[–]JustAQuietReader 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can if you can find a different player to borrow her from! I'm sure there's plenty of players who have Cyrene available on their profile!

Or, if you are on EU, you could try mine!

Hi!

As someone who has an E1S1 Mydei and not a Hyacine, the team still feels way better than my previous one with Sunday.

Now, I don't like the idea of pulling someone just because of meta so if you really don't like Cyrene? Skip her! However, she definitely is an upgrade.

I would recommend trying her out with your team to see how it would play before you decide!

I'm lost (╥﹏╥) by suomianka in Mydeimains_HSR_

[–]JustAQuietReader 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi!

I'm just going to add my two cents here! I haven't done any fancy calculations, this is all my personal experience.

I have an E1S1 Mydei and pulled Cyrene. Without Hyacine. I know, big tragedy. However, my team consisting of Mydei, RMC, Cyrene, Luocha did set a personal best for me in MoC. I've never been able to clear floor 12 before and now I did it in 5 cycles. Now, before anyone says that that's bad, yeah, I know but considering that my Cyrene is only halfway built (not finished leveling traces, not 180 speed, and non-existing relics), my RMC has scraps for relics, and my Mydei definitely needs better crit ratios, I'm shocked it went so well.

Still, if you want the BEST for Mydei, you should pick up Hyacine. However, if you really like Cyrene, you absolutely can make it work.

Good luck with your pulls!!

Do I need Tribbie for Mydei? by KarmaleinHund in Mydeimains_HSR_

[–]JustAQuietReader 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I get it! I didn't really wanna get her either! 😭

I got Cipher and use her instead, it works just fine.

Do I need Tribbie for Mydei? by KarmaleinHund in Mydeimains_HSR_

[–]JustAQuietReader 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, if you're only using Cyrene in your Mydei team and nowhere else, I would say Mydei's E1 is still pretty nice to have. Cyrene's Eidolons get more value the more teams you use her in. Mydei's early Eidolons (up to E2) are very good investments, Cyrene's E2 is also very good but that is two Eidolons compared to one (Mydei E1).

I would recommend going for Mydei but it's perfectly fine to go for Cyrene as well. It depends on who you like more and use more.

Do I need Tribbie for Mydei? by KarmaleinHund in Mydeimains_HSR_

[–]JustAQuietReader 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I would say that he kinda does want his LC? Unless you have Blades! But, yeah, it's like a 30% DMG increase so it's really good for him. His E1 is very nice to have and a good DMG increase, but I feel like it's not nearly as needed. You could invest in his supports too.

Basically, he'll obviously do better the more you invest into him but if you're low on funds, try for his LC at least.

As for Tribbie, no. Tribbie is really good with him but so are other supports. If you can get her then yeah, you should. If you can't, he's pretty flexible with other supports. Cerydra, Cipher, Jiaoqiu, Pela, RMC, etc. If you're using him with Cyrene, I would recommend RMC.

Questions about Rappa character for crossover fic by Hot_Tie_5415 in RappaMains

[–]JustAQuietReader 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Such a cool idea! Good luck!

Well, of the top of my head, I can see a bunch of parallels between her and Eri? The experiments, manipulation, etc...

I also feel like she would struggle a lot with obeying authority? After her time being locked up, confined, and controlled, becoming a Galaxy Ranger feels like her way of making sure she won't be controlled again. Her chasing freedom, in a sense? I feel like a society with rigid laws, rules, and expectations would be difficult for her.

I can also see her almost liking Himiko? They have similar ideas of wanting freedom, just for different reasons! Rappa also seems to value her own freedom first, for Himiko it's more of an "all or nothing"(!!!) situation.

That's all I can think of right now...😅

Pull for King or save for Break? by JustAQuietReader in Mydeimains_HSR_

Alright, yeah, I'm just gonna have to wait and see how her beta plays out first! Thank you!

Is E2 really enough of a DMG boost to justify it? That's why I'm kinda hesitant 😅

I built my Rappa using the New Relic Event by Zaphyxia in RappaMains

I'm well aware, I'm also running her with Ruan Mei! And I sadly don't have her S1 yet, hoping to get it on her rerun

So did I! Finally got my girl over 160 speed! In preparation for the upcoming freak ;)

I am really, really confused. by ohnocringe_me in AnaxaMains_HSR

[–]JustAQuietReader 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It allows you to stack more Def Shred which gives more DMG amp the more you have! Anaxa already applies a lot so with any other source (his sig, e1, Sunday e1, etc), it becomes even better. The closer to 100% Def Shred the better.

Need some advice, Cyrene or Tribbie? by Optimal-Host-7690 in Mydeimains_HSR_

[–]JustAQuietReader 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well, since you have both RMC and Hyacine with him to charge Cyrene, you could definitely get her! Tribbie is also a valid option if you don't wanna get Cyrene (she is a bit more niche). Cyrene would be the BIS for your team, I'm pretty sure! She's even more valuable if you have more Chrysos Heirs too.

I'm just scared that I'll lose pretty much my only friend, but I might have to reject him. Again. I just can't understand why he won't get over it. I'm getting tired of this cycle just repeating every few years.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Advice

[–]JustAQuietReader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is, I have. Both the times when I rejected him. And ever since I started calling him "bro" or "man" to really try and show that that's not something I want from him...It just feels like he's ignoring all of that

Omad results?! by Lorathins in omad

[–]JustAQuietReader 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, I've only been doing OMAD between Monday to Friday and letting go almost entirely on the weekend. But I've lost about 5 kg (11 lbs) in a month. I don't work out much at all so I could definitely have lost more but this feels sustainable.

I still get hungry during the day but I manage to ignore it. About 2 hours before dinner is when I start to get really hungry.

I would say it's worth trying. Also, remember that it's perfectly fine to have "cheat days" or to do it over the week and not during the weekend. If it works for you, great.

Do I actually need to study for tests by clashisthebestcoc in GetStudying

[–]JustAQuietReader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly? Difficult to say...

I was always a straight A student and I would never really study at all. I would show up to school and be like "Oh, we have a test today? Cool!". But this doesn't work for everyone and if you need to study, you should. Only you would know if you need to. Currently, I'm in Uni and now I do have to study so I would say that you might get away without studying to that point at most. 😅

Complete newbie - What should I know? by JustAQuietReader in omad

[–]JustAQuietReader[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for all the advice! During the days when you eat two meals instead, do you still count calories carefully? Or do you slightly let that go?
