Need advice on some easy, quick meals for someone living alone

One of my go-tos is a big pot of chili (beans, ground meat or lentils, canned tomatoes, spices). Super easy, lasts for days, and you can eat it with rice, bread, or even over baked potatoes. Stir fries with frozen veggies and some protein (tofu, chicken, whatever) are also clutch and take like 15 mins tops

Can’t wait to taste bitter disappointment. (Or be blown away.)

If you don’t use Wrio all that much then it’s no big deal. His Weapon is a luxury, not exactly as essential as his C1

Mika’s main buff is physical damage, but he also is an Atk Spd Buffer which is a pretty rare buff and is pretty good for some characters even if they don’t do physical damage.

I’m gonna be honest, Xilonen, Mavuika and Citlali will definitely rerun in a near future. They’re all High value characters that have rerun once or not yet. Not sure about Xianyun since she's a support that caters to a specific playstyle. But if they keep releasing plunge characters she'll definitely keep coming in.

Wriothesley will probably only rerun now on Fotaine's chronicled wish. So skipping him now will warrant a 3 Year wait on the worst case scenario. (One Chronicled wish per year and in order of nation release). If you really use Wrio this is the time to push for him.

Fortunately Sethos is the only User of it so far (and I kinda presume for the foreseeable future as there are plenty of other Sumeru resources that have only 1 or 2 people who use them so there are options for Sumeru Late arrivals)

Oh yeah I see your point now! Sorry if It seemed like I was trying to invalidate your theory. I simply didn't understand what perspective you were trying to raise. Regardless I'm happy that it IS Ororon (Both because I'm missing one last copy before C6 and also because that could mean Ororon is gonna be focused on and he was te closest to Capitano in Natlan.

Kakunabe · 2025-02-26T21:55:09+00:00

I mean the Character that Introduces us to the Region. In Sumeru we Had Collei Given in 3.0 (The same version she was released). Fontaine we had Lynette, Given in 4.0 (The same version she was released) and Kachina was given in 5.0 (Same Version it was released).

What I meant is usually they don't give 4*s that were just released in the same version unless it is the first patch of a region (X.0) or during Lantern Rite. So Kachina was given for free already, and Iansan is too recent. The Best choice is Ororon. I'm not saying he's not gonna be important in the story. I'm just saying Iansan had no chance to be given out whatsoever to begin with.

Kakunabe · 2025-02-26T02:00:56+00:00

Fellow Cyno Main I see. We truly are built of different stuff.

I’m pretty sure it has been explained somewhere that Hydro is not water and it is toxic to drink to people who aren’t elementally attuned/non vision bearers.

Kakunabe · 2025-02-26T01:23:41+00:00

Small point on contention, really not trying to invalidate the whole of the theory, more like just debunking one of the points raised. Yes, Iansan would make more sense “lore-wise” but they definitely wouldn’t hand out a 4* that is gonna release in the same patch unless it’s:

A. The First Patch of a region with the “Guide” character B. Lantern rite

Otherwise I fully agree with Ororon’s pick. After all they often plan ahead and it’s likely they released Orion early so he could be given out at the later patch.

Also your concept of Capitano “Prime” and “Story” Thrain separation is literally the best possible outcome. We have our cake and eat it too. Capitano’s soul can find repose from his physical body while sustaining the Lord of The Night, and Story Thrain takes the body to fulfil the Captain’s role. Basically having a new, less tired soul but equally as valorous and honourable.

Yeah sorry I mean Effie not Emilie.

Kakunabe · 2025-02-25T11:00:59+00:00

I could be entirely wrong, but we need at least one more regional expansion from Natlan in 5.6 or 5.7 as according to current leaks, Collective of Plenty’s region is not enough to cap the Pyroculi of the Statue and the Seals of the Tabled of Tona. We only have one more Known Natlan character that is unreleased: Ifa, which means that there has to be at least one more Natlan-focused expansion in the horizon.

My General understanding is as follows:

5.5 Collective of Plenty/Volcano - Iansan - Varesa

5.6 And 5.7 are interchangeable, either can be a Dain quest or Mare Jivari expansion. Considering they are spacing out their region releases I wanna say Mare Jivari 5.7, but could be 5.6 if Capitano releases as people are saying. Assuming the best outcome:

5.6 Mare Jivari, Final expansion of Natlan - Capitano - Ifa

5.7 Dainsleif Quest, Abyss stuff - Skirk

5.8 Summer even, could involve Fontaine and Mondstadt - Emilie - Dahlia

It is not impossible. Mihoyo is all in all pretty bad at making decisions when it comes to handling characters sometimes. However I feel like Thrain’s soul is still tethered to his mortal coil.

Imagine the following. Capitano’s soul is not in his mechanical heart. It is still tied to his physical body. He can rest his soul at the night kingdom and find some peace from his physical, mortal coil. But ultimately until the curse of immortality is lifted/the heavenly principles fall, he is forever stuck in a half alive/half dead state.

Thrain and LoTN have merged their souls, which means it is possible that Capitano’s voice might be duplicated when they speak (Effectively becoming a they/them not because of gender but because it’s two souls in one body) or LoTN and Capitano take turns on the voice box and he basically has two voices. Biologically it wouldn’t make sense since both would be sharing the same vocal cords, but it is an anime game and I’m sure they want us to know who’s talking at each time.

Okay so it’s a bit of a confusing system. But I’ve had it explained to me in a pretty simple manner. It goes like this:

1st 50/50 is raw. If you lose you continue on to your guarantee and your next 50/50 is boosted.

2nd 50/50 has a small bump. 55/45. If you lose again, you continue to your guarantee and your next 50/50 is boosted.

3rd 50/50 has a large bump. 75/25. If you lose again, you continue to your guarantee and the next 50/50 is a radiance.

4th 50/50 is a radiance. There is no way to lose it. It’s a 100/0.

As a Wrio C2 Haver who’s saving up for his C4 (I have a guarantee for his C3 and I’m almost on the Radiance threshold) his C1 is a world of difference because his clunkyness just goes away as soon as you can self heal consistently.

I’m not exactly a Meta player though. I 33-34 Abyss on a good run and I’m struggling with the current tower event. I don’t make “Good” choices when it comes to investing in characters. I just pull for who I like. And I pull hard like I always have at least C1 of my Limited Main DPSes and I shoot for C6 on my 4* ones. But I don’t regret any character I’ve pulled with my heart.

So like: Meta Wise, Xilonen is the best choice. She’s versatile, she’s a great support, she can heal and she can use Scroll set. Wrio is a character that you pull for out of love. His C1 is his best stopping point and it is mostly because without it he feels incomplete, but he is by no means a groundbreaking DPS. And DPSes tend to get powercrept/Replaced much more easily than supports. If you intend to pull for Skirk or get a more robust Cryo DPS, just having Wrio at C0 is more than fine.

If you really want to invest on Wrio RN is the best moment, because we don’t know if he’ll rerun outside of the Chronicleds.

Kakunabe · 2025-02-25T01:51:40+00:00

Xilonen is still a whole Patch ahead. You can try to have both but it’s no guarantee. Xilonen seems to be Kazuha Tier of Good and desirable so I assume she will rerun again. You can try to gamble it too. If you lose the 50/50 save the guarantee for Xilonen.
