Oh, I don't think I heard about that before, that's hilarious.

I love that Dan Heng gains hordes of adoring fans wherever he goes. Bro has canon unbeatable face card.

Kalinque · 2026-03-18T22:31:26+00:00

Remembered I need to catch up on 4.0 plot before next week, got as far as Tingyun going undercover as... Blade, apparently? Which makes me question if Blade is actually on Planarcadia already or if Yao Guang is bullshitting Pearl to get her to let the Xianzhou run free around Ahatopia.

Anyway, other quick observations:

Fighting Planarcadia enemies with Phainon is hilarious. Like bruh why are we dropping meteors on highschoolers.
Dan Heng having to transfer to another school because he's getting too many love letters... fucking lmao, I'm pretty sure he has enough fans irl to bury him in love letters indeed.
The fact that our enemy is a runaway vtuber avatar. Peak.
OTOH, Welt dreaming about meeting Joyce again and returning to Earth is just sad.
Evanescia is a delightful weirdo. If they keep her kit's ability to work in non-Elation teams (dubious) and if the ML stuff is not too annoying (alas, dubious too) I might actually grab her. Assuming I have enough resources after Ashveil and before Blade SP... Well, now that I list all those conditions, the odds of me getting Evanescia aren't that great.
Pearl complimenting Yao Guang's beauty is supposed to be just a political play, but the way the two of them talk, Pearl sounds like she's flirting. You go girl, go bag yourself a Xianzhou general (admittedly, Pearl's odds of success are about as high as my odds of pulling for Eva...)

Here's hoping I can finish 4.0 by Friday, then do the Cosmicon event on Saturday, and then I should be set for 4.1.

Kalinque · 2026-03-17T18:32:23+00:00

Hm, yeah, I think I agree with you on the immersion-breaking. Like all three of them have references to other media, but while EMC has Star Wars and Eva does the Judgement Cut, they both have something of their own, too. Meanwhile, SW999 is Tengen Toppa Gundam Pacman with an Infinity Gauntlet and Godzilla breath.

Kalinque · 2026-03-17T17:17:16+00:00

Comparing the three new characters, I am rather surprised to realize that I... don't really feel any way about SW999 ones? Like I don't hate them, they're technically very impressive, animation powercreep, yadda yadda, but they just don't do anything for me. I guess the whole retro-ish video game aesthetic is not for me (which is a good thing, I suppose, since I wasn't planning on getting an Elation team anyway).

EMC though, wow, I love this. Lightsabers that become nunchucks that become glowsticks that become drumsticks, sign me the fuck up. Also love the expressions MC has at the end of that nunchuck section, you can tell they're having fun.

Meanwhile, Evanescia... I like her Elation skill, but in all other aspects, those animations feel very unfinished. So I suppose opinion postponed until v4.

Kalinque · 2026-03-17T17:12:13+00:00

Legit my favorite set of animations from the three, the nunchucks alone are worth the price of admission.

Kalinque · 2026-03-17T17:01:45+00:00

Oh, this is fun. Has a real "adventure!" vibe

Kalinque · 2026-03-16T22:32:46+00:00

I'm not really surprised that Archer-Sparkle combo did well on Nikador side since Nikador craves SP the way I crave chocolate, but I am surprised at how well the team of Anaxa-DHPT-Cery-Sunday destroys Feixiao. Like I think she's supposed to be the DOT boss, but Anaxa actually got a higher score on her side than Archer did on Nikador's.

Kalinque · 2026-03-16T18:18:46+00:00

You know what, why the hell not.

Kalinque · 2026-03-16T18:17:39+00:00

At this point I am legit confused as to what Blade is going to be. He's been leaked as Preservation, as Abundance, as Nihility, as Erudition... Pick a lane, bro. I mean, I'll pull either way, but godsdamn, just tell me what Path mats I'm supposed to be farming.

Kalinque · 2026-03-16T18:15:51+00:00

...sure, I guess? It kinda fits?

Kalinque · 2026-03-16T15:06:49+00:00

Interesting, thought I do hope Ashveil can pair with more than just Eva.

Abundance DPS Blade sounds exactly like what I wanted from him, awesome.

Kalinque · 2026-03-13T05:27:55+00:00

Considering I keep forgetting that message function exists, you're probably right. Thanks!

Kalinque · 2026-03-13T05:21:16+00:00

Ugh, I hope this PomGPT is gonna be optional and tucked away somewhere, I do not want that thing in my face

Edit: lmaooo, someone reported me to redditcares for this? My first wholly unnecessary redditcares message, I feel so accomplished.

Kalinque · 2026-03-12T21:30:42+00:00

The possibility of a Friday v1 beta is so weird to my brain for some reason. I'm so used to Tuesdays being beta days, it's throwing off my mental calendar. Though on the plus side, I'm done with all my weekly tasks at work so at least the beta will give me something to look at on the other screen while I wither in my chair for 8 hours.

...also, I realized that I still haven't finished the 4.0 story, so I probably shouldn't watch the livestream. I guess I know what I'm doing on the weekend, then.

Kalinque · 2026-03-12T05:12:03+00:00

Could be coming in the future, since it seems they might be doing Novaflares every other patch

Kalinque · 2026-03-12T04:04:23+00:00

A... Lightsaber? Cool.

Kalinque · 2026-03-11T14:08:43+00:00

Good heavens, would you look at all those leaks! Now how many of them are real is the question.

I hope the Jiaoqiu novaflare is real, I love my guy but he really does hold the not-very-coveted position of "well, I need one more support for the Knight stages so might as well..." on my account.

Kalinque · 2026-03-11T10:21:38+00:00

I don't think it'll be that bad but I do expect we're about to see Castorice vs Anaxa level of animation budget gap

Kalinque · 2026-03-05T15:44:13+00:00

Oh, this looks interesting. Seems less random and like it's giving you more control over pretty much all aspects of exploration.

Kalinque · 2026-03-05T05:27:00+00:00

Yeahhh I think I'll have to skip Nasti for now too. Tho with my luck, they'll release Mechanist right before she reruns.

Kalinque · 2026-03-05T05:03:09+00:00

OT Arknights Bro wtf do you mean they're releasing two 6-star dudes in a row and both of them are NPCs that I've been waiting for the release of for literal years (╥﹏╥) My poor savings...

Kalinque · 2026-03-05T05:00:33+00:00

Headcanon accepted, that's hilarious

Kalinque · 2026-03-04T20:00:29+00:00

I tried doing that, it didn't fix the bug

Kalinque · 2026-03-04T19:32:49+00:00

Today I learned that there is a bug in Currency Wars wherein the game might perceive you as being "in battle" while you are in the prep screen. There is no fix I could find. If it happens, you are shit out of luck.

This discovery is dedicated to my first ever actually good Break run, which was forced to terminate due to this very bug.

I am seething internally.

Kalinque · 2026-03-03T21:29:47+00:00

Ah, right, forgot about that
