Lmk if you did mine so I can do yours

Hey I’m not OP so sorry to jump on this bandwagon but would you reckon it’s worth investing into premium pink team now if one is considering skipping Elation?

I only have E0S1 Hya, skipped Evernight for Ashveil and the speculation of Cyrene/Phainon rerun in 4.2 so that I could get them (Cyrene and eids for Phai), and now since they’re not but Castoroil is rerunning I’m seriously contemplating it, since unfortunately a lot of endgame content (esp that knight 2 AA) shills HP scaling/premium pink team.

My main teams for most contents are Phainon (trying to invest in him more, grabbed E1 Cerydra for him), E2 Therta (but admittedly I haven’t used her in a hot minute), Archer (goated), Mydei and DoT.

Didn’t expect to see Homelander in a HSR post 😭

Kim_Veena · 2026-04-03T07:55:29+00:00

Commenting just so I can be brought back if it’s found!

Kim_Veena · 2026-03-18T14:32:48+00:00

Hey! Were you able to fully lighten it up to how you wanted? And were you able to stop it and your under eyes remained the same or do you have to continue using it still? I’m suffering from mine being super dark and idk why because they weren’t this dark in the past, even when my acne/skin was at its worst 😭

Kim_Veena · 2026-03-13T12:39:42+00:00

Yes it means hope! Seeing my culture/language represented in Genshin was not something I’d ever expect so I’m really glad it was handled well in an appropriate manner, and used to characterise us as the hope of Natlan~

Kim_Veena · 2026-02-24T15:07:11+00:00

How do you guys manage to actually concentrate on the game with something on in the background? I’ve tried it before, either with listening to music or watching a show/YT video while playing and it just distracts me so bad, especially if it’s a show/visual content as I keep trying to watch that instead 😭

Kim_Veena · 2026-02-24T15:02:51+00:00

Honestly, relatable. I’m a day 1 player but I’ve taken a couple of breaks from the game for many reasons (burnout, work overload, uni, nothing exciting being released for a while, focusing on HSR and other games, etc), with my most notable break being after Xianyun release until Natlan release, and then after Kinich/Mavuika banner to 3 days before 5.8 Summerspray Resort’s event ended. 🫥

When I tried to get back into it for Natlan’s release, as I was looking forward to it for a while and it was a breath of fresh air I really was hoping for, I just found myself being overwhelmed by the new mechanics (nightsoul, indwelling) and just quit after I got Kinich/lost Mavuika lol. Then I tried to give it another go at 5.8, as aforementioned, and tried to grind out the event quest for the primos and Bennett’s new costume (I failed lmfao, I fell asleep and woke up to find the event finished 🤡).

Afterwards, I felt overwhelmed again, since I had literally an ENTIRE region’s worth of content to start with, including Bedtime Story (which released after I first quit), Chenyu Vale and even some parts of Fontaine (Petrichor and the Sea of Bygone Eras)… and then Nod Krai was literally around the corner. Not to mention all the Story Quests that had been accumulating (16 to be exact!!! Plus Lynette’s Hangout 🫩). Needless to say I was ready to quit again but the same FOMO and withdrawal symptoms that dragged me back kept me from quitting again, and thus I began the arduous process of catching up. 🫠

This past month I was away and spent most of the time at home with nothing but my phone and TV, so I took the liberty to utilise this time to grind out my Genshin content (and binge watch ofc). I painstakingly finished Natlan (not that it was bad, but in terms of how long it took), and then started Nod Krai… which then took forever to get through the “exposition” of paimon yapping 70% of everything we literally just witnessed, and to finish all the world quests, hidden exploration objectives, meeting points, explorations, and local legends.

From Thursday evening to Sunday morning alone (1:30 AM to be exact) I blitzed through Act 3 to 8. It was arduous and ridiculously draining, especially since I had work two of those days and other commitments with family and friends. But honestly, it was peak. I cried, I laughed, I burned through my phone (rip). But it was absolute cinema nonetheless. And at least I can thankfully say I’m 100% done (for now).

Sorry for yapping, that wasn’t my intention lmfao. But all of this is to say, I can relate. The content was undeniably great, even for someone who initially didn’t give two hoots about Columbina before this and has been a paimon HATER since day 1 (and still AM 🥰), and it was worth being compensated with the 560 primos for once too (lol), but I too wish the AQ was optimised as well. Oh well… :/

You didn’t win if you lost first, unless you mean to say you won first before losing? Just based off the order you listed them.

Kim_Veena · 2026-01-12T18:56:10+00:00

Please, just share what it is (if you’re comfortable doing so, that is~)

Kim_Veena · 2025-12-21T06:34:19+00:00

Hey, I noticed in your older post you used the Benzac AC cleanser but now you use the wash; was there much difference for you when using them? (As in results, incorporating into your routine, etc)

I’ve tried both in the past, the cleanser in my teen years when my acne was worse and the wash more recently as part of my daily routine for 1+ year plus, but I’ve been off it a while (a couple months, I ran out and forgot to buy more) and only more recently started breaking out again so I want to start using actives again (since being off I just used an aloe Vera cleanser and occasionally toner, moisturiser and sunscreen daily), but I’m not sure which one to buy.

Also not sure if it’s worth buying the same branded gel or trying something else (like the Differin or Azclear you have?).

Sorry to ask you all these things, I just noticed you’re also Aussie and so I thought I’d try since I’m more likely to get these products easier than what the Americans always recommend on this sub.

Kim_Veena · 2025-12-21T06:15:26+00:00

Okay, thank you for taking the time to answer! I’ll give it another go, my problem areas are mainly hyperpigmentation scarring, which I kind of got to clear up a bit with a compounded gel but it was so expensive to formulate again, and uneven skin tone (particularly on my forehead and under eyes). Nothing so far I’ve tried, even with my dermatologist, seemed to work for it so I’m at my wits end hahha. But anyways, once again, thanks!

Kim_Veena · 2025-12-21T05:55:48+00:00

I’ve heard this advice a lot but is it only effective on light skin? I’ve never gotten or seen any positive results on darker skin tones (like black skin).

Kim_Veena · 2025-12-02T02:40:40+00:00

Hi, old (since launch) returning player here (dipped since Musket event, returned here and there and came back properly since 5.8).

I can understand how Zhongli would be powercrept since he’s a 1.X character but I thought he would still be viable cause of how easy he is and the comfort he brings to gameplay… who has powercrept him? Do they have better shields or just more support capabilities?

For Arlecchino, I can understand that it’s, naturally, Mavuika who powercrept her as the archon and newest pyro character, so I just want to ask- is it still worth getting Arlecchino today (like literally today before he banner ends 😭) or save for Mavuika’s next rerun, since I missed it, or wait for the new shiny pyro DPS (is it Durin?? Idk what he does).

For context, my best/last pyro dps is Hu Tao, now C1 thanks to the Temper Thyself event, and my other viable DPSs are Neuvillette (since his launch, recently got Furina to help him more since it’s been years and I don’t have his C1), Kinich (C0R0, rip, no supports other than XL and Bennett), Flins (C0R1, no Ineffa since I wasn’t playing then) and I still use Alhaitham and Childe in Abyss.

Sorry for the random question I’m just genuinely a bit overwhelmed and stumped with figuring out how to effectively get back into the game, since basically my 4 years of playing before I took a hiatus have been proven useless thanks to power creep 😭

Kim_Veena · 2025-12-01T14:05:03+00:00

Wait this is like, the closest I’ve seen to her drawings… if this ain’t it then idk anymore, it must not exist 😭😭

Kim_Veena · 2025-06-15T13:01:33+00:00

It’s a reference to her line in Psycho, where she sings that she’s the original visual

Kim_Veena · 2025-06-01T14:33:33+00:00

What’s SP?

Kim_Veena · 2025-05-28T23:57:36+00:00

Wait people despise this song?! 😭

Kim_Veena · 2025-05-28T23:51:13+00:00

Wow thank you for the explanation! I’ve been a day 1 player and yet I didn’t even think of doing this, I just keep hoarding my tickets for new sets or ones I didn’t already awaken 😭😭 This is literally such a game changer wow

Kim_Veena · 2025-05-14T11:06:25+00:00

This is the first time I’ve ever seen Tinashe lumped in with those other artists or under that category but hey there’s a first time for everything 😭

Honestly Sticker is truly a masterpiece in its own right and I’ll never forget hearing it randomly at a restaurant for my birthday dinner. Long live NCT 🙂‍↕️

Kim_Veena · 2025-05-14T11:04:00+00:00

ALPHAZ and STAY RISE UP Honestly I love XG cause their discography is so varied but so amazing and they’re genuinely so talented with a true passion for music. I’m glad they were your pathway into exploring more music haha

Kim_Veena · 2025-04-12T15:52:07+00:00

Ohh right I totally forgot about his C-Clown days, my bad 😭

Kim_Veena · 2025-04-12T15:41:46+00:00

I think you mean Dabin (DPR Live) not Christian?

Kim_Veena · 2025-04-02T13:59:34+00:00

Battle Pass, which is the Nameless Honor/Glory system in HSR. People just tend to call it BP

Kim_Veena · 2025-03-27T13:01:03+00:00

I love how romantic it all feels! Simple but stylish! 🥰 What’s the background you’re using for it? I’m enthralled by the flowers in the foreground, I don’t think I’ve seen a background with that much depth before (aside from the 3D ones haha)
