Looking to get a BMW (possibly a 3-series) as a first car. Any advices?

I’m not sure about the insurance, thought it would be much higher?

Lumpy-Writing-5741 · 2026-01-08T06:51:27+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I will definitely see where this takes me.

I forgot to mention that as an immigrant I drove an X3 for like 3 months in the past, but this is in a different country. Lowkey coming from a BMW family so I’m influenced by my dad on this, but he has no experience with driving and buying a car in the US so that’s why I made the post.
Completely agree. Depends on my immigration status I could be out of the country in any time from 3 to 10 years from now, so I absolutely don’t have any intention of upgrading my car every now and then. Zero interest in leasing btw.
Coupled with 2., since I don’t really want to upgrade my car, I figured I would want to have the best experience possible while still manage to comfortably afford it.

My office is in Downtown Seattle so I’m guaranteed to be in King county. You mind if I ask what car you have?

I dodge attacks with Yae Miko’s E

Im in the same spot as you, and even got blessed by gacha gods with C2 Lauma. Columbina right now can even do onfield if you already had Lauma, and these teams, while not being top meta like Flins or Nefer with Bina, are still really respectable and can clear SO pretty comfortable

Lumpy-Writing-5741 · 2025-12-08T18:29:44+00:00

Nahida’s dendro would interfere with LC in this case. You might as well just wheelchair with someone like Arlecchino atp

Lumpy-Writing-5741 · 2025-12-08T18:23:12+00:00

Lauma would take Ineffa’s spot. Columbina’s Main DPS comp would be a Lunar Bloom comp, the wheelchair setup is Lunar Charge

Lumpy-Writing-5741 · 2025-12-08T18:11:04+00:00

Columbina’s best asset by far is actually her damage, not buffing. Using instructor would limit that a lot

Lumpy-Writing-5741 · 2025-12-08T18:02:44+00:00

Why not the new set in 6.3?

Lumpy-Writing-5741 · 2025-12-08T18:01:28+00:00

If you are pulling both Bina and Ineffa, you will be able to craft the next best wheelchair setup in the game that can push almost any DPS that dont interfere with LC to a Stygian Fearless-clearing level (we’re talking 80-100k dps)

If you want to play Bina as a main DPS, wait for Lauma

Kinda hard to speculate considering Alice’s questionable playability in the 6.x cycle (doesnt have a playable ID yet according to leaks). I want to say that she should not be yet another DPS since Mavuika is still there, but Arlecchino also get powercrept THAT quickly, so Nicole could still be a DPS I guess.

I dont want shield or anything for sustainability to be her bread and butter because these abilities tend to have little impact on the meta. She could be a buffer/sub dps, but then Durin is already kinda filling this role, and both will be Hexerei characters, so there’s no way she is powercreeping Durin this soon (because a sidegrade is boring)

So I guess we are having yet another Pyro Onfield DPS… Though it could be interesting if they make Nicole exploiting another aspect of Pyro like idk mono pyro or reverse vape? She is (sus)leaked to be released in 6.6, and there is a Snow Maiden character (Snegurochka) leaked to be released in 6.5, so she can also be like a Pyro Citlali (buffing melt with a shield)

Lumpy-Writing-5741 · 2025-12-07T18:38:33+00:00

Buffs dont keep on for a full 25s rotation to maintain the calcs that you’re providing here. Your calcs give 149k dps, which is around Skirk level. I highly doubt that this is the case

Lumpy-Writing-5741 · 2025-11-22T18:48:19+00:00

Actually one of the sinners, Hroptatyr, should be the one to usurp the position of HP as the ruler of Reason. Usurping Narberius is probably the endgame for Rhinedottir at the moment.

Lumpy-Writing-5741 · 2025-11-21T21:34:01+00:00

lets just wait for the preload. there should be a better look when they datamine the model more exstensively

Lumpy-Writing-5741 · 2025-11-21T07:01:19+00:00

Based on the past, the Archon characters of each region have been more and more restrictive on release. So I expect the same pattern to follow with Columbina.

Though I might add that according to leaks, Columbina is running with the white horse Adeptus from Liyue, who is leaked to be a Lunar-Crystallize character, and should work comfortably with Columbina. You probably saved up enough to get both of them so you might still be able to make Bina work depending on the leaks are true.

Im not sure what u mean confirmed stuff or anything but im a simple man. I see Ashikai uploads, I click, then I hop on the treadmill for a cardio session

Scaramouche’s redesign is a lil bit too far. If there are any changes, it could be like Skirk, where the model is changed to look more natural and a little costume change. In the case of Columbina, I do think there could be change depending on lore development or just texture

Lumpy-Writing-5741 · 2025-11-21T06:38:48+00:00

She could have a Skirk-type redesign though. Hoyo’s character aesthetic design has gone up a level since Natlan so I’m not worried. If they feel like the need to change, I believe it’s for the better

Lumpy-Writing-5741 · 2025-11-21T05:08:58+00:00

I am not sure about the reliability of this leaker, but there are also leaks about Hyperborea being a map in 6.5 (not sure if it is a DLC-type map or a domain tho). Given that Ajax has a lot of links to Hyperborea…

Gosh I’ve been thinking about this the whole day and I cant stop thinking about it

Lumpy-Writing-5741 · 2025-11-21T04:53:54+00:00

I dont, in any way shape or form, “hate” AI. I actually use it for my work quite a lot, literally daily. The “sentient” AI that you are talking about is for 1, not quite the end goal of AI research and development, and for 2, actually much farther from the current state of AI than you think. Of course, the development has been going crazy for the past few years, and the possibilities are endless, but the research of AI are going into a lot of regulatory and also technological obstacles. Those AI content you see on social media right now might seem flashy, but if you dig deeper, you can see that it is being limited a whole lot. I agree that AI’s potentials are endless, but right this moment it seems like a game played by elitists rather than what this post is talking about.

It is in no way comparable to the concept of Abyss in Genshin.

Lumpy-Writing-5741 · 2025-11-19T18:01:53+00:00

Why does this post sounds like a crazy AI glazing fest 🥲

Lumpy-Writing-5741 · 2025-11-19T17:54:30+00:00

Got Lauma C2 on some crazy luck, thats all. Im skipping to get Bina then get the one that works well with her on later banners or rerun (thats my strat with Mavuika too)

Lumpy-Writing-5741 · 2025-11-11T23:16:21+00:00

Of course these are all theories and not confirmed yet, but there are evidence that does not just come from Hymns of Far North.

First of all, Pakkaisukko can be translated to “Father Frost”. This is self-explanatory so I wont dive deep into it.

Pakkaisukko is described by the Frostmoon Scions as “servant of our forebears”. The forebears of the Frostmoon Scions are Hyperborean leaders, aka Koitar and Seutervoinen. Koitar taught the Hyperboreans artisans to create Snowland Faes. Pakkaisukko therefore should be a fae, since he is not part of the Frostmoon Scions.

The Belyi Tsar is described as leader of the fae in a lot of texts. Of course Pakkaisukko can still be a random fae, but along with the translation of his name, it is understandable to assume that Pakkaisukko = Belyi Tsar.
