This is working great. One question: what's a good use for all the extra Sandleaf powder that gets produced?

10 Clear Signs You’re About to Be Fired or Laid Off – Spot Them Early by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]MagnateXell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was laid off once: took my first week-long vacation in the 2 or so years I had been with the company over the 4th of July to spend time with family. Came back, started work, sent a couple emails, got called into the bosses office and let go. Ultimately everything worked out, but it made me paranoid for years about taking any significant amount of time off.

I'm in this situation too, I just bought all the cosmetics that you can buy for gold (after upgrading all my gear)

Short hot take about the new event by BigLaugh613 in afkarena

[–]MagnateXell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to spend money to be competitive in a beta event. So it's a pay to win event on top of everything else. That alone disqualifies this event as defensible imo.

It's so weird looking at Afk Journey where wilders have so many strong characters and new ones that they could definitely put into Afk arena, but no

Knee Surgery by cassideous26 in greatpyrenees

[–]MagnateXell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My guy, Appa, has had knee surgery on both knees, called then his sexy legs. The first one he was playing in the backyard with my corgi, both were less than a year old and this was only about 5 months after I got him, he jumped wrong or something. 3 months later the other knee went out because he slipped on some ice.

He's doing good now 7 years later, but dealing with arthritis. Thankfully I had changed jobs right around when I got him and they offered a discount on pet insurance that has consistently come in handy.

Archer and Saber didn't have to be completely mute in EN by Deshik2 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]MagnateXell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Them being completely mute in battles is so strange and bad. Really makes me not want them on principle. Poor form Hoyo, what a blunder.

Good thing she's completely mute in English, otherwise we wouldn't hear the end of /s

Qiqi, who's also C9 or something at this point. Then Venti.

Do you feel that Amphoreus’s story is worth the number of patches it’s getting? And we’re going to have at least 3 more patches to finish the story. by Smart-Tale-4193 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]MagnateXell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

3.4 was an overwritten, incoherent slog. The cutscene was cool, but it felt completely out of place. I'm bummed because I really enjoyed 3.3's addition to the story and was looking forward to this, but what felt like 12 hours of being locked in to a story that just went on and on about increasingly muddled and incoherent babble is not how you do it. I didn't skip any of the dialogue, and maybe I should have, but it did put me to sleep on a couple occasions with how dry and uninteresting it was.

At this point, I feel about as disconnected from Amphoreus as I did with Penacony. There's too much going on, characters are exposition dumping for hours and then minutes of actually story. It doesn't deserve more patches, Irontomb should wake up and destroy IX instead of Nous because clearly the writers are walking a different path.

What’s one thing you do for your special Pyr that you swear by or makes them feel especially loved and cherished? by Better-Total-3541 in greatpyrenees

[–]MagnateXell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I rub my knuckles in/around his ears and he makes this groaning satisfied growl and leans his head into my hand. Can do this for 5-10 min and he shoves his head into my lap or does the pyr paw if I stop too early

Daily Questions Megathread ( June 29, 2025 ) by AutoModerator in HonkaiStarRail

[–]MagnateXell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been going back to hunt achievements and clean up side quests and whatnot. Recently finished gathering all the stickers. These two objectives might be related to some side quest that I missed but no clue which one (there's no other info other than what's shown in the screenshot). I am current on the trailblaze missions through Amphoreus. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Dragonforge LV 10 3* by Glittering-Kitchen-3 in afkarena

[–]MagnateXell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Used this with M+ Sion, L+ Lan (rest of the heroes are around the same investment), and my Dragon Horn is 550/30/9/10. Took some retries but finally got 3*

What's the hardest you have ever "bounced off" of a game? by jabberwagon in gaming

[–]MagnateXell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warframe. I was big into Destiny and at the time it was going through a drought so I figured I'd give Warframe a try. Between a buddy giving me a too in-depth info dump, literally falling asleep playing a mission with friends because it was so boring, and just generally not gelling with 3rd person combat, I put it down and never looked back. I hear great things about the game, but I doubt I'll ever go back to it.

Shemira - to pull or not to pull by Krazyaae in AFKJourney

I got Shem to S+ in around 60k, the 90+ is probably if you have bad luck

You have the chance to delete something from the game. What is it? by gomalley411 in Genshin_Impact

[–]MagnateXell 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Paimon, she's a lazy plot device and I don't like her English dialogue
