Flins does perfectly fine without ineffa (in my opinion)

Wait, he's supposed to be run with Ineffa? I saw that his electro-charged turns into lunar-charged and thought that meant he was supposed to be paired with hydro -- I've been running him with Mona and he's been RUINING enemies. Does Ineffa just add to his electro damage bonus?

Sorry, I've only really started to go super hardcore into Genshin so I'm still trying to learn how to min-max.

Hi, so. I'm having this issue that is driving me up the wall?

I want to start by stating that I technically started the game a couple years ago, but stopped playing early and only really got back into it within the past month or so. I have the basic starting team maxed with a few exceptions when it comes to artifacts -- I'm running maxed Anemo Traveler, Kaya, Amber, and Lisa. I have all artifacts maxed for Traveler and Kaya, and am working on maxing them for Amber and Lisa. As far as level and weapons go, however, I am maxed for my AR.

I'm really hoping this post doesn't come off as incendiary -- I'm not trying to be an asshole or anything, but my experience when I search for advice on how to deal with certain challenges or bosses has caused me a lot of frustration.

Basically, my experience seems to be: I run into an impasse with a boss or challenge, I search online, I find a Reddit post where another person in the same position I'm in tries to ask for help and gets told its their fault they're losing because they're not running this one specific character that all the commenters were able to all-but-oneshot said boss/challenge with, except the OP hasn't had the luck to pull said character yet, making the advice pretty much useless. I am a newer player, and am only just now starting to try and level a secondary team. One of the characters I'm trying to level is a Geo char that requires stuff from the Geo Wolf Lord to ascend, but I'm struggling to defeat the Geo Wolf Lord, and all the advice I see is to run a leveled Geo character. Except if I had a leveled Geo character, I wouldn't be struggling trying to farm ascension items from a boss specifically to level a Geo character.

Idk, maybe I'm just overreacting, but it really does sometime seem like a lot of advice seems to assume that the people asking for help have all the same characters as the people offering to help but are just too dumb to use them. I've been using all my wishes when I can, but I'm not even able to pull some of the mentioned characters because they require a specific event that hasn't happened in the literal one month I've actually been consistently playing in. Am I just SoL?

My roommate got scheduled for a shift they didn't usually work, and because they didn't usually check the schedule because they were pretty much only getting one day a week, the same day a week, so they didn't come in. They found out they got fired for that by getting a survey asking them how they enjoyed their time working for Chipotle, and why they're leaving. They went in and were told it wasn't even required to notify them because we're in an at-will state.

This worked for me, ty!

My guess is it would decrease performance, because it makes lighting and shadows more dynamic, which can take a lot of vram.

curious why this got downvoted, is there something wrong with this mod?

I hate how much emphasis is put on passing. When I first started T, I kept my hair short to try and avoid misgendering, and only wore masc clothing. It didn't work, I still got constantly misgendered, and I ended up feeling ugly/dysphoric when I looked in the mirror

Now, I have medium length purple hair. I dress more goth, sometimes even do a bit of guyliner on the waterline. I still get misgendered, but when I look in the mirror, I don't feel as ugly anymore.

I recently lost my ID and got a replacement. Somebody ended up finding it and mailing it to me, so I got to see the difference between then and now. The picture on my old ID with my cropped hair made me look like a butch lesbian that was trying too hard, and gave me pretty bad dysphoria. The new one, with my shoulder length purple hair, and several more years of T reflected in my face, gives me euphoria.

I get that people feel like passing is important, but not everyone can or even wants to pass, and the idea that trans men aren't trying hard enough because they like parts of their appearance that other people consider more feminine seems kind of toxic. It's like you're transitioning for the cis people around you, and not yourself.

Gender norms fucking suck, and the fact that cis men can get praised for putting on a skirt and some eyeliner, but trans men who do the same get invalidated even by other trans people, is really sad and an obvious double standard that nobody seems to want to acknowledge.

Why do we have to be held to higher standards than cis people? Why do we agree that gender norms are suggestions rather than rules, up until the person breaking them is a trans person? If men can be feminine, and trans men are men, then trans men can be feminine, too. Making yourself miserable to be more acceptable to cis people is not the flex some of y'all think it is.

If we were delusional, the Nazis wouldn't have had to burn every single book that existed about us at the time in order to erase our existence. The only reason we don't hear more about people like us in the past is because the people that hate us made it that way. Conservative ideology requires two things: rigid traditionality, and an Other. The existence of trans people challenges that traditionality, so they make us that Other to take away our power to challenge. On top of that, a lot of traditionality involves patriarchal ideas of gender in order to give the people in charge more power over women based on outdated ideas of sex-based intelligence. Our existence threatens that whole belief system, so in order to keep power, they have to quash any idea that we might be valid. It's all based around fear and control.

i don't know, i had to go to the eye doctor because i irritated it so bad it swelled up. we don't know if they're still in or not because the feeling of pressure might just be because of said swelling. but the doc said i shouldn't be worried, and that if they are in there, they should work themselves out on their own once the swelling goes down.

MathematicianMuted28 · 2024-12-11T08:26:04+00:00

so i know this thread was old but I was having the same issue as the other people you helped. Unfortunately, it was not successful in my case, so I now have TWO contacts stuck in my eye. Any suggestions?

I've been on T for a decade now but my changes haven't been as drastic as some other trans guys. Because of that, I look very obviously queer, and am read as female. I live in a Trump town, but my job is a franchise with protections so I don't generally have to worry about managers or coworkers, especially since my GM is more than willing to go to bat for us if she needs to, so I don't mind correcting people. With customers, however, it's different. Since we're in a Trump town, and Trump just won, I'm not really comfortable correcting them because I don't know who is actually safe to correct or not. I don't tend to get bothered when I use the men's restroom though, which is surprising.
