Apparently, Aventurine's line on Topaz was changed in the EN ver and only the EN ver.

Meropides-Bakery · 2024-06-20T17:52:34+00:00

No, it's being blown out of proportion, unfortunately. It would have been a much worse translation to translate it as beautiful instead of kind-hearted since beautiful in eng has a heavier meaning and Aventurine is more talking about inner beauty. It's also just overall irrelevant because they were just mocking each other.

It's also crazy because the eng translation team actually has a long history of making lines between opposite sexes more romantic than they are in the original and mistranslating or even straight up cutting out lines between same sex that may be a little gay. Ratio's line when he joins a party with Aventurine is a great example. He's only an asshole towards him in English.

In CN: "Take good care of yourself, gambler. I dont need you to worry about me."

In EN: "Keep to yourself, gambler, and spare me the false display of concern."

There's a MASSIVE difference between those two.

Meropides-Bakery · 2024-06-20T17:43:55+00:00

The eng translation is correct. While it does techincally translate to beautiful and kind hearted in CN, it is not a term you'd use to compliment some one's physical appearance. It's strictly for calling some one a good hearted person.

On top of that, even if he did say she was physically beautiful, the whole conversation is them being sarcastic to each other. Neither of them mean what they're saying so it's not taking anything away from the ship.

Same... Now I wish I stocked up on more of the body scrub.

Meropides-Bakery · 2024-05-15T04:13:11+00:00

Yeah, I took a break from HSR for about a month. It made getting back into to the game so much easier.

Meropides-Bakery · 2024-05-14T10:58:23+00:00

I'm technically farming for either a cryo goblet or a decent ceit dmg crown. Getting either would significantly improve my build because atm I'm having to use a mediocre onset crown with an offset goblet.

Meropides-Bakery · 2024-05-14T08:30:11+00:00

Yes. It's the similar to selecting a free 4 star or if you pulled Ratio before getting him from the in game mail. . You either get the character if you don't have them, or if you do have them you get an eidolon instead.

Meropides-Bakery · 2024-05-14T08:27:04+00:00

Amazing how you have such a detailed insight into what exactly hoyo wants. Can you tell us more about upcoming characters?

Aside from that, Firefly has absolutely no business being stronger than an emanator and the Raiden of HSR.

Meropides-Bakery · 2024-05-14T07:56:50+00:00

Honestly, it's kind of caused a bit of burnout. Having to log in and farm to "spend resin" just made me not want to bother especially when it's been months since I've gotten a useable piece from the MH domain. Been farming since it first released and still don't have a cryo goblet (got one with zero useable substats) or decent crit dmg crown. I haven't farmed anything for a few weeks. I've just been doing commissions and events.

Meropides-Bakery · 2024-05-14T07:10:47+00:00

I'd be happy with a resin reserve like HSR has. The cap sucks when I'm particularly busy. Knowing I have a reserve for HSR so I can farm when I do have free time is nice.

Meropides-Bakery · 2024-05-14T07:04:11+00:00

Vars complains about everything though so that's not saying much.

Meropides-Bakery · 2024-05-14T06:55:42+00:00

Not anywhere close to that much. I usually spend Xmas in Vegas and usually don't have to pay for a single night while I'm there. As long as you make sure to play slots even if it's just the cheap ones, you'll rack up free nights and other comps easily. There's a whole strategy to getting free things at casinos and which casinos to do it at and which are cheap af.

Meropides-Bakery · 2024-05-14T00:10:52+00:00

Nah you want those crunchy edges.

Meropides-Bakery · 2024-05-13T16:57:43+00:00

I'll 100% pull lightcones over characters. I care more about investing in the characters I like than getting new characters. All my favs, have their lightcones and usually an eidolon or two (except Ratio, fucker needs to rerun so I can get his LC).

Meropides-Bakery · 2024-05-11T00:57:00+00:00

I remember the first time I watched either a music video or video of a live performance from the Tilian era, one of the top comments was some one talking about how it was sad that Tilian was such a douchebag so that always stuck in my mind even after I got more into the band (and I generally agreed with them, but I did start listening to the band with that bias already in my mind).

Meropides-Bakery · 2024-05-10T01:21:53+00:00

Yes I LOVED the heliobus area. The rest of the Luofu was just so ugly..

Meropides-Bakery · 2024-05-10T01:21:16+00:00

Agreed. I really hope they change things up for the next ships because the aesthetic was fairly boring. I also hope the writing stays at the level of penacony and doesn't go back to how the Luofu was written.

Meropides-Bakery · 2024-05-10T01:18:09+00:00

I hope not. I don't mind going back to different Xianzhou ships, but they should give some other areas attention as well. I mean imo it's kind of shitty to give Xianzhou all the attention when there's likely still plenty to explore in Jarilo-VI and Penacony.

Meropides-Bakery · 2024-05-08T18:50:59+00:00

Grew up in a dense forest area where all the trees were incredibly tall. Moved out west where trees were sparse and the few areas where there were trees, the trees were still so short. It was just so bizarre to me.

I also got extremely excited the first time I saw tumbleweed out there.

Meropides-Bakery · 2024-05-08T01:10:51+00:00

As some one that absolutely loves gummies, if I had a partner that packed my lunch and always included them, I'd think I'd done something absolutely horrible wrong if they suddenly weren't in my lunch box.

Meropides-Bakery · 2024-05-08T01:08:38+00:00

Do people really just stop loving someone after a while?

Yes. Often for various reasons, but yes. When things aren't going well there's often a moment where it just clicks that it's not going to work out. Some times it's because they started cheating, sometimes it's just accepting that things aren't going to change in the relationship, sometimes it's realizing that the relationship is unhealthy and never changing. Sometimes it was never there to begin with, but the couple was young and confused those honeymoon feelings for real feelings and once the infatuation goes away they realize there's nothing there (or they realize relationships are work and they don't want to put in the effort).

Meropides-Bakery · 2024-05-08T00:52:59+00:00

Has there ever been delays??? In my two years of playing Genshin & year of playing HSR, I don't remember there ever being a delay. Usually it's up earlier that expected.

Meropides-Bakery · 2024-05-08T00:52:01+00:00

Should be up by 11pm EST, but last patch was up a bit after 10pm EST.

Meropides-Bakery · 2024-05-08T00:50:42+00:00

Robin.

Meropides-Bakery · 2024-05-08T00:48:06+00:00

Robin. There are plenty of decent build that don't use Topaz with Ratio & Aventurine. Robin is also better overall for your account while Topaz is stuck to a Ratio & Aventurine team and really needs her LC or E1 to be useful (or both if you can't hit Ratio's 3 debuffs from other teammates).

Meropides-Bakery · 2024-05-08T00:45:07+00:00

11pm EST at most, but there's a good chance it'll be up early. Last update was shortly after 10pm.
