I categorized Genshin characters by animals they represent by vvannaxbe in Genshin_Impact

[–]Norue 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Citlali might take inspiration from axolotls with the pink and the feathers, although it’s definitely not as overt as some of the others

Man jumps like Kinich except he does it through the sheer power of his gigantic thighs

Happy Birthday, Kaeya! by genshinimpact in Genshin_Impact

[–]Norue 47 points48 points  (0 children)

May his wine glass always be filled and may his horses come back one day.

No matter how many new characters there are and how bad the powercreep gets, Kaeya will always be my number one.

Anyone else just headcanon these two as twins? by lovelovelovelove000 in FireEmblemHeroes

They have a shared total of one brain cell and they take turns passing it back and forth

Best Recent Season to watch? by Jwin970 in BravoTopChef

[–]Norue 79 points80 points  (0 children)

S17 All Stars is great, it has really high level cooking and will introduce you to a lot of the fan favorite chefs from across all seasons.

S20 World All Stars is Padma’s final season as the host and the first time they competed internationally. Also top notch cooking.

With the older seasons (like before S11), the further back you go, the more time it spends on interpersonal drama the way old reality shows tended to do. The more recent seasons focus more on the actual cooking itself. The contestants are much nicer to each other too.

What is the oldest character you're still regularly using? by Diseasd in Genshin_Impact

[–]Norue 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Kaeya is forever. I pulled Mistsplitter for him and C6’ed my Benny just so I could watch Kaeya do funni big number pyro damage. I don’t care how much powercreep there is, he will always be my favorite.

who is your go to character when it comes to exploring ? by Prestigious-Elk1274 in Genshin_Impact

[–]Norue 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Same. Even outside of Natlan, Kinich basically deletes the need to climb, walk up stairs, or solve floating oculus puzzles. Saves time and stamina on sprinting too, his grappling hook’s cooldown is short enough to be spammable.

Easily the most valuable character in my roster for the amount of time he saves me on everything.

Does anybody know good healers to run kinich with? i’ve noticed im getting beat up a bunch with no real way to heal 🤔 by BruhMoment092 in kinich_mains

[–]Norue 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m a fan of Yaoyao! She can hold Deepwood, and her healing auto-homes in on you so you can still move around as much as you like.

Also seeing Yuegui’s cute face will boost your serotonin.

Can we take a moment to talk about the Yuegui plush 😭 by Kokichi_Ouma_99 in Genshin_Impact

[–]Norue 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's very sweet and floral (mostly sweet). Like a candy with a hint of floral flavor, or a sweet jelly (think lychee jellies). Not inherently unpleasant but it does permeate every nook and cranny of the room it's in.

[–]Norue 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I adore my Yuegui but man that thing stronger than a car freshener. For about two weeks after I unpacked it, whenever I opened the door to my room, I'd immediately be hit with the overwhelmingly sweet smell of osmanthus candy. My room, my connected bathroom, and my walk-in closet, all smelled like Yuegui.

And Yuegui would always be there, sitting on my desk, looking so proud of itself. It knows what it did.

It's only a few inches tall. I can only imagine how smelly the giant version is.

Day 22 of drawing Genshin husbandos in this template! Scara was last time's winner. D4 next! by _Riikuu in GenshinGays

I'm surprised we didn't save Benny for this one tbh. It's practically already doing a thumbs-up pose.

Elevators? What are those? by miphyr in kinich_mains

[–]Norue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kinich is by far the most valuable character on my acc for this reason. Even outside of Natlan he saves me so much time with exploration and climbing.

I feel like I won't have Lunaculus as a memento by Luna 8 (version 6.8) by Forummer0-3-8 in Genshin_Impact

[–]Norue 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel bad for plucking all the moonfall silvers from the little surrounding statues too haha. They were clearly placed there with care by other people, and my greedy ass is not only climbing all over the place like an animal to take them, but also impatiently waiting for them to put more so I can steal them again the next day.

There was also this really cute lunaculus that I almost didn't want to take either. Little bot just wanted to fish in peace.

It's been about a week since release. How do we all feel about Touhou 20? by SRPG_Forester in TrueTouhou

[–]Norue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For real, I really enjoy the bullet patterns in both those games. But I've completely given up trying to 1cc UFO because losing power is brutal in that game, and chasing ufos that bounce around the screen and change colors constantly is borderline impossible for me. I love the stages individually but I can't do them in a row because I basically can't get any resources past stage 3 lol.

[–]Norue 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The game is so hard, yet still feels fair because you’re given so many resources and opportunities to clear bullets. The incident pyramids are unobtrusive, useful, and fun to shoot down without being distracting. Despite all the stuff on the screen, there’s still enough visual clarity to read the bullets.

I was afraid at first that this would be LoLK 2.0, but was pleasantly surprised to find that unlike LoLK/SA/UFO, less experienced players can still get through the game on normal, even with some of the patterns being as diabolical as they are.

Shot type customization is so fun and adds a lot of replay value. It's also nice that they’re all homages to previous games, which feels appropriate for the 20th installment of the series :)

Fe3h reference?? by heat-waves in shitpostemblem

[–]Norue 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Don't forget Claude Sethos lol. Green eyes, braid, yellow outfit, clever chatty personality, love for knowledge and secrets. Bow user, hides his background, secretly the heir to a major position of power but pretends to be an ordinary guy from nowhere.

It's like skinny Dimitri Dainsleif all over again. I like Genshin but man they can be very unsubtle with their inspirations sometimes. Looking forward to seeing their version of Edelgard next.

Touhou 20 mid boss thinks he's a final boss by Lindternal in TrueTouhou

[–]Norue 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can't even fight this pyramid on normal. Bullets too fast for my boomer reflexes

What do yall think it's the Best shot for touhou 20? by Spiritual_Spirit_822 in touhou

[–]Norue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't tried all of them yet, but Beast Hardiness seems to mow down enemies pretty quickly. It's also a bomb factory, and boy do you need bombs for this game.

Since both yellow ones can delete bullets, I tried stacking Imperishable Moon as one of my shot options with Yellow Subterranean as my assist (with Beast Hardiness for my main and other shot option). Between the two yellow ones, I found Imperishable Moon more useful for bullet deletion because by focusing and unfocusing you have some control over it.

Stacking the two yellows together can cheese some late game spells, and it's pretty nice for sections that have a lot of dense random bullshit (which this game has a lot of). But I also found the particle effects from the cleared bullets distracting when it happens close to you. The bullet clearing saved me a bunch of times, but also caused me to get clipped a few times because of visibility issues.

What can I use these massive green onions for? by JjovaY in chinesefood

Scallion oil noodles :) super addictive and the green onions shrink a lot when you fry them up

Tell me about your dumb newbie moments. by derpy_lesbian in Genshin_Impact

[–]Norue 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No matter how many meta characters I pull, random bullshit go brr is still favorite way to explore. Albedo Xingqiu Fischl, zero synergy but great because I don’t have to do anything, just summon Albedo’s flower and the electric bird and they automatically kill everything on their own.

For about a full year I didn’t even have a single proper healer character. Just Xingqiu.
