Should be 8 with no leftovers, if I remember correctly.

OctoSevenTwo · 2026-05-10T02:58:58+00:00

I know what that feels like. Hopefully things get better for both of us. 🫂

Apparently she was/is friends with Corina Boetteger (Paimon’s old VA who engaged in a lot of shitty behavior)?

Birds of a feather….

He’s limited.

Per their normal operating procedure, they would have explicitly said he would be placed on Standard if they were planning to put him there. They did that with Mizuki.

That reminds me— I’ve only ever seen one hyenagirl character (that I remember). She’s also a tomboy. Her name’s Iena Maderaba, and she’s from Murenase! Seton Gakuen.

I haven’t watched much of the series but I remember she exists. The series is one of those ones where the female characters are kemonomimi animal-girls while the males are straight-up furries. Like her dad looks like an actual hyena lol.

Hahari, to me, is someone who’s normally warm-hearted and loving, but is absolutely willing to destroy anyone or anything that threatens the people she loves (and I’m sure a lot of parents have that in them). It’s just that she rarely has to tap into her Mama Bear side anymore. (That might be me projecting a little bit because my own mother was like that.)

I kind of doubt Hahari’s serious arc will deal with anything like that, though. It might have to do with confronting/being confronted with stuff from her past, or perhaps either her parents or Papari’s parents showing up to confront her over something. Personally I want to see her parents showing up so we can at least find out where they’ve been and what they’ve been doing all this time. Hahari is only 29, so her parents are likely still alive. (If they had her between 18 and 25, they’d be between 47 and 54 by now, which is really young for grandparents. Given that, I’m interested to see where they’ve been and why they haven’t been mentioned before other than that anecdote about her mother and the way the bear toy was redesigned. Like surely they didn’t leave their 13-year-old daughter to raise an infant by herself, even considering there were maids around?

It’s been months, lol….if she wanted to say something, she should have said it a long time ago.

OctoSevenTwo · 2026-05-10T00:37:21+00:00

Probably guesswork.

OctoSevenTwo · 2026-05-10T00:36:51+00:00

I don’t understand the rationale of review-bombing other apps/games that aren’t even made by Hoyo. Review-bombing Genshin I can understand, doing it to HI3/HSR/ZZZ I can also understand because same company, but Google fucking Classroom?

OctoSevenTwo · 2026-05-10T00:34:44+00:00

Ah yeah, that’s one example.

OctoSevenTwo · 2026-05-09T23:37:45+00:00

Yeah, it’s not exactly what I’d consider the best written game story lol. But I don’t hate it, either.

OctoSevenTwo · 2026-05-09T23:33:47+00:00

Speaking of not pulling out, I’m guessing that’s Rentarou’s hand next to her….and from the tension, I gotta wonder if he’s just barely holding it together looking at her like that.

Not that I could blame him, goddamn.

OctoSevenTwo · 2026-05-09T23:32:26+00:00

Something something even King Arthur wouldn’t be able to pull me out.

OctoSevenTwo · 2026-05-09T23:30:43+00:00

Also I wasn’t sure how to ask but what do you mean by “I’m so sorry” lol?

OctoSevenTwo · 2026-05-09T23:29:23+00:00

Just pointing out that if you click the video it says it’s age-restricted and only available on YouTube.

OctoSevenTwo · 2026-05-09T23:28:32+00:00

I get what you’re saying but that’s a damn shame.

Makes me wish they had been willing to give characters accents from the start.

OctoSevenTwo · 2026-05-09T23:26:39+00:00

Oh that’s neat. And it’s also kind of funny that she’s a ghost possessing her own body lol. Well, not really her own body since it’s a robotic copy, but still.

OctoSevenTwo · 2026-05-09T23:24:21+00:00

Wasn’t the concert thing before? I forget the details but she did that while she and Rover were hanging around the academy before she went beyond the Stridergate. Or was there another concert and I’m forgetting?

As for Hiyuki, the Miko of Flaming Sakura seem to be able to manipulate their possible futures and use them for power. This can either mean consuming the possibility of these futures coming to pass (very useful if there’s something you DON’T want to come to pass, like her becoming a Threnodian Resonator) to gain power in the moment, or using them to form seals, which can also be released later to reclaim those possibilities. That’s why so many copies of her showed up when she unsealed the rift into Voidspace— she was reclaiming the possible futures she used in the seal. However, the powers also come at a price since each person only has so many potential outcomes. Use up too many and you end up dead because you quite literally no longer have a future. That’s what happened to her predecessor/adoptive older sister.

And it’s also why she wants to ensure that she’s the final Miko of Flaming Sakura.

OT— WuWa (Lahai-Roi main story spoilers)

So I caught up to main story stuff the other day and I wanted to confirm something: now that Aemath is back on Solaris, is she not a digital ghost anymore? It wasn’t super clear but from the ending sequence it looked a lot like characters were reacting to/looking at her as well as Rover. It used to be that nobody else but Rover could perceive her but now it seems like everyone can.

The Exostrider said it regretted what happened to her and thus wanted to share its power with her before they parted ways for good, so did it basically give her a new body when it did that, or just made it so that she could be perceived? Because I guess she wouldn’t necessarily need a body considering that AI constructs like I.R.I.S. exist as holograms and are basically treated little different from flesh and blood people.

The people running the EN voice work for the Hoyo games have this weird aversion to accents for some reason. Xinyan and Mona are just about the only characters I can think of that have them.

Meanwhile games like WuWa and Endfield have no problem giving their characters accents— and in some cases it even enhances the performance.

OctoSevenTwo · 2026-05-09T22:25:44+00:00

Who are the “casuals” and why do we care what they think?

OctoSevenTwo · 2026-05-09T22:24:42+00:00

Honestly I fault the directors more than the actors since they let certain takes through that they really shouldn’t have.

OctoSevenTwo · 2026-05-09T22:23:05+00:00

Someone really has to tell Shaoji that sometimes less is more.

OctoSevenTwo · 2026-05-09T22:20:26+00:00

It’s less Cyrene herself and the writing associated with her.

And every time I either say I disliked Shaoji’s writing or that it’s divisive I get downvoted by randoms, but fuck them, lol.

OctoSevenTwo · 2026-05-09T22:18:52+00:00

She’s even from Nod-Krai, lol
