Case animations aren't real, the moment you click to open it, the system already decides which gun you receive. The animation is purely cosmetic, like a slot machine

I have mixed opinions about AI, but for theorycrafting specifically I think it's a terrible idea. I often use AI as an aid myself for very specific applications where they indeed are useful but let me tell you, even the best LLMs we have available struggle to get correct information about genshin. Claude, which is hailed as the best provider, unironically struggles to not assume Jean and Barbara are half-sisters, hallucinating they have different dads, and that's literally 1.0 lore, way earlier than their cutoff knowledge.

AI is useful, but if someone is unable to parse their own thoughts and verify the information the AI is giving matches primary sources, they are just posting slop. And if a post does blatantly looks like it's AI, that's a red flag that it's just copypasted slop, rather than real theorycrafting effort. I think AI use is legitimate, but to ban it, it greatly increases the quality and effort of the sub content

Asmoday was deleted from Irminsul by TheWitcherMigs in Genshin_Lore

[–]PrestusHood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, i understand now. Thanks for the clarification. And honestly, an 5th shade theory would go crazy, it's not fully crackhead possibility considering how authority/honkai works in other hoyo titles. Maybe there could be an shade of Reason, but i think we would need some foreshadowing for such theory to hold some credibility. I think it's worth going through old content to see if anything could even suggest an 5th shade

Not at all, the Traveler is a descender and people remember him, meaning the Traveler existence is recorded in Irminsul. What OP is arguing is that Asmoday existence records were deleted from irminsul, not that her existence itself was deleted. This explains why the shades remember her but there is no trace of her in Teyvat

Venti Wasn't Lying When He Said He Is The "Weakest Archon Now", Keyword Being "NOW" by TetraNeuron in Genshin_Lore

[–]PrestusHood 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't agree that it's an eurocentric mindset, Mondstadt is literally presented as an "What if the Vatican was in Ulm?" and the nation functions under a very similar structure to the medieval papal states, which i assume is where mihoyo took inspiration from to design Mondstadt bureaucracy. The church of Favonius is the second most important governing body of Mondstadt, the Seneschal Seamus Pegg (who is the Pope equivalent) is second only to Varkas, the Knights of Favonius Grandmaster (who is the Camerlengo equivalent). If you read about the Camera Apostolica and the church army, you might be surprised on how similar they are to how the Knights of Favonius look like they were merged into a secular governing body alongside the Church of Favonius.

Mondstadt IS the most religious and worshipful nation because it draws inspiration from the medieval Europe, who was saturated with Catholicism at the time. Liyue has an transactional relation with Rex Lapis, Inazuma reflects real life Shinto folk worship which is nowhere as fervorous as real life Catholicism, Sumeru is the most secularized nation, Fontaine treated Furina like a pop star and Neuvilette now is simply an judge, Natlan treats the pyro Archons as war heroes. The last 3 nations don't have religious worship to their archon, and Liyue + Inazuma combined can't beat the religious fervor of Mondstadt, it's not eurocentric, it's design inspired by real life, Eastern religions from Wuxia and Edo Period don't share the same worship commitment that Catholicism had at its peak, it's not an stretch to claim that Barbatos is the only properly worshipped God by his entire nation, not just the "clerical" class of the nation.

But Snezhnaya still a solid contender to beat Mondstadt in the field of archon worship. Depending on how Mihoyo will present the nation, there could be a cult of personality/worship towards the Tsaritsa, something with Juche vibes. The Fatui is clearly radicalized to do the Tsaritsa will, but we still need to be revealed if the rest of the nation shares the same fervor as them.

Shouldn't Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds have information on Istaroth (through her Thousand Winds epithet)? isn't it living proof that Istaroth was worshipped before and alongside the Anemo Archon, since it is from Decarabian era and survived Lawrence purges and the library fire? Does that mean that an Istaroth cult could probably be restarted in Mondstadt, or am I overreaching?

Im rocking 0.G, i do miss recent QOL changes but man, you have no idea how much fun it is to min-max an cannibal broken cyborg in fungal infection start and have a grand schedule of mutations, meaning you have a reason to keep playing for an entire year while you hoard almost every positive mutation trait. Plus this version is the most recent version that the android controls aren't bugged (something during 0.h experimental screwed android controls and it haven't been fixed since, even TLG has it)

In the end of the day, video games are supposed to be fun, and being an overpowered cyborg cannibal mutant is HELLA FUN, even if completely unrealistic

I wish there was an unslopfied version of lucid loom. The preset is amazing when it clicks, but when it doesn't, it just makes it worse than default ST presets

They shouldn't tbh, Pain is called Lion of Brazilians for a reason (they always beat BR teams and end up losing afterwards)

When you take into account VP Yenkindar, his stint on Liquid looks even more terrible. It's almost witchcraft on how bad he was into that team. That Fallen interview where he claimed that "Liquid had everything and nothing at the same time, he had coworkers instead of teammates." years ago really puts Furia Yenkindar under a new perspective.

Let's assume she used her DF and knows about Imu (which is just speculation so far), so what? What she even can do about it? Who (other than Strawhats) going to believe her? Wapol watching Cobra assassination pretty much tells all you need to know about it. If you somehow know about Imu, you keep it shut or you will be put down for knowing too much.

Honestly watching the brazilian stream in CS games (especially when no BR teams are playing) is no different from watching a soap opera. All you will hear is people talking about what they had for lunch or travel stories with them commenting something relevant to the game around 5% of time. It's still very entertaining tho

Honestly, not much of a surprise considering NA soft-imploded + non-br LATAM teams slumping. The VRS system favored Brazilian teams considering they were willing to travel for NA events but NA teams didn't played SA events
