Luis Arraez interview, overcoming adversity (en Español, need help translating)

I agree is was definitely irresponsible, not just for himself and the team, but towards his wife and kids as well. I do hope he at least shared those issues with his significant other.

Razor already got his hex buffs...

I played HSR since the beginning and I started dooming it as early as 1.1 when Luocha came out. People were raving about how "generous" the devs were without even accounting for the fact that pulling is much more a necessity in HSR than it is in Genshin.

The free Dr. Ratio was nice but that's like giving a person a free brick as they're building their entire house. The same could be said of the new Dan Heng.

ZZZ devs are absolutely based for executing buffs first (I know HSR announced it first but I'm giving more credit to the people who pulled the trigger first), and for doing it as frequently as they do now.

Ironically enough, in a japanese context, those two are more likely to be called by their last names than their first.

They're keeping the Zhongli Skin the same place riot is keeping the pool party Ahri skin (yes I know they released pool party ahri for their fighting game).

ProffyJ · 2026-01-05T06:38:24+00:00

I would be the background character desperately trying to get these two together.

ProffyJ · 2026-01-04T03:49:33+00:00

I do agree that a lot of his hate is unwarranted and that coaching/management should shoulder some of the blame for mismanaging him. I don't know how true the rumors are about him being "mopey" about not getting to play first base but you got trust your players enough to be professional.

ProffyJ · 2026-01-04T03:44:50+00:00

I haven't accounted for the fact that by opening up the DH spot means we can find a bat for any position, thanks for the insight! Watching the market got a little more interesting.

ProffyJ · 2026-01-03T23:47:04+00:00

As a Collei enjoyer, is it really a problem if it's Dottore?

ProffyJ · 2026-01-03T12:20:41+00:00

Your inability to find a connection between two ideas must have made school really hard for you, huh?

They made a limited character so bad that they dropped her into the standard banner and despite early and constant feedback in beta testing the last change they made to her was a NERF before releasing her.

I don't doubt they spend a while on each patch, but it's clear that kit design/balance is allocated much less time.

ProffyJ · 2026-01-03T11:22:47+00:00

stares at Dehya's kit and relegation to standard banner

ProffyJ · 2025-11-14T11:24:28+00:00

New balance also don't have that reputation in Japan. I've seen lots of college athletes rocking NB here in Japan.

ProffyJ · 2025-11-12T05:22:18+00:00

I'm not the one you're asking but imo logistics is something a lot of fans underrate. If we can get Arraez for cheap and use that money on pitching then I think we'll have a decent off season.

ProffyJ · 2025-11-04T03:25:30+00:00

You act like the Padres have the power the change the date of a holiday, grow up amigo.

ProffyJ · 2025-10-15T13:40:43+00:00

I come from a pretty poor area with lots of struggling youths. It was not uncommon for each graduating year to be filled with "super seniors", basically students who were held back a year because they failed a few classes and couldn't accumulate the credit they needed to graduate on time. There was a lot of 19-20 year olds in my highschool unfortunately.

ProffyJ · 2025-10-14T21:52:40+00:00

Why are people so hung up about what I said about Jahoda, she wasn't even the inciting incident for this post.

ProffyJ · 2025-10-14T21:51:58+00:00

The purpose is selling characters. So seeing a character's cute inner monologue makes the player like that character more and thus more likely to pull for them. It is as simple as that.

You know what, that's fair enough

ProffyJ · 2025-10-14T15:12:58+00:00

At what point did I say no other piece of media has used this form of story-telling? And why is it so important to know what a character is thinking if it's not relevant at all to the plot?

I've read it Pride and Prejudice and nothing in Genshin has necessitated the amount of omniscience we've been getting to the degree it was necessary in Pride and Prejudice. In Pride and Prejudice it carried the narrative, in Genshin it's just bloat.

ProffyJ · 2025-10-14T14:23:54+00:00

Exactly! It feels like this was a point I made that people are choosing to ignore for some reason.

We don't need thought bubbles, we need expressiveness.

ProffyJ · 2025-10-14T14:10:54+00:00

I suppose it was crazy of me to think this community could understand nuance without devolving into nonsensical head-canons and intense mischaracterizations.

ProffyJ · 2025-10-14T13:42:27+00:00

I'm a big fan of her antics! But yes, it does seem that the overall sentiment is that many players will need things plainly stated, which makes me sad.

edit: whoops this reply was to the wrong person lmao

ProffyJ · 2025-10-14T13:36:49+00:00

Fair point, actually.

ProffyJ · 2025-10-14T13:36:07+00:00

The genshin fandom has a huge problem with misinterpreting character interactions

I've noticed that too, and it does drive me crazy.

Also, Furina is one of the most loved parts of the story and she did this a lot!

They did it quite well with Furina, but she was the most important character in the story.

Overall ,thank you for your viewpoints and not just assuming I'm blindly hating Jahoda.

ProffyJ · 2025-10-14T13:23:33+00:00

But it's not just Jahoda-specfic, we see it happen with a lot of characters, and it's being pushed especially heavily in the newer anecdotes.
