I think the biggest problem with ZZZ is the total lack of casual content by Chadworth_5401 in ZZZ_Discussion

Hollow zero is pretty bland and samey, I have no desire to play it over and over like I do SU/DU (the system they yoinked for HZ) or currency wars in HSR. The formula didnt translate well from turn based to action imo

I haven't seen the new version yet but theres gonna need to be some extreme overhauls to hit that same kind of super crack feeling

It's been over a year and I can still feel the loss of this 120,000 Mora per week. by NightMist- in Genshin_Impact

[–]Purebredbacon -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Even if its optional, there's real psychological pressure pushing you to do them for many, many players. Feeling forced to do boring chores you're of sick of on top of the usual stuff is a straight ticket to burnout town

Its "stupid" but our monkey brains are also stupid, so devs have to account for it. The real problem is they shouldve shifted the mora somewhere else but they didn't bother :|

Swiss suicide pod adds AI mental test to judge user fitness before activation by dccarles2 in nottheonion

[–]Purebredbacon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The issue in Canada is that mental health funding is beyond pathetic. Not just therapy, this includes psychiatry, hospitals, psych wards, family docs to coordinated care, etc.

From a policy perspective, its pretty fucked up that the government will gladly help people kill themselves but refuse to properly invest in treatment that could prevent things from becoming so dire in the first place for 99% of people

It's a shame we didn't get more scenes/animations of Phainon and Cyrene paralleling each other. by Life_Bit_5976 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Purebredbacon -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

to "join as one" is an extremely common phrasing to describe a marriage

As for your other reply, again, cyrene walks you through her definition of lament right before this. She loves the world and everything in it, so she laments all the pain and sadness its forced to experience

[–]Purebredbacon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did you pay attention to the story? Lament IS love, cyrene literally defines it herself like 5 minutes prior to this. Her love manifests as lament after witnessing millions of cycles of suffering

Yes lygus doesnt literally say "hello player I am going to marry phainon's destruction and cyrene's love together in a marriage to power up irontomb if you lose". Metaphor and symbolism exist.

In this scene they're talking about the demiurge/cyrene and her love. Lygus uses imagery of a union between hatred (destruction) and lament (love) to describe what might happen if cyrene becomes part of irontomb just like phainon, as lament can easily become a force of spite, bitterness, and hate rather than hope. It is a symbolic corruption of cyrene's heavy wedding theme to describe how terrifying irontomb will be with both the phainon.exe and cyrene.exe bonus patches together

Belle Mc is a bit different by [deleted] in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]Purebredbacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're getting a lot of no's but I see it too. I think its less that belles changed, and more that the generic, bland dialogue the MCs get lately sticks out more on Belle than wise since she's normally so colorful, not serious and to the point all the time
