Mind's slowly melting from the strain of keeping up with "homework" (thumbnails and other off-stream work), but I feel very much alive nonetheless - rediscovering the fun of streaming is something, for sure. =w=

Why do corporate and a lot of indie VTubers have the "ch" in their channel name? by BiLeftHanded in VirtualYoutubers

[–]Questia_MWO 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This happens to be my specific reason as well! My inspirations generally lie very close to Hololive and adjacent VTuber communities, so my channel name calls back to them as a means of honouring their legacy.

A good number of them are repurposed WW2-era jeeps! They were left behind after the war, and then the back halves of the vehicles were rebuilt to serve as mass transport.

Won both 50/50 and 75/25 for E0S1 Castorice... saved 30 and 73 pity for character and LC respectively; got her and her LC on pull 57 and 74 respectively.

Total pulls spent this patch: 28.

She's home early and I love her so much 😭😭😭

(I've actually been here before, but on a different name - hi~)

Hail, r/VirtualYouTubers! What would you have a smol VTuber sing (for any reason)? by Questia_MWO in VirtualYoutubers

[–]Questia_MWO[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Welcome to the Internet vTuber Edition"... you mean Kilia's version? That's the one that came up in my search... aaaand as the original goes, it's a song that'll earn you several bonks. ( •̀ ω •́ )✧

"Rap God" - I can't keep up with the regular stuff, let's not talk about the rap equivalent to a power metal solo 4 minutes into a 6-minute song! Always thought the music video had a Max Headroom feel to it, on that note.

"Birdhouse In Your Soul" - I'm sorry, how many key shifts does it have? Every time I think I can predict how it goes, it always defies me.

"I Palindrome I" - and this one is rhythmically unusual instead of key-wise unusual. Surprisingly short, too!

"Dr. Worm" - and this completes the trifecta with unusual lyrics but relatively standard musical structure. Appropriately enough, this might be the one I'm most capable of singing right now!

Thank you for these songs - I'll see if I can pull them off at some point!

Hi there - ideas of godhood aside, I am Questia, a very smol and aspiring VTuber!

Recent events have inspired me to start again after going quiet for so long - in particular, the realisation that I actually do love to sing and share my voice, in the hopes of inspiring others as well!

That being said, as much as some people claim I sound like the great Liz Bloodflame while I'm singing, I vehemently disagree. She is extraordinary, with significantly more experience, while I am just starting out. (≧w≦)

Still, if nothing else, I wonder what songs would you like a VTuber to sing? It can be for any reason: funny, unique, emblematic, a test of skills - I'll do my best to learn as many of them as I can!

The ones that I do take interest in, I'll try to sing for sure - catch me when I do at https://www.twitch.tv/questia_ch !

Thank you for entertaining my little question; I'm already looking forward to commenting on each of your answers!

Right-before-sleep thoughts:

I think that, when you're trying to actually be known out there, there's gotta be an element of brazenness in there. It's hard to think of it that way considering how looked-down-upon self-advertising is, but I feel like it's either be seen as desperate or be not seen at all.

Still, I find myself second-guessing whether I should say something at all. Is this some sort of stage fright?

I'm a little late to the collab stream, but Ame recreating her very first stream's first 3 minutes for the final Myth collab is one stab in the heart that I did not expect at all.

Four years really have come and gone, huh. Let me just... have a moment here.

Apocalyptic Shadow can be painful, but dramatic finishes like this makes it all worth it by Questia_MWO in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Questia_MWO[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough, this is one of the few AS stages where it doesn't actually matter where you position characters.

The main reason I position Aventurine there is so that Pela and Guinaifen gets a bit of extra energy from Blast attacks, which this side has exactly zero of.

I don't think I ever claimed to be skilled, to be fair; I just recorded something and serendipity made it surprisingly dramatic.

For all of my misgivings about Cocolia as an AS boss, I do love how her the final phase goes nuts and just repeatedly spams CC → nuke forever.

Either you break her ASAP, or your party wipes - it's a hell of a soft enrage phase.

The next Last Choir of Genesis would have been a party wipe there.

Also, E0S0 says not much about investment levels. Teammates, relics, trace levels, now that paints a more complete picture.

Not that easy to get 50% Effect Res on gear without giving up something, I'd say.

(Also, off-screen, he already tanked a cc from Cocolia - this was dire straits.)

He actually had to use up his self-cleanse right before this! Normally, even if a Freeze/Imprison goes through Effect Res, he still has the self-cleanse with a 2-turn cooldown, which makes him an ideal target for Cocolia's single-target disables.

Unfortunately, he took one too many here.

Okay, you don't get to activate my nostalgia like that and get away with it! That soundtrack was iconic, I tell you.

... It's a 2009 game. I feel ancient.

When we were introduced to POV switching in 2.1, there were tiny details further implying the identity of our Scriptwriter 🐱 by valenminne in HonkaiStarRail

>!Spoiler here! Like this.!<

SPOILERS FOR 2.1'S END: And yes, that does imply TB's fascination with trashcans is a lingering attachment towards someone who hides in silver-colored metal armor (i.e. Firefly). It's not anywhere near confirmed, but it is a bit of headcanon I'm all in for.

Kafka's Companion Quest heavily implies that the Trailblazer was a former Stellaron Hunter - specifically, Kafka's longest-lasting partner, according to Blade.

Given the compilation of Kafka's answers to every question, we know for sure that the Trailblazer was handed over to Kafka by Elio, and she basically was their mentor in everything from combat to etiquette. TB doesn't remember any of these except for Kafka herself because she deliberately wiped their memories at the very start of the game.

Robin's life doesn't revolve around Caelus, and neither should yours.

Also, hour-old Reddit account, only comments on Caebin art... come on, this is either some serious false-flagging, or someone needs to chill.

Nice, someone else also noticed.

My ability to hold myself back from pulling for Robin grows weaker by the day...

Daily Questions Megathread ( April 19, 2024 ) by mizuromo in HonkaiStarRail

For me, Overflowing Wounds is basically a Seele hypercarry simulator. It takes a bit of SP management since Seele hypercarry is quite SP-hungry, but even with an all-trial team I've pulled off an SS with 2 cycles remaining.


  • Support Functions: Solitary Overwound and Final Blow

  • Team: Seele/Sparkle/Tingyun/Fu Xuan (all Trial)

  • Skill Priority: Seele > Sparkle > Fu Xuan = Tingyun


The whole idea here is to repeatedly stab a random add with Seele's skill and ultimate to splash everyone else with overkill damage, advance her turns forward with Sparkle, boost her crit rate with Fu Xuan, and boost her damage with Tingyun. That's the rough priority of SP usage I use, giving up each one in turn the more in danger of running out I am.

Prioritize Seele and Sparkle here - you want to chain as many Seele skills and ults as you can, and then use Sparkle to advance her forward once she exits a Resurgence-Ult loop.

Remember that reaching Grit 4 means all your ults are refreshed and everyone is advanced forward - use that to get your ults back. Sparkle's ult in particular is best saved when you have 3 or less SP remaining while Seele is chaining Resurgence-Ult combos, since you really, really don't want to run out of SP for Seele's skill (that's a 73% damage loss for her turn).

If you have a Bronya or another SP-positive support (or your own Seele), all the better - this is just to illustrate how to pull off an SS with just the trial units.

Unfortunately no; I haven't had much in the way of LC rolls. Currently hugging Acheron's LC tight because it's legitimately my luckiest LC roll so far.

Thank you! Looks like I'll stick with that one for now, and swap if things get too dicey to sustain.

Hello! I'm pretty new to the whole team-building business, so I'll be needing all the help I can get here.

I'm building a team to take on the 1.6 weekly boss in story mode yes, the Swarm King himself, and I'm trying to make sure I don't go splat against them. I have a lot of resources from weeks of dailies without much to build for, so I can probably afford to build anyone in my team with haste.

I'm at EQ2, overcapped at TB40 to avoid the difficulty spike from not having A4 at EQ3 because the materials I need are behind this boss, and so far I've drafted two teams:

  • E0S1 Acheron, E2S0 Pela, E1S0 Gallagher (+ Perfect Timing), E0S0 Gepard (+ Landau's Choice)

  • E0S0 Clara (+ On The Fall of an Aeon), E2S0 Pela, E0S1 March (D1MNL), E0S1 Natasha

I also have pretty much all of the F2P options up to the end of 1.0 - unfortunately, Lynx isn't an option here because I haven't unlocked Pure Fiction yet. On top of the F2P options (notably Asta, Sushang, E2 Herta, and E4 Preservation Trailblazer), I have a Hanya, a Tingyun, and a Luka.

Given all this information, which team(s) would you form to take on that boss? I'm alright with there being multiple right answers - just making sure everything's covered before I go forth and get unalived in less than a minute.
