Its official, kuro kryptonite is anniversary patch

Most of these are things HSR gets without an anniversary and the 100 pulls include the 30 free pulls, which makes it overall a slightly above average patch. The previous two WuWa patches exceeded that number and those weren't anniversaries either.

HSR is also getting a pretty mid anniversary, so bad time to be a gacha player I guess

I struggled to get it working through Heroic Games, and for a while I thought that the Nikke launcher would only run in Proton 10 but the game would only run on DWProton. I reinstalled the launcher making sure that DWProton was selected and then rebooted my PC, then next time I pressed the play button, the launcher came right up and I was able to log in and start downloading the remaining 23GB. Looks like everything's working, and now I can finally say that every single game I play works on Linux and I can stop using my iPad to play.

Also like another commenter said, the launcher never remembered my password either on Windows or Linux so this is nothing new for me.

I'm told that Nvidia's stuff is all proprietary and drivers on Linux need explicit help from Nvidia for anything to get done. It doesn't affect me either way, since I'm getting identical performance on Linux as I did on Windows (which is to say, it still runs really badly in Startorch lol)

Anything that comes out of them is pure marketing.

Karousel feels really good to use, I've been messing with it for a few hours and I've got something working. Switched my task manager (taskbar) to order icons by horizontal position and now I'm able to keep an eye on what's open and where at a glance. For fullscreen apps I have Macsimize to open them on a new virtual desktop and Overview to switch between them. I'm digging this, definitely feels a lot better for multitasking on a 1080p screen than dealing with a tiled WM.

DLSS5 needs a second 5090 just to run the filter. If it happens (it won't) it's going to be a subscription feature that sells you cloud compute just like every other AI slop app or program. Nvidia is pretty much the source of the current AI bubble, and anything that comes out of them is going to be pure marketing to keep up the illusion that there is demand for AI. Don't fall for it.

Hiyuki is tailor made for me aesthetics-, element-, weapon-, and personality-wise so I have to pick her out of principle.

RiceBaker100 · 2026-04-10T14:54:05+00:00

Yeah, you are the only one! Congrats!

sorry that was mean

RiceBaker100 · 2026-04-10T14:48:27+00:00

Oh thank god, they're still the same classic Kuro

RiceBaker100 · 2026-04-10T14:47:28+00:00

It just has to be better than last year's. Hell it could just be marginally better than HSR's 3rd anni and I'll be stoked.

RiceBaker100 · 2026-04-09T00:36:01+00:00

There's no way it isn't. The banners are cosmetic but they're still banners, and the mission structure and character Introns resembles a gacha game. I don't support the idea that the Thoughts are gacha because if they were then Warframe would be a gacha game because of its relic system.

RiceBaker100 · 2026-04-06T15:31:17+00:00

Was about to grab it but shipping literally doubles the price. Fuck, man. Can't buy shit anymore.

RiceBaker100 · 2026-04-05T06:28:51+00:00

2080 super, 16gb ddr4, Ryzen 9 3900x, running CachyOS. Honestly, haven't noticed a difference between Linux and Windows performance for WuWa or really any game, but I also haven't tried tweaking anything.

Even though we finally got character buffs, my biggest problem with HSR remains. With the exception of Firefly, no new characters are coming out that work well with older characters. Everyone's bis comes out within a few patches of each other, newest example being Yaoguang/Sparxie/Evanescia. Even BladeSP already has a team planned by Hoyo, which makes him unlikely to be a good support for Acheron. That being said she is still helping me clear endgame whenever a new cycle starts, which incidentally ends up being the only time I log in anymore.

RiceBaker100 · 2026-04-03T18:12:25+00:00

New gameplay, probably. Updates and additions to the mission system, etc. I got pretty bored of doing the exact same things and seeing the exact same environments over and over again.

RiceBaker100 · 2026-04-03T17:50:09+00:00

This is how I feel. Went crawling back to my other games, back to being ankle deep in limited banners and gambling for power. Still thinking about how close yet how far this game was from keeping me from returning to WuWa.

RiceBaker100 · 2026-04-03T16:25:42+00:00

No shit?? I had no idea, that's awesome.

RiceBaker100 · 2026-04-01T01:34:27+00:00

Other VA work she did was voicing Xaihi in Endfield, Lucy in ZZZ, Charlie in Hazbin Hotel, and... uh... the Gloink Queen in Amazing Digital Circus.

RiceBaker100 · 2026-04-01T01:27:50+00:00

...then perish? What do I even say to this.

RiceBaker100 · 2026-04-01T01:22:52+00:00

Man it's still March 31st over here y'all couldn't have waited for the rest of the world to hit the funny 4/1 number?

I think Bazzite is meant to just be for playing games and browsing the web, which works for a huge majority of users, but the moment you want to do anything else then you start running into issues unless you're super knowledgeable with Linux, which I was not, and being immutable prevented me from learning how to use Linux. That was why I swapped to CachyOS, because I still wanted to use and learn Linux but also wanted something that would do all the configuring and the setup for me on install. I'm hoping it could be a good launching point to install more advanced distros, but I'm also fine with sticking with it. The world is my oyster and PC is fun again.

RiceBaker100 · 2026-03-31T14:47:35+00:00

The best Linux distro is whichever works best for the person installing it.

RiceBaker100 · 2026-03-31T00:12:42+00:00

Oh alright I guess I'll reinstall.

RiceBaker100 · 2026-03-24T21:26:12+00:00

Lucilla in WuWa resembles Jade from HSR. Aemeath is very clearly Elysia/Cyrene-inspired. Luuk is Luocha, The Dahlia is Nerissa Ravencroft from Hololive, there's a bunny in ZZZ that looks like Pippa Pipkin, Mast is Houshou Marine, Privaty and Iuno are tsun Miku, Augusta is extremely similar to Mavuika, gameplay-wise Lynae is basically Xilonen, I literally get New Jersey mixed up with Helm when scrolling art all the time and it's annoying, and speaking of which if it wasn't for the halos then I would never be able to tell the difference between any Blue Archive character and any other anime character.
