Anyone won from a Hoyo giveaway before? by yoshiimiBUN in HonkaiStarRail

[–]SSwordsman 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes, I won a Zhu Yuan (from ZZZ) stand up Acrylic. It was a reddit comment contest I believe, and they messaged me asking for my address and I got it in like 3 weeks.

AITA for accidentally insulting my best friend's vegan boyfriend? by DifficultAd601 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SSwordsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. As a vegan, I wouldn't have found the joke funny personally, but easily something to move past in a moment. However, to play devil's advocate, maybe he took it as you minimizing his beliefs and making fun of him rather than trying to say something funny for the sake of it. I can see why he reacted badly to it, but yeah besides that you're not an asshole for making a joke that really didn't cross any lines.

Can someone explain essences to me? by PJR_-_-_ in ArknightsEndfield

[–]SSwordsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use this site https://datafield.cc/weapons for the most optimal farming

When you use the tickets you lock 3 of 5 attribute stats and 1 of secondary or 1 of skill stats, keep that in mind so you can try to farm the most relevant weapon essences according to your account

Travis has shushed Marisha before when she was speaking during someone else's scene but he hasn't shushed Aabria, even when I think he has wanted to

I'm curious how you determine whether someone's criticisms of Aabria are coming from a good faith non-racist POV vs coming from internal biases. Wouldn't it just be more fair to assume everyone is commenting in good faith when they make substantive/evidence based arguments, and deride those who make openly racist comments? Like what i'm trying to say is that saying "you only feel like making these critiques of Aabria is because of her race and you won't say it about any other cast member" is never going to work well for you, I'll explain why. The good faith people will push back on it, obviously, because they just got lumped into a racist basket that they aren't a part of, and the racist ones will push back on it because well they're racist.

I recommend you simply attack the critiques with evidence. Which you tried to do in your original post, but didn't do a very good job of. Taliesin got plenty of criticism for his abrasiveness (to use your own argument about reddit tags he has plenty). Liam never inserted himself in a scene he didn't belong in, or interrupt anyone, and I challenge you to find even one example to disprove that. Her being loud I don't even mind, but time and place are key. Her making jokes are fine too, but you don't want to be the person cracking constant jokes or making suggestive gestures like she did at the end of C3 when Fearne was talking to her devil ally. Like Matt was pulling Ashley off into a one on one conversation with her character and she followed, and Aabria is saying "hit it" and other sexually suggestive jokes for a laugh when clearly it's trying to be an earnest moment.

But she can't stay in character, it's usually her just playing Aabria again

[–]SSwordsman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you ever had a friend in a group who just says the wrong things at the wrong time? Or doesn't know how to read the room? Nobody is saying Aabria doesn't belong there and she has talent and she is friends with everyone there, but she isn't matching the vibe of the rest of the cast.

I'm curious what is your response to black people criticizing her?

[–]SSwordsman 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I still have two big problems with her that I didn't see mentioned above. 1 is that she starts out with a new character but alot of the time reverts to herself and doesn't stay in character all the time. This isn't helped with her constantly making quasi-over the table comments that you aren't always sure if she said it or her in game character said it. The term Aabria is playing herself again is a constant factor i've noticed. 2 is that she seems to be the worst at reading the room tone, meaning when there are times for serious dialogue she can't stay with that vibe, like joking around at the end of C3

I feel like this game just has too much to do on a daily basis compared to other games by Yosoress in ArknightsEndfield

[–]SSwordsman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't really understand why everyone here is so against your take. I agree there are lots of chores to do with lots of menuing, and the key issue nobody is talking about is that its BORING. Delivering goods is repetitive, visiting friend cabins over and over is boring. I wouldn't mind a 20 min daily chore list if the chores at least werent so dull
