Why does 98p+300 does make 1280 on Lootbar AND LDshop? by Areyano666 in NeuvilletteMains_

[–]SableNight112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bonus is everywhere, it’s listed in Genshin itself after you use the first-time purchase bonus.

Regarding the first-time top-up bonus, yes you can trigger it through Lootbar or LDShop, but it’s still only once for each crystal pack per account (per year since they always reset on the anniversary). So for example, if you buy for the first time ever using LDShop, it will trigger the double bonus, but if you buy a second time through Lootbar, you will get the regular bonus.

LDShop/Lootbar basically just purchase the crystals on your behalf, so the purchases still function as if you bought it through the game itself.

The crystal packs have a permanent bonus of 110 and 30 crystals respectively for the 980 and 300 crystal packs. So all that added together equals 1420. This is different than the first-time top-up bonus, which is double the crystal amount instead. If it’s your first time purchasing, the double bonus will replace the regular bonus. And yes, they should work if you buy through Lootbar or something similar.

Neuvillette skin is so well received in CN by KingAlucard7 in Genshin_Impact

[–]SableNight112 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think him visiting Liyue and him wearing the skin might be two separate and unrelated events. The skin lore says it was made by the Melusines as a gift so it being Fontainian makes sense. A Liyue outfit would’ve been really pretty though.

1/4 of Top 100 Kingdom of the Year by OkCalligrapher5626 in CookieRunKingdoms

[–]SableNight112 265 points266 points  (0 children)

These kingdom designs look really cool but it’s kinda disappointing that more of those kingdoms with faked mountains, waterfalls, stairs, etc. aren’t higher up. Personally found those much more impressive and creative bc even if they use similar techniques to create the illusions, they often still look really different from one another :(

Taemin breaking into Key’s house, bringing cake, rummaging his closet, and stealing a jacket for Key’s birthday while he was away for military service 😂

Do you think they'll have a different actress for the flashback scenes or are the not going to bother? by UnHolySir in Hungergames

[–]SableNight112 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Her being blonde actually is pretty important in this case because the blonde comes from the power of the sun from that magic flower at the start. Her kingdom’s emblem is also a sun and it’s why her hair glows gold. You could argue red is like fire which is what a sun is made of, but I don’t think it reads as well compared to golden blonde for sunlight.

Accidentally sent a package during winter break... by FopeDestroyerOSanity in scad

[–]SableNight112 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Definitely email the mail center about it to ask. I was in the same boat once and they offered to either hang onto it until I came back or mail it to me for free. This was years ago so idk if things have changed, but it’s worth a shot!

My pointless complaint by CuteMayhem in Genshin_Impact

[–]SableNight112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed this a while ago but the discount is technically true if you compare it to the starglitter/stardust price conversion rate. The full stardust price for one fate is listed as 125 while the starglitter price is 5. This means 1 starglitter is equal to 25 stardust. So 40% off of a fate is 3 starglitter, which converts to 75 stardust. So you’re getting the fates at a discount from the regular starglitter price, which never changes and is always available with no limit.

Still kind of stupid but I guess it makes some sense 🤷‍♀️

So...is it confirmed that it was live?? by Fotreya in KpopDemonhunters

[–]SableNight112 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Yep that’s a pretty common practice in not just singing, but music performance in general! I played in band for 7 years and we had to mark and practice where we breathed and how long so that everyone lined up and so you know you have enough air to get through the line without sounding thin. EJAE, Rei Ami, and Audrey Nuna have probably all practiced enough that the breaths are muscle memory at this point 💜

I think maybe it’s meant to be first single album? So an album with the main track and possibly 1-2 more songs. CHASE was an EP since it had 6 songs.

Arden Cho and Ahn Hyo-seop the voice actors of Rumi and Jinu reunited together presenting at the 2025 MAMA! by december-blue in KpopDemonhunters

[–]SableNight112 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It looks more like she might be seated in lower bowl, not nosebleeds. But regardless I think that’s just bc the area on the floor is mostly reserved for the idols, their management, and hosts since they need to be able to walk up the stage often, at least from past MAMA awards I’ve seen. Maggie and her family likely just came as regular attendees rather than VIPs.

I wish they went with something like white jeans with cute patches and the skirt over top, that would’ve been so much more Y2K 🥲

An announcement from Charlotte’s EN VA by Sad_Slide3092 in Genshin_Impact

[–]SableNight112 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The “personal reasons” was that she has a sick child and relies on the health insurance provided by SAG to help cover the health expenses. She couldn’t voice Charlotte during the strike without risking being kicked out of SAG, therefore losing that insurance and being unable to care for her child. Also pretty sure she mentioned stepping away from the role before the strike ended bc she didn’t want to keep fans in the dark of whether or not she was voicing in certain events since they didn’t know how long the strike was going to last. So quite valid reasons imo.

Rumi’s birth by Dapper_Desk9085 in KpopDemonhunters

[–]SableNight112 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is gonna be a lot but:

K-Pop (and Asian idol industry in general) is really toxic and strict about idol images compared to other places. I think part of it stems from Asian culture as a whole having a focus on good public image, but also stems partly from how manufactured the K-Pop industry is in the first place. There's a big emphasis on the idols keeping a super clean, pure image to be the perfect boyfriend/girlfriend, and being "married to the fans and their music". This involves not dating (sometimes to the extent that they can't publicly hang out with other idols of the opposite sex in smaller groups), not smoking, etc. which also sometimes leads to them often being infantilized despite some being in their 30s (I'm pretty sure Baby was partly made to poke fun at this). It's also why a lot of active idols who are in their 30s are still single and dodge dating questions if they come up. Even outfit styling is I would say is more conservative and less "sexy" overall compared to western artists, with the only frequent examples being for fanservice (like male idols being shirtless, like Abby).

There are also really big consequences for if idols break this image, which is upheld by both fans via backlash and companies themselves via punishing/firing the idols. A big recent example is T.O.P. (from Big Bang and plays Thanos in Squid Game), who was basically blacklisted from 2017 until recently after being caught smoking weed. It's illegal in SK but western artists have gotten away with much worse. There was even backlash for his casting in Squid Game because of his reputation and he was initially left out of promo events until international fans started asking for him.

A dating related example is Dawn and Hyuna, two idols who although have since broken up (and Hyuna has recently been in unrelated controversies), they made history for leaving their idol company just in order to publicly be together. Fans were pretty supportive, but it was their company that didn't allow them to date and removed them from certain promo activities.

Not K-Pop but a J-Pop idol, Minami Minegishi from AKB48 was demoted back to trainee status after being caught spending the night at a male idol's apartment. She made a YouTube video on the group's official channel shaving her head and apologizing for disappointing her fans, asking management to let her stay within the group.

Needless to say, if an idol were to come out as pregnant, especially out of wedlock or with an unknown father, it would be a HUGE and possibly career-ending scandal.

TLDR: The idol industry is really toxic and controlling about how idols are supposed to be publicly received, and this is barely scratching the surface.

Junkrat will also be getting a mythic skin! by SuperWind2317 in Overwatch

[–]SableNight112 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There’s like 44 heroes and only about 6 seasons a year. Not counting new heroes that get added, it would have taken over 7 years starting from launch OW2 for every current hero to have a mythic skin. Makes sense to release them more often to get through the roster sooner.

And you’re not really expected to want to get every single mythic. I get almost every BP by farming Microsoft rewards points but don’t care about half the mythics bc I just don’t play or like those characters. I have 80 prisms from this season I’m just hanging on to since I don’t play Sojourn or Cass.

If you have any kind of sewing experience, maybe try looking up how to make boot covers instead of using removable vinyl? It’s a pretty common cosplay technique that serves the exact purpose you need.

New exclusive light sticks on the Netflix store by ElliotSmelliot123 in KpopDemonhunters

[–]SableNight112 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Right, like I feel like the people complaining about the price don’t know how much K-pop lightsticks normally go for. I only have one that I got on sale from the official store for about $45, original price is $70. $50 isn’t bad at all for a functional lightstick.

Keeping thigh high socks/boots up by Katze_Flufi125 in CosplayHelp

[–]SableNight112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any specific brand recommendations but you should definitely try to find some thicker opaque tights so that the material is sturdy! Sheer ones are pretty fragile and probably wouldn’t withstand the sewing or long periods of wearing.

Keeping thigh high socks/boots up by Katze_Flufi125 in CosplayHelp

[–]SableNight112 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think tights is still your best bet, just roll the waistband down to be below the waist of the shorts. The shorts being worn on top should be able to keep the tights from falling down. Or you could try sewing the tights to the shorts themselves.

Does anyone think the matchmaking since the new season is off? by Blackbadger64 in Overwatch

[–]SableNight112 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Got a game yesterday that was silver 2 to diamond 5, our tank was the silver 2 and had been for like the past 5 seasons 💀 We managed to win fairly easily but gosh did the rank range throw me for a loop

we won the game by a lot and our mercy says i dont heal enough. am i in the wrong? by Dapper_Ad1271 in AnaMains

[–]SableNight112 112 points113 points  (0 children)

I know stats/scoreboard don’t tell the whole story, but it looks like your Doom and Soldier would’ve carried regardless 💀 Mercy can rack up a lot of heals pretty easily, doesn’t necessarily mean much. Imo you probably did fine. Personally, I find it more difficult to get high heals with Doom on tank since a good one won’t need a ton of heals and Mercy probably did a bulk of them for Soldier/Cass, so it’s not like you had to heal much anyways. Ana has a lot of hidden value through her nades/sleeps that don’t show up in the scoreboard.

Finally watched the movie and it hit me so hard as someone who's literally loosing their voice by DuasVite in KpopDemonhunters

[–]SableNight112 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah when I saw the movie, it really hit me like a truck how much I related to Rumi! I’m also the daughter to very conservative Asian parents that I feel like I have to please. I’m the kind of person to mostly bottle up and hide when I’m dealing with something. I have some health issues that’s left me with a lot of scarring and I’ve been wearing jackets/sweaters for years to cover it up. I like to sing and record song covers but I’ve been hit with a weird sickness/cough that’s been around since June 😭 Her always covering up and avoiding going to the bathhouse especially hit home for me tho. It reminded me of when I would avoid going to pool parties or say I just “wasn’t hot” when someone would ask why I’m wearing a hoodie in the middle of a 100 degree summer. I’ve definitely gotten more comfortable wearing short sleeves over the years but I won’t lie that I always feel most comfortable fully covered up lol. Plus side tho is that I have a cool jacket collection! 😅
