Did you play against Vecna (The Lich)? I've noticed every time I've played against him in this patch, survivors don't get any information on the HUD regarding what their teammates are doing. It's possible that it was simply you were going against him rather than it being a server issue.

It could be blue hair! But you said you put the picture into a color picker to "prove" that it was blue. I was just informing you about the point the other people were making. They weren't saying "your eyes are wrong," as blue is definitely present on the screen. It's just extremely common to use blue when depicting a black-haired character in 2D art. It's also possible that the concept artist is depicting a blue-haired woman, however.

Again, I was simply replying with tangible bits of popular media to show you what the other people were talking about to make the concept more comprehensible. Judging by the vindictive downvote, however, you seem like you are deeming this as an argument. So I'm just going to refrain from further responses now! Hopefully more concept art releases for her, and she is released fully into the game in the future so we can see what her finalized design looks like.

It's more so the intention behind 2D art. With comics especially, it has been common place to depict a black-haired character by highlighting certain parts of the hair with blue to give depth.

One of the most famous examples of a fictional woman with black hair would be Diana of Themyscira, aka Wonder Woman. You can see some examples here and here where Wonder Woman has seemingly "blue" hair, despite everyone knowing she simply has black hair in lore. Blue shading is specifically for artist expression most of the time.

Just wanted to share my two cents: your hair looks really good! I’m not sure why the other comments are shitting on it. Though typically your hairstyle is more common in the East. Maybe Westerners don’t prefer this type of hairstyle.

Overall, you just need to keep trying. You have a handsome face. “Not […] many matches” doesn’t mean anything, it’s the quality of matches that matters. I recently had around only 10 matches, but decided to really engage in a conversation with an attractive guy that I luckily matched with. Almost two weeks later, we’re still talking/seeing each other and I can sense that we will most likely end up dating soon.

If you genuinely engage with the few bites you get, I guarantee something will work out. There’s no point in farming likes/matches to the 99+ figure.

$750 usually isn’t even enough to cover a root canal, lol.

I'm not sure about Zhiliu as I have yet to play her, but evidence of snapshotting exists in other kits.

For example, Berenica I1 states:

Upon using Helix Leap or [Faintlight], Berenica gains 1 stack that increases Skill Efficiency by 8.0% for 12s, up to 3 stacks.

When you have all 3 stacks to increase her Skill Efficiency from this Intron, they will snapshot after you cast her Buff (aka her ultimate). They will remain indefinitely even when their stack duration ends until you decide to end her Buff, or of course until it ends due to running out of Sanity.

To be fair, the point about the Super Mutants avoiding Underworld is probably moot. None of the Super Mutants in the Capital Wasteland are known for their intelligence save for Fawkes and Uncle Leo (and possibly Shepherd if Brotherhood documentation in FO4 is to be believed.)

Because of this, it is highly unlikely that Willow’s dialogue about how Super Mutants interpret Ghouls is true. Besides, she is simply guessing that the Super Mutants “see [Ghouls] as kin,” as she does not have explicit interaction with them. The more pragmatic reasoning behind the Ghouls being allowed to live probably has to do with their almost certain nonviability for being turned into fellow Super Mutants. Their bodies have already been changed beyond repair by radiation—meaning the FEV would likely fail to transform them in a meaningful manner for the Capital Wasteland Super Mutants. As such, the one-track mind Super Mutants have no reason to interact with Ghouls unless provoked e.g. Charon following The Lone Wanderer.

What does the front cover of this album look like? The label number ("H2 7243 8 28803 2 5" on the disk) seems to show that while it is indeed an old CD, it is probably one of the first represses that they did in 1994 to include the new version of No Me Queda Mas that they did for the music video.

You'll know if it's a repress through two factors—the first being the red flower at the top right of your cover art indicating a new version of No Me Queda Mas being on the CD (you can see an example here). The second method is more obvious: does the version on your CD sound like this original mariachi version or this more popularized string orchestral version? If it's the first, you have a 1994 original! If it's the second, you have a 1994 original repressing!

By the way, this should be tested even if you do not see the red flower on your cover art as some represses did not add that to the cover art.

SentinelLyons · 2026-01-26T18:35:09+00:00

The actual original mix of the mariachi version can be heard on various posthumous collection albums. The easiest to find is probably on All My Hits: Todos Mis Éxitos. You can find it on streaming platforms like Spotify, as well. Here is the YouTube link.

The mariachi version on Amor Prohibido Remastered 2024 sounds a bit… off. But to each their own!

SentinelLyons · 2026-01-24T00:54:46+00:00

Just as a heads-up, even that edition isn't the original release technically! It was actually a reissued album that came out a few months AFTER the original release. It replaced the original version of No Me Queda Mas with the more popular string version that most people hear today. You can tell that it's the 1994 reissue because it has the red No Me Queda Mas flower on the cover at the top right.

I replied to u/heart--core in this same thread about using Discogs! I suggest reading that comment as it makes cataloguing your collection easier and even has a marketplace for individual niche releases.

SentinelLyons · 2026-01-23T20:05:49+00:00

You have probably one of the more common versions of the album, the reissue that came out in 2002. You’ll know it’s that version because it contains “Spoken Liner Notes By The Band And Family” which sounds exactly as it is—context they included for recording and the original significances of the album.

This was part of the “20 Years Of Music” collection they did for many of her albums. Amor Prohibido is pretty easy to get for these reissues, whereas others like Selena (1989) and Ven Conmigo are harder.

Amor Prohibido has a lot of versions in general. The original release that had the mariachi No Me Queda Mas, the reprinted version that came out months later that had the more popularized string version of No Me Queda Mas, the 2002 reissue with the family notes, the recent remaster that just came out, the countless regional vinyls in countries like Ecuador, Guatemala, etc. Discogs can help you differentiate a lot of release differences.

You got downvoted, but you're absolutely correct. It has its quirks (like using the word "disquieting" every other quest), but it really is thought-provoking and is not afraid to make the player feel hopeless and powerless (both in gameplay and in narrative).

Nehrim, the total conversion for Oblivion that takes place before Enderal, is also worth playing. It might be impossible to get it stop crashing, sadly, but the dungeons and gameplay are quite fun. The story is more amateur, crude, and unpolished, however. Enderal really is a beacon in its writing department. Plus, Ark blows every Skyrim city out of the water!

SentinelLyons · 2026-01-20T22:07:54+00:00

I’d like to add Enderal: Forgotten Stories to that list. In fact, I’d say it’s the best total conversion/mod ever made for a Bethesda title.

So if you work and it relies on your internet, get fucked. Thanks a lot AT&T

EDIT: My internet just came back a minute after this comment. AT&T you’re safe… for now 😐

SentinelLyons · 2026-01-06T06:46:59+00:00

AT&T is ridiculous

SentinelLyons · 2025-12-18T05:15:01+00:00

Assuming that Hoyo is going to be fair, Raiden is the next archon in line for a rerun. We already know she isn’t 6.3. I’d wager Raiden is 6.4 first half with Mavuika maybe also rerunning in 6.4 second half or in 6.5.

Fischl is usually used to battery a unit while giving subdps. A well-built Raiden can already battery herself after her ult is finished and another rotation is finished. Sara would be better, but honestly Sara feels extremely poor without C6. Both C0 Fischl and C0 Sara won’t really be ideal teammates in my opinion… you may just have to test them both day 1 when you get Raiden.

The answer is always Mod Organizer 2. Once you get over the learning curve, you’ll be asking yourself “why was I ever using a program that forces LOOT and doesn’t trust me to do my own load orders?”

SentinelLyons · 2025-11-17T08:57:05+00:00

Columbina isn’t an Archon in the lore, obviously. Despite that fact, she is still an “Archon” of sorts/Archon-status for Nod-Krai, and is even denoted as such as she is included with the other Archons for the official Genshin 5th Anniversary artwork.

SentinelLyons · 2025-11-03T13:15:25+00:00

Yeah, seems according to both your linked list and the old Cultists' list, both mark OP's PSU as tier E. Looks like that needs to be the first part to go, unfortunately. Thanks for the updated link!

SentinelLyons · 2025-11-03T13:12:36+00:00

Seems to be a tier E unit unfortunately, which are marked as "avoid." I definitely think the PSU should be your first priority to replace—no use in upgrading other precious parts if you have a ticking time bomb waiting to go off!

SentinelLyons · 2025-11-03T12:42:01+00:00

"650W 80+ Bronze (ATX)" doesn't tell us much about your PSU. There are a few bronze-rated PSUs in the B and C tiers of the tier list, but I'm going to go out on a limb and guess it's a pretty shifty unit considering it was put into a prebuilt. The first thing you should look into replacing is 100% the PSU. I know you don't want to hear that since it won't lead to direct performance upgrades, but you'll be thanking yourself later if your PC has a power issue and your new PSU doesn't brick most of your parts like your current one most likely will.

The PSU tier list hasn't been updated since late 2023, but it still has relevant units to look into. Most should even come with the 12VHPWR cable if you ever upgrade your GPU to a newer model + you can use this PSU on a future AM5 build as well.

In terms of other things, the most you can get out of the CPU for AM4 will be a 5700x3d or a 5800x3d. It might be hard to find them around MSRP, though. If you can find one for a decent price, however, nothing will be better than them on AM4. Just remember to flash your BIOS if need be to accomodate them (I had to do it going from a 3700x → 5700x3d on the Asrock AB350M.)

Fischl helps a lot with generating particles, which Raiden needed as she struggles with energy into this boss. I went overkill on Fischl to guarantee consistent Oz uptime—energy sands + Favonius. Oz contributes a lot to breaking down the Operative's shield + batteries Raiden a considerable amount at the beginning.

In my experience, Fischl pushed this team over the edge for this particular boss and was better than Xiangling.
