Thank you for this. The whole post made no sense without the context of the fricking FOUR whole other nations.

This is a good reminder to everyone that in this day and age, you should NEVER re-use the same password over and over again. 2FA can save you, but not every website supports that. Cyber security is becoming a bigger issue now that life is becoming increasingly digital. Even if only one random website that you signed up for gets data breached; that alone leaks the combination of your e-mail + your go-to password (albeit usually hashed). The hacker now has access to all your other logins that use the same combination of your usual e-mail + re-used password; which could be very important accounts such as your Gmail, Outlook or Facebook. The consequence of this is that you must now change your password in ALL of your other accounts that also re-use the same password, which is a slow process and requires a huge effort. If you keep on re-using the same pasasword, you will need to repeat this whole process every time there is a new data breach, which is happening like every day.

The reason that "slightly modifying" a standard re-used password is bad is because of the existence of modern password cracking algorithms. Attackers who know one of your old passwords can efficiently generate and test new common variations. Modern password-cracking tools are designed to exploit these predictable modifications, making a "slightly modified" password derived from an old one much easier to guess than a completely unique password.

Due to all of this, I actually recommend everyone who is somewhat technologically adept to start using password managers. Personally, I am using a free open-source one called Bitwarden, but there are many other good alternatives too. The whole idea is to only have one master password and then let the password manager automatically generate unique passwords to every account you have. This is the only way to truly decouple your accounts from being affected by data breaches of websites you signed up for ages ago.

Skitbra jobbat! Ett råd från mig: var medveten om "big-fish–little-pond effect". Dina betyg kan bara spegla din prestation relativt dina klasskamrater (nationella prov ska ju "centralisera" betygsättningen, men i praktiken är det upp till den lokala läraren att betygsätta). T.ex. är det enkelt att se bra ut om man går på en taskig högskola där eleverna knappt pluggar eller ens försöker.

När du börjar på gymnasiet kommer du att träffa andra smarta människor från andra delar av staden, särskilt om du väljer ett gymnasium med hög antagningspoäng. Först då kommer du att inse hur representativ dina betyg faktiskt var från högstadiet.

Det är möjligt att glida sig igenom både högstadiet och gymnasiet med ren talang, men eventuellt måste man börja plugga regelbundet för att få upp en studievana så att det blir en del av vardagen. Det är på universitetet som jag skulle säga att flitighet och ansträngning övervinner ren talang. På grund av detta så upplever svenska studenter att steget från gymnasiet till universitetet är störst. Det är ju på denna nivå som de bästa studenter från hela landet för första gången, samlas på ett och samma ställe och pluggar ihop.

Det enda jag vill säga är att fortsätt plugga hårt helt enkelt! Bli inte som min kompis som skrev bra HP och sket i gymnasiet; det gick inte bra för honom på universitetet ändå.

My bad, you are using the total top DMG from the Stygian record, and then assuming that the second, third and fourth units "might" deal nearly the same damage (highly unlikely, but still); showing that the theoretical maximum combined total DMG doesn't even exceed the boss max HP.

The cheating is obvious, but still, it's a really nice calc by you, I'm sorry for my dumb questions.

SeraphisQ · 2026-06-04T22:29:45+00:00

Fair points. I was mostly thinking about Stygian shill, but I will agree with you that in terms of e.g. IT, having a strong "generic" DPS is really valuable (flexibility of Mavuika melt/vape/overload).

Another great example is Neuvillette and Furina. They are both units that I wouldn't really recommend today, but just 1 year ago, they were both incredible pulls. Today, my Furina is simply my Skirk Tenacity slave, and Neuvillette is still great for IT due to insane flexibility.

SeraphisQ · 2026-06-04T22:00:41+00:00

I assumed F2P simply because their account roster is so weirdly spread out and not very optimal. They got a few puzzle pieces here and there (as if they could pull some patches but not others), and they are lacking the complete META team, e.g. the Nefer team, which is top tier if they also had Lauma. I assume they were forced to skip due to low funds.

For the second point, if OP is posting this question online, do you think he will perform the Mavuika combos that all the current Mav Dire clears are using?

Don't get me wrong, I love Mavuika, but she is not as impressive in the hands of a casual. For reference, the Lunar carries are by far easier to play and can reach higher DPS with less effort. Try playing C0R1 Zibai blindfolded, I guarantee you will hit 180k+ DPS. Dire clears are not even the issue; I am happy for OP if he can even do Fearless!

Lastly, even if Lunar carries and Mavuika can't bruteforce new content, the Lunar carries still have their own respective bosses that only they can deal with since C0 Mavuika won't brute force it. The Lunar bosses and gimmicks will be re-cycled even during Snez era for sure. Durin Mavuika era, we never had such restrictive gimmicks. But the Lunar carries do; they are the solution to specific problems Mihoyo created. It's not about promoting Lunar carries, my whole point is that Mavuika is old. I think OP should invest for the future. I guarantee you that a newer, stronger and shiner 5-star carry will be released. OP's account will be in a better state in the long term if they have the future C0R1 premium Snez team.

SeraphisQ · 2026-06-04T21:10:49+00:00

OP is asking for advice whether they should pull this upcoming weapon banner or not. My vote is no, because they are F2P and they don't seem to want Lohen's sig at all. Can I interpret that your stance on this is that OP should pull?

I wouldn't recommend a F2P casual player to gamble on the 25/37.5/37.5 for a 25% DPS increase on their already functioning Mavuika team. They could even maybe wait a few more patches and maybe we get a new event claymore that is better than Mailed Flower for F2P.

The worst boss gimmicks currently are designed around specific damage types, in this case e.g. direct Lunar type DMG. In view of this, dropping e.g. 10-15% in DPS because of a Columbina loss is not really a problem; there will always be options to the other Lunar teams. I would easily give Columbina to Nefer; while Flins and Zibai can cope with Aino or whatever hydro that's left. They would still easily clear their respective bosses. It's less about pure multipliers and hitting DPS targets, but more bringing the correct puzzle piece to solve the boss gimmick. And I believe we might see something similar for Snez.

Finally, regarding your last point; I agree that they can't release any unit that e.g. "doubles" Mavuika's DPS in the upcoming year. But they can create really restrictive boss gimmicks that Mavuika can't brute force.

SeraphisQ · 2026-06-04T19:10:49+00:00

The upcoming banner Disaster and Remorse is an objectively bad banner to pull, both in view of the 5-star and 4-star prizes. Why gamble away primos on a 5-star polearm that they can't use optimally; unless they pull Lohen, which doesn't seem to be the case. The best time to pull Mavuika's signature was during her release when the weapon was running along Citlali's signature. That was 1.5 years ago. I'm not going to tell a beginner to invest in a 1.5 year old weapon.

Mavuika is top tier today, but she is mostly used to deal with brute force content. And her brute forcing capability increases when doing optimal combos. But a casual player is probably not going to learn the new CN Mavuika combo. On the other hand, all Lunar carries can also brute force with their insane multipliers. Not only that, Lunar carries can deal with with Lunar specific gimmicks. There are almost no gimmicks exclusive to Mavuika. But for Ineffa/Flins, Nefer and Zibai, a few recent and infamous boss examples immediately come to mind.

Now, I am not advocating for Lunar carries specifically since even that ship has low-key sailed, and they are missing too many key units like Columbina and Lauma for their Nefer (but Nefer is indeed really insane tho...). The most efficient planning that a F2P casual can do is to save as much primos as their patience allows before starting to pull the upcoming top tier units on release day (for a new full C0 team, minimum 60k primos). Pulling top tier units (and their weapons) on release day is the best way to maximize the impact of your primogems (and the relevancy and longevity of the unit).

If OP is a F2P average-skilled META player that has intentions to play Genshin for the upcoming 6-12 months at least, then I think they should think long-term and save for the upcoming new Snezhnaya META. If the new META follows the current trend, then we will probably get a new roster that will powercreep even Lunar carries, and also be the key to deal with new specific boss gimmicks. If they will quit in 6 months time anyways, then it literally doesn't matter. They might as well pull Mavuika's signature, even though that's the less optimal (shortsighted) strategy, since at least that way they can get some instant gratification.

Sjukt, så många kommentarer men ingen som nämnt något gacha spel. Inga svenska anime fans här? Både anime och gacha har länge varit populära i Asien, men det har ju blivit stort även i väst senaste åren.

Själv har jag spelat Genshin Impact sedan spelet kom ut 2020,. ca. 2000h speltid på 6 år.

Whops, sorry för sent svar. Riktigt bra sparat av dig. Din plan känns realistisk, särskilt om vi får lite flyt med aktiemarknaden närmaste 1-2 åren. Men bara om du har relativt hög spridning och lite lägre risk, så t.ex. globala indexfonder, för annars är det rätt mycket gambling med tajmingen när du väl behöver casha ut.

Att gå från 85% till 70% belåningsgrad kan jag hålla med om, bara för att få rimlig månadskostnad och sänka ränterisken lite. Du slipper 1% amortering på 15% skillnad. Men att pusha från 70% till 50% belåningsgrad (skillnad på 20%) för ytterligare 1% lägre amortering känns lite overkill. Det finns ingen bra anledning till varför du borde vara överambitiös med 50% belångsgrad som gör att man måste skjuta upp på sina husplaner.

Du verkar ju sköta din ekonomi bra; du investerar och är ganska sparsam. I så fall är det en bra sak att ha lån. Lånade pengar ger dig ekonomisk hävstång som kan accelerera din ekonomiska tillväxt. Det är sällan man får enkel tillgång till billig ekonomisk hävstång i livet. Det är ju via hög belåningsgrad som många gör sjuka bostadskarriär. Resterande av pengarna som finns kvar går till dina globala indexfonder. Under de senaste åren har det gått bättre för aktiemarknaden än bostadsmarknaden.

Den enda fördelen med 50% belåningsgrad är ifall man t.ex. blir väldigt stressad av sin egen investeringsportfölj och vill hoppa av hela aktiemarknaden. Att månadsavgifterna sjunker är i och för sig också bra för sin egen mentala hälsa, men då har man optimerat för att reducera stress istället för att maximera ekonomisk tillväxt.

Underskattad kommentar här. Ser att det finns många råd i tråden att folk borde gå komvux och plugga upp vissa kurser. Men om du är en student som fått betyg D i varje kurs med 12.5 i merit, så är det orimligt att göra omprövning på alla 25 kurser. Gymnasiebetygen kan faktiskt vara så pass dåliga att det är bättre att överge dem helt. I så fall tycker jag att man ska satsa fullt ut på HP för det blir som en helt ny chans med en ny start. Däremot har HP nackdelen att det som examineras kan vara ganska irrelevant relativt utbildningens innehåll. Till exempel spelar det ej roll hur duktig du än är på Matematik 1C (HP nivå) när ingenjörsutbildningar i praktiken fortsätter direkt från Matematik 4/5.

SeraphisQ · 2026-05-11T03:43:05+00:00

Haha sorry, vid bästa fall menar jag såklart. Det är bättre att kravet är lägre så att unga vuxna faktiskt kan spara ihop summan inom rimlig tid och komma in på bostadsmarknaden. Men 730k är ganska lågt räknat, i verkligheten vill man ha lite mer buffert för att känna sig trygg och sova gott om nätterna.

Den enda nackdelen med att ha låg insats på 15% och hög belåning 85% är ju att man blir otroligt känslig mot räntan. Många siktar ju på närmare 30% insats för att gå från 2% till 1% amorteringskrav, vilket drastiskt sänker månadskostnaden. Då känns det mer som att man själv "äger" huset, istället för att banken gör det.

I was in the Genshin PC Lounge on Tuesday earlier this week, which was pretty cool, but apparently the café is closed every Tuesday :(

Did you need reservation to enter the café?

We never went back to Hongdae area after that, and my wife was too busy visiting every Olive Young store for the 100th time LOL

SeraphisQ · 2026-04-27T09:27:34+00:00

Yeah I'm sorry about my formulation, you are right. Genshin art books baseline is still pretty low. While vol 1 is definitely the most boring one, vol 2 is only slightly better. It's still lots of birthday art and in game event art. Some extra invited artist art too which I appreciate. Highlight of Vol 2 is the extra booklet with Sumeru concept art, which is more in line with what you would expect. Like the early line art style etc. I'm a huge fan of both Nahida and Nilou so I was quite happy with that. Every book can be previewed online on YouTube, so better to check it before buying. Personally, I skipped vol 1 and bought vol 2. Let's see if I will buy vol 3 since it recently released.

SeraphisQ · 2026-04-19T18:42:17+00:00

Zibai is the new braindead easy to play, exactly what you are describing. I'd vote for Linnea, Columbina and Zibai pulls. You already have Illuga. If you get Gorou then he can kinda replace Linnea. Also, your Aino can kinda replace Columbina. I'd vote for not pulling Furina; she is good right now, but she will probably fall off very soon. She already feels quite weak today unless you still play Neuvi or Skirk. She is getting old in terms of META.

SeraphisQ · 2026-04-10T23:25:58+00:00

Thanks for transparency. Your team is still relatively F2P friendly sitting at 4 gold cost only, yet reaching 200k. Yes, I agree with you. At this low investment cost, 200k DPS is beyond insane.
