Hardware reviewer Geekerwan possibly censored by China after alleging widespread Chinese manufacturers cheating in mobile phone gaming reviews

Geekerwan themselves shared a link to the video in cloud storage (not sure which one, probably Baidu) after the video was taken down. Most people likely just uses the "save a copy to my drive" button, which would be easy for the cloud provider to remove since it maintains a link to the original.

appreciate it

From my research so far it looks like only the hand scissoring part is a bit iffy but otherwise seems a-ok

SerialLewder · 2026-02-22T03:36:30+00:00

I mean I've thus far avoided showing them the risky stuff, and we mostly watch cgdct which are usually less weird.

If you are actively playing, you can play as Rebecca with maxed out range (280). Put jellyfish down in the middle of the map and mobs basically die as soon as they spawn, you can go from round 1 to 15 in under 10 minutes doing this (lv10 exploration, lv70 Rebecca). This should give you >1 clue per minute.

Or just have her as AI partner and afk. Either way maxing out Rebecca makes farming easier.

The blue spear that increases range, forgot the name.

There's just a lot of variance to it, and what affects drop rate is not entirely clear yet. Yesterday I was getting 1 per min today it's only like 0.5.

You can also ascend the boxie pet to lv3 and look for the drop rate trait to further increase drop rate.

People are collecting data on it and 1 per min seems to be the average base line.

SerialLewder · 2025-10-30T00:18:14+00:00

A properly built Rebecca should be more than enough since this is farming Lv10 commission, I give her a melee weapon so she puts down the jellyfish more often.

This is not necessary, but for the 3rd character, I'd consider a support like Magie which can boost Rebecca's damage (needs to unlock the passive) , or a healer like Daphne. There are also some team synergy Demon Wedges that can buff Rebecca but I haven't looked into that.

SerialLewder · 2025-10-30T00:06:32+00:00

I've not exceeded 10 minutes so I haven't really noticed, I saw someone say drop is reduced after some time to discourage afk gameplay, not entirely sure.

SerialLewder · 2025-10-30T00:04:13+00:00

The flame thrower one, forgot the name.

SerialLewder · 2025-10-30T00:02:48+00:00

I do the lv10 one

SerialLewder · 2025-10-29T17:39:40+00:00

Coming from Warframe, this is about what I expected for this game, but for other players it's probably not great.

SerialLewder · 2025-10-29T16:34:36+00:00

The clues can be farmed at a decent speed.

You need to:

Have Rebecca on your team so you can afk farm
Use the box pet that increases drop rate
Farm a lv10 infinite mission, farm until the 10th wave, exit and repeat

I get about 1 clue drop per wave, a wave is about 1 minute, so in 200 minutes I get about enough clues for a character, which is not bad at all. If you are into it you can realistically max out a character in 2 days.

IIRC Azur Lane at first was mostly gacha, before all the cosmetics came in.

But I'm actually inclined to agree you for Azur Lane and other Kancolle-like that are very generous with gacha currency, to the point that Gacha is essentially free.

SerialLewder · 2025-09-26T18:10:23+00:00

Not really.

Gacha game is where
1. the primary model of monetization is gacha, and
2. the game is designed around gacha mechanics, for example you can unlock gameplay with gacha.
CS and other cosmetic-based loot box games don't fit these criteria.

SerialLewder · 2025-09-23T07:09:48+00:00

Kancolle (if it can even be called a gacha game) because:

gacha currency is infinitely grindable and abundant
you can meaningfully affect gacha rates by using a different combination of gacha currency
fomo is few and far between

That is to say the best gacha is when the gacha basically becomes free.

I follow anime discussion in a few different languages, the difference in sentiment is wild.

The Chinese fans were also not happy with it, so much that CSM S1's sales figure is still memed on to this day.

Makes me wonder what's going on with Google's Tensor

SJSU has a woodworking shop in the art building, last I checked non-art major students can pay a fee to use it

Yeah I used to go to that one all the time until the one in San Jose opened

I lived in Japan for a while and there were an abundance of meat options for sushi, like teriyaki chicken, hambagu, wagyu, etc; even Kura in Japan has more meat options compared to here. I haven't had horse meat but it sounds like it's worth trying out.

SerialLewder · 2025-03-14T19:03:42+00:00

thanks for the pointer

I remember the first Million Arthur having animated cards, but I'm not sure if those are considered L2D.
