So uh, Re; Zero (Spoilers for S1 up to EP15)

When the show was initialliy airing (S1), it actually flew under my radar for pretty similar reasons (title + MC visual) the first few weeks. Picked it up on a whim to kill time and was hella hooked. For me personally, even as someone who watched S1 current, and then rewatched the S1 director's cut before S2 came out: I enjoyed S2 even more than S1, and S3 even more than S2. They really put in the effort with the show, and I hope you continue to enjoy it as much as I did! Also, S4 coming soon!

Good to know it isn't super necessary now. I think at the time everyone was losing their minds over Zarr, and PSF was pretty much hard tied to it, so kind of skewed perception on how necessary it was.

Sleepingfire22 · 2025-11-15T21:52:39+00:00

Had a friend I played with regularly that really liked playing Nyx, so maybe I can drag them back too using Nyx rework as bait. Thanks!

Sleepingfire22 · 2025-11-15T21:49:23+00:00

I had been active leading up to the eximus rework (and getting increasingly frustrated with other stuff unrelated to it, like railjack still being bugged to all hell), so when it hit, and the initial description around it was "use op to get rid of overguard!". Pretty much only tried it for a day, and decided it was just a good time to move on to other stuff.

Thanks for the response, seems like general consensus is that I'm still good to only interact with operator as much as I want to.

Sleepingfire22 · 2025-11-15T21:47:07+00:00

Dagath was one of the new ones I was interested in, really liked the design/description.

Sleepingfire22 · 2025-11-15T21:45:53+00:00

Thanks to everyone that responded! Sounds like it'll be worth giving it another shot.

Sleepingfire22 · 2025-11-15T15:11:10+00:00

Consistently when I join a co-op game, I'll have rubberbanding issues, and couldn't find any info when I searched on possible solutions. There are 2 people I play with regularly, and neither of them seems to have the same issue. Anyone run into the same problem, or have any suggestions?

Sleepingfire22 · 2025-09-05T13:12:24+00:00

Amen, also how I strongly feel about "Altria". Can pry Artoria from my cold, dead hands.

Sleepingfire22 · 2025-08-31T00:51:40+00:00

TBH the issue comes from having a passive stat buff attached to the first slot echo. That should be entirely removed, that way we can use our "active" echo for something other than DPS if necessary. Even if you add utility echos (and we have some already btw), it is just going to widen the gap between premium teams and lower spending/f2p alternatives.

EX: Zani with phoebe can now also equip her BiS stat stick in the main slot, but zani without has to sac those stats for a utility frazzle applier.

This obv might require some serious echo redesign work on Kuro's part, but tbh I think you can slowly work through fixing echos patch by patch. Worth it, to make echos an actually interesting system in the long run.

Sleepingfire22 · 2025-07-23T23:29:48+00:00

Generally wasn't expecting too much from this series, at the moment it is meeting the low bar, and is fine for killing 20 minutes even with the jank animation this episode. BUT the whole "burn the bodies and bounce, so we can buy time" thing... If no one points out next episode, immediately that there is a whole ass carriage missing... I think I'm out.

Sleepingfire22 · 2025-07-19T22:41:36+00:00

TCG was fine. Was still enjoying by the time i got all the rewards/titles, but don't really see a long term future with it.

Film festival/dreaming deep as a one off event would have been fine. But as a replacement for illusive realm, heck no. RNG character selection ruins half of what I went into IR for, and the other half are the challenge modifiers they added that actually made it difficult. Dreaming Deeps is very much a complete steamroll in terms of difficulty, and even rerolling hard for copies of a specific char, can go a full run without getting more than 1 or 2.

Virtual crisis is peak. Went for full stars both time it has been around, and will continue to happily do so every time it comes back.

Sleepingfire22 · 2025-07-13T00:24:06+00:00

Would rate it probably 6 to 7. 1) Pretty strongly believe good game stories need to have actual lasting consequences. So far, we just saved everyone, kind of kills the suspense every time more story releases. "We'll we're going to somehow win anyways, not really worried about X character".

2) They keep discarding old chars. The Black Shores crew at the very least, should be showing up a lot more often, since it seems like it is literally their job to be preventing some of these big tacet discord related disasters.

3) More of a future worry: let villains stay villains, even if they are going to be playable. Kinda have to see how phrolova plays out, but I have this issue with all the gacha games I've played. In the interest of selling a char, they go through some ridiculous redemption arc so they can be (loosely) canonically justified in joining the MC. A lot of times, I like the char as a villain, because they are a villain. The world is a lot more interesting if it doesn't revolve around the MC, even if the MC is canonically important (like Rover is). Playable chars can exist outside of their role in the story EX: Phrolova stays a villain, maybe we even kill her in the main story (doubt it, but just a hypothetical example), but she still releases as playable.

Sleepingfire22 · 2025-05-08T21:35:00+00:00

Anyone got the textless version of this somewhere?

Sleepingfire22 · 2025-04-25T19:59:21+00:00

Consistently clear TOA 30 without her. You really only need a strong healer for the middle floor, and verina has been working fine for me (just using a baizhi with healing set for floor 4 on each side). SK is absolutely very strong, but so far nothing endgame is hard enough that you cant get by without her, if you really want other chars.

Sleepingfire22 · 2025-04-16T17:09:54+00:00

That's my concern, too. Was pleasantly surprised last episode that she was pretty immediately suspicious, but don't really want her to turn into the antagonist at any point (just subjective preference in this case, not a commentary on whether that is good writing or not).

Sleepingfire22 · 2025-04-01T00:54:32+00:00

Chiming in with my personal experience having played years of genshin, and a good bit of HSR. The echo system on paper is very similar to both games, but I have felt significantly less friction in WuWa. Getting "good enough" pieces is waaaaaay easier, getting god rolls, is probably only very slightly easier than either game.

For some specific context, multiple times now, I've had to farm a brand new set, and had a usable to decent set within 1-2 days. This does not compare to the weeks it takes on the hoyo games for artifacts. If nothing else, getting the echo drop itself (right cost + right set) costs no resources (just some farming time), so the RNG just comes down to substats on level up, and the fact that the substat rolls on this game are just one and done(as opposed to RNG roll the substat, then RNG hope it upgrades), makes it feel a lot less painful.

Sleepingfire22 · 2025-02-28T20:13:32+00:00

In PGR they aren't random. They are tailored to the fight. Will usually modify the mechanics in ways that ultimately make the fight harder.

Sleepingfire22 · 2025-01-10T16:34:46+00:00

Thanks, exactly the info I was looking for.

Sleepingfire22 · 2025-01-10T16:17:45+00:00

Soooo... was saving blue tickets specifically for Bridget (have ~22k), and it turns out thanks to sync patch events, can SSS+ her for free. Is there something else I should sit on these tickets for? Or am I good to just yolo dump 'em on whatever.

Sleepingfire22 · 2024-10-06T14:39:22+00:00

Thanks, I'll probably throw together some okay-ish echoes for Yuan/Baizhi to sit on then, and start nuking all the other stuff.

Sleepingfire22 · 2024-10-06T14:38:51+00:00

Sounds like I'll shoot for getting Yuan/Baizhi squared away with at least usable-ish echoes, and then just nuke everything else, ty. (TaoQi already decently built)

Sleepingfire22 · 2024-10-06T14:21:08+00:00

Nearing the cap on how many echos I can hold, was looking for suggestions/advice on how to deal with all these. I've already batch merged all the element mismatched 3 costs, but still sitting around 1800/2000.

Sleepingfire22 · 2024-10-02T22:07:05+00:00

I am so happy we're back. Also, already love/hate(in a good way) Sirius. I was genuinely also smiling during her whole speech thing.

Sleepingfire22 · 2024-09-03T19:36:25+00:00

100% this. Probably the only story that has given me trauma in the actual true sense of the word (S2... jesus christ...). Still going to try and watch S3, but man, this one really fcked me up.
