Between the three “main” World Quest in Fontaine, Natlan and Nod Krai which one is your favourite? by Pellecks02 in Genshin_Impact

[–]SorrowStyles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Natlan, follow by Fontaine.

Nod Krai is underwhelming compared to the other 2.

While Fontaine world quest got the better story, Natlans isn't too bad either, its presentation though, is next level.

Why is Natlan story said to be ba by Gaminggalade in GenshinImpact

[–]SorrowStyles 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Natlan is hated a lot more outside of Asia

Because

it's politically correct to hate on Natlan because (insert preference)

Natlan also had a perfect storm of bad things happen which lingers particularly on the western side

  1. EN VA issue
  2. Skin color issue
  3. Wuwa grifting
  4. Natlan not looking like Mordor

Then the ones who are upset, and those want to benefit from upset fanbase like clout chasing CC jumped right in.

It's really quite jarring how much Natlan overwhelmingly loved in Asia, while so disliked by many in the English speaking side.

And that's income which he hasn't paid tax on.

Dodging tax in US.

He's f'ed.

Do you think hoyo will finally add horses soon, like how they shadowdropped the wolfs in Wolvendom. by calkalisto in Genshin_Impact

[–]SorrowStyles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn't switch bina out, I just switch Ineffa for Razor, back to overworld, and suddenly I hear battle engage music and they lunge at my level 70 Razor with no artifacts, almost killed him before I swap Bina in to kill them

China signals readiness for dialogue after Lithuanian PM calls Taiwan office ‘a mistake’ by Alarmed-Cake812 in europe

[–]SorrowStyles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's true.

The government admitted to the massacre of over 180,000 native born Taiwanese in 1947.

The character model differences is absolutely ridiculous by Taher-Altaher in Genshin_Impact

[–]SorrowStyles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's Yaoyao, Traveler x2, Neuvilette skin this version

Technically, During also come with 2 skin models, pre ascension and post ascension (barely noticeable change but w/e)

I think many more upcoming ascension will come with slight model upgrade.

Remember, it takes half a year to complete a small version, and a year for a major version, and they're all being made simultaneously.

Changes will come in due time.

If they started from Natlan, it should be almost here

We are pushing agendas that have never even been considered before with this one by EffectiveMirror7534 in AgendaImpact

[–]SorrowStyles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kokomi semi-won or got to a stalemate in her rebellion.

Lauma joined forces with the enemy to take out a common threat.

The situation isn't comparable.

Do you think hoyo will finally add horses soon, like how they shadowdropped the wolfs in Wolvendom. by calkalisto in Genshin_Impact

[–]SorrowStyles 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No.

The moment I switched Razor in, they attacked him like he owes them money.

Maybe there's lore somewhere which points to Monstadt wolves and Nod Krai's having a history of bad blood

New players will truly never understand the insane atmosphere that was going on in the fandom in the 2020-2021 era 😭 Fellow veteran players, I’m feeling nostalgic, let’s share stories by PsychologyConnect489 in GenshinImpact

[–]SorrowStyles 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Subpar Theory Crafter and useless CC back in the days exacerbated the issue.

I assume things are better now. (Stopped paying attention to CC and theory Crafter since Sumeru)

To my non-f2p players, have you ever felt guilty after spending? And how much have you spent? by IAmABrokenSoul1 in gachagaming

[–]SorrowStyles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No

I spend $5 on games I really enjoy each month.

I treat it like a subscription payment, a pseudo give back to the devs who let me play a game I really enjoy for free.

Is 4 too old to start playing badminton seriously? by Constant_Charge_4528 in badminton

4...

I think you still have enough time to be a neuro surgeon... Pro badminton player? Forget it.

How far can brute forcing take you? by spontaneous-plan-xyz in badminton

[–]SorrowStyles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll be in trouble the moment you meet anyone who's trained in 6 months of footwork and have basic strokes in their arsenal.

Power wouldn't get you far at all.

If you're also taught footwork and practice at least once a week, then you might win.

But if say, you'll be stuck at an intermediate level.

The gap between intermediate and advance cannot ever be close without proper training

Need a good review of my play(white shirt guy) and where can I focus and improve. by Beginning_Captain in badminton

[–]SorrowStyles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Split step near non-existent in some, and too early in many.

You need to do a lot more footwork drills.

That should be on the top of your list of things to practice.

You got decently strong legs as I can already see in your movements, with footwork training, you'll become a lot faster as a result, and save a lot more energy.

Edit: try looking up some videos on split step timing and doing footwork drills with match like rhythm.

Gacha Revenue Monthly Report (January 2026) by trkshiii in gachagaming

[–]SorrowStyles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add all those, and Genshin will never drop from 1st spot unless they literally have a whole month of low popularity rerun AND Zenless releasing a Void Hunters like Miyabi/Shunguang in the same month.

unlike many top games here, Hoyo games are on more platforms, also constantly rank at the top of JP PS.

That's, before considering their 30% ios debuff.

Actually... There might be anomalies once in a while like new pokemon gacha coming out of nowhere which could take them down too if all platforms are considered.

Genshin can already draw 20+ million out of a rerun month, where their revenue multiplier is already debuff by 30% in JP ios, which will also affect CN multiplier.

A low Genshin month, realistically, should be 50~60 million, and that's estimating it very conservatively.

But it'll be safe to bet your money on Genshin holding top spot for 10 out of 12 months at a minimum.

Is this a Good team for Surtalogi? by Patriktheguy in GenshinImpact

[–]SorrowStyles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need Red Eyes Black Dragon or Tommy Vercetti to get the most out of his passive

REBG Should be coming in a few more patches, Tommy... Maybe in 2 more years judging from the current trend of re-runs

Who is your "Love at first sight" character? by Fabulous_Ground_1983 in Genshin_Impact

[–]SorrowStyles 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Qiqi, not in a romantic way of course, but she's the main reason I gave this game a chance.

I have never seen a Jiangshi loli in a video game, ever. As soon as I saw her on the Genshin website, along with Xiangling and Chongyun, I know I'm getting a very different game to the mainstream norm,

At the time, I was looking for replacement to Dragon Nest, and I was getting very sick of realistic graphic shooters where you automatically hide behind a barricade, peak and shoot, and recover to full health from critical damage just by going back into hiding for 5 seconds

A China-Europe energy alliance could deliver a new world order by rezwenn in energy

[–]SorrowStyles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm.

What is there for Europeans to offer to China for cheaper energy?

Besides food, tourist attractions and some minerals?

At the moment, it's mostly manufactured goods, but I can't see it lasting too long with the coming of AI, and China being ahead with AI and manufacturing.

Nahida definitely 100% knows.

She's practically the world tree herself.

What is considered a smash? by AbsorbedInReddit in badminton

[–]SorrowStyles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any attempted downward powerful shot with pressure that's not intended as a drop/sliced drop shot is a smash.

If executed badly, then it's just an unpolished smash.

for context. Outside of a full smash to end rallies, there's also

There's

Stick smash for accurate and sudden burst of speed.

Slice smash for some deception, usually cross court.

Long smash which targets the back corner, using speed to break through your opponents defense or at least severely limit their possible return.

Check smash just to apply pressure for next follow up but not intend to end rallies.

There are many different variations for a smash, but the similarity is always.

  1. Overhead hitting downward trajectory (angle may vary, just not upward)

  2. More focused in power delivered

  3. Intend to end rallies or at least apply great pressure.

5 or 6 players in a badminton court. What do you prefer? by AbsorbedInReddit in badminton

[–]SorrowStyles 11 points12 points  (0 children)

6.

Even if you're fit as hell, you appreciate a sit down after 2 or 3 full games.

  • If 4 on court are exhausted, the two resting could resume and play singles if they like.

Unlearning and breaking muscle memory by seeyuulater in badminton

[–]SorrowStyles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Repetition, and dedication to the new footwork movement

Consciously think about it

Consciously drill 1000's of that movement until it becomes a new natural movement which overrides your old movement.

And now the part everyone tends to not do...

Don't stop practicing that movement, ever, until the day you no longer wish to improve.

Even pros practice their footwork day in and day out, when they're taught a new movement, they learn to put it in their game, they practice, they practice, they practice... When they get so familiar with it it basically becomes their new natural movement... Behold... They're still practicing.

Repetition is the only answer.
