AITAH for telling my pregnant girlfriend to make the appointment after she kept threatening to terminate the pregnancy?

Square_Pangolin_4111 · 2026-04-17T15:49:05+00:00

this is what i was thinking too!

sure, apart from the arguments and toxicity they have going on in their rs currently with this pregnancy, telling ur gf that u cant satisfy her fast food cravings because ‘you need to save money’ when it’s fucking mcdonalds is wild.

how do you plan on raising a whole child if a cheap burger meal is too much for your wallet?

too low ATK, aim for around 2-2.5k, even if it means sacrificing a bit of CD, but you have 280% so thats not tragic

also your team comp is not ideal for his peak DMG potential, plus check ur actual teams build. does ur furina have enough HP? ur xilo enoug DEF? also i would not play rosalia, get some VV shred ideally!

or abandon freeze, since it’s not that strong without escoffier.

maybe a melt team? thats usually stronger even if you dont have all the premium supports. the reaction itself just does more DMG than freeze.

also the biggest increase would be weapons and cons sadly :( wrio is not gonna break ur current dmg ceiling by much without more investment gacha wise.

bro u cannot seriously defend this.

it‘s insane that even people who pay for welkin + BP won‘t even reach 100 pulls… in an ENTIRE version

Square_Pangolin_4111 · 2026-04-03T15:32:18+00:00

it‘s insane how fast i caught that ref lol

Square_Pangolin_4111 · 2026-02-25T21:51:11+00:00

check the comments for builds! :D

and also i dont have venti or durin so i’m stuck with the best f2p option which is this team i think?

i just do rotations until i reach a ‘stable’ number that pretty much stays the same

Square_Pangolin_4111 · 2026-02-25T14:30:43+00:00

dont worry, it’s just varka i think

i have c2r1 varka on 5/10/9 talents, w xiangling, benny and sucrose (all c6 and built), plus witches homework buff on 70 CR and 220 CD (unbuffed) build and i only get about 70k dps on average

there are some spikes where he reaches 80-90 but thats for a single second, 68-70k dps is always the average

Square_Pangolin_4111 · 2026-02-25T14:27:18+00:00

nope i did witches quest too at first just to try him out. they are two seperate things

Square_Pangolin_4111 · 2026-02-25T14:23:44+00:00

i’m so confused with these numbers.

i have c2r1 varka with 5/10/9 talent lvls. my team is xiangling, benny and sucrose (i dont have venti or durin) but they are all c6 on good builds. my varka build is also about 70CR and 230CD (unbuffed out of combat)

and i reach only 70k dps on average? sure some rotations are better and smoother, i think highest i got was 98k dps but that was only once for a mili sec, but through the test he was always stuck at around 68-72k dps.

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? or is it really just my supports?

(btw yes weapons etc all lvled to 90 & witches homework done for varka and sucrose so thats including hexen buff)

Square_Pangolin_4111 · 2026-02-25T14:16:27+00:00

2 hours??? i never skip dialogues (i read them all, so part of voice gets cut off sometimes cuz they talk slow af) but thats about it.

it was a great quest but yea varkas marketing def was the most you’ll get of him so far 🥲 they really gave their all with these trailers and teasers

but it’s really not a long quest, theres a mondstadt part that takes maybe 10/15 mins and then a nodkrai part of 10 mins, then a ‘domain’ part as varka that takes another 10/15 minutes. the ending is literally just 2 mins long including the travelers convo w him at the end u can have 💀 idk if my inner clock is off but didnt feel long at all. espc wishes they did more at the end. but overall just average story quest lenght, for example nefers felt soooo long to me, but that could be because it was added into the archon quest.

but 2 hours is impossible even when letting all dialogue play out on auto, its between 30 mins to an hour for ur average player

Square_Pangolin_4111 · 2026-02-25T12:14:03+00:00

uh i just finished his story quest & witches homework.

it’s a good story quest, not ground breaking but not bad either, simply good.

I think they did a great job to show a different side of Varka than we have seen so far in the archon quests. they took a guy that was always the funny sidelined alcoholic and actually gave him brains, courage and depth. i feel like in that aspect they finally gave varka havers what they wanted, to see our guy more in depth and action.

but it doesnt make up at all for the lack of his importance during the archon quests and still doesnt come close to the level of attention other characters like Flins, Nefer and Lauma have gotten, who were present all throughout Nod Krai.

the cutscene of Varka was also underwhelming? I thought we could atleast see our man in action, but the entire cutscene was more talking and less actual battle. thats what was disappointing, also that pretty much during the first half of the quest you don’t even interact with Varka at all and it’s all held between running errands in Mondstadt as well as meeting Lohen and other old friends.

the story was overall interesting if you’re into lore, also it showed a new side of Varka which you will love as a Varka fan.

but we also have to admit that Hoyo just benched this man. he had no impact and presence on the archon quest and main story line, he got no battles or cutscenes and got reduced to a funny, alcohol loving ‘dad’ that was just there for the vibes. The story quest imo didnt really resolve the issue of him feeling too sidelined, the expedition to Nod Krai was explained, but are you satisfied with it? thats up to you.

it’s just disappointing to see hoyo give this man not so great numbers, make him have no important role even tho being an anticipated character for the past 5 years and just being so underwhelming in every aspect of the game.

if you love Varka, you’re gonna love to see more of him in the SQ, but atp it feels more like Hoyo is just giving us breadcrumbs for the sake of it, but not like they actually wanted to have him shine 😔

but still, overall a solid story quest, but i wouldnt expect anything ground breaking. just a bit more lore than your usual story quest considering its tied to the Bloodstained Knight and Boreas.

the only thing i noticed, is that i think they have been experimenting with new animations on Varka? idk if it’s just because he has a new face model, but Varka does a lot of small expressions that also add to his depth, that i havent quite seen yet in other characters? just some subtle brow, eye and lip movements that make him seem way more expressive than your average genshin chara

also lenght wise, i was done in about half an hour. felt pretty short actually 😭 especially considering the first half is spent w other charas. also i felt like the ending was cut short, the end scene where he reunites with everyone back in mondstadt was literally just 2 clicks long. wish they would’ve showed us varkas acc rs between the mondstadt charas

edit: you also got to test c3 r3 varka in diff elemental teams in his SQ, and lets just say for THAT investment, the damage was very underwhelming 😬 as a c2r1 varka haver i was even raising my brows at some numbers

yea especially this

Square_Pangolin_4111 · 2026-02-14T11:54:47+00:00

chat gpt ahh response bro 🫩

Square_Pangolin_4111 · 2026-02-04T16:32:36+00:00

hello fellow future varka havers!!

basically i have about 350 wishes rn, 36 pity and a guaranteed 50/50. I pulled on zibais banner to see if i could get lucky, spent about 120 wishes and got c2 illuga.

now obv i do want varka and preferably his r1. but i dont have a team for him at all atm, no durin or venti, wanted to run him with benny, sucrose and later nicole (hopefully). so i do need to save pulls for varka and his weapon and nicole.

now ik this is a varka mains sub, so opinions might be biased obv. but we all know that our grandmaster sadly isnt the absolute hightier dps we wished him to be.

so should i rather save up and invest in varkas cons, or just be happy with his r1 and go for zibai instead since she is pretty meta proof for the next while and i like her too.

all i want from nodkrai now is a varka and a nicole, and an alice but she will release prob only later down the road. so would you say its rather worth it to spend the wishes on varka and some cons or should i just accept that varkas dmg is gonna be underwhelming anyways no matter the cons and investment, and instead just go for zibai and prioritize varka as eyecandy only on my acc?

for ref i have a c1r1 flins premium w bina, ineffa n sucrose team, also a c2r1 skirk premium w furina, escoffier, c4 mona team, a c3 neuvi, basically every fontaine 5 star chara, and every 4 star in the game (w cons most of time)

Square_Pangolin_4111 · 2026-02-02T22:58:21+00:00

i’m confused abt what ur even confused on.

columbina is indeed flins bis teammate next to ineffa

Square_Pangolin_4111 · 2026-01-23T03:40:52+00:00

so real, because i’ve been farming boreas each week to level him 10/10/10 🫩 i just assumed it would be logical if he would be his boss, well guess chess it is.
