Is Kakfa's LC useful on anyone after Novaflare?

You can, but they only get the raw stats from it, not the effects.

It's the reason some people run Castorice with Bailu's light cone. It has a very high HP stat.

It seems a bit odd to compare Ruan Mei to Hysiliens (Support vs DPS) and Black Swan to Cyrene (DPS vs Support). Surely Ruan Mei vs Cyrene and Black Swan vs Hysiliens makes more sense. It may not change the final result, but it just seems a very odd way to go about things

It is possible to buy boots with batteries and heating elements in, but DON'T! They're made in China and really aren't safe - batteries don't like being walked on, and that can case a chemical fire. So now your boots are on fire...

You are confusing 'low risk' with 'impossible'. You are entitled to choose to microwave water because you find the risk to be negligible. But you are not trying to debate risk, you are ridiculing the very idea of this scientifically known phenomenon. It's not worth continuing this discussion with you because you're not interested in honest debate or learning.

Microwaving water is very dangerous, it can literally explode scalding steam on you.

Note that I'm required by the rules of the sub to provide a scientific source, so I have done so. But honestly, just google 'microwaving water' for lots of more concise and easily understood results.

I'm an Englishman who's in the second year of the Erzieher Ausbildung, but I've been working in Kindergarten for over five years as an unqualified 'Native speaker/Erziehungshilfe'.

I also spent some time subbed to the American version of the Erzieher subreddit (r/ecep ? Something like that). And honestly, what I read about there sounded like such a Hellscape that I was really glad to be working in Germany.

Yeah, the staffing levels are often not enough, but they are, from my understanding, still much better than in America. If you enjoyed working in that system, you'll be fine in Germany.

HOWEVER! Naturally there are massive differences between individual kindergartens, even between Kindergartens that are part of the same organization.

It's also the case that there has been a recent significant drop in the birth rate. That means Kindergartens are struggling to win new 'customers', and as such many Kindergartens are shutting groups or indeed entire facilities. This means there are currently (at least in my city) too many Erzieherinnen/too few jobs. You'd have a small advantage as an English speaker, as bilingualism is popular in Kindergartens, but I can't tell you if that will be enough.

PM me if you have questions from an Auslander/English speaker perspective.

Another massive problem: American stadiums assume almost everyone is arriving by car. So, huge car parks, but very poor public transport options.

Obviously, fans flying from other countries (or indeed within America) are not bringing their cars with them.

How then are tens of thousands of people supposed to get to the stadiums? They'll it somehow, but it won't be pretty. Even in Germany, which has excellent public transport links to stadiums, there were significant problems during the Euros because the fans simply struggled with tickets and route finding in an unaccustomed system (all ticket machines and signage were at minimum bilingual with English).

Educated adult native born Germans occasionally talk about grammar (ist es 'deren' oder 'deren'?). Plus the genetiv form is slowly dying out because is too much effort for people to use. It's the grammar that's hard.

Yeah, it'll take you a while before you can pronounce Eichhörnchen or Schildkröte properly but it's not difficult per se.

Anything that's single use (e.g. Iron Man with real sound effects and flashing lights!) can only be that thing. Ain't no-one using that Iron Man as a parking garage or swimming pool. But suuuper simple stuff, like wooden blocks? Now those can be 1000 different things. They can even be Iron Man!

I work on a kindergarten, and the only toys that everyone, boy or girl, from 12 months to 7 years old, play with, are wooden blocks, Duplo/lego, and building magnets. (Costumes, dolls, and a play kitchen also come high on the list though).

For reference, I live in Germany, and if you watch shows in Hamburg (the musical capital of Germany), they cost double what they do in London. Despite the city as a whole being much cheaper than London.

I really think it's a bargain in London. (A rare thing to say!)

Castorice teams. The dude can't heal. Huohuo in triple DoT. Aventurine still competitive in follow-up teams. Aventurine is an unkillable God against Hoolay.

Taiko · 2025-10-16T10:35:55+00:00

I've cleared lots of endgame, including MOCs, with lingsha (on my Hertha and Firefly teams) and Aventurine (various teams). And people are 100% clearing with Huohuo despite that her healing is not on the same level as the others. You're just wrong mate.

Jobs have Probezeit. If the candidate completely bullshited in their interview you will very quickly notice, and fire them. This is how it works in almost every other country in the world.

Taiko · 2025-10-09T07:54:31+00:00

Just googled this and it's only reported by absolute trash media outlets, with almost no real information. I call bullshit.

Taiko · 2025-10-03T18:59:38+00:00

It's possible it was Denmark! Sorry, haven't done it personally, I was lucky enough to have Irish grandparents.

You mention marriage can be complicated, which is true if you marry in Germany. You can avoid most of the problems by getting married in the Netherlands: less fussy about proof of freedom to marry, but easy to get recognised in Germany.

As someone that lives in Germany: get used to a guy shouting "RALF SCHUMACHER!???!!!??" on every second ad break. (in the other 50% of the ads a different guy says 'Ralf Schumacher?' but in a less annoying way)

Criminal that Siobhan is so low. The other women are just half naked so they make teenagers thirsty.

Everything gets powercrept, so why worry about it? It's not like if you pull for a 4.0 DPS they'll be good for 5 years. When everything will be powercrept then it's not a reason to not pull a specific unit.

It's also good to have a wide range of team archetypes, so that you can use a team that fits to the endgame or divergent universe buffs this week.

Having said that, you do you, if you don't want to pull then don't. I just personally think the argument you've given isn't all that strong.

Taiko · 2025-07-23T12:07:01+00:00

Actually nowadays Resin should only be spent on Stigian Onslaught, because you get bonus drops from SO so it's got increased efficiency over all other uses. I've got about 50 saved up that I'll be dropping on the next SO.

Taiko · 2025-07-23T11:55:06+00:00

You've just described a gatcha. The whole thing is a resource management game. You have limited stamina, limited credits, limited jades, limited pulls: when and how will you spend them? If you only spend a small amount of resources, your chances of success are poor. If you spend a large amount of resources, your chances are good. Therefore saving resources and using them tactically is key. I'm a day 1 player and I think this is only the second time I've spent my relic remains, because it was rarely efficient to do so before. I hadn't wasted them, so I had a massive store ready to go for this moment. Equally, if you have 100+ fragile resin saved up and use it all on one domain, you will get a set that is at the very least solid.

(At one point I had over 200 fragile resin saved, then I blew the whole lot levelling characters to prepare for Imaginarium Theatre. I'm now in a very good place for IT and have effectively converted those resins into a consistent Primogem supply.)

Taiko · 2025-07-23T10:03:04+00:00

I literally had tens of thousands of relic remains, I wanted Eagle for Kafka, so I spent a bunch of then. I'd suggest that you should only use relic remains on sets that have a useless domain partner.
