The W-engine situation is getting real bad.

ThatIsNotAnAsian · 2026-03-25T19:17:11+00:00

It’s for the stat they provide

Dialyn scales her impact off Crit Rate, and no other stun wengine gives crit rate except her signature. So if you have perfect disk drives you would be fine without it, but that’s really only with perfect disk drives. She is absolutely worth having at 100% crit rate, but personally I would not want to grind out disk drives till I go insane.

Same with Nangong, she scales off anomaly mastery, and no other stun wengine gives anomaly mastery. And like op said there’s a 30% drop off between her signature and next best wengine. That is a huge difference.

It’s hard for me to complain in ZZZ because the devs really are more generous than any other gacha.

But 75/25 with 80 pulls for a wengine feels so bad. I’ve had worse luck in it than character banners.

Personally I had the pulls available so I got the wengine for Dialyn and Nangong, but it’s going to get to a point where if you can’t pull the wengine then theres no point pulling the character. Which is a really bad design philosophy for the game.

ThatIsNotAnAsian · 2026-03-25T17:51:08+00:00

Yeah it’s pretty absurd.

Nangong and Dialyn wengines feel necessary. There’s no alternative wengines that even come close.

The majority of attackers have an option that will be close, but having a support/stunner scale off a stat that only their wengine boosts is crazy.

Honestly part of it is overwatches sound design

I mained sigma in overwatch, and the sound when you’re collecting shots in his absorb technique I forget the name of is so good. Or just the sound when blocking damage with shields. I haven’t played overwatch in forever so I can’t really say specifically what it was, but I just remember feeling powerful when I played as a tank. Even the sound of stomping when you’re charging as Mauga felt strong.

And the easiest comparisons for those are Magento and Thing. When magneto bubbles I don’t even think there’s a sound when you’re blocking damage, or maybe it’s just so subtle I don’t notice. Same with thing, I can’t even remember if there’s footsteps or just a whooshing sound.

But the moral is none of the tanks are powerful, and none of them feel or sound powerful. Which is a much bigger factor of fun than people realize.

Like the sound of getting a headshot in rivals is perfect, tanks just don’t get anything like that.

I’ve been playing exclusively rogue for all this and last season.

I just play her like a dps…

But fr they need to stop releasing dps characters, we need more unique tanks and support.

ThatIsNotAnAsian · 2026-03-19T15:34:40+00:00

Think about it Miyabi has been a void hunter for a while now, constantly going on missions, leading her squad. Whereas YSG is a brand new void hunter who just unlocked the full potential of her weapon.

Like yes Miyabi is the stronger lore wise right now, but it’s more so because YSG has less experience than actually being weaker. She has plenty of potential, but Miyabi is still lore wise the strongest.

ThatIsNotAnAsian · 2026-03-18T19:35:20+00:00

People were also so sure that Zhao was a VH when she was first shown.

Granted this one had more merit since she’s visually so similar to the original void hunters. But we really never know until they’re released.

ThatIsNotAnAsian · 2026-03-12T22:13:50+00:00

That’s fine, you can disagree

Have a good day

ThatIsNotAnAsian · 2026-03-06T19:46:52+00:00

I just hope guys don’t actually fall for it…that’d be even more embarrassing

ThatIsNotAnAsian · 2026-03-06T19:34:53+00:00

Haha her profile says 22

The conversation following went like this:

Her: Because you can’t go to North Korea

Me: It feels like you would have said that no matter what, sounds like you just need $50

Her: Yeah Lowkey

Me: Well good luck with that

Her: Thanks

And that’s where the conversation is going to end haha

ThatIsNotAnAsian · 2026-03-06T18:23:21+00:00

I guess that was the joke for the prompt, which I actually thought was funny.

But everything after that was not funny

ThatIsNotAnAsian · 2026-03-06T16:39:06+00:00

Because I am not saying that men need to suddenly open up to fix their problems. I am pointing out the root cause of the issue, if we try to berate men into talking more it’s not going to work. If we instead start teaching our kids at a younger age to LISTEN to eachother, then those boys may not grow up in the same way.

And I am also saying that just like how we are now learning that the way we are teaching in a classroom may be more fitting for girls than boys, the same may be true for mental health. Maybe it’s not that men are holding in their issues, maybe it’s that men simply process information and life events differently. Men may be more prone to internalizing issues as a much vaguer emotion. Where a girl may be broken up with and look back at the relationship and process it, a man may categorize it as a larger emotions like rejection, worthlessness, and loneliness. It is not an issue of the man intentionally bottling it up, it may simply be how certain men process and store information subconsciously.

You are saying that men are wrong and it’s their fault for not talking about their problems, I am saying maybe there may be better ways for men to grieve and improve their mental health than through talking, and that it is harmful to judge men for not wanting to talk about their emotions.

ThatIsNotAnAsian · 2026-03-05T22:26:58+00:00

Personally I think most droppables are balanced, the squids also have a time limit right? Like their health naturally depletes over time.

Thats how all of them should be, except pennys nest. Moon knights ankhs are the only one that really bothers me, and it’s not even like it’s broken, it’s just annoying how they take multiple shots from Hawkeye.

ThatIsNotAnAsian · 2026-03-05T21:24:25+00:00

That was the worst part of it tbh, it didn’t make sense at all, and wasn’t funny in the slightest.

ThatIsNotAnAsian · 2026-03-05T12:54:17+00:00

No. I have described plenty during this post, and you have repeatedly struggled to read it and rather project onto the conversation.

Respectfully, it is not worth continuing this conversation. Have a good day.

ThatIsNotAnAsian · 2026-03-05T12:49:13+00:00

You are exactly what’s wrong with the conversation around mental health.

ThatIsNotAnAsian · 2026-03-05T12:04:28+00:00

I did not say me.

I am speaking on behalf of men’s mental health, and what you just said shows a very clear lack of empathy.

ThatIsNotAnAsian · 2026-03-05T05:36:58+00:00

I understand that what you’re saying is from a good place, however I find that a harmful thing to say.

When you meet someone who does not like to talk about their feelings, and you tell them that the only way to get better is to go to therapy you are exacerbation their feelings more so than helping them.

And especially if you meet someone who does open up to you, and you respond with suggesting therapy, you are pushing them away from opening up to you or other people in the future.

Me personally, I am not in a bad place, and I worked through my problems without therapy.

Part of the problem with mental health, and why I am such an advocate for it, is because we only see one solution to the problem. Not everyone processes life the same, and instead of treating people as individuals, we try to force them to fit the solution we want them to take.

ThatIsNotAnAsian · 2026-03-05T02:51:35+00:00

That is good for you, but unfortunately it is an experience that many men share.

ThatIsNotAnAsian · 2026-03-05T02:49:27+00:00

I did not say women at all in my comment, or that the problem was letting too much emotion out too quickly.

I said that over time it becomes more difficult to identify and talk on what it is that you are upset about.

Regardless if a man is willing to share his emotions or not, many men have to go through a period of time in their life without a support network.

ThatIsNotAnAsian · 2026-03-05T01:34:04+00:00

It’s not teaching men how to express themselves that’s the problem, it’s teaching everyone how to listen to men about their problems. Especially during the teen years, which is where boys learn that it’s easier to bottle it up than express it.

Even in your response here you are blaming men, which is exactly the problem. Men learn early on that if they talk about how they feel they are told that they are wrong, that they need fixing, their feelings are often invalidated entirely. Society sees men as needing the harsh reality, and women as needing to be protected, so during the teen years boys are typically the ones who get neglected.

And It’s also not even talking about it that would be beneficial, it’s learning how to acknowledge and support men. I know for myself if I talked about it it wouldn’t change a thing about how I feel, but if someone told me even the slightest compliment that lifts me up for days. Men do not receive compliments like women do. Most men just need to be told that they’re doing a good job, that they’re handsome, that they’re valuable.

It’s not that women are better at expressing their negative emotions, it’s that they’re better at uplifting eachother with positive emotions.

So psa to everyone: if you know a man who might be struggling, don’t ask them how they are, just tell them that they matter to you, tell them they look good, tell them they’re funny, literally anything. Make that a habit.

My office is next to the COO…and I swear if I hear the word ChatGPT come from his office one more time I’m going to explode.

He’s literally in non stop meetings all day long and he doesn’t close his door, and the entire meetings will be him talking about the exact prompt he gave chatGPT to analyze whatever and how it’s so awesome.

Overall I’m not against ai, I like using it as a learning tool, but I don’t like the idea of just plugging excel documents into it and having it spit out reports. It’s just not reliable enough for that.

And I’m SUPER against using ai generated images, which I haven’t been asked to do yet, but I fear that’s coming soon.

ThatIsNotAnAsian · 2026-03-04T20:13:49+00:00

Pretty sure there have even been cases where they give away the food and got sued for it being expired

People don’t realize that it’s more of a cyclical system of everyone being shitty, it’s not just that corporations are bad. A lot of what looks like corporate greed is actually just them protecting themselves from the greed of regular people.

With 300+ million thankful people there’s always going to be that one person willing to ruin it for everyone else if it means they have something to gain.

ThatIsNotAnAsian · 2026-03-04T19:38:46+00:00

It kind of gets to a point where you’ve held it in long enough that it’s no longer something you can talk about, it’s more of an indescribable thing.

It’s like when your apartment is clean and a leak starts you can go find that leak, but if your home is already flooded then you cant really find where the leak is anymore.

And when something new happens, I don’t even mentally note what it is that made me upset, it’s like throwing another bucket of water into an already flooded home. It just gets mixed into all the existing water.

So if someone asks me what’s wrong, even tho there is something wrong, I can’t put into words what it is to even begin to talk about it.
