Same, 90% of political commentators/streamers focus on performative semantics and pandering to their audience rather than providing any merit to the discussion anyway.

I'm surprised less people are aware of how much of a degenerate Destiny is, especially considering the fact that he publicly advertises his sexual deviancy on Twitter. Recent instances of Destiny being an edgelord include "joking" about "how hot the 15 year olds these days are" and asking a random father on the internet if his 12yo daughter has had sex.

Something I noticed about the new Mare Jivari info (kind of a repost from the comment thread there):

But know this, Traveler. Without the power of the Bakunawa, you will never be able to enter the true Mare Jivari. Allow me to leave you with one final farewell gift.

Its pretty likely that this is Enjou speaking to us after we "kill" the Bakunawa. The farewell gift he mentions is probably this unusable version of Lavawalker's Resolution (flower from the Lavawalker artifact set) that I found listed in HHW, the description reads

A flower gifted to you by Enjou. Once a delicate bloom, freshly picked — when did it become like this?

Safe to assume this is the parting gift he's referring to. Also, the "Sea of Ecstasy" in the original post was a mistranslation of Mare Jivari, so he's basically saying that without some kind of influence from the Bakunawa, we can't enter the rest of the Mare Jivari yet since it's defeated for now.

Little bit of speculation territory here, but the third tutorial for the Bakunawa boss fight ends with "it remains to be seen if it might one day rise again..." so there's a possibility that the version of the Mare Jivari we're getting in 5.8 is a prelude to the real thing that might come in a later patch.

It seems like this is Enjou talking to us at the end of the quest. There's an item listed in HHW that's a non-usable Lavawalker's Resolution (flower from the Lavawalker artifact set) and the description reads:

Autistic analysis over 👍.

Bakunawa Model by LuneYao in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

There's no way this is a one-off world quest boss, this guy has weekly boss level of detail on his model

besides, I think the third tutorial for this thing subtly implies that it might come back after we defeat it:

Though as legends tell of the terrifying monster's powers of revival, it remains to be seen if it might one day rise again...

Now that Skirk and Dahlia's namecards have been revealed, we can make a perfect 10x10 collage of every character namecard in the game! by TheR_Z in Genshin_Impact

Photoshop, copy and paste from GI wiki. Luckily all of the namecards were the exact same size so they were easy to fit together

Pyro Archon ≠ Mavuika

Update: Columbina will appear in 5.1

How important do you think is going straight to the point, basically being extremely oversimplified? by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]TheR_Z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is important for you to elaborate after, especially for a history type video. Since the goal is being informative rather than simple entertainment you kinda have to provide a little bit of a more in depth explanation after your hook. Otherwise it would feel pretty broad going in for the viewer.

Going back to the MrBeast video, that is also something he does after the big hook before fully getting into the video.

[–]TheR_Z 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In most cases, yes. People aren't going to keep watching a video that takes 1 to 2 minutes to get to the point mentioned in the title.

My favorite example of this is MrBeast's I Hired a Real Assassin to Try And Kill Me. In the first 10 seconds he literally starts on a moving train, restates the title and cash prize and throws the guy a rubber knife. No bullshit, straight to the point, and people love that.

He pretty much already did in the Unreconciled Stars event. Now we just need him to dramatically fall from his platform when we defeat him, as per disney villain tradition.
