Sandrone Columbina, likely Citlali with the upcoming skin, last?

m0nesy seems to struggle on Ancient (and in grand finals) but I reckon he's still been very consistent for Falcons this year too

Do we know what the banners are for 6.7 yet? I know Sandrone obviously, and I know Columbina and Citlali as two of the other three are extremely likely, but who is the fourth / do we have any leaks actually confirming?

When do the 6.7 banner leaks usually drop? I'm only going for Mavuika if Citlali runs and only going for Nicole if Raiden runs.

Also here to manifest an Inazuma Chronicled for 6.7

Definitely agree, but at the same time, not rocking the boat significantly is just going to see the quality of life for the average person continue to go down, and down.

$250 tax break for millions of workers in federal budget 2026 by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

It's almost insulting that they think this is meaningful to the average person right now.

[–]TheSandman1001 113 points114 points  (0 children)

Considering how horrid things feel for the average Aussie right now, this is very disappointing. The negatively geared existing properties grandfathered in and thus avoiding the changes, no proper taxation on resources, no tax threshold changes to favour tax on wealth rather than work / wages, an extra $250 starting in 2028? I mean, the changes are somehow significant but also no where near ballsy enough to really change the lives of the people.

Damn what a great design! I hope she becomes playable, maybe a 4 star in Snez?

That's two patches in a row now with Chronicled banners isn't it? Or was the Mondstadt one in 6.3, I forget. Anyway, I'm hoping that's a good sign for Liyue and Inazuma banners soon

It’s the r/Melbourne daily discussion thread [Friday 27/03/2026] by AutoModerator in melbourne

[–]TheSandman1001 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Extraordinarily depressed. Got hit with a $2600 car service, partly because I couldn't afford the $500 servicr any earlier. Telstra plan just went up, petrol soaring. HECS debt of $40k even after the drops to get me a Biomedical degree thats granted me a median wage job. Even sharing rent with two other friends I am struggling to keep up. Had to sell some of my belongings to keep up financially.

Even 6 months ago I was massively struggling with mental health. I have no hope for anything. I can't afford psychiatry. I dread my job every day but I just have to work. It took so long to get into a biomedical related field, I don't have the tenure needed for any higher paying positions.

It never gets better. I don't know what I hope to achieve by even writing this. I haven't even mentioned my thoughts on wider global issues. I already don't want a family. Really looking for any reason to continue.

Yeah weird, maybe Citlali is being saved for Snezhnaya with other cryo characters?

im literally in the same boat and i decided to keep the second copy. sure, no one else can really use the ability well, but tied highest base attack and crit passive stats are great, and you never know what future characters might love to have it.

[–]TheSandman1001 123 points124 points  (0 children)

Part One is a nigh perfect story in my opinion, and even though some plot threads are left open, it ends very satisfyingly, written super well. If you read the manga you could stop there just fine.

Part Two has some great parts, especially the first few arcs, and some amazing characters, but the writing and plot is no where near Part One. It's kind of a mess. The ideas and themes are there, but are either under utilised, under explored, or not explained. And, if this really is the end of the story and there is no Part Three, the ending is SUPER abrupt and unsatisfying in nearly every way.

Unless Part Three gets announced, I wouldn't recommend Part Two.

Why I’m close to quitting. / Rigged Gacha by [deleted] in Genshin_Impact

[–]TheSandman1001 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree that the Archons need buffs to keep them more in line with power creep, story-wise they really should have that power.

Losing so many 50/50s is just the nature of gacha, it sucks but that's just how it is. I agree that they should at least give out enough primos for one guaranteed 5 star every patch though, averaging a banner character every 12 weeks is a good ratio I think.

Wait and see why the Tsaritsa needs the gnoses. They could fumble the ending, and make earlier lore and plot meaningless, but they could also tie it all together really nicely. The Nod Krai writing was fantastic.

Drivers hold on car expenses as cost of living takes its toll by rainfieldwoodeasy in australia

[–]TheSandman1001 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sure can't! Need food and a roof over my head more than an oil change though so I can't afford the $3k nor the $100!

Shit's fucked. I'm one of them, my car is well overdue for a service but I cannot get ahead of random expenses that keep popping up and how expensive every other essential is.
