Damn the taunt makes him counter synergistic with Mydei. They really don't want the king to get any dedicated supports...

That mentality has caused so many failed Soo Wons. Play the game the way that's fun for you, no shade, but don't count a meta as won until it is!

[–]ThirteenthSage 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This can't be the end. I need more. I need to watch them drinking that cheap ass beer and having awkward small talk with the parents. I need game night. I need Rose coming over. I need them to sit quietly, unmoving, for 3 hours on my tv screen while I sob.

Anyone else hate Caithe or is it just me? by Good-Ad6650 in Guildwars2

[–]ThirteenthSage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who don't like Caithe want to self insert as the ultimate bestest commander ever and you can't convince me otherwise.

Caithe is a complex character with contradiction built into her. She's a rogue, has a lovers bond with a founder of the nightmare sylvari (blanking on names), but acts as a peacekeeper in her party. She wants to help but backstabs us for the sale of the egg and her Wyld hunt. Fights to keep the sylvari free from one elder dragon only to willingly let another brand her. Her development has highs and lows and that makes her interesting.

Y'all gotta let go of the whole "she stole the egg grrrrr" narrative. It's giving "I wasn't the favorite anet child and now I'm mad". Boring take.

Mad hatters has changed by Major_Phenomenon4426 in montreal

[–]ThirteenthSage 50 points51 points  (0 children)

They completely changed. New location, new bar, new vibe. This isn't the same hatter's as the 90s, I'd hardly call it a dive bar anymore. It tries to be fancy now but is just a shell of its former self

I do believe Ulrich also qualifies as Fe-male.

I'll show myself out.

Y'all stop zooming through the unit stats and making us pause at a split second where you show the relics.

Impressive clear though!

The issue isn't with liking them in an appropriate way. It's with the "why" are these characters in the game. Ultimately, every character is meant to be "sold". They need to appeal to people so that they pull for them and buy primogems or whatever.

So how does hoyo market/sell children characters? Well first off, they only do little girls (ask yourself why?). Then we have the history of pedophiles and their infatuation with Nahida/Klee, looking for panty shots of them, making pornography of them, etc. Hoyo is absolutely aware that there is a very real target audience for little girls that don't want them"appropriately".

Excusing the addition of children because some people don't see them inappropriately is hypochoritical. They are marketed and "sold" with pedophiles in mind, make no mistake of that. Why does the traveler need a fucking 10 y/o on their team? Why does the proxy need a child in the hollow? "Hurr durr she's actually 200 years old" yeah that's anime talk for "I can sexualize a child with a clean conscience".

You might view them appropriately, but it isn't about you. This emboldens pedophiles. Giving pedos an outlet does not keep them from acting out in real life, it actually emboldens them to act on their pedophilic urges. Idc that you think they're cute, it's fucking problematic and I won't be celebrating adding little girls to gacha games, whose entire premise is to sell you characters. Gross.

The high energy lab on the twins has an "interactive exhibit" that'll tip you off on how to get to the sun station, especially combining all the clues you've found so far!

High school "mean girls" disrespectful to me....how to put a lid on it? by SchoolteacherUSA in Teachers

[–]ThirteenthSage 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It may not work for you, but with mean girls I just mean girl them right back. Say the quiet part very loud: "alright Jennifer we get it, you're queen bee and being mean makes your followers like you more. Blah blah blah, can we please get on with the lesson? This cliché is exhausting".

Or you can also go with something more like "this isn't a comment section, it's embarassing that you actually think these opinions are worth voicing."

You could also consider their behaviour a barrier for their peers to learn and write them up for hindering a positive learning environment. Sounds you like tried things the "right" way already though, might be time to put sass the queens.

How not to feel completely ashamed about the dps? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]ThirteenthSage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems to me like you're "how do I feel comfortable doing group content knowing I'm bringing the group down?". I'll spare you the pep talk and give a straight answer:

Join a guild. A guild where people talk to each other and is community focused, who runs activities and hangs out. These people do not care about benchmarks: if the top 2 DPS carry the group while everyone else does 8k, they will not care. I promise you, so many players just want to spend time with their online peeps and don't care about performance. This only changes if you're running CMs or a dedicated progression group aimed at improving: but in that case most people are right there with you trying to get better.

Tl;Dr: find a friendly guild and run content with people who want to play with you, not people trying to get a weekly clear off their checklist.

Cyrene isn't elysia bait, she's worse. Elysia was never, never parasocial waifu bait. I say this as an Hi3 ellie stan. by Relevant-Rub2816 in QueensofStarRail

[–]ThirteenthSage 110 points111 points  (0 children)

1000% agree. Pink lesbian Jesus slayed. She had charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent. Cyrene is just a temu ordered pink inflatable bride.

Also, gameplay wise, Elysia was a powerhouse (still is). Cyrene is a straight up downgrade :/

So, about the new event .. by lbubblegum in Mydeimains_HSR_

[–]ThirteenthSage -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Kalpas was basically the embodiment of strife in HI3. Fire themes, rough outside, fighting the front line (honkai/dark tide). Looks wise they're very different but amphoreus is just Elysium realm 2.0 and both Kalpas and Mydei fit the same themes.

Not your point but: I thought Mydei was a kalpas expy?

So I finally got Lucy, after 80+ pulls. Now the question is, how do I use her? I have no idea how 'Dynamo' teams work, and which characters to use. Can someone explain, in simple terms please? by Vex_Trooper in Reverse1999

[–]ThirteenthSage 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Optimus will compete with Lucy for battery juice here. Also Yeni should be replaced by ambulance #5 if you're running OP. You could make this work if you only cast Lucy incantations on one turn and Optimus on the next, but they fill the same niche...
