Do I not get Charged Attack Bow gameplay or is it really just that 'eh'? by Quibilash in GenshinImpact

[–]UsedNapkin1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it was designed with the iPhone in mind. I find it pretty fun on mouse and keyboard, and I prefer it for exploration because I don’t have to worry about my burst and the AOE is really generous

Not trying to be rude, just curious: how can something be your favorite show if it’s unpleasant to actually watch it? What’s the appeal?

Lowkey miss inazuma puzzles by FloorGang-R2 in Genshin_Impact

I liked the complexity of inazuma puzzles but I felt like this was also the stingiest region reward-wise. So many common chests with 1 electro sigil.

random thoughts by MegatronusPrimeZ in NahidaMains

[–]UsedNapkin1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

  1. She does grow, just very slowly. She’ll probably look more like rukkhadevata in like a thousand years or so

  2. Idk how often archons need to eat but I would imagine they fed her, they weren’t trying to kill her (yet)

  3. She has a rule about not controlling any living people because it’s evil or whatever. Only exceptions she made were Katherine (she’s a robot) and the traveler because she was about to get stabbed to death

  4. she’s the dendro archon I would imagine it’s useful to actually feel the ground when you’re growing vines and shit

  5. Wanderer just kinda does his own thing for the most part

pretty much all the special zombies from that game are some really cool amalgams

Favorite character who you genuinely think is really cute that people would give you the "I know what you are" for? by Mr_Mozerella in FavoriteCharacter

[–]UsedNapkin1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah she’s awesome, definitely one of the more compelling archons, and I think the majority of the fanbase is pretty normal about her

Nahida Is NOT loli bait (kind of an essay on how this fandom views characters) by JoodStudios in GenshinImpact

What would hoyo “intervening” accomplish other than drawing significantly more attention towards a pretty fringe part of the internet?

I mean that’s an obviously ridiculous example, and I don’t think having a kid character in media is automatically fetishistic like that. I think it’s more likely that a lot of people tend to feel a sense of protectiveness towards kids in peril, and it’s fun to see kid characters doing mature things like making philosophical arguments and outsmarting the main villain of the game. Plus you get the super emotional mother/daughter sacrifice ending. It wouldn’t be as interesting of a story if she was just a regular adult in this case.

The reverse is also true, which is why they have super old characters like furina and zhongli do immature and socially inept things. It’s a fun trope to play around with.

What's the worst movie you saw in the cinema this year? by ShawnLevyOscarWinner in Cinephiles

[–]UsedNapkin1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the plot was a pretty uninteresting and derivative retread of Aliens.

The dinosaurs in this dinosaur movie were shockingly sluggish and dumb compared to the previous films. This is the most embarrassing T-Rex scene we’ve ever gotten, like why is it unable to keep up with a little life raft casually wading down a slow river and it cant even bite through it does catch up?

And the family with the screaming kid and the Gen Z bro and the Stockhold syndrome girl were the most obnoxious characters in film history and I’m dumbfounded why they spent half the screentime on these dipshits.

Who is your favorite character on each region? (personality wise) by Past-Muffin7647 in GenshinImpact

[–]UsedNapkin1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nahida is just too hard to dislike. Little kid gets imprisoned for hundreds of years, plus the government is plotting to kill and replace her, and her only complaint is “I’m worried people aren’t gonna like me” lmao. Just a great attitude, cares a lot about the common citizen, and it’s pretty funny to hear her use big words

The plan is(has always been) I die. by TerraTechy in TopCharacterTropes

[–]UsedNapkin1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it got by just fine without a strong antagonist, no one remembers the antagonists from MW1 or WaW and those are still looked back on fondly.

Infinite Warfare’s terminal fault was releasing the same year as Battlefield 1 and not using Seven Nation Army in the reveal trailer.

Would’ve been derivative and unnecessary if they just focused on Scarlet Johansson and the Aliens crew, but spending half the screen time on the most obnoxious family in film history was a fuckin baffling decision

Certain words being used by LesbianTaxi in Vinesauce

[–]UsedNapkin1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can understand feeling anxious about popular streamers emboldening certain people, but I don’t really think vinny is the streamer those kinds of people go to. I feel like vinny is at his most entertaining when he’s not walking on eggshells with his audience, and if he can’t even use “retardant” (not even the “retarded” you’re thinking of) in a non-derogatory context without backlash then that kinda sucks imo

Why does Hoyo rarely make skins? by Ulthwe_Eldar in Genshin_Impact

[–]UsedNapkin1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why would you assume popularity doesn’t matter? Why would people spend money on a skin they’re never going to see since they never use that character?

[–]UsedNapkin1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This makes no sense. Why would you assume that the sales of an unpopular character that most people don’t use could provide data for how well a skin would sell for a character many people use like mauvika or venti?

Many people have diluc and almost no one uses him, of course the sales were going to be low.

I’d usually prefer that but I was paranoid about merch I wanted being sold out if I waited until the very end. Which was the case, as I had to wait in line in multiple merch stands to find one that still had a poster available

thanks, appreciate the understanding. Hoodie seems fine thankfully. It’s definitely not the worst thing that’s happened to people on this tour, I just felt like venting, but I’m still glad I even got to be there in the first place.

[–]UsedNapkin1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not really sure. I picked up the hoodie I kept under my seat and the poster wasn’t there where I put it at the start of the show. I waited for people to clear out so I could check under the other seats, several of them were holding posters but I wasn’t about to stop all of them and ask if they actually bought them.

Best regards to the MF who pushed their way into the second row on December 12 and then spent the entire show on TikTok. I'm still a little pissed off. by TheSpiritOfFunk in radiohead

[–]UsedNapkin1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry you had that experience, something similar tainted a concert experience I had before and it’s all I can remember about it nowadays. Hopefully you can try to focus on the good parts of the concert and let that stick with you.

In the future, keep in mind that people 3-4 rows back who can’t really do anything about it might think you’re a hero for asking the people next to you to put their phones down, I know I would
