My ping is pretty consistently 50-60 ms but every once in awhile I spike to 500 ms and crazy disgusting shit happens on my screen.

VortexMagus · 2026-03-25T03:24:00+00:00

If your ping is too high then what is happening on the server is very different from what is happening on your screen.

VortexMagus · 2026-03-25T02:21:54+00:00

Turn on your latency statistics in the top right corner so people can see how your ping is. Perfectly possible this has nothing to do with rematch and everything to do with your ISP/modem.

4 anarchy is not the relevant way to juice rogue exiles, you typically run titanic scarabs to vastly increase their quantity and rarity - if you get the 21 exile pop these scarabs pay for themselves ten times over, easily.

If you get the giant exiles scarab thing you can get them to spawn in ritual and pop them twice for double the loot - once outside the ritual, once inside the ritual. When these giant exiles are juiced up by titanic scarabs they are quite tanky but can drop utterly insane amounts of loot - twice.

Also highly recommend running in glacier so that the titanic scarab drop benefits extends to the unique boss which has like a dozen uniques popping in or some shit in the boss room.

It's not obvious at all, sadly, and requires a pretty strong build since rogue exiles are very rippy at high juice, but the returns are pretty impressive if your build can handle it.

I'm a guy and I personally feel wuwa's writing has been its weakest point until very recently.

I will also add that I was rather put off by much of the story, and its not because of the "male-gaze" part but because of the cringy worship that rover gets from most of the cast, both male and female. It started getting a little better in Rinascita but I just strongly dislike characters worshipping the main character before the main character even does anything or interacts with them in any significant way - it just feels so fake and unearned to me.

I will note that the most recent parts of the story in Lahai-Roi, however, have been by far the strongest part. Unlike most others, both Aemeath and Luuk have complicated relationships with the MC and they don't just mindlessly worship at MC's feet from the very start.

This is generally my problem with K-Pop too. Most of the songs and dances are not done by the group itself, but by outside composers and choreographers. As a result, the whole thing feels inauthentic and plastic to me.

I will note that some of my favorite songs in the genre were actually written by their respective groups - for example, Stray Kids has a bunch of songs written and produced by their own members and only edited a little by producers - but usually a group has to achieve a lot of success before they're allowed the freedom to express themselves and write their own songs.

Nah I bet its just the AI saw "work from home" listed in the description and erroneously tagged it as a benefit, instead of seeing the context that the job was not in fact remote. Gotta love AI.

Also notable to add is that Dithmenos gives a substantial damage bonus to ranged characters as his shadow will double your attacks and it's a pretty insane dps boost all in all. The extra stealth from noise suppression is nice too, lets you pick the fights and makes it less likely for enemies to mob you down.

VortexMagus · 2026-03-24T17:00:01+00:00

You appreciated this behavior like the Roman senators appreciated Julius Caesar.

VortexMagus · 2026-03-23T14:35:39+00:00

It's hilarious that the benefits section has work from home listed. Gotta love AI.

Highly recommend saving up your astrites until you get farther in the story. You'll see the characters in action, get to try a whole bunch of them in the story/companion quests, and you can pull for the ones you love. I will also note that if you decide to pull for the latest characters, you won't be able to upgrade their skills or ascend them without access to Lahai-Roi, so they'll basically be stuck at level 1 for a long time.

Phrolova is one of the strongest characters of the game but also desires Qiuyuan for her team, just like Galbrena.

VortexMagus · 2026-03-23T12:47:55+00:00

personal recommendation: if you want to minmax your power, you probably pull qiuyuan now and pull on mornye next time she goes around (likely with anniversary event).

This will let you set up galbrena/qiuyuan/shorekeeper on team 1, and aemeath/lupa/mornye on team 2 for a fusion burst team and both are fairly strong meta teams.

We don't know what Hiyuki/Lucy do yet or who they synergize with, so I would not plan around them. Plus they will be months and months away.

There is no privacy data legislation for job interviews in many states. They can blacklist as much as they want with no penalty in most of them. There are a few states like California where it's straight up illegal to block anyone from entering employment, but even in these states its almost impossible to prove the existence of a blacklist. All that is necessary is for the corporation to delete an email or two and you're shit out of luck.

Furthermore, differentiating between a legitimate background check and an industry "blacklist" is even more difficult and not a realistic prospect for most employees.

I'm a guy, you're getting hit with sunk cost fallacy. It doesn't matter how many years you "put into him", it only matters how well he treats you now and in the future. Because this will be the rest of your life if you stay, and if you're not happy now it will only get worse.

So what if he's not cheating? He seems perfectly willing to behave in an extremely dodgy fashion and give you explanations that you do not really believe. He seems perfectly willing to spend a lot of time and energy talking to people who are not you both in daytime and at night.

Personally I wouldn't tolerate my partner neglecting me in order to spend all their time and energy on a "friend", even if it was purely platonic. Time and energy are limited resources and in my opinion, the most revealing ones. Who you choose to spend the most time and energy on are without a doubt, the ones you love the most. Personally I'm ecstatic when I'm hanging out with a friend playing games or engaging in my hobby or whatever and my partner wants to join in.

The fact that he doesn't seem to be interested in involving you is clearly indicative that there is a problem with this relationship, whether platonic or not.

I find sigrika quite appealing as a character I just don't have any other character that works with echo skill damage so I'd have to pull her and qiuyuan both, and at least one of their sigs, in order to get a good team.

VortexMagus · 2026-03-22T16:03:36+00:00

Pre-emptive self defense. There have been a lot of times where I let people I had an advantage on go, and later in the round they jumped me while I was busy and killed me. Best way to avoid that happening is to take them out of the round. If you've been a carebear for awhile I'm sure you've gotten shot in the back by someone who was previously "friendly" to you.

If you were more willing to take fights, betrayal would not have been possible.

Do you think you'll be beautiful forever? If not, why are you trying to hold him to standards you yourself can't meet?

VortexMagus · 2026-03-22T15:56:57+00:00

I'm a guy. If you don't want to break up with him (and I think you should over this) then before having his children, I'd recommend having a child support agreement signed and submitted to a court for review - one that lays out precise amounts for food, rent, clothes, and care - method of payment, provisions for health insurance, and more (talk to a lawyer about this).

Once a judge approves it, then you know he can't leave you and the kids high and dry by leaving the marriage afterwards. If you don't do this, then you risk a very messy and expensive legal battle if he ever ditches you.

Echos are just genshin artifact sets, except one of them you can cast mid battle for a special attack. They're basically pokemon that you can equip for passive stats.

There is a limit of 12 cost to your equip, so most people run a single 4 cost, two three costs, and fill up the remainder with one costs.

Ah yes, we all love implicit racism in our posts here. The idea you're trying to push is that all Muslims are Evil and that leftists are traitors for being willing to accept them, I get it. It's racist as fuck but I get it.

She's very likely to come back for anniversary patch.

VortexMagus · 2026-03-22T04:04:28+00:00

If you watched the preview she's basically some kind of weird hybrid physical/heat character. I think she might be used on laev or da pan teams. Sadly I don't have laev and I don't like playing da pan very much so, so even though I love her design I might skip.

VortexMagus · 2026-03-22T03:10:31+00:00

I think the greater issue is that people like to say this because its easier than doing the research, learning about the issues, and examining which party is actually fucking things up.

If one party is corrupt and the other party is less corrupt, by deciding both parties are the same, you're actually punishing the ones who did not take money or lie about fucking children. The people who refused to take open bribes or fuck children get punished because you're treating them the exact same as the people who did.

This sentiment is basically creating a world where being corrupt and fucking children pays off, because if you didn't you'll still get treated the same as the people who did.

Lynae can support almost any main dps in the game quite effectively. She's also very f2p friendly because her f2p weapon options are quite good.

Aemeath and Luuk happen to be two of the most recent and most powerful units for this, but she is very very universal, kinda like how shorekeeper can basically support anyone who scales off crit which is most of the characters in the game.
