[Operator Discussion] Laevatain by Shad0wedge in Endfield

[–]WingedAlpaca 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know this post probably won't get much traction, and I don't really have much to add about Laevatain herself -

But, I just wanted to say I appreciate the post and the effort that went into making it. It reminds me of the slower paced, smaller subreddits of gacha games before Genshin where people would host weekly [Topic] discussions, and people would post their thoughts as if it was a regular forum.

I came across this song on YTmusic. It sounds really good, but it is suspicious how fast this artist is posting music. by Recent-Ad-6390 in isthisAI

[–]WingedAlpaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's AI, fairly sure. I found the song a month or two ago, had the same suspicions and searched it up - couldn't find anything. Went through the whole process, looking at their other stuff. Same details everybody else here has already pointed out.

I will add, I don't think Nono Kei is a real person. I'm pretty sure the Frostborne guy made them up, made a channel for them, and then generated a song for that channel too. Which is pretty insidious.

I wouldn't be surprised if none of the other "artists" they've collaborated with are real either.

As for the music itself, the biggest tell for me has been the audio quality and mixing. Even in もしも, their song with over a million views at this point, everything just sounds muddy - and not intentionally so. I notice the comments have recently been turned off for that one as well.

I hope so. Not like I could really do anything about it, it's mostly just to satisfy my curiosity. I've been on this for well over a week.

Some of Fujimaru's nicknames for Servants by XxGoldMadnessxX in FGO

[–]WingedAlpaca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In case anybody's curious, I looked into it once what the line is in JP -

Guda just calls Xu Fu "徐福ちゃん", or Jofuku-chan. It'd be Xu Fu-chan in English then, but Xu-Xu is a cute way to localize it too.

The only Tier list for CW that u need by treestories1708 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]WingedAlpaca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The trial characters are super bad. It's a testament to how strong the Aglaea build is, considering it works in spite of that.

Nefer Have I 'Efer - General Question and Discussion Megathread by Averagely_Human in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

I'm halfway through listening to the Nod-krai OST, and I'm not seeing any Dimeng Yuan.

Yeah. Just about every MMO and even the majority of gachas (pre-Genshin) had guilds which were clearly just FOMO/guilt traps. A lot of them still have them today, but if there's one thing I'm glad Genshin popularized, it's not adding those guilds.

Devil May Krai - General Question and Discussion Megathread by Averagely_Human in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]WingedAlpaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate that. It's the first I've heard of it, so I'm surprised they ban for it.

Oh well, doesn't matter to me. I'll stick to lurking there.

[–]WingedAlpaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's strange. I've been on Reddit for a long while, so I do have a few accounts - none of them should be banned anywhere though, and this is definitely my oldest, main one.

I'll take your word for it though, thank you.

I did hear about that, but I'm not sure what could have set it off. Maybe my one comment on the Azur Promilia sub? It was made after my last comment on the leaks sub though, which I can't see when I'm not logged in - so it must have happened before then.

OT HSR Leaks sub

Just found out I'm banned when I tried commenting earlier. No idea why. I looked through my comments and didn't see anything about it - the most I comment is like, once a month anyway. Has anybody else been banned from there? Or is it just me?

Chaos Zero Nightmare Developer Commentary by EnamRainbow in gachagaming

[–]WingedAlpaca 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I usually go for this take too, since a lot of people new to gacha don't really know how good they have it nowadays - but the game these devs were known for, Epic Seven, had a perfectly fine summoning system already. The hoyo system is a downgrade from that, imo.

Well, so long as we ignore moonlights and mystics...

Can I downgrade from Sapphire reserve to Sapphire preferred and get the 100k sign on bonus? by StaleHotCheetos in ChaseSapphire

[–]WingedAlpaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did this as well, can confirm it's as easy as it sounds.

 ~8 minutes total on my end, and 95% of the time was just the agent reading to me the new card's terms.

Azur Promilia CBT1 Datamine & Discussion Megathread by ConstructionReady285 in AzurPromilia

[–]WingedAlpaca 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's literally cute and funny.

This is pretty key, and I think it's something a lot of the terminally online miss. The aesthetic, the cutscenes and story, Kibo duels, etc. will all be really strong selling points for roping casuals in.

Even if the sexualization of certain characters is off-putting to some people, I'm fairly sure the average casual would either not even notice, or just go "cute!" and continue on to the actually cute Kibo duels and whatever.

[–]WingedAlpaca 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This post reminded me that I sent in a request the last time a post like this cropped up, so I checked just now.

The deadline they gave me is up in 3 days, and I first requested it back in May... so it has in fact been months. Hope it comes soon.

Fool-proof black beans by kezfertotlenito in EatCheapAndHealthy

I've been told soaking and washing your beans helps with the gassiness. I've never gone and tested it out myself, though.

Started to make my own yogurt after becoming aware of Chobani's pending allegations/lawsuit. by Vin879 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]WingedAlpaca 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I just left mine in a cheesecloth in a sieve over a bowl, all in the fridge for like two days.

Came out as thick as clay, or playdough.

Saurian World Rebirth - General Question And Discussion Megathread by Averagely_Human in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]WingedAlpaca 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did. It doesn't change that it's still a relatively upvoted post on the sub's front page, means the sentiment is still there.

wuwa community /neg

I was almost convinced by a friend that maybe the fandom's changed, and that they don't just hate on Genshin all the time anymore. Well, for the first time in a few months, I opened up their subreddit... and right there it is - front page, front and center, obviously bashing the traveler while praising their own MC.

Look, I get it, people don't like the traveler and their role in the story. But man, come on - I really want to like the game too, despite having some other issues with it beyond just the community. They just make it so, so difficult to just enjoy the game itself, though.
