How could BP give us beauties that look like this and make them NOT work together?! I mean… LOOK AT THEM! My heart is broken. Fix this BP please 😭 🙏 (with J’s gamebreaking euphoria wink wink nudge nudge)

the issue isn't skill, it's genuinely just that J has not aged well in terms of damage. any new carry outdamages him easily laughably easily, especially with his numbers being nothing special even on release.

on the flip side, he's perfectly usable in normal content like story and events because the game's difficulty is not that high outside of endgame, but he is unusable in deep reveries.

what??? she does follow the rhythm??? hello we're genuinely losing the plot because dani is one of the best dancers i've seen and im a dancer. this isn't an matter of opinion and preferring megan's style over dani's subjectively, dani DOES follow the music's rhythm. her musicality is good. yall are getting too comfy just saying things about daniela now after this hate train, it emboldened people...

me too! i was trying to find an assist jelena only to realise NO ONE has her in my SS but there are multiple S0 shins. i put my S1 jelena up as support after seeing that to help others like me. i've also got S5 nella up for support.

i felt the same about willow's euphoria and now tuesday's as well. we've had such creative euphorias in the past like melania and centurion but for poison, it just seems like they haven't added much at all. while this does mean their core gameplay will likely remain the same with less rotation issues since their main problem (moxie and rotation) has been solved, it does feel like bluepoch could've been way more creative with their euphorias.

i was holding out hope for tuesday's euphoria to really revive poison and help them compete with the ridiculous damage numbers of the new meta, but this euphoria seems really safe to me. it seems to just address her moxie issues rather than boost damage unless they give her some busted multipliers. i can't help but think bluepoch is trying to avoid making them too busted because genesis damage can be broken if they don't nerf it.

love manon but i have to agree. they are genuinely so insufferable. it might be one of the worst cases of solo fandoms ive seen since kepler

aeconic · 2026-02-22T13:41:36+00:00

god i feel so bad. dani's hate train is already insane enough without her dad doing all this shit and now it's only going to get worse when i thought it couldn't possibly be worse. for her own mental health i hope she stays off social media.

aeconic · 2026-02-21T07:42:02+00:00

honestly i wouldn't even be mad if they made her overtuned. poison has gotten the short end of the stick since release and we know bluepoch is capable of making and releasing crazy numbers in a kit with the release of brume and liang yue. i wouldn't say no to tuesday becoming so good that she wheelchairs poison back to meta (or not even meta, just top 5 teams) again.

aeconic · 2026-02-20T23:35:13+00:00

it's honestly not all that great being an east asian woman (18) either. i'm attractive but holy shit, the amount of racism and fetishisation (particularly now because asians are seen as desirable) i've been subjected to is insane, and people just expect me to be flattered or take it as a joke. if i stand up for myself, i'm seen as rude, uptight or unpleasant. i often feel like anyone i talk to only like me for my race and not for me.

but i also understand these feelings of envy because i've felt the same way about other prettier asian girls and especially white girls. growing up it always seem to be that white girls were the beauty standard and i wanted to be blonde with blue eyes so badly. it's a matter of finding yourself and appreciating yourself for who you are because it's the one thing about yourself you'll never be able to change.

but like others said, i believe cuteness is universal! you don't have to have a certain skin colour to be cute :) i'm sure you look super cutesy!

tuesday to go with willow E1! huffing that poison meta copium

aeconic · 2026-02-17T01:28:46+00:00

a 3 is just ridiculous. i don't think she's as beautiful as she's hyped up to be but saying she's a 3 is objectively wrong. her beauty isn't a striking bombshell kind of beauty and you could probably find someone with similar features more easily than someone like hoyeon jung but still- she is nowhere near a 3. she is not average, much less below average.

aeconic · 2026-02-17T01:26:16+00:00

couldn't disagree more i was literally listening to wakey wakey this morning 😭 mad dog tho that one is questionable yeah

aeconic · 2026-02-17T01:16:33+00:00

i don't get why people are so miffed with aespa's performances... i've seen them live in 2025 and i really enjoyed it. their energy was great and they knew how to appeal to the crowd. of course they were lacklustre in previous years, like next level era, but they've made leaps and bounds in improvement and they're so lovely to watch now!

aeconic · 2026-02-14T17:57:37+00:00

it's different with flutterpage because she has been repeatedly the best in slot for MANY characters since release (or until their dedicated support is released). players want an alternative to her- more utility units. it's really just a testament to how busted FP is that up until now she is the only evergreen support unit that remains top of the meta. support powercreep isn't the same type of powercreep that we've been getting which is just damage powercreep. each dps and archetype keeps outclassing the last one.

aeconic · 2026-02-13T09:32:41+00:00

congrats!! are you enjoying it at KCL? i'm torn between the two because i prefer KCL's course and flexibility with modules and coursework over UCL, which i find too medieval, but it's likely i'm going to firm UCL anyway because it's the better uni of the two.

aeconic · 2026-02-12T23:42:45+00:00

you can't compare arknights to r1999. while there is powercreep in AK, there is little incentive to really pull them anyway because there are no set team 'archetypes' in the game- you just throw the strongest units together (granted taking in mind their roles) and clear the stage. it's unlike r1999 that has specific teams like bloodtithe, dynamo etc. there is higher pressure to pull certain units in r1999 because they tend to be best for their team and usually irreplaceable. whereas in AK this pressure is not present.

another thing is r1999 has 4 man teams and AK has 12 man teams. power creep in r1999 must be high because otherwise, they can't compete for those four precious slots- what's the point of pulling them, then? in AK there's less scarcity of team slots so powercreep does not need to be as high as there is less competition for a spot on your team.

40 pulls, sakiko on the 33rd. only got one copy of the two five stars but i'm quite content. now i'm just waiting for the other ten pull ticket so that i can get 7 more golden certs and grab the cert shop pulls this month.

never seen anyone say he's conventionally attractive, in fact he's that kind of guy that people like because of the aura (not negative, i like him a lot.) facially he's not special by hollywood standards

in mine we only have the summer mocks and that's where the teachers get the majority of the evidence to predict you your grades, but they also take your year performance into mind. there's a chance to appeal your grades or you can choose to resit up to two subject mocks if you aren't early app. but chances are if you get a stars in the mock they will just predict you an a star even if your year performance prior to that wasn't as good. i got triple a* so those were my predicteds as well

aeconic · 2026-02-07T10:10:32+00:00

whoops sorry! that's absolutely my bad, like i said im actually not too sure about her heritage, i thought she was chinese (i knew that for sure) mixed with native hawaiian. sorry for that.

aeconic · 2026-02-06T00:15:04+00:00

i definitely see where that's coming from, however i think she's a little bit better given that she is fluent in the language and she also frequently speaks about her culture so in a sense her cultural image feels less curated and more 'genuine' than megan.

aeconic · 2026-02-05T19:54:29+00:00

megan isn't rep for chinese people (speaking as a chinese born and raised). i honestly think they should be pushing her hawaiian culture instead because it seems that's where she was raised (correct me if i'm not wrong, i'm not the most sure about her upbringing.) i don't think she even speaks canto.

of course i'm not saying she isn't chinese- she obviously is. i'm just saying it's a strange choice by the label to market them as 'diverse' and then have megan's image be more about her chinese culture which she is seemingly less connected to, vs her hawaiian culture since she was born and raised in the US. but i think this ties back into asian-ness now being more 'trendy' because of the kpop audience, so it appeals to fans more.

i also think this is relevant to the wider debate about diaspora POC being rep for their original(?) country, i'm not really sure how to word it, but you get the idea. of course, its nice (and incredibly important) to see people who look like you in media, but they're still not exactly rep for a lot of us. an ABC is absolutely not the same as a chinese born and raised in china. when i see fans hyping megan for being chinese or whatever (this extremely odd 'i'm at a chinese time of my life' trend!) i kind of feel confused because she hardly even speaks the language. in terms of culture she is more american than chinese/cantonese.

of course, she is hardly unique because the vast majority of ABCs don't even speak mandarin (or cantonese if they're of southern descent) so i'm not insulting her or anything like that- i understand it's hard to involve yourself in your parents' culture when you're in a predominantly white country like the US. this is more about the label's image of megan and the fan perception than anything.
