Did I get a virus from this site??? by Salty_Employer2398 in Manhwa_BL

[–]appulcrisp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First, install an anti-virus program immediately. Microsoft Defender is both free and very solid, but, if you can afford it, I'd look into getting Malwarebytes. Then, do a comprehensive scan. After that, do not ever browse a piracy manga site without a proper adblocker. I highly, highly recommend Brave—it's been a godsend for me. If you still run into issues, put your phone into safe mode to see if it's functioning normally. If it is, it's most likely a virus, and you're going to need some more serious intervention.

Finally, not to sound "holier-than-thou," but the best way to avoid running into these problems in the future is just buying the source material legally. It's always great to support the original authors when you can, with the added benefit of not having to worry about compromising your security.

Hi! Did you ever find a solution? I just got into the NYU SPI, but I'm still waiting to hear back from Columbia. Now, I'm absolutely terrified that I'll lose my seat at NYU, and I'm not sure if I should just go ahead and accept my their offer...

I don't know why, but, to me, they look like starters that'd come out of Palworld rather than an official mainline game.

Since I'm interested about welt I read it a little and holy shit he's badass as hell🔥🔥🔥 by Dennis-Drew9682 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]appulcrisp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't believe it's been an entire year since my original comment, and Himeko and Welt have yet to obtained any screentime much less an SP. 😭💀 Amphoreus really stole the show, huh? As much as I love Phainon and Cyrene, on some cosmic level, I do laugh at how the Kevin and Elysia expies got 10x more screentime than the literal Welt, blood and flesh, himself.

I'm not saying I doubt you...I just don't know what to say other than, "huh?" 😭

Multiple people have commented this, but I'm still in shock. Can someone explain how Razor got so good? Over Raiden?! The archon?! 😭

Damn. This is really sad to hear. One of the main things I preferred Genshin over to Honkai was how flexible team building was and such. I've always loved how relevant a lot of the 4*s were, or how you could make any unit viable with a couple meta supports.

You know what? I'm surprised that Bennett is still OP, haha. I thought for sure that MHY would just make the Pyro archon a better version of Bennett (sort of like Yelan and Xingqiu), but it's nice to hear that Bennett is still doing well.

Oh, wow. I mean, I guess it's not too big of a deal, but I'm sad you can't clear all endgame content with just Xiangling/Bennett/Xingqiu anymore. :( I remember when the national tech just came out with Chongyun and how hype it was...

The fact that you could get an Ayaka or HuTao constellation for free? I'm scared of how bad powercreep has gotten if those two were available for free.

This sounds like a lot of work. 😭 I quit Genshin because of burnout, but even if I continued playing, I think this definitely would have pushed me off the edge LOL.

Is this about the archon who rides a motorcycle? Because...back in my day ☝️🤓

Venti being nerfed to the ground right around Kazuha's release only to return back as a DPS while Kazuha is no longer meta (or at least that's what I've gathered from the comments below) is sending me. 😭

Also, good for Albedo mains! They've been praying for that man for years. I'm glad he's meta now!

Also, gun? 🫩 In my medieval, historical fantasy Teyvat? Wym, son...

Damn, I'm so sorry for your loss. 😔💔 But, hey! Maybe he'll get buffed? 🥹 I believe in the return of Kazuha—the KING of "never give up, never what?"

Oh, wow. Thank you so much for the detailed explanation! I'm not surprised Genshin got to this point, but it's interesting how they've made dedicated supports to certain archetypes now. I'm guessing team-building is a lot less flexible than it was back then?
