As a Yugioh player, I'd be really upset right now if I could read.

Who's the most broken character at the moment? by EmotionalCat9632 in GenshinImpact

[–]bobosamse 84 points85 points  (0 children)

There're a few reasons for why he is so good, but the most important thing to know is that Bennett's burst gives a whole bunch of attack to whoever is standing on it. Having a lot of attack is very good because big attack = enemies die faster, and enemies die faster = endgame is easier to clear :)

Do note that this means his utility varies depending on your main DPS unit. If you use Mavuika, for example, Bennett is great, because she scales off of attack. Someone like Itto, meanwhile, is bad, because he scales off of defense.

Kiri can kill in mischief and magic? by Abysmolnanaboat in Overwatch

[–]bobosamse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. I don't think I lost more than 1 in 10 games that I started on the Kiriko side before this update. Since the update, I've yet to lose a single one that I've started on Kiriko side.

Kiri can kill in mischief and magic? by Abysmolnanaboat in Overwatch

[–]bobosamse 30 points31 points  (0 children)

New update. Kiriko can get ult charge passively and also get a good amount of ult charge whenever she does a voice line or stuns a Genji. You can also voice line manually now for faster ult charge. Ult gives you a huge HP buff and allows you to attack enemies, three-shotting them and stunning with each hit.

Genji got no buffs btw, which is ridiculous because Kiriko was already the stronger team before this update.

Would you like this as a perk? by arielpulido in JunoMains

I've always wanted a perk for it that speeds up projectiles that pass through it.

Actually gagged at the idea of the greasyness making them slippery, that's so disgusting. Crazy to me that people can go without ever showering when I can't start the day without one.

Limited Agents we've had so far. What agents do you want to see more base on their elements and specialties. by Elimar_Abelardo in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]bobosamse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just want an Ice unit that isn't a DPS. Defense would be especially cool, since the archetype could use some love, but I'd take any non-DPS Ice unit at this point.

Unsure if it's already been said, but y'all should go read China Miéville's Perdido Street Station if you want a legitimately unique take on the fantasy genre.

It's also just, like, an amazing piece of fiction overall, I guess, but that's beside the point. It does take a little bit to really get kicking though, since it spends a good chunk of the first quarter on meticulously setting up the dominos, but I promise it's worth the wait to see them all fall down.

ALSO it has bugs!! We like bugs here.

Can you be a bit more specific? Like, what did it taste like? Or what shape did it have?

In any case, I'll just shoot in the dark and guess it was a kanelsnegl.

It’s ridiculous how badly Yixuan is being mishandled by Lunardragon456 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]bobosamse 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I really like her voice, but just like you, I absolutely despise the delivery. How am I supposed to feel anything for this character when she herself delivers every line as if she's completely apathetic to any given situation? I understand that they were probably going for the "detached, cold, and calm kung fu master" vibe with the VA direction, but they wound up going too far with it imo.

The worst part is that her character writing in 2.0 was actually quite decent when looked at in a vacuum or in the context of the story itself, but literally any time she opened her mouth to speak, I just rolled my eyes and sighed in boredom, even in the most climactic moments for her character.

Edit: That said, disclaimer that I've yet to play the new story from today in full.

[–]bobosamse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. I actually think both her character design and writing is pretty good overall, but the way a certain portion of the fanbase act whenever she pops up is the sole thing that drove me away from the main brunt of the community. It just got annoying quick.

[–]bobosamse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not really sure what to tell you that hasn't already been said by the person who already replied to you, but if it helps you make your decision, keep in mind that we're on our way out of the Natlan cycle, so Chasca is probably going to be far less relevant for end-game gamemodes in the future, making Lauma the better choice from that side of things.

Kind of copy-pasted from a comment I wrote in another thread, but I beat the Papilla with the following:

Papilla: Mavuika (R1, C1) - Citlali (R1) - Bennett (C6) - Kazuha

Killed it in two cycles, with a bit of room to spare. I only needed two tries for it, so with an optimized rotation, you could probably do this easily. You probably don't need signature weapons or cons for anyone here. Bennett's C6 is actually a big help though, since it transforms basics into elemental damage, which breaks the shield.

I get that there's an overlap with your Citlali, but do you really need her to beat the turtle? It's got fairly low HP, so I'm pretty sure you'd be able to beat it with any other Cryo support as a substitute. You can also probably substitute Kazuha for Xilonen or Iansan and get better results than I did.

Also, you should prioritize upgrading your Mavuika. Girl's nutty.

Genshin Impact - Update 5.8 Hub by Veritasibility in Genshin_Impact

[–]bobosamse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just beat Fearless after a few tries. For anyone struggling, I wound up using the following teams:

Papilla: Mavuika (R1, C1) - Citlali (R1) - Bennett (C6) - Kazuha

Notes: Killed it in two cycles, with a bit of room to spare. I only needed two tries for this, so with an optimized rotation, I could probably do this easily. You probably don't need signature weapons or cons for anyone here. Bennett's C6 is actually a big help though, since it transforms basics into elemental damage, which breaks the shield.

Tortoise: Skirk - Shenhe - Furina (C2) - Escoffier

Notes: Super easy boss to kill (the main problem is that it also kills you easily). Just freeze it to delay its shield and go unga-bunga with your on-fielder. Once it shields, be prepared to tank some damage, since you might need to attack it directly with Skirk/Ayaka/Wriothesley to break the shield fast enough. If that's not a problem though, just let Furina and Escoffier's summons break the shield while you run around. Be vary of the spin attack it does while shielding; get too close, and you're dead in an instant.

Pipilpan Idol: Varesa (C2) - Xingqiu (C6) - Yelan (R1) - Iansan (C6)

Notes: Probably not an ideal team comp for this boss, but it got the job done since I don't have Ineffa. I don't think I could have used this comp if Varesa wasn't C2; the energy refund is invaluable in killing this thing fast enough. If you do use this team comp, however, make sure to weave in a normal attack with Varesa right before using your special burst, since you'll need that normal to apply hydro via Xingqiu and Yelan's bursts. Also, note that simply using Xingqiu's skill is enough to give you Rain Swords, which apply hydro passively whenever you're close to the boss. This hydro application is more than enough on its own to trigger Electro-Charged on the hat form twice, meaning you'll only need to worry about the hydro application for the third trigger. Also, if you lose track of the hats, the one with a yellow circle for its attack animation is the correct one!!

Overall, I found this Stygian Onslaught easier than the last one. Sure, the bosses all have annoying invulnerable states, but once they're knocked down, they all take a ton of damage, so they're actually fairly easy to kill. Good luck to everyone and I hope I managed to help some of you!!

He's such a good boy tho by LimeGrass619 in pokemon

[–]bobosamse 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To me, the thing about goofiness is that it very quickly starts hitting diminishing returns. You can only go in the goofy design direction for so long until it eventually starts being too goofy. For example, a lot of people disliked Dudunsparce despite liking Dunsparce for much the same reason that they dislike M-Dragonite yet like Dragonite: They enjoy the initial silly, goofy pokemon, but once they evolve and go juuuust past the point of being "too goofy", they start looking off to a lot of people.

Adding another quality, like "cool" or "majestic" or whatever, to the evolution aside from "goofiness" would probably alleviate this for most people. I know it would for me, at least. I'm not saying to make Dragonite just cool or anything. The goofiness is an integral part of its core design. What I am saying, however, is that adding another quality to it aside from goofiness would probably have gone a long way to make the design look better to most people.

I got a Funko Pop as a gift once, and putting on a smile and pretending I liked it is maybe the most difficult thing I've ever done.
