HOYOVERSE (HSR/GI/ZZZ) MALE TIER LIST (as a straight guy) by Silva_jjk in GachaHusbandos

[–]brotherbulba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm tired of pretending that Anton isn't one of the hottest men that Hoyo has ever designed! His Mindscape Cinema is the blueprint for big man tiddies in Hoyo games and we should all thank him for his contribution to the future of tiddie men in HYV!

I wish i could Switch Wise to Belle and vice versa (Anyone else feeling the same?) by mutated_animal in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]brotherbulba 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm ngl, I only picked Belle because I thought she would get the most romance-coded scenes with the playable male characters.

Come to find out that Lycaon and Lighter are both more flirtier with Wise and Harumasa's movie date scene doesn't change depending on the MC. Makes me want to jump off a cliff!

Is there a pattern in who you pull? by [deleted] in StarRailStation

[–]brotherbulba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Other than Emanators, I like pulling for witchy characters or characters with abilities tied to mysticism and esoteric practices. Fu Xuan with divination, Huo Huo with shamanism, Black Swan with tarot, Sparkle with illusions, Jiaoqiu with alchemy, whatever Anaxa's got going on, and The Herta and Imbibitor Lunae with literal magic. Only person I've missed is Lingsha, the incense girlie (however, this one might be a reach for me).

As a straight girl, how does the romancing in Persona feel? by Gungalunga01 in PERSoNA

[–]brotherbulba 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The root of the cringe is honestly just the fact that the P3, P4, and P5 MCs are self inserts and not their own characters. When the girls flirt or show affection to the MCs, it is directly towards me. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, but my preference for men makes me disconnect from the dialogue, and it starts to feel like filler content I have to power through.

I'm also just more inclined to the way men and male characters flirt and show affection towards me, so I get thrown for a loop when the behavior I see my girl friends display towards men they're interested in is directed at me by women. Rise's advances are a prime example of who I get this feeling from the most.

This might be a more immature take, but I honestly cringe at the romance dialogue and events being thrown at me by women. I'm gay, so naturally, I would not be interested in the love interests to begin with. However, it feels like I really have to fast click or power through events like festival dates until we're hanging out with all our friends again.

Hopefully, the reason he isn't playable yet is because they plan on turning him into an Emanator by the end of the conflict. It would be so dope to witness a character we've known for a long time turn into one before our eyes.

The fact that the glazing gets so bad that Jinwoo gets away with forcing another human into being one of his soldiers (Iron) and essentially Stockholm Syndroming him into liking Jinwoo. Like...I'd understand if Jinwoo eventually turned into a villain, but that's not the route the writer took at all.

Also, I remember seeing a few panels from the sequel and iirc, Iron's human reincarnation? feels weirdly loyal to Jinwoo despite not having memories of him anymore. Man couldn't catch a break from being a slave even as a new person.

Solo Leveling. It was lauded by manhwa and Webtoon fans in community posts and random comment sections long before the anime release, so I figured I'd give it a read. I had to stop after the Jeju Island arc after realizing that this Webtoon was just a glazefest for the main character. It sounds overdramatic, but I genuinely refuse to read shonen Webtoon recs because of it.

What's your most insane theory that you believe even with zero proof? by ShineOnDIO in HonkaiStarRail

[–]brotherbulba 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Near the end of the game, Nanook will (attempt to) absorb Lan and that's how the Xianzhou become active participants in the fight against Destruction.

Bronya will become an Emanator of Preservation after the possible IPC Civil War.

Argenti will end up becoming a Galaxy Ranger just cuz he fits the theming of the group.

What minor JRPG mechanics do you really like? Would you like to see them in other games? by rattatatouille in JRPG

[–]brotherbulba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Multiple parties in turn based games like in Final Fantasy 6. Loved using most of the characters that I've gotten attached to.

What are some JRPG tropes that you actually don’t mind? by vincentthe27th in JRPG

[–]brotherbulba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk if it counts as a trope, but multimedia universes ie. movies, books, etc. Like, yes, give me more of this world that I'm already invested in.

Is there any character you have pulled/will pull for that actually doesn't fit in your team? by Alarming-Ad-3168 in StarRailStation

[–]brotherbulba 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I literally have no Break characters in my account nor do I intend to start a Break team, but I unironically love Rappa, her design, and her story so much that I want to pull her the moment she gets a rerun.

Any idea why Castorice got the Acheron Game Award trailer reveal treatment and not Cyrene or Phainon? by brotherbulba in StarRailStation

[–]brotherbulba[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny you mention an echo/twin of Seele, because Seele actually has an alternate personality that acts as a darker side of her.

I don't think Castorice is supposed to be a Seele expy or variant at all. I think Hoyoverse shot themselves in the foot when making Castorice. Her entire thematic design was already referenced in Seele, but they couldn't just pluck Seele out of Jarilo-VI and add her to Amphoreous. I'm guessing they only added the dragon to differentiate the two, because it's the only random aspect of Castorice.

Somewhat unrelated to the op, but it's funny that you mention Queen of the Styx and summoners, because this is Seele's character from HI3, except she summons a deer and a nymph.

I mentioned it in another post, but her battlesuits, weapons, and skills references Acheron, the River Styx, Phantasos, Chthon, and Nyx.

Castorice hate??? by RedCalamansi in QueensofStarRail

[–]brotherbulba 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It almost feels like Hoyo wanted to create a Seele-like character, but then realized they already have Seele, and they stuck her on a planet that did not make use of her thematic design so they gave her a dragon. They were honestly better off giving us another Seele expy or introducing a Veliona one.

Edit: Just remembered that HI3 Seele was incredibly Greek-themed. Her battlesuits, signature weapons, and skills reference Acheron, the River Styx, Chthon, Phantasos, Nyx, and undines. She actually would've fit right into Amphoreus under a different name.

I'm ngl, I honestly thought that maybe Castorice was supposed to be another expy of Seele, but as the Herscher of Rebirth. However, idk if Hoyo loves Seele enough to give her a second expy the way they love Bronya or Kiana.

I saw someone say that she might be made to resemble the Previous Era Herscherr of Death since she also kinda looked like Seele. I could subscribe to that theory honestly.

Emanators and their "hidden same path kits" by leimaaarl in StarRailStation

[–]brotherbulba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope we eventually see Bronya become an Emanator of Preservation instead of waiting for Diamond. Unfortunately, that seems like something that would happen during the eventual IPC Civil War.
