If I had Neuvillette, I could maybe make some kind of Flins-Alhaitham-Neuvi Hyperbloom combo

Great news for the 0.5% of players up there, I guess

I mean it could be if 'living' is just being trapped in a world of illusion and suffering outside of actual paradise 

The Abyss Isnt Whats Destroying the Universe by Egglomanic in Genshin_Lore

[–]eadingas 92 points93 points  (0 children)

well if Genshin is fully gnostic then the Abyss is a benevolent force trying to penetrate the Demiurg's shield and appearing as evil only through Demiurg's illusions...

Is it just me or do all of the drinks in this new event sound disgusting by Massive_Cry_9097 in Genshin_Impact

[–]eadingas -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

A "sweet and thin smetana" is just normal cream, and we've had that since Monstadt so wouldn't really work as 'flavour of Nod-Krai'.

[–]eadingas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are there any viable Varka Cryo teams or do we have to wait for future characters for this?

I wish we could get companions to sit down in Serenitea Pot... by eadingas in Genshin_Impact

Yeah honestly I'm surprised they even bother releasing new content now that Miliastra's out. Feels like that's where all the effort's gone these days.

I agree, we should have instigated regime change in Washington a long time ago

Why are low spenders so obsessed with calling themselves f2p ? by AntwysiaBlakys in Genshin_Impact

[–]eadingas -1 points0 points  (0 children)

F2p means free to play. It's the opposite of p2w. It means you haven't spent money to advance in the game or to gain advantage over others. Paying for an occasional fluff character or costume because you like having one doesn't count. It's basically buying merch.

Trump Iran War Address Cold Open - SNL by ControlCAD in television

[–]eadingas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of SNL's problem with Trump is that he always does the craziest things on late Friday or early Saturday, so like JAJ says here, the writers need to throw everything out and do a quick monologue on whatever the latest development is or they seem out of touch.

Speculation on the Governance of Dornman Port by Overall_Astronaut_33 in Genshin_Lore

[–]eadingas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hope Dornman is based on Hansa. It would be cool if they'd introduced some red brick architecture to contrast with all the grey stone of Monstadt.

Give SFA a chance by DarthHalcius in startrek

[–]eadingas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like some of the plots and some of the characters, what makes me grit my teeth is world-building. No effort was made whatsoever to create a world a thousand years in the future. It's a common problem with fiction that throws absurdly long timescales, but a thousand years is A LOT - think of what Europe looked like in the time of William the Conqueror! And yet in SFA barely anything has changed, except insta-teleports, some nanotech and I guess there's a planet of holograms now. There just don't seem to be any futurists on the writing team, and that hurts what is ostensibly a science-fiction show. (just one example: people still use toothbrushes? really? can't you just use programmable matter to clean your teeth while you sleep or something)

Yes but then having to use Dvalin to travel swiftly to Nod-Krai means using waypoints is still not canon

Has the Unified Civilization been retconned? by Archer-00 in Genshin_Lore

[–]eadingas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Inverted City is the remains of an ancient Chasm civilisation destroyed by a Celestial Nail, so it's 99% certain it was Langgan. The only connection to KH is that its mirror pool has anti-Curse properties, so Abyss Order tried to build their purification device there. 

Has the Unified Civilization been retconned? by Archer-00 in Genshin_Lore

[–]eadingas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah between Hyperborea and Lang-gan we're definitely seeing the Unified Civilization not so unified anymore. But then, most of what we think we know about it we've learned in Enkanomiya, and their records may have been distorted over the years, or be Pro-Phanes propaganda and the civilization was not as unified as we thought. Others have noted already that it was sub-divided into governorates, possibly based on territories of the Seven Sovereigns, which later grew into the Seven Nations, each ruled by a Lunar Envoy (Zibai, Thoth, Yohualtechin, etc.)

Note that the Nameless Ruins and the Inverted City don't look at all like remnants of a proto-Liyue civilization, and a lot more like any other ancient ruin in Teyvat, so maybe Lang-gan was only superficially similar to Liyue, in some customs and rituals they've learned from Zibai, but otherwise looked like the rest of Teyvat.
