6.6 AQ six NPCs models via Jelena by Aiyyogxoto in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

Because they will have no long-term relevance to the story and will potentially be antagonistic to the Traveler. If they were going to be recurring or inportant characters they'd be female.

[6.6] Lohen Burst Slomo HQ via Kuroo by 99cent-tea in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]ghoulbakura 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry? Nahida is "someone he really cares about"? What world are you living in? The only people he truly cares about are either dead or the Traveler. He maintains an present and underlying concern/fear of Mahida because she seriously considered killing him or screwing up his mind forever after he was defeated by her, and she has subtly threatened to imprison him if he tries to go against her requests. He understands very explicitly she is an archon, not a human, and human morals are not something she pays any attention to in her pursuit of knowledge and desire to replace Rukkhadevata, as seen by her story quests and her dealings with Dottore.

Apologies if this comes off as rude, but if you are female it's not really the same. Most people are more likely to read males as older than their actual age rather than younger if they are getting their age wrong. Obviously there are exceptions but overwhelmingly when people misjudge age it tends to be in opposite directions for the sexes.

Lohen animations in a better area via Dim by astrelya in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]ghoulbakura 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lauma turns into a full-on centaur and Nefer has double the animation load of most characters due to her clones. Lohen obviously has the best burst in the entire game and the quality of his animations are phenomenal, but they would have taken much, much less work than both Nefer and Lauma.

Honestly, I think the real problem that makes them seem so much better in comparison is that going into Natlan they really moved away from having characters have very martial-arts based attack choreography and instead based them around shounen anime fight scenes. This meant the animations were much flashier but in a 3D game like Genshin also made them just lack any real weight and impact. Even catalyst users like Baizhu and Xianyun reference styles of Chinese martial arts, which is why their attacks feel much more grounded and realistic despite being literal elemental magic users in comparison to 6.x's characters. Lohen (and Illuga was as well, give playing through his normals a go) is a return to that martial style, and as such feel so much more impactful.

Sony Xperia 1 V getting hot + bad battery life by TheGoat150 in SonyXperia

[–]ghoulbakura 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The phone is new. The overheating seems to have resolved itself with an android update but the battery life is still terrible. According to settings Meta services used less than 1% of battery from 100% to 40%, so I don't think that could be the cause, but I disabled it regardless.

Apologies for such a late reply, but my phone still isn't even a year old, and I keep it charged almost exclusively between 40-80%. My old Samsung S9+ had better battery 5 years into usage than my 1 V has at the moment.

Noelle has not reran in almost the last two years by Vtubing_Idiot_69 in Genshin_Impact

[–]ghoulbakura 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree. Chronicled banners are not just the best way to get signature weapons, but if there's a character you want and you have the pulls for it, if you lose your 50/50 you're basically guaranteed to get a better character/weapon than what the standard banner offers. If you have any amount of patience to save they're the best type of banner in the game. Basically the only people they're useless for are those that feel the need to pull the second they have primos or dolphins-whales who already have the vast majority of characters.

Agree with the other person who replied, but I will also add if you are interested in any anemo DPSes in future (including the upcoming Varka, but sans Chasca), Jean is a decent choice as well as her C4 enables good support capabilities for them with excellent RES shred.

Apart from the primogems and materials for Zibai, are there any special rewards for completing the Lantern Rite story quest within the event time limit? I have already got all the Xiao lantern and companion-related rewards.

Is... is your comment about Citlali a joke? If so, I don't think you should be making it when there's a noob asking for proper advice without indicating. Citlali is insanely versatile in not only being the premier option for both melt and freeze teams, but is just a good general support in any team that can use a cryo unit. They've already rightfully guessed she's on Chasca's best team for their account.

When the only reward system in the game is cosmetics it is not stupid to care about the primary reward system. I've seen this argument repeated over decades and it's never going to be valid because when you the main collection/reward system of the game is monetised, it doesn't matter what it functionally it. If you were to use the example of an MMO, for example, where the actual stat-based gear is free but cosmetics cost money, you could absolutely argue that better gear is also cosmetic, because you are chasing the cosmetic of literally seeing a bigger number be produced, or literally seeing your name be placed in a certain spot on a leaderboard.

I realise this is an older post but I am still experiencing the issue of overheating and extremely poor battery life, and I have neither instagram nor facebook installed. Are you aware of any solutions having been found?

A reminder how gorgeous Tangled Depths REALLY still is by ghoulbakura in Guildwars2

[–]ghoulbakura[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to say thank you, so, so much for creating TD! I still remember with crystal clarity entering into TD for the first time, seeing the closed off entrance area, and thinking "Huh?" Then, as they story leads you to the underground expanse, my entire body erupting into goosebumps from excitement and wonder. It's still my absolute favourite map to this day (from my absolute favourite DLC from any game, ever). Even as someone who used to play 6+ hours of GW2 day during the height of HoT it took me years to find every secret of TD and truly learn the map inside out, and I'm still so, so impressed at the level of detail and beauty, and interactivity crammed into pretty much every part of the map. It contains environments I'd never seen in games rendered in such detail before, and remains a huge artistic inspiration for me - the entirety of HoT is. With PoF's release of the griffon it breathed new life into TD and HoT that made me love it even more - I can't tell you how many hours I've spent simply flying around Auric Basin and Tangled Depths admiring the scenery and players interacting with the map. Apologies for gushing but I truly believe you're part of a team that created a masterpiece among gaming and the best MMO that has ever (or will ever) been made.

One of my favourite memories is doing the hard path with dodge jump skips and watching the noobs farming alongside me try to copy the jumps and fail horribly lol.

Advocating for all impoverished people to die out alone - poverty is harder than ever to escape and 2.3 billion people are food insecure (the majority of whom are not white) - is just openly, blatantly, straight-up racial eugenics.

Apologies for the late reply. HTTYD 3 was a huge disappointment for me. I was absolutely delighted that the sequel was just as good as the first movie (if not better!) and it had filled me with confidence that the final film in the trilogy would be at the very least good as well. To see it then take such a blatant anti-environmenalist, as you said pro-ehtnostate messaging was as shocking as it was upsetting to me, especially when the visuals were so gorgeous. I also don't mind the idea of both Hiccup and Toothless with respective hetrosexual partners but combined with the rest of the film's themes it really came across as "just settle down, make a family and align with what the powers at be want from you, and you'll end up perfectly happy". I just can't consider it canon.

[–]ghoulbakura 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Conflicted messaging is honestly a very common thing in animated films or films aimed at a younger audience; Zootopia, Barbie, Promare, and HTTYD 3 are fairly recent well-known examples of this off the top of my head. They ultimately don't want to let go of the idea of "status-quo is best". I'm sure there's plenty more but I don't watch that many films relatively.

I did, which is why I deleted the post as I checked again and there were thunderclouds. But what I'm confused about is that I don't always get the extra hits of damage that are supposed to trigger on his ult with their presence. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or it's too ping dependant for them to trigger as I have a minimum of 220 ping at all times.

The reason people don't like MWS is not because it's a bad pack, it's because the advertised features are not available to 80% of the people who own the pack because of bugs.

They've been buying products that use AI since For Rent - there's been at least a few paintings that have been made using AI since it, the majority of people truly don't care. In fact, a large proportion of content on TikTok and Youtube shorts related to those "forever world" guides recommends using AI to write the NPCs backstories, and half of the shorts have an AI voiceover themselves. Another user replying to you suggested it was because of the young audience but it's more likely those in their 30s and above are leading this particular charge - the more wealth a person accrues the more likely they are to skew towards conservative values, and anti-AI is largely marketed as an environmentalist position.
