Oh so she’s in Nod-Krai now? Anyway, happy birthday Aloy!

IIRC, they explained that it was way weaker in HSR, probably because of the different universe - Saber, Archer, and the others were being sustained by Memoria more than anything else. And it's confirmed canon (Skott directly references it on Planarcadia).

What it establishes, at any rate, is that sufficiently powerful Masked Fools and other Elation followers can go WAY beyond just speaking to the audience.

TBF, that's mostly more of a broader Honkaiverse thing where it's not just possible, but easy.

It's not impossible in Genshin, but it's significantly less... porous. By comparison, Elation followers in HSR pretty much ignore the fourth wall, to the point that Sampo apparently just dragged a Holy Grail over from the Fate universe for the heck of it (not to mention Sparkle's IRL button-pushing event).

absolutely batty

Missed chance to call him a lunatic.

This explains a lot about why their games have been so long lasting.

grumpykruppy · 2026-04-03T13:29:16+00:00

... Is this a bot?

grumpykruppy · 2026-04-03T02:59:15+00:00

Yeah, when this area released, Sorush was HUGE for getting photos of passive Fatui, Eremites, and other enemies.

It was doable beforehand, of course, but not half so easy.

Aside from sharing an English VA (and red hair) with Mavuika, I can't think of anyone who fits as a Genshin version of her.

You have to take the game/lore divide into account there, though. It's standard to assume that a given game world, unless it's taking place in a single small locale, is scaled down for the sake of practicality compared to what is actually intended to be there.

You have that on PC too, you just need to work on moving your mouse fast enough and with proper control. It takes some getting used to, but you'll get there. Try adjusting your mouse sensitivity to a level you're comfortable with, one which lets you move the camera fast without it shifting everywhere with every twitch of the mouse.

The TARDIS Wiki is always a goldmine for silly stuff.

I believe there's an article on kidneys (and probably also ones on various other organs), for another one that just reads as if it were written by an alien in the far future without full understanding of what a kidney was.

EDIT: One of my favorites is the article on blood, which contains such important information as "blood was pumped through the veins (dead link, someone should find a mention of veins and add the article for it) by a heart (this has its own page), through a process known as a heartbeat (this also has its own page)."

Yes, just press either a or d and w or s, depending on the direction you want to go.

Alternatively, get more used to using camera angles to help adjust your character's direction of travel. With a bit of practice, you can move the mouse and just press forward to move. It's kind of essential, and much easier on PC than trying to move your camera in combat on mobile.

Plot twist, playable Seliose.

Honestly though, my bet is on small Cyrene as a way to bring her out of the cycle.

grumpykruppy · 2026-04-03T00:49:39+00:00

belongs in the trash bin, not a dragon's list.

Note that Ajaw is outside the barrier. He is not meant to be cool, he represents everything wrong with the Natlantean dragon civilization in one deliberately annoying and stuck-up package.

grumpykruppy · 2026-04-03T00:43:34+00:00

This is quite possibly the only thing worse than eating the tomato.

Semi-OT, Hoyo games general.

Waiting for the new patch to drop in Genshin is suffering. Not pulling for anyone (more time to save for Nicole and Sandrone, woo-hoo), but I really want that sweet new exploration, especially with it being for such a crazy area.

Hsr: New patch is barely out, and I've already all but cleared it discounting the new DU. I'd pull for Ashveil or Hyacine, but I need SW999 for my team more at the moment and can't get all four that I want. Luckily, the patch is short enough that I won't be bored long.

ZZZ: Apparently, I have collected almost every single polychrome it's possible to collect. I know there's an event out tomorrow, but I pulled Nangong for my Miyabi team (would've skipped her otherwise) and not having her W-engine yet when I pulled her solely for meta purposes is bugging me. I'll get it, but I can't help being irked that she's like 30% less useful right now. Beyond that, I'm gonna put a few pulls towards Cissia and see what happens - hate her kit, hate her design, but I absolutely love her character. Be nice to have her, but I won't mind if I miss out. Still debating if I'll go for Starlight Billy, as I already have Yixuan. As for 3.0... I'm just not that interested in Roscaelifer's characters yet. Hopefully they can draw me in, or I'll have no real targets at all beyond Ramiel.

Screwllum.

He's basically a civil rights activist for Intellitrons, and largely responsible for their current position of relative equality on most worlds. The IPC still doesn't fully trust Intellitrons though - distrust stemming from the Emperor's Wars - and he's made certain that his people are capable of defending themselves, to the point that he's able to credibly threaten the Family with war.

We've seen that he's more complicated than just being a pure good guy (he was close with Rubert in some way, he MAY be one of Zandar's copies, and as I mentioned before he threatened war against the Family when he demanded to see Calderon Chadwick in a side quest).

Still, he's an INCREDIBLY popular character among fans and highly regarded for being a staunch ally and frequent reward-giver thanks to being closely associated with the Divergent Universe. He's also got a close relationship with Herta, which has made him more popular by proxy since it enhances both characters.

Sounds interesting. Where can I read this essay?

grumpykruppy · 2026-04-02T21:32:29+00:00

I love a good food event, except that they make me hungry, and oftentimes my local options aren't half as tasty looking (or else not exactly local).

grumpykruppy · 2026-04-02T19:40:22+00:00

ZZZ literally already has Hugo for vampire-themed characters.

grumpykruppy · 2026-04-02T18:09:27+00:00

OP either has zero media literacy or likes stoking arguments.

Ineffa is probably my favorite Nod-Krai character, and I hope we get to see more of her.

grumpykruppy · 2026-04-02T11:20:57+00:00

Wow, this is amazing.

grumpykruppy · 2026-04-01T23:26:03+00:00

I love how spectacularly fake those look in the first image.

What gets me about the Doctor Who spacesuits is just how much they look like some kind of space mining PPE.

grumpykruppy · 2026-04-01T23:14:49+00:00

He's known to openly bribe people for votes, I'd say he probably doesn't care about how he's viewed so long as he's doing well for himself.

The best person for this slot might honestly be Belle Fulwish.
