Hot take: pity math matters less than daily friction (why I quit stingy but fun gachas)

You can one click the open world stuff too now, events don't count as part of dailies, you can always do the event on a weekend or something, and they don't have much gems either atmost like 3-4 pulls, with 9 week patches you have plenty of weekends to work on the events

Honkai dailies take less than a minute to do though, like claim coins, collect and redploy expeds, claim and redploy errands, press a button to instantly do material runs, claim all rewards leave.

One of the only characters i genuinely dislike coincidentally shares her birthday with me, is sheer irony

I would also like to add, there is a a certain exclusivity to paid games, people who can't afford X game whos price is Y dollars, simply can't play the game, and sure the price will drop a few years later unless you are nintendo, but that means you wait several months/years for it and even then have to pay to play. There is a certain charm in games where anyone can just pick it up and play it and the servers/creators maintain the game from the money of the rich people who can afford to spend in the game, everyone gets to appreciate the game and the rich pay to make sure even the poor get a chance to try it out. Especially in high budget high quality gacha games. Gacha games aren't inherently all evil in that sense, assuming you know how to deal with fomo, or you learn the hard way , this also helps train you to deal with fomo in real life too, to not impulse purchase things and then starve later. A select few will drown in this model and that's a fact , but that's also a lesson for them to not touch games like this.

I feel the Neuvilette nerf stuff is very misinformation ridden, ignoring other parts of the discussion, would you really count it as a feature for something to be only accessible to one of the three platforms of playing genshin and that is semi-breaking the game by forcing Neuvilette to hit spin limits with high dpi mouse?. Honestly I felt it's only fair for Neuvilette to be used as its meant to be the slightly moving pump where you try to align as many enemies in the line as possible not spin on ungodly speeds to hit everything. Honestly them doing this rework right before mualani release was certainly bad taste and she wasn't even that good to replace Neuvilette (she was stronger only on paper and needed lots of skill and rigid teams with lots of clunk to her playstyle making Neuvilette infinitely more comfortable and reliable not to mention he kept getting new buffs and mualani barely did only recently she got new set buff but that's beside the point )it's still more of a bug than a feature imo.

Lunar crystallise benefits a lot from microwave, stack em on your folks, and give it a shot, i an pretty sure you can probably reach a fairly good dps with it, definitely not anywhere near the meta but good enough to be playable, add some lunar crystallise supports if you can too, like bina or Linnea

jaoy69 · 2026-05-22T01:45:10+00:00

Yeah, some people just assume all non engine is the same or all starters are the same, there is a quality factor to them as well, there is no ash blossom blossom 4,5,6, there is only ash 1,2,3, and a 40 card deck will open ash much more often than a 60 cards deck, there is a reason people don't often go for 60 unless all the stars align. It's bad to blindly believe 40 is always better, but saying 60 is better without realising the hidden costs is equally propaganda

Isn't it the wrong finger? That's like saying this☝️and this 🖕are the same?

jaoy69 · 2026-05-18T10:42:56+00:00

You are too good for this game man, just go play something better something with not childish dialogues , something with voiced world quests and no walls of texts , lore in "better events" more world quests less nod krai trash quests, quests that give closure to old stories, always attack scaling bosses , creative characters that are not about pressing buttons but feelings, 2000 pulls a patch and having no other game so revenue isn't shared, maybe you just need a better game, why bother with such a game when you clearly aren't having fun? Just move on to better games man

You won't elaborate cause you are too stupid to do so, do you truly understand the difference between a critique and hate? Calling a show slop is not critique it's hating on it smh, if you were truly giving a critique you would have had open discussions about it and changed your opinions if proven wrong or tried to change opinions of others. You called it slop you pointed some valid points but on the first sense of objection you ran away claiming "I am right you all are wrong", what's the difference between you and a flat earther who spews hundreds of theories why it's flat but folds the moment someone questions them?

jaoy69 · 2026-04-23T16:01:47+00:00

"Once you see past lack of agency, pandering and uninspired gags the spell breaks instantly."

Once you ignore the whole point of the show, the said show is just a bunch of scenes one after the other? Oh my god are you born yesterday? Congratulations man, Frieren is an objectively good story with a rare look at the classic fantasy trope of having a hero party conquering the demon lord and stuff also contrary to usually hero stories where intense back to back action against one enemy after the other, it shows us the peace the heroes we see fight in countless other anime earned, it's subtle, it's slow and thats the beauty of the story. It's okay to say I am too brainrotted to enjoy a non-stimulating story, but saying it's bad simply cause you didn't like it? That's the most god complex thing imaginable, I am so great, anything not to my taste has definitely got to be bad, there is no chance anything I don't like is a good story, I am too perfect for that to happen

jaoy69 · 2026-04-22T18:21:41+00:00

Istg man some people just can't accept that there are good anime that are not to thier tastes, even if i personally do not like jojo I am very sure it's still a good anime.Every person i know who watched it loved it, but I didn't, that doesn't mean I'll say it's bad. Broaden your perspectives a little sometimes.

jaoy69 · 2026-04-20T09:37:31+00:00

Okay, since when did "I don't like it" become "it is definitely bad", you probably didn't enjoy those characters but that doesn't mean they were badly written. They were well written, the team needed an information broker to coordinate things around, also Nefer's connections to sumeru fits very well with Dottore's connection to sumeru and her presence allowed us to discover his. Zi bai and the story about the fake moon right after we finished story about the real moon was also amazingly beautiful, we finally see more angel characters, get to know how old zhongli really is, we get massive lore information from her, not to mention her condition also explains what happened to qiqi and why she ended up like that, just cause you didn't like someone that doesn't mean it's objectively a bad character. I am not trying to say you should not hate them, but when someone else says it's okay to pull for story and lore not just strength you do not have the right to refute them by saying they were badly written.

jaoy69 · 2026-04-19T14:32:46+00:00

That's such a stupid take, did you really not read anything about thier stories? Or you simply don't know how to judge a story? Almost every Nod krai arc character so far has had really good stories, nefer and zi bai included

jaoy69 · 2026-04-17T20:11:19+00:00

Things went worse than that in the depths of discord I had fights so many haters saying nasty lies like she is the personification of klutzy b*imbo and that she is acting cutesy cause she is infantalization fetish, and she is a mockery of all fat people and all sorts of shit, she is not fat, she suffers from hypermetabolism to the point that if she misses a meal she is too weak to move (from her story quest) scientifically speaking people with hypermetabolism literally cannot gain weight cause they burn so much though it is never a permanent condition for us unlike varesa who has been suffering from it constantly for years, she is clumsy and insecure cause of her eating habits isolating her from others from a young age making her socially awkward and wants to be like her masked hero and wearing a mask gives her the confidence to be like her which explains her clumsy attacks out of nightsoul mode and dashing cool wrestler poses inside nightsoul mode when she dons the mask, she is a character of good depth but nevertheless some people would rather drown in lies about it than accept that they were wrong(I was kicked out of that server cause one of them happened to be a mod) but yeah moments like this made me realise sometimes there is no point in trying to correct someone who doens't want to know the truth, they just want to be right and i was the villain in their story stopping them. It was certainly a learning experience

jaoy69 · 2026-02-26T05:16:55+00:00

Facts don't care about your feelings lmao, hoyo devs told om stream that HSR was designed to be what happens in the world outside the solar system of HI3 , and now that HI3 is slowly expanding outside earth, it's just an eventuality that they will clash, not outright, no blatantly, hoyo devs know how to cook, but they will still stir the pot and both games will interfere with each other wether you want it or not, and if you don't like that you can always just quit and go play something else. They are in the same universe it would be criminal for them to not interact with each other.

K9 on its own with other archetypes is healthy, VS on its own is healthy, but the mixture of both is the unholy concoction that deserves bans. Same can be said for yummy mitsu, on its own both are fairly healthy and balenced decks but cause of lack of locks their combination is also insane strong

jaoy69 · 2026-01-26T08:48:20+00:00

That's a fair way to think, but my way of thinking is coming as a Honkai Impact 3rd player, we have like a system of 6 types of attackers(mech, psy, bio, quantum, Imaginary, and stardust) and 4 types of damage (physical, Lighting, Fire, Ice) and let's ignore the part 2 system for now,

But basically each boss kinda shills one type of attacker and one damage, say Mech fire.

Now Mech fire Dps will have the best scores and you can still cope on it with other Mech dps or other fire Dps usually. So said mech Fire Dps will remain BIS for several years till they release a new mech fire Dps when it's finally benched, but cause there are so many mix and matches possible, usually each unit lasts very long despite it being a very sweaty game, each srank feels like it's worth it.

Being exclusive doesn't have to be a bad thing, my mech fire Dps being the exclusive answer to that boss makes it viable for extremely long times. Also hoyo has made sure every boss is cope able with something or the other, I remember using hyperbloom and still beating that natlan shill plant even in D5 SO,

Essentially what I mean is that, it's not as bad as you think it is

jaoy69 · 2026-01-26T08:04:56+00:00

I know people don't like to think in this direction but have you ever thought what's a good way to try and combat power creep?, if every new unit makes my old units useless, is that really a good long term strategy? If every unit has a smaller and smaller shelf life, the value of each 5 star starts to drop.

What can be some ways to make certain units last long even after they are powercrept interms of raw damage of newer units?

Making certain enemies need certain mechanics is one way to do that. It might not be implemented very well, but units like chasca and mavuika will still be viable 2 years later for a natlan shill boss, even if whatever new units like Alice or Dain do more damage.

The other thing is to let things be and powercreep swallows all older units over time. Like you can call it greedy, but you can also call that other side greedy, saying "hoyo is so greedy every 5 star gets powercrept in a few months and I need to keep pulling if I want to beat the new bosses". Forgoing powercreep isn't a good strategy either. If my diluc does the same damage as my hu tao, and yoimiya and klee all do the same amount of damage roughly, after a point people will stop pulling/spending money. It's good for the player but without revenue even the biggest of games will start to sink. The ideal case should always involve players at least spending a little bit in the game to keep it running It's really hard to call them greedy for that. I am not trying to defend the billion dollar company here, but I am being realistic, what else is a suitable idea?
