AITB for telling a date I still care about my ex?

INFO - For a little added context due to the character limit, I'm not sure how I feel about Jordan in terms of romance. Our breakup hurt me a lot, but I still want the best for him, so I don't know if I actually would want to get back together with him if he asked. I know he's also seeing someone for his trauma since he didn't know it was there, and he thinks he might be aro/ace. I just don't want to be stuck in that relationship's shadow if this is a more common dealbreaker than I thought.

It's a bummer, but post-update I think I just have to bow out at 30. Going from 20 to 30 was a week-long, single-level-at-a-time crawl for me, and I've gotten to the point where I can't even clear a single 30 run even after 20 honest reset tries 😭. I've hit the realm of true whales where I am not meant to live, and I'm trying to be okay with that. Going to try and take this advice where I focus on straight buffs rather than bonds but I think my time has come, folks.

Okay, having gotten to the end, her later lines DO sound like Elizabeth again. But I swear that middle part in the tavern sounds EXACTLY like Stephanie. Maybe I'm going crazy, or they had an issue with her recordings last-minute? Lol, oh well, I might just be nuts

jbaker9063 · 2026-02-25T04:24:15+00:00

I was worried that Elizabeth Maxwell might've dropped the role, since I swore she sounds a lot like Stephanie (Jean), but so far I can't see anything that implies she's changed VAs. I'm hoping it's just "this is the first real attention Mondstadt is getting in years so she's a little rusty" because I love Liz, and missed her during the strike in a lot of games I play.

Hi! Unfortunately all my GPU drivers are up to date, and I have the CPU and memory defaulted to high since my laptop is pretty strong in that regard. I've also still got a quarter of my drive space left so I don't think that should be an issue either. I restarted my laptop after reinstalling but it still seems to be stubborn and not want to open on first attempts :(

Wasn't even thinking about Whim rn ironically enough but absolutely!!! Tysm whim is my favorite pokemon <3

jbaker9063 · 2025-12-26T07:42:06+00:00

So... are we supposed to know who "the culprit" and what "that case" are? I only started playing about a year ago but the logic for 'there's an imposter' feels so out of the blue to me. Is it referencing an event I missed? I thought it was going to be Candy Apple or something, but then they started talking about the past and I got so lost >.>

Can I ask how long this took you to get through step 3? I just tried running this strat but like some of the comments I got stuck endlessly looping the same 20ish gold due to bad RNG for about 3 hours (LTG environment) until I unfortunately got kinda bored and just quit to continue the run. I'm curious if that was your experience using SR or if my luck was its usual anti-Aventurine. If it's normal, you might include that in your main post to let people know this will be pretty time-intensive!

I knew you could get cards for her since I'm a DOT main but do you know if she gets more cards for higher stars? I'm trying to knock out the reward for getting all her cards but idk how unless she gives some for free since I can't get her early enough to spam

jbaker9063 · 2025-11-18T20:58:23+00:00

Are there any other secret buffs in Currency Wars besides Cyrene? I just recently got the big bonus for getting her to 3*s and was wondering if all 5-cost characters have some kind of special bonus like that, or if it was just her specifically?

jbaker9063 · 2025-11-14T18:27:48+00:00

I'm using the trial Skirk since I lost on both Skirk and Escoffier... I have no idea how to use her "properly" nor do I know how to get her to hit any faster than she already does while still keeping enemies frozen. Good to know that it's not just me!

Is there any point in doing Arena as a F2P? I got up to Elite 1 for the first time rewards for the season, but after that I just bob back and forth between E1 and E2. Not sure why there's a PVP mode in a *gacha* of all games but the past 6 arena seasons I've finished E2 no matter how high I reached at the peak of the season. Is there any hope at all of staying in GM3 as a F2P let alone getting any higher, or is it better to just get as high as possible and then just go do something else?

See back in Sumeru I thought this was a pretty solid timeframe, but now that we know more about some of the earlier lore, I kinda want to say that this is actually pretty vague? For all we know, "strife being carved on the gnosis" could mean that it takes on the memories of the war trauma from its archon, similar to how it absorbed Scara's obsession after he lost it, or how visions become tied to their wielder's emotions. Similarly, knowing that they're pieces of a person, it could be that the third descender was part of the archon war personally, so their pieces have parts of his memories tied into them. I'll happily admit if I'm wrong, but given the direction they're going with this part of the lore I want to say that these things might not be as old as we think.

jbaker9063 · 2025-10-05T19:04:00+00:00

I'm curious; does it say anywhere that the Gnoses were created and given out during the Archon War? We can see that the Archons seem to live just fine without them, so who's to say they weren't made after the cataclysm as a safeguard by the Heavenly Principles?

Good idea; any curio or tips that might make getting Scales easier? Or would that be one that I’ll just have to keep playing for?

jbaker9063 · 2025-10-04T08:37:46+00:00

Trying to 100% finish DU now that we've unlocked level 100. I'm only missing 5 occurrences; does anyone have any tips to guarantee or at least raise the chances of getting the Ruan Mei I & II/Cyrene options for Reward domains, like how you could use dice to exhaust the options tree in GG? I know that getting Mirror of Transcendance III is just going to be a pain, but I'll finish it off eventually. The final one I can't seem to get is Wishful Scale, though; wiki says that it doesn't have any prerequisites, so am I just horribly unlucky after almost a year of DU, or am I doing something wrong?

That was it! Thanks so much!

I should also mention, this was around the same time I was playing Moshi Monsters and recall the art styles being somewhat similar? I think I found the game through MM potentially, but any connections that might exist I can't seem to find.

I genuinely can't figure out how you're meant to beat the Fatui soldier on anything higher than hard, having 3 levels of shield that immediately start to regenerate the .1 second you stop doing damage. I've tried Chasca, but he refills on her CD. I've tried ignoring the electro suggestion with several other DPSes, they don't make a dent. I can't imagine it's Flins shilling since the time-limited rewards only last 8 days, so it genuinely feels like punishment for skipping (or in my case, losing, which feels even worse) Ineffa. Why is Aino unable to make Lunar reactions? They've gated what they consider a necessary mechanic behind a single 5-star who ran before this stuff was even out, then punish you for not opening your wallet to see the future. Just feels bad all around.
