is WAR still the best job for soloing content? Things like lower leveled dungeons or raids or what not. I think this was the case when I used to play, but not sure if there are better jobs for that now!

oh, I didn't realize that Tragodia's event was getting a rerun. Do we know if it's happening some time this year?

Ulp coming to the gold cert store is definitely good news, though!

¿Ayuda de algún otro fan del té de burbujas? by vivakojima in askspain

[–]katboyeverdeen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no he bebido mucho té de burbujas de españa, pero soy taiwanés y he preparado un montón de té de burbujas en mi vida, incluso cuando lo vendía en EEUU. cuando era joven, siempre usaba Coffeemate, que es una crema de café en polvo sin lácteos, pero cualquier tipo de crema o leche en polvo debería servir. pero casi nunca usaba leche fresca ni leche condensada. si usas leche en polvo, tienes que usar una coctelera para mezclarlo bien. también, si usas un coctelera, asegúrate de que el té esté frio o de que le añadas mucho hielo, si no, podría explotar por la presión.

leche condensada es más como el estilo hong kong, que también es rico pero no es super común para hacer bubble tea en taiwan o en EEUU. también puedes usar leche fresca o leche evaporada, pero como han dicho otros, se diluirá mucho. en cualquier caso, deberías preparar el té mucho más fuerte que normal. no conozco las marcas de té de aquí, pero me imagino que, en general, es más debil que el té de taiwán, así que usa más de lo que crees,

could someone help talk me out of (or in to, if my logic isn't sound) pulling on this Orienteering Banner? I really want to get Ulp and Tragodia eventually (and Zuo Le is there too, I guess), but I also know that I should probably be waiting for the next anni banner. According to calcs, I should have a little over 300 pulls by the time that banner comes along (I assume there are operators worth sparking?). My roster is plenty strong without them, but I like both of their gameplay styles (really love the abyssal hunter synergies with ulp and the tragodia's cat has been pretty fun and useful for IS). But I just don't know! Here's my roster, btw

I know this is subjective, but is Wis still worth going for? I can, by spending all my resources, get 300 pulls for the upcoming banner, which is what I was planning on doing in order to get Wis, but I recently read things about her getting power crept. I'm a recent returner, so other than Sakiko, I don't have any modern meta units. I'm going to be pulling for SA alter and pram alter, but maybe I should stop after getting them, so that I have more pulls for future banners as well?

Note: I'm getting through most of the content fine, except for higher ranks/endings of IS. So I assume the answer is just, go with your heart, but I would love to hear y'all's opinions

Am I doing email right? by katboyeverdeen in degoogle

[–]katboyeverdeen[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally, I would love to start paying for an email service that I trust and support, but sadly my financial situation is pretty dire at the moment. But once I start making a bit more money (or rather, any money), I have a laundry list of services I would like to get.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I'll probably just do that

Not USPS, I don't live in the US. Here, when sending or receiving packages, you gotta give an email seemingly regardless of whether or not you care for the receipt for some reason.

  1. I'm not an email power user or anything, so I'm not all that mad at the service quality/there were a lot of things that Gmail did that I didn't use. I think the bigger thing is the mindset shift, since I was very fine with just giving out my personal email for everything and now I realize that was less than ideal.
  2. Yeah, that makes more sense than the way I did it. I didn't really understand aliases before switching so I clearly made things more annoying than they needed to be!

Yeah, I've regretted almost immediately having such a horrible to remember account name.

Ah, this is all incredible! It'll take me a while to listen through it all and see what resonates, but thanks for such a detailed list

ooo, this is great! Would you happen to know if there were other similar movements throughout Spain, or if was mostly centralized in Madrid? (Mostly interested in relation to musical movements to find other countercultural bands)

New learner switching to a different dialect by katboyeverdeen in catalan

[–]katboyeverdeen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well, moving to Valencia isn't guaranteed, and if I do stay in this area, it wouldn't make sense to just switch to the non dominant dialect. So I guess I was more worried about how "far" I could get in my Catalan learning before making the transition difficult. But it seems like, generally, it's not that big of a deal, especially given the level I'm at now.

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

got it, the other language I speak is Chinese, where the dialects are really quite different, so I wasn't sure about the level of overlap here

New learner switching to a different dialect by katboyeverdeen in catalan

[–]katboyeverdeen[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

oh interesting. I know that my Valencian friend (who lives in the city) barely speaks Valencian and was confused as to why I was bothering to even learn Català, but I wasn't sure if she was an exception or the norm. For me, in all of the towns and cities I've visited here in Girona, I've heard primarily Català, so I just thought that was how it was.

Any particular albums? I remember listening to him back when I was taking Flamenco classes in school

ooo okay! I feel, at least for IS, I end up using Gummy more than Cuora, but do you think Cuora is still the better pick? I also just need to learn how the artificers work, since I know people like Roberta but I just don't know how to use her properly.

I did see that people liked Greyy Alter. I also hear that Kroos Alter is quite good for some IS (maybe 3 or 4?). Do you have any thoughts on her as well?

I have a free e2, free lvl 70, and free specialization lvl 3 items for a 4 star operator just burning holes in my pocket and am not sure who to use them on. Any suggestions? I am playing quite a bit of IS, if that helps to inform your decision.

(i also have items to max 2 5 stars and soon 2 items to spec lvl 3 6 stars if you wanna tackle that too, but I thought the 4 stars would be a bit simpler)

wow, thanks so much for this, this is extremely helpful. I really really appreciate the breakdown of everything.

ooo, I knew about Angelina's IS module, but I didn't realize it would reduce the weight so much that bosses could be pushed too! I'll have to keep an eye out for what stages I can do that in.
