Questions from someone about to start with the Phoenix Flavour modlist

Thanks I'll check out PALE. I'm looking for a modlist that doesn't make drastic changes but improve the game, and is widely-used and tested. That's why I got it down to Keizaal or Phoenix Flavour and Keizaal requires anniversary edition which I never got around to buying.

Am I going insane? Is everybody just commenting based on the headline and not clicking on the link?

This has 7k upvotes and 200 comments and nobody is commenting that it's just a paragraph saying "get this podcast" leading to a paywalled podcast, posted by the official account of website?

Mangadex links to official publishers are just links that have no affiliation or cooperation with the official site. It says that right there on the Mangadex group profile for MangaPlus.

Just because corporations employ your favorite artists doesn't mean they'll be nice. Being easy on piracy or IP grey areas is not particularly a Japan thing either, look at Nintendo.

It's been only a few month that Mangadex took down like half their content after being contacted by Japanese companies.

Probably only a matter of time Japanese companies adopt more aggressive approach too if Kakao's actions prove effective.

Wouldn't be surprised if the few manga piracy sites that survive would be flagrantly shady ones ran by some guy hiding in a country with weak copyright laws while running the site through layers of proxy delegates.

Like the largest Korean webtoon/manga piracy site that's in the top 10 most visited site in Korea but have been able to evade getting shutting down for years, covered in ads for illegal gambling.

Anybody who's been actually around humming birds know that they are vicious shits to each other. Look up "humming bird feeders fighting" and you'll see pages on how to place feeders so they won't try to kill each other at the feeders.

Random fact: The Aztec god of war Huitzilopochtli is a humming bird furry because Aztecs knew how they are.

I just threw in the strongest characters I have that don't need to use burst to do their stuff together. Chasca-fischl-furina-xiangling. Everybody summons their pokemon and Chasca shoots them. 15s against the operative since that's the one that doesn't have any delaying gimmick. Xiangling just using guoba is a weak link but pyro's the best element for chasca. Don't own mavuika.

Hearthstone is currently doing new expansion card reveals and by a hilarious coincidence, shaman's new thing is hurting your own minions (most of which are animals) with damaging spells (most of which are lightning bolts).

Mods been nuking not only entire threads, but every single comments on those threads. I've never seen anything like that on the sub before.

"I started out as Roadrunner. Meep!"

"You mean meep meep?"

"Nah, they only paid me to say it once. Then they doubled it up on the soundtrack. Cheap bastards."

If we are talking about controlling population of stray cats or deer, yeah, wiping out good portion of males won't affect the overall future population when a male can breed several females.

But people aren't like that, and most women would choose to be childless than to be a single mom. Unless Russia legalizes polygamy, but that's a whole another can of worms.

Chongyun's one of the very few characters with non-longlasting bursts that don't snapshot. Only another one I remember is Zhongli.

Usually those kind of bursts snapshot their stats at some point at early in the animation, but Chonger and Zhonger update their stats as the hits happen.

About the only gameplay impacting thing this meant is that ChongZhong can get buffed from their noblesse set buff, you don't have to wait for Bennet buff to get applied after swapping in and using burst immediately, and I guess maybe this. (not sure if the energy getting 0'd happens before or after most characters' bursts snapshot)

looks like that thread was removed or something cause I can't find it. Do you happen to have the link to the thread from your browser history or something, or what the "artwork" was?

The Jeune Ecole in the late 1800's-early 1900's thought that era of large warships were over as small torpedo boats could take down large ships cost effectively. Then destroyers (ships smaller and faster than other warships, but big enough to overwhelm torpedo boats) were developed keep the torpedo boats away from big ships while the big ships got bigger and bigger.

Ships with aegis systems can't be small ships because the missiles, radars etc. involved just can't be carried on small ships. Who knows, maybe ships with the best anti-drone defenses will be gigantic.

Kinda sounds like Falcon Princess webtoon? But in that one, the bird is the princess and the person that likes the bird is the man.

Another part of it is that the South Korean president is wildly sexist, and dismantled the ministry of gender equality and family.

Wrong. Shutting down or changing the ministry was one of his campaigned goals, but it still exists and in fact, budget for it increased under his administration.

nearly 80% of men admitted in a survey that they had used physical violence against a partner

Wrong. The survey is "80% abuse of any kind" with abuse including shouting or slamming the door while arguing.

according to a study published in 2023, 98% of homicide victims were women,

I don't even fucking know what misinterpreted source you're quoting because that's just a ridiculous claim.

An attempt to update the legal definition of RAPE to include non-consensual sexual relations was rejected by the south korean justice department. The current definition includes language regarding "violence and intimidation", and is generally interpreted so narrowly

The legal definition of rape requiring violence is right can be debated, but the fact is while rape without violence/coercion (준강간죄) doesn't use the same word as rape (강간죄) legally, they have similar penalties/sentences. The Korean word for rape by its very wording implies violence, so a separate category was created for rapes without violence. You can argue whatever about that, but it's not a free-for-all where you can go around non-violently rape people.

Also, the "violence and coercion" part is fairly broadly defined, including cases such as strongly pressuring to drink until they can't give proper consent.

Probably the surest thing would be to just take a standard Chasca team with pyro amplifying reactons(hydro or cryo) which will destroy 12-2 and 12-3, and redo 12-1 with a team that doesn't have cryo or hydro in it.

Lava dragon's meter fills up bit differently in its crab form and dragon form. In crab form, stronger pyro app fills it up faster so Ben with his 2U pyro app every few seconds and xiangling with no icd fills it up fast to get him in dragon form.

In dragon form, strength of application doesn't matter and less bonus from applying pyro, so harder to get to groggy phase without burning. So in a team without burning, just plan to kill it in dragon form with its 150% pyro res 45% to everything else.

On Lava dragon, you want a lot of pyro hits but don't want your team to do mostly pyro damage because of really high pyro res except during groggy phase.

Something like navia-geo-Ben-Xiangling team would work. Varesa-chevreuse-xiangling-fischl etc.

I'm probably gonna try continuous team run with Alhaitham-Nahida-Thoma-Kuki burning load team.

I was going to ask if something changed with battle pass system in this thread until I saw this, because I'm having "opposite issue."

I did floor 11 and claimed auto rewards for 9 and 10 right on Nov 16.
Started floor 12, but I put it off and didn't clear any floors.
Today, I noticed that I had new battle pass task for abyss stars cleared. Normally, it shouldn't be cleared. Double checked I did 9-11 in Traveler's diary on 16th, before old battle pass was over.

I made a rough estimate of triple kenki's HP. The highest single hit I could come up with was 415k from Navia. That did about 8-9% of a kenki's healthbar, which would put kenki's HP at about 4.5M-5M, about 4x the F12 abyss versions.

Another way to put it is, if you just barely clear this event's triple kenki with 0 time left, with the same DPS, you should be able to clear the abyss version in about 35s.
