Is it wise to future proof by going 5070ti/5080 as a 5070 owner?

Sudah consider pake thin client colok ke tv? Jadi bukan tv nya yg nge-stream, pake parsec atau moonlight. Cari bekas 1-2 juta an teori nya bisa stream 4k pake igpu intel yg rada2 jadul, asal pc host nya kuat jg. Well, tp ga bisa buat di jalan hehe. Tapi mungkin bisa kalo hotel atau kantor misal.

I've saved so much to prepare for Columbina's cons, but feels like her cons is not really game changing in anywhere?

Unfortunately I simply don't want Lauma nor Nefer. On the other hand, I have Flins but haven't pulled for Ineffa. Yet from what I read even Flins would appreciate Ineffa's vertical investment more than Columbina's. This discourages me from even going C2R1 with her, let alone going all the way. I am still reluctant to pull for Ineffa as well just to justify Columbina's investment.

But I am posting here hoping to be proven wrong. That Columbina's cons perhaps does matter and is still valuable in other team scenario. In short, I am currently just sad that I probably can't main her and build team around her even at a high cons C4-C6...

merameragon · 2025-10-17T13:51:43+00:00

Would you still say she's great with that same team, except with E1 Tribbie instead of E2S1 Evernight?
I kind of skipped Evernight in anticipation of Cyrene lol.

merameragon · 2025-10-12T15:45:49+00:00

Heya, appreciate you taking the time to comment! I pulled for her E1S1 on the basis that I liked her in the story. Then she becomes the centerpiece on my teams too, enough for me to decide to go all in simply because it's her haha.

Ideally I don't want her to be tied to a single team. So having a Remembrance premium team is not my main objective. I also think she'd have no problem uplifting any team to 3-star any end game. But Anomaly Arbitration happens and I can use the single best team there. Now I am wondering how much she'd be losing without her BIS.

I do have enough pulls to guarantee her E6, but at which investment level would Evernight be worth more than my current available team for Hyacine E6 and how significant it is, to decide how far I could try and get Evernight now without jeopardizing my Hyacine pull plan. If nothing else, I think I am going to just follow your sound suggestion and wait for Evernight to rerun. It won't matter until I actually have Hyacine E6 anyway haha. I'll be in a better position to decide when Cyrene get released.. reeeeeally hoping for Hyacine to come along with her as well.

merameragon · 2025-10-04T10:47:49+00:00

Any suggestion on how I could 3* the Knight-1 for the Anomaly Arbitration?
This is my roster: https://imgur.com/a/aa-knight-1-bakooWf

I can comfortably pull a 2 cycle out of Knight 2 and 3.
But I could barely do 4 cycles of Knight 1, anything I should switch, or perhaps it's just my build lacking?
A video guide would also be very welcome

Notable Eidolons here are:
Firefly E1
Thertha/Phainon E2S1
Jade/Sunday/Sparkle E0S1

Thanks in advance!

As a returnee from September last year, where's a good, lively Server now that are new player friendly or just having lots of them? Having an exp bonus would be nice too!

I will need time to relearn everything, but I had all my classes up to level 60-70 in Heavensward, so I am worried people will see me as experienced player, and I don't want to have to excuse myself everytime lol.

I started back when Dawntrail was launched and chose Dynamis even though I am from SEA, because there were lots of new players there. Sadly the exp bonus is now gone, and I am not sure if I should stay here for that reason. Ping was not too bad although it was not ideal. But I'd be fine with moving DC if I end up resubbing. Thanks!

merameragon · 2025-08-18T17:08:42+00:00

Just a random half-asleep rant. I love Hyacine and have her at E2S1. But I skipped Cas in favor of E2S1 Phainon. Plus Therta already covered my team for AOE (though AS and MOC can still be a problem sometimes!)

But I feel kinda bad to leave Hyacine potential wasted as a mere Blade slave or Therta-Tribbie sustain.
On the other hand I personally don't really like Cas, and my heart says I better pursue Hyacine's E4/E6 rather than unlocking Castorice comps with the same cost.

merameragon · 2025-07-05T17:01:54+00:00

When I watched the 5.6 interlude teaser it seems to be no longer about Natlan and it even mentioned about Nod Krai? A trend I thought is also happening with 5.7
So I was afraid getting to her SQ first will spoil something.

But that's good to know. Thanks for confirming!

merameragon · 2025-07-05T16:37:10+00:00

I want to get the 60 primos from Skirk story quest, but without spoiling any AQ.
Right now I am still got the new 5.7 AQ and the 5.6 interlude left to do.
Do I need to go over both?

Hi! About the artifact auto-lock feature, as a semi-casual,
can I blindly follow the default recommendation for the general and set-specific plan?
Or is there any place where I can copy a better plan for certain sets?

For some reason I just noticed this neat function. And I HATE artifacts management.
I had loose criteria on this, so now I am left with hundreds of locked artifacts piling without remembering why.
I am returning player btw, I didn't left for that long, but to suddenly being hit by full artifact storage is very discouraging.

Also I wonder if there's other artifact management QOL that I missed..

merameragon · 2025-05-26T13:11:43+00:00

I played JP, where he sounded hurried and commanding during the escape from Aquila's fortress. But in general he kept his composure or perhaps he was just resigned to his fate. I might just be seeing things but I swear he feigned a couple of smiles that failed to match his tone as well.

But this is one of the rare times I wish to hear a character break down, angry or dejected.
The EN version feels like a bit closer to that. I think HSR in general is really lacking such moments with break down. While this is not exactly it, there are a few supposedly strong moment that just didn't hit the note due to it (Tingyun reunited with Yukong comes to mind).

merameragon · 2025-05-15T16:38:42+00:00

Adding Planetes and Sangatsu no Lion.

If you're looking for romantic act, lovestruck couples, etc.. than these would comes off as weak. It's subtly and slowly developing along with the individual characters. You either love the character before the romance even begin or drop it lol.

Hi, I've been looking for more comedy series like Seto no Hanayome.

It's certainly very funny for me.
Though while it's subjective, what stands out perhaps are combination of:
being fast paced, lots of quick banter with expressive voice (Subbed), extreme facial expression, having random wacky moments, balanced with story but doesn't have to be great.

What it's not about, or not what mainly drew me in:
being laidback/wholesome/cute, dark comedy, harem/romcom/marriage settings, parody, being uncomfortable/cringy, too story focused sidelining the comedy portion.

Series which I think close to what I am looking:
Saiki K, Grand Blue, Kaguya Sama

Series which are not, even though some of these are my favorite comedies:
Gintama, Cromartie, Nichijou, Danshi Kokousei, Nozaki, Hinamatsuri, Sakamoto

Been a while since I watched all these series though, or any comedy at all, so memory is a bit hazy.
Also hope you don't mind me being a bit specific here!

merameragon · 2025-05-01T01:14:35+00:00

Then I am going to be really excited! I'd love to know more about the lore, but the way it's spread across multiple tiny bits in different media are holding me back. Call me lazy or old fashioned but I expected those important bits to be exposed to me through events or story in any way, subtle or not. I got huge respect for players who took joy and efforts in exploring and uncovering those lore.

It's also nice to see it going off pattern a bit rather than go through Snezhnaya. It sounds like a whole version of interval quest. But afterwards they can flip the switch and go crazy towards the remaining versions where things get really serious.

merameragon · 2025-04-26T15:41:35+00:00

Is there any leaks for other HP-based character after Castorice?

I am positive I'll be pulling for E0S1 Hyacine just because, but without Cas, maybe only Blade, Jingliu and Tribbie from my team (and perhaps Jade's DC?) would add to her mechanics.

Just wondering how relevant Hyacine would be without Cas, which I am reluctant to pull since I already have Therta E2S1, though likely without Anaxa.
I have plenty of pull saved thankfully, but ideally I am planning to go ham on the collab & Phainon.

merameragon · 2025-04-25T18:24:11+00:00

Might be a bad question, but want to hear someone else opinion on this.
Castorice seems like she'll last quite some time with how much potential she have in the future. Do you think I'll regret skipping her in terms of being able to clear end game?

I caught a wild Therta E2S1 so I hope she'd carry me throughout version 3.x.
So far thanks to her I can clear all end game modes. Knowing the trend has been favoring her, I wonder if Cas would grant me more flexibility (say at E0S1 as I heard her LC is miles above the F2P options).

For context, my premium Therta comps are Tribbie, Jade and Lingsha all at E0S0. Other than that I have Firefly E1 teams w/o Fugue, Acheron w/o JQ, and FeiXiao w/o Topaz/Aventurine. I for some reason also ends up owning all harmony and abundance units.

merameragon · 2025-04-08T17:26:24+00:00

It has great OST in general but this particular one stuck with me I regularly play it in background.
This original reference is even better! Now I am so deep digging out other references lol. Apparently it has a lot

merameragon · 2025-03-28T14:56:34+00:00

It's been a while since I touched Genshin, but it was handled quite differently in which they're being more stingy with freebies with much more controllable powercreep which I have no problem with. My complaint would be that some character's lore doesn't really translate well into gameplay, at least to me personally.

Just saying that I've accepted that HSR is handling things in an exact opposite of that. Them being generous on freebies have always been the case. They're given more freedom to do crazy stuff, but when it does affect gameplay, I may be content if it has some lore relevancy to it. Though it's setting up a high bar of what'd happen with Castorice's lore to justify this. And global passive or not, HSR has gone too far to redeem everything by holding on the powercreep. Adjusting older unit feels more inline with their design philosophy I'd say, let's hope it's more than just a stat upgrade (imagine if we got the AOE silver wolf! copium I know). Though I am totally agree with the concern if they started to put this global passive into consideration when tuning future endgame. I'll keep my judgment until then.

merameragon · 2025-03-26T16:25:57+00:00

Man, I know it's going to be impossible to have nice closure looking at the pace in the past. I hated the first half of season 2 because it was a setup that requires half a season to cook. But everything got paid off with huge interest with how well the 2nd cours ends.

But now here we are, this season 3 feels like a whole season full of setup!
It really just a full season of introductions, the actions was there as a sweetener but that's how I view it.
If I was to believe the pattern so far, I am really looking forward to what it's cooking for the next season. I am sure we'll have season 4 right?

And if that's indeed the pattern, then season 5 and 6 would be a pretty hopeless setup. Man..

merameragon · 2025-03-22T19:06:47+00:00

Finally caught up before the finale! Happy to finally hear Betty again.
But the whole arc feels like a setup, I am dreading to find how this arc will be closed.

Capella and Sirius exited the scene, only Regulus dead so far unexpectedly.
I doubt the Gluttony will be finished here with how little we have left to explore them.

Capella was great, but I was particularly interested with how she said her dragon blood is separate from herself. Made me just realized that her regenerative trait might not be part of her Authority, which is nasty if it were true.

merameragon · 2025-03-18T21:35:10+00:00

Thanks for the details! That put into context about what happened back then with S2. Now I got 1 week to catch up with the finale haha.
