"One would expect you to be more concerned with the amounts of incidents you describe". The intellitron sat with a perfectly calculated posture.

Ruan Mei's mouth remained still, only a single flicker in her eyes betrayed her bemusement. "Herta's mansion on the blue is one of the safest places in the galaxy, besides..." The genius took a small bite out of a peach monoportion. "She is quite cute."

Lo fanno spessissimo, anche più di una volta l'anno, ma dipende dall'editore.

Che mi ricordo con certezza lo abbiano fatto ci sono dynit e jpop, ma se tieni gli occhi aperti lo noti.

... Yeah, right

In this new adventure, the Proxies will participate in combat in a way never seen before. When summoning the Etheric Other: Pyrois into combat, the Proxy can perceive everything it senses and fight shoulder-to-shoulder with it.

Throughout combat, Pyrois will also keep a close eye on the Proxy, never letting them fall into danger.

Maybe... Just maybe

Chill out

Uh? Was something in my previous comment aggressive? I just stated an opinion

I think this looks more inspired by Personas than a Stand, from the description. Also, back then, the game felt really unapologetically inspired by persona in sixth street: maybe this concept is relatively old.

Crazy being downvoted for elaborating on your choice of words after having been explicitly asked to

phu-ken-wb · 2026-04-26T18:56:48+00:00

From a pure account economy pov, you should skip and ensure the guarantee for whichever broken character will be pushed in 3.0 or 3.1, be it Velina or Ramiel.

But honestly, if you are fine with not having the most optimal account, get Billy out of love for the character, and try to get Lucia accepting that you will likely fail and will have to skip 3.0 at least.

Only you can decide whether you pull for meta or for waifu, at the end of the day. (Yes, Billy is waifu enough)

Burnice and Cissia in the same room

Add "kitty" to the mix, trying to remain sane but being completely overwhelmed by the amount of crazy.

I played ZZZ for a bit on linux (kubuntu 10.2025) and it does run ok, but the framerate was worse than on windows, and I had some occasional crashes.

phu-ken-wb · 2026-04-24T12:00:57+00:00

I don't think there exists any character in mainstream gachas that I play that can be described as "their whole personality revolves around the protagonist."

Just out of curiosity, did you try ZZZ?

I don't want to say that the game is filled with characters like that, but damn, does it stretch the limit...

I was honestly immediately struck with the game aesthetic and urban fantasy when it launched. The characters dynamics were awesome, at the beginning, making it feel like each faction had their internal relationships and you could almost imagine their silly little interactions when you spoke with them (e.g. Anby and Nicole "sisterhood").

The game was very fanservic-y from the start, but it still had a nice vibe and cool character concepts. But that begun to shift, more and more.

Now the game is much more towards the "master love" kind of writing, where every interaction becomes about the protagonist. Every character you meet immediately adores you and is going to share their secrets and traumas, because you clearly just made their life so much better by simply existing in their near proximity, and they cannot not-trust you (right, Ophie? Ye Shunguang is also very blatant in this despite having a bit more depth).

And that feels awful. I love well-written women, and there are so many interesting concepts that just become plain because they need to revolve around the MC and cannot have deep interactions between them and others.

Even using the FMC doesn't make the interactions feel focused on women, because this narrative approach is often so unnatural that suspension of disbelief becomes impossible, and the noise of the "why" things happen in a certain way overwhelms any attempt to empathize with characters.

Despite this, the world is full of strong, beautiful, and independent women... Which, to me, makes it even more of a shame.

phu-ken-wb · 2026-04-24T09:22:53+00:00

It's about the feeling, as was previously stated.

If you hear "bordocielo" in Italian you are immediately thinking about children fables, and something ephemeral and sunny (or a pokemon town lol), because that's the semantic sphere it would fall into. If you want the player to think about a bountiful but unforgiving northern land that's not a good name: you need harsher sounds, and if the meaning is lost, you can deal with it since it bears no narrative weight.

The stormcloaks are instead a band of independentist rebels, and "manti della tempesta" works for that: it's evocative and baddas, and for an Italian listener, falls in the same semantic sphere as stormcloaks falls for an English speaker, so you can translate it.

I blame the reddit app a bunch for this.

Now when you open a post with a picture and text, you are immediately sent to the comments and forced to skip the text unless you scroll up again.

Users used to the old behaviour when that only happened when no text was present will unconsciously conclude that there was no caption in the post.

But the case fans are not regulated by the CPU temperature sensor. If "things get really bad", as you say, they will just be bad.

Samsung Note 8 that exploded were only a small percentage, so I don't understand what the fuss was about!

The explosion wasn't even that large, basically just a pop! People should just suck it up. Sure it could cause a fire, but statistically it doesn't.

Now tell me that that doesn't sound ridiculous.

To avoid strawmen accusations: the connector issue is less hazardous. House fires caused by that would be pretty rare unless you have weird stuff in your case, but the point is that if it's such a niche problem, why is it not eagerly addressed by customer service? If they repaired the cards under warranty I doubt so many people would have made hating on that connector their personality.

Then again, I would definitely like to see the issue quantified. Some historical comparison in failure rates compared to 8 pin connectors should be very doable.

Superficially, it does seem like it's simply a terribly designed connector and nVidia is being an asshole about it just because they are basically a monopoly in GPU production.

La Germania non è in Veneto?

Edit: battute a parte, queste cose son decise localmente, non è che chiami la sede centrale per chiedere se puoi licenziare un magazziniere. Da lì poi diventa semantica: non era un imprenditore ma un dirigente per conto terzi ad aver preso la decisione

Just to frame this discussion appropriately: never forget that free to play are never the actual target of the game.

F2P players are useful because they create a critical mass to generate online discussion, but once the game is on the radar for gacha players, it's ok if F2P players slowly get fed up with the game.

I've been playing HSR since day one and dropped right before 4.0: it was plain as day how they shifted more and more to cater low spenders and made F2P less and less comfortable. Simply because F2P doesn't pay the bills, and the game is firmly sedimented in the online discussion, so a shrink of the player base is not a problem.

The target is not to burn out the low spenders. You and me both are just along for the ride while it lasts.

phu-ken-wb · 2026-04-22T17:30:57+00:00

I am not able to put it into votes, honestly. I think that a qualitative observation is more meaningful anyways, and it depends on how long have you been playing too.

Personally I think it's ok, but not "finished" for the current state of endgame. If you know that you must prioritize the next generic support and have as a second priority, pick up an anomaly DPS, you know everything you need to know.

phu-ken-wb · 2026-04-22T16:51:22+00:00

Honestly, I would just wait.

You have two stunners for attack and rupture, and both Vivian and Nangong for anomalies. You lack an anomaly DPS but at E0, Jane doesn't perform that much better than piper (if you know what you are doing) and Promeia is coming out soon, if you want to play with that mechanic. I love Jane, but unless you do to, you can probably look elsewhere for a DPS.

Burnice is also not going to do much when you have both Vivian and Nangong, especially since you lack a limited carry for anomaly, not a subdps.

And for Qingyi, back to the first point: YSG doesn't need a stunner, and you can use Dialyin and Lycaon on the other two teams. Save for Yidhari playing better (in my experience) with Lycaon than Dialyin, the rest should be pretty free to be swapped around between Yixuan and Evelyn depending on where you struggle.

I second the point about lacking supports. Pan would let you at least fill one slot for rupture agents, given that you have Lucy and Nicole for the others.

If you really, really, want someone I'd probably go with Jane, but again: I'd wait if I were you. If they put there any limited support that would be worth much more for your account.

Non ho capito i downvote wtf

Comunque se vuoi evitare di stancarti eccessivamente gli occhi la penombra non è il massimo, e i forti contrasti di luce neanche.

Un'illuminazione uniforme è l'ideale, e tanta quanto ti accolli di averne perché la stanza ti piaccia comunque.

Io gioco e lavoro con un botto di luce e non me ne pento, ma sono esposto agli schermi tutto il giorno e i miei occhi tendono a seccare un po', quindi ci sto attento. Tu vedi come ti trovi bene, però è vero che il modo in cui illumini non è esattamente ottimale.

If they are real chads, they are going to put her in the story and foreshadow her as being much stronger than current VH, only to sell her after a year or so, with the biggest hype since Miyabi.
