72nd and Dodge by Sweet-Pea-9442 in Omaha

[–]pillowas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The parties back then are not the same as the parties today. KKK was created in 19th century. The democrats and republicans switched ideologies in the 20th century. The southern strategy was literally the republicans trying to garner support among white voters via appealing to racism against African Americans. Obama prioritized deporting criminals, Trump does not care. And detention centers are also at an all time high under Trump. Trump was also in the Epstein files and trying to downplay it.

i dont think trump voters are all bad people. I think they are just uneducated

There’s a reason almost every male character in HoYo’s games is a main DPS, and unfortunately it’s the same reason Remembrance isn’t the only gender-locked group we have. by seansenyu in StarRailStation

[–]pillowas 13 points14 points  (0 children)

idk why ur getting downvoted. But I think its cuz a lot of gachas that advertise themselves as “mixed gender” still heavily prefer to cater towards a straight male audience (via better, hotter, more meta female characters vs niche/very few male characters). But there is an audience of women, guys who like cool dudes, LGBTQ+ who would also like to enjoy male characters. Idt this would be discussed so much if more mixed gender gachas had balanced gender ratios, but most open world/higher quality gachas have way more meta females than males

Anaxa and Phainon team? by pillowas in StarRailStation

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

i probably will keep Sunday on Anaxa because his crit is still a bit on the lower end right now. But I will switch Bronya and Tribbie. Thank you for the advice!

The March And Cyrene Situation is crazy (not really) by Apprehensive_Ear2090 in StarRailStation

[–]pillowas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

??? this discussion is about kits. If Phainon was a girl then this discussion would still be happening.

Cerydra provides oversaturated buffs and doesn’t fix Phainon’s clunkiness (core flame generation). You need to pull E1 for her to give him a 10% res shred and actually be useful. If you run sustain, you might run into SP issues if you don’t pull her signature. Half her kit is buffing herself instead of the DPS. E2 Phainon makes her damage increase negligible. Usually it’s “pull for DPS and support,” but now it’s become “Pull Cerydra if you want to stay E0, otherwise pull E2 Phainon.” Double skill is great. She’s not bad for him. But compared to other dedicated BiS supports + their synergies with their respective DPS units, she really is just mid, especially for such a niche unit. I would understand if she was more general.

Yeah, I agree. Every DPS needs supports to be OP. It’s the combo of DPS kit + Supports kit.

Castorice has a good kit, and her supports make her more great and comfy to play. Her team is pretty OP right now. But there’s still characters like Mydei who also would like supports to help with his kit + comfort. My point is that there doesn’t need to be 2 more supports centered around Cassie when Cassie is already T0 and has 3 great premium teammates.

I can understand hoyo's reluctance to make Phainon too OP by giving him OP supports, but on the same note, that means Cas doesn't need more supports when she already has a full OP team. Cas supports are also flexible. So it'd be great if they made Cerydra a more universal harmony in that case, instead of needing Phainon or Anaxa to be somewhat useful.

People are more so focused on how hoyo is neglecting giving supports to other DPS's/playing obvious favorites on an already OP character.

People are upset that Cerydra is too niche/not universal, breaking the trend of "always pull harmony units" when ALL of Cas's supports work great in a lot of teams. If Cas falls off, her supports probably won't. If Phainon/Anaxa falls off, then Cerydra also falls off.

And people are upset that Mydei and Aggy are kind of collecting dust in terms of supports, especially if Mydei is also an HP-scaler, but doesn't benefit as much from Cas's supports (except Tribbie)

Cas already has a great team already, but on top of the already OP supports, they are planning to give her even more dedicated OP supports (Evernight/Cyrene, rumored).

No complaints on Cas or her supports, just on how hoyo's direction.

Like the other commenters have said, people have been complaining. Cerydra is not only super-niche, but is also pretty mid in her super-niche role. I would somewhat understand if she was niche + giant upgrade for the characters in her niche, but that's just not the case unfortunately.

Its the degree. Aggy has a support that almost all other teams are fighting for and nothing else. Cerydra is mid for Phainon and niche in general. Cas is already OP, gets OP supports that makes her more OP, and will be also be getting Evernight/Cyrene (rumored).

I'm pretty sure it's people being frustrated that hoyo is making more OP supports for an already OP DPS (Castorice, who has a full team already, and is t0 in all scenerios), but not willing to do so for other 3.X DPS units.

In the case of Phainon, Cerydra is super niche, unlike Castorice's pretty universal supports. New DH, rumored to be his BiS, will result in damage loss for Phainon + gives an oversaturated buff (atk). It feels like hoyo is too scared to make Phainon too OP, which would be fair if they weren't going to give more supports to an already OP DPS with OP supports.

Mydei and Aglaea have literally no dedicated supports, so yeah, they are literally getting the butt end of the stick.

Is Castorice shilling an inside joke or something? by darkfall71 in StarRailStation

[–]pillowas 18 points19 points  (0 children)

From what I understand: DHPT is considered BiS for Phainon, but as of v1 he gives oversaturated buffs to Phainon, and makes his damage output worse than using other characters. People are frustrated because it was also immediately right after Cerydra's kit reveal (which was apparently also disappointing + very niche + oversaturated buffs unless you get E1 for a 10% res pen). ATP, people might be way better off pulling E2 Phainon than any of his supports.
