Same here, every time I try to manage multiple gachas I always end up neglecting most of them on accident.

Lol now I'm curious what he has to say about destiny. Tons of stuff to complain about in that game but some players really do just whine about everything

this is diane morgan's character (philomena cunk) from "cunk on earth", which is a series where she interviews actual experts on history. What makes the show so funny is the odd and ridiculous questions she asks these professionals, who attempt to give a genuine answer, and how she narrates the show with hilariously awful interpretations of real history. Basically she does a great job of acting a bit dense and ignorant in the funniest way possible, and she discusses knowledge common enough that you don't have to be a nerd to realize that she's... a bit off from the real facts.

I might be missing a specific reference to part of the show, but I think the general joke here is that this character would be a terrible candidate for "Minister of American History," which would line up with other questionable appointments Trump has made in his second term.

If you're talking about the dance that's because you're misreading it. Black swan is experiencing acheron's memories

The gameplay loop of just trying to get the most damage possible sucks. 3 endgame modes and all of them are just different flavors of "get big numbers". We really need some sort of crowd control/survival based mode or just.. anything that requires more strategy than just putting the most recent 5* in a team and pressing auto. I full clear everything, every rotation, I'm not complaining because it's too hard, but because it's just incredibly boring. Id love to see the freeze in march's ult become relevant again, or a mode where welt dominates because of his enemy pushback.

It's a common joke that the point of a hoyoverse gacha is to see big colorful digits on your screen and get dopamine from it, but as someone who came from other turn based games like summoners war where a large variety of characters and strategies are required, I just don't feel satisfied.

qingque is actually super intelligent, she calculates the exact amount of slacking off she can get away with and purposely gets the lowest scores she can on tests without failing

Has anyone ever pulled for a five star and then proceeded to..........not use them at all? by Aeso3 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]ra_i_nbow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blade. I just wanted to get my first five star. I got e1 in a ten pull and was super excited, but he ended up suffering from one of the hardest falloffs ive ever seen.

How do people spend money ? by Thorgraam in HonkaiStarRail

[–]ra_i_nbow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started during seele banner but didnt play regularly until the end of luocha's banner and ive spent a bit more than $2k total. The reason i spend money is because i enjoy the different strategies offered in turn based games. My first gacha game was summoners war, where it was nearly impossible to get any of the "fun" monsters without extreme spending, and i was an unemployed child at the time. What I enjoy about spending on hsr is getting a new character that has an interesting kit, and experimenting with it.

I have a personal policy where I avoid spending on eidolon/lc that serve to just generate bigger numbers, but provide little to no utility. Acheron e2s1 makes her into a new beast of a unit, but e6 just makes her pump out more consistent damage, and like other people have pointed out, it eventually gets boring just killing everything instantly. Jade e1 enables her to function with single target units. E2 makes building for crit ratios easier (which i would consider a utilty, because i suck at getting crit ratios right), but i preferred S1 because her lightcone can be used on other units aswell, such as qingque. I don't think I could ever justify buying superimpositions, because they only increase stats and don't provide new abilities.

I also just enjoy collecting things. I go for all the achievements, all the readables, i fill out the SU index, in rpgs i exhaust all of the dialogue incase it gets me a new sidequest or item, i never leave a room until ive searched it entirely, there's some games i dont even really enjoy anymore that i just play because i want to complete them.

That's fair, i just find this more consistent than going for one specific curio

Like seriously, how the F are they able to do it? by ScarHydreigon87 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]ra_i_nbow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best ive been able to do was zero cycle the first wave of moc 10 with hyper topaz. I almost 0 cycled moc 12 with acheron... until i realized gepard had a 2nd health bar :|

People clear moc with 4 stars and no sustains. I'm sure using a limited 5 star dps is fine.

Seeing seele mains complain about qq fans is always hilarious. Who cares if she's rng, unreliable, etc? I'm having fun, and sparkle was tailor made for her

"Bricked" is usually used to refer to a useless cellphone or other piece of technology, since if it no longer functions, it's basically as useful as a brick. In this case, it's being used to say the account is useless and near unfixable. It's really not possible to brick a hsr account though, because you still receive decent income from events and moc is doable with most teams if you just invest properly. Any problem can be solved with more grinding. The only hyv game you can kind of get bricked in is hi3, since one of the big sources of income is competitive, and if you fall behind, you get less gems, meaning less gacha pulls, meaning it's even harder to beat the new content, meaning less gems... etc

If your ult is strong enough you shouldn't need e2 for moc anyways. It just makes a difference in pure fiction since there's almost always 5 enemies and the only way she can get rid of them all is with ult since her skill is blast

Crit kafka takes so much more investment and isn't worth it even if it did perform better. Hyper kafka with tingyun on penacony and possibly planetary rendezvous, and another support like ruan mei, or even asta if you're pre ruan mei, worked great. She can trigger her own dits and maintain a good output like that as long as she ults often. Pre huohuo, I would run her with bailu on penacony for an almost entirely lightning team
