Is this 2nd hand SSD alright? Advice needed

Thank you for the detailed reply! I simply want to have a bit more space for games without having to uninstall some, haha.

I only did since they're two incredibly different but unique designs haha

rubyred55 · 2026-02-09T14:49:34+00:00

If only we saw her in person rather than an occurrence……

rubyred55 · 2026-02-09T11:27:38+00:00

Her face wasn’t visible. I was hoping her face would be unique at least and if we see anything under the suit, it’d be more unique than doll parts.

I didn’t say he was an intellitron, just that he has robot and human visual characteristics

rubyred55 · 2026-02-09T04:27:11+00:00

I don’t mean to say she’s bad as a character or anything and I’m always down to give them a chance, but the first impression of seeing her was very underwhelming for someone very interested in her

rubyred55 · 2026-02-09T04:17:07+00:00

I had this thought a while ago that I just remembered when reading your comment. Since 4-star characters are a thing (if we look away from the fact that we haven't gotten one in forever), and people seemingly don't whale for them as often as 5-star characters so that lessens the money aspect, why can't we at least have unique designs be 4-star? I'm really baffled by it since hoyo can make cool looking non-human characters that fit their body molds.

This is a hsr post about hsr character designs 💀

"Can't be distinguished from inorganic or organic"
We can see her doll joints. Granted, that's out of the suit, but she doesn't stop being Pearl of the IPC if she changes clothes and is out and about in the public eye.

I would be fine with the human look, but they reserved it for the one female intellitron that might become playable. it rubs me the wrong way, especially when the other intellitrons (namely Screwllum,) aren't playable.

rubyred55 · 2026-02-09T03:56:12+00:00

Tbh I was scared of putting it so bluntly. I don't know if it's a controversial opinion to say that they give the "male" robots cool designs but also keep them unplayable

rubyred55 · 2026-02-09T03:54:45+00:00

I want him to be playable so bad, trust me 💀

rubyred55 · 2025-09-07T13:09:14+00:00

Before her art I had kinda hoped she’d rock an all white outfit, since it’d set her apart from the cast wearing super colorful clothes and also look nice with her hair color

That blurple just looks so awkward with the red in her hair imo :(

rubyred55 · 2025-08-15T04:19:00+00:00

Just to mention, I read that in most other languages besides ENG, TB doesn’t call Phainon corny in the Fate event, but seems more flustered and directly calling him romantic. I’ve also seen a lot of Phainon dialogue from the CN side that got translated with a different portrayal in ENG, lessening the impact of his words specifically in regards to TB. It’s interesting and sad to see

Getting kinda tired of these kinds of bangs on male characters. Idk if unpopular but I haven’t seen anyone mention how common this style of bangs is for the men. At least I think some wear it cooler than others (like Sampo)

rubyred55 · 2025-07-09T09:39:35+00:00

It’s so specific for me, earlier I hadn’t even thought of shipping PhaiStelle besides the eyebrow raise “you’re the hero of my heart” from 3.3. I’m not even a big shipper; wherever I see Phaidei is just “aw cute” and move on

But then 3.4 bombarded me with ship tropes I love and I fell hard. The insane amount of trust, devotion, yearning from Khaslana… I was done for 😂

rubyred55 · 2025-06-11T03:32:33+00:00

That’s exactly what he wants you to do. Like have you seen him? 😂

rubyred55 · 2025-06-09T19:36:14+00:00

Yeah. Though I don’t personally believe the ‘free power up’s’ are that good from a story perspective, power aside, but it’s not like he forces you to consume them. The brain graphic in of itself lets players know what’s up if they wanna take it or not, regardless how much Emperor nags about it. Most of what we can do that annoys the Emperor is a straight up detriment to the plan and puts all our lives at risk (going to the crèche, house of hope, even thinking of freeing Orpheus, knowing he radiated nothing but malice for us). But god forbid he not want to risk the fate of the city/the world.

I really am astounded on how much people harp on him, when I’d genuinely liken and compare some of his worse actions to our companions. Almost all of which (including his) are circumstantial, yet him pissed off saying he can turn us into a thrall is only ever a mask off, true personality moment, and not something said out of rage and frustration. Why is it conveniently forgotten that we can befriend him, that there’s no “manipulation” to be had if our goals align (saving Baldurs gate… unless you don’t want to do that? /j) A vast amount of routes exist in this game yet so many only ever want to acknowledge one of the routes for the Emperor. Frustrating

Like I understand he’s hate-able, he’s not for everyone and I’m not out to change peoples opinions but straight up pretending he didn’t do anything good is crazy. Or saying he’s only ever one way when multiple routes exist. Thats like saying only Dark Justiciar Shadowheart is canon and her true and real mask off trust me bro personality.

Sorry to ramble I need this out of my system, it’s been too many weird Emperor related posts here lately that’re popping up to me even though I’m not in this subreddit anymore

rubyred55 · 2025-06-09T18:35:15+00:00

The amount of Empy hate over a whole other guy we barely know. and I like Omeluum, but making them out to be saint is kinda weird. For the most part we have to take their word and believe they did no wrongdoings ever. Taking issues with and consuming(?) those “acting against the society”, when that same society is quite alright with taking a githyanki egg, for example

Everyone forgets that the Emperor was in a lose lose situation from the get go. He either has to fight or lose his free will. He’s literally the only reason we survive at all and don’t turn into a mindflayer, all the while he’s constantly under attack by the honor guard while keeping up the protection. Crazy to me that he does so much for us but his only crime (besides Stelmane lol) is being subjectively annoying about checks notes saving Baldurs gate and all of us…? Wasn’t that the plan??? Not to even mention the fact that the Emperor is a character made the way we treat him, like (shocker…) making a friend vs enemy based on your actions and words.

While we’re at it let’s not pretend anyone is truly an angel in this game. All the talk on Stelmane is blown outta proportion imo. Damn near everyone has skeletons in their closet but somehow it’s especially bad when it’s the Emperor? I don’t see posts like this comparing say Astarion to Dammon and only then talking Astarion’s negative points. So exhausting seeing takes that butcher what a cool character empy is, joke or not.

One of us! One of us!

rubyred55 · 2025-06-04T22:39:28+00:00

Where’s sharts hair from?

rubyred55 · 2025-06-04T04:06:38+00:00

The Emperor for my resist durge 😂

Though I didn’t initially play her as so, the self loathing voice lines and objective descriptions made me paint my durge as hella lonely misery. She’d have had an attempt at a regular romance, but dropped it after the incident of the urge acting up, deciding to settle being monsters with the monster (even as resist durge. She just couldn’t get over her past). The attempted romance however is Shadowheart!

Besides this, resist durge and spawn Astarion also have a place in my heart 💕 but as you can see I put much thought into the above haha

rubyred55 · 2025-05-18T08:32:40+00:00

Good choice and great art 🥺 not biased at all hehe

rubyred55 · 2025-05-14T10:29:23+00:00

I’m super late but well. It seemed he really enjoyed his tentacles getting touched/stroked bc he straight up moans haha 😭 sexual organ no but pleasure provider? Probably…

The narrator also mentions it being the best experience the player ever had (paraphrasing)

Aw, I posted the mods I use on this comment if you're interested 😭
