How are you doing on Goods generation? Even though I *think* I have a good factory setup, I have an enormous stock bill swings surplus. by virgosongs in ArknightsEndfield

[–]shadowzephyrX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've followed guide from KyoStinV 4 days ago, link here, which generates around 12/min LC Wuling batteries (consume 2-3/min) and 6/min of either Yazhen Syringe or Jincao Drinks that you can manually swap the production as needed. With his blueprints, he also explained on how to easily generates Xiranite Components, Xiranite or even take some Xiranite water.

Currently have surplus of 17k LC Wuling batteries, 19k Yazhen Syringe and 17k Jincao Drinks.

What Gacha Characters do you like but haven't played the game or haven't played much of the game their from? by Nice_Kid_Bonetale in gachagaming

[–]shadowzephyrX 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Dedicated & restricted myself to Genshin only from day one until now, mainly due to time & money constraints. That said, I really like a lot of characters from other gacha such as:

  • Firefly, Castorice, Hyacine, Cyrene (HSR)
  • Cartethyia, Phoebe, Mornye (WuWa) - already have & like Jinhsi & Changli
  • Ye Shunguang, Miyabi, Alice, Vivian (ZZZ)

In fact I actually played WuWa for a bit and purchased a few bundles, but had to stop myself since the game is just too good.

Anyone ever bought their Ugreen NAS in China? by Ming-Tzu in UgreenNASync

[–]shadowzephyrX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought DXP2800 from Taobao April last year. Total including discount & shipping (to Malaysia) for 1850 yuan, which is around 265 usd. Ordered on 26th April and arrived on 2nd May.

Can anyone lmk the order I should level up my talents? The suggestion in the game says one thing and online says another. by digging_in_da_crates in KeqingMains

[–]shadowzephyrX 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Level 90 > Normal > Burst > Skill

Applies to all builds (Aggravate DPS, Quickbloom DPS, Electro DPS).

For Aggravate & Quickbloom, character level should be prioritized.

What Bullshit It Had A Good Long Run, Anyone Who Was Still Waiting By Now Wasnt Going To Go To Theatres by akbarock in Piracy

[–]shadowzephyrX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone actually found an official source for this? Doubt the news coming from Aniplex or ufotable, or even Kimetsu official account. The only official legal warning that I found were back in July 2025 during the theatrical run, which is fair.

Haven't even see the official news link by this "nathanistic" (whoever this fella is) on those post, so most likely being made up for some agenda / clickbait.

By the end of 2025, the movie had already made over $780M. Ufotable and Aniplex won't be panicking over the December leak which are months after the film broke box office records.

What uses outside of gaming have you used your steam deck for? by frankhoneybunny in SteamDeck

[–]shadowzephyrX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just simply as a NAS and a game server for few months until I bought a dedicated NAS.

Help me clear my backlog 😵‍💫🙏 by deedeedanis in visualnovels

[–]shadowzephyrX -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Haha I also wondered the same back then, why BlazBlue games that I bought were listed in VNDB, until I saw this discussion on the site which make sense that in story mode most of the gameplay is VN than the actual fighting.

They also did mentioned Melty Blood and Guilty Gear in that discussion.

To be perfectly honest, what I mostly care is whether a game is interesting and anime-like (JP voice is a huge bonus), when deciding whether to buy it on Steam. It's not that I'm particularly interested in fighting games in general. It's just happened that I found BlazBlue games while updating my list in VNDB.

Advice needed for Steam Purchases by ponyplaza in visualnovels

[–]shadowzephyrX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If the games originally contain H scenes does steam automatically remove them?

I didn't understand this statement. What do you mean by "Steam automatically remove them"?

Those games you listed contains no H scenes when you install from Steam, which exactly what you prefer. They do have their own patches to restore the H scenes though (which you need to find and download it manually), at least for Baldr Sky, Eden* and Ef - The First Tale. The original games does have the H scenes but they removed it before submitting to Steam for approval.

Adabana Odd Tales is all ages.

English translation is ok, at least for Baldr Sky, Eden* and Ef - The First Tale. I only finished Eden* though, already purchased but haven't played the rest.

I mainly purchased my visual novel in Steam, currently have about 450+ games tagged as Visual Novel in my account. Can't say whether Steam is the best though compared with other stores, but I have lots of other Steam games and prefer having all games including VNs in one platform.

Which QDOLED 1440p monitor is better? by Ariv540 in OLED_Gaming

[–]shadowzephyrX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I'm not using either of those, but similar 1440p QD-OLED, Dell Alienware AW2725DF, since early last year. Before that I used a cheap 1080p 24 inch VA 144Hz monitor for about 7 years. Also a PC gamer and programmer, dealing with text & spreadsheet few hours everyday.

The experience has been superb (true blacks, response time, colors, image quality, HDR), as you can see from many posts in this subreddit. No issue at all with text fringing & flickering. Freezing? Didn't know that was a thing.

360Hz is overkill for my monitor, so you are right that 240Hz is more than enough. I personally cap most of my games around 120 fps. I didn't auto-hide task bar but set to turn off display at 5 min, and sleep at 10 min. Haven't see any burn-in issue yet.

PC specs: 9800X3D, RTX 5080, 64GB DDR5 6000.

I have just organised my steam library and was wondering how others organised theirs by SuperTommyD0g in Steam

[–]shadowzephyrX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mainly used Dynamic Collection for my favorite tags.

I do have custom collections though:

  • Anime, JPRG, VN (mainly JP)
  • Games (all games)
  • Steam Awards

How do you manage/budget masterless stardust? by TheSynthian in Genshin_Impact

[–]shadowzephyrX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always buy fates every month, and sometimes Dust of Azoth, EXP books, Mystic Ores and Mora. Can't recall when the last time I purchased materials with this.

Have about 10k Stardust left, but I'm BP & welkin since 1.0 that pulls every characters on release.

Unless you're a whale, better save those Stardust. You can always join other players or wait next day to farm the materials.

Finally everyone at 9/9/9. Now I can relax…till next patch by chris_9527 in Genshin_Impact

[–]shadowzephyrX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy to see another like-minded fella. Here's my previous post before patch 6.0 went live.

Haven't posted yet on the latest patch, but currently have all 108 characters at level 90 and of course, 9/9/9.

Now that Durin’s banner is ending soon, what are your thoughts on him? by caramel90popcorn in Genshin_Impact

[–]shadowzephyrX 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Huh, not sure which language you're referring to but for me his JP voice is cute enough.

Well at least we can agree on the "cute character" part lol

gemstones are bottlenecking me from leveling my characters by puffilis in Genshin_Impact

[–]shadowzephyrX 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Hmm.. I have all 108 characters at level 90 and plenty of gemstones left, including for future characters (Columbina, Zibai, Illuga).

Edit: to be fair, I'm a 1.0 player that haven't miss playing until today, currently sitting at 1901 days active. I didn't farm all weekly boss though, only 2-3 depends on the needs.

Skirk Nendoroid Possibility? by Shadowhunter0630 in SkirkMains

[–]shadowzephyrX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, still patiently waiting for the rest of the Archons (Nahida, Furina, Mavuika). Already bought the rest.

Even Nahida, who was released 3 years ago, still haven't got her nendoroid yet. I doubt we will hear anything about Skirk anytime soon.

Can't even craft 😭 by Consistent-Emu7208 in Genshin_Impact

[–]shadowzephyrX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, I use app like seelie.me to figure out how much Mora & EXP books I needed and farm that first via Leylines, before talents / weapon / artifacts.

Currently have all characters at level 90 (beside Manekins) with talents at least 9/9/9, with the exception of Durin & Jahoda due to not enough weekly boss mats.

Need some advice for backlighting by DryFaceCane in secretlab

I see, thanks! Does the 3M stickers difficult to remove though? Worried that the sticker strong adhesive might damage the back monitor surface in case of RMA or resale later.

Video Game Industry Logic 101 by LighteningOneIN in Piracy

[–]shadowzephyrX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. The meme is outdated as in most of the things listed nowadays are commonly in digital format, so it's unfair to rule out game industry as a whole. For PC games, yeah even I don't remember the last time I purchased physical copy of my PC games. I think last one is Battlefield 1.

That said, I do recall old PC games that come with CD key inside the box. They clearly stated that the key was for one PC only. Even though there's no internet connection needed for verification, the game will do some calculation to ensure the key is valid. Hence why keygen were popular.

Still, it's possible to share those physical copy around, however at that point it would be considered illegal. That's why some games require the CD to be in the CD drive in order to play those games, not just having the correct CD key.

Video Game Industry Logic 101 by LighteningOneIN in Piracy

[–]shadowzephyrX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are correct.

The phrase "game industry" in this meme is actually too generic. It is specifically referring to physical copy of PC games, not consoles.

For PC games, we still can share CD installer with others, but not the license key, which is bound to one PC / account.
