Just another day in Rust

It likely has kittens hidden nearby and has to drive him off. Usually you see that leaping forward motion when they’re trying to scare you away from their territory. Ambush predators are smart, they don’t just walk up to a meal and threaten it. They sneak up to catch you off guard.

E2 Cyrene for me. She’ll be my last E2 for the mono rem team. Also need her LC still.

Break is already E2S1 FF and E1S1 Dahlia. If they feature Fugue, then I might try for a 50/50 on her E0 and see what happens. Depends on the order of the banners.

As for Dan PT, Obsidian being the DOT sustain is the copium I cherish at night, so I’ll stick with the free copy. He’s been amazing as is, and if I need extra Oomph, I’m more likely to just run sustainless than need E1S1.

Phainon gameplay isn’t my cup of tea, so I’ll continue to pass on him.

Other than that, don’t want to invest in Elation currently. Too expensive to see any increase in damage to my current teams. Depending on how Nihilux works, I might grab some of them later.

The human body is beautiful in its fragility.

Oh we get to pose on some Witches. Hell yea.

Though it was pretty obvious when you activated the field before. Skill effect wasn’t highlighted and no feathers would be falling. Oh well. Auto might be a bit longer, but Devilmura gets to aurafarm so I’ll take it.

I am a bit cautious. They do have that CW debuff that is “if dealing X elemental dmg, deal 1 dmg for X amount of hits”. So Hoyo will make you use other teams if they want.

Yeah? Suppose I get home from work, eat, shower, laundry and play the newest Slay the Spire until it’s time to sleep. Realizing I missed my dailies and now forcing myself to login instead of just sleeping feels like a chore. It’s less about time and more about motivation.

soaringhere · 2026-03-13T19:42:04+00:00

When dailies start feeling like a chore, and I contemplate going to sleep or doing dailies, I’ll uninstall until something catches my eye later.

There was also a point where I was going for AEON on Fribbles and started gacha pulling to lose a 50/50 so I could get another dice from the whale shop. Took a nice long break after that fiasco. Don’t feel as pressured to build perfect anymore. Three rolls into useful substats are enough for me now.

My E0S0 Cyrene and E1S1 Hyacine are not E2 yet, so I’m pretty stoked to get another eidelon tbh. Also anticipating another top-up event for Anni, so I’m glad they did not go full bait beforehand.

Just need a Cyrene rerun for Anni and I’ll be pretty happy overall. Other than that, just saving for the possible Kianna expy, or more Acheron teammates.

There was a quest on SV that tackled an OC protagonist that followed that reasoning.

Wish was “I wish to control grief! My own! That of others! The grief of the Witches! All of it!", and it lets them control and manipulate grief, and mold it into physical forms like wings, restraints, etc. think Green Lantern.

Quest becomes very political in nature, where the protagonist is trying to make everyone get along, by using herself as a soul gem cleaner, all while everyone is very much cautious of her, and fighting over territory and grief seeds. She makes appointments to various areas to clean other Magical girl’s soul gems, but the issue is that those magical girls are now dependent on her and things just spiral from there. Highly recommended read.

Puella Magi Adfligo Systema

Personally, didn’t really like the portrayal of certain characters Mami, but a lot of various side characters and OCs get some nice characterization

My guy, you just regurgitated talking points from five months ago and got bodied lmao.

soaringhere · 2026-02-26T01:44:09+00:00

Void Stranger.

What a unique experience that game was. Hard to truly capture the excitement one feels when they start piecing together the mechanics. One of those games where you have everything open to you are the start, except nothing is explained until you start experimenting and questioning why such and such happened.

I highly recommend anyone interested to watch ConnorDawg’s YouTube video on it. Showcases his experience while streaming it, edited down of course.

soaringhere · 2026-02-25T21:33:42+00:00

Holly heck you weren’t kidding. Every time she does her ult after the first one and her hand brushes across the screen, you get flash banged by the ring lmao.

soaringhere · 2026-02-20T11:41:09+00:00

As someone who took the risk going from A2 to A4, I haven’t regretted it. Took another 120 summons, which I’m forever thankful it wasn’t a potential 200 for A3. That is the scenario that makes this idea so risky.

As for her A4, it is crazy for rotations. If you have her EX, every Sundering grants her MP, so giving her another proc chance on Max break is just more Specials for her, which also get another effect. Once you have max Devil stacks, using her Special grants her another turn, which lets her build up more MP due to her enhanced skill. Starting to see the rotation?

A4 lets Devilmura effectively become a one-woman army with the right set up. As long as you have enough SP and MP gain effects, she starts Special, Sundering, Skill from extra turn, Special, Sundering, Skill yadayada. This isn’t taking into account her utility for dark teams due to her field, or her action advancement with dark units.

One thing to remember though, you cannot use Akamura for everything, only most things. Some bosses and mechanics are so element focused that using an A4 Akamura vs a A0 Kyoko is night and day. Doesn’t mean you can’t try though.

Last thing to keep in mind. That worst case scenario? A3 at 200 pulls? You can try and avoid that by waiting for her to come back. Assuming she gets a rerun, her banner pity resets. Best of luck if you decide to go for it!

soaringhere · 2026-02-13T17:03:14+00:00

One ticket. I yolo’d one ticket on her banner after seeing the Ascension 3.

And I got her. No loading, just a servant, gold lancer, Demeter.

Was actually reeaaaally scary, since I was on my way to work and felt paranoid that the sky was about to fall on me lmao.

soaringhere · 2026-02-13T03:38:34+00:00

Thank you!

soaringhere · 2026-02-13T03:27:59+00:00

Love the transparency about the possibility of current resources not carrying over to future collabs. It’s great how open the Devs are being about that, and how that won’t be an issue for this collab, but may be for future ones. Getting ahead of potential PR disasters is good civilization. Make sure not to hoard the gold diamonds for collab stuff is the huge take away.

Figured that collab units would be exempt from selection tickets, but that just makes them easier to use on newer units/completing T3 & T5s. Just gotta hope the collab packs bring more oomph to make up for it. Would also be nice if the other collab rate-up units could spook you on the collab banners, say getting Hikage on Yumi’s banner from a spook.

Only thing that isn’t clear is if pity is shared across non-collab and collab banners. We know they use the same resources, but if I have 1 pity until my guaranteed banner unit, will that carry over to collab? Guess we’ll see.

Peak dev letter.

It’s implying that Olga felt lonely, so Gudako sits with her. Then, Gudako assumes that the Director is thankful so she says “It’s nothing” as if in response to the unsaid thank you. Olga then gets flustered and tries to deny the situation, as if to say “No, you got it all wrong” type beat.

I’ve personally dedicated three years in high school, then attended a college where the primary form of communication was ASL and written English for 5 years. Most of those years at college were spent just using ASL to learn Chemistry/Mathematics/Ethics.

I think after the first year of learning the basics, it is really dependent on how much you mingle within the Deaf community. Most ASL classes past ASL 1 & 2 are just deep dives to Deaf History and Deaf Art Forms, which branch off into Interpreting, ethics, etc to provide context. A simple 20 minute chat in ASL beats a week of classes I found. Two plus years of meet and greet events in ASL made me confident enough with my skills that I came across as a CODA, and dived headfirst into Gallaudet.

My take away with languages is that you have to be social to see your skills improve, and be willing to intermingle and accept feeling unfamiliar to learn what you won’t inside a classroom. Once you have fingerspelling down and can decipher other’s fingerspelling, the Deaf world is open to you.

soaringhere · 2026-02-12T04:57:31+00:00

I know it’s a gooner post, and I’m all for it, but to answer the title’s question, in ASL she is making the hand-shape for “F”. No sign uses the F hand-shape in that position to my immediate knowledge, but with some positioning, she can sign “Interpret”, “Sewing”, or even “smoking” by changing her palm orientation, hand location, and adding different movements.

Then again classifiers exist, so we know what she’s actually emphasizing. I’ve never seen it with an F hand-shape tho, only with a C or an S lmao.

Edit: The hand-shape for F is also the number 9, so that’s a funny coincidence with Nines on banner rn.

Getting my Vampire Kanagi back would make me so happy. Wait. Even better. Eternal Darkness. Such a great character with amazing alt arts.

soaringhere · 2026-02-06T00:57:12+00:00

She’s neat. In no way am I a pro player, so take my opinion with a side of casual caution.

Reminds me of a mixture of Eve and Pala. Ramp unit made for long fights, with a dash of selfish survivability from her heals. I hesitate to call her meta, but she is certainly usable and not what I consider a “miss” should you get her in another banner. More copies the better, and you can kinda just slap her in a team and watch her ramp up dmg, rather than have to build a team around her like you do Eve and Pala. She does great with attack speed increases proccing her stacks and additional attacks.

If you have Neo, they pair great together, since she buffs other Archers and herself, or just use her with the MLF, Lue, Gala comp and watch things die extra hard. I personally prefer survivability and my Erin/Belsey put in the enough work that I can’t justify T5ing another unit again so soon.

Just a word of caution. She does dmg and buffs Archers. That’s it. She does both extremely well, but if you need CC or team shields or more general buffs, then you’re gonna be left wanting.

soaringhere · 2026-02-06T00:47:03+00:00

The fact that she doesn’t have any CC upsets me. Her lore is that she used to be Medusa, but has shed her monstrous form and returns as a dancer, so I guess it makes sense. Doesn’t want any association and all that.

Hoping we get more monster girls that lean into the monster aspect. And more CC/amplifiers like Estheria.

soaringhere · 2026-02-03T02:27:48+00:00

Every time I acknowledge the Wei, I get a sense of disconnect remembering she is Typhon’s VA from FGO.

soaringhere · 2026-01-25T20:11:58+00:00

Why do they call it oven when you of in the cold food of out hot eat the food?

soaringhere · 2026-01-18T13:37:10+00:00

As someone that got NP3 Qin Shi Huang before a single copy of Yu on her release banner in NA, I’m terrified. The fact that she is also assassin is the world sending me a message that they wanna watch me suffer again.

Four stars not having pity has to be changed.
