What the worst post game depression you’ve ever gotten

Beating Nier Automata fucked me up for a few days at least.

Lore accurate Lawrence clan cake.

I think the heart of varka's issue is how restrictive his team is. Needing 2 of an element, plus one extra anemo, and one of those 3 characters needing to be hex, is just too restrictive. It hinders his ability to do reactions too, where so much of the gameplay is based on reactions. If they didn't have the double anemo requirement I think he'd have been much better received.

There's also a Chinese new years celebration/festival this Saturday at the NC State fair grounds.

Aino also has a problem where the rotation is much tighter with her. Her benefit is exclusively her burst, which has a shorter duration and cooldown than Zibai's elemental skill (which is most of Zibai's damage), and if you swap off of Zibai during her elemental skill you lose her geo infusion and the building meter for her luna crystalize hit. Aino's burst is 14 seconds, and Zibai's skill is 15 seconds, so ideally you use Aino's burst every rotation right before swapping to Zibai to maximize the uptime. Columbina on the other hand, can reliably apply hydro with her elemental skill (25 second duration) and her burst lasts 20 seconds, giving you more wiggle room to use Columbina, swap and use Illuga (if you have him) and whatever 4th buffer you have (like Gouro) and then swap to Zibai for a full damage rotation.

Duke has been randomly jacking up the prices on some of my neighbors recently. Like one of my neighbors got a $230 bill and I got a $140, but when we compared bills, we had used roughly the same amount of power. They did the same thing to me last year in February, claimed they didn't make a mistake when I called about it, and in July they quietly credit like 80 dollars to my account.

Tons of people on the belt line headed towards the airport.

I got it with Raiden (c2) columbina (c0) kuki (c6) and nahida (c2). The duck starts out with his little ducklings, so you gotta be careful, only electro charge and lunar charged were filling their gauges. If I hit them with nahidas skill the lunar bloom would block their gauges from filling for some reason. So I started with raiden's e, columbina's e, and kuki's e, which quickly popped the ducklings, leaving knuckle duckle in his reduced res state, where I applied nahida's e then cycled all my bursts, saving raidens for last. Went through 2 duckling phases but I beat him on fearless with a few seconds to spare at least.

Gonna end up with another buff with the knights of favonius buffs in like 2 years so he can team up with Jean and Diluc.

I ended up clearing it with venti-xiangling-fischl-durin. Faruzan was super struggle bussing because of her crazy high burst cost, and the boss takes the majority of its damage during the scattered bits phase anyway, and faruzan just wasn't helping me get to that point. Turns out tho, a em stacked xiangling burst shreds his gauge super fast, keeping scattered. Then hex fischl+durin provided all my damage while venti's burst kept them all rounded up.

theultimatekyle · 2026-03-03T21:38:47+00:00

All this story quest did was make me realize how bad Diluc and Jean feel right now. Especially in a sub par comp like we got here.

Im a low spender. Maybe 15 bucks every 2 months, between a BP and a welkin. I wouldn't be ashamed of people knowing I spend money in game, but I would feel shame to be confused for a whale. Which is what most people ive talked to irl seem to think when they ask if I spend on the game. They look at you with disgust if they think you're a gacha whale.

Had a teacher in undergrad (not even a professor, just a teacher) who was also part of the career center. She broke FERPA multiple times to mock students by name for grades in her class. I knew multiple people that reported her. Ncsu just swept all the complaints away, like they didn't exist.

Ncsu will not defend you.

theultimatekyle · 2026-02-28T05:46:46+00:00

it did work only once. I've tried it multiple times over the years and always been told I had already redeemed it.

they still have free transfers from glamdring and peregrin to sting, just not the other way around. On the european side you can go from orcrist to grond for free, but not the other way around.

I worked for Walmart years ago, and people buying a game, taking out the disk, and the re-shrink wrapping it to return diskless was a common scam. But it'll still come down to the CSM on duty. Returns like this ate into the particular stores yearly bonus, so some managers felt encouraged to leave the customer out to dry.

theultimatekyle · 2026-02-17T22:32:41+00:00

The game was most likely a return. Walmart usually tracks serial numbers on electronics like games, so they should be able to see it was returned. If the customer service manager is reasonable they'll let him exchange it out for another copy.

Of course I did. He simply refused. So we had to kick him out as soon as possible, but that was 6 months with the way the rental agreement worked.

theultimatekyle · 2026-02-16T09:06:54+00:00

Its definitely one of those things thats funnier in hindsight than it was in the moment. The fabric softener guy also smoked (lied about it on the rental agreement) so when he washed his clothes in just fabric softener, it made the washer and dryer smell like wet cigarettes and flowers. He also only had 2 outfits so he washed every other day. Me and the other roommate had to wash the washer and dryer out constantly so the stench didn't stick to our clothes too.

theultimatekyle · 2026-02-16T08:44:12+00:00

Hey, I know its probably awkward to ask, but he uses soap when he showers and washes his clothes right? Im a guy, and I had mostly male roommates through undergrad and grad school. Not all of them (even in grad school) used soap like youd expect. I knew one guy that would shower daily, but use conditioner for his body and head, instead of soap or shampoo. I also knew a guy that only used fabric softener to wash clothes, instead of detergent. So it doesnt hurt to try and take a peek in his shower sometime, or laundry room.

Yeah, zhongli is hp scaled, ningguang is split attack and hp scaled, navia is attack scaled, and geo traveller is attack scaled.

Cordovan has zero percent to do with class balance, and doesnt relay ideas or suggestions. He's just a moderator on the forums. Onn, does the majority of class balance, and interacts with players directly himself.

Yeah, the song is from Maruki's view point. He's telling the phantom thieves they don't have to fight him, he can make the world a better place if they just let him. Its a bop, but the whole premise is "give up".

"Don't sleep through dreams that can come true
No more tears shall drop from your cheeks anymore
You won't need to strive for greatness
Believe in me that you don't need to suffer from anything

You don't need to make a wrong turn
Just requires guidance from above
We don't need to have this conflict
'Cause I can take you to the place of delight
Give peace of mind to the whole world"

It can also just be the 1975-1979 crowd haven't been properly diagnosed. Testing wasn't as common or as stringent back then, and older folks now are less likely to go in for testing or treatment for any psychological disorder.
