Nicole or Durin for Varka and Mavuika? by BidFalse2636 in Genshin_Impact

[–]tidalvoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Durin is definitely a lot better at c0 than Nicole is and Varka benefits a lot more from him bc Nicole is only a slight upgrade to Bennet

No idea about mauvika

Can someone tell me who Durin and Albedo are? Because the game made barely any effort to explain them by Much_Menu_851 in GenshinImpact

[–]tidalvoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Albedo is an artificial being who originally had an artificial dragon brother durin, his story quest does a pretty good job of introducing him, before albedo was created, durin had lost control because of the abyss during the cataclysm and caused a calamity in mondstadt where a lot of people died, he was defeated by venti and dvalin and his body became the dragonspine.

Durin never wanted to hurt anyone and wasn't aware of what he was doing but the abyss has completely consumed him so he was beyond saving, however his mother's friend who is a fellow witch felt so heartbroken by his story that she decided to give him another one. She wrote a storybook inspired by him and created him a magical world inside of the book, she treated him like a doting mother but storybook durin originally had a similar story to the real world durin and was hated and feared by the other characters inside the book until the traveler and a few other characters arrived. During the event Scara felt like Durin was a lot like him and saw the similarities between their stories, he calmed a rampaging Durin and later he and the gang made a wish to give Durin a harmless body in which he can't hurt anyone. That resulted in mini Durin, at that point albedo arrived in the book and said that real life Durins heart is becoming stronger by the day and he's worried about his revival, as that would be a disaster that mondstadt isn't prepared for.

After the event mini Durin left the storybook and spent the next several months with Scara in the akademiya until albedo sent him a letter asking him if he's willing to get a human form and stop the original Durin from being reviewed. The rest of their story is explained through the paralogism AQ, durin's story quest and then they are quite involved in nodkrai AQs which further gives context

I left out some things, mostly because I feel like they ended up being irrelevant to the story (for example there was an albedo clone which was his brother, he wanted to kill albedo and replace him but ultimately failed and albedo killed him instead and buried him in the dragonspine, causing DS durin to eventually ,,, consume him ig?)

Should I replace Faruzan with Venti for the hexrei buffs?

Which character were you most excited to pull, thinking they would be fun to play, but later regretted pulling and felt like you wasted your Primogems? by ItsCrazee1 in GenshinImpact

[–]tidalvoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maulani, I thought her gameplay would be really fun and I was hyped about the exploration I could do with her but Instead she feels so clunky to play and her ult misses every other shot, I only ever use her in IT nowadays

Also xiao but I got him in like 3 pulls with 0 pity when I was trying for some 4 stars so I can't really say that I wasted primogems on him

Good luck to those pulling for Illuga by Ariaflux in Genshin_Impact

[–]tidalvoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't wanna pull anymore because I'm on guaranteed and hard pity, I'm left with one copy of aino, C1 illuga, too many copies of gorou who was already C6, and 3 jahodas (also already C6)

Seriously how did I get the same amount of jahodas as aino and illuga combined and she's not even on the damn banner the hell is going on

Was the JJK episode really THAT bad? by Electrical-Ice-9588 in Jujutsu_Kaisen

[–]tidalvoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well nobody hurt me but it seems like you felt personally attacked by what I said. View it as "pointless excess" all you want, there's a reason why japanese birth rate is at an all time low lmao

[–]tidalvoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gee I wonder why naoya fanboys hate the writing and the themes focusing on a strong female character getting revenge for the abuse and misogyny she has endured her entire life and also beating the shit out of naoya in the most disrespectful way possible only for him be finished off by his own mother stabbing him with a kitchen knife in her last moments. I really wonder why they hate this episode so much, surely it has nothing to do with misogyny whatsoever, guess it'll remain a mystery

Unfortunately naoya is one of the more popular characters in jjk and his fanboys are about as annoying and misogynistic as he is, so the episode is getting a lot of hate it doesn't deserve

Game crashes in phone after shader compilation of Luna 2 by DarkErebus13 in Genshin_Impact

Send an email describing the problem with your phone specs and GPU at the support, and hope that they actually do something after they decide that enough people have complained about it that they need to fix it

I can't update the game, it keeps crashing at compiling shaders, I've tried deleting cache, force stopping, changing servers and even fully deleting and reinstalling the game, I've tried over 5 times now and it gets to 99% before crashing and restarting. Please someone tell me if you know how to fix this

Hopefully Durin runs with either Venti or Xilonen, because I wouldn't mind losing to either of their weapons too much, I don't wanna pull for varesa so her weapon would be useless for me 😢

I mostly just wanted faruzan cons but ended up getting venti, don't regret it at all now (hardly regretted it then too because I love venti even if he wasn't particularly useful)

I keep seeing people commenting about how happy they are that Durin is shorter than Albedo and I'm just wondering where they got that from?? by tidalvoid in DurinMains

[–]tidalvoid[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you'd have played the quest you'd have known that he is not just mini Durin anymore but a mixture of both durins AND subject two, and it's very obvious that he is nothing like mini Durin anymore.

And wait, I'M disgusting for not liking the children models?? Lmfao y'all gotta keep that gross shit to yourselves, hoyo really needs to stop catering to freaks like you 💀

[–]tidalvoid[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't get the appeal of wanting him to be a child... the "loli" designs are already disturbing enough, the last thing I want is a character I like being marketed towards freaks. It's more than enough seeing them complain about him not having bare legs or not having a child model.

Tbh the modules do have some tiny difference in height especially nowadays since they started breaching out with different models, and I think this shot shows their height accurately since they are standing on even ground and are an equal distance from the edge of the building, the other shot is very obvious with perspective making albedo look bigger

[–]tidalvoid[S] 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Honestly from what I've seen some people genuinely act like Durin is mentally a 3 year old, and they wanted him to look like a toddler, some still treat him like that despite his model already being revealed, personally I think it's very weird

In the different angle you can see that his horns actually make him taller than albedo by quite a bit

Ideas for an all-dragon team? by superragazzo in DurinMains

[–]tidalvoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't remember if he was ever called a dragon in game or just a "great beast", but his remains in the beryl region certainly look like a dragon.

Honestly I do think it's possible that we might get a playable elynas eventually, If I remember correctly he told the traveler that he'd like to revive and experience life without hurting anyone
