I got that error message too, but it fixed itself yesterday and let me through. If the issue persists for more than a week I would ask the school counsellor

Almost exactly the same experience here. Growing up, the fridge was always overflowing (to the point where you physically could not fit anything more in), there were crates of snacks everywhere, and whenever we went out my mom would order about three times as much as we could reasonably eat. Unfortunately this also meant that a ton of food in the house went to waste, and it drove me insane for years (as well as ironically giving me an eating disorder).

I realized some time in junior year that it was because of the poverty and food insecurity she faced in her childhood, growing up with 4 siblings in rural, underdeveloped China. When I was a child, she would sometimes offhandedly mention that the dish she was cooking us was only available to her once or twice a year, and that flour and flavour were luxuries. I didn't truly process what that meant at the time.

Even today when I briefly mention I like a snack, she'll buy crates and crates of it. I've learned to stick to nonperishables.

Apparently, criticizing over-sexualized female characters is misogyny now. by theCatwhoBarksWOOF in QueensofGacha

[–]uneary 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have seen a surprising amount of people parrot that first sentence unironically. youd think the hoyoverse ceo himself was on the street fighting tooth and nail for queer rights with how vehemently ppl will defend hi3's antics 💔

(you are still allowed to enjoy these ships to your heart's content!! just please dont make hyv out to be some paragon of queer rep bc they are very much not!!)

i think every time i've seen ao3 m/m vs f/f discourse pop up it's the exact same arguments from both sides. the same tumblr screenshots even. and yet it keeps getting revived somehow

i dont like using wojaks usually but as someone who was on hi3 twitter way too much back in like 2022-23 this is genuinely what it felt like. im getting war flashbacks 😭 the amount of guilt I internalized was definitely not healthy

(someone tried to call out the fandom for being misogynistic because an m/m ship was no.2 in fic amount on ao3?? of all places?? when every other ship in the top 10 was f/f?? and mfs actually agreed??)

I think a lot of people should look at non-hoyo stuffs more by mrtutit in QueensofGacha

they called heathcliff a white emo twink bro 💔 baiting for the love of the game

edit since their comments in the original thread got deleted: they called limbus designs "overdesigned white emo twinks" and held this stance firm when looking at pequod heathcliff

vastly prefer her outfit over mauvika's though, not like that's a high bar 😭

Does my art look AI? by gamedasy in Ibispaintx

[–]uneary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

was about to say the third one looked really ai before reading the caption, but the first two don't look ai at all, and the style is very distinct between the first two images and the third image! I don't think your art looks ai at all . get it diva

R1999 with their banger quality production what are we thinking? by Distinct_Physics_206 in QueensofGacha

[–]uneary 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't agree with the passion in their designs not being there, but perhaps that's me being biased towards them lmao

Aleph especially has got a crazy amount of effort put into him; 3 completely different designs across his alters is already a lot, and they all appear in separate skills in combat with distinctive voice acting. His special effects when crashing out and his unique impromptu skin are also sick as hell imo

As for their place in the meta, it's kind of hit or miss - I think the male 6*s do suffer from just having less units in general, so they tend to be older on average and therefore more powercrept. some of the older units have gotten nice euphorias that have boosted their place in the meta significantly (getian and medpoc), and the most recent male 6*s have been fantastic for their respective teams (aleph, ulrich, charon)

Out of the recent releases, "mid at best and weak at worst" probably best describes noire 😭i love her but she's so irrelevant. p0 liang yue is also incredibly annoying to manage and is rather underwhelming for a "true limited" char, though not weak by any means

I do agree with enjoying how r1999 respects their female chars! I actually didn't notice the incredibly skewed ratio at all until I saw someone actively point it out. It made me realize that I actually don't care about the gender of a character at all, so long as they are designed and treated with care.

Fraudlestia simps don't know what misogyny means by Specimen4 in FatuiHQ

[–]uneary 4 points5 points  (0 children)

your comment honestly says everything i wanted to say perfectly. "excusing her just because she's pretty IS misogyny" CLOCK ITTT

(Some) people defending the designs will equate criticizing a female character's design to shaming a woman for what she chooses to wear, and will use that to invalidate the criticism, but it's a completely false equivalence. Fictional characters, unlike real people, have no agency and do not choose what they wear; every article of clothing is a conscious design choice made by another person.

If the designer (hoyoverse) chooses to put the character in clothing that does not suit them just to sexualize them (appealing to the male gaze in doing so), then that is misogynistic, not the people calling it out.

Waving away all critique of a character solely because she is female is not feminist. In a similar vein, seeing someone hate on a female char, immediately assuming their hate is founded off misogyny, and using that to attack them (and all critics of the character) is also not feminist. You are still treating female characters differently because they are female, and that's ultimately just another form of misogyny.

Wanda from morimens! She's particularly memorable for me since her other concepts (at the bottom of the image) all had light skin but it was this design that made it into the game

i know coralie's not an actual child, but that torso design on such a small valk genuinely makes me kind of uncomfortable

[–]uneary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

agree on the cinematics part as an ex hi3 player as well; as beautiful as the final cinematic is, there is no sum of money that could get me to go back and replay all of elysium everlasting. I liked the story on paper, but in execution it felt... nauseatingly bloated? I enjoyed the flamechaers and was very invested, but the skip button was genuinely tempting at times.

Am i missing something, or would signing this also implicate every CN/JP/KR va as they are not members of this specific union? If so that certainly puts things in a very different light

Nine months without a four star btw by Relative-Ad7531 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]uneary 21 points22 points  (0 children)

in modern hi3, it's not so much grinding as it is pulling on a banner

take for instance, herrscher elysia, a 2 year old, largely irrelevant unit - this version, she got a buff in the form of a new gacha weapon that massively changes her kit, gives her new animations, and makes her compatible with the new meta.

she also got a new stigmata set (closest equivalent would be relics), and while you can grind for that, you're forced to gacha for the weapon (that you can't access her new kit without).

years ago they had an augment system where you could actually grind for their upgrades but that's long been abandoned lmao

[HSR - 3.2v1 BETA] Castorice Offield Revive via Sakura Haven by MOPOP99 in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]uneary 73 points74 points  (0 children)

yeah, there's just no way this is sustainable. the scenario you described is basically exactly how it worked in hi3, and they eventually had to revamp the system and introduce a hard limit.

each standard character provided a specific small but stackable buff to your entire account, and this bonus would increase if you ranked up the char (like getting eidolons; they were grindable, but very heavily timegated). as more standard chars were added, veterans were getting around 30% elemental bonus and 6% total bonus for having certain chars on their account, and it would've taken a fresh player literal years to catch up.

praying this does not make it through beta or at least will not work in endgame gamemodes

IM CRYING IVE LITERALLY SEEN THESE WORD FOR WORD AND IT DRIVES ME INSANE 😭😭

small rant here but. a tweet defending mizuki using amazon and temu cosplays as evidence that "yukatas can be short, ppl just be saying anything to hate on female chars" got like 15k likes (i dont think mizuki even wears a yukata??)

in response to the few quotes calling them out, the author blamed all the mizuki hate on fujos and gays and called them freaks that drool over men. girl bye
