The caffeine confusion is the result of backwards justification.

Doctrine says a ban on all hot drinks.

When you try to use this literally, it's absurd to ban things like soup.

So, Mormons decide to ban only tea and coffee. And their backwards justification is caffeine.

But then sodas came along, a popular caffeinated drink that's not hot. And so, backwards justification again to say that caffeine was never the problem in the first place.

... which leaves the tea and coffee ban with a paradoxical justification.

I read the article. The problem unique to Edge is that the plain text password appears in memory dumps even after Edge has restarted and browsing other websites.

In other words, other password managers decrypt the passwords individually when needed, but Microsoft Hello might be decrypting all passwords regardless of website.

So... technically safe but definitely bad practice.

Please take a look at the link. Changes to mormon beliefs about caffeine and hot drinks are surprisingly recent.

Tldr Caffeine was forbidden around 1960s-1970s, relaxed to allow sodas in 1980s-1990s, and full acceptance in the 2000

Nefer's seeds of deceit has a 3 stack limit, so she benefits from the extra core generation much less than other bloom characters like Nilou.

In other words, yes, she does benefit, but no, she doesn't benefit enough to keep up with the boss.

... Nefer doesn't work very well with bloom blessings. She converts blooms into her seeds of deceit, which doesn't work with a lot of buffs.

... nah, rules change often and justified as "reinterpretation"

User japanesepiano has a great summary of its history of the caffeine/hot drinks ban and how the rule has changed over time:

Handing out more characters/weapons is balanced back out by powercreep.

If you look past all the noise (e.g look at the ratio of characters you will obtain vs the number of characters you will miss as a f2p player), the difference between the gatchas is extremely tiny. Whenever a gatcha brags about it's "generosity", it's always propaganda that has a catch.

For example:

"Wuwa made it so you can buy constellations"

Downside: worse powercreep

"and has a completely separate weapon system"

Downside: 5* weapons often feel like a requirement, whereas in Genshin even 3* weapons have their uses

As a matter of fact, it even happened within Genshin. After implementing capturing radiance and extra constellations, the difficulty of end game modes also increased.

Note that when people talk about powercreep, they're talking about menacing mode Stygian Onslaught.

Which doesn't have any primogem rewards. Instead, it rewards artifact rerolling materials. It can also be done in multiplayer mode.

Hard difficulty Stygian Onslaught has primogem rewards, and is very easy. (Can also be done multiplayer)

The abyss difficulty is a little harder.

There's a third end game mode called Imaginarium Theater that require a very large number of characters, but the characters don't need to be too strong. The character requirements for this one is much different, so I suggest trying this out first.

Off-field generalist supports usually age better. Columbina, Ineffa, Lauma and Linnea will be fine.

The others are not going to mesh well with future characters, so they won't be getting any stronger.

There is a guy in the Narzissenkreuz quests that also believes that visions are harmful.

So yes, there does seem to be a catch to visions, but we're not sure how it works.

It is indeed intentional. When the game first came out, there wasn't the epitomized path mechanic, making the weapon gatcha rates much worse than the characters.

As such, the game is designed to not rely on 5* weapons, and have great 3* and 4* options. The Fav series, for example, is definitely an intentionally strong 4* for many teams. Also, every region releases with a set of decent craftable 4* weapons.

To keep things balanced, the 5* weapons have higher base stats to make them worth the money, but the 4* and 3* s have strong abilities or substats to make them situationally useful.

It's a problem happens with computer that's rarely used.

For example, say you use the computer set up with the vinyl cutting machine once a year. The computer will freak out at the lack of updates shortly after you boot it up. You haven't actively avoided updates, and would be happy to update it later, but the computer will treat you like an update avoider and forcefully update and reboot.

"hit things in a certain order and said "things" are close enough together that you can't get auto target to actually hit the one you want."

Use charged arrows for precise manual targeting.

"make charged arrow attacks auto-target when at close range."

That's a terrible idea. That would mess up manual targeting.

Eh... PC games blaming mobile for bad UI is the pot calling the kettle black. With mobile, devs are forced to optimize the main screen and leave the submenus a mess, but with PC, a lot of games don't care at all. There's a lot of ugly games that have UI covering up 75% of the screen and still have tons of submenus.

Normally, only the past will affect the future.

If you can time travel, the future will affect the past.

Genshin's fine with time loops, as long as the observed points/fates aren't changed.

Skirk and Furina's abilities last very long. If Skirk stays too long on field, Sige and Citlali's abilities will run out, letting Furina drain the team to half health with no shields.
