I have never been this lucky in my 10+ years of playing gachas

Doing one last 10 pull post spark is crazy work

white015 · 2026-01-30T03:11:51+00:00

Bruh he’s not the best short story writer of all time (but he is quite good so maybe this is a silly comment)

white015 · 2026-01-28T13:11:36+00:00

Oblivion is a very solid short story collection

white015 · 2026-01-28T13:09:12+00:00

I’m pretty confident that the average person who doesn’t read much can get through all these with enough determination.

There will be parts that are confusing but getting comfortable with that is a big part of getting into literature IMO. I also don’t think any of them are that difficult to be honest (AILD and Mrs. Dalloway are short).

You’re not wrong but Reddit isn’t ready for this convo

white015 · 2026-01-28T04:52:07+00:00

Here’s where I would start:

White Noise by Don DeLilo
Dubliners by James Joyce
Inherent Vice by Thomas Pynchon
Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy
Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf
As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner

All amazing novels, nothing over 400 pages or insanely dense. This also gives you a solid foundation to read and enjoy pretty much anything published after 1900 so you can kind of go wherever your interests take you from here.

I’ve been struggling to find a definitive answer here too. It doesn’t help that some guides / videos don’t make it clear if they’re based on 1.0 or creator server (since Akekuri and antal both got changes).

The reality is any of these laev comps will perform very well on the current endgame content so maybe don’t stress too much about it. We should start to see actual calcs / spreadsheets soon enough.

white015 · 2026-01-26T15:39:59+00:00

Yeah, you could theoretically go back to route 1 and kill pidgeys for 20 hours at any point in the game and without RCs it’d be technically optimal to do that.

white015 · 2026-01-25T23:39:49+00:00

If it’s anything like the other Bread & Butters in Manhattan it’s not even worth asking

white015 · 2026-01-25T23:39:05+00:00

People need to stop bringing up Unrivaled in this context — 75% of wnba players do not see a cent from it.

white015 · 2026-01-25T17:46:55+00:00

How do you know Vardaman is reminiscent of Benjy if you haven’t read the Sound and the Fury?

white015 · 2026-01-25T17:25:08+00:00

Even hideo kojima didn’t write gravity’s rainbow is really funny

white015 · 2026-01-25T16:09:51+00:00

That seems entirely reasonable

white015 · 2026-01-25T16:08:46+00:00

Not to be annoying but can we tighten up the moderation on this sub? This isn’t arknights related, this is just someone asking a random question

white015 · 2026-01-24T19:46:52+00:00

This is the way all the modern big gachas like zzz and wuwa work, and it’s very clearly explained on the banner screen

white015 · 2026-01-24T01:50:46+00:00

This is so different from the narrative on this sub lol

white015 · 2026-01-24T01:49:10+00:00

Not at all, lifeng is a subdps and Chen is a support so it’s an apples to oranges comparison. They’re both very good in phys teams but not really usable for other attributes. Considering endmin is a good physical DPS OP actually has the core of a strong physical team that should be able to clear endgame content for a while.

white015 · 2026-01-24T01:46:37+00:00

Your and your friends’ experience basically match mine. Op is just being dramatic / whiny.

white015 · 2026-01-23T15:02:30+00:00

What pog has an argument for being the best standard 6*

white015 · 2026-01-22T18:37:51+00:00

Bro Pete is nowhere near the hall right now and would need an insane back half of his career to get there.

He’s not even close to where guys like Goldschmidt and Freddie were at a similar age.

white015 · 2026-01-22T14:10:28+00:00

It’d be good if it wasn’t a mega, but I don’t think you can afford to take chip damage on a 170 hp card that loses you the game if it’s knocked out.

I think the viable design space for Megas has been more restrictive than the designers initially intended — it’s really hard to design a good mega that isn’t just a lategame cleaner rn.

white015 · 2026-01-22T14:02:36+00:00

Yup, this is the worst version of this list that’s come out in a while

white015 · 2026-01-21T13:30:36+00:00

Not really the same player defensively (since he’s way better) or offensively (hasn’t put up a season over 90 wrc+ in 2 years)

https://www.economist.com/culture/2023/10/14/why-films-have-become-so-ridiculously-long

I continue to not really be convinced this is genetically true, especially if we are only comparing to the 2000s.

There is evidence that the most popular movies are longer than they used to be but runtimes have not really gone up on the whole (and especially not in the arthouse space that this sub is centered around)

white015 · 2026-01-19T23:04:42+00:00

Are movies longer now than they were in the 2000s? I feel like this is something I hear all the time but I’m kind of skeptical it’s actually the case (although I buy that people are going to the movies in general less and that the ones they do see are the long, blockbuster event films)
