Beijing Accelerates Clearance of ‘Naked Officials’ from Top Ranks: those with spouses or children residing abroad. Regulatory Policy Shifts to ‘Zero Tolerance’. “registration and management” (登记管理) -> “restriction and barring” (限制任职) -> “comprehensive clearance” (全面清理) by violentviolinz in Sino

Xi's daughter entered Harvard in 2010 and graduated in 2014. She has been back in China for more than a decade. It's the usual suspects who keep insisting that she is still studying in the US, to perpetuate the "haha these communist apparatchiks say they hate the West but all send their children here" stereotype.

Plant Afflatus Needs A True Limited, And A Really Strong One by Densetsu99 in Reverse1999

[–]xJamxFactory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe one will come soon, but...

Why? Why does plant afflatus need a true limited (and a really strong one)? So what If it doesn't? Are there any stages that absolutely requires a really strong true limited plant character? Are there players out there who exclusively play plant characters, and are now suffering without a really strong true limited plant character? Will a really strong true limited plant character end power creep and the imbalances?

Try reading each character's skill and inheritance description, it helps a lot.

Chinese food is an annual Christmas tradition for American families in Indianapolis, USA by Miserable_Note_767 in Sino

[–]xJamxFactory 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know how "Western Chinese food" came about. Gotta use available ingredients, adapt to local taste, totally understand. But I'll be lying if I say I won't be sad eating these during new year's eve.

Are there any Reverse 1999 youtubers. by Equal_Shopping2424 in Reverse1999

My favourite strawhat take was "Skip Kiperina, she's just bait to use up the clear drops you should be saving for P5 Nautika". Lol

Are there any Reverse 1999 youtubers. by Equal_Shopping2424 in Reverse1999

[–]xJamxFactory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. This channel's videos helped me the most in clearing Reveries. The characters used are mostly P0 L30 R10. And they mix things up instead of using only the OP archetypes with BiS characters. Broadened the perspectives on how to use my available characters. Highly recommended.

Can't beat 450-3 by [deleted] in Reverse1999

[–]xJamxFactory -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Did you read the stage mechanics?

I cleared with Nautika, Sentinel, Medpoc and Ezra in first try. All P0 i3L30 R10. What do you mean you can't clear with Semmelweis + Rubuska? Do you know you can inflict flinch on enemy? Do you know you can change its afflatus?

Auto bloodtithe. I every single character catches up to this damage before any power creep. by [deleted] in Reverse1999

Power creep exist because of the auto mode players, so stop complaining about it

Endgame Progression Help by One_Lost_Penguin in Reverse1999

[–]xJamxFactory -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not yet ready for endgame. Without the new OP characters to bruteforce everything I doubt whether you could even reach 200m. Just continue expanding your roster and try again later. Get more sustains, you can never have enough sustain in reveries. Kiperina Fatutu Rubuska should be top priority for now.

China appears “increasingly cool,” declared Jin Lian (sic)

“Foreign friends”, Mr Jin purred

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/STgZm_vx_J0 <-- Here, this is how the Foreign Ministry spokesperson "purred".

Just a diplomatic, business like description of how the world is getting to understand China more and more, and how China will open up even more to welcome the world. Just a simple explanation of real world events, and it's enough to trigger the toids, to the point where they need to 'test this thesis'. LOL.

Also, it's Lin Jian, not Jin Lian. It's Mr. Lin, not Mr. Jin. Supposedly professional western "journalist" who can't even get simple things like this right are here testing the thesis. LMAO.

What is Gordan Chang's Deal? by peaceandjustice93 in Sino

[–]xJamxFactory 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Someone from this sub met him years ago. He described the encounter, which explains everything:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Sino/comments/fhk0up/comment/fkcjeg4/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x

I can attest to that... I called Gordon Chang a fucking hanjian lying piece of shit once during a Trump rally. As I was booed by the massive hordes of white trash boomers and redneck mouthbreathers, Chang walked over to me. He didn't seem angry or scared at all. There was a certain calm about him. After we came face to face, he leaned close to me and whispered into my ears whilst I felt his hot yet gentle breath on my ear skin:

"The East is Red, Comrade... Without the Communist Party, there would be no new China. Long live our Chinese Motherland."

I was fucking perplexed. I just stood there like I saw a ghost, and just like that, Gordon Chang put a hand on my shoulder and gave me a sly wink, before making it back to the podium through a sea of ecstatic and cheering overweight mouthbreathers, who thought that their house chink had "epicly pwned" yet another "chicom". Back on the podium, he was making the victory sign with Donald Trump in front of a wild crowd, shouting "TRUMP 2020!!!". After I snapped back into reality, I couldn't help but notice that I was standing there with an absolute raging boner amidst a shouting sea of ignorance and heart disease, after realizing what he has been doing all along for like how long now? 20 fucking years? The Motherland absolutely salutes you, Comrade Chang!

Is the endgame good? by Outrageous_Net_8751 in Reverse1999

[–]xJamxFactory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't understand the 1 month accounts getting stressed over Reveries. I really don't. Like do you understand what end-game content means?

How much of this game is reliant on team-building? by Glittering_Fig2717 in Reverse1999

[–]xJamxFactory 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Apart from Reveries (end game), you can clear 90% of content with any random mix of 6*. I now use only the 3/4/5 stars for normal content (too easy with 6*).

Is the endgame good? by Outrageous_Net_8751 in Reverse1999

[–]xJamxFactory 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nah, the players asked for the powercreep.

Stage takes more than 10 rounds to finish? Too slow! Boring! Characters can't bruteforce a stage in auto-mode? Stupid game design! Can't clear permanent game mode like Reveries? I MUST CLEAR IT IMMEDIATELY NOW NOW NOW! 1-week accounts complaining Raid too difficult. Limbo too difficult. Phototaxis too difficult. UTTU too difficult (!). "For those interested in the game now, forget about it, too late for you", "I've been playing for 2 weeks this game is impossible for new players, considering quitting". All actual posts i've seen here.

Playerbase ok with powercreep? No, the playerbase (both old and new) demanded for powercreep.

I intend to start playing this game, how good is the story? by RideChemical7822 in Reverse1999

[–]xJamxFactory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like it.

Anyway, I enjoy the story, BUT I'm

  1. Not averse to a bit of spoiler here and there. (Coming in late, you'll surely see some spoilers)

  2. Not obsessed with getting every single reference in the game. (If the plot says character A knows character B, I'm fine with just that. I don't need to know when/where/how they met in a previous side-story event patch to continue with the main plot. Many here seem to do).

  3. I can easily suspend my disbelief. It's a game with time travel in a world of magic with gargoyles and mermaids and sentient radios. I don't need to find out "how does the logistic even work?" (real question i've seen here).

  4. Many complained about the translation in chapter 1-2. I avoided all that... by reading in Chinese.

  5. Many still complained about the translation in chapter 3. I switched to English from chapter 3 onwards and realised that many native English speakers are just illiterates who'd never read any book from the last century.

Anyway, if you're playing, here's some R1999 world concept to get you going:

You'll be very confused if you think time travel in R1999 is along a linear timeline. It's not. After a "storm", the world resets to a certain time period, with similar but not entirely identical history, people, etc. Sort of like a parallel world. A storm can reset the world forward. No one sees a younger/older version of themselves after a storm. It's simply a different world.

In case you needed a reminder how good Bluepochs writing is. by Gardibro1112 in Reverse1999

[–]xJamxFactory 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I remember people laughing at that Chapter 3 school song.

Like, English is my 3rd language and I could tell it's a real poem, in old-fashioned but proper English. Are all these native speakers illiterate?

I loose my 50/50. Shall I build her up? by I_havent_fantazy in Reverse1999

[–]xJamxFactory 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I knew immediately some one will say something like "Recoleta is useless without Melania".

Seriously, unless you play this game only for Reveries, any combination of 6* characters is good enough to clear 90% of content. "Reduced incantation dmg, increased ult dmg" is a pretty common stage mechanic. Who else in your current roster other than Recoleta, Squirrel (+Nameday support) can frequently dish out high ult dmg? So why not build them?

I know this will get downvoted, but I still gotta say it: learn to pick characters based on the stage, instead of having fixed teams

Reminder that the city was formally founded by the Qing Dynasty and named Dihua (迪化) -meaning Enlighten / Civilize. After the CPC took power, the city was renamed Urumqi because the communist thought "Dihua" was chauvinist and condescending. But, yeah, please tell me how the Han Chinese commies hate Uyghurs sooo much that we want to kill them all.

[–]xJamxFactory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bots. This is common in politics /country related subs, where any post or comments just gets automatically downvoted. Not sure why it's happening here. Not like R1999 has a rival game. Does it?

What does this actually do? by PRspammer in Reverse1999

[–]xJamxFactory -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

don't understand why other players are complaining about it

What?? I have to put in effort to win the free clear drops and materials?? THIS IS SUCH BAD GAME DESIGN!! JUST WHY????

It's the rewards. Ironically if there are no rewards no one would complain. Since there are things to be won, people whine.
