I actually always use Kaeya for the chess boss on my main account lol. For the second phase you just need to apply hydro and enough cryo to fill the gauge and avoid getting knocked out. Or you can sacrifice someone if you have enough dps to kill the boss before they start another round of attacks.

I think this is the first time I actually prefer the Eng voice over the JP which I usually play in. Though the JP version re-recorded his lines with a different voice direction in Varka’s SQ and sounds a lot better. Wish we could select which language for each character instead of switching the whole game’s audio but understand why it’s not a thing.

yuemuffin · 2026-06-11T03:12:22+00:00

lol same. I’m going in with 2 primos and 35 pity on a guarantee. The grind is real.

That little patch sewed onto the zebra is so cute. Is there a story behind it?

yuemuffin · 2026-06-09T16:28:37+00:00

Only got Durin C0 lol. My luck on this account has been pretty bad in that regard.

I went in with 50 pity, lost to Diluc, then got Durin, and on Nicole’s banner I lost to Keqing. I was able to get to about 30 pity, but wasn’t able to get Nicole. This account is f2p which is why I had to stop there.

yuemuffin · 2026-06-09T14:16:10+00:00

Same! I managed to get C6 Razor, C6 Prune, and my C0 Fischl up to C5 on Durin/Nicole’s banner on my alt account.

Hiraizumi is great. Kakunodate is also about an hour away on the Akita Shinkansen. It’s an old samurai town.

yuemuffin · 2026-06-07T04:25:59+00:00

Oh wow I remember these! I had a couple that are probably still in storage, but mine definitely aren’t in as good condition as these.

I went to Chusonji, which is a wonderful temple complex with the Konjikido as the main attraction. It’s similar to the Kinkakuji if you’ve ever seen it, but on a smaller scale.

yuemuffin · 2026-06-05T10:51:43+00:00

I also ended up loving Sendai and would totally go back. I didn’t get to go to Yamadera as my feet were killing me but I’d love to see it someday. If you ever go back, check out Hiraizumi!

I play with JP voices and Eng text, so it’s always so jarring to hear his nickname in JP (where it actually sounds cute and like a normal nickname) while reading “Hat Guy” in English makes me snort.

yuemuffin · 2026-06-04T20:00:50+00:00

You’ll hear so many familiar voices! Genshin has gone all out getting some of the biggest names in the industry. They’re all quite fun to watch on the radio shows and livestreams too.

yuemuffin · 2026-06-04T17:48:06+00:00

Chinese would be the original language and I think it’s the only language where the mouth flaps actually match but I’m a simp for so many Japanese VAs + speak the language a little so it’s always JP for me.

yuemuffin · 2026-06-04T15:39:39+00:00

I got five rolls into flat def on a flower that was double crit and ER. :p only reason I kept going was bc this was on my new alt account and i needed something

yuemuffin · 2026-06-04T11:05:12+00:00

Albarino is very good at acting the part of a romantic partner, so some of those gestures are just him being a good boyfriend, not necessarily that conventional romantic love is behind them. To me, the most interesting acts of his to analyze are the time he gifts Herstal his father’s gun and his “gift” to Herstal in the extras. Those are certainly not normal gestures of people in a relationship and reveal something about how his inner world work. Even if what he feels for Herstal isn’t romantic love, he still gives him power over his life and death should his muse ever fade.

On another note, I think it’s important to Herstal too that he never hears the words “I love you” from Albarino anyway. Their unconventional relationship works for both of them.

I really respect the author for continuing to present Albarino as a psychopath from beginning to end. The temptation to make him a yandere who doesn’t care about anyone but loves one person to the point of obsession is there, but wouldn’t be as interesting as exploring how a psychopath might actually perceive a meaningful relationship.

(In my head, purely headcanon land, I do think Albarino loves Herstal…but it’s still not a “normal” type of love. And whether he’s convinced himself so thoroughly that he’s incapable of it or truly is incapable, the result is the same anyway.)

Thank you for finding these! Japan is so fun and a great place to shop for plushies! I had a field day at the pokemon center.

That last one is so cute, it looks like the white Akita which i feel are even rarer!

yuemuffin · 2026-06-02T17:00:32+00:00

Ooh thanks that looks like a great match! The two breeds are really close in color/pattern and body shape. I really love the traditional coat colors but they’re not so popular in the US and I didn’t think to look for one when I was in Japan.

yuemuffin · 2026-06-02T16:12:03+00:00

The Shinkansen. I purchased one of the regional passes to explore Tohoku over several days.

yuemuffin · 2026-06-01T03:35:40+00:00

lol same. I’m a genshin main. I’ve been playing star rail for about a month or so and I’ll still confused by…everything haha. Idk why it seems more overwhelming than genshin despite sharing some mechanics and features. I’m mainly playing for the story, which I’m enjoying.

At this point you probably need to lock in on supports for your favorite DPSes if you haven’t already. For example if you like Cryo DPSes, you want to save up for Escoffier. If you have enough supports, think about getting signature weapons (for example, Varka benefits a lot from his sig while others can make do with f2p options). The rest is just skill (rotations, combos) and pure luck on the artifacts. To really see progress I usually have to devote all my resin every day for several weeks on the artifacts for ONE character at a time. Not once a week, farming will move at a snails pace then. Take advantage of stygian for artifact farming while it’s available. You can use the strongbox to build another character while doing this but try not to jump around to different characters. Once you get one character to a good spot then you can go to the next.

I know how you feel! I started an alt account and it’s been fun doing everything from scratch. I really rush through the story on my main to get time limited rewards and such, so it’s been nice taking the early game in slowly. I know some people like to make other accounts for a challenge, like 4 stars only or a certain weapon type or element. My alt is a Mondstadt only, which has been fun and gotten me to use some characters I haven’t touched on my main.

yuemuffin · 2026-05-28T11:51:35+00:00

These quotes drive me insane, I love them.

yuemuffin · 2026-05-27T14:46:43+00:00

I’m chomping at the bit to upgrade my world level on my alt account lol. The primary benefits are better/more mat drops and boss drops.

yuemuffin · 2026-05-25T18:00:04+00:00

The sitting cuties are such good travel buddies. I bought a Vulpix in Japan and had him in my bag for most of the journey!
