  • Maybe in a world where Hu Tao either only has 4 fingers or where one of her fingers merges with her hair by awkwardly bending. Can’t really decide which it’s supposed to be.

    I guess the clothes look nice on her and Nahida? Still it only makes me wonder what the base art the ai was trained with looks like. There must be truly impressive pieces among those - probably used without OK from the artists, too. So overall I’m not impressed in the slightest.


  • Take care with the chewing fingers part, one of the cats I adopted from animal rescue is around 2 years old now (actual birthday is unknown) and he still loves to chew on my fingers and nibble on my chin to show his affection. I doubt he’ll ever grow out of it but I did at least manage to teach him to be more gentle with immediate responses of “ouch” and pulling my fingers away whenever he got too carried away and started applying too much pressure. I also immediately scratched his ears after (he loves that) with my other hand to show that I’m not angry at him. Eventually he made the connection that too much nibble-pressure is bad.

    Also thanks a ton for the update, I was wondering wether the little guy made it a couple of days ago. This really made my week. :)


  • Ich hab ein ähnliches Ergebnis, die Afterpickel sind bei mir aber auf dem letzten Platz und statt deinem ersten Ergebnis habe ich da Die PARTEI. Bin mir aber trotzdem absolut unschlüssig, wen ich wählen soll, weil ich lieber die Kombination CDU/Afterpickel/WasAuchImmer verhindern würde, als eine meiner beiden (Wahl-O-Mat unabhängigen) bevorzugten Parteien in einer Machtposition zu sehen. =/




  • I didn’t mean to imply that the community doesn’t have some good points when it comes to requests. Just that there sometimes are popular suggestions that end up hurting everyone in the long run.

    With sidequests the thing that honestly bugs me the most is that they’re not voiced. I actually wouldn’t even mind if they had the same idk 5 people voice all of them. The NPC recycling doesn’t bother me at all because that’s what irl looks like to me anyways: same faces everywhere. Screw face-blindness.



  • At least when it comes to simple things like petting random animals and certain teapot furniture. Maybe also with wishes for what character should get a costume (ranking costumes-less ones higher for variety and to give less liked characters a chance eventually) they should.

    I played an MMO before and saw how the community went ahead to ask and ruin it by demanding more and more p2w all on their own… Not that it wouldn’t have come eventually, the community feedback just sped it up considerably. So it definitely can have downsides.





  • Dance Dance Resolution? I fear a rythm game. I’m super bad at those. :( They have thankfully set the bar on those rather low in the past, still it’s far from being my preferred type of minigame. At least it seems like it’s only one out of multiple different minigames and not the main focus.

    As for rewards: I don’t need Bennett anymore but he’s definitely a top tier reward for anyone who doesn’t have him or is still missing constellations. Definitely no complaints here, Bennett needs more love. Also with the Tartaglia rerun next half it’ll enable currently Bennett-less people (who also want our favorite toy salesman - I wish all of you the best of luck, he’s so incredibly fun imo) to definitely build up international, which is very cool. The ores etc. that they usually also reward will still be very nice and useful for me.

    Having the underground map feature earlier definitely would have been helpful. Also less stuff locked behind the Aranara quest - they’re cute but holy f those quests were easily the worst of Sumeru for me. The Aranara quests were the first time I actually didn’t read all of the dialoge because all of these -nara, -bara, -tara, whatevara words made it extremely tedious to follow. As for the archon quest the time loop thingy was sort of whatever, they could have shortened it a bit without making the overall plot worse imo. It wasn’t unbearably long, just sort of rather obvious pretty quickly.

    Other than that Sumeru is easily my favorite region though. The maps are gorgeous and I honestly don’t mind the huge desert, as one half felt more like huge ruin exploration than anything else to me. The surprise inside the sandstorm from the second half is also a truly awesome area and I’m honestly sad we didn’t get any reason to go back there after the quest (like big spots of specific resources).

    So far my personal ranking from best to worst region is:

    Sumeru

    Liyue = Inazuma

    big huge empty space

    Mondstadt

    I’m really hyped about how Fontaine will turn out, I’m loving what I saw so far.


  • There’s still 10 days left for Koko, so you can still try whatever single pulls you manage to save up. People have gotten 5* in a single pull before, it’s all down to luck (of which I wish you a lot of!).

    Yelan is a really cool sidegrade to Xingqiu and they work amazingly well when paired up. But wether she’s worth it for you depends on what you want from that new hydro and your personal tastes. Hydro Archon still could be anything role-wise, so it’s not possible to say wether they’ll be better than Yelan for whatever you want or not.



  • I finally got to try this event and it’s definitely ridiculous (as event) if you don’t have at least 3 teams with all different characters build. My 3 teams are Childe National, Alhaitham Hyperbloom and Nilou bloom (Nahida is overlapping between Alhaitham and Nilou, so I used a lvl 60 Collei with random Deepwood for Alhaitham’s team instead).

    I was struggling the most with the first challenge. Nilou was the only thing I tried who was able to absolutely shred the first round - all other teams I tried made it half through at best. And I knew I needed my Childe team for round 2 or 3. Turns out my Hu Tao came in to save the day by barely being able to clear round 2. I really should try to work on improving that poor girl’s artifacts, she’s sitting on 50% crit rate and can’t seem to get more. =/

    The others challenges were comparatively a lot easier than the first one and I was able to just cycle through my 3 teams mentioned above.

    I can’t see how newer players would be able to enjoy this however, even if they somehow manage to at least get the primos. The lack of trial characters, who help in at least comfortably getting the first 2 tiers of rewards, makes it worse than it has to be.

    Overall I’d really appreciate something like this event but without rewards (!) tied to it and with customizable waves (!) either as permanent domain or for the teapot. This is generally super fun for trying different teams. It’s bad as event though because not being able to get some rewards feels shit, so it’s always going to be too hard or too easy overall. And getting all of the rewards this time is hard, especially considering that you’re never guaranteed good artifacts.


  • Yay: 50 pulls in I got Wanderer after winning a 50/50, so he’s now c1. Currently useless for how I have him geared but it’s one step closer to later constellations so it’s something I’m happy about. Another 30 pulls later I got Jean, who is now c3. Only 1 more loss to her and she can shred anemo res which is cool and might make me actually use her.

    Sadface: Only managed to get 2 copies of Faruzan during this so now she’s at c3. I really would love a c6 Faruzan but absolutely don’t want to ruin a guaranteed limited 5*, so no more pulls for me this time. I already have Kokofish from an earlier banner and I don’t want her constellations.

    Idk how to feel about this: For some weird reason 4* weapons loved to jump me this time while pulling on the character banner. Then again this means I now own an r5 Stringless - yay for Fischl I guess? If only I would use her more.
