    Yeah, well, was trying to get more Sucrose dupes and got Klee on a single pull (that I shouldn't be doing anyway, always save for x10).

    Klee is really disadvantaged on steep uphill terrain, like...all over Liyue. But I did give her a fully-refined Otherworldly Story, which is a weaker catalyst than what I have on Sucrose, but at least Klee heals herself pretty much constantly while generating tons of energy orbs.

    Congrats!!!!

    She is difficult as fuck to use, but very strong when used well. Also, her design and animation alone make her worth using as your main character during exploration, not to mention she can see specialties. She can also break rocks despite being a mage, negating the need for a claymore user.

    In battle, Klee is exclusively for breaking shields and barriers and killing ice shit. I have her at level 60 and she meshes very well with Keqing, who is shit at breaking shields. Overloaded is also easy to pull off when you fill the area with flames.

    You can draw singles. It will still give you a guaranteed 4 star when you total 10 single draws.

    finally beat Hades. 1st time, i think 68th run? turns out the average might be half that.
    It's a really great game, and the plot is still unfolding.

    I'm playing Horizon Zero Dawn right now on PC.

    This game would be quite difficult with a controller IMO. Critically hitting stuff while moving would be impossible. I get why people used to freeze robots then unload triple-shots into the weak points.

    On PC though it becomes more managable. I'm playing on the Very Hard setting.

    Robots by themselves are okay, but the hardest part is that even most upper tier monsters still come in groups of 2 or 3. I dislike "group boss fights" in general because I can't keep evade damage in these scenarios.

    So I went ahead and learned to corrupt/override machines. Now at least one machine fights for me and I just watch it unfold.

    So late into the game with Horizon, but I'm glad you get to experience it now. Do you have a PS4/5?

    I have a PS4. I don't think I'll get a PS5 for another year or so. I initially regretted not preordering a PS5 after cyberpunk got delayed and ruining my holiday plans, but remembered that I still have games to play (Like Horizon, Witcher 3, Nier Automata, Jedi Knight Fallen Order, Darksouls 2-3, Bloodbourne....) so I guess I'll wait for a sale.

    I think I actually have a console version of HZD as well, but once I learned that it was getting a PC version I put it off so I could aim with a mouse.

    So it turns out that I am not using Corruption nearly as much as I thought I would. It doesn't last very long so I just override them. It's easy enough because rolling is silent, so rolling up to someone without cover is fine as long as you're out of line of sight.

    Besides tear arrows for dislodging critical parts (mainly enemy weapons) and Hardpoint arrows for smaller/faster dudes, my go-to for big boy slaying is ropecaster (modded for maximum handling) and blast sling (modded for damage).

    Using harvester arrows against corpses is slightly buggy at times but works for the most part.

    Alright, finished Horizon Zero Dawn.

    Very good game overall. Not as good as Ghost of Tsushima I'd say.

    The mid game was stronger than the end game. Maybe it was the lack of challenges/discoveries or the lack of new units in the end phase.

    edit: maybe I should revise this. Combat flattenned out for sure, but that might just be combat familiarity. Story-wise, both midgame reveals and the final pre-credits scene were quite powerful. My slightly dissatisfied feeling initially probably came from immediately finishing the DLC just prior to the final mission.

    The Frozen Wild was an amazing DLC.

    I had a look around online for any figurines of any machines from this game. The only high quality, prepainted ones I found were of this Stalker and Aloy by Prime 1 Studio.

    Now if you guys don't know P1S, they make large polystone figures. As in 1/4 to 1/2 scale figures. They sell for north of 1K USD.

    I'll sit on those for a bit.. see if I want them later.

    Still playing Genshin, the new region was pretty fun to explore.
    It really feels like a "rush" when you can explore new stuff.

    So much loot, so many chests, so many secrets.

    Actually a pretty solid 6 hours or so I got from it.

    Can't wait for the new region and the new element for the traveler.

    The sword they're giving out for free as part of the event (Festering Desire), including several refinements, is possibly the best f2p sword you can get. It compares to the Skyward Blade fairly closely, even though it is a 4-star.

    I'm not drawing for this banner. I'm saving everything for the Ganyu one next year. I need that cowaki.

    I got qiqi and SRgeodude in a ten-draw last time I tried, so my pity is reset to 0. Qiqi is amazing, but geodude is a dude, so went to the trash heap.

    Same. I'd love to get a few more constellations of Sucrose. I'm at C2, but she's starts to get really good at C4. Ganyu's the next banner and I think I'm at 60 wishes.

    I mostly want Qiqi for her passive. Klee's and her local specialty radar are the most overpowered passive perks.

    You're kinda foolishly not using the male characters. They're monsters at support. Xingqui's Burst does so much damage with a fast attacker like Xiangling (who can get a very high elemental mastery). Bennet is supposedly very good for end game content, Chongyun has the best crowd control paired with Barbara), etc.

    And Tartaglia is just so damn cool.
    (I obviously support the Lumine x Tartaglia ship)

    edit:
    I mostly main these two teams:
    Ningguang, Fishcl, Klee, Barbara
    Beidou, Xiangling, Xingqui, Diona (my personal favorite four)

    If I intended to minmax, I wouldn't be playing Genshin. 99% of the reason I play gatcha games are the waifus. No doods, even if I do have several constellations for the 4 star ones you mentioned.

    My current characters, which I mix around into 2 teams depending on the content (mostly Spire):
    Keqing, Klee, Qiqi, Mona, Fischl, Xiang Ling, Diona, Barbara (just for her ult)

    Do it for the trap.

    Xingqiu is voiced by Minagawa Junko, and the overall design is extremely girly anyway.

    I hate traps, even if I like futa. Astolfo ruined Fate for me.

    Still playing it - anyone else enjoying it. Won't deny that the game is in "maintenance" mode for me until big patches and new characters hit (new area like Dragonspine for example), but I'm still enjoying it.
    Can't wait for the next story quest cinematic.

    I'm *so* waiting for "Eula" to release. Knightly woman, swift, 2h sword, amazing animations, a captain of the Mondstadt knights. Totally my type of character.

    And... this:



    at some point, they really have to re-add all the videos into the archive or something.

    I've been playing Nioh 2 again on PC.

    I played Nioh 2 using Tonfas when it first came out on PS4, and I played Nioh 1 on PC a few years ago. Nioh 2 is really a more polished version of Nioh 1. Overall easier as well, because Ki damage actually means something, and the burst counter + Yokai abilities just gives the player another option. It doesn't make the attacks any deadlier, so the game isn't any harder there.

    Tonfas were fine.

    PC has a few issues in that 120fps makes the AI on certain bosses do things faster (like spam faster), the game also goes into slow-motion at times, and you can't share character creation codes between PS4 and PC. Other than that, the DLCs have been fun to date (I've just started DLC3) and I'm playing with Fists - It's so damn fun to delete people with Beyond Infinite.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    I'm happily at the point where I can now do the Level 90 domains solo and don't need to rely on toxic co-op players (who are typlically horrible Keqing/Diluc mains) who complain about you doing 2000-4000 damage while they're usually dead in 2 minutes.

    Mostly maining C6 Ning and C4 Beidou. I have Klee, but she's at Friendship 10 so I use her less now to rotate through the others.

    Currently working on building up the severely underrated Xinyan while waiting for Rosaria (hoping for C2 there).

    I'm at a point where I feel I am done with Genshin Impact.

    I got Ganyu and Amos Bow, and then I got Hu Tao and Staff of Homa, and the other characters just feel boring to use due to how OP these two are. Even Hu Tao is annoying to use compared to Ganyu, who just charge attacks everything.

    The moment I finished 12-3 at Spire, I knew I was going to get bored of the game, and that was before I drew Hu Tao and Homa.

    You don't have to use Ganyu. Especially since you have Amos' bow. She's going to be OP, we all know she's OP with it. That's the whale's curse. Not saying you're a whale...but you have the same problem the whales do right now.

    Genshin Impact rewards technical play, unlike the overwhelming majority of gacha games. Nearly every character has some degree of optimization. A lot of the whales never learn to actually play. A lot of the youtube guides from the showcase whales are shit. They use food and the same team comp (Sucrose with a VV set, Bennett, corresponding reaction/debuff character) to post the "insane" numbers on every character. They pass around the level 20 5* Noblesse/Bolide/Gladiator sets they have with 50/200 Crit ratios. That's because the game actually has no bad characters.

    There's many 4* characters that can completely out damage a whale's C6 5*. There's a whole lot of tricks now to really excelling at play on PC. Jump canceling, dash canceling, machine-gun, Razor/Noelle dragon strike if you've got the ping for it, etc.

    I had a badly spec'd Klee at C1 when Dragonspine came out. Yet I routinely out-damaged Diluc whales on the Dragonspine co-op battles by using machine-gun Klee. I've done plenty of co-op artifact domains where I somehow carry with a Beidou or a Ning/Noelle (to be fair I do have them both at C6) after the morons die off with their 5* units.

    Sure, a 5* is drastically more powerful. Especially with a 5* weapon. And they can get a lot of people far through the content. But Genshin Impact has no bad characters. Not even Amber.

    They all play different. Quite a few of them play completely uniquely. Experimenting with team comps for fun is really enjoyable. Some of them work really nicely. A few of them don't. Some of them are god-tier and can plow through all the content. Some excel at the weekly bosses, some better on the overworld, some for Abyss, some specialize in harvesting enemy resources. Geo Supremacy is real (and I don't even have C1 Zhongli or any copy of Albedo!) and plays differently from the normal reaction-focused play. Physical builds work in varying degrees due to enemy resistances. A few even blast through anyway.

    If you're just breezing through the content with a whale-spec Ganyu, you only have yourself to blame.

    edit: My strongest team is all 4* characters. Not all of them are level 80 on WL6. They're my go-to boss slayers. One of them is a gimme, and no, she doesn't have Crescent Pike.
