How in the gently caress do I beat Yae Miko's flame trial thing? It's insanely frustrating and I'm bad at the game in general.

This doesn't speak well of me, but the new boss being called a tulpa makes me think of those weirdos who kept trying to manifest My Little Pony characters with the power of their minds.

I know it's a legit concept in Buddhism, but that's how I first of heard of it.

I gave this game a shot because I ended up really enjoying Star Rail, which was the first gacha game I’ve ever played. There are many questions I plan on asking over the next few days but I’ll start with the most important one.

I just unlocked the teapot and my weekly battle pass objective says I need to buy 2 items from someone else’s tea house. Do they have to be online at the same time as me for that to happen, or can I just friend someone and raid their teapot at my leisure?

My friend code is 669832814

Request sent.

I'm 616646832 if anyone else wants to friend me and see my rather disappointing teapot.

Man, everything happening in Sumeru could've been solved by one person with insomnia and a coffee grinder. Seriously, one undergrad student with a paper due the next day could've rumbled all of this.

The game is not ever difficult enough to make any character a "Must Pull". People have been showing off with low power characters since the beginning of the game. The main big difference is in the time & effort required to get to that point. Someone like Hu Tao, Ganyu, or Neuvilette require was less farming and optimizing to make big numbers than someone like Diluc.

Says you. D'you know how many wishes it took to even get Ganyu in the first place?

Christ I hate Interlude Chapter 2. Let's trap the player in a single cave with endless repetitive dialogue scenes and almost no gameplay. Not even Max Mittelman can keep me from getting annoyed.

Still, the domain with the light puzzle was genuinely neat and Ushi is cute af.

Man that Freminet event had jarring ending. Haha we're doing a fun lighthearted fantasy thing to help a sick kid! Oops turns out the kid killed himself and the mom's insane! It goes from Make-a-Wish Foundation to The Traveler Does Not Dream of Water Imp Kingdoms in seconds.

Oh well, I got Freminet and a cool clockwork penguin out of the deal so whatever.

my favorite thing about sara is that there's a generic npc kujou clan member who is in raiden, kazuha, *and* ayato's story quests, and sara is mentioned in none of them

Sara was off doing the important work of not quite negotiating a peace treaty with Watatsumi Island.
