Saria

in case you forgot

Saria says "no person is illegal"

spending my sunday evening catching up on the fontaine main quest in genshin impact. i'm glad that the writers are making a principled stand by firmly establishing that being french is a sin

Zubayr doesn't need no apologems.

I think some of the funniest stuff in Arknights is when they try to justify the outfit change for an Alter unit. I haven't seen all of them, of course, but my favorites include:

Silence - "I was undergoing a clandestine covert mission for the boss of the *R&D DEPARTMENT* when another of my bosses found me and gave me a free makeover."

Skadi - "Some old guy who I helped out once gave me these clothes as a disguise from the Spanish Inquisition so I'd stand out less. No, I did not ask why he had a sultry outfit in my size just lying around."

Lava - "This is literally my cool self-insert OC's design for the movie my girlfriend wrote for me to star in. Do not steal." *bumps into a wall because of her stupid blindfold*

half life and half life 2 were incredibly innovative games at their release which shaped the entire medium of video games, but the way people act about them now is like someone coming up to you and going 'wait you haven't seen it? you HAVE to watch this movie. yeah its called Arrival of a Train its sooooo fucking amazing'

Me showing people who've never seen it Arrival of a Train.

ok thanks 👍

I've never understood the idea of rerolling your account on a gacha lol.

I've known people who spent over a week not playing the game they want to play because they were busy resetting the first 30 mins of it again and again until they pulled the character they wanted.

But like, the beginning of these games are all intentionally very easy?? To make sure you can clear it with bottom tier units?

In Arknights case it'll be a while before you get the opportunity to E2 any operators anyway by which time you'll have had opportunity to do even more pulls. The idea that you need the best unit to start out with is really so silly.

I guess if there was a limited banner running right as you're starting that you don't wanna miss out on ig? But even then like you usually get a big glut of pulls as you're doing a bunch of stuff for the first time anyway so you have pretty good odds of getting who you want unless the banner is just about to end.

it's usually a preparation for end game thing or making sure you don't start off with a bad set of high rarity characters. like, if i was starting to play Honkai Star Rail right now, I could theoretically reroll to get Sunday (a top tier support) in a small amount of pulls or if I got a bad standard character like Yanqing (who is one of the worst characters in the game). The chance of getting through all of Sunday's banner without pulling him (either by not getting enough pulls or by losing the 50/50) is not small, so rerolling can help avoid this.

In practice, I haven't played a gacha game where I thought rerolling was all that useful given the time and effort involved.

Yeah I mean I could understand doing it if I'm making an alt account or something I guess.

But if I'm playing a game for the first time I like to give it a minute before I start optimizing everything for the endgame. I enjoy the sense of discovery and wonder when you're first figuring everything out and don't know who's good and who's not and so on.

Obviously in the long run I have no objection to optimizing your account and metagaming and the like it just feels sad to dive into that immediately.

the other situation would just be to guarantee that you get the character that you want in a reasonable amount of pulls. if i were a huge Dungeon Meshi fan starting to play Arknights during the Delicious on Terra event, I could reroll my account until I get Marcille in the free ten-pull that everyone gets day 1. That's not really "optimizing for end game" since Marcille is nowhere near one of the strongest characters in the game, but it does give you the assurance that you can get your fave during the event period without having to go to pity for her.

Mhm, but that goes back to my point of "limited banner running right as you start".

You could easily spend just as much time resetting for those first 10 pull Marcille as you could playing the game to get more pulls (and presumably you're still going to play the game once you get Marcille anyway).

But yeah I guess if you got started towards the tail end of a banner or something I could see it.

I guess my biggest thing is just that it sounds like a miserable way to start a game lol, spending the first big chunk of time with it resetting and repeating dull tutorials until they let you pull. But I guess other people might have more tolerance for that than I do.
