hello what are your thoughts about part 2 trailer?
THEY FUCKING GENTRIFIED US
okay real answer: 1) unlike some people i’m not particularly opposed to the idea of a new cast, especially if we get a continuation to apho on top of this 2) the aesthetic is VERY my vibe, which is refreshing because hsr is a Space Thing but really lacks that scifi aesthetic that i enjoy. it’s more fantasy that just happens to be set in space. the character with pistols in the gameplay demo in particular looked really cool 3) the new black and white logo is good because lbr the hi3 logo fucking sucks 4) the 3 pixels of the male mc we saw are…. hiiiiiiiiiii <3
okay that’s all of the things i like out of the way. anyway.
there is something so fucking sad about that ui, even if it’s from a technical standpoint pretty solid. it’s the way it’s the vibe of literally every single scifi-themed gacha that already exists. (we absolutely do need an overhaul of the valk and equipment screens though. IF THIS GOES THROUGH AND I STILL CAN’T SEARCH IN MY INVENTORY). also yeah, character designs do not feel hi3-core. no particular feelings about adult griseo but i’ve never really had much interest in her character anyway. but yeah, overall this seems like a major fuckup and i’ll be interested to see how cn reacts and how mihoyo reacts to how cn reacts
anyway can’t believe they did this shit before fixing co-op

Going through the furnishings descriptions because I'm a chronic procrastinator and what do I find but the description of 'chilled sand grilling'
"The latest edition of the matra manual contains this particular note concerning this species of desert shrub....that said they have also grown curious as to who the General Mahamatra must have consulted to improve their manuals so—"
Not them casually dropping that Cyno actively using Tighnari to make sure his colleagues don't drop dead. I have to go through them all now, that's the law.

slept on it and I'm actually really annoyed that they put all that kaeya lore in letters which we had no reason to even assume existed, after an unrelated boring dry event, with exactly 0 impact on anything.
I'm biased because kaeya is my favourite genshin character, sure, but I think it's reasonable to want backstory like that to be revealed in relation to the character it's about, rather than out of the blue with no impact on said character, any other character who knows them, the plot, the world, or anything at all.
the traveler didn't even react! this dude who's pretty high up in the governing body of an entire country is actually from the regent family of a country that was destroyed 500 years ago, and that destruction is the reason traveler lost their sibling. supposedly traveler is also something like friends with both diluc and kaeya, and yet they have no reaction to learning that the two of them got into a fight so bad that diluc hurt kaeya's eye and kaeya led diluc to believe he'd been blinded.
idk about anyone else but if I learnt something like that about people I cared about or even knew at all I'd feel something. I'd certainly have some kind of reaction (murder) if I learnt that someone I know is even remotely tied to the event that took my sibling from me and didn't mention it (though then again traveler is apparently fine with zhongli's and venti's secrecy lmao).
instead it's highly missable content no one reacts to, and when it finally becomes relevant (if it ever does), the game will just act like traveler and probably everyone else knew all along, and we'll never get anyone's reaction to any of it. outstanding writing as always.

three ways i've seen genshin players go about dealing with honkai. most of them have zero interest, or bounce off very quickly - if it's for the high levels of Anime Weird, sure, genshin has less and it's quite a barrier to breach for the first ~4 hours before it start to recess from the writing and cutscene direction. others gain a passing interest from the plot connections and shared multiverse. these are the ones who spoil the experience for themselves. they'll watch the canon animated specials or browse the wiki to gain a surface understanding: this almost always makes them bounce off, but not without envy for the quantity/density of writing and obviously superior production value. the third buckle up and give it a shot. they usually get in through word of mouth - without some support, they're likely to bounce off before the writing team changed at C7, or from the sheer Length of it all. note that the most up-to-date and comprehensive playlist recording just main chapter gameplay, dialogues, and cutscenes is currently 144 hours long: it takes longer to play yourself, and that count excludes the extra ~30 hours of canon content from the manga, elysian realm dialogues, visual novels, etc. there's dozens of hours from the worse parts of the series, too: event canon, previous games, retconned stories. you can't blame anyone for falling off honkai at this point; it's been going for seven years.
that said, many of these ones make it past the threshold. and when they do, they, without fail, become fucking obsessed. you're not going to get them to care about anything else for months. they're going to be writing weird femslash in a cave. they're going to be posting about these characters with zero dignity or restraint. they're going to date someone else they met in the fandom, and it's going to become your problem. if you're really unlucky, they might even get into the event continuity lore, or even gun girls z. and no, they're not going back to genshin. universally life-ruining experience.

Sagau reader teaching dottore how to create a god temekdifjwhsjajdjdbehfhbrainrot
Ok so.
Im going to take this as a request for my brainrot last night. This post
I do believe that reader is actually a part of mihoyos staff, and works on genshin and other games like honkai impact and tears of Themis,
And, They know how to 3D model and code. So it will be an interesting thing to teach Dottore how to make someone under him
It's like, making Dottore the god, but if he wants to make a god then sure, you will teach him how to make a god in a universe
It will definitely amuse Dottore, he really enjoys making 3d models, and since he is smart it will get him no time to learn how to code
Other than that, if the game that Dottore created became self aware, then you will be called the Gods of gods and Dottore as their god
It is just...confusing..?
Other than that you better hope you aren't giving him too much attention or others are going to drag you away from him
Headcanons:
"Truely Fascinating your grace, the power that this device holds is..amazing.."Dottore said while kissing the back of your hand
"Haha yeah it is interesting, the program you are using is named blender"
"Blender you say?"
"Correct, now use the code that I wrote on the paper so you can Run the world"
"I do not mean to insult you in anyways but, Running a world? What is that supposed to mean exactly?"
"I mean play test it"
...
"I see, so with this placed here it shoul-"
"Creatoooorrr" the children of the game ran in the room,
"Can you please teach us how to use your stuff as well? Pleaseee" klee said
Huffing in annoyance Dottore said "Don't interrupt us you little brats, get out"
"hey dont be rude to kids Dottore.",
Taken back by your words he quickly bowed his head a apologized
But eh he really didn't mean it he just didn't want you to be mad at him, so when you turnd your back at him the frown on his showed, giving the kids a sign to leave or their ass is grass
"ok back on teaching you-"
"correct"
"You see this tool right there, use that to add dots and make them a curvy object"
"mhm-"
"Aaaaaahh" a whiny venti entered the room, "Creator, please take a break it's been 20 minutes." Raiden said
"Just get out, Creator will rest whenever they want, you aren't the boss of them, archon."
"And you aren't someone higher than us archons so."
"Just stop, let's go take a break, I will teach you how to make them walk later"
