u/Kittycountess

I was watching Jordy's stream of Ron and Amber reacting to Shaped by the Algorithm. Emily was in the chat stirring up trouble and they got to the part about Gracie. Ron kept provoking Amber, asking if this was the cat she let out, and Amber was giving him the same spiel about their roommate being messy and leaving the apartment door open at odd hours when Ron shut down the stream and said he didn't want to do this anymore because he was disgusted with Amber. He outright said, "You did something to that cat and now you're making excuses." Jordy stopped reacting at that point and said it was all scripted and Ron wanted to have an excuse to end the stream because Amber was fed up with Emily. Still, it was a very odd way to do it. Even in the LCU, the cats were a red line for Amber. She would play along with other things but as soon as someone mentioned the cats she would flip and call Keem. Did Ron just step in it and do an oopsie or did they script this part too and desperate-for-doordash Amber agreed to it?

It could be the dog, or his voice, or the fact that he is one of the few characters who wears weather appropriate clothing and looks like the male version of Princess Mononoke in it, but I love everything about his character. I didn't expect to favor a medium size male since my interest largely skews toward tall males and medium females. But he is so unique and likable that I think I might have to add him to the roster of my Genshin favs next to Flins, Furina, and Thoma.

I lost my 50/50 on Odette‘s banner but luckily I got C6 Alyosha as a result. I do have C1 Yae. Am I correct to assume him+Odette+Yae+Sandrone is the most cracked Stellar Conduct team in the game rn?

My ultimate goal for Flins is to C6 him. I thought I could do it over multiple reruns but the lineup for Snezhnaya looks packed and there are so many characters from Nod Krai still waiting for their rerun. After this patch, I doubt he'd comes back anytime soon. I'm at C3 and have three more wishes to go, which is a lot if I lose my 50/50 😭. What should I do? Should I go for C4 and hope for future reruns, or go broke and get his C6 because there won't be any for a long long time?

It's sometimes fascinating to listen to Amber talk, like a case study in psychology they show students in a class. In this latest TikTok she posted, she spent 4 minutes making excuses for why she gained weight. It was a showcase of how Amber contradicts herself while trying to control the narrative. Here's just one example:

>Amber: "I gained because I did the infinity loop and my edemas got swollen. But don't get me wrong, I love doing it."

She wants to blame the infinity loop exercises for her weight gain but also remind us how much of a fitness nut she is now.

>Amber: "It almost doesn't feel like exercise, but don't get me wrong, it gets the blood a-pumping and my heart racing."

Again, acting like the fitness nut but immediately catching herself because she also doesn't want it to sound like she is having too much fun and not suffering for her journey.

>Amber: "It makes me sweat, even though I don't sweat at all. I don't know why. But this makes me feel like I'm sweating."

Again, she really wants to prove to us how big of a challenge these ten minute gyrations are, but she also has this narrative that she doesn't sweat, probably to prove she doesn't smell either.

This is just one line of dialogue she posted in one video. I've seen her do this tons of time over the years, saying something to prove one part of the narrative, seeing how it contradicts another part of the narrative and course correcting. I'm surprised none of the reaction channels have caught on to it and clocked her on it.

The dash button on the PS5 controller is mapped to R1, which seems to have more resistance than the face buttons, so it's really hard to tap it quickly. When I try to do the CDC combo, half of my dashes shoot her forward. I don't want to remap the buttons because my muscle memory is used to how they are now. Is there a way around this without it? Did anyone find a tactic to hit that bumper button in a way that would consistently register as a tap and not a press?

Please no "Haha, skill issue!!! I can do it in my sleep..."comments. I know some of you are gods at playing this game. I am not, and would like to hear some useful tips.

I don't consider myself a Lohen main, but I was planning to pull for him even when people were speculating he'd be on the standard banner. The reason was two fold: a) I am a female mini-whale who pulls for every male character to show Hoyo they are profitable and that they would release more of them, and b) because I needed Mona C4 for my free standard pull and couldn't use it on Lohen. My only regret was not being able to pull for his weapon if he went to standard because it would no longer show up on his rerun, which is where I usually pull for weapons.

Long story short, I'm actually happy he is a limited character because now I could get his weapon on his rerun. Others however are freaking out and saying it's bad that he won't be free because he has an expensive team for below meta damage and is being released in a low-primogem patch right before Snezhnaya. I want to know what you guys think. Are you satisfied with this turn of evens? Do you think Stellar reactions might open more team comps for him? Do any of you have Skirk and are still pulling for him?
