@HomuLabs what’s your deck?

Ok... This new scenario is absolutely bonkers. 😅👀 #umamusume

I... I... I give up! 🤦‍♂️

My crystals are ready for Kitasan Black's banner. Can we 5 star her?! 👀

Friendly reminder that Bronie's real name is BRONYA. Also, the name of her parents is the same as HI3's Bronya. If you still doubt that she's a Bronya variant... IDK what else to tell you...

Exploring the Honkai Universe video series will be shortly resumed. The third video already entered the editing process.

Saying that "the game will EoS" is just exaggerated fear mongering that does nothing to help the conversation and only hurts the game unnecessarily by spreading fear, misinformation, and actually stopping new players interested to try the game or returnees to come back because "the game is dead anyways". On the other hand, acknowledging that the game isn't in the best condition and pointing out that HoYo slowed down the production of content considerably is fine. The game needs discussion around it's strong and weak points. It's fine to say that "HI3 is not in the best state." And although the content we get is good, it feels like we're moving at a snail's pace and I would love more from the game and the devs. You can acknowledge the shortcomings of a game and the fact that it's in a declining state. At the same time, you can also give actual constrictive criticism and feedback. Heck, it's alright to even quit the game if you are unsatisfied with the state its in. But... just yelling EoS does nothing productive or beneficial. Quite the contrary. If someone is going to kill this game, it's gonna be its own community.

Don't mind them. This person is very clearly being dishonest with their remark. I never said anything about Sentinels and the Exostrider being the same thing. All I did was point out that, since Lahai Roi doesn't have a Sentinel, from a story perspective - Aemeath is this region's "sentinel resonator". This is purely a comparison from a story perspective and marketing perspective. Has nothing to do with lore. It is very clear that Aemeath is supposed to be the equivalent of Jinhsi and Carte, and interpreting my words in any other way just shows unnecessary vitriol and disingenuousness. I encountered lots of people like this in gacha communities, to the point that I don't even bother explaining myself to them. Might as well talk to a wall.

@Xyzencross @HomuLabs I mean in this post. Bcs before we play the story, most people thought Exo in Lahairoi is something similar to Sentinels. And Homu said bcs of that he knew the story will be a banger. Its a feeling he had before doing the story.

Just finished the 3.1 MSQ for Wuthering Waves. I might still be under the influence of recency bias, but I think this was the best story quest in the game. I had a feeling that it will be a banger. Aemeath is the Extrostrider's Resonator, which makes her the equivalent of Jinhsi and Cartethyia for Lahai-Roi. The story in the patches featuring the Sentinel Resonator always was a banger, but I feel like they went one step above for Aemeath. My criticism for the 3.0 MSQ was that it felt very removed from what a regional main story should be, and focused too much on a single character. It wasn't an MSQ, it was a character quest presented as an MSQ. When it comes to Aemeath, her story is tied to the Exostrider and to Lahai-Roi itself, so I knew all along that her story will feel a lot more connected to the region. I appreciated that they had Lucilla and Sigrika make an appearance, and even Luke joining us part way though the journey was nice. (I loved his gameplay. I am cooked since I didn't plan to pull for him, but man... He is just so much fun to play) I also don't mind that the quest focused only on Rover and Aemeath since they had a very close and personal relationship. It made sense that others wouldn't be involved. I also find it interesting that - with the exception of a few characters like Lynae and Sigrika - most playable character in Lahai Roi either have a relationship with past Rover, or know their true identity. I still hope that Kuro will take in the feedback from 3.0 into account, and make the cast play a bigger role and interact more in the main story. Just because 3.1 was a banger, that doesn't mean that the criticism from the 3.0 story isn't valid anymore. In fact, it's even more important to voice our concerns since it's clear that they are capable of writing good stories and create great characters. Another factor that really made me love this quest was the focus on Rover. This, together with the 2.5 quest, are some of the rare exception where Rover feels like an actual character who is part of the world rather than a self insert for the player meant to be glazed by the characters. I loved that we got to learn more about their past, explore their loneliness, their struggles, and their relationship with Aemeath - who is basically their daughter. Besides Rover, we also got a lot of lore about the Sentinels, Threnodians, and the Lament in general. Either way, phenomenal quest, phenomenal characters, and I really hope that we will be able to bring Aemeath back from the Stridergate! This was the type of experience that makes me feel glad that I play WuWa. Game's far for perfect, but has some incredible moments. Also, the music and cinematography were top notch. It's clear that Kuro keeps improving from patch to patch in this department. Not many gacha games focus on cinematography... actually none do from the ones I play except WuWa, which is a shame because it does make the story feel more polished and enjoyable. Although I understand why, I just wish that people wouldn't be so quick to write off the story and the characters as "bad", "weak", or "shallow", just because of the Rover pandering. #WutheringWaves #Aemeath

After about 2 weeks of playing with the free version of DaVinci Resolve, I decided to fully commit to it and bought the studio version. This editing tool is really amazing. After being a Premiere-only for years, I didn't expect to like it as much. I feel like a little kid exploring a new world all over again. This tradition reignited my passion for editing. (That, and the fact that my back is much better and I can sit and work for longer) You'll notice a jump in editing quality on my videos as well. I'm also thinking about offering editing services to other CCs just because I want to edit and experiment more with it. So, if you need an editor, hmu! After more than 10 years, I can finally say goodbye to Adobe and their absurdly high monthly fees. I'm free! 😅

Of course she has a bounty... Why wouldn't she?! 🤨

@HLerr35687 2.5 is the only one that it's on a similar level for me.

@HomuLabs The second half was amazing, but overall 7/10 at best. 2.2, 2.4, 2.5 and 2.7 were way better

That's the point, it didn't. Instead of introducing us to the world and characters, we focused on Lynae's past and trauma just for her to be absent in 3.1. It barely set up anything for 3.1. The only relevant thing for 3.1 in 3.0 was retrieving the Exostrider's reactor... which happened at the end of Mornye's story. Don't get me wrong, I like Lynae and her story, but that should have been a character quest. 2.0 did a much better job at introducing us to Rinascita, and set up the overarching plot, world building, and antagonists. And that's because they didn't try to shove the character stories into our face because we still had character quests at that point, so the story could focus on the region itself and the ensemble of chatterers. I made an entire video about my opinion on 3.0's story. You can watch it here if you want to see more of my points. Here is a link: youtu.be/x8T09amHn-c

@HomuLabs 3.0 is just setting up for 3.1 so idk why ppl hate it so much. Its meant to just introduce the world of lahai roi to the players. Ppl hated how 1.0 was an info dump but now ppl want it to be info dump? I don't get it.
