It's not really that great an improvement on Xingqiu, provided you have a Sacrificial Sword.
E: Over Noblesse / Heart 2/2 that's any good, to be clear.
I think I have one of those swords but I’ll have to double check after work.
How do I get into someone else’s teapot (without context this question sounds insane)? It’s the last thing keeping me from a tier unlock and I have no friends in GI.

I buy 2 rocks a week from random PA people for the battlepass, I think it's bad form to buy the pets or music discs from the traveling salesman without permission.

I go into people's teapots who haven't been on in more than a couple weeks and buy their music, but otherwise yeah, leave that stuff alone.
Scraped together another 10 pull, turns gold but then the first thing I saw is Keqing, so no luck on the 50/50. However! I hit skip and the reward screen looks like this:
So that’s c6 baby! Only three banners to get there.

A wrinkle I don't think they expected to introduce with their Fireworks retcon is that if Firecrackers are meant to ward off Evil Spirits, why doesn't Chongyun - an Exorcist - use them in his moveset?

Firecrackers are for scaring them away. Chongyun's more into the eradicaction side of things, isn't he?

I knew Ganyu would feel different than other characters, but I was unprepared with how much, she's definitely going to take some getting used to. Needing burst rotations and timing as opposed to the Eula button mashing unga bunga? What is this, some kind of video game?

The thing that surprised me the most was just how slow her charged shot spam is. It feels like it is taking forever to charge one when a truck-sized enemy is running at you. Also a bit disappointed that she's nowhere near my Hu Tao in single target dps, but Hu Tao has SoH and Ganyu is using a crafted bow that's not even r5 so it's not really a fair comparison.

Ugh I hate that I rolled 7x10 so far and still no Zhong. My Xingqiu is now like c3... I guess if I can scrap together 2 more times during the event with the calendar rewards I'm sure to get him. I thought I'd have had at least one shot at Ganyu too, guess not this time.

There's a new web event "The Great Banquet of the Adepti," where you can pick up some extra primos. Here's the link.

If you’re at 70+, wouldn’t it be better to do singles?

I have her at level 40 with a level 40 4* weapon (and temporarily borrowed my not-great ATK-heavy Wanderer's Troupe artifact set from Ningguang) and she already does great damage, she can handle enemies in WL 7, so I'm excited for how much damage she'll deal once she's leveled and artifacted up. Finally got my first non-Traveler Anemo character in Sayu, too! I'm still torn on what team I'll build for her, I want to include Shenhe, so the other two slots would be I guess Mona/Sayu for freeze or Bennett/Xiangling for melt?

Took me longer than I care to admit to realize that the net cast is relative to its position when you tap the screen and not based on where you tap on the screen.

Yet another web event has started. This one has you making greeting cards. Here's the link
Finished the Helios-Forger part of Enkanomiya without any guides, felt like the difficulty of that was pretty perfect for me. Any harder and it would've pissed me off, any easier and there'd been less sense of accomplishment once I finally got it done. The whole zone is cool, I guess my biggest complaint is that every time it shows the switching animation I get disoriented and forget which way I was going for the puzzle that required the switch.
Also I need like 15 more electro sigils for the stupid bow billet to get my Ganyu's bow to r4. Almost tried to finish it now (been playing a while) but then realized I'm gritting my teeth and making growling noises every time I make a small mistake and figured it might be time to take a break. Those sigils will be there tomorrow.
Finishing the tree was a lot easier when I just made the treasure compass.
That's what I've been doing, just spam the compass every time there's nothing interesting in line of sight. It often points you towards places you can't easily get but it does cut the pointless meandering quite a bit. Not sure if I'll ever finish the tree since I'm not that much of a completionist but I want that bow billet at least.
I finished the tree easily, but I’m struggling on Ekanomiya. I finished the main questline and unlocked all the waypoints, but I’m sitting at like 60% and finding it hard to motivate to explore more. Maybe I’m just old and my eyes suck, but exploring in the dark is super annoying and watching the switching animation over and over is also annoying. I’ve got one world quest sitting in my queue and at some point I’m sure I’ll get annoyed enough to clear it out but for now I’m at a solid meh. Luckily the new survey had a bunch of options for ‘too dark’, so hopefully I’m not alone in my feedback and they go back to actually letting me see the game I’m trying to play.
Beisht isn't hard but it sure was a miserable slog. And reinforces my decision to build at least one ranged team up to deal with encounters designed to suck for melee.

I also found that having the "dead" heads keep on fighting like normal and looking just like the alive heads was a pain in the ass. Just not a very fun fight even with Ganyu/Qiqi/Zhongli/Hu Tao dream team.
But hey at least the last long cutscene for the festival itself was all warm and fuzzy with a ton of "see all these familiar characters doing stuff" fanservice. It was nice.

Happy 5 free fates day! (assuming you've logged in every day since the event started) May you get the Zhongli/Ganyu/Yae Miko savings you desire.

Work kicked my ass so hard on Saturday I didn’t have the brain bandwidth to log in and collect my gains, so I guess tomorrow is it for me and my last shot to get That Other Guy.
Feels like Keqing is getting a lot of screen time recently. That plus the new costume makes me believe the rumors of a new set to try to fix her a bit more.
Otherwise it feels sort of weird to put so much attention on the worst 5-star. I really hope so, since even with her being weak I'm always tempted to try to make her work again.

Yeah, it's probably the most universally useful set. Everyone likes more bursts, almost everyone likes more burst damage.

Nope. I got C1 Diluc. Not even angry, just surprised - it follows the very early Shenhe and was only like 25 from that!
Zhongli banners remain cursed for me, it appears.
Congrats on getting Beidou! And some other guy I guess.
