    Well at least we didn't have to wait till the third period for the collapse this time. Happened right from the beginning.

    There were a few really lazy, sloppy...not quite turnovers, because the Knights didn't immediately get control, but like "they had the puck and the momentum and then they just kinda...lost both" in the back half of that period, and enough of them that I noticed while having the game on as background noise. That team is playing like they've already given up.

    They've been missing passes and fucking up plays all series that they were easily making the rest of the playoffs. This is just....monumentally disappointing right now.

    Yoimiya is a ton of fun. I wanted her the first time around, didn't get her and ended up saving up for her rerun to get her and the Thundering Pulse (I didn't actually expect to get it but I did want to go for /a/ 5* weapon and just got lucky). Have been using her ever since.

    I usually run her with Yelan and Xingqiu for (more) consistent vaping but she has a lot of supports that can be pretty fun. Fischl's also good for extra ammo, Yun Jin is fun for some extra speed if she's C6 (it doesn't change much but it's something) and Layla can be good for a shield as well as some Melts here and there. (Probably, my Layla isn't built yet)

    For this (miserable) abyss, I tried playing around with some different teams and built a Yoimiya Curry (Pyro+Electro+Hydro+Dendro) Team that was decidedly not great but it was a lot of fun and was just a different way to play her. Basically Yoimiya, Kuki, Xingqiu and Nahida (DMC or Collei works too), setup with Nahida/Dendro character's skill/burst, Xingqiu for his skill to make some seeds, then you switch to Yoimiya to burst and burgeon everything real quick (only like 5 cores actually do damage, which kinda sucks), switch to Kuki to use her skill, then swap back to Yoimiya and Normal attack to get the rain swords going. Kuki's ring will activate some of the cores for Hyperbloom, Yoimiya's lingering Burst mechanic will activate others for Burgeon and you can always use her skill to try and get some more cores/do more damage from hopefully vaping. Again, to disclaimer: It's not a good team but I had fun with it. (And it was about the only way I could try and figure out how to use Yae and Yoimiya for this abyss since I have both of them and the Abyss is 'supposed' to showcase them. Yae Aggravate is a lot easier to build/use for First Half.) Did not make it past 12-1-2 with it, though, had to bring in a different team for a serious run-through. Point is, playing around with her mechanics obviously strays from the optimal way to play her but it can be neat.

    I think it's more that Florida (being Florida) was relying on "everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face", and thus wasn't expecting Vegas to respond with "punch back, but harder."

    Sayu, Dori, and Noelle are all greatsword healers, or if you just wanted something you can plunge with, Bennett, Shinobu, Jean, Qiqi, Yaoyao, or Mika are also options.

    So what you're saying is no plan survives contact with the enemy?

    More that being aggressive worked when the other side wasn't expecting it, but has broken down when the other team goes "oh, you want to play knifey-spooney?"

    Vegas doesn't seem to agree with that.

    Yeah, Yoimiya is busted good but also a little bit made of paper, just be careful how vigorously you spam those fireworks when there's trouble closing in.

    To start with I want to be clear that I'm not complaining, because my wife I did it too, because the song is a fucking banger

    But how the fuck is that the song that, like, all Gen-X / Millennial hockey fans just all agreed we would all sing along to.

    Like, as a sport, apparently, we are in accord. There is a song we will play that they will cut off and we will all just keep singing it like at a concert.

    And it's All the Small Things by Blink-182

    e: apparently the Avalanche started it

    Of course I have barely been playing at all for the past 3 weeks, and haven't farmed any of his mats, but nice to know that he'll be there when I do eventually get back to this game.

    I think music theory YouTuber 12tone pointed out the reason in his video on "The Middle" - for a generation, "All The Small Things" was their introduction into what romantic love meant.

    So yeah, that tends to resonate.
