    Tiktok is very much not for me. I only experience it through youtube reaction/compilation videos and they are usually just abrasive. FB I go on maybe once every two days to check the hobby groups I'm in or enjoy local community group drama.

    I started using instagram and I go on there every day and every time I get mad at how shit it is. When you search for a hashtag or whatever you can't view posts chronologically, only by most likes, so you see the same shit every time. And there's no way to view posts you've previously liked that I can find? So it's impossible to re-find a specific post you saw. It's almost impressive how fucking bad the user experience of almost all social media is.

    It's nice that the 4* characters get theirs for free if you do their event, but the 5* ones are pretty egregious to me. I can't imagine paying for any of their costumes. But I'm super happy with Fischl's. It's actually kinda weird to see her normal outfit now, since I'm so used to the event one.

    Speaking of, I'm currently workshopping a team with Fischl and Furina, and it's surprisingly difficult. The two work really well together, but filling out the rest of the team is... really challenging. There's both so many options, and yet very limited options, as healers conflict with what the team wants to do. And alas, I don't have Kokomi, who very obviously would be the ideal character to use.

    Yeah, Kokomi remains a glaring gap in my roster for easy teambuilding. Jean does play well with Furina as long as you can keep the fight in her burst, since you get VV shred, party healing, and constant healing ticks to build Fanfare.

    Jean has been my go-to healer, yeah. The tricky thing then is who the on-field character should be. I don't think a pyro, cryo, or geo character makes any sense. Dendro's kinda weird because swirls become difficult once catalyze sticks, and Fischl's not great at hyperbloom. So for me that pretty much leaves... an electro character like Keqing or Cyno, who would really notice the lack of dendro in the team. Or Xiao, who wants a shield. Or Ayato, who would have too much downtime.

    Really feels like I'm missing something to put together a cohesive team, but I suppose the electro options are at worst fine.

    I like this kit more than I expected. Tons of stickers, but it actually looks quite nice once it's all done and panel lined. A nice bonus is that it has the same connection point for the backpack as the HG, so it can use the flight pack as well.

    Are there any 4 star units that are considered like, the pretty good-est ones that you should promote to elite ranks first, when you still don't have the dualchips to be promoting the 5 and 6 stars that you actually want?

    The thing about great 4 stars is that they're usually great at E1. Kind of rare for a good 4 star to NEED E2. That having been said, the best 4 stars are:
    -Myrtle (basically one of the best units in the game)
    -Gummy
    -Perfumer
    -Vigna
    -Click
    -Ethan
    -Gravel
    -Cuora
    -Jaye

    Out of those, Click is the best E2.

    Edit: Correction, to get the blazing DP generation speed Myrtle is best known for, it IS necessary to bring her to E2 to train the skill, so in that way, she's the most important E2 of the lot. This is unusual, as usually you E2 for a new skill, new or improved talent, or the stats. Myrtle doesn't need any of those things, just access to skill training.

    That is one of the problems I have I want the Tie Fighter in 1/350 .
    There are no hobby stores on this side of town [and few others carrying models anymore} So the only place I can go is online and the price is??? If I go to round2corp They have a link to autoworld for it being the usual rate on ebay of 85 The bird of prey on the same site is 38

    I have the reliant and defiant models I got at work but I was going to rename them

    It seems they got rid of the resin kit for the 1/350 Klingon d7 and did a new kit with a new light kit and photoetch for it

    The Oberth-class’s design baffles me in ways I cannot quite articulate.

    It’s like someone went “well we want it to look close enough to a Constitution Class, but also very not” and someone went “what if we cut out the neck?” And then realized you still had to have the saucer section connect to the engineering decks somehow and then you got… that

    I assumed that the engineering section was integrated into the primary hull since it's got that blocky bit sticking out the back with the engines on it.
    Then the secondary hull would be an easily swappable module that could be exchanged for whatever the mission at hand needed.

    Which is a lot of words to say "Yeah, the design doesn't make sense".

    I'm not gonna figure out which Operators are in the Kernel or not, but good Ops to shoot for, if they're there:
    -Bagpipe (Vanguard, high DPS, low cost)
    -Surtr (Guard, ground only DPS)
    -SilverAsh or Mylnar (Guards, burst DPS in a wide area)
    -Blaze or Gavial Alter (Guard, Multi-block/multi-attack)
    -Mountain (Guard, High Defense, self heal, line holding)
    -Exusiai (Sniper, Burst Anti-air)
    -Ch'en Alter (Sniper, Close range DPS + Slow)
    -Saria (Defender, Healing)
    -Hoshiguma or Mudrock (Defender, self reliant, line holding)
    -Kal'tsit (Medic, But actually a Summoner)
    -Eyjafjalla or Goldenglow (Casters, Very high DPS)
    -Skadi Alter (Supporter, Heal + attack buff in wide area)
    -Suzuran (Supporter, Slow + weaken enemy)

    Edit: I forgot, Thorns and Lappland are super good too. Guards that fight with range and close up. Thorns poisons and self heals, Lappland hits with Silence, so they're actually competitive with each other.

    Isn't Zhongli the Geo Dragon? The electro dragon I thought is the one whose bones are spread all over Inazuma, so uh... he's dead. But who cares? They can bring back anyone for any dumb magic/time travel reason. "Oh, when we destroyed the Electro Gnosis it brought the dragon back to life!"
