I hate the modern internet, I'm getting a fucking headache. I hate trying to find art archives or complete comics and everything is linked back to a dead mega upload or imgr file. I hate trying to find a specific artist from 10's deviantart or tumblr but the search functions and purges have made it near impossible to find anything. I hate having pintrest be one of the most reliable sources for finding tagged archived art even though it's always posted with zero sources or the ability to find more than one from a set.

Every day I miss how open and easy and creative and energetic those years were. Most of the time when I talk to someone about the fan culture of 2004 - 2018 they immediately start talking about how cutthroat the social scene was as if that was entirely unique to the time and place and as if it was unavoidable. I don't know where to find anything on the internet anymore and it kind of feels like the infrastructure that allowed that amount of art and writing to flow just doesn't exist anymore.

It was bittersweet to look through forums that had only a handful of new posts since 2012 but at least I could still read them. Some of them I even joined and talked with the last few old guard that still checked it every week. But when it comes to art, writing, and comics of the era I can barely find the abandoned accounts. Other people have put the whole "dead internet" talk in better words with the whole funneling the whole of internet activity through a handful of app services but this is personal to me. It is genuinely depressing to see things get so much worse in so many ways in such a short amount of time.

I genuinely think I need to start building a server and learning how to mass archive & then host data for others because I'm in part terrified of how many gigabytes of work we've already lost to the either. It might be fan work and silly oc's but people poured their heart & soul, skills & hours into these things that shouldn't be deleted or made inaccessible because a boardroom decided making internal search engines pull up weighted results from a fixed time frame instead of just a list of all results was somehow better for revenue.

Hello Fa!!! I'm running out of greetings haha I had quite a good day, hope you are doing ok too and yeah we're kinda like pen pals lol

It's sad that you had so little luck with your pulls, hope is shining your way now, right? It'll take some time, but your team is going to become just perfect for you!

I SEE I really missed that about the guaranteed 5-star in the poor reading i made on the mechanics lol It's great news, it gives a sense of relief. The system isn't even that bad

I'd say "strive for your dreams" since you seem to like Xinyan so much and she must be of great help too!

I've also been playing too much. Of course, breaks are so important! I'll take some time away in the future too

The events are something I'm very interested in, I want to know how they are like. I guess, after you've cleared the game for now, there must be not much to do so it must be good for you!

Hm my type of weapon is the big sword too, it used to be the normal sword, but like you said they do less damage than the big ones, so yeah. There must be other weapons that I don't know about, so I can't be a good judge on the matter, I can only say that spear users are great too, they're fast and I wish I had one :'). I complained about the bows but if I was skilled they'd be one of my favorite weapons to use!

Hey, dear anon!! I don’t even try, for me nothing can be as good as the same old “hey” xD yep, totally pen pals now!! This is so nice kkkkk 

Now that I think about it, I guess we all free to play are kinda unlucky overall, because we can’t whale our way through the game like content creators do, so maybe we all feel a little bit unlucky don’t we? My sister says that the only lucky moment to her is Childe, Razor, and Qiqi, in all those months kkkkkkk she does have more 5 stars than me. 

I think that five-star thing was added after patch 1.1... so in theory, it started with Childe’s banner. It does give us a sense of relief at some extend, but at the same time it’s hold-back for sure, because now that I know, I will have to use mine very wisely. 

But yeah, the gacha is a challenge and at the same time the worst thing about the game, together with the resing system. 

Yeah!! I will go for my dreams, cuz actually the thing about that game is finding the character that really suits us best and Xinyan has been a real-life safer for me overall because Fischl is a such paper-thin character to use as dps!! And btw, since Xinyan is a 4 star she will be added to the main banner!! So the chance to get more Xinyan will never end, differently from Zhongli. 

Well, you haven’t been playing the current event? The flying around course? You still have time to do the courses btw, it’s a fairly easy event but it’s a such cool challenge!! 

Yes, the events are basically what I can do :’) that and farming. If I knew, I would’ve slowed down with the history quests.  

For me, and like, I have no way to prove it or saw another ppl talking about it, for me I think that spear users are the medium ground between big sword users and small sword users, because they retain a great deal of physical damage, but don’t lose any speed. 

That’s actually why I was drawn to Zhongli and Xiao!! Because spear users to me are a mix of two great types of weapons and still get to be no unique, faster and cooler!! xD 

Yeah, I can feel the bow-thing too, I actually like very much bow users, it’s not a mistake that my main dps right now is my Fischl!! Maybe they can fix the aiming system in the future, we can’t ever forget that Genshin is a game that is still being polished, so things can change and will change to make the game better.
