In other news, playing more ZZZ and quite enjoying it. Been going through the various quests and Battle quests to clear the crazy backlog of quests I have accumulates. Tried out Claret/Roxy/Rina in Hollow zero for the first time and that team is ridiculously funn! #RaePlaysZenlessZoneZero

The only annoying part I've had so far would be operation Bagel gameplay mode because it uses a different gear scheme and the gear decays after use which is a mechanic that I dislike and isn't my cup of tea. #RaePlaysZenlessZoneZero

I think it's that part specifically that I don't like because the Arknights:Endfield equivalent, etchspace salvage I like playing and is a similar extraction type mode but it's just my characters dropped into this mode and you gotta be smart against the time limit.

What a fascinating read. Been a wild few days on the internet.

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday OndΕ™ej SurΓ½ saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

shitposts aside, this one is serious, my loves: if you’re just waking up and you have any service online running PHP 5.4 to latest, you need to take it down RIGHT NOW and don’t put it back online until after it’s patched absolutely catastrophic vulnerability dropped in the middle of the night

Thoughts on Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War Ep 9 (The Blade): It was well worth the wait! That was extraordinary, beautiful, magnificent. I thoroughly enjoyed it! It felt like the episode was long and also fast at the same time! Created a real stakes scenario. Can't wait for next week!

Finished 1.4 in ZenlessZoneZero (Sons of Calydon) and it was enjoyable. Didn't expect the whole additional motivation reveal for Belle and Wise but good to know. #RaePlaysZZZ

Also finished the Pinball Knight event which was nice and quaint. My HSR brain be going " ack, I'm hearing Nihilux and not Remielle" when she popped up. Hopefully this isn't a problem when I get to 3.1 story... Eventually.

Should have know it was a getting sucked in kinda time... Finally progressing far enough in Wuling that I could get get reliable Xiranite production going and tune the factory more....aand there went a couple of hours πŸ˜…πŸ«

Will say that I am continuing to enjoy Wuling and TangTang's character as I get further in. Glad I managed to pull her when she was initially released! #RaePlaysEndfield

While playing the Planarcadia story and listening to other creators play it while doing work, I've definitely noticed that Nihilux and ole Sampo enunciate similarly. Coincidence or intended easter egg that is meant to give something away? πŸ€” Either way Amber Lee Connors nails it! #RaePondersHSR

IMO The only thing worse than someone taking a screenshot and pasting it in word doc and then sending that is if they printed the screenshot out first and then scanned it back in in black and white and then did the above ( and that did happen about a decade ago...) First world work problems I guess.

Aaand we interrupt our Nostalgia fest because Honkai Star Rail: 4.6 was Released Sunday (I'm a bit late on Posting this...) I haven't had this many Squirrel moments in a while... But now that I've finished 4.6 I can say that was a very enjoyable and lore heavy patch and can't wait for 4.7!

Rae-sing the dead πŸŽƒ@raenbow.xyz

And now we interrupt our current hyperfixation (Arknights:Endfield) for some Nostalgia...That being starting a new playthrough of Wild Arms 2. I haven't play this game since I was a teenager and have some fond memories of both Wild Arms 2 and 3. Weeee!

On the HSR Front, Pearl's Trailers have been great! They've shown her journey of self trying to understand Art and showing what Preservation means to her in saving the residents of Planarcadia. The music was on point! Looking forward to playing 4.6 and here's hoping my pulls go well!

@raenbow.xyz

Getting into Wuling I think I've figured out why I'm admiring the scenery. Exploring in Arknights:Endfield is giving me the same feelings as when I was discovering areas and working through Guild Wars 2 area's. GW2 has some beautiful area's and Wuling is definitely beautiful.

Rae-sing the dead πŸŽƒ@raenbow.xyz

Lately, when I sit down to play Arknights:Endfield, I just have to stop and admire and enjoy the scenery, the sound track and the attention to detail they've put into this game. Maybe that's partially why it's taking me so long to do anything, I'm just admiring everything....

Arknights:Endfield update. I Finished Gilberta and Yvonne's Operator Quests and have moved into Wuling! Thus far I've enjoyed every quest I've done. Gilberta's Operator quest was cute and whimsical at times but also showed a part of Gilberta that was unsure and finally found her way at the end.

Rae-sing the dead πŸŽƒ@raenbow.xyz

Now I just have to finish Gilberta and Yvonne's Narrative Quest and then I can make my way to Wuling (It's only taken me 8 months haha...)

Rae-sing the dead πŸŽƒ
@raenbow.xyz

as for Wuling, I've just got out of the Qingbo Stockade and made an explosive appearance into Wuling City. I really enjoyed the intro with the forest and our supreme chief TangTang! such a goober. Really enjoying the Ambiance and can't wait to explore more!

Ardashir totally giving me sus vibes from his introduction...Also for some reason gives me Luocha vibes.. Maybe it's the mysterious traveler vibes 🀷 Also maybe March 7th's "First person you meet in a new area will be important" is rubbing off on me LOL... (HSR players can relate)

Yvonne's Story thoughhh... 😭😭😭I feel like you can legit refer to this quest as an onion. It starts off with an innocently enough but then BAM! hits you with the Emotional Damage! These stories have really fleshed out the operators and made me cherish them so much.

If I had a nickel for every time a gacha has made me emotional over story or a character recently, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice recently...

Weee, Did the new Pure Fiction last night in #Honkai:StarRail and did pretty good... My E0 Remembrance team is definitely showing it's age...But I still love them none the less. Curious to see what's on the 4.6 Special program Sunday!

Rae-sing the dead πŸŽƒ
@raenbow.xyz

In other game related news I am pleasantly surprised by the 4.6 Livestream today! Pearl looks lovely and the story looks like it'll be ramping up and providing us some juicy details. Good events too so can't wait to dig in when it drops! Will link to a speculation post before it drops.

Rae-sing the dead πŸŽƒ
@raenbow.xyz

That being said I do think the devs do need to reign in the current debacle of HP inflation that has beseiged the endgame in 4.5... As well as the current scenario of one mainstream path per major patch cycle but on the other hand I can understand that...

Rae-sing the dead πŸŽƒ
@raenbow.xyz

Ultimately they need to make money and need people to buy currency to pull for the characters but there has to be a middle ground where some archetypes don't get immediately powercrept... Only time will tell I suppose /shrug

Case in point I've been working my way through Camille's Narrative Quest because it became available and that just blew me away. The attention to detail and lore included was lovely. I hope they keep including these because they are just lovely!

Really enjoying my time playing Arknights: Endfield. I may have picked it up on a whim at launch and have played it sporadically ever since but it's quite unique and I'm loving the ambiance and dynamics in the game.

@raenbow.xyz

Because of this I'm still back in 1.0 lol, been doing quests in Valley IV and they've went surprisingly deeper than I expected. Like the Hartmann "Kindness is rare"quest or the granny jenner quests.. The Rossi Operator quest was absolutely adorable and heartwarming. Looking forward to more!
