Wild, Star Rail is getting a physical release.
"Includes gilded holographic character 9-card set, two PS 5 holographic Chibi Trailblazer keychains, PS 5 physical game disk and disk cover, PS 5 postcard, and PS 5 game"
... Imma be real, I want it as a collectable.
I have no interest in a PS5.
Goddammit, Schezo... || *insert incredibly thirsty copypasta about Dr. Ratio*I can appreciate all the memes I've seen thus far about how Yanqing is no longer a Memetic Loser, because the real loser is Jing Yuan, who's just such a sucky teacher that Yanqing learned more from a single afternoon with Jingliu than years of studying under him.
Also dang this was a shippy arc. You get the both the cute, fluffy Yan/Yun and the mature, angsty Fei/Jiao.

Huh, why Preservation Trailblazers?

I'm in favour of anything dunking on Jing Yuan, but Yanqing's win rate didn't really change that much after hanging out with Jingliu. All three Luofu events are after that, and he loses a fight in the first two

I can't say the latter read as particularly romantic to me
The cards look like those from the Black Swan event just before her release, but there were more than 9. I wonder if Hoyo is going to stealthily create HSR card collectibles so that people start also buying boosters to complete the set.
I call all the who yaoqing trio "Feixiao and her harem of boy toys" partly as a joke but there is an element of all three being soulmates with their strong mutual care for one another even at their own detriment. I guess you could call them all accomplices.
I absolutely cannot help but adore handsome 2D boys![]()
I thought they kinda had the same dynamic as your usual Fire Emblem Lord + 2 Retainers trio, and more often than not those read as very good friends more than lovers or soulmates.
Yep, but after looking it up, those probably aren't the same cards, because those cards are sold for the extremely reasonable price of $80 for the full set of 14 on the official site.
I doubt we'll get 9 of them in a pack worth half of that price.

But where's the romance (as in the sentimental meaning of the word) in that
x3 yeah, and I was disagreeing with you.
All that being said one isn't really obligated to take a romantic (the lovey dovey kind) reading of their relationship, for me ships are just a matter of "Do I want to see these characters interacting forever?", it's just that to me it's not that difficult to see how someone might take a romantic reading out of someone dedicating their life to heal a person they care for and when they succeed at their own detriment the other person decides to take up the mantle. Stuff like their extra text messages also serves to highlight how particularly close they are to eachother.

I absolutely cannot help but adore handsome 2D boys... Do you even know how badly I want Feixiao to get a S-rank support with Jiaoqiu if such a mechanic was put in the game (which is never; miHoYo games rarely have explicit romances between playable characters)?

A tierlist maker for the 2.5 patch. I made mine, based only on non-gameplay criteria: looks, story, personality (hence why there's only one Trailblazer, March or Dan Heng).
It's post 2.5 with the MSQ & event completed.
(Rough translation because I'm too lazy to redo it in English: SSS-Faves, S-Excellent, A-Very Good, B-Fine!, C-Alright, D-Nope)
What I'm getting from this is that Firefly is insanely polarizing, people have a strong opinion of the IPC which Aventurine is immune to and always above, Feixiao's riding high on what is honestly probably recency bias, and apparently I alone am cursed for this site to break when I try to upload a tier image.
Does anyone actually read these?

Hoolay and Feixiao won me over by the end, meanwhile Dan Heng with his nth lame sideplot has to deal with random bozo out of nowhere to conveniently tie everything up and then die. It really should be studied in a lab how they manage to make Jing Yuan boring time after time after time. And Yanqing's moments actually managed to make his arc seem worthwhile!
also oh boy how long is the new event
