It's all just set-up to justify showing off her new skin. It's pretty obvious.

Doing the comissions for Monstad is also wonderfull. For instance, helping the other girl become an adventurer by simply doing all the work for her. You don't help her study, you just give her the right answers so she can pass the test(if you don't, she fails because its your fault). She doesn't even do comissions, you do all the comissions for her. What a big simp Traveler is.

At least she rants about balloon escorts, so I can't dislike her too much.

I just hope she asks us what we think of her "voted" outfit later in the questline.
I'm sure the only 2 options (localized for English) will be.
"ohhh wowww, it's so beautiful"
and
"yaaas slay queen!"
Kinda crazy that the entire purpose of this event is to just sell us a really shitty costume.

Damn you've had a pretty good run lately.In happier news, I gambled today and won Hu Tao on the 50/50.
Shortly before I realized my Mora apparently evaporated leveling the other characters I pulled.

Perhaps, but I did have the benefit of knowing who was worth saving for and how to manage pulls to get stuff I want. I'm also tapped on wishes at this point. It's a long road to save for pity again.
Edit: It's also only the 2nd time I've pulled on a banner other than standard. And so as to not double post...
I saw what happened with him last night on Reddit. I generally don't care about drama from people that work on entertainment but this one was pretty bad and him getting replaced is a no brainer.

And she got two tails.
Just when I thought this game's character design can't get more retarded.

I'll gladly take double cat tails over "Gay-for-pay" Kaveh though.

If we make it out of Genshin without seeing a reference to Sun Wukong by the end, I will be EXTREMELY surprised. He seems to be a domestic favorite among their lores and myths.

Strange, isn't? I was expecting a Wukong reference a long time ago in this game.
Would make more sense than the recents designs.
edit: My only complain would be giving her a polearm because I getting tired of polearms, but for the myth she need to use.

That character have to be from Liyue tho

Frankly i'm surprised that they made Zhongli a dragon and not a monkey. His personality is kinda far from most iterations of Wukong that I've seen though, who is generally depicted as a troublemaker that likes to flaunt his power.

Well, I was planning on doing a Dehya art every day starting at the new banners, but I forgot, so anyways I'll just start today. I might throw some extras in a few days since I already have the folder curated. I was going to keep track of artists twitter or pixiv or whatever, but you guys can just saucenao it if you need to.
Spoilering to not spam those that don't want to see it.

Bet you thought you'd see something lewd, huh? Well guess what, Dehya presumably has a softer side too. The kind that says, "It's ok if you have a burst that only hits for 296.01% ATK damage + 5.07% HP, there there."
Also here's an extra one.

I played one of the betas. It's literally turn based JRPG version of Genshin. Constellations, artifacts, etc. are all in. Farming leylines and bosses for growth materials. They all have different names in this game, but it's the exact same copy/pasted systems.
The most disappointing part is that every character only has 2 skills, also like Genshin, but it's a glaring annoyance in a JRPG format since the genre always has a lot of character growth. In this, they expect you to (of course) roll new characters for new moves.
Story was serviceable, otherwise it's just like a Star Ocean game for world exploration and planet hopping.
I give the whole package a 7/10, the combat is fun enough, but it's really dragged down by having every annoying time gating feature of Genshin added while also over-simplifying characters by only having limited options per character.
Also, as of the last beta I played, it was really fucking annoying to switch party members, which meant that the fact that they are so limited was extra glaring.

Better design than the Fontaine cast at least. I'm not sure what I want from a future Geo character, other than I want her to be universal and not tied to the mono-Geo composition. Honestly, I'd like another shielder with omni-shred so we have an alternate to Zhongli, but I know they'd never do that again, especially with a 4*.8/10!!
I'm not crazy fan of her look or something but still want to know her kit so bad, never been so curious a character kit

Nah can't see myself doing resine and dailes for another gach game,, no way i'll play other Gacha i'll say, Genshin is really special case it's really very good and unique in the genreYou guys are gonna play another hoyo game after the experience with Genshin?
Best scenario to me would be she buffs Charge attack, and it would be even more crazy if she buffs based her DEF (would be insanity combined with Gorou)
IDK about Fontaine for now, usually characters looks off in their leaks compare to final result, so we'll see.

Yea I was hoping for more phantom thief/noire setting, not whatever the hell that is. Like it would have been a cool juxtaposition having the seedy noire underworld in conflict with the official/knightly "Justice" side. There's a lot of potential there for storylines. But this is just "circus A meets circus B"

So god damn I have been pissing with my PC and display settings trying to get Hogwarts to run at full screen native, and as a side effect I enabled HDR and found a few resolution fixes for any game without a setting for exclusive fullscreen.
Ended up making Genshin look absolutely fucking gorgeous. Like I was actually taken aback a bit when I first launched the game and saw it with HDR.
I took Shogun down into the Chasm without the light tool equipped, and holy shit. Like the little electric purple details on her outfit and her spear that lights up, it almost makes it look like a sequel, it's that much of an improvement. I can't believe that I could have been playing like this the whole time.
There's no way that I can get a good picture of it offscreen either, since it won't convey the color depth and accuracy. Desert looked amazing at night.
Moral of the story - if you have the option to play Genshin with HDR enabled, do it.

Does your display/graphics card/HDMI cable support HDR? I think it's HDMI 2.0 and above that support it as far as the display interface and cable. It's just a matter of turning it on if everything you have supports it.
Regarding getting the native fullscreen, you just have to create a shortcut to the executable (the game executable, not the launcher) and in the target window add a space followed by: -window-mode exclusive

I took some screenshots from my work laptop (which doesn't have HDR capabilities), but you can see where to check.
Right Click any blank space on your desktop, go to Display settings
Click on WIndows HD Color settings (I think if you have the ability to push HDR, you should have a toggle for it here instead)
Then in here, you pick a connected display (monitor/tv/whatever) and it will tell you if you have the capabilities. If they all say no, then either your graphics card, cable, or display isn't capable of it.
For the exclusive fullscreen in Genshin, you navigate to the game .exe file which (for default location) should be in c:\Program Files\Genshin Impact\Genshin Impact Game\, then right click it -> send to -> Desktop (create shortcut)
Then on the desktop, you right click the shortcut and go to the "Target" box. Put the existing path in quotes, then add what I mentioned above to the end of the target path, it'll look something like this:
*edit*
If you're doing this fullscreen mode thing, you want to run the game from this shortcut from now on, which will bypass the launcher. The only time you will need to run it from the launcher is when we get a version update and you have to download the new packages. Mid-version updates work just fine with the shortcut.

I remember having to change the color settings in Windows display settings to get Jewel Thief to work right in Windows 95.

Man, I'm continuing the new Jeht quest, and I really hope she turns into a playable character at some point. It's a shame we have cool quests like this with NPCs but some characters don't even have a cheap 3 location story quest or a hangout. I'm not saying I wish Jeht wasn't in this quest, but like why wasn't it Dehya or Candace or something? Anyways.
Nice take on her characer card art before we saw the official leak.
