How do kobold sandtroopers help, exactly? Aside from the fact that they cost 2, it takes multiples to stop every pogo past the second one. Either you or I are thinking of the wrong card.

I didn't consider Earth Shock. That's a reasonable choice. But then the game's a straight coin flip, assuming you don't get outdrawn by the rogue. So ~50/50 to not get outpaced by the rogue and then 50/50 to get stronger cards on board. (Maybe a little better than 50/50 on the latter since shaman cards are probably stronger for board presence.) Doesn't seem like it's in your advantage, so much as it's just not a guaranteed loss.

Weblord is funny. That works.

Silence just leads to use getting pecked to death by 1/1's unless the silence is on a stick, and then it costs too much and you're dead before you can play them.

What beats pogos, out of curiosity? I can't think of a card you can play for cheap that's going to do better than 2-for-1, or that's going to both kill them and create a board presence. I think there's a minion that kills target mech, but it's much too expensive. Best I can think of is maybe you do Frost Nova, but you'll run out of them eventually, and it's awfully hard to ping your opponent to death. (An opponent who can also ping you with the rogue dagger, at that.)

Today's brawl:

Pick one card, get 22 copies of it in your deck, huh. Guess I'll play pogo...

First opponent is a druid. Plays Jade Idol.
I play pogo, coin, pogo.
Druid instantly concedes.

I laughed pretty hard at that. Although it's looking like most people don't have an answer for pogo.

So it's just shitty design then. Got it.

Depends on your perspective. I mean, yeah, it would be nice if it was checking scanlines for anything in the general spectrum of red colors, so in that regard, yes, it sucks. I was confused why I couldn't take a picture of a fire, for instance. But it really didn't take long to realize that it's only programmed to recognize ground-spawn objects. When you point at something, it literally puts a circle around the object that it's scanning, even when it represents only a small fraction of the total shot. And I'm sure it's much simpler for them to program in code that checks if clickable objects are in front of you (because there's already code for that) and the item comes off a finite list of specific things deemed red.

I think you're having trouble understanding how this event works.

Today, the color of everything has to be red. You photograph red things. It doesn't matter what color you want afterwards. You aim at red objects.

Consequently, the picture itself -- because of the special properties of the kurious kamera, as detailed by the quest NPC -- will have a color assigned to it that has absolutely nothing to do with today's color.. Your goal is to get one of each picture color to turn in, which does not need to be completed today. However, you can only take 10 pictures today, so you should take all that you can and accept whatever colors you get.

Once you have one of each of the five colors, you can turn them in for a prize box. Each time you get a complete set, you'll get another. Since, if you're like me and my 6 red-hued pictures, you'll inevitably have too many of one color, you have the option to trade with other players to even things out.

Is Hu Tao pyro or physical damage? I assume she must be physical damage if you're running her with Xinyan. If that's the case, I assume you'd want an electro for superconduct, so I'd say Fischl.

Also, what's the purpose of having two completely independent teams like that? You have to plug and play in Abyss to meet the needs of the floor, and can't run more than 4 characters anywhere else.

foolmo - save the books at least until you hit the main gacha pulls. You're going to get three party members for free, but you might decide you would prefer others. Still, the exp books are the primary way to level. Grinding/creeping is basically not a thing in this game.

Don't have near enough Starglitter since I purchased the Blackcliff Warbow.

That's a shame. If I didn't manage to pull Ganyu, I might want the Blackcliff, but I can't afford to buy it in case I need the extra wishes (or in case I get an off-banner character.)

I decided to get a second VH off the battle pass last night, though, so I could go with that rather than refining.

Like, why would anyone lend money? "Hey, can you lend me your money so I can spend it? I promise I'll give it right back, good as new."

But when you lend money, you get more money back in return. Are you implying that when lending stocks, you get back more stock in return?

And yeah, aecioo, I don't know crap about the process. I'm always amazed at how the stock market seems to magically create money out of nothing, but surely that money came from somewhere, right? It's not that the price of a stock goes up just because we say it does and then suddenly everyone with shares has a more valuable portfolio. At least, I hope not. But it certainly doesn't feel like a zero-sum process.

Every article I see talks about short selling like it's a simple and easy to understand concept. I finally broke down and looked up outside articles to explain what short selling is, and the explanation was as follows:

  1. Borrow shares of a stock.
  2. Sell those borrowed shares.
  3. Wait for the price to fall.
  4. Buy replacement shares for the ones you borrowed.
So instead of paying someone back the $20 you borrowed, you're paying back your broker the stocks that you borrowed from them. It's a reverse buy-low-sell-high. That is, it's sell-high-buy-low. But how do you borrow stock? Like, why would anyone lend a stock? "Hey, can you lend me your stuff so I can sell it? I promise I'll give them right back, good as new."

Admittedly, I know very little about how stocks really work. I could probably ask a billion other questions about the market.

  4. Farm lots of artifacts.
  5. Gather my primos for wishing on Ganyu on Monday, and decide where to go from there.
I did at least finally get a middling Thundersoother sands for Keqing, so I can scratch that one off the list. Now to look for a sand for Childe. And then a sands for all my other characters. Because good sands in this game don't exist.
