Bloom @bloomev.bsky.social · 08/06/2025Completely avoiding mentioning the Halo TV show is for the best 000
Bloom @bloomev.bsky.social · 08/06/2025WOOO MORE INDIANA JONES. Last thing I thought we'd see but this is great news 000
Bloom @bloomev.bsky.social · 08/06/2025Why did meatboy come out of the Mario pipe lol? Happy for more meatboy though 000
Bloom @bloomev.bsky.social · 08/06/2025Anyone know what impulse triggers on the Xbox ally are? Is that just fancy marketing for hair trigger settings? 000
Bloom @bloomev.bsky.social · 08/06/2025Xbox ally is interesting. Happy that it pushes play anywhere forward. Gotta see how the performance compares to the series X|S 000
Bloom @bloomev.bsky.social · 02/06/2025@reckless.bsky.social Rewatching the Android Show and Google I/O... feels like google really did their best to avoid talking about the smart home. No indication of "Gemini in your home" Especially with Alexa+ Launching at some point this year, feels a bit conspicuous that its missing 000
Bloom @bloomev.bsky.social · 17/04/2025I'm building out this profile to have quite a bit of posts, in order to to use it for testing stuff with AT Proto. So forgive me, folks who followed me through a starter pack, for I'll be appearing in your following feeds for a short time longer 010
Bloom @bloomev.bsky.social · 08/03/2025I mostly play single player games but monster hunter wilds seems pretty interesting. Can anyone tell me if it's a good singleplayer experience? 010
Bloom @bloomev.bsky.social · 08/03/2025Have you considered a Motorola RAZR? They nailed the cover display experience. Its less hassle to setup and even has an app switcher 000
Bloom @bloomev.bsky.social · 20/02/2025Everyone go play Avowed. Its really good. Nothing more needs to be said 000
Bloom @bloomev.bsky.social · 23/12/2024Also, its not like every Natlan character is good everywhere in the region. They are also specific to their areas near their tribes. There is little water near the children of echoes for Mualani to surf much like there is little mountain for Xilonen to ride in the Flower Feather Clan. 000
Bloom @bloomev.bsky.social · 23/12/2024 This also means that in a year when we leave Natlan, or even sooner when we have events outside Natlan the value of these characters plummets. This also affects pulling strats. Why pull for Mavuika if shes only good in Natlan while Furina can walk on water anywhere? 100
Bloom @bloomev.bsky.social · 23/12/2024Being in Natlan grants additional duration and the full set of movement abilities much like their respective saurian. When leaving Natlan they have a far too small duration, and some functionality removed. So Natlaners are worth it only in Natlan, a restriction not shared by other characters 100
Bloom @bloomev.bsky.social · 23/12/2024 Electrograna are everywhere in Inazuma and no character will replace its functionality. Natlan characters not only are a better versions of the Saurians (a topic for another day) but without said character or saurian locks out that area's mechanics entirely. 100
Bloom @bloomev.bsky.social · 23/12/2024Then we have the value of these characters. Pre-5.0 characters had a set duration on their abilities and a standard cooldown time between usage. Region specific mechanics are present throughout the whole region (where needed) and were character agnostic. 100
Bloom @bloomev.bsky.social · 23/12/2024Almost none of the combat moves allow you to both fight and move around. I can mark people with Yelan's ability while running around, I can't keep grappling while grappling onto an enemy, since I also have to move direction and keep firing and find which direction to move to. 100
Bloom @bloomev.bsky.social · 23/12/2024Chasca stops flying and starts firing her gun, Kachina gets off of her drill and has it shake the earth. While using the same systems as their traversal systems, their combat does different things. This gives the feeling of this being tacked onto a cool combat idea they had. 100
Bloom @bloomev.bsky.social · 23/12/2024Natlan characters all have a unique movement ability that relates to which tribe they originate and said tribe's saurian subspecies. Kinich can grapple, Mualani can ride the waves, Ororon can jump and glide. The thing is that that they also have combat abilities that are entirely separate. 100
Bloom @bloomev.bsky.social · 23/12/2024Pre-Natlan traversal characters have their movement action also a combat system. Kazuha jumps to pull in enemies while Yelan runs to mark them. Their movement abilities exist primarily as combat mechanics that was then expanded for exploration. What if Keqing teleports upwards or Sayu keeps rolling. 100
Bloom @bloomev.bsky.social · 23/12/2024While not scares there aren't many pre 5.0 characters that have traversal mechanics. Quite a few of them are tied to movement speed, a lot of them are in Anemo characters, and they all last an arbitrary amount that doesn't really change. 100
Bloom @bloomev.bsky.social · 23/12/2024I'm not going to talk about design since its so subjective and honestly I like all the designs, and my personal immersion isn't broken by Mavuika's bike. I am going to talk about their value proposition and the implementation of traversal mechanics compared to past characters. 100
Bloom @bloomev.bsky.social · 23/12/2024In the 5.3 trailer we have a variation of the Natlan theme as the big finale music, where the Genshin theme would slot in perfectly (especially since its our first story focused on the Abyss and Khaenriah since Mondstadt so it really should have MORE ties to the central theme). 000
Bloom @bloomev.bsky.social · 23/12/2024Almost none of the music contains any semblance of the Genshin theme, instead variations of their regions main theme. While this is present in other regions since its the focus of its music, they all tied back to the main theme to show that they are interconnected to the larger world. 100
Bloom @bloomev.bsky.social · 23/12/2024Let me say that both of these regions' tracks are amazing, yet dont fit in well with the pre-established format of Genshin's music. The biggest part of is the lack of a Genshin theme in Fontaine and Natlan's music. 100
Bloom @bloomev.bsky.social · 23/12/2024While Yu-Peng Chen's tracks contained an undertone of sorrow (its everywhere in Liyue and Inazuma, mostly through their melody or secondary exploration tracks), Fontaine and Natlan contains very little of it, focusing on the "bright" and "fresh" and melodic aspects of Genshin Music. 100
Bloom @bloomev.bsky.social · 23/12/2024In Fontaine, the music team took the planned Fontaine theme (in the travail trailer) and decided to use it as the Fontaine Fatui theme (mentioned in the behind the scenes video). It was at this point that the music shifted. 100
Bloom @bloomev.bsky.social · 23/12/2024He was also in charge of all of the music until some point during Sumeru's run where he parted ways from the company to work on his stellar album Fantasyland. 100
Bloom @bloomev.bsky.social · 23/12/2024Mondstadt's theme is basically the Genshin theme, which works well as its the "tutorial" nation and also contains a ton lore that Hoyo better expand on before this ends. Yu-Peng Chen helped develop the main theme as well as themes for each of the regions. 100
Bloom @bloomev.bsky.social · 23/12/2024Other aspects such as each regions also have unique musical identifiers, yet everything ties back to the central theme. 100
Bloom @bloomev.bsky.social · 23/12/2024Let me start by saying that I love Genshin's music, Its a good chunk of my Spotify wrapped and the only piece of Genshin merch I have is the Liyue Album CD set. Much like other IPs, Genshin Impact's music has a central theme/leitmotif that when you hear it you know "this is Genshin". 100
Bloom @bloomev.bsky.social · 04/12/2024Guess I'm recommending articles now. "Six hours under martial law in Seoul" by @sarahjeong.bsky.social is a great article that cuts the panic and tension that news of such events often brings with a dose of "Please just let me sleep" which makes it all the better www.theverge.com/24312920/mar...theverge.comSix hours under martial law in SeoulOn the ground from the protests outside the National Assembly building. 000
Bloom @bloomev.bsky.social · 30/11/20242/2) Even with the amount I unfollow (not alot) I keep hitting a wall where I'm just checking the same list of 100 accounts that are active. The function getFollows() has a limit of the top 100 accounts and I cant specify which segment of 100 accounts. I'm stumped. Ideas please. #dev #bluesky 010
Bloom @bloomev.bsky.social · 30/11/20241/2) To clean out my follows list I'm trying to use the API to remove accounts that have not posted in at least a month. Problem is I'm following 1000+ accounts and can only grab the top 100. #dev #bluesky #blueskyapi #python 200
Reposted by BloomJason Westhaver 🇨🇦 @njiska.com · 29/11/2024Reminds me of when The Outer Worlds came out and there were a lot of questions about why it didn't include a colourblind mode or settings. The answer simply being, it was designed to be played without colour information because co-director Tom Cain is colourblind. Simple and thoughtful. 02410
Bloom @bloomev.bsky.social · 06/11/2024I'd love to be able to see if I'm in a starter pack. The fact that my account says "For Testing" and is getting follows implies that I'm on a list and people are hitting "follow all" 010
