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? 🤔 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 🎃 @raenbow.xyz · 27/09/2026

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!

Everytime I see Jingyu Valley mentioned in Endfield my brain reads it as "Jingliu" before going "...Wrong Game". 😂

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 🎃 @raenbow.xyz · 26/09/2026

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.

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.

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....

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!

A cropped photo of the Pure Fiction mode in Honkai: Star Rail. There are three stages to battle as follows:

Stage 1: Bugs - Team used: Castorice, Cyrene, Evernight, Hyacine. Defeated with a score of 24,040.
Stage 2: Fulwish Boss - Team used: Silver Wolf Lvl 999, Trailblazer (Elation), Yao Guang, Huo Huo - Defeated with a full clear score of 40,000
Stage 3: Borisin Warhead Hoolay - Team Used: Himeko * Nova , Welt, Sunday, Dan Heng: Permansor Terrae - Defeated with a full clear score of 40,000.

All combined for a score of 104,040 which is enough for three stars and a clear of starward mode (req 99,000 minimum)

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.

Pulling for Typhoeus in Arknights:Endfield and I think I used up some luck here! Got both Typhoeus and Arcane in one ten pull?! Thaank you! Now time to build them both! 😅 Then onwards for more story!

A picture of the pull summary page in Arknights: Endfield. It shows the following:

Two 6 stars (Arcane & Typhoeus) they have an orange back drop behind them
Two Five stars ( Chen & Da Pan) they have a gold backdrop
Six four stars. They have a purple backdrop.

Managed to make Himeko Nova have an absurd amount of break through the power of Currency wars. I know that my Firefly has had some crazy break % before but never gotten a non break character this high.

Other stats are as follows :
HP 1972 (+5396)
ATK 1391 (6789)

Had to take some breaks in between gameplay but finally finished and that patch was exceptional... Answered some questions but gave me many more but I guess that's the sign of a good story? Definitely a 😭 patch at times...Can't wait to see what's onward.
