[tenth-sentence]

In several places I noticed volcanic bombs, that is, masses of lava which have been shot through the air whilst fluid, and have consequently assumed a spherical or pear-shape.

The internal structure of one of these bombs, when broken, is represented very accurately in the woodcut on the previous page.

torn between making ve-corpsis an isolated island (potential fun to be had with island syndrome and the way that would effect the wildlife in terms of less biodiversity+island gigantism/dwarfism) or making it a massive rainforest (humidity would better suit the drakes and theres a lot to be done with the Massive amounts of biodiversity+the idea of drakes having to compete w that). coughs

[bitwynn]

As a person who likes playing genshin like the Sims and Animal Crossing, I HATE the fact that theres a fucking load value

Like dude my islands feel so fucking EMPTY because "oh no youve reached your furnishing limit nyeh nyeh nyeh" like bitch-- theres sO MUCH EMPTY SPACE I HAVENT EVEN REACHED THE RED LOAD YET COME ON

And like-- i get that they do it so the game can actually run better or something but like-- i kNOW hoyoverse can do something about it they just dONT WANNA

#im fucking pissed my islands look so empty #i literally just put down 4 sets and 2 characters and its already asking for death #and tHEY ARENT EVEN THAT BIG A SET TO BEGIN WITH #im sO FUCKING PISSED #just let me make my ascension pilgrimage themed realm you bASTARDS #genshin #genshin impact

Is bragging rights permitted? First 10 pulls, first five star character, first pull on the banner, first day.

#genshin impact #lucky pulls #very lucky #i got teary-eyed #like a hug #im their favorite child #but god I hope I can keep it up once my good boy Autumn Winds comes along next banner #i pulled on this one cause it felt obligatory #thrilled with itto (for personality) #and my (not) purple kitty (for ascension reasons) #the new character off the bat was pretty cool too #but I am shaking for the two windy lads next banner over #please luck dont run out #i only have 20 pulls to spend #30 if i keep pushing it #cry #though i will be appreciating what I have #as soon as I see how hard those bosses are for the island #the ruin and a wolf are the bosses for those two #both from the island #which i havent seen much of yet #sadly Ill be stuck putting off more characters as I cant do their bosses #currently its about anyone from the island #Thoma Sayu and now these two #I also cant do Barbara since I hardly leave a dent in the ocean #Im on adventure level 35 right now and Im avoiding the quest #in exchange for leveling everyone up to 70 #which im starting to realise is very hard to do #feels pathetic killing lowlives like the treature hunters #star pulses

I may here mention, that on a part of the coast of Ascension, where there is a vast accumulation of shelly sand, an incrustation is deposited on the tidal rocks, by the water of the sea, resembling, as represented in the woodcut, certain cryptogamic plants (Marchantiæ) often seen on damp walls.

I thought exploring Sumeru would be toilsome. but as i've already done every quest i could get my hands on i can go everywhere so it's not that bad. & the whole place is neato.

INAZUMA, on the other hand... ruu was RIGHT when he said that it's Purple. why is EVERYTHUNG so purple. and why is so much exploration barred behind sakura tree levels. my apologies ei but makoto must die a second time for her transgressions. FUCK inazuma ALL MY HOMIES hate inazuma. enkanomiya is pretty cool tho so good on kokomi for having the plot to Flushed Away just sitting right next to her people

#i did the entirety of the tsurumi island questline in one sitting while nursing a headache. which pissed me off so bad #i HATE excessive fog i HATE overly dark places. if i cant fucking see im not playing the game [side-eyes Doors bitterly] #i couldnt see SHIT i had to look up guides & cut to the point a to point b parts & then mimic those precisely in order to get anywhere #sumeru's sins is all of the questlocked shit but i am such a quest doer so it is no issue to me #i did aranyaka in one sitting & i had a great time. tsurumi island can go to hell though #the moment i max inazuma's exploration i am never setting foot in that god damn nation ever again #until i need inazuma mats 😔 #god bless whoever filled seirai island with such a ridiculous quantity of amakumo fruits or whatever theyre called btw #if i ever pull for raiden shogun i wont have to worry about her ascension mats. & when i finally build kirara i just need boss drops & gem #i have cyno almost completely leveled. farming scarabs is kind of fun because i get henna berries at the same time #& i need so many fucking henna berries. bc of faruzan but also bc i want to build candace someday #ALSO dehya i am working on building you <- has her c fucking 3? c4? #<- jeanless. c1 qiqi no cons in any other standard. dilucless until recently #just to put into perspective how much dehya loves and appreciates me #i got her at 18 pity on ayatos banner too. i was rolling for shits & giggles (& starglitter) and then surprise! dehya
