I was trying to work out a new combo for my burst Qiqi to see if I could work Shenhe into that. Instead I ended up with Qiqi's elemental skill (not burst) landing a 6 figure hit (no food and Shenhe's build isn't even finished yet, but there's still a lot of buff stacking going on to land that hit).

I guess I'm done using that arm now.

If anybody wanted to start a Takuya Holding Things blog, here's something to start with. #GenshinImpact

Specialty Coffee Association sent me a new pin as thanks for my work on an education program that I quit the committee making that in protest of the organization's terrible stewardship of that. My name will be in materials I'll never see unless someone leaks it to me because I'm not a "real instructor." These days they just let me make up my own classes independent of that program because my workshops get good reviews and keep selling out. I don't really get it.

Local COVID case numbers bringing the risk level back up to severe. It didn't need to be like this, but I don't think it's surprising to anybody working in retail.

Cat.

Spam can be weird sometimes. I cannot imagine anybody reading this and thinking, "this is a legitimate business with a product or service that I am interested in so I will follow up and give them money," and yet this sort of thing persists so presumably it must be working?

I wonder who shared the YouTube version of my latest video. Pro tip: it was available on PeerTube earlier and there aren't ads run with the video there so maybe share that version instead?

Roasting some samples I picked up at Expo.

tonight's cat

Today's lunch.

It was more symmetrical before I took a sip.

New book, signed. I didn't tell him what to write.

I've been getting my daily proof of life photos of the cat.

This is where I'd put my stem bolts, if I had any.

I was not surprised to learn this.

My new defective tea infuser (there should be black, white, and yellow features, not just pink).

It's not pyro Qiqi level damage, but 31,653 is a new personal best for a Qiqi charged attack. I think there's a little more I can squeeze out of this build with better execution and a different team composition might also work better.

While it's certainly possible to squeeze out more, tonight I set a new personal best for Aquila Favonia weapon passive damage with this hit for 66,860. My previous best for this damage type was a bit over 45K. #GenshinImpact #Qiqi

My latest pyro Qiqi build can do pretty good damage with her elemental skill. Maybe I'll try maxing that out in a cryo build some time.
