Fuck Jeannies
|
|
Jannies in /gig/ have a bad habit of deleting SFW loli. /gig/'s (canonically) favorite loli is Klee, who is constantly being thrown in jail by Jean for trumped-up bullshit like "acts of terrorism" or "war crimes". The pun wrote itself.

diluc_gaming
|
|
Around the launch of Genshin, one of the initially more popular Youtubers was a channel called diluc_gaming until everyone realized he was bad at the game. Subsequently, it became a meme to point out that whenever people complain about a fight being difficult or a puzzle being confusing, they often have Diluc in their party.

240 Days
|
|
During the 2.6 update of Genshin, miHoYo's head offices in Shanghai were locked down due to COVID. As a result, the 2.7 update was delayed. To go with this announcement, the active banner at the time (an Ayaka rerun) had its duration extended (initially to 240 days, then "until 2.6 ends"), which some people took as a threat that 2.7 wouldn't be coming until they rolled for Ayaka.

Cheld
|
|
Ajax "Tartaglia" Childe, if that is his real name, is serial butt of just about every joke in the Liyue chapter of the story. On top of that, he's not amazing as a playable character and his banner tends to be re-run when people least desire it, though to be fair that's most of the time.

For Me, It's Yaoyao
|
|
Dendro: the mysterious missing 7th element. It's not actually that mysterious, it just wasn't ready on launch and has been delayed update after update ever since. Yaoyao is a small girl character of the Dendro element who was, at least aesthetically, finished in time to be featured in promotional art. Some people really want Yaoyao, and have gradually lost their minds waiting for her.

CEO of GEO
|
|
Geo is sort of a fifth-wheel element and at launch, it wasn't great. Hopes for an all-Geo synergy team rode heavily on the back-to-back releases of Zhongli and Albedo. However, Zhongli on launch was one of the worst units in the game. True believers told people to buy the dip, and ultimately it actually kind of paid off as Zhongli was buffed after his banner and Albedo's only rerun so far was almost a full year later.

BWEHHHHHH
|
|
/gig/ likes a series of comics which portrays the characters of Inazuma as toddlers prone to crying at the slightest provocation. Draw your own conclusions.
|
|
EEEQEEE
|
|
Yae Miko was a major story character for the Inazuma chapter of the game which a lot of people liked. Disappointingly, her playable version has the rather clunky rotation of placing 3 turrets with E, immediately destroying those turrets to power up her Q, and then placing the turrets again because hitting Q refreshes their cooldown.

Emergency Onahole
|
|
What else would you use a squeaky mascot character for?
|
|
Waschizo
|
|
One world quest in the Inazuma region involves coming across a man named Washizu sitting next to a shrine telling you that an entity he refers to only as "He" wants you to pray to the shrine and that you'll receive a reward for doing so. This is true. You can repeat it for a few days, over which Washizu's ramblings about "Him" become gradually more unhinged. It doesn't end well for Washizu, but that doesn't stop /gig/ from asking "Him" for advice, blessings, etc.

|
GOOBA
|
|
Xiangling has a supernatural pet panda-thing named Guoba. She summons him as an attack, which often results in calling his name. In the Japanese dub, this was pronounced more like "Guba" which was transformed by /gig/ into Gooba. It's actually pronounced more like gwo-ba, so the dialog was eventually re-recorded and replaced, which made nobody happy.
|
|
Alpedo
|
|
Klee's mother is always traveling, and leaves Klee in the care of Albedo. /gig/ just kind of ran with calling him a pedo.
|
|
The Chad Inverted Triangle
|
|
As with all new characters, Yelan was subject to pre-release schizoposting about how she's the worst character ever. In her case, one of the more memorable arguments was that her design is bad because it incorporates "inverted triangles" as opposed to other attractive female characters of a similar body type, which use the traditional point-at-the-top sort of triangle.

Hi /gig/!

Hi, /gig/!

Roll For Who You Like
|
|
One of the enduring legacies of /gig/'s awful track record of guessing prospectively which characters will be strong (such as >cryo Amber) is a rather simple ritualpost: Just roll for who you like.
|
|
>see bennett >close stream
|
|
Bennett is a low-investment meta-defining unit with a powerful attack buff. Also, perhaps more importantly, he is male. As a result, it has become commonplace in /gig/ to voice your distaste for his presence in webms of clear times or big damage numbers. This has since evolved to the point that it's generally sufficient to comment just ">b".

|
Boarbara
|
|
Barbara, while an in-universe idol character and a healer, does technically do damage and can therefore be used to hunt wildlife like boars to collect meat. Some people really, really like thinking about that.
|
|
Jeannie
|
|
Jean, the Acting Grandmaster of the Knights of Favonius, whose entire character is being a No Fun Allowed sign. At least she can say she gets paid for it.
|
|
My Useless Onahole Wife!
|
|
Yanfei, who was added to the game after Klee, occupies the same niche as Klee and is strictly worse than Klee. And Klee is is already considered off-meta. Isn't being an onahole technically a use though?
|
|
Coom in Loom
|
|
The female player character, Lumine, gets a lot of mileage in Genshin porn. It's certainly one of the most economical choices of waifu you could make.
|
|
*shrieking*
|
|
A meme screenshot from early on in the story which gets a lot of mileage as a reply to whiny posts.
|
|
Berry
|
|
A long time ago in /gig/, there was a poster who would constantly take screenshots of Ningguang looking at fruit. One of those screenshots which has continued to be reposted long after the originator stopped is that of Ningguang looking perplexedly at a berry floating in midair--a glitch which has since been patched.
|
|
Euler
|
|
Previously "Please Don't Put Euler on the Roster". Eula is a character which was seemingly pulled out of miHoYo's ass for all she had to do with the plot, and which was shitposted into oblivion leading up to her release as a result. One of the enduring shitposts about her is that she is autistic, because of a fake early leak where someone plugged her theme of sea spray/spindrift into a Latin translator and determined her constellation would be "Aspergo".
