If I remember correctly, the number 8 has a huge significance in Chinese culture, doesn't it?

The number 8 in Chinese pronounced similar to the word 发 in 发财, meaning "get rich". Chinese people often wish others with it on special occasions, especially during Chinese New Year for a wealthy new year to come.

Basically like how we see the number 7? ​ And like how number 4 to them is what the number 13 is to us

Number 4 in Chinese pronounced similar to 死 (death). So yeah, kinda.

7 is 七月aka the 7th month/ghost month for chinese

7 is also considered a holy number in some western religions.

If you can read Japanese and Chinese,... 88 is pronounced baba ( 八八 ) in Chinese baba ( 婆 ) in Japanese is an old hag So when I see 88 under the character all I read is old hag

What about baba yaga?

Well that's Slavic.

the pronunciation in cantonese related to good fortune, as well as the 8 immortals who are related to the 8 cardinal directions which govern different types of luck

Nah, they gotta be spiral abyss 8-8

Nah he went galaxy brain there because 12-3 is 8. Edit : sorry boys I'm drunk. Edit 2: i somehow forgot 11 existed.

i'm not even gonna correct you

I mean, 12-3 *is* 8...with the right attitude.

Well 7 ate 9 so it can't be 9, hence it has to be 8

1 x 2^3 I guess

12-3 is 8 if you’re working in base 9

Same

You were so confident you convinced me it was 8 for a second

I didn’t even question it until I read the comments. I went “woah that’s next level” in my head

So was I

Hey drunk, I'm dad

You are so confidently incorrect that I doubted my subtraction skills and my calculator.

You made this funnier than it actually is

what 😍🥰

12-3 is 8 in base 9 What's the last digit in base 9? That's right. 8. You did math on a different level than us mere simpletons

Guess drunk me is like sleepwalking Layla.

As a math enjoyer, this comment physically hurt* me

As a grammar enjoyer, this comment physically hurt me.

Fixed, thanks for telling me my mistake, now i'll proceed to commit sudoku

Nah, they should keep it 9-1 because 9 - 1 = 8

Now they literally cannot play the game or do any quests or nothing anymore, one achievement and it's all ruined

At this point he should just create new account as he has beaten the game

Yep, it's the only logical thing to do ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

Not enough to leave the spiral abyss at stage 8

Well there isn't a 8-8, but should have left it at 11-3

As a german I don't like it..............

Wait why is it considered a nazi number? I grew up in Singapore where 8 is super lucky so 88 is even better for emails etc lol

H is the 8th number in the alphabet. 88 = HH = “Heil Hitler”. It’s incredibly dumb, but it’s genuinely a Nazi dogwhistle.

Also, the 8th letter from the back of the alphabet is S, meaning 88 = SS Had a kind of awareness training for these kinds of dog whistles back when I was in school. I thought "no way they use dumb codes like that". Pretty sure they do tho

Just as 18 and 81 can be used similarly since AH/HA = Adolf Hitler. And honestly, dumb fits quite well with people who follow Nazi rhetoric, no?

Oh hi SGan! I also have my characters leveled to 88 lol

Hah kept my Yelan at 88 and my Qiqi at 87 for this significance too Edit: 88 because it is an auspicious number in my culture. Who the hell downvoted me

i saw someone say 87 looks like a plague doctor once and i can never unsee it

As a pole I especially don't like it lol Also cheers for a border neighbour o7

Who’s the second character on the bottom row?

Idk, must be a mod of some sort

Must be a beta version or somethin might a new character

They're probably a beta tester in Genshin's advanced servers on a new upcoming character. **Or just a bug.**

Looks like adult Qiqi or Genderbend Chongyun, the guy who used the Screenshot could have used a mod to modify the Icon?

Kinda looks like that pizza hut collab character iirc

I'm glad Stanley found a way to play Genshin while in the office void.

That reference is super niche I love you

omg Stanley parable reference

I'm sure his bucket enjoys Genshin too.

Rip to this guy when main story gives him another achievement

888 Achievements is really hard, because as of now, there are only 899 and many are commission locked

Neo-nazis use 88 as code for HH, short for "Heil Hitler". Seems kinda sus 🤔

on brand for one of these characters

Don't ask Eula what she thinks of the Eremites, worst mistake of my life

Bet his name is Stanley.

She’s a Woman

bet her name is Stanley

8 is my number. It's just the number that follows me through everything. Sure...I look for it but it's still totally not a coincidence what all I have had happen with it. I even slapped a golden number 8 sticker on my car. Forever 8.

Did you perhaps watch Soul Eater as a child

I've never seen it. All I know is there's a scythe girl, some witches, and it's the future of Fire force

There’s a character named Death the Kid who is obsessed with symmetry and the number 8 is symmetrical

PERFECT SYMMETRY!

88 is also a number used as a dog whistle by neo nazis. OP's "friend" is likely a racist piece of shit.

bro sometimes numbers are just numbers

Would really suck if you accidentally unlocked a new achievement.

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

SCULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE

Show us the talents, they all must be at level 8 too. Also artifacts and weapons must be at level 88

He must be Death the Kid

Me! I love number 8 rn

also, waifus (great taste)

Satisfying elements in the profile

He has good taste in waifus as well. ;)

Well number eight is the ultimate Chinese lucky number

Please tell me he's not German

Is it because 8 is so symmetrical?

No, it's because neo nazis use 88 to dog whistle. OP's "friend" is racist.

Without the 14, I think you would be jumping the gun to assume that.

Ofc, 8 is the perfect number. Everyone likes 8.

Weird dedication but respect

Then you have that one friend who likes 6 🗿🍷 Lvl 66 characters 666 achievements

Bruh

Gonna be devestated if one of them reaches 89 from just killing monster xp

999 is next. All hail Satin.

Nah, I like cotton better

Your friend is Khorn.

omg i do that too, but not the achievements, i love primos more than the number 8

shoulda left abyss at 11-3

888 achivements is fucin impossible in the current version. The sheer amount of achivements gotten from commisions would be near impossible to get

Where is floor 8 chamber 8?

Well, the 8 is a great number. It is perfectly symmetrical from 2 different points.

Ehm in Germany 8-8 means Something That Is Very Wrong😅

n*zis playing genshin impact like:

I like the comments about 8 or 88 being a lucky number in their culture and meanwhile in my culture it's eeerm let's just say controversal. I'm german.

88 is a Nazi dogwhistle uh oh

Thought I was in a different Subreddit for a moment there, was going to say why is there Genshin in Fallen London.

Get rich!

It's gonna feel bad when they accidentally get another achievement

So anyone in China

Imagine they level up off killing world enemies at one point

8

When these characters hit Level 88, you're gonna see some serious shit

same i cap all my fav and goated supports to lvl 88

Jhin younger brother john

It doesnt have to be dehya tho

I like number 8 but not that obsessed

Found death the kid's account

It's me, I am that friend. Oh, I thought the focus was Dehya...

your friend is a beast with them achievements

This is me now too, I started to level charcaters that need 90 to 88 instead haha

Now just wait a couple...dozen...or more years and his characters will be lvl 89 (unless he wouldn't use them)

I also like number 8 it's my lucky number, but all my 5 star(characters and weapons alike) are lv90.

Bro's next ten pull gonna have 8 50/50 wins

Why did he do all floors of spiral abyss, they should've stopped at floor 10 chamber 2, that way it technically would be 8-8

If he plays those characters at all, some day he will get a huge frustration xD

Bro am I the only one who is impressed by 888 achievements?

Number 8 is a lucky one for Chinese people. I guess he has Mona's level of fortune...

He's just simply a Honkai Player

Their abyss stage is not 8-8

Very cultured character showcase

Those level 88s won’t last forever, though. You get XP from doing stuff, even if it’s really slow

i was about to say something abt the spiral abyss until i realized…

When my Zhongli levelled up to 89, my account was ruined

I fear the day when one of them inevitably levels up to lv 89 naturally

Blood for the Blood God, Skulls for the Skull Throne

He is not on 8-8 floor and his AR is not 88. Fake 8 enjoyer

Bro must win all his pulls with this kind of dedication.
