Regarding instrument request
It's a G&L Tribute ASAT Classic in Butterscotch Blonde. Effectively a Fender Telecaster. I don't think it being Nina's guitar warrants it a tag of its own, it's exactly the same in body shape, same pickup and control layout and almost identical in headstock shape, probably even designed by the same old Leo Fender.

Fair enough about it maybe not needing a tag, our instrument tagging is pretty messy as-is. However, I'm not too sure about tagging it as a Telecaster if, well, it's not one.

Fun fact, one of the stores in Kawasaki that had a collab sells it for the same 79200 JPY as the one Nina saw in the anime: https://store.shimamura.co.jp/ec/pro/disp/1/mt0145887

    It is a Telecaster through and through. Single cut shape solid body, bolt-on neck, slanted bridge single coil pickup mounted with 3 screws in a boxy metal telecaster bridge, another single coil in the neck, metal strip over control cavity with a 3-way switch and 2 metal knobs, tele-shaped pickguard that goes over the "horn" and doesn't reach all the way to the other side, 6 in-line tuning pegs, etc. Even G&L itself is Leo Fender's 3rd company after he sold Fender and got outed from Musicman, there is not a single reason not to tag this as a Telecaster.

    If it was a novel take on a single cut design (Yamaha's Pacifica 1230S or Schecter's PT-7/PT-8) or even just different enough from the classic Tele visuals (Pacifica 402S/311S) I would've made a new tag for it already but it is just a classic telecaster no matter how you look at it. Why should there be 2 tags that are identical to each other?

    I wish we also could get rid of the Psychomaster tag too, just tag it Jazzmaster and that's it, it's a jazzmaster through and through

    Explain it in topic #18405 then. As muchas I agree it's just a clone though, there's some minor but distinctive visual differences, and IMO it'd feel weird to treat them as th same because of that. Furthr discussion should probably go in that forum thread though.

    There's a lot of lack of references to the base game in particular places where they easily could have in general

    I feel it's a pretty deliberate decision, but nonetheless I agree some Melina dialogue could have gone a long ways

    It really is a giant waste that Melina isn't used for ANYTHING in the DLC. It would've at least been nice to hear her speak of Messmer or the Final Boss.

    Not just that - there are NO NPC/boss interactions between DLC and base game whatsoever. It feels like a separate, standalone game. Think of the wasted narrative potential - Melina doesn't appear in DLC, doesn't comment on anything even though she should have, neither Malenia nor the gay twink groomer brother of hers react to each others' gear when you fight them, and those are the obvious ones. For a game that tries to sell itself on its "unique" narrative, I'm thoroughly disappointed in the story part of the DLC.

    Can I get the context for this?

    Genshin Impact and Duolingo are running a colab. Also Shelley Duvall, the actress from The Shining which has the scene this image is based off of (HERE'S JOHNNY!) died yesterday.
