Okay, folks, gather ’round. Today, I’m gonna share with you my little adventure of setting up a countdown for Firefly’s release in Honkai: Star Rail. I heard the buzz, saw the dates, and thought, “Why not make the wait a bit more fun?”
So, first things first, I had to pin down the release date. After digging through some forums and official announcements, it became clear: June 18, 2024. That’s when Firefly is supposed to grace us with her presence in the game. Phase 1 of version 2.3, they said. I also saw something about a livestream on April 26. Man I jot that down – freebies are always welcome!
With the date in my head, I started brainstorming how I wanted to go about this countdown. I figured a simple visual timer would do the trick, something I could glance at every now and then to fuel my excitement.
Next, I dusted off my old coding skills. It’s been a while, but it all came back pretty quickly. I decided to use a basic HTML page with some JavaScript for the timer. Nothing too fancy, just something to get the job done.
- Create an HTML file.
- Set up a div for the countdown display.
- Write some JavaScript to calculate the time remaining until June 18.
- Display the days, hours, minutes, and seconds.
- Make it update every second.
I spent a good chunk of the afternoon fiddling with the code, fixing bugs, and tweaking the display. There were a few hiccups, of course, like when I accidentally set the countdown to go off in the past. That was a good laugh.
After a few trial runs, I finally got it working perfectly. Now, I have a neat little countdown timer ticking away, reminding me of Firefly’s impending arrival. And you know what? It’s actually pretty fun to watch the seconds tick by, knowing we’re getting closer to her release.
What else I found
Oh, and in my travels across the internet, I also stumbled upon some interesting tidbits about Firefly. Apparently, she’s a Fire and Destruction character, which sounds pretty badass. There’s also talk about her banner being released on June 19 with Ruan Mei. And get this – some folks are saying Gallagher, Yukong, and Misha will be featured as 4-star characters. Now that’s a party I wouldn’t want to miss!
Anyway, that’s my little story about setting up a Firefly countdown. It wasn’t a huge project, but it definitely made the wait a bit more bearable. If you’re as hyped for Firefly as I am, maybe you can try setting up your own countdown too. It’s a fun little way to pass the time and keep the excitement going!
