Just a random thought that I got after today's stream.

As you know, Oswaldo Schneider is the current head of IPC Marketing Development Department and he alongside his department are infamous for many different horrible things like aggressive expansionism, genocide and etc

As of recent we know that Marketing Development is responsible for getting the bioweapon to Planarcadia (from what I remember it wasn't supposed to be Shuhu flesh).

In 4.3 in the conversation between Pearl and Yao Guang about rumors circling about IPC there was one which basically says (I'm paraphrasing) that the Marketing Development is in kahoots with the Destruction.

In the Livestream that was today, we saw Planarcadia citizens trying make their signal reach Astropolis, but someone was trying to interfere and block it... like if someone didn't want the IPC to know about Qlipoth's arch nemesis flesh awakening. Turned out it was two dudes working for Oswaldo.

So what if as the title says, Oswaldo Schneider is actually an agent of Archforger? What if Archforger wants to provocate another Borderstar Trade War ?

Question in the title

Question in the title, additionally should I grind for e1 or s1? And if I slap a 4* LC, which one?

Is there a way to get a Bluray of the original Carnival Phantasm (Fate+Tsukihime one)? English subs?

So I've found a cool looking Devil May Cry T-shirt, but I'm wondering if this online clothes shop is a scam or not. I have a sort of deja vu of this... Joom, but I still want to know for sure if it's reliable or not

The new Aventurine, is he truly better than Sparxie for SW999 in well... SW999 teams?

I've asked around and the general consensus was something like "if SW999 isn't e2 Aventurine is better. If SW999 is e2 and further than Sparxie is better"

Question in the title

I have Bluetooth earphones, more precisely these are Moondrop collab earphones with Honkai Star Rail character Robin.

Yesterday they were working just fine, but today only one earphone out of 2 is working, but the other one? It's not.

I had a theory that maybe it's because only one earphone properly charged but, that doesn't seem to be the case. I tried to look through the Moondrop app (equalizer) and apparently it sees both??? Idk how these apps work

My brother told me that it's probably an age thing, but idk

Question in the title.

​

​

I keep seeing some people say many bad things about her translation of Odyssey, others actually saying that it's overhated and is actually not a bad translation.

​

​

From what I could've find, it seems like Emily Wilson isn't stupid? I even heard somewhere that she tried to keep the same number of lines (or something like that? I forgot) as in the original, which I think is impressive? I'm not a poetry expert at all, so people can correct me. She seems like a smart person, so why the controversion?

​

​

So yes, is her translation of Odyssey actually good? Or is it as bad as people say on Internet? I hope that I worded myself correctly

My current Mydei team is : e0s1 Sunday + e6s1 Mydei + e0s5 DDD Tribbie + e6s5 Gallagher with the Luocha 4* LC

Originally instead of Tribbie there was RMC, but I needed a good alternative for them because I can't use Elation MC and RMC at the same time. I failed to pull e1 Tribbie (thank you Fu Xuan) and as of right now it seems like I have a guarantee

So the question of the title , is Mortenax Blade good for my Mydei? Is he better than e0s5 DDD Tribbie at e0?

Just in case : I have e0s1 Cyrene and e0s1 Hyacine but Castorice so I can't use them.

Wasn't sure about the proper flair, but whatever

As you may see, this is not your typical post. Usually people post to share theories and lore analysis and etc... I however today will do the opposite and throw doubt over "Asat = Aha" theory.

This theory isn't very popular (from what I saw) but I still sometimes find people who share it

Anyways, let's go

1. "It would be so Aha for him to be Asat and attempt to destroy themselves to pray a prank on Nanook" I'm paraphrasing, but it's usually what I saw. People attempt to use Aha's chaotic behavior as justification for literally everything including the what you probably heard "Nous on 3.7 wasn't real it was Aha who impersonated Nous" (This is another topic of discussion, not today)

Problem with that is that such logic works only on surface. Why? Because if we look deeper the way how Aha and Asat Pramad make "jokes" is VERY different in core. Aha is pure chaos, unpredictability. In fact Elation is so unpredictable taht it can affect the script.

In Asat Pramad case, his jokes are coldly calculated skin to a chess party. There's no chaos in them at all, it's all part of the plan that can span across YEARS. In Data Bank, we have a proof of this. What proof? The Ogul ring.

I'm gonna just directly quote the source : "Over a century, Asat Pramad advanced his Voidrangers inch by inch, just to force the military line of the resistance into the shape of a single line of text: "Destruction is where laughter ends. It is mourning, not celebration."

As I've said, Asat's "jokes" are coldly planned. This is extremely different from Aha philosophy

2. A variation of this theory is that Asat is a mask of Aha. This theory has more solidity because since 4.0 there is a theme about "masks". Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like Masked Fool masks can "exist" independently from the owner (Sparxie and Sparkle).

My problem I have with this theory is taht it would essentially make Asat Pramad into an Irontomb 2.0. What next? Phantylia is actually Lan's arrow? Zephyro is IX's left arm? Other thing is that the mask is directly tied to you and can't be destroyed at all (I think it can disappear if the owner dies) .

As to discarding... Fullwish basically did that (if I'm not wrong), but it didn't create a separate entity like in Sparkle Sparxie case. So unless Aha deliberately created an entity out of one of the masks... Idk

Oh and also, mask and the user are connected. Although Sparxie is the "mask" and is a separate entity (Maybe) she is still connected to Sparkle. I... don't really know how a mask of THE Aha could lose the connection to an Aeon to become truly independent. Maybe Nanook somehow managed to overwhelm the connection to make Asat truly independent?... Yeah taht still makes him into Irontomb 2.0 ...

I apologize for this massive wall of letters

So I've recently finished my first playthrough as Nero/Dante (it was the devil hunter difficulty)

Ever since I'm trying to play Bloody Palace as Nero, but I keep dying at Berial. How do you stun him and etc? So I would appreciate some tips for Nero in the Bloody Palace

Other than that, do you think it may be that it's a bit too early for me to start Bloody Palace and I should just play on all difficulties (at least until finishing Dante Must Die) before attempting Bloody Palace?

So yeah, I would appreciate tips and advices. I guess for Dante too maybe but I didn't play him much in Bloody Palace

So basically that may sound like a stupid question, but from what I understand Son of Sparda or Legendary Dark Knight are like equivalents of Hard Mode from previous games?

Thing I remember about Hard Mode in previous games is that it allows you to start again but with all your stuff and upgrades. Is it the same here? Or if I click on for example Son of Sparda I start again from scratch without my stuff?

Is Absenti

For those who don't know (won't be surprised he isn't even mentioned in the members list of Masked Fools on Wiki) Absenti is (or was, I don't remember fully) a masked fool mentioned in two readables.

Readable 1 : Bragi resignation letter

https://honkai-star-rail.fandom.com/wiki/Bragi%27s\_Resignation\_Letter

Readable 2 : Non-Random Treasure Map (look for ring of misfortune paragraph)

https://honkai-star-rail.fandom.com/wiki/Non-Random\_Treasure\_Map

In the second readable it is said that the Masked Fool Absenti quote "always shows up uninvited, appearing in the most chaotic and dangerous places. He's obsessed with experiencing brilliant and glorious stories, recording them with his paintbrush".

It's likely be a stretch coming from me, but if we compare Asat Pramad and this guy character... I have a feeling that there's a certain similarity. But that's "feelings theorizing" Lol. After this sequence there is a mention that according to a legend Aha lost the ring to Absenti in a wager. As to what exactly does this ring do, it is described quote "Whenever he wears it, a series of coincidences guides him straight to wherever misfortune lurks".

From what I saw in current story and from what I know and remember it seems like Asat Pramad kinda has some probability manipulation powers??? I'm unsure but that does connect him to the ring and Absenti.

What interests me the most however is the first readable aka Bragi resignation letter. According to the description, its a quote "resignation letter left behind by Bragi, the renowned Masked Fool, after stepping down from her position as a bartender".

Sounds cool? But throw that out, the content of the letter is essentially a resignation letter but in realms of HSR. What however I think is the most important thing is by the end. By the end Bragi mentions Absenti and from the looks of it (how Bragi describes him) it's seems like the guy is a veteran, "I doubt the youngsters even remember my old friend Absenti, once the most joyful Fool of us all"

AND RIGHT AFTER THAT Bragi connects us to the first readable quote "Legend has it he even managed to prank an Aeon". And how did Absenti got in the possession of the ring of misfortune? Exactly, by winning a wager against Aha. Which means that yeah, the pranked Aeon is Aha. Ironic isn't it? The Aeon of Elation and pranks was pranked by a mortal.

After the legend however, Bragi speaks about why Absenti stopped to laugh. "Some say he stopped laughing after hearing all thirty trillion jokes in the universe". However Bragi immediately cancels this opinion and says that in truth that the tavern crowd stopped being funny for him, wasn't funny enough for him anymore. Bragi also claims that Absenti said his farewells to her and spoke about going "to the real edge of the world for a brand new adventure" however at last, he shared a joke.

IMO what I'll quote next doesn't sound really like a joke, but more like disappointment, disgrace towards what's around. It's not even funny

Quote :

"Just look at this tavern. The universe is dying outside, yet everyone stays safe and sound by hiding in here. Elation should have been something magnificent, but these Fools refuse to pay the cost that comes with the joke. Behind their laughter, all I see is the decay and rot of the Second Prosperity."

"Don't you think these people, the ones who don't even know what they're laughing at, are a much bigger joke than anything in the outside world?"

Here we can see how Absenti is dissatisfied with the state of things in Masked Fools ranks. What if the reason why Asat Pramad hates Elation is... that he thinks that Elation brings nothing but moral degradation and degradation overall?

Idk what more to add. I'd say that as much as I like this theory idk if it would really be true since Asat Pramad became a Lord Ravager at least during Graphia lifetime which was long ago. I personally tend to believe he's even older than that. Also it is unclear about in what point of time these two readables were made and in what point of time the described events happened. So yeah, while sounds interesting I have doubts

Как рисовать женщин?

Я понимаю вопрос может быть немного внезапным, но дело в том что я хочу сделать фан-арт Леди из Devil May Cry при помощи акварели и по моим сугубо личным ощущениям мне... не достаёт скилла.

Я конечно могу нарисовать наверное может быть какого-то мужика, но блин я помню когда раньше пытался рисовать женщин у меня получалось... так себе.

Так что да, господа художники помогите советом пж если не сложно
