The closest thing to a step-by-step guide I found is this page on github: https://github.com/Adamya-Gupta/HomeServer-Guide

It also comes with a script for automating the whole process. However, there aren't any reviews so I'm wary of trusting it.

This house was renovated by the previous owner ~8 years ago. As you can see, the paint is chipping and peeling. Do I repaint it the same way one would repaint a fence? Some people say that you're supposed to sand and powerwash first, others say that you don't need to sand, etc. Do I need to apply primer as well?

I was looking at Arcane's model when I flipped to Rossi and realized that they both have this "segmented cloak" design, in which the "flowy" part of their cloaks (not sure what to call it) consist of separate long strips that connect at the shoulders - if viewed from above, it would look like rays of cloth radiating out from their collar. Said strips have zippers, suggesting that they can be joined together if the user desires. Similarly, the sleeves themselves appear to be shorter versions of these strips, which either loosely lie on top of the arms or can be zippered around the arm to form a proper sleeve tube.

Variations of this can be seen on some of the other characters: Gibby's strips are longer and wider, Tang^(2)'s are smaller and cover less of her body, LR's are subdivided into two groups of two strips, Endmin's overlaps with each other, and Wulfguard's start at his waist/hips instead of his collar and he prefers to keep them zipped together.

What are your thoughts on this, both in-story and out-of-story? Do you think there's a theme that the game designers are trying to convey? It's interesting to me because the style of the first game was 20th/21st-century "tacticool" gear, so I'm interested in how the art/character direction has changed in Endfield and whether there's a meaning behind it.

IRL, kids have a blend of their parents' traits. This is straightforward because most humans are born with two eyes, one nose, one mouth, etc.

In Arknights, the existence of animal/sarkaz features would make for some really weird combinations (e.g. simultaneously having crest feathers, horns, cat ears, and human ears). Since I haven't seen anyone like that, I assume that most people take after only one parent. How is it determined? Is it just random?

Fun fact: I checked Arcane's model and I couldn't find human ears. Those tufts on the side of her head (different from the crest feathers on top of her head) are probably her actual ears. This is strange because >!her parents have human ears, as pictured. Maybe that trait skipped a generation.!<
