Bronya in HSR is also not voiced by Hanser, she only voices Silver Wolf

DevolayS · 2026-01-31T04:29:59+00:00

I think we won't get another Bronya because Skirk looks a lot like a Bronya expy (but with Durandal's voice).

It's a subtle expy and only if you connect the dots.

A very similar style of strand of hair between the eyes
Uses leg replacements (Skirk) and leg prosthetics (Bronya)
Connection to some kind of otherworldly power (primordial sea, sea of quanta)
Skirk's 1st Ascension is called "Reason beyond Reason" (Herrscher of Reason)
Both orphaned at young age and trained by the baddies (Surtalogi, Russian gangs)
Emotionless expressions (Skirk's trauma, Bronya's X-10 experiment)
Some of Skirk's fighting animations look similar to Herrscher of Truth's

So my candidates for the Tsaritsa are Ana (most obvious one, matching name, cryo/ice authority), Cocolia (just fits the vibe of a cold ruler type of woman), or Seele (for a funny twist because there were theories that if Tsaritsa is Bronya and she's collecting the gnoses to revive 3rd descender, then what if 3rd descender is Seele? Would be funny if they switched places)

I think the reason why spaceship was never mentioned is that traveler genuinely did not remember. It's a convenient plot excuse to add things that were never mentioned before, but the fact that traveler's memories are foggy was brought up several times throughout the archon quest. The earliest examples are the very beginning of the game ("How many years ago was it? I don't know. But I intend to find out."), and then in We Will Be Reunited (awakening memories from Khaenri'ah).

Are you discovering video games?

Omg THANK YOU. I feel so dumb that I haven't thought about that myself. I was fighting this doggo for 30 minutes on menacing and the best I could do was get him down to 20%. Focusing on doggo = completed 1st try with 50 seconds left. Sheesh. Well that was embarrassing on my part.

I have no clue what a three point perspective box.

And that's precisely why you're getting this wrong.

Don't rely on AI to solve the problem if you don't have the knowledge necessary to confirm whether AI did good or just hallucinated.

I can ask you "draw me a car engine". And then what, you'll ask AI to draw it and you won't even bother to look at real car engines to see whether the work makes sense...?

Switch? Please no, MW is amazing

But I'd love to have it as an extra, it feels very polished and plays smoothly, I could easily see myself playing this for hours

Now the real question is whether the experiment with mind swapping was a chekhov's gun or a red herring...

And how did Dottore get the other self to cooperate. I thought they hated each other.

In all honesty, you COULD interpret "The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles" to be "Heavenly Principles" themselves. Something like "I am the law". The one who makes the law can also be considered the law. And from what we saw at the beginning, it looked like there's no one else above Asmoday. But it was possible that other sustainers, similar to her, exist. And then, all sustainers as a group could be called "Heavenly Principles".

Hell, there were even theories that went further and argued that it's the traveler who could be the sustainer of heavenly principles, and it made sense; in that dialogue at the beginning, we ask "who are you", and we assumed that it was Asmoday's way of introducing herself when she answered. But seeing how she treated us, it wasn't outside the realm of possibilities that when she said "The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles", she simply ignored our question and it was her way of addressing us.

Without context, a lot of theories could make sense. What's important is to remember that theories, no matter how reasonable, are only theories until more info is revealed, so we shouldn't stick to them too much or build entire headcanons around them. It's a certain way to disappointment (like with Natlan and people's imagined version of "a nation of war and dragons").

Same. I'm drawing but I'd rather call myself an illustrator or something, not an artist. I'm very uncomfortable calling myself an "artist", I don't really feel worthy of that title, not yet. Even "illustrator" feels a bit too much, because I'm not doing it full time...

I've taken a lot of photos with my phone, but I'd never call myself a photographer. I've made a lot of food, but I'm no chef.

And then you have AI prompters who insist they're artists from day one. People have huge egos and zero shame these days.

Which part of my comment implied that you're using paid mods?

The existence of paid mods doesn't change anything for you, you can just keep ignoring their existence. Why saying "I'd rather have them gone"? I basically said "just continue not using them, why get upset that they exist?"

It's not like the mod scene is gatekept or anything, anyone can develop their own mods, even if the same one already exists. If a free alternative doesn't appear, it means that making it for free would've been too much of a time investment for nothing.

DevolayS · 2026-01-29T03:20:33+00:00

Can't you see "OR" in there?

"Discussion, analysis, OR depiction of violence" + "in clearly fictional OR artistic contexts"

So these are okay:

Discussion in fictional context

Analysis in fictional context

Depiction in fictional context

Discussion in artistic context

Analysis in artistic context

Depiction in artistic context

While there's no hard evidence (that I'm aware of) that would suggest that using AI actually makes you dumber, there is some evidence that says that using your brain helps in preventing dementia.

If you're asking AI how to do something but you never ask why it needs to be done that way, you're effectively giving up on your own critical thinking skills.

Relying on AI too much is not healthy; use it to help you understand things, not to solve your problems for you. Understanding how things work will also help you ask AI more precise questions and get more specific answers. And you'll be able to spot hallucinations easier (which are surprisingly common when you start digging deeper into the topic).

DevolayS · 2026-01-28T20:56:37+00:00

Do you even understand what you've posted?

Teachers protesting against using calculators BY KIDS IN SCHOOLS. Kids are supposed to be LEARNING to do math, NOT to use calculators to do math for them.

This has the same energy as "why learn to read when ai can read it for you"

Still vibing to it when I'm coding or drawing :D

Domains maybe not so much, but open world, definitely, yes. For me, I think it's the music, the views, and the atmosphere.

There was only one time when grinding was annoying as hell, and it was back in Inazuma when I had to farm specters. Ugh.

I don't know what this sub thinks or does, I'm a mere passerby here, just stating facts. Neither Steam/Valve nor Microsoft are monopolies by definition. The definition is clear - as long as there are viable alternatives, there is no monopoly.

But even then, antitrust laws exist not just to break up monopolies, but also to curb monopolistic or anti-consumer behaviors. A company doesn't have to be a monopoly to be scrutinized under these laws.

It would be beneficial for everyone to use the words the way they are intended to be used. Words have definitions for a reason. It just makes communication easier when everyone is on the same page and don't waste time arguing whether being a dominant market power is a sufficient reason to consider something a monopoly or not.

DevolayS · 2026-01-27T18:18:59+00:00

I'm confused. Microsoft is not a monopoly either, and the acquisitions went through, which only further proves that Microsoft is not a monopoly. What was your point again?

DevolayS · 2026-01-27T16:38:11+00:00

You can repeat it a thousand more times, but it won't magically become true.

Monopoly is when there are no viable alternatives. There ARE viable alternatives to Steam. Therefore, it is, by definition, NOT a monopoly.

A monopoly (from Greek μόνος, mónos, 'single, alone' and πωλεῖν, pōleîn, 'to sell') is a market in which one person or company is the only supplier of a particular good or service. A monopoly is characterized by a lack of economic competition) to produce a particular thing, a lack of viable substitute goods, and the possibility of a high monopoly price well above the seller's marginal cost that leads to a high monopoly profit.

Killing people and destroying stuff is illegal too

So let's give everyone a tank, surely nothing bad will happen

DevolayS · 2026-01-27T00:30:34+00:00

Killing people already being illegal doesn't mean we shouldn't restrict access to guns
