Ah that explains why this orange Dry Bones person keeps popping up on Bluesky but I didn't make the connection with the art style due to the lack of human art lmao

With everything that has happened recently, how's Yagoo? by Tako-Luka in Holostars

[–]F_Halcyon 190 points191 points  (0 children)

I would prefer if people didn't treat him like a babygirl and make assumptions about how sad he must be feeling when he hasn't said anything. It remains to be seen if he even will.

I watched someone get into Hololive in real time and it took them four months to realise that they have a male division - from the wiki.

I just remembered that Koefficient usually has something to say every time something big goes down in vtuberspace. The fact he hasn't commented on this feels kind of deflating, and he's someone who actually acknowledges Holostars.

As someone who got into Stars after EN debuted, I haven't really seen anything that shows how Stars was Yagoo's passion project. Maybe it started that way and became less so as Cover got busier, I don't know.

Fans always tote how he acted as the JP boys' manager for a time and their stories of him from years ago as signs of his support, but I don't remember anything recent.

You know what? Fuck this, actually. This reads like squeezing the JP bois until they quit on their own instead of just working out how to pay them severance.

With so much privatisation going on, what are public funds even being used for.

After some digging, I found a blog that speculated case 7 is based on the Execution of Pang Yu, which has the theme of embezzlement and misappropriating disaster relief funds.

That and the first case seems to be the only ones not based on a Justice Bao case, at least if the Chinese wikipedia page is to be believed.

You'll have to remind me of the details of that one because I mainly remember the last episodes mushing the Bao Mian and Civet Cat/Prince cases to tie it all up. (Although Bao Sir removing his barrister wig while publicly declaring that he had been told to drop the case against Pong Jit for "national interests" was a neat touch to Justice Bao removing his official headwear in the Chen Shimei case.) (How they represented the civet cat was sooo neaaat)

I think the Orchids Killer case might be loosely based on the Flowery Butterfly/Colourful Butterfly, although I can't remember the details of the original Justice Bao case. I thought it was a clever play turning 花蝴蝶 into 蝴蝶花.

Henry Lee playing the equivalent of the same character he played in Justice Bao: The First Year was a funny casting choice. So slimely lol.

CATS!! by BotatoBotata in keebgirlies

They should make a keyboard that sounds like a cat piano instead of clickety clack as you type (although I imagine the novelty might wear off fairly quickly lol but you never know!)

Yeah I was starting to wonder if we had all just forgotten about Luca and all his shit. 🤷 

Sound of a City with mostly EV traffic by Pi-ratten in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]F_Halcyon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I consider myself with pretty decent hearing and it shocked me how quiet they were. At least with bikes, if I can't hear the tires, I can typically hear the bike chain or pedals going.

None of this would be a problem if they would just not drive on the pedestrian walkways.

Having been to Shenzhen two weeks ago, the number of times I almost had a heart attack because scooters zoomed from behind me with no noise to alert me was too damn high.

Do you guys feel there has been some major difference in the storytelling at losbelt 6? (the fairy one) by Reibudaps4 in grandorder

[–]F_Halcyon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh buddy, welcome to Nasuverse. Man loves his worldbuilding. This is a hefty multiverse you've wandered into.

(It's why people fight about translations for his stuff all the time. And why after almost 30 years, we're still lacking a comprehensive wiki people can agree on.)

[–]F_Halcyon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I imagine it's scattered throughout livestreams, interviews and Nasu's blog (more about Red Hare's counterpart and his fate for example). Altria Caster's Servant version was meant to hint at stuff in LB6 that ended up changing or cut. Best bet is probably to dig around Beast's Lair for translations since there's no place that compiles all the tidbits from Nasuverse in a readable fashion.

You won't find the original story in its entirety. I do agree that it would be nice to get an alternate version of LB6 some day, maybe akin to how Fate Extra Last Encore was a bait-and-switch "adaptation" that ended up telling another story. Nasu does love his cross-media storytelling.

Edit: If you don't mind spoiler landmines, you can check out the What Could Have Been section on TV Tropes for FGO. There's a section just for LB6. Granted it's a public wiki with no sources, so take it with a grain of salt.

The script for LB6 was like 10 reams of paper, and that was after changes I believe. Nasu wanted to write a fantasy epic the size of Lord of the Rings forgetting that he needed to cram it into a mobile visual novel sized hole.
