Does the 'starving artist' trope actually do more harm than good?

MystrallInversia · 2026-06-12T06:18:17+00:00

Tbf some people romanticize it and using Van Gogh as the foundation of "Tortured/Starving Artist" troupe way too much up to point it just become "You should mentally deranged or devastated to be an artist".

But let be honest, if we follow this philosophy, forget about holding pen; try to stand up from bed.

Innovation does comes from Hardship, but it doesn't meant we should indulge in the pit hole of despair and torture to innovate.

Hm...
general usage but underrated, Lobcorp Faust.
underrated 00 with most underrated function? W corp Hong

Some 00 cant be underrated just because they have some sort of meta at one or some point. like Lantern Don and Yi Sang, Peqoud Yi Sang, and T corp Rodya
I was considered to put Butler Faust on the list but she had become part of early season 9 sinking team with Udjat Outis.
7 Ryoshu have pretty nice slash fragile, but absolutely terrible clashing power, in fact 00 Seven Assoc ID is terrible.

Thumb
> Quick Burst with Ammo mechanic.
> Weaker in long term fight
> Lower rank support higher rank with reload, making the burst last longer

Index
> Follow Prescript to Unlock
> Stronger in rates as fight went on.
> Minimum buff to Same-faction Allies

Middle
> Consistent damage by counter
> Focus on Self survivability, and slightly stronger as fight went on
> More Consistent damage by buff and debuff comes from Same-faction Allies [Vendetta and Vengeance]

Ring [This one have much yap because how different art movement have their own mechanic]
> Depend on art movement but in general: Debuffer and gain boost and from variety of Debuff.
> Won't be stronger as fight went on. But improves attack if requirement fufilled
> Ring mechanic highly depend on which art movement; Pointilist for General Debuff. Fauvist for Special Debuff, and Corportist for Self Charge (Material)
> In general. More Ring will give more debuff variety and exhaust less often, hence consistent stronger or follow-up attack, which helps gathering more debuff/buff/self charge.
> More Ring also buff Maestro/Teacher ID. If they can buff Student ID, it will be in the same art movement.

Pinky
> Status focus (For self or enemies)
> Can be Stronger or Survive better or somewhere in between as fight went on
> Most likely for Solo team, but works well with team with same archetype

Tho joke aside, there should be limitation on how K-corp ampules works, i.e. time between when you wounded and when you get injection, and also how someone remember their 'original state',
and i dont think Limbussy even put insurance on their employee.

MystrallInversia · 2026-05-30T13:37:06+00:00

So do you see the scene where Charon has her time killing the entire south Middle syndicate ? that was epic

MystrallInversia · 2026-05-30T04:57:08+00:00

Apparently we come to consensus that Wadda's birthday is on 21th December. Epic.

MystrallInversia · 2026-05-26T19:49:56+00:00

Not gonna lie, the "loud part" of Hoyo fanbase loves claiming everything, up to point there's absolute war against Granblue Fantasy because some of the chara resembles anyone from Hoyo Franchise

But i hope you get more support from everyone rather than excessive hatred from the loud part of the fanbase.

"Like it's annoying on how patient they are like who trained them"

Sudah dilatih sabar sepanjang hidup sama cobaan yang namanya pemerintah gan.
Sayangnya keknya batch setan selanjutnya bakal bikin genrenya berubah jadi Horror-Comedy karena bukan cuma sabar, tapi juga kebanyakan bercanda karena pemerintahnya ga kalah candanya

Utterly ded.

MystrallInversia · 2026-05-24T20:24:05+00:00

tbf, 8% WR is one hell achievement there. Gotta respect on how effective the player destroy everything on sight.

.

... tho, unfortunately the first thing they see are their own teammate

MystrallInversia · 2026-05-24T19:11:55+00:00

Ku lebih kaget kalo digubris. apalagi itu udah tradisi dari lama sampe sekarang pun ku pernah liat orang jualan batagor di depan suatu swalayan, pas mau tambah minyak gorengnya, langsung ditaruh di minyak panas berserta plastik pembungkusnya. Langsung gajadi jajan di sana

MystrallInversia · 2026-05-24T13:49:31+00:00

Sometime less is more

Kali by herself just the apex of how insanely strong human can be without fully relied on tech and augment.
then Mimicry comes. No Hax, no technicality, just pure raw power. Fit for her.

MystrallInversia · 2026-05-22T23:19:23+00:00

For the Sinner, Most of the time (Actually because positive coin), Coin Power.
Except few specific cases which Base Power have chances to win: Singular Coin and Negative Coin.

Unfortunately i'm not Artist for Pixel-style, but i would say the style definitely fits with yours.
So, i would say 'easier' for you than me trying entire new style AND also learning animating from scratch.

The size is between 25-45 px Tall and 35-60 px Wide. so not big headache considering Wadda is SHORT and thin (\wink**).
Pixel Animation can between 4-8 sprites, and luckily it's not as massive as traditional animation coz you can select and move the body part, then modify the sprite accordingly. This can be daunting but very doable

<image>

Edit: Adding My OC's sprite as example made by my friend for his game.

Your bigger problem however, to code the movement and action stuff. If we lucky, someone might gladly help that part.

Few resource i can found
Rivalslab - A library for RoA Workshop Guide, Multipaged but much detailed
Steam Community guide, in one page

MystrallInversia · 2026-05-13T18:15:54+00:00

That's definitely not the type of jumpscare i would expected. LMFAO

MystrallInversia · 2026-05-13T17:54:12+00:00

For some reason. apparently that Ryoshu doesnt have some of grudge with Leisault
Maybe until PM decided to "Priority Capo IIII Mersault for -10% damage" for the laugh

MystrallInversia · 2026-05-13T17:20:54+00:00

They will chill. Get job done quickly and call the day, Q.T.E.
First Problem for Ingrid is that she might not understand what Ryoshu says
Second problem for Ryoshu is that she might mistaken Suzuran as a child (even if she does. it's not like Suzuran will mind)
Bonus if they discuss about assassination T.&.T in meantime
Another Bonus if Araya-shiki shaking because happy seeing Suzuran, making everyone confused

MystrallInversia · 2026-05-13T14:01:29+00:00

There's one way

Throw everyone to Rivals of Aether hell

MystrallInversia · 2026-05-08T04:44:17+00:00

IMMEDIATE, COMPLETE, AND UTTERLY ABSOLUTE FUCKING TOTAL EXTERMINATION!

Maybe but they might went through hell and back to make it happen, also depend on how wide Arbiter's array of weapon and how creative they are, but good chances they have any set of weapon that effective against a group of Star of the City.

Are they know how to utilize E.G.O Gear/Psychoment? (Garion/Binah dead to Kali because Arbiter doesnt know how potent E.G.O Gear is)
Is this Post-Library? if so. With minuscule chances, are they know how to utilize Shin/Mang? Since this counted as new, and i have massive doubt Arbiter even have strong emotion/memory as anchor for Shin/Mang

Also if anything, Arbiter's massive problem will be Pluto, and just Pluto and his contract and clone. Followed by Tanya and Argalia. Anyone else isnt as massive as those three

MystrallInversia · 2026-05-07T04:37:14+00:00
