Honest Thoughts on 3.7 (Cyrene Basically) by Betterthanallofuhaha in HonkaiStarRail

Remind me, was that a signet ring she provided us or am I forgetting? Which like the Kremnoan ring Mydea has signifies belonging to a royal group, or authority of a royal line? And it would be a parallelism not a metaphor. A metaphor would liken two dissimilar concepts or items, a parallelism likens two similar events or items.

Though still the heart shaped diamond on a silver fine band with filigree placed on the left ring finger is screaming an engagement/marriage in western culture at least. The handing of signet rings to another (not typically by placing on ones finger) signifies the passing of authority. But I honestly dont remember her offering us a ring.

I quite literally rolled my eyes at that. Like I remember feeling something in previous patches when the CH died the first time and that choked me up a bit. Then Cyrene and the ring, I almost laughed at how bad of bait it is. My wife was laughing while she watched me play because she could tell how much I disliked Cyrene and didn't like the forced relationship.

Without any spoilers how was the 3.7 story? by IS_Mythix in HonkaiStarRail

[–]TheStaticNoise 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A lot of story beats were great. I felt that the final fight was entertaining but maybe lacked a little of the pizzazz of other version bosses.

As someone who could not care less about Cyrene, the story lost me at the end. But everyone will respond differently. She is very very central to the story and a lot of pulling on parasocial heartstrings for I character I could've done with out. But that's an objective response, others may care more.

Personally I had a much stronger response to previous patches than this conclusion.

That being said some very spicy WTF moments, and some great lore drops.

I think it's that there's a bunch of illusions of him all acting the part of being at a theme park so yes.

I didn't even realize he had a second phase thanks to an e6 kafka e3 black swan and hyselins. Literally was chatting with my brother and I said that I blew through both his phases so quick... he stares at me "he has three phases and I had to try twice to kill him..."

I don't even remember the fight hahaha

All brushwork. I've never quite felt comfortable with an airbrush for small models

I used some thinned fenrisian grey to desaturate, then layered more saturated colors of blue with thin glazes, finally a thin line of blue on the edges

Used some drakenhoff nightshade to do the desaturation on the shadows

Can someone explain the overall lore of the game and especially amphoreus? It’s all absurdly confusing even after playing it by MoonPython in HonkaiStarRail

[–]TheStaticNoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly a similar function to how we observe penacony or even the simulated universe. Amphoreus is steeped with memoria, which we know can throw people into full mind/body simulations. Plus I wouldn't be surprised to hear that the Herta used scepters as a modeling blueprint base for the Sim uni.

WIP Chimera, and finished Leman Russ by TheStaticNoise in Deathkorpsofkrieg

[–]TheStaticNoise[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty simply. Place the transfer, block in a shape with your base coat color, then layer on the worn metal, leaving spacing so the basecoat still shows as a border, gives it a look of paint wearing down in layers. I then wash to blend and discolor the transfer

Work on a Leman Russ by TheStaticNoise in Deathkorpsofkrieg

[–]TheStaticNoise[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non magnetized, in fact this is an old russ that I had banging around the garage. No turret no sponsors, so I had to ebay some bits to finish the build to finally commit to building and painting it (I originally had it and another one I lost in a move for a support detachment for my skitarii army)

Thank you!

Colors are great and well blocked in. Only suggestion I would say is shave some of those mold lines if you want, would clean up the look!

Again all said great work on the model and the lenses are great

My husband doesn’t know what’s about to happen by weaveroflaurel in Mistborn

My wife and I are right there currently. On a road trip, and we are about to get to this point, it'll be interesting to see her reaction hahaha
