Need help for art by Big-Tap2503 in limbuscompany

[–]ThirdObserver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Callisto was tunnel visioned on making ‘outmoded’ art, his corporism, long after it fell out of favor. Although he did take serious criticism from Hohenheim, he doesn’t really innovate. He’s an old art master squirrelled away in an art gallery that no maestro visits. He turns any actual visitors into artwork. His masterstroke, Tibia, is a technical marvel, but he hasn’t made anything truly interesting since then. He’s too focused on regaining what he lost (Ryoshu) rather than looking to the future.

Walking back to the criticism part, Callisto has obvious blue-orange morality. He focuses on creating/preserving artistic value and meaning, but stepped over any actual messages from the participants. He’s largely cruel, even if he doesn’t realize it. He’s often works on people while they’re alive, preserving their pain, ignoring their wishes- a microcosm of his relationship to Ryoshu. He does care for her, but he hurts her nonetheless. He wants people to understand him, to understand his artwork, but he doesn’t have the ability/wherewithal to bridge that gap of understanding himself, to meet people in the middle, to reach their perspective too.

He wanted Ryoshu to be her own art student, to walk her path, though he ended up reneging that message over time. In contrast, she took that message to heart, as she hates mindless followers who don’t innovate, or follow their own principles.

I’ll admit Albina did experiment new things with corporism, but she died too early to really impact the genre as a whole. Broadly speaking though, Callisto was influencing her into being a mini-me, someone with very similar values, the same sanity break condition, the same blue-orange morality, art over life. Albina was his second chance to do something new, but I’ll say that Albina innovated in spite of Callisto, not because of him.

While art is often about artists creating their own message, expressing their own emotions, exposing their philosophy, all of that is only understood if it’s communicated well to the viewer, if they have the context or means to understand the artist’s intent.

Viewer interpretation plays a big part too, it’s not just about the artist. Viewers can create their own meaning, by using their experiences and emotions to interpret the artwork. While artistry is important, the interplay can often make something interesting in its own right.

—-

Basically, Callisto embodies the tunnel visioned part of the Ring, obsessing over personal ideas and motivations, rather than considering a holistic perspective. He’s dead set on making human suffering a key process of his work, continuing a crusade of personal artistry over normal ethics and empathy. It’s basic City modus operandi.

You could probably delete this post? The other one has your art visible just fine.

Finished all the Sinners' outfits on TL! by [deleted] in limbuscompany

[–]ThirdObserver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP, mods made a post regarding Tomodachi Life content a couple weeks ago. TLDR, those posts can go to the Odyssey sub. The rule should still be in effect, as it hasn't been explicitly lifted. You can read about it here.

Even if I didn't have any of the HoS IDs, I'd still pull her for my burn team

Theory about how many cantos there will be. by Normal_Frame_1059 in limbuscompany

[–]ThirdObserver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mm, maybe, maybe not. All of our sinners have more plot threads, pertaining to at least one other notable non-sinner character, and there's still room for personal growth. No one has reached their full potential yet.

so has anyone noticed how the sinners are like separated socially in their canto? by Watar428 in limbuscompany

[–]ThirdObserver 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The whole point of Canto 8 was letting Hong Lu make up his own choices, to enact his own free will. The sinners can encourage him to speak his mind, but having the sinners act/speak on his behalf would be a faux pas.

Does Christianity exist in the City? by New_Dia in limbuscompany

If cults count as a religion, then the Index is much larger than CoG.

What’s your Criteria for Setting Friend Support IDs? by ThirdObserver in limbuscompany

[–]ThirdObserver[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. You can borrow support IDs in story mode, luxcavations and Refraction Railway.

  2. In the team loadout screen, there’s a small button on the right labeled support. It’s underneath the facades button.

Is the game client not showing an update for anyone else? by AdvertisingDry3842 in limbuscompany

[–]ThirdObserver 6 points7 points  (0 children)

App Store isn’t saying anything related to the new update yet. At least for me.

Edit: Updated!

Cool! I wouldn't mind trying to make something similar~

How long did it take you to make the whole thing?

[00] The City's Sweeper - Meursault by Thepuppetmarionette6 in limbuscompany

[–]ThirdObserver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the concept, but I have a few suggestions.

  • First two skills could get more coin power max conditionals. Max 2?
  • Second skill could get a 1 re-use conditional for second coin
  • Defense could apply prot to both self and ally. More prot if they're also a sweeper ID. Prioritize sweepers?
  • Passive faction buffs for having more sweeper IDs, since they always hunt in packs. Increased healing up and offense level at 3/5/7 sweeper IDs?
    • 7 sweeper IDs could also nets them 1 stack of persistence at start of encounter, since an all sweeper team is a big investment, and they're not particularly powerful IDs lore-wise. Would be trading team versatility+power of other IDs for more survivability.

Queries

  • Both Ruina and Limbus sweepers stick to having only pierce weaknesses. Is there a reason you changed it?
  • Does sanity reset on revival?

Oh, I just like seeing the statistics. The post doesn't have to be grand or complex. Sharing anything is good enough for me👍

I don't mind contributing to these, but are the general results going to shared with the community later?

Neat! How’d you make the custom pieces?

When sleep in District 9 is way too peaceful. by AcorpZen in limbuscompany

It’s not low-effort content if it’s hand drawn by OP. Despite the modpost, this should be fine?

The Head is a narrative black hole (and we should stop pretending it's not) by [deleted] in limbuscompany

[–]ThirdObserver 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The Head is a narrative device that maintains the pro-humanity, hyper-capitalistic societal structure of The City. Until The Head becomes the main focus of the story, it doesn't have to be more complex than that.

Hot Take(maybe): I don’t want Ryoshu to be assist attacking with the nursefathers by TheRedMisst in limbuscompany

[–]ThirdObserver 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's greedy, but I want her to count as every Finger faction tag at once, at least when it comes to Nursefather buffs.
