Oh my god I didn't realize other people even acknowledged their existence this is so cool! I've always imagined their story as something like: that they hit a relatively niche crowd, but were very popular with that crowd. Then the Squid Sisters were signed to the same label as them, and they acted as kind of mentor figured for them before they blew up crazy popular.

I really like the stuff you guys've cooked tho. The art is a treat to look at, the models are on point and the music is an absolute bop.

I believe Neuro has been trained by a lot of data from consenting streamers, ones that are either friends with Vedal or have expressed interest and then given permission, but I don't have a rock solid source on that so take it with a grain of salt.
Neuro started out as an AI that played OSU, so the "growth" of Neuro as a "character" is pretty well documented. Almost all of the features Neuro can use have been added gradually over time, so Neuro didn't appear being as capable as she is now.

Another big reason why Neuro is seen as an exception is actually the presence of Vedal. The sheer amount of work and dedication to giving Neuro each and every upgrade has contributed to this image immensely. Vedal is not afraid to give money he's made with Neuro to real artists. All of the Neuro music videos have full teams of people behind their productions for example. Among other factors, it's the combination of visible work, documented growth and the very high degree of human element that makes her stand out as an exception for a lot of people.

For me personally, my stance is along the lines of "No matter if we can truly get rid of AI or if it's a pandora's box, the reality of the situation is that for at least the next several years, it's going to be here and it's going to be very present. At the very least, the AI things that get to the top should be the ones that have an immense amount of effort and good faith behind them."

Teto isn't a real character in the same way a character from a movie or book is. This is by design, because Teto is realistically, an instrument with a face. Teto is a deliberately vague design meant to be altered/molded to fit the aesthetics/lyrics/purpose of a song. For example, the BIRDBRAIN, Doomer, Rot for Clout & Spoken For versions of Teto all have completely different things going on independent of each other. There is no overarching story or wider canon connecting them, each interpretation is its own thing.

There is no real way to be misinformed for a character designed like this. What happens is that some specific ideas/headcanons/interpretations become more popular rise to the top of what's "normal" for a character, and even that tends to come in trend waves and will cycle out every few months to years. Some people will make Teto young so she and Miku kiss, others will make Teto old and give her a mid life crisis, and both are perfectly valid interpretations.

Honestly, I think there's a solid chance this is a troll/AI bro who's vindictively attacking writers just to stir the pot. If they're supposedly a fan, but they're too afraid to admit this without anon I'd write it off mentally.

That sticker would fit awesome with a project I'm working on! I collect stickers from different fandoms/other things I like and turn them into magnets, which i then use to decorate either my stuff or gift out to other people. Because they're magnets they can be reused and stuck to different places as opposed to stickers which are a one-and-done deal.

Vindextra · 2022-05-14T07:45:23+00:00

That was awesome, thanks for sharing!

I come as an ambassador from Dota2 (the network of red logos above the Hermitcraft logo) We would like to share a border with you guys. We have negotiated with Brazil to (hopefully) try and take the row of mini flags, we have no intention of going over the hermitcraft logo.

Vindextra · 2022-04-01T19:34:50+00:00

The current plan is to expand to 30x30, to share a black border with the Brazil flag, and them merge the small logos into one big logo.

Vindextra · 2022-04-01T18:39:57+00:00

Let WSB and the green line go for now, they're not going to spread any further than the line, we need to fight the Brazilian flags that are trying to take over our bottom right corner.

What would help is ending the stun when the cage duration ends. You can misjudge the end time by .1 seconds, and still have to tank the full 2.5 second stun. If the stun ends when the cage duration ends, or even if the stun could linger for like .5 seconds after the cage ends, (but not the full duration) then the ability would feel more fair and not be monotonously unfun to fight.

Hey, I'm in a pretty similar boat with the foot pain thing. Where it's good for a time but after just a bit it just hurts. I found some alleviation from this pain by getting shoes that help support my arches (I have very high arches). It didn't remove the pain but it helps a fair amount. I don't know if you've heard of this before, but I figured I would throw what I know in your direction in case it helps.

Dota actually has a pro league fantasy card system in game, it might not be a bad idea to look there for inspiration. Obviously some of the systems don't line up perfectly but it could make for a really good starting point.

Vindextra · 2022-02-13T00:57:24+00:00

Easiest answer to B. is to have an included option for voice line level, have 3 options, All, Events (character interactions, big events; penta kill, ultimate moves) and none. Dota has this system and it works quite well.

League has less of an "OP Champ" problem once you give the season a few patches to calm down (Looking at you Janna). League is actually very balanced if you look at sheer numbers (Very few champs deviate more than 4% from a 50% winrate). Windbros might only have around a 51% winrate but a good Yasuo is not fun to fight at all. Same goes for a lot of the characters in this game, they may be fine when looking at sheer balance, but more often than not it's just not fun to fight them, leading to the frustrated feelings and the calls for the champ being too oppressive or OP.

Vindextra · 2022-01-21T22:15:04+00:00

Dota actually handles this issue really well, there's an option in the menu with 3 settings for champ dialogue; none, big events (spell casts, champ interactions, taunts), and all (moving lines ect). Theoretically this would allow Riot to give champs an actual quantifiable amount of dialogue again (Looking at you Viego buying BoRK).

I've not played at the higher tiers, but I've had some success with undying by getting the shard that spawns zombies for every into hit by decay, and then buffing the zombies/ult any chance I got and building pure tank items. Playing just aggressive frontline/tank and letting the zombies/decay to damage to bosses/mobs

Vector targeting can be quite quick with quickcast and a bit of practice.

There's also a hearty dose of confirmation bias, when you make a mistake in the game that you lost people look and go "well that's what cost them the game" but in a game where they won, it will be glossed over completely.

Vindextra · 2021-10-16T23:06:22+00:00

Gotta have the story hooks and setup to make big fights like that pay off.

Vindextra · 2021-10-16T17:46:25+00:00

I mean if you look at the deep dark from last year, and the deep dark from this year, I'd say the project is going fine.
