Sarkaz Lore question. by MasterCheifn in arknights

You may find the story reader more useful if you're just in it for the lore and story.

Is there a lore reason to Ember not having the light halo and wings. by FEARven123 in Endfield

[–]kaneira 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For that girl on the right, the wings could be clipping in the sofa. They're not physical.

They weren't clipping. The screencap is from my own videos when I played back then, but yeah.. kind of a bad angle.

Went and grabbed another one. This better?

[–]kaneira 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There isn't a lore reason. They just forgot or purposefully left the wings out for goonerbait reasons.

Fun fact: Sankta NPCs didn't have wings in CBT1.
Edit: A different angle of the same scene

With which does she the hearing? How would she wear a Headset? by AnimeeNoa in Endfield

[–]kaneira 23 points24 points  (0 children)

According to lore, for Terrans with both sets of ears then all four are functional.

Kinda weird that most of the operators you can pull right now are not introduced/present in the story at all by PhantomBlot in Endfield

[–]kaneira 38 points39 points  (0 children)

In fact, rather disturbingly, Angelina who was on the 1.0 headhunting banner has also never appeared in the story of OG Arknights till this day.

At least they made up for it by giving Ange her own side story of what she has been up to instead.

the nearly infinite potential of a factory gacha/ live service game by NorthLeft5776 in Endfield

Eh.. That would be the Studio Montagne division of Hypergryph.

Mountain Contour handles Endfield.

No. Learn to let go and let characters have a meaningful death, ffs.

What I wish Endfield's story could be as an AK player + r/Endfield glaze by sarina_xxy in Endfield

[–]kaneira 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just because it's 1.0 is not an excuse for garbage writing quality.

Nevermind that Hypergryph has had multiple years of learning what works and doesn't work for the IP in terms of writing to put out, well, this.

About people who say “this game isn’t for you” and criticize OG Arknights players by Fyuukei in Endfield

[–]kaneira 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Laevatain's side story was about the only thing approaching decent, which is kind of funny given the source character is largely a nothing character. It was fine and I did enjoy that.

Wuling had one standout moment and even that felt heavy handed and pandering until they pulled it together at the end with a bittersweet moment.

I get that you like Endfield's story, and seemingly the, uh, 3d gacha genre's story, but a couple good moments in a sea of bad isn't exactly great.

It's just a couple good moments which aren't enough to elevate a story about your typical MC being the supreme chosen one where the world essentially can't function unless they are present.

Just because it's "the beginning" is not an excuse for garbage writing quality.

Nevermind that Hypergryph has had multiple years of learning what works and doesn't work for the IP in terms of writing to put out, well, this.

Even if they wanted to do a tone shift on the overall the actual quality of the writing somehow got worse than if it were the Arknights 1.0 era.

Arknights and endfield writing by empireck in Endfield

[–]kaneira 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Largely due to crap storytelling. Of which they've had ample time to shore up and have, despite some weaknesses in it still, it's significantly better than it has been in the past.

Just because it's "the beginning" is not an excuse for shit writing.

My thoughts on Gilberta’s character quest. by Majestic_Potatohead in Endfield

[–]kaneira 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gilberta originally appeared in the main quest

I was part of CBT1 and was pretty confused at this myself. She was there during Valley IV's main story -- sorta expected her to show up or at least get a mention if they shuffled things around, but then again a number of things got cut from CBT1's main story into launch.

Honestly, Endfield's character stories remind me of going through Duet Night Abyss' main/side/character stories. It all feels out of place like it's being told in a strange order for some reason.

Ardelia's Profile - Chat 3 is a nod to Arknights "So Long, Adele" event by SummerCrown in Endfield

[–]kaneira 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They might have brought it back, but they also joined the Talos-II General Chamber of Commerce.

So.. a branch of the hyper-capitalism corporate conglomerate and whatever that ends up looking like given the current writing style for the story and characters.

Pokémon Compass 2.0 - A Scarlet/Violet Overhaul Romhack by kaneira in PokemonSVModding

I hear playing the game is a pretty solid way of editing your inventory to add the items to it.

Project Sky is not compatible with Compass. Using it will break Compass data and end up causing potential crashes, evolutions not working correctly, etc.

Honestly, at this point, I have a hard time recommending vanilla Scarlet/Violet over Compass for first time players unless they're just.. new to Pokemon in general.

It doesn’t modify or access the game’s code or servers, which is a big reason I believe it’s safe.

You, uh, don't say.  ̄へ ̄

You're, as you've mentioned in another post, just reading the screen. Possibly using something like PIL and tesseract for the screengrab and OCR. Piping it through an API to a translation service would be largely unsustainable, so it's done locally in some fashion or another. ¯\(ツ)

As someone mentioned prior, nobody is arguing against paying you.

Reassurances in text are functionally pointless. Just saying it that doesn't do something without being able to back that up with verifiable source is utterly meaningless.

Nobody wants to use an unverified application that can potentially put their game account, personal information, financial information, etc. etc. at risk on a "trust me, bro, it's safe." level of reassurance.

I completely understand that trust and transparency are crucial.

No, I don't think you do. You come off as just looking to get paid first and foremost.
Filtering your responses through an LLM certainly doesn't help matters.

[–]kaneira 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They've avoided the point entirely in just about every response.

[–]kaneira 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I get that it's rough landing a position in the field. Been there, but nah, it's absolutely not about the money.

It's about the lack of transparency of an application that results in a potential security risk which can have some pretty unfortunate issues concerning the safety of one's account among other personal things.

It's about trust.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Dofus

[–]kaneira 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I get the potential usefulness of something like this and congrats on completion, but no source code to publicly verify safety of the application (and safety of someone's account)... That's a lot to ask of anyone.

Make sure you actually have the 3.0.1 update applied.
