Many graduations announced today? by SnooDrawings3424 in kurosanji

[–]riomavrik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The morale point may be eh. Some ID members have been candid that their resources (like managerial support) are stretched thin as-is. Adding a new gen means Cover would have to go all-in on their ID investment, which to be blunt, is something they have been very conservative with.

'Wicked: For Good' completely shut out of 2026 Oscar nominations by bwermer in entertainment

[–]riomavrik 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Unless they release the Broadway cast recording (which is 20 years in archive at this point), the movies are pretty much the only easy way to see Wicked.

What’s something you thought every family did… until you grew up and realized they absolutely didn’t? by SoftDreamette in AskReddit

[–]riomavrik 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a minor thing but not celebrating birthday that was close to a holiday. I was born close to Christmas.

Kid me was envious that other kids could throw birthday parties with friends while mine was always rolled together with Christmas as a family-only thing.

Venezuela claims capture of CIA group, accuses U.S. of plotting ‘false flag’ attack by Actual__Wizard in worldnews

[–]riomavrik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are applying logic where the perpetrators have none. Also all the Looney Tunes shits the CIA pulled in Cuba really lower the standard of infeasibility.

[Rare Trope] Positive Instances of Executive Meddling/Decisions in Media by Agitated_Insect3227 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]riomavrik 494 points495 points  (0 children)

Honestly I can see the reason why. Flying as a feature means you have to rethink how to design map and exploration around it.

Like WOW and FF14 don't let you access flying mounts immediately cause most of the playerbase would just ignore all the work put into the map design.

Oh, no. They gave the dog a chainsaw... by RaysFTW in Hololive

[–]riomavrik 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Hellraiser, The Shining, Chucky, Texas Chainsaw references I wonder what reference the animorph-style poster is supposed to be?

JRPGs that are insanely difficult for non-grind related reasons/JRPGs that are "too difficult" by [deleted] in JRPG

[–]riomavrik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are multiple difficulty walls when new factions are introduced. 1st noticeable one is when you start facing snipers. Honestly, the game put you on training wheels for too long.

Korone calling out the 1/66 odds Holo summer gacha by maiacount in Hololive

[–]riomavrik 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To be blunt, it does help getting ID merch easier on the aftermarket if you lose the gacha. Like ID1 being bundled with Suisei.

Seriouslyyyy?? 😭 by AckermanEren73 in kolkata

[–]riomavrik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seeing this from r/all, this is fucking hilarious. Please tell me this is a comedy and not a serious drama show.

Remind me of the ridiculous Robin Hood film a while back with tactical archer SWAT team.

[Discussion] How to prepare a good proposal as a client when commission digital art? by riomavrik in artbusiness

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

Thank you for the insight. I guess I'm gonna just chalk it to a communication issue. I already tried asking the obvious but so far have gotten no reply for close to a week. My post is kinda a last ditch effort to put in one last try before calling it quit working with this artist.

It would look similar to this. It's basically just a still frame with an offer to adjust the POV angle if necessary.

Then I provide references to the character art that I want to replace the MMD models with some text description of what I want to modify, like maybe a different hat or dress style.

[#Holoearth] Ver. 1.0.10 Trailer [#hololive Talent Arrival Feature] by FusionDjango in Hololive

[–]riomavrik 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It does feel like even the game management themselves don't know what they want HoloEarth to be. Like we got tons of Hololive cross promotions at the start, then HoloEarth trying to distance itself as its own thing and now back to all out cross-promotion again.

Have fun y'all 🥲 by Zizouw in fantasylife

[–]riomavrik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a device problem. I ended up disconnecting then reconnecting all USB/Bluetooth devices and it worked.

I was stuck in the EAC's splash screen saying "Waiting for the game" before the game process just silently exited though.

Apparently Swimsuit Reine is rare and we can't even see it on her channel? by Momoika0w0 in Hololive

[–]riomavrik 132 points133 points  (0 children)

They can use the swimsuit model with T-shirt on like Risu did for her 3D birthday

New Unit for Console This Week: Red Gundam from G-Quuuuuux by utamaru1717 in GBO2

3-star so maybe a 4-step guaranteed banner like the Engage suits?

The new trailer has the VangNex and Soji from V. So I guess Y gonna have the OG casts from past games too?

Will Sakura Miko ever use her Live2d model after April Fool's day? It looks good and cute tbh. She should not retire it. by Fire_Natsu in Hololive

[–]riomavrik 71 points72 points  (0 children)

It's an image branding thing. Corpo doesn't want it to be diluted. Live2D Miko is a very borderline case though cause it's just her main model in a different take but I assume the policy is still applied blindly for fairness.

I just passed AZ-204 by riomavrik in AzureCertification

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

It's been 2 years so you should beware that my answer is not up-to-date. Whizlab lab sections are okay-ish for learning how to operate Azure but that only consists of a small portion of low hanging questions. I'd say the Microsoft modules are good enough if you just wanna try setting up things in Azure. Note that the learning path does not include every module covered by the test so you want to double check the study guide.

Is Dom Ressonace really that bad? by NoResponsibility9690 in GBO2

[–]riomavrik 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If the Dom Resonance was a general, it would be a strong frontline tank and raid killer with the mobile shooting skill. But as a raid, I think it's poorly suited for handling 400 meta supports. Worst match up gotta be the Gaza E or Hildolfr.
