HSR Trash Can

[vivid moon]

There

Go crazy

[frozen lintel]

Yay

Ty

[vivid moon]

Ofc

It's hard keeping up with y'all when I work all day and get home and see several messages about what's happened 😭

Like coming home to learn my 20 kids were being hyper at daycare

[gray fractal]

Yosh yosh

[frozen lintel]

lmao

[frozen lintel]

lol

[vivid moon]

LMAO MARCH 8TH

A bot... That replies with "lol"????

Holy shit

[frozen lintel]

its so

fricken

good

Nah this shits too stupid LMAO

[frozen lintel]

Help idk how i got here

[vivid moon]

LOL

[frozen lintel]

Holy shit it’s futuristic liyue

[vivid moon]

yay orphan!

or yay single parent success!

[nimble condor]

there's a fucking thread

Why didn't you tell me KC

[vivid moon]

i pinned it

in the basement channel

[nimble condor]

Do i look like i look at that

[vivid moon]

after a couple of people came to me and mentioned how the entire lore basement chat was hsr talk

[nimble condor]

cause i certainly dont

[vivid moon]

lmao

[nimble condor]

cause HSR good

good lore

good writing

[vivid moon]

it is

but it's genshin lore basement

[nimble condor]

im in fucking love with a trash can

this is canon

Stelle is a fucking raccoon

[vivid moon]

mentioning hsr and other stuff is fine every now and again, we do stuff like that all the time, but when the vast majority of conversation is hsr-related for multiple days, it's probably best to move it elsewhere lol

like here or #911794575599874089

yknow?

and yeah i saw memes for the trash can

it's great

[nimble condor]

did you see the fact that that interaction was teased on the trailer

like on the trailer Stelle is looking at the trash can and then March drags her away

[gray fractal]

wait, if we are in a Genshin lore-basement, then this should be an HSR Trash Can inside the lore basement (HSR Trash Can for short)

[nimble condor]

this is indeed the trash

i live here now

this is my home

[gray fractal]

getting optimistic? I see

[nimble condor]

hey Hook calling me Big sister again

[vivid moon]

yknow what, sure

HSR Trash Can

[nimble condor]

[gray fractal]

[nimble condor]

My home

The elder dumpster would be proud

[vivid moon]

hehe

[nimble condor]

Nat: look at the teddy bear's eyes
Me: Are they moving

[gray fractal]

MC heels are higer. Since you measure staring from the upper part of the soles

[nimble condor]

i swear this MC is so fucking unhinged

[gray fractal]

that's the voice of the stellaron. Bascially, you sow confusion and fear, then whoop - butterfly effect - and in couple of centuries this will result in worlds being destroyed

[nimble condor]

Nanook really got inside us

that sounded wrong

[gray fractal]

anyway, it's MHY compensating for completely apathetic MC in Genshin

[nimble condor]

Honkai: Kiana one of the Best characters cause of her growth through the story
Genshin: MC could literally not be there and the story wouldn't change
Honkai Star Rail: Most Unhinged Space Racoon I've ever seen

[gray fractal]

HSR: if MC bites you, you get rabies

[maiden escarp]

[nimble condor]

Im ok with stelle biting

MC fighting Svarog:

[nimble condor]

i saw this on the reddit

and i love how Dan is just

Holding Stelle like she's got a leash

[gray fractal]

https://tenor.com/view/raccoon-lilli-inspirational-quotes-gif-25672089

MC is a treasure

[nimble condor]

she is my tresure

[gray fractal]

Riding on the Astral Express be like

https://tenor.com/view/raccoon-jumping-raccoonjumping-gif-24012628

[nimble condor]

oh nyo

the raccoon

[gray fractal]

he is probably fine

unless there is a car behind

his speed is the same of a car, and it's not a big speed. Looks like 20-25 miles per hour

Basically, Himeko dropping you off on a planet:

https://tenor.com/view/racoon-dog-love-owned-housed-gif-5565006

[nimble condor]

yes

i found it weird that we didn't see how we go down

[nimble condor]

NOO

dont be meant to the raccoon

they are so cute and smart

[gray fractal]

it's not me. It's Himeko

[nimble condor]

im being a raccoon again

DO NOT QUESTION ME

[gray fractal]

Dan Heng be like:

[nimble condor]

Because i must

it is my destiny

[gray fractal]

When MC tried to login into HSR world before it opened:

https://tenor.com/view/trashpanda-lionfield-raccoon-gif-20737631

[vivid moon]

😭

[nimble condor]

wtf

dude

hook's quest ending is soo good

[gray fractal]

https://tenor.com/view/bna-brand-new-animal-anime-michiru-kagemori-gif-18065900

[nimble condor]

go do it

wait wtf ||what do you mean i get Junjun we sold him||

[gray fractal]

impossibru. I dropped HSR

[nimble condor]

what

why

[gray fractal]

Don't like characters there

[nimble condor]

??????

[gray fractal]

Hook, Sushang and Natasha make me question my sanity with their animations

[nimble condor]

what's wrong with them

i only have natasha so idk about Hook or Sushang's animation

but natasha is fine

talking about natasha

[gray fractal]

Natasha breaking penata is a bit strange

[lament bramble]

The Trash Can arc is the true story of the game

[nimble condor]

If i dont have trashcans on the china planet ill be disapointed

im almost 29 to start the next main quest

[lament bramble]

Meanwhile, I'm still going back and rewatching the Honkai players tease that was that Seele-Bronya convo at the orphanage

[nimble condor]

i really though Cocolia would be her ||Biological mother this time||

but nope

[lament bramble]

Nah

||Her and Seele being from the same orphanage is an important part of their backstory. Tho im surprised they didnt have a "wait, you were that girl that..." reveal||

[nimble condor]

ye it's weird that they dont ||remember eachother||

but hey

[lament bramble]

As long as the ship is there. I'm satisfied. And oh boy is it there

[nimble condor]

they still will be together even if their personalities are different

they might as well marry after that last cutscene

[lament bramble]

The new dynamic is interesting, but I don't dislike it

[nimble condor]

ye

and plus

they work great in gameplay together

[lament bramble]

So I've heard... havent gotten Bronya yet

[nimble condor]

Bronia just enables Seele's "it's always my turn" behaviour

[lament bramble]

I'll be getting her for my Seele at the 300 pull guarentee if I dont get her before then

[nimble condor]

cause Bronya's skill advances forward the target's turn

ye

in like 30 years

the 300 pulls thing is for standard banner pulls only

so good luck with that

[lament bramble]

Still, it's guarenteed at least 👀

[nimble condor]

true

[vivid moon]

one day

[nimble condor]

imma get welt if i dont have him by then

[lament bramble]

3 years of Genshin and I still don't have Jean. So I'll take a guarentee

[nimble condor]

i dont have Qiqi

and tighnari but that one dont count

[lament bramble]

Current plan is getting Bronya if I don't have her by then. Otherwise I'm grabbing Clara

[vivid moon]

if i was able to get 433 pulls on standard banner after 2 years of genshin, you'll be able to eventually guarantee yourself a bronya

[nimble condor]

funny think about that

i got Dehya on her banner

and then lost 50/50 to dehya

but then got nilou 10 pulls after

[gray fractal]

there is a guy who has c8 qiqi, c4 Mona and c4 Jean, c somethig Keq and no Diluc

[nimble condor]

meanwhile seele took me like 70 pulls

[lament bramble]

Yee, mine took forever too

Dumping any additional ones into trying to get her card now

[nimble condor]

I MISSED ONE

[gray fractal]

yeah, mine took like 2.5 years

but that one above is like 6 years for a f2p

[nimble condor]

im mid cutscene looking at march's wanted poster that Gepard made

[lament bramble]

I don't plan to go for cards for any other character, but Seele's special to me

[nimble condor]

im saving for Silver wolf now

and after that idk

[gray fractal]

so, if you are unlucky, you might get Diluc in Snezhnaya

or not get him

[lament bramble]

She seems nice. Would prob throw a 10 pull or two her way. But waiting to see what else they throw out 👀

[nimble condor]

god

my brother just messaged me

[lament bramble]

For now tho, I'm trying my best to get Seele her card for maximum spam

[nimble condor]

he got seele in 20 pulls

[lament bramble]

Rip

[nimble condor]

he installed the game like half an hour ago

[gray fractal]

Silver wolf is my fav so far

[nimble condor]

she's great

[gray fractal]

Too bad MHY didn't give us a chance to play

[nimble condor]

her banter with kafka is great

[lament bramble]

We got to see her ult at least

Pretty nice

[nimble condor]

we got to see her whole kit tho

you play with her for a bit

[lament bramble]

Yee

[gray fractal]

It's funny that she trolls even Kafka

I assume Kafka is a hotshot in HSR universe

[vivid moon]

oh my god i love it

[gray fractal]

wait what

[nimble condor]

there's 1 for every one

1 with Gepard's drawing and 1 with Pela's drawings

[lament bramble]

In the part with Kafka at the very beginning

[nimble condor]

EXCEPT

MC

only gets a Gepard poster

gimme a sec there's a reddit post with them all let me get it

[vivid moon]

i love the art on the posters

[lament bramble]

I love the little details they keep sneaking in

[gray fractal]

yeah, I thought I specifically checked it, because I wanted to try Silver Wolf

[lament bramble]

Like every character having their own unique phone when you pause the game

Little stuff like that is my favorite

[vivid moon]

this game is so nice

i hope everyone who wrote and worked on hsr had a ball

[gray fractal]

honestly, the game needed to have more descriptions in-game. I had no clue what icons in the upper right during the fight meant, had to try it

[vivid moon]

because there's so much silly stuff going on in it

that i could only dream of there being in a game like this

LOL

[vivid moon]

yeah, i was confused when looking at the backpack for the first time

had 0 idea what literally anything was meant to be

[gray fractal]

yeah, they had a ball to their heads it seems

[vivid moon]

yeah LMAO

so much fun shit thrown into the game

silly dialogues and interactions with objects

the descriptions to the items you pick up

it's all such pointless fun, i absolutely love it

[gray fractal]

yeah, it's fine. I liked the humor. It's just not the thing I wanted from the game

[vivid moon]

like

that's so random and stupid but fantastic because it's hilarious to read

them jabbing at nfts

and crypto

[gray fractal]

that's bascially a prime example of "What if paimon writes your descriptions and it's not Celestia propaganda"

[vivid moon]

and stuff like the rice and the spider scientist 😭

JYDTHRSEG

this is what would happen if they took a group of random people who liked writing stupid shit and just threw them into a room together and told them to write descriptions to in-game items and to go ham with whatever came to their minds with no bars held

[gray fractal]

that's basically what happens if you go from normal school to physics school to STEM high edu

[vivid moon]

fyjtdrhs

[gray fractal]

literally: "Oh, they've told you that? Forget it, now you will study the real stuff"

[lament bramble]

History courses are the same way lol

[gray fractal]

Literature and Philosophy too from what I've gathered

[lament bramble]

"Oh, yeah, that story you grew up hearing? It's sooooo much more complicated really"

[nimble condor]

the best is the solid water

it's not ice

it's jsut ice

[lament bramble]

Turns out, simple explanations pretty universally rarely hold up to more than basic scrutiny, regardless of field

[gray fractal]

well, in case of physics it is literally: "Yeah, you were given a wrong answer. But it's working within those margins and easy to understand, that's why they gave you information that is not really how things are"

[lament bramble]

As usual, there's a relevant xkcd

Also this one

[vivid moon]

LOL

[gray fractal]

oh, do I see a tensor there

[lament bramble]

Probably. Author used to work for NASA, would hardly be surprising

[vivid moon]

i just realized something about hsr's like

profile screen

when you hit esc

if you look at the top right and check the battery symbol

it reflects the battery life of the pc/phone you're using

it was full when i last played, because i had my laptop plugged in while fully charged still

but i just plugged my laptop in a few minutes ago and the battery life is really low on the profile

that's cool

[nimble condor]

Yes on phone it do do that

But that's not unusual

Arknights has the same thing I believe

[gray fractal]

yeah, it's nothing new though. Games do this

[vivid moon]

i do not physically play many games

[vivid moon]

so i think it's a cool little detail that they did not need to add

[nimble condor]

It's really easy to code

[vivid moon]

but is helpful if i'm playing on fullscreen and can't see my actual battery symbol

[nimble condor]

Unity has a module thingy specially for it I believe

[vivid moon]

i never noticed it for arknights

[nimble condor]

It's really small and only on the main screen after all

[vivid moon]

ye

[gray fractal]

it's a neat thing. PGR even has voicelines for when your battery is running low

[vivid moon]

oooh

[gray fractal]

so that you won't get completely out of juice accidentally

[vivid moon]

that's cool

i like that

not as intrusive as wii's low battery instant pause screen but not nothing at all

[nimble condor]

Imagine they keep saying it like it's a Zelda game where you only have 1 heart and it keeps beeping

[vivid moon]

OMG THE DAILY LOGIN THING DOESN'T PENALIZE ME FOR NOT ACTUALLY BEING ON A HIGH ENOUGH LEVEL WHEN IT STARTED

[nimble condor]

The what

[vivid moon]

i was ar3 and didn't finish a certain quest yet

and the last time i logged in was launch

but it let me claim the first two

instead of being all like

"well, you couldn't do it before and you're only just now getting the event unlocked, you only get one"

now i wish i had logged on at least for the other days lol

[gray fractal]

wait, doesn't it unlock really early?

Like before you even join the Astral Express

[vivid moon]

yes but i didn't finish the quest

i was literally at like

the part where we JUST met asta

and then logged off

because i had spent 3 hours gawking at the environments

[nimble condor]

It gave me 2 instantly as well

[vivid moon]

oh okay

[nimble condor]

But

I did it day one

So idk

[vivid moon]

nvm then

[nimble condor]

It's probably a bug but I ain't complaining

[vivid moon]

[vivid moon]

@slim cove

[vivid moon]

IKR

[slim cove]

i just realized i haven’t touched lore basement in a long time

[vivid moon]

LMAO I ALREADY LOVE HERTA

her voice actor is so nice

and the delivery of this line was on point

just noticed the opm reference

oh my god

WHY SHE BRINGING FACEBOOK INTO THIS

it's literally called the first closed beta 😭

could you imagine doing this quest DURING the closed beta??

[gray fractal]

Maybe they did too good job on Herta. I kinda said "Stuff it" and didn't go there where she told me to go

and since there was no other option, I didn't go anywhere

I kinda thought "If you didn't give me an option to ignore her, I would ignore her in my own way, and just play another day". Well, another day never came up

[lament bramble]

Aside from Seele and Bronya, she's by far my favorite of the characters. I love her 0 fucks given lifestyle

[vivid moon]

yeah LOL

[lament bramble]

Also, Sampo's EN VA gives me Itto vibes

But like

Semi-competant Itto

[vivid moon]

yeah

[lament bramble]

(Also, dunno how far you are, but speaking of VAs... Cocolia's EN VA did a fantastic job later on. Her lines were really well done)

[vivid moon]

OOOH I GOT HERTA

have only seen mention of cocalia once

and it was in an achievement i haven't gotten yet

LOL

LMAO ARE THEY SHITTING ON THEMSELVES WITH THIS ONE?? "SOME TINY REWARDS HANDED OUT EVERY ONE-AND-A-HALF-MONTHS?"

i like how march goes yoimiya mode when sped up

the cute little "pew!"

[lament bramble]

Doing the finale of the ice planet arc, and got to this bit...

wtf kinda stupid question is that?

[vivid moon]

LOL

[gray fractal]

I saw that you can play MC as a total dumdum in many cases. So that is canon

[vivid moon]

i like how the mc just snaps for her restore skill

just a snap of the fingers and she heals her frens

god i have stolen so much shit that i don't plan to ever read

[lament bramble]

Aight, pro tip

before the final boss of the ice world part, turn your music volume down to 7

Music's badass... but it completely covers up the dialogue

Can't hear shit

[gray fractal]

stealing books from scholars, saving their eyesight. Truly a Robin Hood of HSR

now distribute books among the Antimatter legion

[vivid moon]

😭 ???

[gray fractal]

the universe recognized your troll potential

[vivid moon]

FYJDTHRS

i found and killed a warp trotter

it looked cute and jiggly

[gray fractal]

in the sim universe?

[vivid moon]

nah

in the storage zone second floor

[gray fractal]

https://tenor.com/view/racoon-cat-gif-10153591

Did it happen like this?

[vivid moon]

...maybe

[gray fractal]

https://tenor.com/view/omg-cute-cat-thank-you-gif-20900425

This is cute

[vivid moon]

LMAO

I THINK I JUST

DRANK SO MUCH COFFEE

THAT I PASSED OUT??

AND WAS DRAGGED TO A SAFE ZONE??

[vivid moon]

also yes this is adorable 😭

also fuck i need to go walk the dog then sleep, i gotta wake up in 6 hours

[gray fractal]

F

[lament bramble]

mood

[gray fractal]

that's why you never drink too many coffee shots in a bar.... Wait that's not correct

[vivid moon]

dude mc was having a love affair with that cup of coffee i kid you not

i just read a romance novel with her taking sips of coffee

[gray fractal]

yeah, reading a romance novel in a cafe never bodes well. Either someone starts talking to you, or you pass out, or aliens invade Earth

[lament bramble]

Man, the ||Cocolia|| boss fight (ice planet arc finale spoilers) music has such early 2000s alternative rock energy to it, but it works. I love it

[vivid moon]

i wasn't in a cafe though

[lament bramble]

As a test, I just turned off the music and put Linkin Park's "New Divide" over it, and it syncs up just as well

[vivid moon]

i was in the storage zone

after i fought a tough enemy for a chest, i saw a cup of coffee on the table lmao

then mc had a loving embrace through her tastebuds with said coffee

every sip getting more loving detail with the beautiful aroma and bitter taste of the drink

[lament bramble]

(Sidenote... I now kinda wanna do a New Divide AMV for Star Rail...)

[vivid moon]

LMAO

do it

go for it

[lament bramble]

I think it unironically works

[gray fractal]

https://tenor.com/view/raccoon-dog-no-hug-gif-19942547

[gray fractal]

WALK THE DOG

[vivid moon]

SHIT RIGHT

[lament bramble]

Oh lawd...
"There was nowhere to hide, ashes fell like snow"
"And the ground gave in between where we were standing..."
"And your voice was all I heard, that I get what I deserve..."
It's spoilers why, but this works so damn well for the finale

[vivid moon]

speaking of walking dogs

[lament bramble]

I love that card so much

[vivid moon]

i just got this

LMAO

[lament bramble]

I have it too. I leveled it up right away lol

idc if its viable.

its too precious

[gray fractal]

Dude... Why would you make me listen to Linkin Park now. Ehhh, now I am sad. Basically five columns of my childhood: Prodigy, Linkin Park, Rammstein, Avril Lavigne and Depeche Mode. Visioners in their own niche, moving the music world

[vivid moon]

same

leveled it to 14 instantly

and swapped it onto mc

[gray fractal]

Oh yeah, also Gorillaz

but that was later I think

[lament bramble]

I'd throw Pendulum into that mix

[gray fractal]

well, Pendulum... I kinda appreciated them much later.

Like Evanescense was a thing, especially with Tarja vocals. But the texts were not for me, even though good

[lament bramble]

As memey as it is, Evanescense never really was anything except "Bring Me to Life" until much later in my life

I only knew that one song from them and that was it

Tho that song admittingly was enough to make them a staple of my childhood

used to watch the MV for that on YahooMusic all the time

[gray fractal]

yeah, that one is definitely their masterpiece

[vivid moon]

yeah, that song is a staple in a LOT of edgy amvs

like

i fucking lived that shit

[gray fractal]

I would say that KPOP probably dominated the last decade

nothing else comes to mind having the same influence and a new wave feel

[lament bramble]

Touhou music's dominated the last two or three years of mine. Before that, it was Liquid Drum and Bass

Now it's a mix of the two

[gray fractal]

nice. You were a bit late to the party though. Touhou music was the thing of 2008-2014 I would say. And it was also like when the game was at its peak popularity I think

[vivid moon]

i still see bad apple parodies/covers thrown on youtube on various "instruments"

[lament bramble]

My favorites are all pretty much released in the last 3-4 years, so maybe it's just this new wave?

Tho there's a few 2016-2017ish songs I also like

[gray fractal]

yeah, Bad Apple popped off, but the main driving force behind the whole movement wasn't it. It was the fact that a lot of half-baked japanese composers, vocalists, musicians could mix up together, experiment and pop off once in a while and make a name for themselves, because the base game tunes were nice and they were never licensed. And also had a great fanbase and pretty chill community

[lament bramble]

The Touhou music circles are kinda on another level man

it's crazy the sheer quantity and quality they can pump out

ShibayanRecords and ZYTOKINE being personal favorites

[gray fractal]

that's what a great community could do. Like honestly, I would say that Touhou community is the best media entertainment community I have ever seen. I have never seen toxicity or possesive behavior, though it still bound to exist among many fans, it's quite rare

[lament bramble]

There's just a ton of stuff to work with

and they get super flexible with how they use/interpret it

The animation community for it goes just as hard as the music community imo

[gray fractal]

I once wrote a huge article on Touhou music and its genres for one of our most popular anime e-journals. I wish I could find it

[lament bramble]

Case in point: A perfect hybrid of Touhou music and Touhou animation at its best https://youtu.be/430ejbSn-5k

I don't know how many times I've gone back and rewatched this guy's work

[lament bramble]

Both the music and video are fanmade

[gray fractal]

I have way too many favorites. Like Shibayan among them. But Sync Arts, Poplica, Alstroemeria Records, Buta Otome (lol, who the hell came up with the name, its literally Pig Girl, but the music is very good), East New Sound.
But I don't think you can call yourself a fan of Touhou music if you never heard of IOSYS. They basically invented a whole subgenre that is copied even nowadays

[lament bramble]

Marisa Stole the Precious Thing is one of my all-time favorite tracks (that one part of the song aside...)

IOSYS is great

[gray fractal]

literally type Touhou Piano or Touhou Violin and you get the best chill music out there.

If I have a friend who listens to classical music, some of Touhou music is so good, I can suggest them violin concertos from there

[lament bramble]

tbh, for me its more the remixes than the songs themselves that do it

the melodies are nice, but I'm not really an orchestral person. Orchestral mixed with electronic is 100% my jam tho, and you can find so much of that with Touhou

[gray fractal]

I think like literally 2011-2015 I lived only on Touhou music, because it had every genre of music you could imagine

[gray fractal]

You might come to like orchestral music eventually. I can send you a couple things, not from touhou, but top notch orchestra

[frozen lintel]

Its so friggen good

it goes so hard

for the first boss too

and the vocals when she uses her ultimate

I know beta testers were suprised since they didn't have that during beta

chefs kiss

[lament bramble]

I've listened to quite a few (mostly out of curiosity at wtf the source could be when I hear a really unusual Touhou remix). Not my type of music
But love what people do with the motifs

[lament bramble]

It's good.
But you gotta admit.
it's like... peak late 2000s alt rock energy

[frozen lintel]

I feel like genshin, they kinda already locked their story telling, so honkai star rail, they have the excuse of going crazy lol

I absolutely love the writing

[frozen lintel]

yeah for sure

[lament bramble]

(I mean that in the best possible way lol)

Like Breaking Benjamin/Linkin Park kinda energy

[frozen lintel]

the main character is a literal shitposter

did you do the cabinet interaction

in the overworld hotel in belobog

[lament bramble]

https://youtu.be/XQSp4ph4lnU?t=16 This song was the first thing that boss music reminded me of

[lament bramble]

That one and the review card were both fantastic

[frozen lintel]

Any rocks with acoustic guitar goes so hard

[frozen lintel]

im level 33 so im kinda ahead but man this dudes a menace

Aot reference 💀

[lament bramble]

Only gotta be worried if she starts promising to take you there...

[frozen lintel]

this game genuinely makes me wonder what the alternate options wouldve been

@lament bramble have u done the simualted universe?

ive reached world 6 but no clue if i can do it with just level 50 lol

[lament bramble]

Only up to World 2

Got enough for the max points, then figured id do the rest after it resets 👀

Since that should be tonight iirc

[pulsar junco]

this exists

[vivid moon]

Yes

[gray fractal]

there are different qualities though. Like this one is of very high quality going with more classical feel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rw5zFoXhaZw&t=2493s I am looking for my fav right now, though it seems it was deleted so it will take time to find a repost of it

[lament bramble]

Welcome to the trash heap

[lament bramble]

Listened through bits from that album, still not my thing

I can recognize its good quality, just not a genre I enjoy personally

[pulsar junco]

i love rummaging for trash in Belobog and checking up Lamp posts

[lament bramble]

The mail boxes have some too iirc 👀

Plus, well, every other interactable in the game

They mix the jokes in everywhere

[pulsar junco]

i also liked how turning off the little robots on the Space Station also gave a interesting interaction

[frozen lintel]

i think theres a dude that does a ton of orchestral/electronic music

forgot his name

Oh yeah Apashe

[gray fractal]

ok, found it. This one of a mixed genre kinda jazz+rock+orchestral https://youtu.be/9EqH5sWJ1CQ

[frozen lintel]

https://youtu.be/FH3eCt-tUCU?t=27

Love his work so much

samples a lot of orchestral pieces

[gray fractal]

yeah, that one is great. I'll add his tracks to my list. I think he went slightly overboard with bass reverberation though...

[maiden escarp]

Hsr music can

[gray fractal]

https://youtu.be/wWfpf0zj4dM This is the stuff I listened to lately. The bass drop at 0:45 and recovery at 2:16 is something out of this world

[frozen lintel]

Lol some of his music is like that yeah

I think i appreciate music that can get creative and blend instruments well

cough genshins entire soundtrack cough

[frozen lintel]

Damn the bass drop

[gray fractal]

listen the one at 2:16. The whole sequence with the drop at 2:40 is something crazy

[frozen lintel]

piano will forever be the greatest instrument in any genre fight me

that buildup to the drop goes so hard

Def would be a good osu song too lol

[gray fractal]

my fav is cello tbh. Nothing is so deep and intricate, even fortepiano. Though good cellists are far and between

[frozen lintel]

thats in the top 5 for me prob

classic instruments just hit different in electronic

its like a mix of synthetic and organic that my brain cant get enough of tbh

[gray fractal]

classic represents perfect harmony, and much of contemporary electronic music is of disharmony sort of. So combined well they definitely make a drug, but that's hard to pull off

[frozen lintel]

knowing how to mix them is super hard to master yeah

[gray fractal]

wait, am I tripping, or this sounds very much like the OST from the Belobog underground city? https://youtu.be/ojU8W_ZgAjs?t=34

Fuck, I forgot how great this track was. Nhato is genius, drop at 2:37 is insane (starting at 2:25)

[frozen lintel]

wouldnt be surpised if they took references

Hoyo a bunch of weebs i bet one of them listens to it

Damn the echoy vocals + piano mhm thats a certified banger

[gray fractal]

yeah, I would like to think that Nhato is a thing in Asia. He pulls of some crazy stuff

[gray fractal]

well this whole track is genius. Like you probably can't listen to it too many times in a row, but the variability is insane

[frozen lintel]

reminds me of camellia

just like the variety

[pulsar junco]

music moment

[frozen lintel]

dude throws in every random genre he can think of

[gray fractal]

oh yeah, Camellia is a banger

[frozen lintel]

bangers an understatement

idek how hes been pumping so much music

hes really just built different

[gray fractal]

asians. They really can go ham

[frozen lintel]

any music games just gotta go "yo make a boss-version soundtrack for ur game" and he goes "bet" and makes the arm/hand/wtv limb breaking song

[frozen lintel]

hes super chill and vibey irl too apparantly

respect

[gray fractal]

btw, chill and vibey https://youtu.be/wR1IXSn1jqU?t=40 This is a more usual sound from Nhato

what I like about asians (KPOP including) and their music is so fucking CLEAN

and not like sterile clean, but damn mountain stream clean

[frozen lintel]

yeah american music is good butttt kinda tired of rap nowadays lol

or country

LOL

[gray fractal]

lol, good luck. You know like Asians are 10 years behind in music. They went Eurobit -> Trance -> Drumnbass and Dubstep like 5-10 years behind EU and NA, so you should expect a lot of rap and hip hop by now from them. Well, at least KPOP is a nice version of hiphop

[frozen lintel]

Mmm asian hip hop is diff tho id be open to that

Esp if they fuse asian instruments into it

again i like creativity more than lyrics tbh

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsuAKlNe_rI

3:24 will forever be iconic

[gray fractal]

the stuff I would like to hear in a dome

[gray fractal]

this is my all-time favorite from Camellia https://youtu.be/8CQOavkx-Fg 1:25 is pure insanity. Like I literally never heard anything like this before in such a perfect... disharmony.

This is fucking angels on electric chairs with frothing mouths. I can't describe it in any other way

[frozen lintel]

oml yeah ghost is unreal

Oh yeah getting to watch OOparts during the osu world cup was unreal

that thing is a monster

a real fitting piece for the tiebreaker

It was designed specifically to test every possible aspect of the top players and they were cracking so much lol

[frozen lintel]

Synths + Hardcore

incredible

[gray fractal]

oh, btw, if you like combinations of electronic music with more classic stuff, how about nordic ancestral music plus electronics? https://youtu.be/Qjmp2r2OsZ4 electronics come to the front somewhere at 3:00

[frozen lintel]

bet imma listen after i get this paper done

[gray fractal]

it is kinda slow in the beginning, but gets pretty hot at 1:30

[frozen lintel]

sounds like some demonic chant you'd hear in DOOM

Love the metal clanging sounds

[gray fractal]

yeah, like literally you start to chant yourself after couple of times you repeat this track lol

and robotic sound at 3:13 is just very surprising for me, I would never expect, though it kinda emulates the traditional instrument

[gray fractal]

yeah, they use Camellia for that a lot, lol. As for me, I would never be able to pull that off. My best was like Railgun - Masterpiece clear on max complexity without mods (like A score I think or maybe I managed S, dont quite remember). And Touhou - Demetori - Emotional Skyscraper

[frozen lintel]

damn

[gray fractal]

yeah, this one https://youtu.be/JI0jAW7s0YY?t=45 I guess you can imagine that this has a decent BPM lol. Basically, I think I was able not to fail it at my peak performance

damn, it was 12 years ago wtf

and today I can't be arsed to do a 100% Genshin music event lol

[frozen lintel]

Lol

Side note - speaking of edm and the alt rock bit from the cocolia boss, the singer sounds similar in Area 52 - camellia

[gray fractal]

wtf, Area 52 is insane. Damn, Camellia still kicking

well, I guess I get my new favorite song of a month

[frozen lintel]

LOL

may 1 just started

[gray fractal]

ehh, I think I went for like half a year without anything new and decent to listen to. I don't expect to find anything good in a month or two

not listen, but to rave to

good timing too. My jogging playlist became kinda stale a year ago and urgently needed some refreshing. This and Oshi no Ko OP would do for now

[frozen lintel]

yeah everybody knew that new yoasobi song was gonna be a banger when it came out

At least i did

thatll be iconic for spring anime 2023

[frozen lintel]

wait wtf he was the guy singing i nthe vid

[gray fractal]

anime (at least prologue) is kinda nuts too. I built like a 2-page theory on who is who and what is what when it released lol. A decent depth I would say

[frozen lintel]

damn

Yeah the first episode is gonna be legendary

as a manga reader, id give it an 8.5/10

as a whole

that prologue was a 10/10

[gray fractal]

well, the anime's foreshadowing is top notch.

I kinda want to read manga to check my theories lol, but don't want to spoil the anime too much

[frozen lintel]

id say its goes pretty slow tbh

like we're about 110 chapters in ish and we havent gotten too much on the ||killer||yet

not that its a bad thing, but reminds me of jojo part 4 kinda

where like its pretty slow in the first half, and then the second half is just. KIRA

[gray fractal]

OSHI NO KO SPOILERS ||One of my theories was that Ruby knows the killer. Because she was behind the door, so she couldn't see who it was. And that looked intentional. Plus, the killer kinda has a raven motif, the same as Aqua||

[frozen lintel]

oh interesting

Ill just say theres some supernatural stuff

[gray fractal]

yeah, understandable

[frozen lintel]

cuz the reincarnation and all that

[gray fractal]

||like the starsand was shown everytime when the killer was shown too||

[frozen lintel]

theres a theory about the amaterasu thing that the babies said that while a joke, could be foreshadowing about like japanese gods

i dont know enough about japanese deities tho lol

[gray fractal]

OSHI NO KO SPOILERS ||and Ai said that she remembers the names only of extraordinary people, so this guy must have been extraordinary in some way||

||well, the Oni (blue and red) motif is also quite clear||

||Ruby said herself that Ai is like Oni||

||I went as far as to jump to conclusion that the guy is a relative of former Ruby self, and Ruby learnt about Ai from him and became her fan too. Because it seemed kinda sus that this guy recognized Ruby's doctor on a night when he murdered him.||

basically my main theory is (OSHI NO KO SPOILERS):

1. ||the guy who died was(is) the mastermind, not father. Father is sort of a puppet of his. Or maybe he is a puppet of both killer and Ai||

2)|| this person was responsible for reincarnation of the doctor and Ruby, if not directly then accidentaly||

3. ||the killer might be a timeturned version of Aqua in a form of a self-fulfilling prophecy (this is very low possibility), but considering same raven motifs and the general Aqua's maniacal line of thought (he literally thought about killing someone at least three times in the prologue) I give it a chance||

4)|| Father is the president of the Strawberry Company (Ai's company president). They both act and lie so that to put everyone into confusion (anime viewers as well)||

5. ||the guy whom Ai called from the booth to tell him about kids is someone highranking in the music business, whom Ai blackmailed about having kids from him earlier, which is a lie. But she needed to blackmail him so that Strawberry company would have better opportunities (as well as an opportunity to organize a concert in the dome), because it is specifically mentioned in the anime right before the scene with a phone booth, that the concert in the dome is something almost impossible even for someone like Ai||

This only concerns the prologue btw

if I remember correctly, she is also a haxxor, a bit

[pulsar junco]

my partner wants me to watch it, index and railgun

my plate is now full with this season
spring 2023 goes hard

[gray fractal]

ye. This season has like the biggest number of ongoing anime I watch during a season in at least 5 years. Maybe overall best season. Pretty great season so far

[pulsar junco]

it really is

[gray fractal]

index is outdated. It was fun when it released but now it makes sense to watch it only to have a clue what's going on in Railgun

[pulsar junco]

i will check it out as soon as spring ends

i just got the it's my turn achievement

because seele does not want the enemy to play

[pulsar junco]

how is she?

[nimble condor]

good

[pulsar junco]

i'm not pulling because the next few banners will be hell for me

[nimble condor]

Seele's passive basically gives her an extra turn if she kills an enemy

and there's a tech that allows her to have basically 4 turns if done right

[pulsar junco]

[nimble condor]

plus with bronya she can get up to 6 turns in a row

[pulsar junco]

warp trotters are too cute ngl

[pulsar junco]

yeah you get an interaction when all of them get turned off

[vivid moon]

You might like wagakki band if you haven't heard of them already

They have a couple of songs/covers that blend traditional Japanese instruments with a more modern music style- my favorite still being tengaku

https://youtu.be/Q2meWkWqc-I

But yeah, camellia is dope too

Like wagakki band isn't synths and stuff mixed together with older/classical instruments, but the style with which they make music is more of a modern twist in a sense

[vivid moon]

Ooooh I'm going back and turning all of them off then

MEGA POWER SAVER TIME

Pro tip: turn down your music to 7ish before doing the final Cocolia bit

Music for that bit is pog, but mixed way too loud relative to everything else. Missed a ton of dialogue

[pulsar junco]

will do
i am excited to meet her

damn, Serval really just had 4 ults in a row

you could watch Enviosity, he almost done it (100% doable for him)

[frozen lintel]

damn bet

also no way

LOL

[gray fractal]

mb he got lucky on the first run. It was very doable for him

[frozen lintel]

oh what run did he use?

[gray fractal]

Asta Pyro MC Nat and Sushang

[frozen lintel]

ah

[analog pollen]

(Is this supposed to be the star rail lore thread?)

[frozen lintel]

Kinda lol

I’ll prob post some interesting aeon entries later

[analog pollen]

I have some lore questions about the starlight express

around the time when you leave the space station, I remember someone (probably himeko?) explaining that the express already has a preprogrammed route that no one knows the final destination of (implying they never reached the end so far), and everyone on board is kinda just along for the ride

but everything ive seen from the story so far kinda contradicts this?

the MC can just teleport back and forth to any visited location no big deal, characters from previous locations ask him for help like it's no big deal for him to come back , and those character can come visit the express too

and now on the 2nd planet storyline it starts with them derailing from said preprogrammed route

idk how much of this is just ludonarrative dissonance for the sake of the gameplay, how much is retcons, and how much is me misunderstanding details ( I REALLY wish you could go back to reread dialogue)

[gray fractal]

supposedly, Astral Express follows the route of Stellarons. So, whomever spread those also might have originated the idea of Star Rail

Maybe it's trail was preprogrammed in terms of that its fate was already sealed by whomever was observing the timeline of this universe

[frozen lintel]

That’s more of a gameplay thing then a canonical thing I’d guess

Hmm lemme think

I don’t think the train is completely automatic tbh and the conductor can decide where to go

[gray fractal]

don't think so.

I wouldn't be surprised if Express has its own Path. I wonder if we ever gonna get its lightcone

[frozen lintel]

It doesn’t say it’s outright automatic here, it feels more metaphorical imo

I think it’s more like: there’s a bunch of long forgotten “roads”/railroads that the train hasn’t been on for a while (as akivili made them a long time ago) and they’re kinda just following these tracks wherever it leads them

But like say they want to go back to jarilo, they can because there’s a road there already

[analog pollen]

hmmm

does that site you took the screenshot from have all of himeko's lines? i dont think that's the segment I was thinking of

but need to double check

[frozen lintel]

As for the detour to the new regions, it’s because there’s a “road” that just happens to intersect with them

So yeah they can take a detour

Imagine it more like going on a road trip around a country and just taking random highways and exploring

That’s how I’d imagine it

[frozen lintel]

It’s the text from the quest yes

It’s on the wiki

Word for word

[analog pollen]

1 moment

(I can't post pictures for some reason pls send help)

[frozen lintel]

Are u referring to this?

[analog pollen]

yes

theres also some lines in "chat:final stop" that say similar things

from these it makes it sound like the express has a will of its own

(i'd post a pic but....yea)

[frozen lintel]

I mean I’d agree the train has a form of sentience

Pom Pom is technically a manifestation of the trains spirit in a way I’m pretty sure

But i think it’s end goal is pegana

But besides that, the train is kinda just going in a similar path as before, but it’s not perfect

As long as it’s destiny is to reach the end point, u can argue it’s like a fate thing where the in-between don’t matter too much as long as they reach their final destination

[analog pollen]

ah,also another detail I forgot to mention in my initial post, himeko said that she and herta are business partners or w/e, which implies theyve interacted multiple times in the past, but if the express is stuck to a preset route that shouldn't be possible? unless in said route it stops to the space station multiple times for some reason but that sounds weird

[frozen lintel]

And also himeko/Pom Pom can decide to stop or start the train, so we know the train can be controlled

When it comes to fate, things get kinda wonky

[analog pollen]

hmm I see

(so in conclusion it's just not explained in great detail and we're just supposed to roll with it)

[frozen lintel]

Mmm I kinda just rationalized the way it made sense

It’s not like huge retconning tho and I see how it makes sense

[lament bramble]

The train was visiting the station when the legion attacked, so I feel like that pretty much confirms it can do whatever. Especially since Herta talks about you coming back later

[frozen lintel]

Again they never explicitly said “the train has preset stops”, just that there’s an eventual final stop it’s destined to reach

How the train gets there can vary

[analog pollen]

ye it's not a super big deal, there's easy ways for them to explain it off, it just slightly bothers me that there's no official ingame text explaining it properly

esp with himeko giving you all the big lore drops about everything else

[frozen lintel]

Tldr: the final destination is fated, the journey to get there is not

It’s like ur driving from Spain all the way to Russia

[analog pollen]

they said that it's traveling on a route the trailblazer once embarked on. saying that it's traveling on an already established route makes me think of a preset path

[frozen lintel]

You know the final eventual stop is russia, but u can go on detours or go back or wtv

[analog pollen]

unless the aeons just travel in a relative physics superpostion way ig

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[frozen lintel]

But eventually ur gonna reach russia

[frozen lintel]

Well think of maybe the route as less of a line, and more like a giant web

[analog pollen]

hmm

i see

[frozen lintel]

It’s just a giant mess of roads interconnecting each other

Hmm how about this as an example

U watched avatar?

The tv show

[analog pollen]

unfortunately no I haven't ,at least not properly

[frozen lintel]

Ok tldr they go around the world

But it’s not predestined routes or wtv

[analog pollen]

but if we think of the route like a web, how would they know what the end point is?

[frozen lintel]

That’s the best example I can think of lol

[frozen lintel]

Well that’s why I said fate is wonky

Cuz Aeons are wierd super powerful higher dimensional beings

🤷‍♀️

[analog pollen]

fair enough

and since I already have you here

[frozen lintel]

And like u said, the train is sentient and knows it’ll reach the endpoint eventually

[analog pollen]

do you know anything about honkai 3rd lore by any chance?

[frozen lintel]

We know there’s a ton of people in the universe that can predict future/future possibilities

Like the stellaron hunters

[frozen lintel]

Not much

Just the bit about quanta and imaginary. Big tree

And a lot of the characters are alt versions of themselves from honkai impact

[analog pollen]

I heard from a friend that this welt is supposed to be the same character from 3rd, and was wondering if there's any interesting lore about him in that game

(or just how the hell he ended up here)

[frozen lintel]

Yeah he’s technically the only dude that’s actually from the HI3 universe

And not just an alt form

He kinda got transported to a different dimension

I think

There’s no lore yet besides “ooh yes my past is very mysterious and I won’t talk abt it” but it’s the first patch so obv they haven’t gotten to it

[analog pollen]

gotcha gotcha

was thinking that he might have a more well developed plot in 3rd

but yea thanks for the convo

[frozen lintel]

yeah same LOL

i ran around the room maybe 4-5 times before talking to alder

seeing he didnt have the password

then being like

"they wouldn't just... put it outside... would they?"

[frozen lintel]

its so goofy

i feel like

all the goofy easter egg ideas they scrapped from genshin

they just dumped here

Its so good

Also since theyre traveling to different planets, their ability to tell different wacky stories in entirely different contexts makes more sense

im joking I don't write fan fics

[analog pollen]

did anyone understand what Cocolia was actually trying to achieve in the end? I finished the ice planet yesterday but her motivations still feel very vague to me

[nimble condor]

the stelaron basically told her that

the current civilization had to die

so a new civilization would flourish

and i assume the plan was for her and bronya to be the only ones left or some shit

the point is that the stelaron was telling her bs to try and kill everyone

and she fell for it

[analog pollen]

hmm

then what was that thing about mother of the new world

(also sidenote but did she ever explain her reasoning for sealing off the underground? I forgor)

[wraith token]

stellarons are tools of Nanook, so most likely its just a tool for destruction. like a ticking time bomb. and i believe it still tricked cocolia with a promised future. tricking cocolia intro protecting the stellaron that will forever doom their planet, with no future for them

also there is a big lore dropped in xianzhou about stellarons

[daring raft]

do you find the antimatter legion that interesting as enemies so far?

[nimble condor]

if she was the only one left she would "birth" a new world

by destroying the previous one

and yes

Stelarons are creations of nanook
