@lnkthewolf.bsky.social oh they're so bought, and not just in fancy dinners, Golden Globes for example spends millions on just paying the few dozen judges, before the 5 star hotels. Individual consultants for running a "campaign" for an award take like $45k-95k each.

a second forgettable horizon mmo just hit the timeline.
I guess that partly explains the lawsuit if they had a direct competitor cooking on top of the brand confusion. What a bland franchise. lol

Wanted to echo this about HSR 3.7, Amphoreus has been such a journey, and also an inspiration. Oftentimes I react to their arcs with a bit of "darn, they did the same premise as my story, but better", then take it as a chance to re-examine and improve. It's my favourite part about these stories.

It's a little ironic that this currency wars run worked by having the heirs carry through the first 2 phases just to get Phainon built to 3 stars for the final boss. lol

And Gun Girl Z/ Honkai Gakuen 2 has the Reborn arc informing Phainon/Cyrene's stories heavily too, with Kiana also being a scribe to a story who wants to become a writer of her own ending, explicitly saying so.
It's a great theme, and not a departure for them. It's about as Honkai as it gets.

And yeah Star Rail's obviously drawing heavily from the Elysian Realm/Elysium Everlasting in Honkai Impact 3rd. Part 1 even ends with Kiana saying it's a story about love. But part 2 has continued that with Entropy and Senadina's many lives and the various versions of the Seven Shus on Mars.

Obviously there's March has her little allegory about following the past Nameless' stories being like reading a book and getting invested in the characters, and Mikhail being a filmmaker whose works obfuscate all of penacony's history to the player through allegorical fiction and origami birds.

I'm glad some folks are catching on that Amphoreus was a metanarrative about stories & how people interact with and propagate narratives themselves.
But the ones thinking it's a swerve away in theme are missing how it's been a central theme for the franchise, in Honkai Star Rail, HI3 & GGZ all

Something I appreciate about Hoyo combat animations as someone with archery experience is that they make sure to have proper elbow level with shoulder draws even during the flashy combos. A lot of films/games screw this up constantly.

It's also crucially more like 1500 forms but they condense down into the one 'mon that actually dips into those branches so it never feels as bloated. Is this a ton of forms? Yeah, but actually most folks just chalk it up as "Terriermon and Kokomon" and everything else files under that.

Whenever I see super vocal linux users, I'm reminded of this. lol
Proton has done a lot for games without native ports, but even then big games go unsupported on there not infrequently. And a lot of anti-cheats still don't/won't run on it. Good luck playing 2XKO on linux.

Bad, we just want it to play like duodeccim. lol The modern day isekai look is... iffy some like rinoa or lightning look away a lot the others not so much. Trust is just low in them to do anything interesting.
