Amaurot in Actual Light

Someone else noted on Twitter that if you use crime tools to change the weather in Amaurot to one not natural for its undersea gloom, it more clearly shows the coloration of the buildings to be in a similar style of Elpis (Elpis is more red brick with pale stone accents, so actually opposite).

I gave it a go, using Maya Purple Cocoon Opale Colorful shader to brighten things a little, and then in post edit just adjusted contrast and fill light.

Another way to do it was in my normal gameplay mode, went into Gpose, cranked Manual Brightness and all 3 droplights to max; the colors are a little closer to natural but also a bit washed out.

If you run around Amaurot even in the normal gloom, the coloration of the buildings and streets matches, but there's a distinct green tinge to everything, and the more distant buildings look gray or black (and which tends to be how many players color their Amaurot-themed housing).

But like Elpis, actual Amaurot was a bright place, one whose memory we only see in the darkness of the Tempest, or in memories of its fall in the Final Days.

The World Of Becca Blake

if i think too long about ryne & minfilia & thancred i feel nauseous. the literal cycles of trauma. the cycles

[plounce]

CYCLES INCLUDE:

minfilias reincarnating

ran'jit training the minfilias then watching them die in battle

minfilia choosing to sacrifice herself for the greater good despite her loved ones begging her not to

thancred failing (in some fashion) to save and/or be there for minfilia in her moments of greatest peril/need

thancred failing to explicitly reassure ryne that he values her as an individual

thancred seeing minfilia in ryne, and ryne seeing ran'jit in thancred

bodysnatching (lahabrea to thancred, minfilia to the pre-ryne oracles)

louisoix giving thancred a last name, thancred renaming ascilia, thancred naming ryne

ran'jit pursuing them

thancred rescuing ryne from ran'jit

ryne & thancred both thinking they're failures who would be better off dead

BROKEN CYCLES INCLUDE:

minfilia letting go and entrusting the first to ryne

ryne deciding to fight for her own right to exist, regardless of what anyone else wants from her

ryne not being blonde and blue-eyed

ryne being the first oracle to actually get her own name (which has nothing to do with being an oracle and derives from a culture of the first + her family)

thancred physically fights ran'jit (his foil) to preserve ryne's autonomy and nearly dying to ensure it

thancred getting his head out of his flat ass and verbalizing his paternal love for ryne and respecting her decisions (see eden cutscenes)

hey netizens! i'm not sure how many people are aware, but youtube's been slowly rolling out a new anti-adblock policy that can't be bypassed with the usual software like uBlock Origin and Pi-Hole out of the gate

BUT, if you're a uBlock Origin user (or use an adblocker with a similar cosmetics modifier), you can add these commands in the uBlock dashboard (under My Filters) to get rid of it!

youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.openPopupConfig.supportedPopups.adBlockMessageViewModel, false) youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.adBlocksFound, 0) youtube.com##+js(set, ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.adPlacements, []) youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.hasAllowedInstreamAd, true)

reblog to help keep the internet less annoying and to tell corporations that try shit like this to go fuck themselves <3
