Hi Bioware, next patch, can you add jingle jangle sound effects for Emmrich when he walks around, thank you for your consideration

So hey, you guys wanna know something? I solved the mystery on what the legacy mark/glyph is meant to represent. It's a mark put on you of Louisoix's magic when he zips you into the time pocket as a 1.0 WoL.

I figured it out from sheer luck since it shows up in the Flames of Truth cinematic so briefly that you can't see it unless you get REALLY lucky. Even then it took me a long bit to scrub through the video to find the frame where it's most visible, but here it is:

Look in the very middle, you see its shape for a super split moment. It's basically a magical brand put on the back of your neck by Louisoix.

I am way too tired/jetlagged to make this post right now, but the reason Armada Starscream is so specifically well done to me actually isn't just the way he's got more depth than just wanting to take over Megatron. It's the way he falls back on this image he has of himself as someone who is solely focused on Megatron. And he is obsessed with Megatron, but the disconnect between Starscream and his image of himself is what gives him actual depth.

The reason this is so cool to me is like, that self-image--that he is single-mindedly obsessed with Megatron and will sacrifice everything else for that goal, no matter who gets hurt--is pretty close to what every other Starscream is. (The selfishness you associate with Starscream is a little more subtle, but it's there in the "no matter who gets hurt" clause imo.)

So if you go into this as a Transformers fan, you're already expecting Starscream to betray Megatron and try to best him and rule the Decepticons. But so does Starscream, even when he's demonstrably proven to both his peers and the audience that he's more than that. It's almost like his past incarnations--or the audience's expectation of him--haunt him. It turns his own internal man-versus-self conflict into this really cool man-versus-narrative conflict.

And what's crazy about this is, through the last moments of this arc, Starscream does grow beyond the narrative we'd expect from other Starscreams! But he never admits that to himself, because it's easier for him to cling to the idea that he's laser-focused on his hatred of Megatron. Every time he helps the minicons--every time he helps the humans--even in his last words, he LIES to himself and everyone around him that everything he did was always about Megatron. Because it's easier to simplify himself than to grasp that he might be a complex character. Because he's a person and he has all the messy conflicts that come with that. He falls back on the same ideas every single other Starscream did, and THAT is his undoing. Not that he is self-centered because he's Starscream. Not that he is obsessed with Megatron because he's Starscream. That he THINKS he is all of those things and he will not LET himself be anything else.

I would argue that that's a bigger theme in Armada, as well. Optimus and Megatron more or less spend their final fight coming to terms with their story roles in Transformers. I really feel like if you sneezed on them, they would realize they do this in every universe and in every timeline. Starscream's is the most interesting example to me, though, because he's such a departure from other versions of Starscream; hell, he acts (and looks, lol) a lot more like some incarnations of Thundercracker. But he's still got classic Starscream in him in this roundabout meta reference. He's like an homage to his namesake. It's so cool! And it works perfectly with the story he's a part of.

The face of a pixel Santa hat man who survived a wolf pack chasing him, an east empire warden who was trying to kill him, fish trying to eat him, eternal darkness due to modding error, getting stuck in a T pose, and a grassless tundra.

He helped me find the mod that was causing my game to freeze on Castle Dour and even discovered a second crash to desktop problem that I fixed completely on accident.

✨All hail Santa Hat Tester Man!✨

Another little NPVince Update ( ﾉ ﾟｰﾟ)ﾉ

His base is done now aaaahhhh!! I'm so happy. I cleaned up his file today, renamed everything, started adding some variants for cyberware and stuff for appearances to come and yeeeh :3 It's been such an insane learning experience ngl, I feel like I'm slowly getting better at understanding how all the game files work together (sort of xD). There is still one issue I can't seem to be able to resolve, but hopefully it's not gonna be a big issue once he's finished.

Currently I'm just happy I made it this far along the process, and he looks so good with my customized skin textures and all aaahhh ;___;

Some shenanigans I encountered along the way below the cut xD

Wrong Face Texture, Who dis:

Impostor spotted!

Fashion!

The cursed farmer's tan saga:

This is still somewhat unresolved, kept running into problems with custompathing a specific material (skintones were always correct, I redid this like. 12 times with various approaches and yeh no. No idea other than he's haunted).

Vincent Purplehand:

(aka be careful where you put your roughness maps aka Ezaki evening fashion aka putting on the extra large cleaning gloves to clear out the trash from Kerry's villa)

Excited to see what shenanigans I will run into with clothes XD But also looking forward to learning even more uwu

Having AMM and ACM as main modding playground but not being able to ask questions related to those two mods cause I'm not in the discord server makes me understand people who hates discord servers being the "new" forums
