      Hey do you plan on releasing clips of molly thirsting over sunday? (once you're feeling much better ofc)

    • @idunno-.-
      @idunno-.- 6 місяців тому

      Wanted to let you kindly know that maybe your 'new' outro (the himeko trailer) is a tiny bit too high on the volume end, but that could be just me though! Like the transition between the clip and the outro is a bit too sudden and differs in volume, maybe that a little volume fade in would help?
      In any case, appreciate ur content a lot :)

    Ok but Dan Heng very openly saying he’s not human in front of a guy he just met is such a good subtle way of showing his character development

      Eh, I still consider Dan Heng to be human despite the 1.2 reveal. In fact, I could even argue he's the most human of the Astral Express trio since the Trailblazer and March are obviously not only human with their unusual abilities and physical appearances and they pretty much embrace it. While Dan Heng is rather very much reserved about it compared to those two.

  • @Oathkeeper0317
    @Oathkeeper0317 6 місяців тому +437

    I like how March and Dan Heng’s interactions is clearly March trying to prod him out of his shell and he’s shutting her down without being rude. While Boothill is just being himself and Dan Heng doesn’t really know him, so he can discard the attempt at being tactful with him.

      @@violetiolite but not genuine in this case, this profile is an attention seeker. So imagine the voice actors getting attacked by everyone and instead of them try to soothe they bring more flame. In this case it was just because they saw how Boothill got popular, cause they never learn to think by themselves.

    You can tell Dan Heng is kinda a hard role for him because he likes being more goofy and animated and Dan is a really stoic character

  • @dustinabigan2776

    One thing I love with Star Rail is that the overarching theme the game has is basically taking control or deciding what you do moving forward on your own without just leaving it some outside force to do it for you. We saw that when we rejected the Stellaron's power in Belobog, the time when Belobog rejected the IPC's offer, when Dan Heng became DHIL, and when we freed people from The Order because we believed that only individual people know what they want to do with their lives, not some outside force that we don't understand.
    That's what made that final fight with Sunday so good. It's not just the fight itself, it's a battle of the wills in the idea of either letting someone decide for you in such way that they know what's best for you OR you do the deciding yourself and you embrace what happens both good and bad.

    I had a realization the other day that the conversation with Dan & Boothill about Paths is basically a reference to Nietzsche and his ideas about the "death" of Christian morality post-Enlightenment.
    Basically, "Akivili is dead", and now the Nameless must find their own morality for themselves.

I want to know how you recorded it, how you felt, how much fun it was, how you see your character and his interactions with other characters. Its so refreshing and awesome to see Nick being so passionate about Dan heng and understanding him so well. I would love to watch more of these kind of takes on other scenes in the game too! Especially the eagerness to use the jad abacus of the allying oath because that was hilarious.

    @04hinorinnn 6 місяців тому +9

    and also the talk about writing is so true. i like how hsr does that, cus every character chooses their paths, but that's not the end of the story, they still develop in some ways. hsr shows consequences of their choice and what each of them are facing. every character feels alive, bc you understand what they want and that's why i love hsr so much. plus the 2.2 gave us so much in the more significant lore department. like he said, they planted the seeds and i can only hope, that those seeds will grow in something beautiful.🩷
