@NullNowhere Irony is that the fan translations looks official.
Wish we could get some anime in their campaign world (Lodoss Wars aside). Really would be a lot of fun, and the FF/DQ/MMO type fantasy isekai “system” is pretty tired by now.
And again, Grassrunner will never not be funny 
That and the giant eared elves!
@NullNowhere That’s awesome. Please do report back if you buy it and play it.
Also. Grass runners
@NullNowhere I think some of the interest comes from gaming as well. Gaming on Linux is actually a thing now.
@NullNowhere I like that one too. Nice mix of OP and inept. I hope the romantic subplot doesn’t slow things down too much though. She’s a fun character.
Takopi I haven’t watched. Very dark doesn’t sound too much what I need though:/
Any good shows people are picking up this season?
(Ignoring that he has a bunch of last season episodes left to watch and like an idiot has started to watch new shows.)
The ugly girl becomes beautiful trope is so tired. The ugly duckling exposed it a long time ago. They were always beautiful.
It just feels so insulting in many ways and is very seldom done well.
But if done well I don’t mind it. But it’s generally not from ugly but rather from an unfortunate state.
@NullNowhere I had no idea that there was an American English special term for it. The more you know:)
Not a drinker myself though, so I don’t think too much about it unless I speak with others.
@NullNowhere Hefe? My German isn’t great. Now I’m not sure it’s German:) I know Weißen, but not weizen. Hmm.
Good luck!
@NullNowhere Might depend on one’s point of view. Is the goal the only important part or is the continuous strive to reach the goal the important part?
One thing I’ve always liked is the so called zero vision (nollvision if you want to look it up). The idea is to have zero seriously injured and zero dead in traffic each year.
But it’s not about actually getting there, say mission accomplished, and let it start failing again. It’s about continuously working towards the goal. Doing things like rebuilding roads to become less dangerous and introducing less dangerous designs such as the Spanish left turn and the round about.
So applying the same idea to suffering the goal would be no suffering, but the continous work would be to prevent and ease suffering to the best of our abilities. To never stop if you will.
Sorry, long explaination for such a simple concept! I just like it because there’s a tangible example of it. Though some nations have failed in copying it (I assume due to poor application hindered by politics or corporations). I think the philosophy is generally applicable.
@NullNowhere Knowing what kind of sponges my countrymen are I’m pretty sure they drank anything Brännvin later on has some interesting history as well.
Is that like a mead with hops, or more complicated?
@NullNowhere Yet I, as an actual viking (or direct descendant and born and raised) has never had it. Which is kinda odd
There’s this mead guy on YouTube (shorts) making all sorts of crazy ones. Ever seen that guy? Some even sound good, BUT I have this intent dislike for wine (only ones I can tolerate a bit are expensive red ones, the rest taste like fermented garbage, including real actual champagne etc). So I don’t know what I’d think
@NullNowhere @fujiwara I haven’t intuied your location (I’m not too difficult to pin down) but I’m something as unusual as a viking that don’t drink:)
I really should try mead at some point. Which seems pretty easy to make.
@NullNowhere The fan translations of Sword World looks 100% official. It’s kind of scary how good they are.
I’ve just quick looked at some of it, and watched some videos about the game and how it’s played (and the love for Call of Cthulhu).
Long/short aside (nothing stopping one from just making a long campaign. Lodoss Wars is pretty epic after all) the Japanese “style” feels far more at home to me than the American one.
I’ve always liked the storytelling over rules way and that’s what I grew up on. That and the stay in character at all times. I can’t watch let’s plays due to all the jokes etc.
Anyways, was just curious:) Haven’t played for decades and am no longer able to. But I miss I dearly.
(Well worth taking a look at btw, seemed very well put together.)
@NullNowhere Ever tried Sword World?
Some people are royalists. I’m more of a Guillotinist myself.
(I also have to get up early and trek through traffic tomorrow. So yeah. That’s a thing.)
Random thought meant to hurt your brain a bit.
If you travelled in time. Even for a short period of time either way. If you did, you would reappear in space.
Earth spins around itself. But it also spins around the sun. Then our solar system is moving in the galaxy (whichever way I do not know) and the galaxy is moving away from the center of the universe.
I can’t pull the exact speeds out. But they are staggeringly fast. Traveling a second through time would more than likely kill you. My guess is guaranteed death, but again, numbers
A day? You’d be in space.
This is why time travelled parties are so dull, nobody can find them.
People who summon random people from other worlds to fight their wars for them are massive wankers.
Anime is very good at the batshit crazy character. Often multiple ones. Just unhinged completely out there.
Makes me wonder how that came to be.
What if the Witchfinder General was a nice bloke just trying to find witches so they could go to witch school? Instead of a giant wanker of a knobhead.
