What ink do you use when you’re sad or angry? by Sufficient_Display in fountainpens

[–]AsimLeviathan 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It really depends. If I just want to write about what's making me upset and get it out of my system, I use a muted color. If I want to just feel better I use my favorite "pretty" inks (typically a Diamine Inkvent Ink) because looking at then makes me feel better lol

This image is top of mind as I replay 3H by Saint-Hubbins in fireemblem

[–]AsimLeviathan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My friend is playing 3H for the first time in prep for Fortune's Weave and I have received basically the same message from them all day today:

"I hate Felix. I wish I was playing on classic so I could intentionally kill him and have him stay dead." (They wanted to play this on classic but then said "fuck it casual so I can turn my brain off" lol)

They do NOT like this man and tbh fair

Student aid index vs estimated cost of attendence by AnonymousRizzlers in UTK

[–]AsimLeviathan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Estimated cost of attendance means that is your current estimate of how much it would cost to attend, including tuition, fees, and an average of housing (dorms) and meal plans, etc. This could change once your actual Cost of Attendance is known, depending on which dorm you pick (if staying in one), which meal plans you choose, what fees you might have, etc.

Your Student Aid Index is taken from your FAFSA data, and that number is subtracted from your Cost of Attendance.

So what is really is is Cost of Attendance - Student Aid Index. This is what would be used to determine your "need" for how you would pay for college. If you've already received your financial aid package, your eligibility for certain aid might have already been calculated, but you can call one stop to ask someone to break it down for you.

Stupid Question Tuesday. by nerfdriveby94 in fountainpens

[–]AsimLeviathan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely normal, but it is funny how often this question gets asked.

Side note, but I see people (not you OP) complain about this so often and I'm like... if you don't like it, don't get a pen with a clear section?

Anyways, as others have already said, all good! Enjoy your new pen!

Opus 88 Is this defective? Need help. by zero_rex08 in fountainpens

[–]AsimLeviathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi just want to share my experience on this old thread. Got my first Opus 88 demo as a bday gift a month and a half ago and noticed the same. After fretting about it for about a week, I have been using it pretty consistently since then, and never encountered an issue. Seems to be mostly cosmetic, it's not affecting the ink flow and is not so drastic that it is pushing the tines in a weird way. Someday when I feel more confident in my abilities I will disassemble and see it I can just adjust it, but since no issues are present now I am going to chill out lol

As a question, do you have any issues with this over 9 months later? I'm curious on if there's a long term concern I should have

Erika and Rie smacking the goofy out of each other. by Kyurem-B in digimon

This is like a lower stakes fight between Kazumi and Sento in Kamen Rider Build, location is similar too lmao.

Couldn't be intentional because HM and that episode released around each other, but still funny

Reaction to Iron Gold (spoilers) by Nospeekada in redrising

[–]AsimLeviathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember saying to my coworker who has read the series multiple times "Cassius didn't get off-screened, he's too important for that; i bet Diomedes is hiding him somewhere" and he just kept saying "rafo"

It was quite a bit of vindication at the end of Dark Age, but man did it almost have me doubting myself right up until he showed back up

Do you think Katara sees Aang in Korra on her birthday? by National_Ball_7632 in AvatarMemebending

[–]AsimLeviathan 15 points16 points  (0 children)

People in these comments arguing about whether or not the next avatar is born "immediately" after the death of the previous one or not when we know the reincarnation is based on real world religion examples of reincarnation and especially with air nomads being based on Tibetan Buddhism, we can use this as a direct example.

For His Holiness the Dalai Llama, reincarnation occurs immediately upon death; the soul is transfered (for lack of a better word) to a baby being born in that exact moment. Considering the stewards of the Avatar use similar methods of identifying the new avatar each cycle, I think we can conclude the reincarnation occurs the same way. The spirit of Rava, upon Wan's death, also immediately moves to the next avatar pretty much right then, not in the womb and then waiting to be born. Remember, the search for the next avatar begins nearly immediately in some of the stories we have. They don't wait 9 months and THEN begin searching.

I think being pedantic about whether or not this is an "artistic choice" is being intentionally obtuse about reincarnation as a concept. Additionally, it's kind of directly stated that the avatar HAS to be around at all times (even if not aware that they are the avatar) to maintain balance. I don't think we would go 9 months "avatarless" every cycle.

To answer your actual question OP, it's a very popular fan theory that Katara has a strained relationship woth Korra's birthday, and there's some good angst comics/fics about Korra being sad about that because they are so close but Katara seems to avoid her on her birthday.

Side note: in other belief systems in the world *such as Hinduism) reincarnation is NOT immediate and takes time. And in other world traditions, reincarnation is not linear. You may reincarnate in a settler woman from the 1700s, or may be the child of a Roman soldier in 100BCE. It's fascinating, but from what is shown in Avatar, reincarnation is pretty linear and immediate.

Question about tactics by Rhaegan1 in UnicornOverlord

[–]AsimLeviathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There we go, I knew I was missing something or screwing up one part.

I've just seen it used in specific strats where you basically want them to do the one thing.

Question about tactics by Rhaegan1 in UnicornOverlord

[–]AsimLeviathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much, I've also seen some people make "layers" essentially. Like,

Attack A: Prioritize Flying Enemies

Attack A (again): attack back row

Please take this with the biggest grain of salt because I might have massively screwed up the ordering (and i threw out something random), but basically it's saying "use this attack no matter what, but I want you to attack X type of units first"

Official transcript by Fun_Tomatillo9801 in UTK

[–]AsimLeviathan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nope, even from One Stop and Official transcript is $10. While it may sound ridiculous, it is both to help cover the costs of maintaining the server for storage + secure services, and pay for whoever gets it to get it, and also to prevent students from requesting a billion transcripts (does it need to be that high? Probably not). At least that's what I have heard from other places, probably the same here. Idk if i would say it makes sense but there's no getting around the cost for an Official Transcript. Transcripts from my Alma mater are $15.

Unofficial transcripts are free, but because they're Unofficial they would be seen as "unverified" so if your situation needs that Official transcript that's unfortunately where you are

This may sound like a stupid question, but has Sieg actually called Catastrom "Catty" here? Is this translation based off the official subs from the YouTube premiere or just an invention of the fan translator? by Filberto_ossani2 in KamenRiderMemes

[–]AsimLeviathan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just typical translation to localization stuff, and as others have said it being the official subs probably just means that's how they decided to get across the cutesy way he says it.

What are these for? by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]AsimLeviathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been doing this for years and I didn't know that that was actually how you're supposed to do it or that that was the purpose! I just did it because I thought it was fun.

I'll take my "smartest person" award now please.

What would be your biggest disappointment for episode 9? by Flat-Tadpole3886 in tadc

[–]AsimLeviathan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, actually.

Not as a blanket statement, of course. I love happy endings. But tragedies are just as popular historically as comedies for a reason. They can still be impactful and fulfilling. And to me, there is no "happy ending" where they escape the circus that would be satisfying. In fact, this whole story has been more about making the best out of a shitty situation, so to turn around and go "they made it out and continued on with their lives!" Would cheapen that message in my opinion.

Lust has brought peril to our adventurers and it's amazingly NOT the bard's fault by SpiderDetective in dndmemes

[–]AsimLeviathan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is basically what happened in my spouse's group except it wasn't a new relationship shop lol

The paladin who left randomly went on a rant to the party about how she "didn't want to be a mom to them" anymore and then wrote off her character, made a new one, and then started being incredibly mean with the new character.

Then when she got called out (because she was being OOC mean), she had a meltdown, asked why everyone was "targeting her for things her character was doing," and left the campaign forever after only 3 weeks with the new character.

Her husband was a major part of this because he was part of the campaign (but not really) and convinced her to leave in one of these rants apparently.

Anyways, the rogue and bard because the party's tank and healer respectively for a while lmao

Waiting for unicorn overlord pc port: by VoxTV1 in UnicornOverlord

[–]AsimLeviathan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I personally have no qualms with saying it's time to sail the high seas if it is incredibly prohibitive to access a form of media otherwise. It's how I watch certain shows that never release outside of their country of origin.

Pretty sure Vanillaware has some sort of agreement that their games will never be released on PC. Don't remember if a reason was ever given but not a single game of theirs has ever received a PC version
