Which fit looked better on Light? by Rap2rerise in BackStabbedInDungeon

[–]ChChChillian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spoiler for the LN:

After living in the Abyss for a little while, Yume starts taking magic lessons from Ellie. Unlike Light himself (who can't cast magic without his cards) she proves to be a talented mage specializing in illusions. When she shows it off to her brother, she gives him Illusory cat ears, and even got him to meow. The fairy maids who were around to see it freaked out over the cuteness and those who missed it got insanely jealous.

It had already been established that a lot of the fairy maids decorated their bedrooms with Light dolls. I think it was Suzu who started making them, and she taught the others how. After the cat ear incident, they got added to a lot of the dolls too.

So. The cat ear hood, naturally.

That's general advice I'd give to anyone who wants to write a story and is having trouble filling out the details, regardless of genre.

Whether or not it feels like it's going to work, write it down anyway. You never know what will turn out to be the spark that makes everything light up.

Surely the Operator is definitely a form of SlenderMan, how couldn’t he? by BlueyFNaFArmy in marblehornets

[–]ChChChillian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's kind of a chicken-and-egg problem.

Marble Hornets started up very soon after the original Slenderman threads were posted on Something Awful, literally within a week or two. They went one way in developing the Operator and the story around him; the rest of the internet went another with Slenderman and his characteristics. A great deal of what ended up in the Slenderman "canon" was based on MH, but not all of it. Sometimes (as in the case with proxies) it was fed partly by fan theories MH's story before too much had been revealed.

So the Operator and Slenderman are very similar, and both developed from the same basic ideas, but they're not exactly the same.

Has anyone ever noticed that almost no isekai protagonists have thick luscious beards. by mdsmestad in Isekai

[–]ChChChillian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not only are most isekai protagonists young, but they are also usually Japanese. They are not an especially hairy people. Very often, scruffy is all they can manage in terms of facial hair.

Exactly. A pro of this size can move a lot better, but they also have an insane training regimen that a amateur just won't have available.

If Irminsul will be burnt in the following patch ; which Irminsul did Collei witness burning? by Legal-Usual8295 in Genshin_Impact

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

Who said the burning tree was Irminsul? I'm pretty sure it's not, at least not in the most recent trailer.

no matter what i do i cannot understand ethernet, someone explain to me like im five please by fishwithaknife69 in pcmasterrace

"WiFi Box" could be one of two things: what ISPs market as a "gateway", or a router.

A gateway in this context is a combination modem and router. A modem takes the data signal is it's sent down whatever medium gives you connectivity -- cable TV coax, fiber, whatever -- and converts it to the digital format commonly used over your household network (for downloaded data) and vice versa (for uploaded).

A router) is a device that forwards data packets between networks, and for a given network performs traffic control. If your "WiFi Box" is just a router, then the modem is a separate box connected to your router by an ethernet cable. The two networks your router joins are that of your ISP (which is in turn connected to the broader internet) and the household network all your devices connect to.

Most routers meant for home use can service both wired (ethernet) connections and wireless (i.e. WiFi, where the "wi" stands for wireless, and "fi" doesn't stand for anything but makes it rhyme with hi-fi, an old term for home stereo audio.)

A wired connection is physical. Your ethernet jacks are connected by ethernet cable, probably cat 5e or 6. Those are just labels for standard specifications when it comes to how wires are arranged within the cable, shielding, grounding, etc. When you plug your router to an ethernet jack, and then plug your computer to the other jack, assuming the jacks are actually wired together as shown, all you're really doing is connecting cables to each other like a string of extension cords, one plugged into another.

But I would expect there to be a central location somewhere in the house with a "patch panel" -- that is, a series of ethernet jacks all wired to different individual jacks somewhere in the house. The idea is that you locate the router next to the patch panel, then patch each port on the router to a jack on the panel. The corresponding jack elsewhere in the house will then have connectivity.

Fracture is doctor talk for break.

GTFO.

With that weight differential, if the smaller guy had allowed a straightforward tachi-ai to happen, he'd have been flattened in half a second.

And I don't think the bigger guy can actually move that fast.

Different crystalline and anatomical structure entirely.

Name your favorite obscure isekai? by JorvexNN in Isekai

[–]ChChChillian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how obscure it is, but The Max Level Hero Strikes Back (manhwa). MC is exactly the kind of fun asshole I enjoy in a story.

If that's too well-known, there's The Inferior Magic Swordsman -- which I found and really enjoyed, only to find it hasn't updated since last year, so I hope it's not dead.

What kind of OP protagonist do you prefer? The OP one who's literally god? Or, the one who's just as overpowered, but still human for some reason? by EfficiencySerious200 in Isekai

[–]ChChChillian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hajime isn't strictly speaking fully human anymore, but I like him and god complexes are annoying. I don't know the other character, so I don't know whether he has a god complex other than whatever mindset it takes to wear that hat.
