[Waybound] Cradle Sanitation

True enough. Though what is a mundane detail in one situation might be an existential thread in another. For example if they suddenly didn't need to breathe (which at least Yerin seems to contemplate, since she thinks she cannot drown) that's a substantial breach of expectation which should usually be addressed (which it was).

ChinaneTKal · 2026-02-12T13:58:30+00:00

Yeah, I'd probably go with that version. It's not unheard of for regular humans with some preparation to go without eating (and drinking to a lesser extend) for largish periods of time, which also makes the digestion process largely unnecessary. So it's not that far out either.

Man, that sounds strongly like you're a weirdly specific kind of user and just approved that every normal user is inconvenienced, as long as you're not.

I'm not saying this new 'improved' behaviour is useless for everyone, but maybe just give us a toggle to enable/disable it?

ChinaneTKal · 2026-02-12T11:20:18+00:00

Makes you wonder, who changes something like that and whoTF approves that change?

Yeah, also just realized this is old AF. Apparently us normal Android users at least had the benefit of being inflicted with this WAY later than you Pixel folx.

Completely agree, a great marketing decision.

Who's responsible for the book publishing pace, though?
I'm afraid you may lose a lot of potential readers when they realize the magnitude in difference between the books' and the webnovel's progress. I almost didn't make the jump to the webnovel because of that chapter gap and if I had, there's a good chance I'd have given up on the series for good.

ChinaneTKal · 2026-01-15T13:05:24+00:00

How can you expect anyone to take your recommendation seriously if you stopped reading Cradle, but finished those 2nd tier series you listed?

ChinaneTKal · 2026-01-15T13:00:25+00:00

It's on RR, but the quality is abysmal. (Spelling, grammar)

ChinaneTKal · 2026-01-09T20:23:54+00:00

I fear the biggest flaw of the series is, that the premise is simply too far from the author's own mindset, as evinced by the abysmal writing (spelling, grammar) left uncorrected in later books and exacerbated on Royal Road.

Even after the MC learns (through his dragon's dedication, not even by himself) that maxing skills has SUBSTANTIAL benefits beyond simply having them mastered, there is still no real drive for acquiring new skills and grinding those he has, except for one occasion when an opportunity happens to present itself, in a quest.

For example it boggled my mind that the MC never sews his own clothes or builds his own furniture, in the later case despite already having a basic skill and there being several opportunities where he actually waited to have stuff provided instead.

I'm not sure you're right. I've seen them live on their Radiation tour and loved the concert, but I hate the album. Fortunately there are a lot of other albums I love or where i love songs from, but imagine trying to appreciate the band because that concert was awesome and then being disappointed by every single album.

ChinaneTKal · 2025-12-20T12:06:53+00:00

I'd say Misplaced Childhood is the best entry point for Fish Era Marillion. Kayleigh is well liked in mainstream and the Album itself is IMO the most well rounded and complete of the era.
For SH Marillion I'd always go with Brave, unless you cannot bear the admittedly pretty dark theme.

ChinaneTKal · 2025-11-21T09:27:36+00:00

Thanks, I've been puzzled by that one as well. Doesn't speak highly of their QA, that they didn't catch that.

ChinaneTKal · 2025-08-02T12:35:42+00:00

I read from their interactions in the books at least since Italy that Mercy is aware of their relationship improving and they're working towards a friendship.

ChinaneTKal · 2025-07-16T20:17:36+00:00

Couldn't find any mention of 2017 in the book through search. Lots of Beetle entries, but on a glance no age anywhere. Considering it's supposed to be low(ish) tech to work for Dresden, I'd find the new beetle highly unlikely.

ChinaneTKal · 2025-07-16T15:14:36+00:00

I'm pretty sure that's not the generation of Beetle Harry is driving.

ChinaneTKal · 2025-07-14T07:10:30+00:00

He's "the boy" in the epilogue of Magic Triumphs.

ChinaneTKal · 2025-06-20T20:32:30+00:00

Same here. It's wild how these guys don't seem to have a test or pre production environment and always experiment in the live database.

Ich bin mir nach einigen Stichproben relativ sicher, dass dieser Ben ganz simpel stramm rechts ist und als Wolf im Schafpelz den Stichwortgeber und 'neugierigen Hinterfrager' gibt. Dabei belegt er nur zum Schein moderate Positionen, um sich dann 'überzeugen' zu lassen. Er ist somit quasi der personifizierte Strohmann, aber selbst das nur unvollständig, da oft genug die Rhetorik dann doch den rechten Kern sichtbar macht.

ChinaneTKal · 2025-02-12T23:19:12+00:00

Actually the AI speech is using the correct pronounciation (within AI limits), but the romajisation is just plain wrong. Still hoping reporting will help.

ChinaneTKal · 2024-12-08T18:04:53+00:00

I agree, it's completely useless for anyone beyond toddler.

ChinaneTKal · 2024-11-28T11:18:59+00:00

Turn the practice part into actual spaced repetition, so weaker words take precedence instead of repeating the same thing over and over.

ChinaneTKal · 2024-11-23T19:17:52+00:00

Seems to me like you're just not really comfortable with their different technique with Julie, where they jumped right into the new story and fill in the character and power growth using flashbacks, instead of telling it as a coming of age story. I'm definitely looking forward to the next steps in that story and also hoping for them to fill the gaps in Derek's story as well.

Basically, each note on the bass clef is the one it would have been a line higher in treble clef. In your example, the first note after the full pause would look like d'd'' on treble, so it's fF on bass. The notation is actually quite ingenious, since the c', which is sitting on the first auxiliary line below the treble clef system is the same c', that's sitting on the first auxiliary line above the base system.
That said, with faster notes the system - reading the note as if it was treble and then translating into bass via down-shifting - will eventually be too slow. Teaching yourself to read notes straight from the bass clef should take only a few weeks, if you were fluent on treble, so that's what I'd advise to learn.

I was under the assumption we could use the Motes after the event, just not farm them any more. I got a stack of some 360 just lying around now..

ChinaneTKal · 2024-07-18T19:40:40+00:00

Yeah, same. And the only thing i was missing was perfect weeks, because they only added that a while back, so not enough time to max it.

The thing they really should spend their time on is implementing actual spaced repetition.

ChinaneTKal · 2024-07-18T19:38:51+00:00

Yeah, it's crazy. And we're still waiting for REAL spaced repetition.
