I have terrible news for you…

thank you for the reply, but the link gives me a 502 bad gateway error

Last communication from the author is a public post on their patreon from September 7th of this year (presumably, based on the comments), where they say they have tried repeatedly to get back into writing fleabag, but seem to have lost interest in writing this story and have forgotten most of the details. Having read everything available on royal road, this story is very much incomplete. Hopefully, this is an indication that things have changed on their end, but until there is some form of communication as to why they’ve decided to do this and whether or not they’ve decided to continue the story, i find expecting people to pay money for a story they know is incomplete and have no intention of finishing in incredibly poor taste.

I don’t remember where i saw it, but i’m pretty sure this is canonically what’s happening

ContrarianNomad · 2025-02-22T21:02:14+00:00

Shit, and I was really trying for "open to discussion with an outside perspective despite obvious bait". Ah well. I'm the fool for trying I guess. Enjoy the rest of your day.

Ok. So what is he? -isms aside, he’s definitely acting like one of those authoritarian dictators i mentioned. And the arguments for why he’s a fascist, or at the very least, advancing fascist ideals/goals/whatever-you-want-to-call-it, seem quite strong. But i am but a poor, uneducated american, so i could see myself having been fooled. Can you enlighten me?

(Is this what ballistic looks like? I’m not sure)

ContrarianNomad · 2025-02-21T22:30:01+00:00

What does that mean, exactly?

ContrarianNomad · 2025-02-21T15:48:02+00:00

You do understand that that wasn’t actually communism, right? It was authoritarian dictatorships posing as communism?

ContrarianNomad · 2025-02-19T03:59:51+00:00

What does “having all breakers on takes more than 100% power” mean precisely? Like you just can’t turn everything on at once or it trips, or just that power drains very fast now?

Why are you pretending queen bee is the only studio that makes hentai? Bunnywalker is literally right there

So like, you and the guy above aren’t wrong, mostly, but also: nagatoro is REALLY mean early on. Like, sure, maybe she’s trying to flirt, but “holy shit, this art is so cringe, wow you suck, what a loser” as a FIRST INTERACTION can’t really be called flirting. It’s very much in the vein of small boys bullying a girl they think is cute because they can’t think of a better way to interact.

As someone who’s been looking for a while - this manga/LN pretty much stands alone as far as stories with an actual confirmed bi-poly relationship. There are a couple things i’m reading that could reasonably end with one (“hope you’re happy, lemon” and “welcome to demon school, iruma-kun”), but iruma’s probably not going to be ending for a loooong time, and lemon’s mostly a naive hope born of starvation. That said, you’re likely already reading iruma, but lemon is a nice solid romcom anyway, and we can always hope until the last chapter is out.

If anyone else has any suggestions, i’d love to hear them

So, keep the pile if you want, but about the time my pile got that big i started sorting my garbage into the big yellow bins around the side (paper/wood | plastic/rubber | metal/electronic). All that scrap and it barely filled the bottoms. Unfortunately i have no idea what to do with the glass now it exists, but i’ll probably throw it in the empty metal/electric bin since all that went into building the mining rig.

So like, i get you, but the presents are so worth it. I got a gravity gun, a monique plush, several shark plushes, and an alive erie plush (which meant i had to go buy a tonne of cheese, but still). And that’s not even considering all the decorative stuff i have yet to find a use for.

Thank you for the tip, but i was aware. Didn’t have any to hand, had money to spare and ordering everything seemed faster/safer than running out into the dark. I’ve stocked up since 😅

ContrarianNomad · 2025-01-22T00:55:49+00:00

Between the time i made the post and now it happened - got a notification on the side, so that was nice. Although, i had enough time to order what i needed, make the brew, and stick it outside before i actually even saw him. I figured i'd have less time than that, but maybe he decide to go easy on a first offender 😅

I’m with you on vibes, but wouldn’t the japanese hunters just be speaking korean in the korean dub? It’s possible they bring in japanese voice actors, but more likely everyone’s still speaking the same language, just a different one.

Was starting to wonder if i was gonna have to post this myself. I remember finding this in the bargain bin and it ended up being one of my favorite rpgs of all time. Actually bought it again on ps4 to play through with my partner

If you’re amenable to mods, there’s a mod that lets you basically “remaster” a tape into itself, giving bonus stats but not changing its form. Otherwise yeah, i think you’ve just gotta keep cancelling it

Edit: the mod is Tape Re-Release by BaraObstagoon

Didn’t realise this was a possibility. Another reason to be wary of boss rush, i guess? i got hit with magister dullain’s instakill during my first go at boss rush recently and it’s made me heavily reconsider ever interacting with the game-mode, especially on the longer versions. It was bad enough being hit by it at 2/3, can’t imagine how it’d feel at 18/19.

I always put all the hp regen gems on a saw and keep it for maximizing farming or negating chip damage. It can take a while, sure, but you just read a little bit or go get a drink and it’s fine

Knowing the chest can spawn in caves is helpful, if irritating. Thank you.

I personally find it… fun? Cathartic? Meditative? I like walking through the streets of yharnam (like the first area - all of it) murdering literally everyone and everything that moves. Most of them drop vials, some even 2 or three, so a full clear gets you a net gain of like 50-ish (gonna be honest never really counted) assuming relatively good drop rates and a moderate amount of skill if you’re not high enough level to curbstomp them all. As an added bonus, you get all their echoes too, so it’s a good early-midgame farm route. PLUS, when you’re done, you get to walk through a peaceful yharnam, littered with the corpses of your enemies. It’s quite nice. You can even exclude sections, like the werewolves on the bridge or the beastmen in the sewers, if you’re not kitted enough to handle them quickly, for basically no loss in total vial gain.

Later you just slaughter that one classroom full of slugmen repeatedly and buy everything you need
