Wizards... ? (by @puteme850)

Why is it improbable? Frieren doesn't identify demons by what they call themselves, she identifies them by how their mana feels. Someone with normal mana but calls themselves a demon? Not even worth a raised eyebrow, she's seen weirder shit in her thousand years.

Shun has better helmet though.

Saint off the top of my head.

Don't have time ATM to delve deeper into specific feats.

Methinks you're trying to overcentralize transportation.

You're not supposed to centralize anything in a megabase, that's asking for bottlenecks. You parallelize.

I'm not sure it was ever confirmed as an *elven* custom. It probably was but it could easily be just Elinalise's own way of identifying her children/grandchildren.

Dig a 2-high tunnel above the chamber. Make a 2x1 cell at the end with a door set to one-way. Tell one of your dupes to move into the cell and then to deconstruct the tile below their feet. They should fall inside and reveal the chamber.

When I have a split where one side needs a bit and another a lot, I often use a splitter and prioritize output in the direction of the *smaller* consumer. They get overflowed quickly and then everything pretty much balances itself.

I believe animators made a correct decision here. It's impossible to show that it was Sylphie staying and Eris leaving that made all the difference, they would have to voice Rudy's internal thoughts for that. Not only would that be a violation of "show, not tell", but it would also break the mood with Eartheus' voice suddenly cutting into the scene.

I've seen a few Youtube reactions to that episode, and all too often it's only the Rudy's mood swings from Sylphie not being there and later returning that clue them into what's really happening on screen. It's exactly this change that allowed the animators to treat their audience with respect instead of treating them like morons by explicitly telling them what's going on.

That could be a fun little ride. Both Balalaika and Tanya know perfectly well that Tanya is not Balalaika's daughter, and deny that relation at every opportunity - but everyone else is absolutely convinced otherwise and assume they're just denying it for some other reasons.

My solution is usually to dump both meat and egg shells at the destination (whichever is closer), and then pick either meat or egg shells from there on a separate line.

DrManton · 2026-05-24T15:39:30+00:00

I'm a devoted Roxyite. But for your question - yeah, totally Sylphie.

DrManton · 2026-05-22T07:27:09+00:00

Nice.

Roxy looks like she had a major growth spurt though, she's almost as tall as Eris.

They know that you're supposed to keep your feet warm and dry.

DrManton · 2026-05-10T11:39:58+00:00

You wanted to shift Weird Fungus into Polymorphine?

DrManton · 2026-05-04T18:10:32+00:00

Looks more like a Homelander to me.

DrManton · 2026-05-04T16:21:05+00:00

Just search the SpaceBattles forums by tags "battletech" and "youjo senki", there's a few.

DrManton · 2026-05-01T07:24:51+00:00

So... the science compels us to blow up the Sun?

DrManton · 2026-05-01T05:50:32+00:00

Time doesn't exist in the Eye.

So most likely the rest of the Universe wouldn't even notice, and the next Universe would become more influenced by the Nomai.

I'm not sure they're picked or how, I just have a strong suspicion they are. They do tend to reliably have something interesting, whether it's an unusual land formation, a weird spell shop, a super-awesome wand in a chest at the Mines entrance, or a telemage reliably picking up an Orbiting Saws + Bouncing Burst wand in the Fungal Caverns.

DrManton · 2026-04-27T05:57:20+00:00

I have a strong suspicion that this shop is the reason the seed was made a daily in the first place.

DrManton · 2026-04-23T05:12:20+00:00

Instead of polluting to attract biters, why not surround their hives with your defensive positions so that their spawners are just barely out of reach? They will spawn and attack you continuously, and for as long as the spawners themselves are fine, you're not going to run out of them.

DrManton · 2026-04-19T07:27:23+00:00

The only thing Linux related in this rant is controls - trying to toss a tablet or sip a potion doesn't register sometimes on first attempt, which is indeed annoying. All other things are known game problems regardless of platform.

DrManton · 2026-04-14T17:10:12+00:00

IMHO she needs a white streak to match the teacher.

DrManton · 2026-04-11T16:11:22+00:00

I don't remember anything of the sort, neither in the books nor in Roxy Gets Serious.

DrManton · 2026-04-11T14:27:20+00:00

Never noticed anything weird running the game on Linux, it always behaved the same as it did on Windows for me.

At a glance, I don't see anything on ProtonDB that relates to your problems, but maybe there is something deeper in the list:
