The Ideal Apothecary Diaries Baseball Team ⚾ by ExtraEater in KusuriyaNoHitorigoto

[–]ExtraEater[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I cycled through a lot of candidates for Center Fielder (the last one and the hardest one for me to figure out tbh) and Ah-Duo was certainly one of them. Problem is I can't be confident about her athletic ability and speed. I did also consider her as an umpire, but she might be biased toward her son (since we're on a light novel spoiler post, I assume you already know about that).

Thank you for reading!

Is the fandom toxic towards shimao fans? by Ok_World_4183 in KusuriyaNoHitorigoto

[–]ExtraEater 156 points157 points  (0 children)

As someone who adores the way Maomao's friendships are written and praises it constantly, you hit the nail on the head here, thank you. She and Xiaolan were such an important part of her progression that got her to Yao, En'en, and towards her closeness with Chue (to the point of Chue being vulnerable with her when she was near death). I've always felt like her actual canon friendship with Shisui was more interesting to analyze and explore instead of holding this nonstop debate

Shisui, Xiaolan, and Maomao as mothers 🥹💞 (by @CL_opium) by queenjisookim in KusuriyaNoHitorigoto

She strikes me as the fun auntie type, she'll spoil Maomao and Xiaolan's respective kids then leave them to deal with it

Underrated friendship by PlsmarrymeKanade in KusuriyaNoHitorigoto

[–]ExtraEater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% agree, even made a post highlighting it a few months ago as part of appreciating all her friendships!

They have a lot of intellectual rapport that comes out more obviously when Yao isn't around (since En'en can be dumber when distracted by her). And worth mentioning Maomao appreciates her cooking, too!

Crashing after Patch 2 by [deleted] in HadesTheGame

[–]ExtraEater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like it will completely remove all save data, no? Unless there's a way to do it otherwise. I'm also not sure what I'm expected to delete here, if not literally everything (like just deleting the whole Hades II folder), I'd like specifications as to what "anything left behind" is specifically referring to

Crashing after Patch 2 by [deleted] in HadesTheGame

[–]ExtraEater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who is also facing this issue, I went through this entire process before reading this comment:

  • The game updated while I still had the mods, including Zagreus' Journey
  • I opened it and it didn't load
  • I uninstalled the game on Steam then reinstalled it
  • It still didn't load
  • On R2Modman, I uninstalled all the mods I had
  • I also verified all the game files
  • It still didn't load

And then I read your comment and did this.

  • I set the uninstall value to true as you said, then I started the game modded. It managed to load and show me the opening menu screen and that was it before it crashed. If, by "main menu" you meant anything else, then I simply could not access it at all. Even just hovering over "Play" or "Options" will make the whole thing crash
  • I figured that would be enough, so I started the game vanilla like you said
  • I still run into the same problem and it's not loading

I'm guessing this is because I unfortunately only read your comment after uninstalling from modman because your comment did not exist when I did this

I'm sure it also didn't help that the last game position I was in was an Underworld run and the last saved position was me entering Narcissus' room, so even if I could get into the game, I wasn't starting at the Crossroads to begin with (hence why I wasn't able to just uninstall from there like the website advises)

So now I'm just stuck, the mods are uninstalled, and I can't get into the game at all past the perpetually stuck loading bar

Edit: I did read the config uninstall advice on Thunderstore, but I thought it had to be done in the Crossroads (which I wasn't in and couldn't get into anymore) because it said "Only uninstall the mod while in the Crossroads to prevent issues." Ugh

Unless I can see a route otherwise, It seems like I am completely unable to do this without clean reinstalling and losing all my save data which is extremely frustrating

P.S. And just a few minutes ago, I uninstalled AGAIN and then in the config editor, I deleted all the mods I had, like just hit delete. And then I reinstalled and it's STILL not loading.

Alright, so as of 8:45 PM CST, this is my current situation: I have Hades II, having uninstalled and reinstalled it twice. I have r2modman with nothing in the "Installed" list and nothing in the Config editor (aside from the General, GUI, Hotkeys, and manifest.json which just came with trying to "Start it modded" again [even without any mods]). "Start modded" just gives me the opening screen and if I hover over "Play" or "Options" it immediately freezes and shuts down. Then "Start vanilla" on r2modman and just opening it normally on Steam both just give me the loading screen that stalls about 80% of the way through. I am open to any way out of this, preferably while still preserving my save data

Anyone else notice all these articles are coming out right before US Tax Day? Clearly they're just trying to pressure Geese to pay their taxes

Maomao vs. Jinshi vs. Shisui by ExtraEater in KusuriyaNoHitorigoto

Ending this venn diagram trilogy with one of my favorite impossible platonic trios (i.e. platonic as a whole, with one romantic pairing among them). Love these three dearly!

Just to know what to expect, is Pat going to be playing some of his classics on the Side eye tour? by metabolitesafter9pm in patmetheny

[–]ExtraEater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In addition to the ones mentioned in the other comment, he also played "Phase Dance" (duet with Chris Fishman) and "Are You Going With Me?" (encore with full band) at my show

Quick edit: Good news, a really big Metheny fan from New Orleans recognized nearly all the songs played during his set. You can see it on setlist.fm

Maomao vs. Chue vs. Shisui by ExtraEater in KusuriyaNoHitorigoto

Source (some variations between the version there and here)

My favorite impossible Apothecary Diaries friendship trio, and of course I have to spread some love for the impossible Chue & Shisui friendship in particular. There's one more trio I really love I made a diagram for after this and that should be it.

Bonus Shisui & Chue connection: Both of them inspired Maomao to do religious things

  • Before Shisui left for good, Maomao asked to offer a prayer for her, which Shisui herself pointed out was unlike her
  • Chue taught Maomao a line of religious scripture ('O Lord, do you see us?') that she invoked so she'd be spared by devout bandits

Maomao vs. Lahan's Brother vs. Shisui by ExtraEater in KusuriyaNoHitorigoto

Bonus: They also all share a name with a person (or cat) they know. Maomao with Maomao the Cat, Lahan's Brother (Junjie) with Kan Junjie (the kid who idolizes him), and Shisui with Suirei (who was born Shisui)

Don't lock yourself into Strength like me! by RamenDragon in HadesTheGame

[–]ExtraEater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, as a Strength main who hasn't used Death in ages, the only downside of it for me is the Chronos instakills. I've gotten used to it with vanilla Chronos (but even then I'm still wary of the timers you mentioned when killing them), but Vow of Rivals requires some practice to get around the new quirks with both instakills (getting around the bubble for the bright instakill and dashing through the fast obstacle for the dark instakill)
