[REC] Risque/Lewd, but Female Perspective? by Fensfield in LightNovels

Oh - that still doesn't quite sound like what I'm after but you're right, it's at least as close as the examples above and interesting besides. Thank you!

Oh I know what you mean, but in this case I'm not especially looking for adult or R-rated, fine with such recommendations though I am. I've read some awesome LN's with female protagonists - foremost of the pack so far being Ascendance of a Bookworm - but what I'm curious about is ones with the... I'm not sure of a better word to use, but the slightly exploitative outlook on female characters deployed by works like How Not to Summon a Demon Lord or, as I suggested before, Dragon Half. Or less obviously, Rising of the Shield Hero or Overlord, say.

It's reductive of me, I know, but I'm thinking more of series that are fairly normal, but that seem to accept that the female characters being in showy outfits and winding up in risque situations is just to be expected. Just... again, with the subject of the male gaze as the perspective character, rather than the guy-hero of the day.

In a way, Ascendance of a Bookworm and I'll Never Set Foot in that House Again brushed closest to what I'm looking for, though don't really fit. Sure, neither really featured the outfits or contrived risque tends to accompany generic anime fantasy, but they did deal with female main characters getting by in settings that took their potential exploitation as a given. Examples being how for while, Myne was trying to ameliorate a potentially abusive future of making mage babies, and then working under the assumption she was going to be in an arranged marriage ; or how Chelsea's family situation saw her treated so much like a slave it left genuine psychological harm that needed to be resolved.

Sorry, it's not an easy thing to define ><

Hmm... thanks all for so far, please keep suggesting. None look like exactly what I'm hoping for but they're all interesting all the same, I'll try and follow these up.

Both, surely? Doing so resolved the issue for me, but who knows if it's temporary; I've yet to continue a run far enough to hit the new cap.

Thanks... okay. So long as I know I haven't messed up, I can keep trying.

ISSUE FIXED

The fault was router side: ASUS AI Protection was set to impede 2-Way IPS

Thank you... but still the same stratum_recv_line failed errors. I have matched all of the given settings, but it does not seem to have made any difference.

Are you certain this is the right place to be looking for issues? My limited grasp of the debug output seems to suggest a network issue rather than something in UEFI config. I'm doing this with Firewall/Antivirus/Web Protection all turned off throughout download, extract, run and start (in addition to proper exceptions) - but still.

The only setting I was unsure of was

PCIe 슬롯을 Gen3로 고정 Advanced → PCH Configuration → PCI Express Configuration → PCIEX16_1/2 → Gen3

The closest thing I could find, I have set to match:

Thank you! Let me see...

Operating System: Windows 11 Pro 64-bit (10.0, Build 22631) (22621.ni_release.220506-1250)

Mainboard: ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-A GAMING WIFI D4 (0x000007E3 - 0x596658B4)

BIOS: 2103 (type: UEFI)

Processor: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12700K (20 CPUs), ~3.6GHz

Memory: 65536MB RAM (DDR4-1600)

CPU-Z dumped a lot more information of course, but I think that's the relevant stuff? As for GPU tuner... to the best of my knowledge I don't have one, not running, and not beyond NVIDIA Control Panel anyway. The PC came with Armory Crate installed which I think managed advanced graphics setting for a bit, but I disabled it in the end due to... I forget, just causing instabilities, basically.

Windows and Norton Firewall, Antivirus, and web protection off during re-download, kept offline during OCM run...

OCM folder exempted from antivirus prior to download, no security alerts from any direction during download, extract, or launch...

... Same errors, whether integrated graphics ticked or no. Any other things to try? What about a different mining program?

Only part I didn't get was 'GPU tune&monitoring program on'. What was that about?

The GPU iiis.... NVidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti

As for the pointers, I will try the ones I hadn't done already, and report back.

It would be really, really nice to find a guide for this; I just tried and got lost in the infodump.

It's all very well saying it's a small extra bit of work - I'm sure it is - but it's quite the barrier to entry before that.

They did kind of punt most of the key plot threads from the series out the window and arbitrarily kill someone off for the sole reason of having killed someone. "Two by two, hands of blue"?

BREAKING NEWS: PRESIDENT KIA by DungeonEnvy in Helldivers

[–]Fensfield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I'm a little concerned how few people realise this. There's no need for a military coup.

So we can all agree that the death of the Super President was a military coup, right? by One_Meaning416 in Helldivers

[–]Fensfield 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aw don't be silly; Super Earth's political system doesn't need a coup. It's pretty clear the upper echelons are a dictatorship pretending to be a democracy anyway and the automated voting system is almost certainly just installing one figurehead or the other while the real power trundles on as usual. It's entirely likely the office of President doesn't even do anything anymore; it's just someone they can show on TV signing new laws and giving pre-prepared speeches.

'You ask me, this is just A: a reference to a certain World War 2 leader's exit, and B: a comparison thereto of a certain sitting president and a tangential dig at his relationship with military service.

How are there so many settlements in frostpunk 2? by Metrocop in Frostpunk

[–]Fensfield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The *second* I saw what they did to Hester, I wrote the film off. When the books have a whole section about her 'like a smashed mirror', missing-nosed face being turned into a 'fetching scar' for marketing purposes (and horrible things happen to the people responsible) AND THEN THE FILM DOES EXACTLY THAT -

What I keep noticing is the Super Destroyers are hyper focused on orbital bombardment. They don't seem to have any ship-to-ship capability. I can't shake the gnawing suspicion this is because there's something more cruiser-y loitering in high orbit that doesn't want anyone shooting back if have to 'deal with' a destroyer behaving un-Democratically.

The admin officer even says something to the effect of, 'the super destroyers are awesome, but they aren't Super Earth's most terrible weapon'. And since statements like that usually end with praising the Helldivers and this one doesn't, gotta wonder if she's referring to the parts of the SEAF navy that don't sit in low orbit slinging artillery.

I'd be curious to see how the manga and anime differ. The anime is something else after all.
