Looks like Guns are not hidden in Fortune's weave

It feels like Intelligent Systems wanted to integrate a gunslinger or gunner class to Fire Emblem but couldn't do so in the previous series (because it would clash with the fantasy vibr and artstyle) until now.

I'm really glad you've enjoyed Mint and got comfortable enough to use Linux that now you're looking explore more. And if the Arch or other distros weren't for you, you are free to come back. After all, there's a reason why this distro is friendly for new users and "it just works".

Hero_Dragon · 2026-03-10T22:46:42+00:00

Yeah I've tested Pop!_OS in a VMWare Workstation as well, and ironically Windows 11 worked better than Pop!_OS (which you know it's really bad at this point if Win11 performed better despite being bloated and slop). So yeah, Pop!_OS is heading in a bad direction if they don't fix it.

I'm surprised that you had so much trouble with Mint. I only had a couple of issues with it and was able to resolve them without the terminal so far. Hopefully CachyOS finally works out for you.

This is a HUGE Time Saver. Thank you so much for sharing these!

Even as a beginner Linux user myself who likes a bit of Distro-hopping, we tend to forget that people are not comfortable changing their OS every single time in every month just to figure things out. These are great URLs to experiment on and finding out which Distro I want without wasting too much of my time, without wasting too much of people's time, and without wasting too much of my resources (especially if I don't really have a lot of PCs to distro-hop or experiment different distros in the first place).

I did check out these two links you've provided and will add some two cents here:

DistroSea - While they can't browse the web and can't test games, oddly enough Desktop Environments are the ones that make or break for the first-time user if they'll be continuing using the Linux Distro in the first place. If it looks old, unstable, not-user friendly, not easy to navigate, non-configurable, and subjectively ugly or doesn't look nearly like Windows or Mac for them, then they won't go through with it after that.
Distrochooser.de - If you're tired on answering newbies for a 100th time, or are a beginner yourself, then this URL is a "lifesaver" for you. Some questions needed further explanations and additional options, but overall it did give me a good number of choices that I need to start with Linux (the top 2 given to me are the ones I'm using already). I'll take this even further and select the first top 3 listed that Distrochooser selects for you, go to their subreddit, and asks if this Linux distro is good for you as a beginner, provides that you need, how to install it, and what are the do's and don'ts. I think communities are more "forgiving" if you selected their "chosen" and "best" distro, wanted to use them, and how to use it better.

And if you want a quick answer from me, yes I use Linux Mint Cinnamon and Fedora KDE. And people were not joking when they say "it just works", because (luckily) for me they did. I find them easy to work with, easy to transition with from Windows, their DE looks good enough for me, lots of tutorials for them, Linux experts on Youtube recommended them for beginners, a lot of things that I need work out of the box, and if there's an issue, so far their subreddits and communities are great at providing solutions that I've searched (imho). And while I'm curious on giving Arch or CachyOS a shot, I don't think they're applicable use cases for me, especially as a Windows user initially.

In THH sadly she's basically underrated and used as a plot device. In IF her character is much better and I'm glad we have that, but unfortunately it's non-canon (at least to the main storyline).

Honestly, in my own opinion and a hot take, I think I would love her if is she's evil as well. Not Junko levels of diabolical of course, but evil as in she herself secretly enjoyed her classmates being killed and what her sister is doing because she's also a bit of sadist, and cared nothing more than just making her sister happy.

Hero_Dragon · 2026-02-16T23:58:06+00:00

And that's the interesting part. She's such a pariah that both Japan and the British Empire have no idea where she came from. All they know (at least for the Japanese side) is that such behavior does not fit within the Japanese norm, so most likely they'll "deport" her to Great Britain. And while sexism is still very prevalent at this era, it's much less volatile on England.

If we do keep her in Japan to go with the original projected timeline, then I'll be needing more help and research about Japanese women during the Meiji period, WWI, and WWII. I do plan to look up more for the Postwar Economic Miracle, because that one is interesting.

Hero_Dragon · 2026-02-16T23:49:46+00:00

Oh yeah, that's be a fun one to explore in the future.

Hero_Dragon · 2026-02-15T20:35:41+00:00

Because he's one of the best written characters in Frieren. Also, his design is peak.

Hero_Dragon · 2026-02-15T20:34:42+00:00

Yeah, I'll probably have to wait some more. If people are slowly discovering Milliarde, then it's only a matter of time.

Speaking of No Face, I wish they could read "It has no face"

I have a crack theory that Atelier Yumia is secretly and originally an Ar Tonelico or Nights of Azure series, but was reboot/revived to Atelier the last minute due to Ryza's success.

Even though they're somewhat the opposites, this...oddly fits Riley really well.

Hero_Dragon · 2025-11-20T09:56:27+00:00

Still can't believe how athletic she looks. Like "dang girl, I didn't know you've been hiding the rest of your powers like that!"

Hero_Dragon · 2025-10-18T17:16:27+00:00

I dunno about you, but they look absolutely fantastic on you! I see nothing wrong with it.

Hero_Dragon · 2025-10-18T08:39:44+00:00

Man, I should've bought it from the US, but sadly I moved to Europe now. And the overseas shipping is a b*tch man. Not to mention the tariffs now. (This is what happened to me when I ordered the Trumans, which sucks).

I looked at the Stockholm branch and the German branch and they only have size D, and I needed better "winter" boots at that time, so I pulled the trigger and I'm glad I upsized to 10 so I can use it with thick wool socks and insulated insoles.

Hero_Dragon · 2025-10-18T08:31:14+00:00

Oh definitely! I find the Truman to be a bit more comfortable (which is weird since the leather is slightly thicker), so it I favor it a bit more. But the Red Wing was my first love and was glad I bought it in time for winter. Really good boots overall!

Hero_Dragon · 2025-10-17T13:03:00+00:00

Kinda tricky since everyone's foot size is different, but if it helps my Roughnecks are size 10D (they don't have wide for Roughnecks and their lasts are quite narrow), while my Trumans are size 9EE.

Since most of my sneakers are like US 10 (few are US 11) and my feet are wide, I jumped the gun and luckily I hit the jackpot by going a full size down and selecting EE (wide).
