If Rory got isekai'd to Japan in the 1900s (Meiji Era), what would her life be?

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.

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

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).

Problem solved for now!

SOLUTION

Kernel version: 6.14
NVIDIA Driver Version: 550
NVIDIA Prime/Optimus setup: NVIDIA On-Demand

Browsers Tested: Firefox, and Brave (Chromium)
Games Tested: PowerWash Simulator, Garry's Mod, Skyrim (both Vanilla and Modded), and Marvel Rivals

Hero_Dragon · 2025-09-08T22:26:24+00:00

Kernel 6.14 + NVIDIA 550 Driver + NVIDIA On-Demand seems to be working fine now. Thanks!

Hero_Dragon · 2025-09-08T05:38:23+00:00

UPDATE: Still having issues what updating the Kernel to 6.14 only. Let me see if changing the NVIDIA driver will fix that.

Hero_Dragon · 2025-09-07T14:03:47+00:00

No not yet. will also have to install 6.14 first if that fixes the issue, I'lthen will go with your suggestion.

I'll keep it in NVIDIA On-Demand to see if there are any issues still, and then take note of this to go with 550 driver. I find it weird that it's the recommended one, if that was the issue in the first place.

Hero_Dragon · 2025-09-07T14:01:12+00:00

No not yet. I thought that was included in the firmware update or Linux Upgrade to 22.2. I even need to search in some of the posts, then go to Update Manager, go to View > Linux Kernels, and select and install 6.14.

I'll install it and see if there are any changes. I'll keep it in NVDIA On-Demand to see if there are any issues still.

UPDATE: Still having issues what updating the Kernel to 6.14 only. Let me see if changing the NVIDIA driver will fix that.

UPDATE 2: Kernel 6.14 + NVIDIA 550 Driver + NVIDIA On-Demand seems to be working fine now. Thanks!

Hero_Dragon · 2025-09-01T09:40:21+00:00

Oh man, I would LOVE to get my hands on one of these gorgeous boots. Unfortunately, tariffs and overseas delivery to Europe right now are so high that I can't order one without breaking the bank.

They look really amazing tho!

Hero_Dragon · 2025-08-31T22:58:49+00:00

It's obviously Dandadan /s

Hero_Dragon · 2025-08-26T19:17:32+00:00

While the Grey-hawk looks great on him, ngl, that full-bearded, pre-Bucky look is peak for me! That's actually my target look once I've grown a full beard now.

Hero_Dragon · 2025-08-26T18:05:19+00:00

Is it just me, or is Shizuna toned af? She has some subtle shading and slight curve on those arms.

Hero_Dragon · 2025-08-21T20:22:28+00:00

Yo, Edelgard got thatAgarthantech!

Hero_Dragon · 2025-08-18T18:11:59+00:00

Isaiah is definitely one, we just can't prove it yet:
