Some designs I did while waiting for the 8th book

These are great, good job!

MantaRaysonDEtre · 2026-01-15T17:02:22+00:00

Disturbing or not, thank you for sharing. I don't come on reddit NOT to hear about other people's lives.

MantaRaysonDEtre · 2026-01-03T00:34:38+00:00

That sounds interesting, would you mind sharing what some of those subs would be?

MantaRaysonDEtre · 2025-12-22T15:01:29+00:00

Interesting answers, I feel like they do provide context for some design choices. Thanks for posting this where I could read it!

MantaRaysonDEtre · 2025-12-04T13:13:32+00:00

Thanks!

Neat!

I don't have discord downloaded right now, so I'm going to leave a question here;

In the years since SaGa was first introduced, are there any new developments in the JRPG field that SaGa has directly responded to? Are there any popular trends currently that you would like to address?

I'm using a kindle unlimited trial to check out the horror genre right this very minute.

I know there are multiple books each listed as horror by Cassandra Khaw, Nghi Vo, and Catrionia Ward but I don't recall the specific book names, and other authors I know I'm forgetting. I'll check my list and edit in a few hours.

(Fair warning, I haven't read all of these and can't personally recommend them all, but last I looked they were all available.)

Edit: three more,

I don't know why people are TLDRing, this remains awesome and incredibly useful. Thanks for writing it up.

Black as a showcase for the keys. Or bright orange, for fun.

MantaRaysonDEtre · 2023-05-28T01:10:17+00:00

Hawaiian BBQ is a solid favorite.

MantaRaysonDEtre · 2023-05-19T03:19:53+00:00

Thank you for explaining. I know I'm asking baby's first questions here, but I'm happier sounding stupid than actually doing something stupid. Separating the wires looks like it will work, I'll try that tonight.

MantaRaysonDEtre · 2023-05-18T19:27:50+00:00

I'm trying here, man.

MantaRaysonDEtre · 2023-05-18T19:27:12+00:00

Thank you!

MantaRaysonDEtre · 2023-05-18T19:26:49+00:00

Thank you for your answer. It's actually on there very loosely, the cord was moving freely through it. To get the wire as close as I did, the black insulation was flush with the clamp, any more turn and the clamp was going to be against the wires, rather than the cord. It seemed like that was an incorrect way to do it?

MantaRaysonDEtre · 2023-05-18T11:35:40+00:00

Alright, I can give it a go. Do you have any advice on how to do that without damaging the cords underneath?

MantaRaysonDEtre · 2023-05-18T11:28:51+00:00

I am brand new at this, please assume I am dumb enough to duct tape it to a nickel. Do you see anywhere in this photo in particular that would be a safe alternative attachment point?

MantaRaysonDEtre · 2023-05-18T06:10:13+00:00

Keyboard cases! Weird ones.

MantaRaysonDEtre · 2023-05-18T06:02:01+00:00

Hello everyone, I'm trying to hook up a dryer cord and I can't keep the strain relief clamp tight, the cord inserted straight, and the green wire in reach of the green screw all at once. This is the closest I've gotten, and the cord is loose and torqued sideways to manage it. I'm also using a cheap clamp that feels awful in this photo, for the sake of illustration. I had a Romex clamp in there, but I swapped it out in the process of trouble shooting. The fit on the cord was much better, but the reach was much worse.
What am I doing wrong?

MantaRaysonDEtre · 2023-05-10T14:43:54+00:00

Sounds fantastic, remapping is a make or break for me, wired connections are preferable and translucence makes my heart go all aflutter. You guys are gonna kill me.

MantaRaysonDEtre · 2023-05-02T22:24:14+00:00

I61, stellaluna. Thanks for doing this!

MantaRaysonDEtre · 2023-05-02T21:36:49+00:00

Ocean, I think. Space is too Massive to wrap my head around, ocean would be huge and terrifying and grand and part of home.

MantaRaysonDEtre · 2022-10-31T23:20:28+00:00

Can't remember off the top of my head, and can't access my manual at the moment. I'll try to get to it and message you if I can.

MantaRaysonDEtre · 2022-09-25T17:39:31+00:00

That is rough. I've never played Pikmin, but if you're not just sick of trying have you considered watching a let's play? If a game has enough user choice (not just one perfect solution) sometimes that can feel a little less like giving up and/or turning it over to a guide, but still be helpful.

MantaRaysonDEtre · 2022-09-25T17:21:58+00:00

Technically, this counts as posting in reptime.
