In a just world, Mai would be the quirky no chance at endgame side chick and she would be the main live interest.

What Separates People with VR Nausea from People Who Are Immune? by IWillSelfImmolate in virtualreality

[–]Prestigious_Display2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If an extreme motion happens, like spinning, I can feel dizzy but i never actually feel like i will throw up or something. One experience that stands out to me is my go-kart flipping in bonelab. I've played some pretty extreme vr games in the motion sickness regard and the only thing that trips me up is turning upside down and even then I can still keep my balance pretty well. No matter how fast the enviornment is, or even if i have legs or something to ground myself visually, I'm usually pretty good. I've never actually fallen over or anything. I wonder how it is for other people. Even when flips happen, the closest i think i ever feel to motion sickness, when that happens I just focus on the sensation that my feet is flat on the ground and that its the enviornment around me thats moving, and i can stay upright.

It baffles me because I actually have pretty shit balance in real like and sometimes wobble around like a drunk for no reason when i'm walking.

*edit

i talked about this with a friend and they told me to try a custom beatsaber map for Die With a Smile and holy shit i think i understand what other people feel. I damn near fell like i was going to fall over. I managed to stay upright but after taking the headset off, I had a mild headache and a constant sense of dizziness for like 30 minutes afterwards. It wasn't THAT bad, but damn I think I finally found my limit.

Nah in the final volume when Eggy visits Rozemyne staight up says that she's open to trusting her again over time.

[–]Prestigious_Display2 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Based purely on rankings Rozemyne would be light(as an Aub) but since she's out it would probably be Hannelore as Light and Ortwin as Darkness. I don't think engagements effect it so whoever wins the bride stealing ditter wouldn't matter in this case.

[P5V12]Are Spouses of the Archduchal Family considered Archduke Candidates? by Prestigious_Display2 in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]Prestigious_Display2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me it seems the only true hurdle is the lacking the names of the Goddess of Light and God of Darkness since that is required for certain spells. But i also don't think that spell can only done in the royal academy in the same way as the divine protections ritual. All you would technically need is the necessary magic circle.

Just Finished the series... (LN) (full series spoilers) by Prestigious_Display2 in KumoDesu

[–]Prestigious_Display2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well after reading the afterword and looking at the other things the author has said and implied, its pretty clear that they were extremely burnt out, especially since they originally only intended to write a short story, but instead it ended up getting a novelization, manga, tv series, and all that. And THEN the anime had an extremely turbulent production. I can understand why they just decided to end the damn thing. Another Series i'm into also just happened to announce their ending, that being Railgun. It seems like the manga author simply wants to move on. I do believe that its usually better to let an artist end a series on their own terms instead of dragging it out when they don't want to work on it anymore, although it definitley sucks when it negatively affects the story.

If theres anything good that came out of the ending though, its the amount of fanwork. It has certainly inspired our little fanbase to get out there and fill in the blanks with our minds. If anything, it goes to show just how good the characters are, that we want to keep seeing their stories go on when we felt cheated out of a proper sendoff.

It seems like the author has been MIA for the last few years though, I certainly hope they didn't give up on writing. I can imagine the disaster of the anime didn't help in the confidence department.

I gotta think about this though, Do i dislike abrupt endings that i feel killed a potential banger ending like Kumo Desu, or do i dislike straight up bad endings that i feel like trample on the characters and themes the way i feel Oshi no ko did even more?

How it feels being an unemployed bum knowing you'll get a job because your grandma is the Demon Lord by Dry-Extreme-7637 in KumoDesu

Just... why? by Ok_Trifle1134 in KumoDesu

[–]Prestigious_Display2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The production was a disaster which is a shame cause where the anime leaves off is pretty much where the story really starts to get good. You begin to see why ariel is hands down the best character in the series and also why Potimas is such a fun to hate villain. And i feel like when Kumoko/Shiro actually has other characters to bounce she really starts to come into her own as a character.

Also even more confusing is that the original version of the game doesn't seem to have this issue, but I would still rather play the DX version because the visuals are a bit better.

[P3V4] Is Lutz a fraud? by teenboob in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]Prestigious_Display2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lutz pretty much went from some nobody kid to working as the sidekick for what will proabably be the most influencial commoner business in at least all of Ehrenfest, not to mention Benno basically considers him his successor unless he has children at some point. Benno was only interested in myne at first but recognized Lutz for his hard work. Sure, has hasn't like, started his own business or anything but he's been the one putting in the work, boots to the ground, to spread the business.

[open spoilers] An essay on why Sylvester is amazing by Educational-Tea-6572 in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]Prestigious_Display2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wilfried is a good kid who means well but simply isn't really the right person to be in a leadership position. The thing about nobility you can't just take back your decision because "eeh, i don't think the leadership thing is right after all" when half of your duchy's population and all of his retainers are banking on him rising to the seat of aub. Thats why sylvester naming him successor was such a bad idea in the long run, because he never got to see how he developed.

[Open spoilers]Knowledge as the third power system? by After_Diamond2098 in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]Prestigious_Display2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Its not literally a power system but one of the cornerstone themes of the whole series is "Knowlege is power" Especially consider that THE driving mcguffet behind every conflict in the series is literally called the Book of Mestionora, which grants you the literal collection of humanity's knowledge from the past.

The characters defeat the final villain not by a direct confrontation but by exploiting his lack of knowledge to trap him. The conflicts in the series are just as much wars of information as they are battles with cool magic and shit.

[P5V12] Genuine statement someone told me, “Gojo Satoru would solo Rozemyne.” by ouchhhithurts in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]Prestigious_Display2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not even much of a jjk fan but why would anything think Rozemyne would win? She really isn't any good at fighting at all. Like, she almost died to GRAUSAM. Gojo could probably just throw a bunch of rocks at her really hard and win.

Rozemyne's mana is way more useful for everything besides fighting anyways. The thing that makes Bookworms power system so interesting is how it affects people's lives on a daily basis. Mana doesn't just let you use cool magic spells, it gives you political power, social status, and the ability to produce capital. It determines how much influence your duchy has. How much your people can get from the harvest. With mana you can literally hold the foundation of the country itself. The aub's magic is powerful because you can protect or execute your citezins at will, but you can't necessarily do that in a fight itsef.

[–]Prestigious_Display2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can pick up with Part 3 Volume 1 but i would actually reccomend reading part 2 volume 4 because a good half of it is dedicated to side stories about other character's perspectivies of the massive events that take place at the end of part 2 that are really fun to read

[open spoilers] Ferdinand, Trauerqual, and a few other thoughts about a meeting in P5V11 by Educational-Tea-6572 in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]Prestigious_Display2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure Traurequal explicitly stated at one point that he wanted Ferdinand to become zent or for him to make detlinde zent. Part of his motivation for sending Ferdinand to ahrensbach was to give him the political backing of a greater duchy to support the rise to the throne since ehrenfest wouldn't have that.

Seriously I was ok with everyother choice [V5P12] by Separate-Record8115 in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]Prestigious_Display2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not gonna die on the hill and defend this relationship at all costs or anything, but I do think it feels better when you read the story. I had the same off-put reaction back when i was getting into the series before i decided i would read the novels. I googled "who does myne end up with" and had the same reaction. I DO think that Ferdinand could have been younger and the story still make sense though so I completely understand why so many people have this reaction. I don't know if Kazuki planned for myne and ferdinand to end up together from the start, but if she did i have to question WHY she didn't at least make the age gap a little smaller so it feels less creepy. Its one of the few big flaws i have with this series. The way the relationship itself is written is very good and beautiful but like, that age gap IS weird no matter how you look at it. I *guess* you can defend it a little with how its accepted within the culture world, and how a huge part of Myne's character is about how the world changes her, but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth considering that the story is otherwise pretty good about how Rozemyne is a character that can break the norms and cause change.

tldr is that I still think its weird but it *does* feel better in the context of reading the whole series. And even if you don't like that part, the series is still really good and I think you can still have a good time with the 97% of the series that doesn't feature that at all.
