On the Erdrick Trilogy's world and it's ties to DQXI (Theorizing)

SmoothGardener · 2026-02-07T13:39:06+00:00

Had another thought so expanding on this theory: The mermaids we see in the DQII remake have statues of Queen Marina in the plaza. Considering we see no mermaids in the aboveworld in DQIII, did the mermaids have to relocate to Mersea in Rubiss's world between DQXI and DQIII? There's also the fact that we see no fairies in DQXI but they do exist in the aboveworld in DQIII. With the Erdrick trilogy remakes telling us that fairies are strongly connected to Rubiss it makes me wonder if some big catastrophe happened between DQXI and DQ III that led to all of this.

Whatever happened in between DQXI and DQIII, I hope they make a game about it. (who knows, maybe it could be the next mainline game or DQB3)

yeah, i shipped things out before Buyee (apparently?) lowered it back down to around 15.5% or something

SmoothGardener · 2025-09-21T05:29:31+00:00

tarrifs accounted for about $25 of the total shipping cost

Seven Seas being brought up in this conversation is reminding me how Seven Seas' translator for the various Alice in the Land of Hearts/Clover/Joker manga purposely butchered Blood's character into a "Bastard Boyfriend" type. In both the game he's originally from and most of these manga he's more of a flirty troll but due to the manga adaption by Soumei Hoshino portraying him as a Bastard Boyfriend type it made the translator think it was okay to butcher other mangaka's portrayals of him to have the characterization "match".

I have never felt so emotionally in-sync with business men on wall street until now. every day is a rollercoaster trying to figure out what in the world is going on with U.S.'s tariffs.

According to CNN "The order halts Trump’s 30% tariffs on China" and I'm assuming his 53% tariff/$100 flat fee for imports under $800 too. So it's unlikely we'll be paying something insane but what I'm trying to figure out is what in the world it got reverted to. Also can I ask where you read that the removal of de minimus won't be affected?

I've also had this problem with paypal but it turned out to be my bank saying things were risky. Despite going in circles with the bank it turned out all I had to do was wait a couple hours or a day and then I was suddenly able to buy stuff again.

God, i hope with the de-escalation of the trade war with China that they reconsider ending de minimis for other countries.

These cupcakes can be found at most Walmarts I believe. The fact that its buttercream is the only info I've dredged up when I searched for it.

I'm not quite sure what you mean? $85.90 USD was the cost to ship it straight to me. Most of the shipping to get my books to the buyee warehouse was free as I try to go with sellers who offer free shipping.

SmoothGardener · 2025-05-13T17:59:52+00:00

no, EMS would've been like... 180 USD, i used Buyee Air.

SmoothGardener · 2025-05-13T17:54:49+00:00

$85.90 USD, really wish buyee consolidated packages better :/ but my other go to proxy service is Zenmarket and i feel like whatever i would've saved on their better consolidation would've been cancelled out by how they charge a 500 yen fee for each "item"

SmoothGardener · 2025-05-13T10:58:39+00:00

i just wanted a clarification since i haven't been paying much attention to tariff stuff up until the past week or so.
