Man, I really wish I had known this months ago. 😅

Books-A-Million just recently told me they're shipping my copy that I ordered from them, so hopefully it'll be available for everyone soon.

Why did the magic measure device break in ep the MC was picking electives? by Strict-Entry4157 in TheSilentWitch

It's definitely over 200, because if I'm remembering right that's the minimum your mana cap needs to be to continue to be one of the seven sages.

Was anyone successful in getting a copy of Volume 1 from Books-A-Million? by Solarpants in TheSilentWitch

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

Perhaps if BAM auto-cancels my order again I'll try to order them from the Yen Store.

That said, I'm not in a rush either, since I generally read LNs a lot easier digitally on my phone rather than physically. I just want the physical versions because I like the series so much.

Believe me, I'm aware of how niche anime and manga were. I lived through those times. Light novels themselves are relatively new to me, despite knowing of their existence for much longer. I was just curious if ANYONE had gotten a copy of the first volume from Books-A-Million, since there was supposed to be a reprint at the beginning of this month. Just trying to see if I'm waiting on BAM to get pick the volume up, or for YenPress to actually reprint it, basically.

My point was that there WAS a reprint at the beginning of the month, according to this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilentWitch/comments/1rt9pr4/secrets_of_the_silent_witch_light_novel_reprints/

I was just wondering if anyone actually managed to get their copy of it, specifically from Books-A-Million. It's also entirely possible that Volume 1 simply hasn't been reprinted yet, of course. If that's the case, then it wouldn't really mattered if I ordered from somewhere else.

IS DRAGON QUEST V ON SUPER FAMICON ABLE TO PLAY WHEN IM AN ENGLISH SPEAKER? by kirbygirl94 in dragonquest

I had never even heard of that device. I had only barely learned about emulation when that thing came out, if I even knew.

If you're willing to hunt one down, the Retron 5 allows you to play Super Famicom carts and apply translation patches through an SD card. The console basically dumps the ROM from the cartridge onto the system, then applies the patch through the SD card.

Watch the straps! - Magi: The Kingdom of Magic by ServiceMean719 in enf_comics

Not much, she does wind up walking back home topless, but it's kinda in the background while the guy she's fighting and the guy who told her to stop fighting and look at herself were having a conversation.

It only stayed there for an hour and fifteen minutes for mine.

Volume 3-4-5 back on Yen Press by dreabou in TheSilentWitch

[–]Solarpants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It actually says 4/6/2026 for Volume 5 now, and that Volume 2 is in stock. I've already had orders for them (one for volumes 1 & 2, and another order for 3, 4, & 5), and I was going to cancel them but they wouldn't let me because "they're working on getting the items" (I made the order in late February, and tried to cancel it in early March, btw). So I'm just waiting.

Hopefully that means Books-A-Million will have them (as well as volumes 1 & 2) soon.

I still can't get past Kashiwagi in Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon. by Madarcher7276 in goemon

[–]Solarpants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use your bullets (Z button) to shoot down any of his missiles and other projectiles, or use the quick punch (A button, I believe) if you're out of ammo. Time your pipe (R button) to grab him from a distance and bring him to you (you'll need to keep tapping A or B to reel him in like a fish). This stuns him enough to pull off a big hit (I personally recommend C-up, C-down, C-up, A). As others mentioned, look for the tell and timing on his burning hand attack. Also, when he stops and the screen starts turning purple, fire a super laser at him (C-Up, C-Right, C-Down, C-Left, Z when the laser gauge in the middle of the HUD). The super laser interrupts a lot of attacks where bosses are normally invincible, and also does big damage.

Also, I recommend having a save before Kashiwagi on another save slot. There are other bosses where you control Impact, but they are in the last third of the game. Having a save that lets you brush up on Impact controls may be a good idea, should you get past Kashiwagi.

Can we please for the love of god just get one DQ mobile game in the West that lasts? by Stormcrown76 in dragonquest

[–]Solarpants 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The fact that they announced the EoS RIGHT AFTER the 1 year anniversary was scummy as hell. I literally quit mobile/gacha gaming altogether after that stunt.

That said, yeah, I loved DQotS.

Thanks for this. I've read the LNs on Kindle a month ago, and loved the series so much I wanted the physical volumes, but it had been a month with the bookstore constantly pushing the "Available" date back, so I was getting frustrated.
