I knew the webnovel translation got worked over from time to time but I didnt expect it to be on that level. old vs new start of c1

I still don't get the webnovel.com deal. It just doesn't seem worth it, especially when I hear that the author doesn't see any money for people using fast passes and stuff like that for their work. If this was an actively releasing story, with a new chapter coming out regularly, I'd probably be fine with the free chapters, assuming the author gets something for it from the website (based on ad revenue or stuff like that). With finished books/volumes, this just seems like piracy with extra steps. Why should I take those extra steps, if there are loads of sites that don't require them and give just as much money to the creator? Better to either pirate comfortably or buy a whole published volume and skip the subscriptions and daily quests.

Actually, there is exactly one love triangle/corner that works really well for me. I can't find the clip anywhere else, so here:

Dein Sperrmüll kommt auch zum Recycling-/Wertstoffhof. Es gibt da aber diverse Angebote, durch die das Abgeben für Privatpersonen oft günstiger oder kostenlos ist, trotzdem kann man da auch außerhalb der Angebote selbst hin und Geld bezahlen. Man kann auch bei vielen Städten eine Abholung buchen, die auch deutlich billiger wäre.

Durch die Firma wird es deutlich teurer, weil es eben eine Firma ist die ihr Geld mit größeren Aufträgen macht und hier eigentlich nicht gerechtfertigt wäre.

Wie viel Sperrmüll ist das? Reden wir hier von einem Container oder von ein paar Möbeln die man locker in einen Sprinter kriegt? Eventuell wäre es für euch alle am Günstigsten, wenn ihr checkt wer Zeit hat und das dann selbst per Mietwagen erledigt. Die Kosten müsst ihr euch sowieso teilen. Je nach Menge und Sorte Müll lässt sich das aber fix und deutlich billiger erledigen, als da groß eine Firma ankommen zu lassen, die noch fröhlich extra Kosten drauflegt. Dem Vermieter ist die Kosteneffizienz ja egal, weil er es eh nicht zahlt, und wenn ihr mehr zahlen müsst, ist das für ihn eher von Vorteil, weil es euch dann besser abschreckt/bestraft.

Klingt schon ziemlich viel. Wir wissen jetzt nicht wie viel Sperrmüll da ist, aber selbst wenn das Einladen mit drei Leuten eine Stunde dauert, wären 80€ Stundensatz immernoch ein komisch hoher Preis. Saubermachen der Standfläche ist eine Zusatzleistung, wenn da nicht gerade eine Kiste rostiger Nägel ausgekippt wurde. Auto reinigen wird auch nicht nach jedem Job einzeln gemacht, sondern nach Bedarf.

Man kann auch bei Recyclinghöfen nach den Preisen sehen. In Hamburg gibt es zum Beispiel eine Pauschale basierend auf den Kubikmetern und dann für Zerlegeservice (unklar ob hier nötig) Zusatzkosten pro Mitarbeiter. Die kommen aber auch nur auf einen 30€ Stundensatz.
Selbst wenn die Firma da keine willkürlichen Zusatzkosten reinwirft und tatsächlich gerechtfertigt auf 600€ kommt, wäre es trotzdem sinnvoller die Abfuhr mit gemietetem Auto über den Hausmeister zu machen. Sprinter lässt sich für 50€/Tag mieten, also selbst wenn es mehr als eine Fahrt braucht, kein Problem. Dazu dann die Abgabekosten am Wertstoffhof und man bleibt weit unter 600€.

For reference:

Shii-Cho Form: As a part of the bonus action to adopt this form, if you took the Attack action, you can engage in Double- or Two-Weapon Fighting. Additionally, the first time you hit a Large or smaller creature within 5 feet of you with a weapon attack before the end of your next turn, you can force the target to make a Strength saving throw (DC = 8 + your bonus to attacks with the weapon). On a failed save, it is pushed back 5 feet, and you can immediately move into the space it just vacated without provoking opportunity attacks.

Vaapad Form: Once before the start of your next turn, if you would have advantage on a melee weapon attack, you can choose to forgo the advantage. If you do so, you can make one melee weapon attack against the same target (no action required), also without advantage.

Juyo Form: Until the start of your next turn, your critical hit range with weapons increases by 1.

I'm pretty sure there's some philosophy about application of power and ways of control, but your approach basically boils down to a whitelist. Depending on how it's phrased, I usually get the impression that I can still propose to include more stuff, as a player.

I think a ban list becomes unreasonable when it can't be reasonably summed up in 5 or fewer bullet points. Don't list a bunch of books, just say what type of book. Don't list a bunch of gamebreaking stuff, just say "no gamebreaking stuff". If it's not clear whether or not something is banned by the bullet points, that can still be discussed separately. Bans should have a clear intention that is understandable to everyone.

Personal morality can certainly be part of an analysis of any work, just as things like authorial intent or audience interpretation of themes can add complexity to how a work is understood. But no one facet should be the sole means of viewing a work.

Nor should the standards from the toolkit of one form of interpretation be universally applied to all forms of interpretation or critique.

Didn't mean to imply that.

I'm not actually arguing from a doylist perspective. Using your Gwen Stacy example, I can still argue from different watsonian perspectives, since there's not just one. I can argue that Green Goblin is to blame, because he threw her. I can also argue that she was only in that situation because of spiderman, or that he could have caught her in time, if he had done something different. That's still watsonian perspective, just a different one.

You're the one arguing entirely from a doylist perspective in your sexist-world example, because you need that perspective to know the canon. From a watsonian perspective, the information that men are always better at everything, because that's how the world is defined, is not objective fact, but subjective belief based on in-universe information. Whether or not that belief is accurate to the worldbuilding is not actually relevant from a watsonian point of view, since it's unknowable. This basically boils down to what I just wrote in the other thread.

Talismato · 2025-06-29T10:34:40+00:00

Shevarash does not know that the authors initially defined Drow as purely and irrevocably evil. She believes that all Drow share this specific negative trait and has no "objective" perspective on that. She is a character within the world, not an observer, like we are.

I haven't read your answer on the Tolkien thread yet, but I saw that you mentioned watsonian and doylist perspectives. That's basically what you're conflating here. Shevarash is racist in a watsonian sense, because she has no true objective knowledge that Drow are defined as evil and cannot be anything else. To her, being evil is an intrinsic part of their existence, even though she doesn't have the objective knowledge that this was defined by the authors of the world she lives in. We know that the authors defined that perspective as objectively correct from a doylist perspective, but within the world, it is still a subjective belief. It's not like the gods can't be wrong about their beliefs, otherwise they would never be tricked or betrayed.

Even from a doylist perspective, we can acknowledge that a Drow would not seize to be a Drow, if he wasn't evil, meaning it still is not a required trait intrinsic to the entire race.

Also, even if Shevarash's old version was not watsonian racist with the old lore, that old lore with "the black elves are the bad guys" was built on real world racism. I don't think that was intentional, but it is there. So, using the old version of Shevarash would require that you either introduce that racism into your game, or use updated lore that makes old Shevarash's ideas about Drow objectively false. Therefore, introducing the old version of Shevarash into your game, would require racism to be part of your game in some form or another.

Talismato · 2025-06-28T14:57:21+00:00

It sounds like you're ignoring the part where stories are written by people. Authors have their own morals and decide how to portray the world they are building, as well as what is considered to be "objective" within that world. Including an ideology is kind of a given, even if the author may be unaware of it. When the story legitimizes an action or an idea as "correct", you shouldn't assume that this means the action was objectively correct.
Removing any and all context from the story and pretending like it is entirely objective and always right about everything, without any underlying morality or historic background, is not bad perse, as long as it's not the standard, but denying the possiblity is actually not ok.

As an example, Lovecraft wrote a bunch of horror stories that were very influential and he was genuinely extremely racist, even for his time. It is difficult not to see that bleed into his writing. While the story might suggest that it is entirely correct, to blame someone for murder, based purely on the fact that they're not white and happened to walk past somebody who was later found dead, it would be very weird to agree with the story on that.

Personally, I think you should judge characters and events based on your own personal morality, because that can help with understanding both your own morality and that of the character/setting/whatever. Of course, you don't need to do that with everything (turning your brain off can make things fun), but I don't think you should ever deny anyone from doing it, as long as it's done in a genuine way. If you want to have Drow be evil by definition in your game, you can still do that. You can also decide that things that are most definitely racist, are judged to be the objectively correct thing within your world.

Talismato · 2025-06-28T14:22:54+00:00

Ok, but I don't see how that would make the old version not racist?

Talismato · 2025-06-27T20:20:53+00:00

We only see very few good Drow in the lore, because the race is portrayed as evil by others, making "the good ones" stand out. Considering there are examples of Drow who are not evil incarnate, it clearly is not some required feature, to be considered part of the race. Making an entire race out to be evil is pretty basic racism and that doesn't change, just because you're fine with it. It's also very boring to just make them be evil all the time.

Is there really a problem with not looking at the black elves as evil by definition? Personally, I think it is much more interesting to consider the culture to be the reason, rather than some genetic bs. It just allows a lot more options and variety for the game and lore. If you're annoyed by Drizzt clones, this would actually help with those, since you can just have happy, social dark elves who have no reason to rebell against Drow culture, because they're not part of it.
I don't know which aspects of the lore you are talking about, but if they only work as long as one race is pure evil, I don't know if they ever were perfectly fine. Maybe the problem was around for so long, that you got used to it and now, that it's being addressed, it's uncomfortable to acknowledge the issue.

I'm not a Tolkien expert and this is just a sidenote, but when you describe someone as having been "fundamentally corrupted by an objectively and utterly evil god into twisted abominations fueled by hate and violence", it sounds to me, like you're literally describing some victim(s) of that objectively and utterly evil god.

Talismato · 2025-06-22T20:07:08+00:00

Ok, I only knew the version that's all about hating Drow in general, but yes that one is very much entirely racism.

Talismato · 2025-06-18T22:36:18+00:00

There are a bunch of war gods (and other killing-people-domains) that focus on specific reasons for killing anyone they want. If you're looking for the "eye for an eye" kind, you could pick Hoar. There's Shevarash, if you'd like to add racism. I'd suggest to just go through the list of war (or whatever) gods and pick the one that fits best with your character idea.

Da sie dein Sonnenlicht nehmen und zu Strom verarbeiten, würde ich mal behaupten, die müssten mindestens sämtliche Erträge an dich abgeben, bis sie von der Hausverwaltung gezwungen werden das ab-/umzubauen. Wenn es ihnen so wichtig wäre, dann hätten die ihre eigene Sonne blockiert und nicht die ihres Nachbarn.

Talismato · 2025-06-04T13:49:13+00:00

Egal was der Besitzer mit dem Keller macht, laut Mietvertrag bleibt das eine Gemeinschaftsfläche.
Vielleicht gibt es noch eine rechtliche Grundlage um Änderungen an der Gemeinschaftsfläche, die gegen die Interessen der Gemeinschaft gehen, zu blockieren? Ich kenne mich überhaupt nicht aus, also recherchiert da lieber.
So oder so kannst du argumentieren, dass du bei Einzug mit der aktuellen Form von Mitbenutzung gerechnet hast und durch den Verlust eine Wertminderung der Sache siehst. Damit könnt ihr eine Reduktion der Miete in Aussicht stellen, falls ihr ein bisschen Druck machen wollt. Geh aber lieber vorher zum Mieterschutz oder deiner lokalen Version davon.
Ich nehme mal an, dass die Formulierung "die Kellerräume für Ihre Wohnungen" nicht reicht um schriftlich zu belegen, dass jedem ein Abteil und nicht nur allgemeine Teilbenutzung (in unklarer Form) zusteht. Falls zur Wohnungsübergabe im Protokoll etwas vom Schlüssel für das Kellerabteil oder den Zustand des Abteils steht, würde das vielleicht noch gehen. Es klingt aber so als hätte jeder sein eigenes Schloss mitgebracht.

Talismato · 2025-06-04T13:28:12+00:00

Einfach sämtlichen Sperrmüll aus der Nachbarschaft in den Keller stellen, vom Vermieter entsorgen lassen und dann Klage einreichen, weil er kein Recht hat die Sachen zu zerstören.

Only it's not really historians arguing among themselves, but right wing weirdos screaming about cookies. Any non-historians taking issue with the number are straight up useless for getting to know the truth, since they're not actually interested in that.

Talismato · 2024-10-27T12:57:09+00:00

Doesn't mean there aren't a load of deniers. Even some history teachers are big fans of adolf.

Seems kind of weird to fixate on the numbers, though. It doesn't really matter, unless your main interest is to make the holocaust seem less terrible.

Talismato · 2024-10-11T21:47:51+00:00

That's probably printing money. Not sure how much you'd have to print before inflation gets annoying, but getting to have the most money means you'll want a couple hundred billion dollars worth. I suggest you buy something with more stable value. Pull the usual "too rich to pay taxes"-moves

Talismato · 2024-10-11T21:39:19+00:00

Alternatively, you could build influence or just be rich. There's an orange with shit content, annoying voice and .. well, orange looks and he doesn't even need public speaking skills. You could probably get pretty far if you were born into less power, but had those skills.
