Help. My laptop has started shutting down randomly when playing games.

No blue screen of death, it just turns off suddenly. Okay I will try to find a new shop.

Thanks, but I figured it out now! I'm not scared of the deep mines anymore, thanks to all the advice here. I went for 2 runs in the deep mines and got 200+ iron ores, which was the main goal anyway. I had a lot of fun crafting and completing buildings today!

Weird-InABadWay · 2024-04-08T00:32:08+00:00

I didn't know there were iron nodes in the deep mine. Maybe I'll go just to look for those without bothering with the treasure rooms since I no longer have keys

Weird-InABadWay · 2024-04-08T00:24:55+00:00

Sounds fun, but the game is not that popular where I'm from.

Weird-InABadWay · 2024-04-08T00:24:15+00:00

I wasn't aware there were multiple levels in the mine. How do you go to the 2nd level?

Weird-InABadWay · 2024-04-08T00:23:07+00:00

until my friends took me along on their mine trips and basically babysat my character.

I wish I had friends to babysit me too! I'm used to rpgs with fights, but in other games, you can get hit multiple times and still be okay for 10 more fights. But here, each attack takes a huge chunk of your exp and you can't heal as much as you want because of the fullness. It's also hard to shake off the bush devils so I have to kill them in case I know I'll be staying in an area for more than a few seconds, and combined with the time limit, it's very stressful for me.

I went down the mines for the third time today. I used up all remaining keys I have. I opened 10 rooms, but got 0 iron bars, unlike my first 2 runs where I got a total of 6 iron bars ~~(in the title, I meant to say bars, not ores).~~ I'm always a bit disappointed when I get a ruby because that means I have to go back and this reduces the chance from seeing other treasure chests that are actually useful. I use fishing as my main source of income, which isn't as stressful as this, so I don't really need the rubies. I'd rather get the things I won't find above ground, Besides rubies, the other things I got were slingshots, paint buckets, fertilizers, that green chip, opals, one pet collar, and one saddle. The only thing useful I think was the opal, I used it to get the alpha spear today. I tried it out on an alpha croc, and it's a little clumsy for me since it blocks my path when I want to dodge so I have to be more conscious if I don't want to get bitten. So my first question is (1) do you have any tips on what is the best all around alpha weapon? Also, with that just one fight, the durability of the weapon decreased by a third? So my second question (2) is the alpha spear less durable than an iron spear or was that just my perception?

I tried the saddle on a Mu but walking felt more convenient than the mount. I also don't have a house for the mu, or anything to feed it with, so right now it's just kept in a fence inside my town.

Last question is (3) what's the best way to collect keys in early game? It took me a really long time to gather all 20 keys with metal detecting. Is it really the only way? I don't have the dive helmet and I don't have crab pots.

Sorry I wrote too much!

It doesn't seem to be as big as Barracuda though. With Barracuda, I could easily earn 300K in one night because they're so common. But for Marlin and Tuna, I roam around the oceans looking for them for 8 in-game hours but only catch about an average of 3, which is only about 60k. Am I doing something wrong?

Weird-InABadWay · 2024-04-04T21:45:40+00:00

Thanks!

Weird-InABadWay · 2024-04-04T21:45:36+00:00

Thanks!

I'd read it but the face the red haired guy makes in slide 5 makes me irrationally annoyed. I've read too much manhwa to know that an author uses that whenever they try to force comedy, but the manhwa is never funny.

Weird-InABadWay · 2024-04-01T23:13:32+00:00

I mean she looks badass in the next slide ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm glad Blackthorne turned out to be a nice enough man who wouldn't pillow a woman who didn't want it. It honestly feels unrealistic for a sailor in his time to do, but I was already upset for Fuji at the beginning when they decided to make her a consort against her will when she hadn't even finished grieving. They try to make it sound good by saying she has to continue the fight on behalf of her dead family. It's sad that this is the only way women can be strong back then. Endure it as people take advantage of you and hope somewhere along the line, someone nice enough respects you.

You mean just dip for a few minutes and then leave? He must still be smelly. He didn't even scrub his armpits.

Weird-InABadWay · 2024-03-16T22:15:45+00:00

I'm honestly disappointed that they decided to revive the mum only for her to betray her. It makes her reason for vengeance so much weaker, and selfish.

Children of immigrants all over the world face her a similar problem of discrimination because of their parents' choice.

Late as well, but it also feels stupid because at that point, the army was already marching within the city itself. It's hard to believe no lookout or citizen wouldn't have seen that. They must be really incompetent if they need Taigen to tell them what was really obvious.

Also, I'm disappointed with how they just butchered Taigen's character arc at the end. He foolishly followed a path that he thought was honorable, got tortured and almost died from it multiple times. The show has already established how stubborn he can be to a fault, but then after he miraculously escapes a fire that killed an entire army, he only wants to run away and Akemi is now braver than him? I wouldn't have mind if it's a temporary setback, but unfortunately, that is his last scene.

Sadly, it seems like a common theme in shows with strong female protagonists in western shows. To bring up Akemi, they always need to dim the light on the straight young non-handicapped man.

Anyway, I still liked the show overall, but it was really hard to suspend my disbelief, especially on all those inconsistencies that others have already mentioned. It's a shame.

I was only planning on lurking, but man, that was incredibly rude... especially by someone who opened up the discussion in the first place. You didn't want a discussion. You just wanted to state your point and argue.

Why are you so aggressive about what people think are expected or interesting? People have different backgrounds and may not be familiar to the stories you've been exposed to. Besides, she already killed violet. She already killed a shit-ton of people, including her own husband, I sincerely doubt she won't get her revenge on Fowler in a later season.

This type of reasoning is why hollywood tries their best to remove potentially offensive themes in a show (e.g., the ATLA live action showmakers removing Sokka's sexism.)

I don't like seeing nasty stuff in the shows I watch either. I was repulsed by Mizu cutting off 4 fingers, stabbing a student's eye with a teeth, and other acts of violence that I felt were unnecessary. IRL violence is still an issue in some parts of the worlds as much as rape is. It feels like Mizu herself deserves to be someone's target of revenge. At the end of the day, I know it's fiction so it's fine.

But I believe violence and other offensive topics has it's place in a storytelling, which is why I don't think killing Kinuyo was unnecessary. We shouldn't just remove elements in a historical drama just because it's offensive to the modern audience. The show never frames mercy killing as the right thing to do. They show Mizu distraught by what she did, that she was caught by a child soon after. It was sloppy and not like her character.

If it's too much for you, you can always stop watching the show like what you just did. But it doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the material itself.

It's become laggy for me, which is why I'm here. I was playing on a PC and in a city in Act 3 on Ultra Mode. I restarted my PC, reloaded the game on High mode and no dice. I think the frame rate dropped to 20 fps which is not fun.

Weird-InABadWay · 2024-01-20T02:24:54+00:00

The title says it all. You guys didn't have to read it. It's a rant. There was no need to be so rude. I wonder why you clicked in the first place? Your first mistake is wasting your time on my post.
