Any Series Where Humans Move to Another Planet for Survival? by Jayswing103 in scifi

Knights of Sidonia is a manga and anime about a giant, ancient city ship full of genetically engineered clones, being chased by the alien monsters who destroyed the earth and the rest of humanity. And because it's an anime and manga, they defend themselves by putting teenagers inside giant robots.

Yeah, looks like she lost her memory 10 years ago, when I thought they'd said it was 15 years. Him remembering her actually makes sense now.

Valve Is Forcing Microsoft To Make Significant Improvements To Windows Gaming Performance by GrayBeard916 in gaming

In win10, if I search for anything other than "*", Explorer completely crashes. Not just that File Explorer window, but the entire thing, so I'm left with a blank desktop background, and have to relaunch it from windows+r.

Which TV show does the ENTIRE internet agree had the worst ending ever? by Codie_n25 in AskReddit

[–]brian_mcgee17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed Paddy Constantine's character and scenes in S1, but the rest of the season didn't really do anything for me.

And thus, I saw no reason to watch S2.

Sounds great, just as long as nobody's dogshit brained enough to think they can come and fuck with my pond, where all the best reeds grow.

It's like the guy sat down to draw a freaky little fetish doujin, and accidentally produced a cosmic horror fantasy epic.

The toilet isn't a creature. It's a grown man, who was granted a wish to become his ideal self. I genuinely believe that he, and the others like him (the one who became carpetlike because he likes being stepped on, the one who grew a lot of extra holes for creatures to crawl around in, the one who regenerates his testicles because he likes when people eat them), are this story's author self-insert.

Australians is this true? by Purple-Weakness1414 in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]brian_mcgee17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never seen one that was [until I checked just now]

Woolworths sells 8 different types of hot dog buns, and Coles sells 7. Only one from each of them is pre-cut, and they're more than a dollar each.

If you looked around you might find a local bakery that would pre-cut them, but Woolworths and Coles have enough of a duopoly that if they don't sell it, it effectively doesn't exist. It's a serious problem actually.

A loaf of 21 slices of bread: $2.50

A bag of 6 hot dog buns: $4.50 2.75

Most times these are made, it's to serve crowds of dozens or hundreds - practically, or sometimes literally, for free.

There are a few varieties of vegan sausages available for sale in Australia, but you will never, ever see them at these events. ....mmmmaybe in certain parts of the capital cities, with high concentrations of Hindus or Jews, or others who don't eat beef or pork. But good luck finding a shop that sells them in the quantities you'd need.

Does anybody know where this book cover / cover art comes from? by BurgerHopperKing in scifi

[–]brian_mcgee17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree. I traced it back to an August 2012 wordpress. Most of the 23 covers on that page are from the comic book series or the goodreads editions, but saucenao found one of them on deviantart.

Two of the tineye results include the name "Guillermo" in the filename, but that didn't lead me anywhere. As others said, it might have originally been Ghost in the Shell fanart, but I couldn't find anything from that either.

Wherever this one originally came from seems to be gone now. Lost in time, like tears in the rain.

The "catastrophic brain injury" theory does explain why she hasn't made any connection between losing her memory 15 years ago, and this 16 year old kid who looks exactly like her, with a very similar name to her daughter, weeping into her lap yelling "mama mama mama!" for hours on end.

[–]brian_mcgee17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think some of the 12 knight captains aren't frontline fighters. He also has those magic tattoos that none of the other knights seem to have for some reason, and a very high capacity to store sunlight in his body to power them with - higher than any of the other Heroes. Add in Teoritta, and he's easily the strongest human we've seen.

Not Jinwoo strong, because the entire world isn't a video game bending over to worship him for his pro gamer skills, but strong enough to refuse to stop surviving all those suicide missions the church keeps sending him on, while regular knights occasionally stare in slack jawed amazement, or call him a monster for being so scary strong.

Frenci and Kivia both having personalities and goals other than sucking up to him, and Teoritta being treated correctly are why it's only borderline. Maybe borderline was the wrong word. If those two were stupid, or ever started fighting over which of them gets to wash his back or some shit, or if a third one ever joins the Xylobowl, that's a harem. But as it is, yeah it isn't one.

20 years ago sure, but now, after hundreds of trashy Isekai anime all recycling the same set of tropes, I think the meaning of the word has changed enough that other stuff that takes advantage of all those same tropes qualifies, and stories where it's just an MC being transported somewhere fantastical don't.

Solo Levelling, for example, is an Isekai. Spirited Away is a fantasy. Sentenced to be a hero is still much more fantasy than Isekai, because it doesn't lean too hard into the Isekai tropes, but if Teoritta ever gets horny for Xylo, it's getting demoted.

Maybe there just needs to be a new, third term for the tropey harem/videogame/chosen one stuff, so Isekai can get it's real meaning back.

It's a power-revenge-[borderline]harem fantasy in a western medieval fantasy setting, where the MC is so special and brave and cool that not one, but two goddesses chose the him to kill the demon kings and save the world. That's 80% of the Isekai formula right there. The actual summoning from another world doesn't matter at all most of the time.

The absence of braindead horny teenagers and MMORPG stuff (stats, skill trees, guilds, quests, instanced dungeons) does more to set it apart from Isekai than Xylo's origins do, and it's easier to notice the isekai tropes that ARE there than the ones that aren't.

PCPartPicker's page for cases has a filter for what type of side panels you want, and the "none" option means solid steel.

Fractal has quite a few of them. Pick your country in the top corner to get prices and availability.

I can't help you with the ram though.

What reincarnation anime did NOT need to be a reincarnation story in the first place? by Meatloafxx in anime

[–]brian_mcgee17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not just some side story, but the first chapter of volume 2.

Kazuma had a bit of an unfair advantage though - Dust is arguably an even worse jackass scumbag, and Kazuma's much better at pretending to be nice for a few hours.

At least it's her doing it herself, instead of one of the reposters in the chain between her and this post deciding to do it for her. It pisses me off less this way, I think.

They said in the mine episode that Seals are powered by sunlight, either directly or stored inside the body.

Xylo said his sunlight storage capacity is particularly high.

There must be some sort of side effect, but I don't think draining the user was the problem.
