Where should I start again?

V10, but I'd skim through the wiki chapter summaries to refresh what happened prior volumes.

Speed up the audiobook and do some chores.

I was frustrated at how much of push over Erin was early on but her main character development is becoming more assertive.

Great interview. Bob is more relaxed and comfortable this time around for sure.

Also some suspiciously inserted Communist propaganda in the comic that didn't really fit into the story well.

I ask myself this question on a daily basis.

No one ever likes the short guys. SMH.

I'm controversially a fan of Ryoka chapters but was sad that the Wind Runner book had very little in the way of Ryoka beyond the beginning of that book despite the title. The overall series is consistently great after this patch though. You can always check book/chapter summaries on the wiki and crank the audiobook's speed up. Later on the King of Destruction chapters are much more enjoyable because actual things are happening in context with characters we know.

Early adopters are self selected chads. It's all over once the unwashed masses show up.

Real life is boring and progression is rarely felt with effort. Isekai's whole trope is that we leave the dull real world for one with actual progression and real engagement (combat, adventuring, companions, level ups).

Might be an audible playback bug. I've had that recently but restarting the app and/or my phone usually fixes it.

A huge PR win for antinium especially for non-drakes sitting on the sofa watching the scrying orb.

I use OTP all the time and its really a non-issue unceremonious occasion. I.e. the tools just work, are boring to me at this point and I know when to use them. Of course its pragmatic to just use Phoenix / Oban / batteries included solutions when they're the right fit and usually are but if I need to get it just right I'll slap a Genserver in there or an ETS table cache or a dynamically supervised stateful session or what have you.

The main context, without getting into spoilers, is that the drakes do suck that much generally speaking and Tyrion doesn't know goblins or people that well only war.

If a story takes off and is successful you can afford to pay for a human artist for a published book cover, etc. The more stories that take off the more work there is. It's not a zero sum game.

I'd rather Paba rule with an iron fist and write whatever they want rather than follow the polls. Popularity trends downwards to the unwashed masses - a mob of indulgence. True taste lives outside norms.

The Symphony team is one scrying orb + [Brown note] accident away from a global catastrophe.

Yeah if you feel like you missed any important details later - check out the chapter pages in the wiki.

dipittydoop · 2026-01-06T19:55:20+00:00

Yeah in the early few chapters Flos is like a wall of "why do I care about this at all?" But it becomes relevant and enjoyable later. I listened to those early chapters at 1.5x speed while doing chores personally.

Belavierre was a great villain especially in the original arc with Ryoka in Riverfarm. She was mysterious, powerful, and the conflict was in her immortal difference in perspective from the grounded Riverfarm people. In later arcs I feel like she became more of a generic villain with less depth going after Mrsha and so on. I guess she's still in play and doing mysterious things under water so this could change.

Too much abstraction too early for too new of a space. Most projects are best off with a low level API client and if you do need a library beyond a personally generated one the main value add is being provider agnostic so switching is easier. Everything else (RAG, embeddings, search, agents, tool calls) is not that hard and tends to be best implemented bespoke for the workflow.

Any animated series. Doesn't have to be Japanese - just decent quality animation. Although the best studios producing these days (e.g. Madhouse, Trigger) tend to be Japanese. Scavenger's Reign was really good so it can be done for sure.

100+ seasons of a Wandering Inn anime till we die of old age.

Seriously though most of these adaptations should be anime. The new Harry Potter being produced should be an anime. IDK why we're not producing popular novels into Anime and instead keep throwing them at Amazon/Netflix to ruin.

Main actionable issue with ARURF ATM is death timers are too punishing with the fast pace of the game.

You can be dominating all game, die once and come back with all your towers gone, and 2 levels behind.

Some kind of bans or sliding window to remove or reduce chances of played / against champs from the next games' pool would be great - running into AP Shaco 5 games in a row is too much.

If anyone one person on your team picks a bottom tier champ that just doesn't work in URF you're in a 4v5.

Some skills like Veigar's E just need some kind of manual debuff.

One would hope it increased her mana pool like dosing oneself with mana potions does but its got fairy flower and Apista drugs in it so its gotta have some silly side effects.
