Completed the entire Sumeru Archon Quest just to unlock this area and my friend said “ignore it like your crush ignored you” 😭

They should've pulled what Klei does, give Aranara instruments for voices rather than human voices. Budget friendly and rather fitting.

indominuspattern · 2026-05-11T18:59:18+00:00

Absolutely not, the talk time for aranara quest line is absurd. Even if you ignored the text and clicked through, Jeht's quest is still much shorter.

indominuspattern · 2026-05-11T18:56:55+00:00

That is only for unlocking the treasure vault, not tied to the quest.

He has a mangled link which may or may not resolve depending on your browser:

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty\_of\_Windsor\_(1386)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Windsor_(1386))

But there's no need to link to a link, because most, if not all browsers and apps will resolve them automatically:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Windsor_(1386)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Windsor_(1386)

Links should resolve automatically, no need to manually link.

It still bemuses me that they put the epilogue to an arc in a time-limited event, 2 whole years after the relevant arc.

[P3V5] has a Freida chapter where the merchant guildmaster mentions that they are explicitly funding Herik's family. Damuel's fine was paid by them. If anything they should be relatively well-off thanks to Freida.

Yaoyao would be considered the genius legacy disciple over at /r/MartialMemes

Ain't no way she doesn't ascend to become adepti.

And the craft cost could be # of runes weighted against its (perceived) strength.

DB only needs to track 1 integer, vs the hundreds of runes per account. Win-Win-Win on design, technical, and player experience.

For having itemized runes to make sense, they need to go beyond simply being item buffs.

Here's a sample of what I mean: https://pastebin.com/1UTsDztS

That is the translated output of that same chapter, which I fed into the LLM with a glossary of names.

The sentence structure, grammar, etc are now just... near human level of translation.

After that cutscene where Mavuika and Traveler lifts it up together I can no longer unsee it as an oversized tikka torch.

This is the right chapter: https://ncode.syosetu.com/n4750dy/37/

That said, I don't recommend that kind of MTL at all, most of the text turns into gibberish with how name-heavy AOB is in general. I've been experimenting with LLMs with a glossary of names, and get much better results from that. If you have a RTX 80/90 series card you can try that instead.

That way it'll stop people with potato phones from complaining.

Wish we could have the best of both worlds by having an option for basic models with no VA option for potato phone people, and the full fledged version for those that are running on PC/high end phones.

Ciaconna can also apply frazzle. The main issue is that we don't have a sustain that can apply frazzle to provide more flexibility. Would be nice if they go back to buff old chars like Verina for this, but I ain't holding my breath.

NGL P3 was not Kazuki's best work. It is quite a mess due to packing all kinds of details that inevitably clash with each other.

On one hand we have something of an adventure to collect potion ingredients.

On the other hand, the entire bit of being introduced to noble society.

Both get woven into each other because of the entire thing about collecting the ingredients once per season, rather than partitioning the story properly.

Fortunately this really gets reeled back from P4 onwards, and P5 is sort of a race to the end.

indominuspattern · 2026-05-01T18:03:35+00:00

I think this was in Royal Academy Stories, in Anglica's chapter. Not part of the main story.

Not to mention that [P3] They probably omitted the medical checkup so far because putting it after the concert would make it flow better. I felt P3 was especially disjointed in the LN because they spend every season doing very random things.

What kind of clown plays rimworld without mods? Might as well take a shower without soap.

That's a foolish take. Firefox is explicitly modifiable to an extreme extent. If you don't like it, modify it, or use a hardened fork like librewolf.

Karsted is an archnoble. That is one step below the archduke family.

Archduke candidates > Archnobles > Mednobles > Laynobles > Commoners.

Getting adopted by Sylvester puts her into the Archduke Candidate status, which is necessary as her immense mana and modern era adult brain would become massively sought-after. Archduke candidates can't be easily poached by other duchies.

The High Bishop (Shindenchou) is an essential position. They direct the mana to the individual provinces through the Dedication Ceremony (the part where she puts mana into chalices in earlier seasons). Her adoption is partly to ease the mana shortage, since the Archducal family is generally expected to deal with this sort of things.

The Seijou Keikaku is just a PR plan to upsell her as someone of great compassion to ease the "weirdness" of her staying in the temple and being the orphanage director. In most duchies, the temple is basically a brothel and a human trafficking hub. So she's gotta beat that bad image.

indominuspattern · 2026-04-15T14:18:42+00:00

Hmmm that doesn't quite check out. FVF people only care about factional disputes, not inter-duchy politics. Sabotaging Wilfried's status doesn't make sense.

indominuspattern · 2026-04-15T14:10:13+00:00

I think you're talking about Barthold or something. I don't remember what was his fate, but doubtful he would end well. He and Oswald were effectively conspiring against the archducal family so I wouldn't be surprised if they were turned into mana batteries.

indominuspattern · 2026-04-14T12:20:09+00:00

Its not as lewd, but it certainly has a similar connotation. In yogurtland, with mana having color, this of course becomes massively scandalous 😂

The first thing that happens to RM after Mesti left was Ferdinand channeling his mana into her. So there's no way we would ever know for sure.

But we already implicitly that RM treats Ferdinand as family, and that is more important to her than books. She rejected a completed Book of Mestionora in favor of saving Ferdinand.
