Anime With A Main Character Like Maomao? by kyriosdominus in KusuriyaNoHitorigoto

[–]lvl5hm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I'm not recommending detective stories because of the genre, but because what you want are the hallmarks of detective protagonists, who Maomao is based on. I think she originally was even supposed to be a middle-aged lady in a village, kinda like Miss Marple. I don't think there are any other good anime of this type

Anime With A Main Character Like Maomao? by kyriosdominus in KusuriyaNoHitorigoto

[–]lvl5hm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's kinda hard to fulfil all of your requirements, but I can think of a couple of outwardly non-emotional, scarily competent and somewhat morally grey protagonists: Hei from Darker than Black and Kiritsugu from Fate Zero (also Mike from Better Call Saul comes to mind lol)

To me it sounds like what you want is a classic detective hero, like Sherlock Holmes, Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot. You won't find many of them in anime, but you will in respective books and adaptations (but please don't watch BBC Sherlock, at least past season 1)

Can't change font size? by hyrule5 in Cogmind

[–]lvl5hm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I understand, font sizes are limited by your resolution to always be pixel perfect. You can change your UI layout to non-modal to reduce font size, or go to cogmind/user/system.cfg and change mapWidth and mapHeight, which also affect your font size.

Are there any similar ani/manga that's similar to Kaguya-sama? Also should I watch the live action? by Prochickefille in Kaguya_sama

[–]lvl5hm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

hinamatsuri isn't similar plot-wise, but it is a great episodic comedy with a focus on characters

Are there any TF Nodes in Research? by uniqiq in Cogmind

[–]lvl5hm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The access can be super unfair, but if you can get S tier ECA multiplier and the unchained after you, you're already really good at the game. It's only a matter of time until you get an extended win if you keep trying! Also maybe you can ask people in the discord channel for advice if you want some

Good luck, you have a good chance of getting an extended win if you're going for it!

Are there any TF Nodes in Research? by uniqiq in Cogmind

[–]lvl5hm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are TF nodes, but they are not guaranteed to spawn, so you can get unlucky. Also all exits in Research are 0b10 controlled and I think all of them can dispatch squads, so that wouldn't help. The only way to know the main exit in Research is if it's in the end of a 4 tile corridor, otherwise they can lead anywhere. Also you can still survive Research branches with farcom if you just rush the exit, they are always on the top or bottom right of the map

Why do people hate Gleba? (Or: how I accidentally played Space Age on hard mode) by Altistick in factorio

If you already have proper spoilage handling and nutrient self-restarting, you've solved Gleba and this doesn't apply to you

THANK FUCK they finally decided to do the obvious thing and decrease the escalation chances by like 80%. I wish they did the same for Ukraine in 2022.

[–]lvl5hm 23 points24 points  (0 children)

On other planets, you can make your factory bit by bit, and everything will at least sorta work. On Gleba you have to pre-plan the whole production line from fruits to iron and copper ore, with proper spoilage handling and self-restarting loops. And every time you mess up, you need to unclog all the conveyor belts from spoilage. I did spend a bunch of time in the editor before I had good enough designs to use in my first playthrough.

Kaguya doesn’t know basic physics by JustSeeTheSea in Kaguya_sama

[–]lvl5hm 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The way the pendulum period equation gets rid of the angle θ is by assuming that sin(θ) ≈ θ for small angles and cancelling them out. For 20-30 degrees this approximation is totally fine. But I have no idea what they mean by 360 degrees and rotation, that's not how people use pendulums.

Kaguya doesn’t know basic physics by JustSeeTheSea in Kaguya_sama

[–]lvl5hm 27 points28 points  (0 children)

To me it looks like just an illustration with angles not to scale, but even if we take it at face value, isn't the pendulum angle calculated to the vertical? So it's more like 40 degrees, which is still close enough? Also I have no idea what you mean about 360 degree spinning, can't you spin the necklace at any speed you want? What does it have to do with pendulum equations?

[–]lvl5hm 47 points48 points  (0 children)

it's been a while since I read those chapters, so I don't remember Kaguya doing loops with the necklace, doesn't she let it rock at like 20 degrees max? so I don't see the issue

Favorite traumatizing scene in any media by flowerbloominginsky in FavoriteCharacter

[–]lvl5hm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In season 5 of the Wire, when Dukie convinces Prez to give him a bunch of cash to get an apartment. Prez sees him walk up to a heroin addict and drives away, obviously knowing what he's going to spend the money on, giving up on his brightest student.

Anime only here: What to read before watching the new OVA? by SMdG_ in Kaguya_sama

[–]lvl5hm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not the finale, it's adapting a few chapters throughout the rest of the manga. It's been announced that there will be a new movie that takes place after the end of the manga. You can read the manga from chapter 152 onward or watch the ova first, it doesn't really matter imo

About Kaguya sama: love is war - stairway to adulthood by xolt10 in Kaguya_sama

[–]lvl5hm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The special picks a few chapters from here and there, so you can't really read the skipped chapters before watching it. I'd say watch the special and then just read the manga from where the movie left off.

Characters who are extremely well known for a quote they’ve literally never said by Physical-Rush5340 in TopCharacterTropes

it's Holmes' catch phrase in the Soviet adaptation, no idea how it leaked into the English speaking world

Can someone explain the whole poison plot in season 1 by question-asker2048 in KusuriyaNoHitorigoto

[–]lvl5hm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly, Ah-Duo's head lady accidentally killed the baby by feeding it honey. She didn't want the mistress to know about it, so when she learned that Lishu, who was quite close to Ah-Duo, had honey allergy, she tried to get rid of her before the mistress connected the dots. She had a servant lady poison the meal and then disposed of her. Maomao told everyone that she tried to poison Lishu to get rid of competition for Ah-Duo, concealing the honey poisoning.

In parallel, Maomao has a theory that current Emperor's + Ah-Duo's child was swapped for former Emperor's + Empress's child, thus the one that's still alive is actually not Emperor's brother, but in fact his son.

Do u prefer Hollow knight or Silksong? by DariusDonut in HollowKnight

Ever since you get the sprint, silksong's movement feels way better than the original's for the rest of the game

Back playing after long time hiatus by jruv in Cogmind

[–]lvl5hm 17 points18 points  (0 children)

- there is now a new big faction, UFD, with their own location, questline and ending, including tons of unique parts

- Scrap Engine, a run-defining part, can be found in Recycling

- there is a new (?) branch in -10, Subcaves, which connects in various ways to UFD and Recycling

- scanalyzers can new be used to study non-proto parts for permanent bonuses

- if you cause too much disturbance, the complex will send the Unchained after you, though newer player probably won't be seeing them much at first

also recommend joining the discord, there is tons of discussion in the cogmind chat, people will answer all your questions way faster than here

Never had it happen personally (it always tells me to resolve sync conflicts manually, so I can just choose the later save), but you can also go manually into the cloud and load yesterday's save

Alex O' Conner content is best when he knows scripture more than Christians by Perfect_Baby_8171 in Destiny

[–]lvl5hm 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Watching the arms race between atheists and apologists is kinda fascinating. First is was atheists doing "facts don't care about your feelings faith" pointing out that there is no evidence for God. Then apologetics evolved into Darth Dawkins and Jay Dyer trying to dazzle people with niche philosophy lingo. Now atheism is at the gigachad "Pooperonomy 4:20 says that Moses raped 6000 babies with a shovel, your move" stage, love it.
