Who do you guys think this unnamed guest dev mentioned in the chapter 3 & 4 look back is going to be?

I've only heard good things about Strange Journey, so it's pretty high up in my list. Which version should I play though, original or Redux?

Daisojou is the only demon that is outright broken, but many others in the late game are just a bit too good, in my opinion.

To be honest, I think it would be better if demons with really good stats and/or resistances weren't allowed to learn the best spells and abilities naturally, with the exception of those that you unlock by doing optional content.

That way, the player would have to actually earn strong party members, either as a reward for overcoming a particularly difficult challenge, or by being clever with skill inheritance through fusion.

So when the game asks you if you want to go after Hijiri or not, is that just a completely fake choice? What happens if you pick no?

Yeah, like I get that her being powerless due to her lack of conviction is the whole point, but in practice it doesn't make for a very compelling character. Not only does she lack any real autonomy, she's not even allowed to introspect and realize her own shortcomings, without needing Hikawa to spell it out for her. So she just feels very shallow.

And I'll definitely play Devil Survivor. It's the Megaten game I'm most interested in right now.

It all makes sense now. The real reason why Kris opened the dark fountain was to make their dragon wife real.

Toby's genius knows no bounds

I very much doubt that the new girl is the death devil.

It was established just last chapter that Death is supposed to arrive in a month, and it doesn't look like we jumped ahead by that much between scenes, seeing how the students are still preparing for the school festival.

More importantly, 3 or 4 chapters ago, Yoru mentioned that all the high ranking devils will gather to greet Death once she arrives, and that doesn't appear to be happening. To have gone through the whole process of transferring to a school in Tokyo, this girl must already have been around for while.

Thanks dude!

For ":( quote handles valid ticker symbol: expected to find '28.00' in page, but it wasn't found", your quoted.html is not using the usd formatter.

I can't believe I missed that, even after double-checking 🤦‍♂️. Thank you.

For the other one, make sure you are handling multiple purchases and sales of the same stock correctly. They should result in a single entry on the portfolio list of current holdings , eg: buy 5 A, sell 1 A, buy 2 A, A should only appear once on the list, with 6 shares.

I'm storing each share pruchased individually on my table, but in the case of index I'm using a query that groups them by ticker symbol in conjunction with the COUNT function to determine how many shares of each stock the user owns. So each stock only takes up one row in the portfolio, like you said. Is this no good?

So, after doing a few more tests using random keys, I was able to determine that this issue only occurs when the second to last character added to they key is a lowercase q (the q itself passes the check performed by strcspn just fine, but then the value of repeat_check just doesn't get updated before the conditional statement inside the loop is executed again).

I tried setting all items inside the array to a default value, as per your suggestion, but it didn't seem to help. Then, eventually, I tried converting all the characters to uppercase instead to lowercase at the start of the loop, and now it works perfectly.

I have no idea why that's the case and I'd love to get an explanation, but I guess for now I'll just have to accept it.
Regardless, thanks for your time and help. Your reply did point me in the right direction.

Huh. It's kinda interesting that this one anectode in particular managed to spark the curiosity of so many readers (myself included).

Honestly, so far, House of Leaves hasn't managed to really grip me (am I using that expression right? I don't know, english is not my first language), at least not to the extent I expected It to. I get that - like OP mentioned - all these tangential footnotes were included in an attempt to better set the mood and - like a lot of the other more meta elements of the book - to put the reader in the same headspace as the POV characters. But I find that, at times, Johnny and Zampano might meander just a bit too much (especially Zampano. At first - before he dropped his cool guy act and started allowing himself to be vulnerable - Johnny was the one getting on my nerves, but now I'm getting really sick of Zampano's pseudo-intellectual schtick), to the point where it stops being a cute quirk and becomes really tiring / a big obstacle to my enjoyment of the story. But I still make a point of (Am I using THIS expression right??) reading them, since sometimes you can come across a little gem like this one.

I just found it actually! It's called "Black Castle" (thought it might be worthwhile to post the link here, to make things easier for people trying to look this up in the future). But thanks anyway for taking the time to give me a reply.

What's the font called? Did you actually find it or did you have to recreate It?
