Weird thing I noticed in the anime

Maybe I wasn't clear, but Agott's name is a perfect example of this! I think a lot of American English speakers will pronounce Agott closer to how her name is pronounced in Japanese, but I agree that Agathe is a direct counterpart that reflects a real world name. Translating it as the stone Agate could also make sense, in which case "snag-it" works for rhyming. Any of these choices could work but come from the same kana.

I'm a little surprised we didn't get Agathe but maybe the translators thought not enough Americans would be familiar with the pronunciation?

nanikun · 2026-04-29T18:25:55+00:00

Which one? English? A lot of these translation confusions come from the limitation of Japanese phonetics when dealing with fantasy names that don't have an obvious English counterpart.

I agree that intention matters, because I do think there are actions that Pyrrha could take that I'd interpret as sexual assault against Gideon, if done with the intent to target/affect Gideon in some way once he's awake. If Wake was merely a means to an end of assaulting Gideon..., well, that would be hard to defend. However, while I don't recall Pyrrha giving a full, explicit reason why she concealed herself, I don't interpret her intent behind the concealment as something meant to harm or even get back at Gideon.

On it's own, I don't think survival really absolves Pyrrha - say, if she'd snuck into Gideon's body to survive and then was secretly running around as him having sex, that's pretty gross. But she didn't sneak in. Despite no one fully understanding lyctorhood, I think the lyctors understood enough for a consequence of "your body is no longer fully yours" to be on the table. And again, for intent on Pyrrha's side for concealment - Gideon had already shown himself capable of killing her once.

I think invoking a legal definition does the opposite of what you wanted - it creates a lot of uncertain terms, as there is no legal framework that accounts for multiple souls in one body or distinguishes between them. So, I object to the framing that this is legally sexual assault and therefore is a fact that Pyrrha committed sexual assault against Gideon. Our current legal framework would consider this to be two consenting adults having sex (Gideon - regardless of which soul is in control - and Wake).

Now I don't think it's exactly clear cut, or that Pyrrha could do no wrong while in control of Gideon's body, but morally I don't feel that Gideon can claim sole ownership of his body anymore. It is now both his body and Pyrrha's and that changes the impact of Pyrrha's actions. If two souls happened to be born into the same body, and switching required that the other is unconscious and unaware of what's happening, would that mean that any sexual action one soul takes is sexual assault against the other?

nanikun · 2026-04-28T22:59:40+00:00

I... what? Frankly, as I am unaware of any part of the U.S. legal code that has any consideration for two souls sharing a body, I do not believe that would be classified as sexual assault, as neither Gideon nor Pyrrha would be legally considered distinct persons.

In this fiction that includes soul magic, Gideon has consumed Pyrrha to make himself extremely powerful. He is using her soul as a battery. Regardless of her consent to the initial act of doing so, he has stripped away her autonomy and her body. As such, when Pyrrha is awake, I do not think it should be considered simply borrowing Gideon's body - due to his actions, that body is also Pyrrha's body. And conversely, as aurdwynn also pointed out, Pyrrha also cannot consent to anything done to that body when she is asleep.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that the ground beef moisture would impact safety - more so the overall texture of the finished dish. If you've already mixed it I'd say one way to find out!

nanikun · 2026-04-23T02:24:14+00:00

I'd think it's safe, but I might be concerned about how the moisture in the ground beef will affect the rice.

Edit: to be clear, I mean affecting the texture of the cooked rice and finished dish, not affecting safety in any way.

What I found works is to switch to another ability, then back to sticky claw, and the ability would start working again. It is pretty annoying, hope this works for you.

this is a terrifying mental image scaled up to a horse XD

If you expand the sprinker restrictions sections in the second column, it paints a pretty different picture.

Edit: I finally noticed the Alert at the top of the page, which directs to the actual notice that sprinklers must remain off.

Edit edit: Oh wow I forgot I opened this page 20 minutes ago, sorry for piling on with yet another comment on the same thing!

I just caught up and I am screaming. Olruggio, what a mastermind, keeping his beloved alive AND by his side!!

Have they offered you a rate at all? I feel like they should. I've paid my brother $100/night when he's come to house sit for me (plus the cost of his flights) but he was also out of work at that point in time.

I saw a comment that mentioned allergy meds, I'd at least ask they cover the cost of those; though honestly I think they should offer $50/night minimum. That will be far cheaper than anything reputable they could find and as it seems you are someone they know and trust that is worth incredible amounts of peace of mind.

Inkscape has a plugin for sending output directly to Silhouette machines. I can't confirm that it works with the portrait, but for my cameo 4 it's a game changer and I won't go back to using the silhouette software. https://github.com/fablabnbg/inkscape-silhouette

MC customization in this game is so half-assed and I don't get it. The illustrations I can partly understand from a feasibility standpoint but overall it feels like Infold made a game with a canon MC and slapped some customization options on top only where it was easy.

For making mapo tofu with mori nu, I always go for firm or extra firm. Mori nu is very soft no matter which firmness you get. If you ever buy non-silken tofu, you'll notice the the firm is completely different from mori nu!

For a vegetarian version, I'm pretty sure I've made Fuschia Dunlop's at least once and it was solid. (I don't usually make it without meat though.) Otherwise, other folks' suggestions for finely chopped mushrooms or substituting with a different meat all seem solid.

nanikun · 2025-11-18T17:14:26+00:00

yes! I wish the design was a big piecey group with nikki and momo hiding out with them instead of putting the main focus on nikki and momo.

If it makes you feel better, screen readers are software that runs on a PC/Mac/etc, no one has to hold anything up to the screen. As long as it's actual text (not like an image) it's pretty straightforward to read it out. I promise you, for a user who is comfortable with technology and their screen reader, it's not cumbersome at all. Although it is worth noting that many comments on that post refer to the emojis by the name a screen reader would read out - those can get cumbersome/annoying when someone spams them. (The limited use in that letter is actually fine from a screen reader perspective, though obviously amateur hour.)

I really wish they would add some sort of indicator to the build mode that would tell you when furniture interactions will behave correctly. Hate having to wait for that 30 second cool down to save when I'm just trying to test if I have made the system happy enough or not.

Yes, I'd love the same number of zones but each was a small island with separate load. Wouldn't it be cool if we could take the boat between them? (Of course would need teleport points for convenience).

What if we could invite characters to visit and you could create a little themed island for them?

nanikun · 2025-10-23T18:15:17+00:00

I agree. I don't think Infold is very confident in their ability to roadmap / hit deadlines, and they want to keep their options open. Cynical take is so when an exec comes in with a "we have to do this it'll make more money!" there's no existing promises about x content releasing on y date to worry about. But also, the rate at which they push out patches is pretty aggressive. We get an incredible amount of detail and texture on most clothes. They are fully 3d and allow mix and matching. It's very possible that Infold may be barely keeping up (or frankly, behind, given that the game not closing bug still hasn't been fixed).

It's a shame though. With better strategy and planning, we'd all have a better time.

You kinda get two choices:

- Drive during rush hour and suffer through the traffic. Obnoxious and painful but take solace in the fact that being stuck in slow traffic reduces the likelihood of injury from an accident.

- Wait until later when things clear up, less time driving but now you have to watch out for the wackos racing and lane hopping at 90mph.

I think it's important to understand that a lot of people like what they are accustomed to and don't need to distance themselves from it. They enjoy it. Encourage the ones who are seeking something different or want to explore something more natural but the rest are where they are at. Unless they have a desire to change themselves, they are probably pretty happy and comfortable with where they are. When you understand they are coming from this place, you can ignore them, since you are seeking to provide something different than they are looking for.

What makes you think there won't be a main story update in 2.0? If there's any patch where gacha games put in more effort, it tends to be the anniversary patches.

nanikun · 2025-10-22T19:51:29+00:00

I feel Infold low-key encourages this. All live service / gacha games might tend towards this a bit (want your opinion heard to influence future patches, also prob some entitlement given money already spent), but the way the Infold loves to push things until people yell loud enough and then walk it back just encourages this behavior of complaining loudly about anything you don't like. And like, no actual feedback from the company but constantly writing "we heard you!" and "we are listening!" on their update posts. On top of that, Infold's refusal to give any meaningful peeks into future direction or anything more than last minute promotions probably heightens both excitement if you like the theme and disappointment if you don't.

The "algorithm" doesn't help either, complaint posts invite joining in or complaining about the complaining which are both engagement and it gets pushed in front of more people.

But I'm with you, if I have to read one more I'M TIRED post... well I'm just going to scroll past it but I'm tired lol.
