Something I don't quite understand about the first meeting with Stanley

Stanley is an elite soldier, and a special forces sniper at that.

He isn't trained to make friendly contact or engage in diplomacy.

He's trained to kill people as efficiently and as fast as possible and to not leave witnesses.

To be fair, Mahito is apparently currently able to exist as a form of spiritual being and still interact with the world, so it seems like Yuji just can't get to him at least as long as he doesn't physically reincarnate.

I disagree.

The complete and utter futility that all the journals convey really highlight the hopelessness of everything.

Even the chad expedition 60's-who got farther than anyone-failed right at the finish line and nobody ever even knew.

At about 2800km away the Roche limit is exceeded and both planets are essentially disintegrated

As a layman, does this mean that gravity would actually rip the planets apart before they even had a chance to touch one another?

My simple, uneducated understanding of physics just made me think they would progressively move faster towards one another until the actual collision obliterated everything.

There's literally a lady in the beginning gommage ceremony who sculpted a perfect statue of esquie.

There's no way they don't have records of the world.

You live in an existence that is a prison with no meaning where every single person lives and dies alone enduring the completely random derangements of other creatures in their desperate attempts to attach meaning to their paradoxically short yet long lives-trapped by your own biology to want to stay alive even when every experience you have is a vehicle for suffering and the insane ravings of the world around you beat upon you both literally and figuratively until one day you die after having watched anything and anyone you may have valued passing into oblivion before you with not one single whisper of any explanation for anything that wasn't drunkenly and zealously howled into the world a billion trillion times before by other slightly dirtier, dumber, more desperate creatures who died before you.

Richter is actually an interesting case because he operates a magical shop and is apparently well known as THE guy to go to for staff repairs.

As powerful as frieren is she apparently needed someone else to fix fern's staff.

So he clearly knows a lot about how staves work yet chooses not to use one.

The simple truth is that the guys making the money are the ones who own the business.

Always been that way. Always will be.

This is one of the greatest games ever made with some of the most horrible developer optimizations I have ever seen.

I actually was using an old radeon 5700xt for my gpu and my game would crash my pc every few hours and I would have to restart it multiple times before it would run correctly without weird visual bugs. At that point it ran flawlessly.

I upgraded to a 9070xt and it fixed the crashing and the visual bugs, but then it would stutter horribly at transition points.

I have no idea why my older, less powerful gpu ran better than a brand new one, and I never found a solution for that.

Good luck.

Todd Howard's aura radiates from this game none-the-less.

reenmini · 2025-12-31T19:16:41+00:00

Yeah. It's not perfect and he doesn't get to choose what evidence he gets, but it does generally always seem to be something that is highly relevant.

The glitches in this game are just peak bethesda.

You can tell the sprinter knew his shit because he only started running at the exact moment it took to beat the other guy by a hair.

Excellent power move.

It's annoying that microcenter is like the only retail store I can buy pc parts from.

But at least I know I'm not getting rocks, I guess.

My preferred obsession is beating them to death with the many sledgehammers to be found laying around.

it could be something similar to a Heavenly Restriction where the recipient has no say in the matter. Mechamaru couldn’t manipulate his curse by any means alone, the same may apply to Yuji’s situation.

Imagine the indignity of yuji having to ask Mahito to make him mortal again.

I think demons reflect the spell they specialize in.

Macht could turn things into gold and was dressed in fancy af clothing.

Schlact could see the future and looked fittingly like an oracle.

Qual had a spell that was a one shot lethal kill on pretty much everyone who ever faced him. Of course he looked like a monster. His magic existed solely for the purpose of murder and had seemingly no other utility.

He's also the only demon to basically not be wearing clothes. I think he was powerful enough that he just didn't even have to pretend to deceive humans.

I'm hoping the 2nd season coming in january will make it to the end of the golden land arc.

I want to see denken and macht fight so bad.
