I like those bricks.

#

Big, chunky, pretty.

proud jay
#

well that's just the structural bricks lol

#

there will be other bricks put in front of it

summer cedar
#

where do the defence turrets go?

proud jay
#
proud jay
soft night
#

not like dieter build the castle look for outer

summer cedar
#

You'll need a basement to replace it, if you put the turrets up there.

proud jay
#

well there is a basement

#

you've seen it

#

plenty of space for bodies

summer cedar
#

Where'd the wine cellar go, then?

proud jay
#

I don't drink

#

so I'll store the guest wine at the neighbours

summer cedar
#

very convenient.

#

are you making a game room or a guitar room?

proud jay
#

that all just goes in the office space I guess

fluid bloom
#

your soon-to-be-house?

proud jay
#

yup

fluid bloom
#

odd to see bricks going up without a wooden frame 😄

#

does the insulation go on the inside or outside of those bricks?

#

like. on the inner or outer side of the wall

proud jay
#

I think both

#

most on the outside I guess

#

idk I don't build houses for a living

#

like between these bricks and the facade bricks

fluid bloom
#

and an air barrier on the inner most side?

#

if I built a house I'd probably go for a material like this for the walls

#

air barrier + insulation in one piece, then you just stack those and pour concrete in the cavities

unborn lotus
#

but don't you need like pillars + beams? just bricks?

proud jay
#

there will be beams

#

like between the floors

#

no pillars tohugh

#

I think

#

again, I don't build houses

unborn lotus
#

I guess it's just different standards

#

can't build without corner pillars here due to earthquakes

#

our old house made just of bricks started to split and they used metal beams to tie it up back together

fluid bloom
#

@proud jay how much cost per square meter btw? Approx?

proud jay
#

I'll let you know when it's finished

fluid bloom
#

I hope you have some sort of a budget 😅

proud jay
#

if I can still afford internet to use discord

#

I would have to go look for the estimates

#

it was somewhere in the 700+ total

#

ground floor 160m2

#

basesment almost as big

#

first floor about 130m2

#

and an attic

#

yes, I am currently crying

fluid bloom
#

😄

#

I've been trying to find a place to build a house too but all plots are tiny 400-600 square meter shits

proud jay
#

our building plot is 777m2

#

but we have a secon plot next to it

#

of 680m2

fluid bloom
#

well well well, look at mr. moneybags over here

#

😄

#

I'm tempted to move back to where my parents live

#

plots would be 10k for 1000 m2 or so

proud jay
fluid bloom
#

ah

proud jay
#

I think if I had to buy the plot ourselves it would be close to 300k

fluid bloom
#

sound similar to Helsinki

#

well, depending on location

#

deppressing

#

these prices I mean

proud jay
#

sure is

#

I get a mini panic attack every time I get a bill

#

we almost went through our loan

#

so then we have to start spending our actual money 😔

queen isle
#

so xbox games are all going multiplat

#

it's funny how xbox was supposed to buy activsion.
but it appears the opposite happened

proud jay
#

what do you mean

river sable
#

how big is the second kitchen / exclusive bread making room going to be?

proud jay
#

extra 600m2 building

river sable
#

I expected nothing less, very good

mossy nexus
#

but only 1cm tall

river sable
#

haha

#

flatbread only

#

I made the world's biggest flatbread oven and it only cost me everything

proud jay
#

I think thats first floor done

timber viper
proud jay
#

Very cool

summer cedar
unreal ether
#

Either a different light colour compared to ambient light, or he didn't like them so made the builders swap them

summer cedar
#

OR 🤔 these are bricks that change colour according to the day.

#

On Tuesday, they are a lovely yellow/gold.

#

On Fridays, they become a slightly gloomier clay red.

#

Tomorrow, they could be violet.

unborn lotus
#

So wait, brick house here and @white oxide with wood frames right?

proud jay
summer cedar
#

I knew it. Magic bricks.

#

I bet they use megalights to render properly, too.

proud jay
#

possibly

summer cedar
#

I am taking the room in the back, by the way.

#

Make sure it has a hidden expandable space.

proud jay
#

will install the wormhole there

summer cedar
#

Hrm. Travel through the Farce I shall.

#

Bring mucho breado with me, I will.

cursive crypt
#

Not bad, after monitor calibration. 870:1 contrast tho. Kinda normal for IPSs

white oxide
#

With cement board siding

summer cedar
#

Are you building a wormhole for me too, Hawke?

white oxide
#

its for my gf, goes to her bedroom

#

😂

soft night
#

marshal building go that smoothly?

celest musk
#

is fighting in Witcher 3 as annoying as it is in Kingdome come deliverance?

fathom wadi
#

fighting in The Witcher 3 is like defences in PoE 2. Just roll around like a cabbage.

celest musk
#

never played PoE

fathom wadi
#

I wanted to like TW3, and the three times I've tried to play it I stop playing at the same point everytime. Right after the first zone. I know I should play more from there but it bores the hell out of me with the conversations and doing junk jobs like help this farmer, find this thing, stop this dude. But I don't downplay how good it is. Its just not for me.

celest musk
#

so lots of pointless fetch quests. hmmm

fathom wadi
#

maybe it was just the first zone, I couldn't say beyond that

#

I think some were optional in all fairness but I'm one of those people who sees a quest prompt and does it

celest musk
#

well i wouldn't mind a few pointless quests to get into the game 😄

#

lot's of games do that

#

KcD lives off from pointless quests, "unique" fighting mechanics and a weird moving horse 😄

steady stone
#

fighting in the witcher 3 is so bad I literally stopped playing the game on the first fight

#

couldn't they have just coppied god of war or dark souls or something that isn't complete ass? or just some turn based RPG stuff? is the fighting even important or fun in that game?

upbeat cosmos
#

i was also bored at first but after playing it and its dlcs it's my favorite game now

#

well not exactly bored but it wasn't intriguing

white oxide
#

trudging

#

the best term for a lot of games. theres usually either a lot of it in the beginning or the middile

errant raven
#

@summer cedar so I watched darling in the Franxx right

#

Watching the konosuba movie before I watch s3

#

Wasnt expecting the darling in the Franxx reference they did but it was great

fleet tangle
#

Franxx was very good.

errant raven
#

Are you lying or being genuine

fleet tangle
#

I enjoyed it.

errant raven
#

So you actually like it and dont secretly hate it 🥺

fleet tangle
#

No, I really liked it.

errant raven
#

I finally went to bed at konosuba ep3

fleet tangle
#

Hokkaido gals are super adorable was also good.

errant raven
#

Omg you watched it to

white oxide
#

*sitting here watching all the fun sci-fi stuff

errant raven
#

You gotta watch quintessential quintuplets

#

It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen

fleet tangle
#

I did like it, but it wasn't amazing.

#

7/10?

errant raven
#

Is it because of the ending

fleet tangle
#

I can't remember the ending.

errant raven
#

He married yotsuba

fleet tangle
#

I think it was a well written generic romcom.

#

Nothing special.

errant raven
#

Doesnt have to be special to be a 10-10

fleet tangle
#

Oh the green one. Yeah.

#

Yes it does. That's kind of the point.

errant raven
#

He should have picked miku or nino or itsuki

white oxide
#

i mean i have a collection

errant raven
#

You could use some anime in your life

white oxide
#

thats pretty much it

errant raven
#

You should watch darling in the Franxx

errant raven
#

Yes

#

You're missing out on a ton of greatness

white oxide
#

im more into american stuff

#

also not a subs guy

errant raven
#

It has dub

white oxide
#

gotta be dubbed, cause everything i watch i do for the ADHD

#

so not a whole lot of attention paid to stuff

errant raven
#

American stuff sucks

errant raven
#

When it comes to cartoons. They can't do shit but make trash

#

Butt jokes over and over

#

And ruining cartoons with race swaps, cutting out characters, or sexual innuendos for the adults to enjoy

#

I'll take bad endings over overall trash

white oxide
#

as opposed to fan service every episode?

#

tbh a lot of the fox shows start good, but they are so cheap to keep running they can serious drop off in quality

errant raven
#

Quintessential quintuplets doesnt have fan service

#

And honestly, the ones that just focus on story are becoming my favourites

#

Chained soldier highschool dxd and testament of sister new devil are good to me, but I really enjoyed hokkaido and QQ a lot more than for some reason

#

Maybe I'm not as much of a degen as I thought

#

@broken sigil oh man did you know phones have photon sensors built into the front camera????

summer cedar
#

They did a nice job with the follow-up episodes.

#

Although it IS a straight up action flick, for all intents and purposes.

errant raven
#

Chatgpt told me goodnight

#

I keep getting it to try to teach me math but I no understand. Why me be cursed to stupidity 🥺

errant raven
#

I want more hokkaido

#

And qq

#

The relationship aspect of Franxx is why I enjoyed it so much

#

It makes me enjoy this framed canvas pic I bought last year in may so much more

errant raven
#

@zinc matrix I'm starting my peppers now

#

14 crisp and hot varieties

errant raven
#

15*

#

Had room to spare so I went ahead and started my sungold cherry tomatoes

#

Lights putting out 180ppfd and a dli of 14.9-15.4. Everything should be going fine from now on up till may-june

errant raven
#

Oh man I forgot about jalapenos

#

I wanted some red ones for once

#

And chocolate rocotos

#

Mannnn fuck

#

@summer cedar in starting re:zero, didnt expect a full season of 14 episodes to all be 1 hour each

#

14 hours just to watch 1 season, that's 3 seasons of 12 episode each being 23 minutes long.

summer cedar
errant raven
#

Nope

#

Re zero uses a lot of 3d animation

#

Not worth it honestly

#

Konosuba's ending song for season 2 is music fit for a god

errant raven
#

It's that anime with the protagonist my foster parents kept calling me

#

Tomoki

#

Never dyed my hair blue again

#

Tomoki didnt even have blue hair, they was referring to nymph.

#

My foster dad and mom WATCHED this???

#

But they were 50

tulip orbit
#

Quick question while I'm eating breakfast(and before I jump back into playing a game), I've got a Manny char that dies when I shoot it, it ragdolls and I can shoot it and the gun applies an impulse on the body making it fly around. I had to set the impulse strength fairly high for actually moving the test physic objects in the world, but its too strong for the body... Should I just lower the strength? or is there another way?

#

its fun to watch the body go flying when I shoot it, but not very realistic

summer cedar
#

If the impulse strength is affected by a weight property for the ragdoll, you could try increasing that weight instead.

#

Otherwise, yeah, lower the impulse strength.

white oxide
#

im happy with my older american "anime"

#

and by older i mean 70-80s

errant raven
#

What is that

BraveStarr is an American Space Western animated series that aired 65 episodes from September 1987 to February 1988 in syndication. The show was created a year after Mattel had released a line of action figures. BraveStarr was the last animated series produced by Filmation and Group W Productions before Filmation shut down in 1989. Reruns of the...

I have a massive library of these old shows for my kids if i ever have any

@summer cedar hello https://youtu.be/SyuJI8xU0gc

Welcome back to class! We've arrived at the second part of Brandon's plot theory lectures. In this lecture, we're taking a deep dive into different story structures and how you can use principles from any or all of them to create a framework for your story. From the Hero's Journey to Three Act Structure to Story Circle, you'll get an overview of...

summer cedar
#

😓 Dodged a bullet there. Nice.

white oxide
proud jay
#

who has a popup on successful compile lol

white oxide
#

idk

#

also deiter, why you going for cinderblock walls?

proud jay
#

it's not

white oxide
#

those bricks are huge

proud jay
#

it's called "quick build brick"

#

but that's not the final brick

#

you build another brick wall in front of it

#

and put insulation between

white oxide
#

hm

#

why that not wood

proud jay
#

houses here are rarely build out of wood

white oxide
#

here its all wood or metal

proud jay
#

I know

#
white oxide
#

yeah thats kinda what most here have

proud jay
#

well, there's lots of brick options

white oxide
#

30% less expensive compared to masonry

proud jay
#

cool

#

looks nice

#

not really my style personally

white oxide
#

plus you can paint it

#

same

proud jay
#

you can paint bricks if you want

#

but I don't want to lol

#

cause that means you have to repaint every x years

white oxide
#

I really wanted brick but its $8,000 more

proud jay
#

it's very rare to see houses with these wood panels here

#

you mostly see it on holiday homes

white oxide
#

it concrete fiber based panel

proud jay
#

could be 😆

#

it just looks like wood

white oxide
#

thats the idea

#

has a grain

proud jay
#

we're gonna get tiles that look like wood though

white oxide
#

but will last as long as brick

proud jay
#

probably this

white oxide
#

here we call that LVP

#

its going to be my flooring

proud jay
#

what's LVP stand for?

#

oh no

#

it's not vinyl if that's what you mean

white oxide
#

luxury vinyl planking

proud jay
#

it's a ceramic tile

#

it just looks like wood

white oxide
#

ah

proud jay
#

that tile in the livin room/kitchen

#

and then a cream like tile probably for bathroom and hallway stuff

#

all other pics are on my wife's phone though

white oxide
#

lol

#

but yeah

#

im doing LVP on everything

#

its pretty low cost

proud jay
#

we're thinking maybe vinyl on the first floor

#

since there's no floor heating there

#

except for the bathroom

#

so maybe tiles would be too cold

white oxide
#

so whats the ETA for your house to be done?

proud jay
#

optimisticallly end of year

#

but we'll see

white oxide
#

damn that long?

proud jay
#

well basement + 2 floors + attic

white oxide
#

true

#

mine should be done by end of april

proud jay
#

and it's all done by different contractors so depending on planning we could lose time

#

but idk we'll see

#

it's quite a big house

#

so takes time

#

but it can be worse

#

my sister in law's house took 4 years due to mistakes and shit planning lol

white oxide
#

oof

proud jay
#

but if it doesn't go too fast I can save up some extra money to pay 😆

#

we're currently living in a house owned by family so at least we're not losing money on rent as long as it's being built

#

so we're not in a super rush

white oxide
#

yeah

#

that always helps

proud jay
#

and with the baby on the way we'll have plenty to keep us busy

fathom wadi
#

with a baby on the way, you've already been busy 😉

proud jay
#

true

white oxide
#

you looking for some?

#

i can ask my designer

proud jay
#

doesn't canada have floor guys?

white oxide
#

yeah im pretty sure whatever brand is kinda local

#

and its not cheap

#

less than carpet and tile, but still a substantial amount

proud jay
#

I never got the carpet thing americans do

#

it looks so weird to me

#

like putting carpet in a room ok

#

but making the actual floor carpet

#

🤷‍♂️

summer cedar
#

I couldn't spam any screenshots today and yesterday.

#

Courtesy an NDA.

#

But, the game itself is pretty good.

#

Endless Legend 2

#

It's a hex-based civ game.

#

You might have played any of the Endless titles; you'd have an idea of this if you did.

#

Sniper Elite: Resistance and Citizen Sleeper 2 are on Game Pass.

#

And Bethesda is rumoured to have a second Starfield game planned.

#

and a second DLC for the first game.

#

and Wes Johnson woke up from his coma, apparently. That's cool. 🙂 Fans raised $170,000 for his medical bills.

#

👀 Doom: The Dark Ages releases on Game Pass on May 15th. Apparently, Subnautica 2 and The Outer Worlds 2 are also on the cards.
Also, Fable is getting a remake/remaster? 🤔

#

Oh, no. It's Fable 4! 😄

white oxide
#

my family home has it, its not bad, also warmer in winter

summer cedar
#

Made with UE 4, apparently.

Solo Levelling was as usual amazing. 😄 @errant raven

errant raven
#

Normie

#

I'm busy finishing highschool dxd and testament of sister new devil. Then following them up by watching peter grills, remake our life, dragonaut, demon lord retry

#

Also how not to summon a demon lord since crunchyroll has season 3 and 9anime doesnt

#

I'll save solo leveling for when I'm out of good anime I already have picked out

summer cedar
#

I think Blizzard will be slightly miffed.

#

This episode, we had deep red high orcs, straight from Warcraft.

errant raven
#

My watchlist is a bit full stm

#

As you see, it isnt much of a degenerate list either

#

Just ignore bikini warriors, testament of sister new devil, highschool dxd, dr stone, peter grills, and heavens lost property. 🙂 act like they don't exist

errant raven
#

That was Tolkien who made that fantasy race

summer cedar
#

He copied it from something else, I am sure.

#

Everyone's a copycat.

#

But, Blizzard has money to sue.

#

and Tolkien is dead.

errant raven
#

Modern descriptions atleast

#

No, he got inspired by someone else using goblins

#

Orc is anglish for goblin

#

He just beefed them up muscle wise and made them more humanoid

summer cedar
#

Inspiration is just another word for copycats.

#

Change stuff enough to say 'unique'.

#

As long as no one has the lawyers and money to sue you, you're fine. 😄

#

Speaking a totally different language also helps, because you can hide behind culture for awhile.

errant raven
#

Cant sue if it isnt your creation

#

Orcs are public domain

#

So is colour

summer cedar
#

Actually, you can sue if you have the means. Whether you have any basis is a different point.

#

I believe they are called frivolous lawsuits or something.

#

Just to waste someone's money.

errant raven
#

That damages your own reputation as well and causes the court system to no longer take you seriously

#

You should watch some slice of life animes

summer cedar
#

If you have the means, you don't give two pennies about your reputation.

#

It usually means, your business is not connected to your rep.

#

I forget the name of that coal guy in the US who sues people for whatever silly reason.

#

He just keeps getting richer every year.

#

He got into a tiff with John Oliver, too. John made like... two episodes?.... about the whole thing.

#

I THINK he was the reason the SLAP suit law came into force there.

errant raven
#

Who published solo leveling

summer cedar
#

no idea

#

probably a Japanese studio.

#

or are you asking about the LN?

errant raven
#

My intuition says kadokawa

#

But I'm not sure

summer cedar
#

oh. It's South Korean.

errant raven
#

Aniplex published it

#

Aniplex is huge

summer cedar
#

KakaoPage published the comic.

#

and D&C Media is involved too

errant raven
#

Blizzard is on a bit of a downfall. Probably wont risk a lawsuit

summer cedar
#

Huh. Interesting

#

A-1 Pictures is the studio for the anime.

#

BUT.....

#

it's licensed by Crunchyroll and SEA: Medialink.

#

What a tangled web of businesses they weave.

errant raven
#

Crunchyroll has the license to stream it

#

That's all they hold over it

summer cedar
#

The webtoon alone has a ton of publishers.

#

And, this is new.

#

There's another spin-off.

#

Solo Levelling: Ragnarok

errant raven
#

Majority of the anime I've been watching were published by kadokawa

summer cedar
#

I didn't know this.... must watch.

#

AND there's a video game.

#

Solo Levelling: Arise

errant raven
#

But they're just publishers, they dont do any of the animating and whatnot. No idea why people were freaking out over thecsomy acquisition

#

Sony themselves are a publisher mostly?

summer cedar
#

they own many studios, too.

#

Sony is a bigwig.

errant raven
#

Sony isnt that badb

summer cedar
#

bigwig is not bad.

#

They are... just big.

#

But they have done some questionable things, mostly due to their corporate culture and not because of any bad intentions.

errant raven
#

They own crunchyroll after all

#

And they published demonslayer

#

Demon slayer is very popular

#

Unlike sword art online

summer cedar
#

SAO was popular, when it was released.

#

It was a long time ago, in anime times.

errant raven
#

Sword art online isn't even bad, it's just another victim of good start and bad ending

summer cedar
#

Demon Slayer is more relatable for the Japanese, because it is directly connected to their myth and culture.

#

SAO was based more on VR tech, which is not something an average person will connect with for long.

#

But, they made TONS of video games and sequels.

#

It just aged and faded, mostly.

errant raven
#

They did VR then AR

summer cedar
#

The game.

errant raven
#

Then back to a better version of VR

#

The gun season was weird for a series called sword art

#

Guns are just swords that spit

summer cedar
#

Probably an attempt to salvage the IP.

#

It did get a season 2, I think.

#

I didn't watch it though.

errant raven
#

It was kinda popular too tho

#

I remember everyone using pfps of the girls in it a lot

#

Now it's just mostly mainstream animes

#

I miss the spice and wolf pfps

summer cedar
#

Okay, Arise seems to be more like Genshin Impact.

#

Not my cup of tea.

errant raven
#

Wheres the original spice and wolf anime from like years and years ago

#

All I see on crunchy roll is a 2022 version and a recent 2024 spinoff

summer cedar
#

Huh.

#

I learned something new.

#

The mouse back and forward buttons work for Discord, too.

#

You can go back and forth between servers (and channels) you recently visited.

#

Cool 😻

errant raven
#

But the spice an wolf problem man 😦

summer cedar
#

aww, they made Arise a gatcha p2w game too.

#

Shame.

#

They could've gone the Elden Ring route. Solo Levelling is apt for that type of game.

#

But, who the heck wants to put in the effort?

errant raven
#

People who just wanna make desperate money using an ip as a safeguard

summer cedar
#

The action is decent though. Like Genshin.

#

Should've put in more effort.

errant raven
#

Genshin combat is garbage mannnn

summer cedar
#

MANY people liked it.

errant raven
#

But its shit

summer cedar
#

It was all many casual gamers talked about for ages, I remember.

errant raven
#

The scaling is the biggest reason why its shit

And Infinite Lagrange is still making tons of money off of rich gamers.

#

You gotta stack crit chance and crit damage on TOP of needing c6 weapons and 5 star characters to even hold a candle to floor 7(?)

#

You have to grind more than you do on wow and poe 2 combined man

#

Dungeon raids cost a daily resource. You can buy more obviously but it's pretty expensive

summer cedar
#

You are hooked by the time you get to all that though.

errant raven
#

I wasnt

summer cedar
#

Which is kind of the point. They make enough money from you by that point.

errant raven
#

It got really boring dying over and over again trying to grind out the proper gear

#

I had zhongli to

#

And yanfei

#

I havent even spent a single cent on that game

summer cedar
#

Path of Exile's aim was to make a good RPG; the money part was secondary, if I remember.

#

They decided on the MTX shop only because they needed to fund development.

#

But the skill trees scare everyone. 😄

errant raven
#

They're huge for no reason

#

Compact it abit man

#

Put the same buffs all on one node and make it max out at the original number of times it was in the tree

summer cedar
#

I doubt they'll change it.

errant raven
#

You still have the flexibility, while being easier to look at

summer cedar
#

It's one of the game's defining features.

Can we at least collectively agree that the cable companies are bad?

errant raven
#

What makes them bad?

mild gust
#

Crazy prices

#

Ofc

#

The limited access to few choices

#

Especially since Rogers is a mess. When it comes to security.

#

Better off with Sony

#

More data breaches = good

errant raven
#

If you're paying for cable when you can spend $40 a month on streaming services, you're the issue. Instead of playing victim and calling things bad, try making smarter decisions

#

But I guess idiots arent capable of that are they

mild gust
#

Your right we should all make our own isps

errant raven

Cable and internet are two different things

I haven't seen Berserk, no.

Lots of useful stuff learned from the three articles I finished reading so far.

I been trying to learn to be a better writer lol

#

Shits rough

#

Been reading stuff like Stephen king

#

and Clive Barker

summer cedar
#

Personally, I prefer to just write what I enjoy (bring my idea to life). I don't care about whether it meets someone's standards as much. Of course, it doesn't mean I accept shitty writing.

#

I discovered a company in India that's been manufacturing sound equipment indigenously since the 70s.

Didn't know about Sonodyne. I love professionally researched news.

#

Hell yeah

summer cedar
#

Apparently, Sonodyne focuses on reducing audio distortion for higher clarity of sound.

#

They turned down many Japanese companies who wanted to collaborate with them, because they knew they could do it themselves and were already exporting to Germany and other countries at that time - 80s.

Do you think I can knock out all of these animes in 2 days 19 hours and 45 minutes

you have used Genelec?

errant raven

1 season is roughly 5 hours, and most are only a single season.

Windy poo 😦 sleeping is a huge waste of time

I've been watching for the past 9 hours and 53 minutes as well

Farm Art, Agricultural Art, and Green Revolution Art are apparently trendy now, in India.

Very interesting to know.

errant raven

Between the last 4 days there was only a total of 48 hours of anime actually watched

Given my 3 day range itll be another 36 hours

India has a ton of independent farmers. Absolutely gobs.

And, good for them, agri programmes have received a boost along with easier credit access, in this year's budget.

#

I am catching up on all the happenings now. LOTS to read.

soft night
#

3d print farmers too

summer cedar
#

That's where the farm art comes in.

#

Apparently, Indians (younger ones) are consuming a lot of modern art, including 3d-printed, photography collages, AI generated, painted, fusions, etc. etc.

Extremely open minded art consumers we have, hrmm.

Oh it's just gonna send a SMS as well

#

@summer cedar the english dub in this anime didnt even bother doing this singing part in english. They just kept the Japanese in and used subtitles crying

summer cedar
#

which singing?

#

the theme song?

errant raven
#

No its apart of the actual anime

#

In how not to summon a demon lord

summer cedar
#

Well, it'd probably be costly to hire a singer.

#

dialogue yappers are cheap.

#

although, you'd be right in suggesting using AI for the singing.

errant raven
#

Never mind it isnt Japanese

#

I switched to sub and it was the same but the voices were clearly different

#

And it used red subtitles instead of white

#

For some reason..?

#

Can I get this loaded up on a disposable Visa gift card instead so I can pay for crunchyroll

summer cedar
#

Thank you, mods.

errant raven
#

Windus you messed up my only chance to pay for crunchyrollllll

summer cedar
#

Raid the anime store.

#

Use a bolter.

#

The village is growing nicely. We have to remove the woods, the stones and ores, and mine the odd gold vein, in order to make enough space for a proper town.

#

The first manufacturing and supply chain has been set up, mostly comprising fur dolls, fancy mirrors, and a precious bead in an ornate chest being sold as souvenirs.

summer cedar
#

A little reorganisation later, the town-factory is well underway. We have shops, adventurers, makeshift hotels, and manufactories.

#

The toughest adventurers are also spawn camping the AI adventurers' spawn point, slaughtering them and farming them for cultivation XP.

hey @proud jay you got any landscaping plans for your place or nah?

Im looking at putting a pond in alongside my firepit, garden, flowerbeds, and LOADS of landscape lighting

Either that, OR the assault option unlocks much later. 🤷

@summer cedar google ai is stupid and it isnt its fault

Appears the people on reddit or wiki havent watched mushoku tensei season 2 at all

summer cedar

I use CoPilot most of the time.

errant raven

It auto gens on every query

summer cedar

You can check the result's sources and find out why it says what it says, if you like.

#

Usually, there's a reason.

errant raven

They're literally talking about getting married right now

In season two

That's the reddit it pulled from

Yeah, the source makes all the difference.

She was the first woman he actually developed a close bond to

summer cedar
#

Niche topics will always get you bad results, simply because the AIs don't have or know the 'right' sources to draw from.

You need to talk to Trump.

Yeah, sylphie just gave her blessing for Rudy to marry Roxy

I know he marries Eris as well too

It's all obvious from the setup of season 1

You have to be a real dumbass to not pickup on a HAREM ROMANCE anime. .-.

I just like romance animes because they have the. est character developments

Luckily theres a bunch of construction nearby

Right. The point hristew was making was, you get the same thing with soaps.

But they sing

summer cedar

no.

errant raven

I cant handle that screeching singing

summer cedar

Watch Bold & The Beautiful

no singing.

white oxide

I get my brick and stone free from major construction sites, get in touch with the GC and get permission to take from the waste piles

That's pretty cool.

Saves a lot of money that way.

Biggest problem im running into is dad starting making a bush art thingy, but before we were going to have a house put in

summer cedar
#

They cut the cost by something like 35%.

white oxide
#

Its smack in the middle of my back yard

#

May need to either convince dad to cut it down or transplant the whole thing

#

Problem is that he used trees not proper bushes to make it

#

So huge roots

summer cedar
#

Just use new saplings and tell your dad to make fresh art with them.

#

Is it an animal art?

white oxide
#

Horse

summer cedar

That's the solution, then.

Started as a living jump for my moms horses, but after she died it got turned into a horse

I suggest conscripting those unemployed artists for this job.

Offer them a biscuit in return.

Get one of those sprayer backpacks and cover these shoots with industrial strength vinegar

Don't push yourself too much.

Take it slow and have fun with it.

white oxide

I want it gone

Theres 99% strength industrial cleaning vinegar...

20x stronger than store stuff

#

Have to likely wait for it to start growing

#

Also probably going to have to try and kill the og batch from down the road...

Though for that... simple fire will do

Now that I think about it, you could also conscript laid off government employees for two biscuits.

Two, because they have standards.

AI Overview

No, Gojo does not date Marin. However, Wakana Gojo is Marin Kitagawa's boyfriend in Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo suru.

#

They dont date but he is her boyfriend, makes sense.

summer cedar
#

I don't know the context, but if it's Japanese, it can make sense.

#

They actually have a no-dating system of carrying on a relationship.

#

Mostly, it's about saving money, but sometimes, they are outdoor-averse and stuff. It sounds silly, but they genuinely have a phobia of socialising.

But again, I don't know the context and the source of this answer.
