you should watch cyberpunk edge runners . this is not the vibe lucy brings LMAOO she’s actually extremely toxic

i get compared to her in a romantic sense way to often but i believe it’s because of two things.

1. i want to leave this soulless city and go far away to be happy
2. i smoke LMFAO

@willow rose here’s a clip

again it’s dated and old, to be considered lots of jokes as it’s an anime.

[willow rose]

the clip is blocked in my country😐

[cobalt vector]

ah yes

that’ll do it

i deleted it to save any bad energy

[cobalt vector]

i guess france said “yeah no”

[narrow copper]

[willow rose]

apparently not, it's FRONTIERWORKS who did that

[cobalt vector]

wym ?

[tender spire]

I got you, bestie

[willow rose]

it's their content apparently

[cobalt vector]

yeah it can be seen as offensive in this day and age

[willow rose]

ah yes. we are all big childs who can't stand this i forgot.

[cobalt vector]

to each their own, but for an anime that make fun of country, america is the very first one so i didn’t mind it

[willow rose]

well i will see that moment on crunchyroll i suppose

[cobalt vector]

LMFAOOO

[cobalt vector]

come back and tell me your thoughts, good or bad, doesn’t matter

[willow rose]

sure. it's honestly a too weird idea to not take a look at it

[cobalt vector]

anime is and forever will be weird , though, it’s not that kind of weird

i’m not some sicko lmaoo

[willow rose]

yeah it looks too wholesome to be that kind of weird. degenerate anime are easy to spot usually

the episodes seems short no?

[jaunty coyote]

@tender spire @coarse burrow găluște cu prune?

Încă nu le-am dat cu pesmet

[coarse burrow]

[cobalt vector]

yeah they are. older animes at the time would do that. it’s short for the laughs and such

[jaunty coyote]

Finished product

[cobalt vector]

ehhh, looks can be deceiving hehe i just like how they portrayed america. it’s quite funny

https://tenor.com/view/hetalia-america-alfred-alfred-f-jones-gif-14882405542952920691

[willow rose]

you mean the comedy anime? hum I'm not that sure

[coarse burrow]

oh boy they look good

[cobalt vector]

i mean some indie ones yeah

[willow rose]

well it will be even easier to see everything

[cobalt vector]

that’s true

also, you don’t have to sit for days watching an anime

[willow rose]

that's why i prefer to read

[cobalt vector]

yeahhh but animes are soo good too

[jaunty coyote]

Ai pe cineva care sa iti facă?

Sincer, știai ca se fac cu pure din cartofi?

[willow rose]

well the last one i watch was Jojo's so i kinda agree they are still good

[cobalt vector]

you gotta watch baka and test

[willow rose]

baka to test? never managed to like it as far as i remember

my friends did i didn't👀

really?! i found it stupid and hilarious.

Pics taken tonight

[cobalt vector]

that’s true

[willow rose]

episode 2 : france on strike. Yup that's us

[cobalt vector]

LMFAOOOO

[cobalt vector]

how are you liking it?

[willow rose]

pro tip about that : train's strike are practically always done during vacancy period

[willow rose]

well the clichés for the countries are currently on point

[cobalt vector]

i love this. it encourages fact checking and i get to learn more about other countries at the same time. there’s historic context but it’s a show so it’s never accurate

[cobalt vector]

this is why it’s controversial btw

[willow rose]

if it's the reason then it's really dumb

as french if they say we are the country of the strike we are going to have a smug smile

[cobalt vector]

i mean i get it but i also disagree with it. i feel like i can watch this with any european friend and they’ll be like “pause, so not really butttt” so i like that it can cause conversation starts

but trying to get information on countries through an anime solely is pretty silly

[willow rose]

It's a comedy after all so you are not supposed to take it seriously. But of course if they say france is a coward i will burn down the studio naturally

[cobalt vector]

LMFAOOO

to be fair, every country gets cooked i mean look at america

[willow rose]

yes they starting hard with america

[cobalt vector]

LMFAOO as always

[willow rose]

after two bombw i would do the same. and even worse👀

[cobalt vector]

i mean thatll do it for sure lmfaoo

[willow rose]

wow they are pretty chill with china ctually

[cobalt vector]

you peeped russia ?

they made them nice but scary mannnnnnnnnn

[willow rose]

not yet but i won't say what you writed surprise me👀

[cobalt vector]

oh i mean first episode

[willow rose]

ah it was russia? i don't know why the translator write america so i assumed it was canada instead

[cobalt vector]

oh no i think we confused it

[willow rose]

it was indeed russia

[cobalt vector]

i wont lie alot of the anime i dont fully understand and thats my fault for not doing the research

[willow rose]

the best way to know the jokes about the countries is to have a feed on twitter full of nationalists👀. they make the best and worst jokes about they're country and the other country aswell

[cobalt vector]

i dont have this lmaoo my feed is only anime, forest and cute stuff so that makes sense for me

[willow rose]

in a way that's for the best since that can be pretty toxic really fast

but that's normal with that kind of subject

[cobalt vector]

i can imagine

[willow rose]

it can be rough yes. fortunally it's mostly only on twitter

[cobalt vector]

yeah, i stay away from that stuff tbh even with hetalia ive only seen the first few episodes of it so im lost after like episode 3 lmfao

its important to moderate consumption of certain things tbh

though i hope you enjoy your night or day !

[willow rose]

ahahah need to work on the history department for your understanding of the world. it's pretty fun actually

well good evening/night for you i suppose?

Quick Question: the events galactic reform and heavenly revelations end at 08/06 or 07- like does it mean it will be gone?

Yall must be kidding if I lose the tessa’s ear accessory over being late by a week 😭

3300/3500

The astral coins expire a week later i.e after the heavenly revelations get over

How does that work- does it mean we cannot gain the refreshes any longer?

I’m a new player to naraka- sorry if I’m misinformed

[sour bane]

I didn’t even know you could rack up more points by upgrading the jades to epic and legendary until I joined this server 😭

[tulip stream]

Yeah they will be gone

Sorry for the tags-

Sadly I’m Xbox so I can’t

[sour bane]

[tulip stream]

The part where you submit them?

[sour bane]

No like- the area where u can req other people for jades

Its blank

[tulip stream]

Ohh they need to be PlayStation

[sour bane]

OH.

Is it allowed of me to ask around for jades- by ask I mean beg atp

[tulip stream]

You can try asking of any PlayStation players can gift them in #🎮┃console-chat

No you can ask dw

There have been others asking as well ❤️

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMKfr20_KLY

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cv8Y1a2-06c

i will start with that to prevent spamming

[hexed thistle]

This was one of the things to do in one of Discord's events and I also searched for a long time before finding a single chariot, as I was unlucky.
Apparently, it appears randomly on all maps in Survival Mode. You can search for it in Bot Mode, it doesn't have to be in Ranked Mode.
Look out for it and listen to hear sounds of horses. Good luck.

As for terracotta warriors, they're always on Perdoria's map in and around Imperium by default and interacting with standard ones seemed to complete my in-game mission. Additionally, single ones appeared on other maps, glowing blue. It's easy to spot them because they aren't normally on other maps (Morus, Holoroth), so they stand out.

[violet hull]

i found it, but for some reason the reward was not showing up in my inventory ty for the help

[cobalt vector]

i love 80s music let me give it a listen

[willow rose]

i currently forcing myself to not send you some music from the game because you need to hear it in the game

[willow rose]

like the previous music you send it's really nice

[jaunty coyote]

Best experience ngl

The game is so beautiful

[willow rose]

Yes that's why i say nothing more about the game. to prevent spoilers. the magic of the discovery is important for this one

[jaunty coyote]

Which part are you at?

I’m stuck under the Dead Sea, I got Maelle, Gustave and Lune.

Really beautiful game, been playing for 3 days now, and I want to finish it before I got back to the army

[willow rose]

finished during june

[willow rose]

finished at 100% you need 60h i think

[jaunty coyote]

Could you help me out if I hop on vc around this time tomorrow?

[willow rose]

hum not really since what you learn is first : getting use to dodge and after that being parry potter

but if you have time at least learn asap to dodge it's essential

[jaunty coyote]

I know that, that’s easy, but I’m stuck at a checkpoint, and the game sint being really helpful

Ive been running in circles

[willow rose]

ah?

[jaunty coyote]

difficile de ne pas jurer

[jaunty coyote]

I’ve been stuck for 4 hours Zantri!

[willow rose]

you are in the second zone?

[jaunty coyote]

Think I’m at the third

I Got past the forest

[willow rose]

weird. i never gotten stuck in the game

[jaunty coyote]

I’m under the water now

I freed Maelle

[willow rose]

you are in the second one i see

[jaunty coyote]

Oh is that it?

Ok, apologies

[willow rose]

i'm surprised that you are stuck here. it's pretty straightforward for me

[jaunty coyote]

😅 my sense of direction is bad

[willow rose]

just in case send to me a screenshot

[jaunty coyote]

In the army we are thought to go after instructions by the leader.

[willow rose]

i'm afraid of your fate in the real third zone then lmao

[jaunty coyote]

Is it that bad?

I love a challenge.

Game is gorgeous, and I love French and French people.

I’m not giving up

[jaunty coyote]

Thank you

https://tenor.com/view/loveyou-ted-teddybear-kiss-blowkiss-gif-16881826811022866158

[willow rose]

no initiative? tactically at our day and age that is weird

[jaunty coyote]

Ok get this, if we go out shopping, and Im being left on a bench, I have no idea where to go

That’s just an example

[willow rose]

okay i see

that mean you will have to learn to deplay your wings at the same time👀

but when you feel like it send a screenshot where you are lost

[hexed thistle]

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33?

[willow rose]

indeed

[hexed thistle]

Plot-wise, the game has very poorly done conclusions and endings, despite great potential the story had. But visually, it's quite decent.

[willow rose]

why you think that?

[hexed thistle]

I would have to spoil everything about endings. 🙂

[willow rose]

yeah better on pm

for me the endings are good just... not what we hoped for

[hexed thistle]

No, it's fine. Beside spoilers, it's also a matter of taste, so I don't know if it's worth discussing, doesn't matter if here or in private messages. I saw a few people on Reddit writing about it quite sensibly, so you can read about it there.

[willow rose]

true

[hexed thistle]

If we were to treat it as a book, it was just badly planned and concluded. As if the author lacked imagination or flair to wrap things up better.
But rumors were that the game was made by people who had left Ubisoft and they seem to have a reputation for delivering lousy endings to game stories, so perhaps it's no surprise.

[willow rose]

you really feel like that? because i don't at all

[hexed thistle]

I do.

[willow rose]

what did you expected?

[hexed thistle]

I never expect anything. I observe how every story anywhere is resolved by the author or authors.

Sometimes it's fun to theorize, but I think it's pointless to expect anything in particular if you don't know what to expect.

[willow rose]

okay. i find the ends pretty logical seeing the rest of the story

[cobalt vector]

please don’t, i really do like sound in game

[willow rose]

worry not i won't, i exaggerate

[cobalt vector]

it’s from my favorite stop motion, it’s in french and it’s on all my playlist, i wanted to share it with you

[willow rose]

Then thanks a lot for that

[cobalt vector]

i like this one a lot

[cobalt vector]

i trust your judgment a lot Faruviel and i’m even more interested to finish it. i’m morbidly curious if you’re correct. i myself hate poor endings especially if the book or story is so rich.

[cobalt vector]

haihai! i always ask for music no matter the language barrier just so i can be able to share a song from their culture/country that i resonate with. not to sound sappy, but music is truly the universe’s language.

[willow rose]

i agree with that

[hexed thistle]

Trust your own judgment above all, because you play to please yourself, not me. 🙂

[cobalt vector]

i believe this too, you’re a good book recommendation. it is out of respect to consider your opinion as well.

[cobalt vector]

https://tenor.com/view/aimoto-rinku-listening-to-music-anime-eyes-closed-headphone-gif-26543500

[hexed thistle]

As I wrote earlier, I've seen threads on Reddit where people were quite sensibly discussing why the endings are truly bad and could be done much better, for logical reasons. Both of you can also try to find them and read them if you'd like.
I don't have the link, so I can't link it right away. I would have to look for it myself again too.

[willow rose]

talking about that : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMg-u6HEU68

[jaunty coyote]

This is my favorite

[jaunty coyote]

So much I had my friend put this song on the video tape he took of me crashing into a tree

[hexed thistle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jn7NutK4i9g&list=PL7A192A5A7C748BE3&index=10

[willow rose]

which country is it from?

[hexed thistle]

Krzesimir Dębski is a Pole. It's Polish music.

[willow rose]

dunno if i will go on redit. i'm not really a fan of this site

[hexed thistle]

I'm not a fan either, but there's nothing wrong with going there just from time to time. 🙂

[willow rose]

oh i see now. having hard time seeing the accent so i wasn't sure

[hexed thistle]

It should appear on google from searching for the topic.

[hexed thistle]

Well, the song I linked doesn't have words. 😄 So I don't know what you mean about an accent. Do you mean Polish alphabet?

[willow rose]

we'll see. in a way it's interesting to see the other side of the coin even if it's painful

[hexed thistle]

Is looking at Reddit painful to you? 🙂 It isn't so dramatic, at least for me.

[willow rose]

no i mean seeing someone destroying what you like

not really a nice experience most of the time

[hexed thistle]

?

[willow rose]

i don't know how to explain in english

to make myself clear

[hexed thistle]

I don't know what you're talking about now, so I can't help with that.

I'm personally not a fan of reddit, but I also don't hate it. It's neutral to me.
Sometimes talks on reddit show on Google in searches and sometimes there is something interesting there, so it's worth looking up, but naturally not always.

[cobalt vector]

thank you so much! i’m listening to it now

[hexed thistle]

It's Slavic type of music.

[cobalt vector]

the one you sent is peaceful. i will add it to my personal tbc playlist.

[willow rose]

i'm not talking about the site but about the idea of going to read people who didn't like what you liked

[hexed thistle]

There is nothing painful about it.
On the contrary, it's very interesting and expanding horizons, reading different opinions on the same topic. This is what discussions are for.

[cobalt vector]

https://open.spotify.com/track/4VVQJIrfFjCKUbtUtktQMr?si=_g-CFtAbTaSphmEf0BqutQ

i like this one

[hexed thistle]

For your own mental health you should learn assertiveness and control of emotions if private opinions of others are painful to you.
Emotions and opinions of others in no way can influence your own emotions and opinions, unless you let them by your own volition.

[cobalt vector]

i’m listening to the album now. it is majestic to listen too a touch of whimsical and security.

[hexed thistle]

I like this one too.

You can watch the movie if you want, though I don't know where one with subtitles might be.

[willow rose]

let's not exagerate, i'm not THAT bad at controling my emotions

[cobalt vector]

hmm, i shall see. for now, i do love the music. ive replayed one.

[hexed thistle]

If you're even a little bad, it can be better. 🙂
It shouldn't be painful to read anything if that's what you meant earlier.

[willow rose]

well instead of painful i should i've said uneasy? honestly i have sometimes hard times to correctly express myself in english

[hexed thistle]

It shouldn't make you feel uneasy too.

And "destroying what you like" is too intensive expression if it's only about something someone else thinks and feels.
It can't destroy what you like or not like.

[willow rose]

that was an hyperbole to be honest

[hexed thistle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9zSzEaLVpQ&list=RDF9zSzEaLVpQ&start_radio=1
I think this one was missing on the earlier playlist, it's from the same movie too.

[willow rose]

as for this i don't know what i can say. always feeled like that for me that normal in my weirdness

[hexed thistle]

You decide what is normal for you and what isn't. I won't help you by force and I don't intend to, so don't worry about that. 🙂

[cobalt vector]

no this is this one .. i can be wrong though?

https://open.spotify.com/track/6FvDWxXfw1TNAtBCBkqbtr?si=OAR2HociTUGN9XSo5GQq3w

i like this one a lot

[willow rose]

where are you from if not indiscrete? Maybe it's also a cultural difference

[cobalt vector]

i searched the name on spotify and found the completed playlist

[hexed thistle]

I see, I don't use Spotify, so I don't know if the list is complete on Spotify or not.

I meant it wasn't complete on Youtube.

[cobalt vector]

i shall send it

[hexed thistle]

I think it's obvious that I'm a Pole, since I'm linking Polish music. 🙂 I also have my language in my roles on Discord.

[hexed thistle]

It should be "Pogrzeb Wisza", not "Pogrzeb Wikingów". 😄

Well, nevermind if the song is the right one.
Chram (Slavic shrine) and Gusła (divinations) are similar to each other. I mean in terms of sound, musical theme.

[willow rose]

I have guessed but still i prefer a real confirmation ahah

oh yeah i tend to forgot we have that

[cobalt vector]

ahh i see, does the spelling change it at all?

[hexed thistle]

Pogrzeb Wikingów = funeral of Vikings
Pogrzeb Wisza = funeral of a man with this first name - Wisz
He was the village's leader if I remember correctly. He was a Pole, not a Viking at all.

[cobalt vector]

i do not like that persoanlly. if the song has a title the name should not be changed at all even if it is being translated. america changes a lot in an attempt to rewrite and reconstruct. so i appericate you telling me the accurate translation and meaning.

[hexed thistle]

But it isn't translated. It's written in Polish. Someone just wrote the wrong name, I suppose.

Mistakes like that happen sometimes.

[cobalt vector]

i still stand by it even if it was a mistake. theres a difference between the polish word for a reason

[hexed thistle]

Yes, someone twisted whose funeral it was. 🙂

Maybe it was a Pole, maybe someone from another country. I don't know.

"Wikingi" should be "Atak Wikingów" too. Or at least "Wikingowie", it's more gramatically proper than "Wikingi". This is a colloquial variety to the plural, not formal. So maybe it wasn't a Pole doing that or it was a Pole with a bad grammar or linguistic abilities in general. 😄

[hexed thistle]

And when it comes to other more famous music from Krzesimir Dębski, for example he had a very nice polonaise of Hussars (polonez Husarii).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZKliJgxUTI&list=RDqZKliJgxUTI&start_radio=1

[willow rose]

the famous winged hussard

[hexed thistle]

yes

[willow rose]

it's true that in USA every foreign thing is turned american

[cobalt vector]

10000000%%%%

[hexed thistle]

Polonaise is our old Polish-Lithuanian national dance and type of music, that's why it's named after us.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANhZ9Gizc8Y
People still dance it at some official occasions if they want to.

[willow rose]

one of the reasons why the american have the reputation to be really bad at culture. it a shame truly, but i think it's done on purpose

[willow rose]

it's true that long ago it was poland-lituania. But Poland never had nice neighbors

[hexed thistle]

Nobody had nice neighbors. We were not a nice neighbor either. 😄 The competition was between all countries and still is the same as we all see, whoever didn't manage to survive was lost.

I personally like polonaises from Pan Tadeusz and Ogiński's too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rB-VBCNUdE&list=RD_rB-VBCNUdE&start_radio=1
But I think that among all polonaises, heroic Chopin's polonaise is probably one of the best. Chopin (Szopen) was a talented pianist, he had a French father.
I recommend specifically in this performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0olrJAmX60&list=RDm0olrJAmX60&start_radio=1

[willow rose]

for sure but it was even rougher compared to us

[hexed thistle]

It isn't better now. There were better times, actually.

[willow rose]

for sure

[hexed thistle]

Don't make me go here to the topic of what is going on in Poland and very close to us, moderators won't like that. 😄

[willow rose]

👀

only wanted to mention past stories

but yeah... that too

anyway no more

[hexed thistle]

The present results from the past and there are replays from history at least once every century.

It isn't any different now than it was just in the previous century. 🙂

[willow rose]

the nuke add something spicier to be fair

but i agree with that. especially since germany start wanting more weapons. I have a weird feeling of déjà vu" as a french 👀

[hexed thistle]

No one dropped atomic bombs on us here so far in history, but everything is possible at any time.
There was pollution from the nuclear power plant that broke out instead. And this can also happen again, even in a worse version. Even more so because wars constantly threatens at least a few atomic power plants. We were close to it a few times during last few years.

Germany is very right with wanting more weapons.

[willow rose]

true but still. don't like that especially since the francophobia still kicks in in germany. Anyway there is nothing i can't do about it

[hexed thistle]

Germany didn't do anything bad this time so far. It's strange you're worried about them, instead of about the only current aggressor - Russia.
Germans have at least somewhat answered for what they were doing in the previous century. Although some believe it wasn't enough. Russia never answered for that and was even rewarded instead of getting punished, got away with everything and now another war is raging for years.
This is an inconvenient truth for some, but it's important.
As I wrote earlier, if moderators want to block me for this, they're free to do so, even without warning. Getting banned on Discord is insignificant compared to what happens every day lately.

[willow rose]

we got invaded by germany 3 times. not by Russia that's why

but i do understand your point of view since you share border with them and the cold war

and many other things. like we do in France with germany

[hexed thistle]

Be glad Russians never got that far, because French would have found out that Russians were even worse than Germans.
Napoleon somewhat found out the hard way.

We were under German-Russian-Austrian 3 partitions occupation for 123 years. Then World War I, then the interwar period when we were fighting with Russians too, then World War II. And then communism until the 90s, so another occupation, but this time only by Russia.

[willow rose]

honestly with all the atrocities they done to us i can't say i agree. But i won't diminish what happened in the east front

[willow rose]

yes Napoleon even tried to revive your country

[hexed thistle]

Yes, many people believed in him, but that was the naivety of some of the nobility. Napoleon used part of our army for his own purposes and then ignored us. That was all there was to it.

This is perceived after the fact as taking advantage of us and then as betrayal.

[willow rose]

ah yes : politic as usual

i don't know much so i will believe your judgement on that

[hexed thistle]

Of course, it's also partly the fault of those who naively believed that Napoleon was capable of performing a miracle or would try to do so for our nation and country without benefiting himself. They just wouldn't believe in something like that if they would be wiser.

Polish soldiers were sent, among other places, to suppress a rebellion in the French colony of Haiti. This is an interesting story, because after arriving there and seeing the situation... instead of helping the French, they sided with the locals. We had no colonies, we weren't among colonist countries and generally held a negative attitude towards the blatant slavery and racial discrimination. There were people of various races and religions in Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. We weren't that religious nor racial and weren't massacring people just for that. Otherwise, there wouldn't be as many Jews as there were here in the past.
Some soldiers returned, but many of them remained there and started their own families. We were awarded the title of "Negroes of Europe" as a nation.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_Haitians

[willow rose]

Haiti?! okay that's really weird... i will take a look to that

[hexed thistle]

Yes, people with mixed Haiti-Polish race / ancestry still live in Haiti to this day.

[willow rose]

that's interesting indeed. and quite what the fuck. but we have chineses who are descendant of roman legionnaires so why not

[hexed thistle]

But it easily gets forgotten, it was already long ago and many thing were happening in the meantime, both there and here.

[willow rose]

yeah a little story in the big one

[hexed thistle]

I hope you understand that whatever Germans did, Russians did it too. And more.
Right before and at the beginning of II world war, they were official partners, diving countries for themselves. But both sides were greedy and wanted more, so after some time and first years they stopped their cooperation and started fighting each other too.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molotov–Ribbentrop_Pact
After the war, it was all swept under the rug. They were lucky to end up on the winning side and Stalin used it to the max.

[willow rose]

oh yes. i'm aware of that

[willow rose]

yes all the iron curtain thing. the only weakness that time was berlin

[hexed thistle]

The fact that the French didn't help us during World War II, despite the previous agreements, is also considered by us as our naivety and the French's betrayal to us. This also applies to the British and Americans, especially regarding the talks at Yalta, etc.

Of course, historians now argue whether the French were able or not to help, but the fact and the feelings of the people at that time remain.

[willow rose]

that i swear... our governement never wanted to move without the british. they did that with the czechs. But to defend them a little it's because of all the diplomatic isolation we had after WWI in favor of the german

[hexed thistle]

Yes, I get it. But citizens are responsible for actions of their government, even if it isn't their fault.
Our government fled the country, but people stayed and were fighting and dying. People were also organizing themselves without the high-ups.
In the first place, we would never have regained independence after 123 years if it had depended solely on our government. Our government is usually weak and stupid throughout our whole history. And we would fail with every next obstacles too. The people from the low hierarchy made this happen together.

Polish pilots fought in Great Britain for the freedom of the British people too and had very good results, but they weren't even properly honored for it.

[willow rose]

yes and no. but i see what you mean and i agree with the last statement

[willow rose]

only churchill really cared about it from what i read about

[hexed thistle]

It doesn't seem Churchill cared about us. He pretended for some time and later didn't even pretend more. He cared only about his own country, from his perspective it's entirely logical, of course.

[hexed thistle]

We truly had great solidarity among people, but unfortunately, communism killed the significant rest of it in our nation, because it broke and finished the rest of the people who managed to survive after all wars and were good role models. It's worse here now than it was earlier in the previous century in many aspects.

[willow rose]

I think it's common thing in occident these days, the method used is not the same but the result is the same

[hexed thistle]

It's true that things are currently similarly bad in many countries when it comes to solidarity and initiative of ordinary people.
In some countries this has always been the case, in some it's been this way sometimes and in some it was different before. Unfortunately, it isn't something that can be easily fixed in the society once it's destroyed.

People in Poland considered French people cowards and traitors because they were doing things themselves, without the help from the government and anywhere, while French people didn't have courage and determination to do as much / the same themselves at that time. That's what I meant.
This is, of course, a general assessment and isn't fair to everyone, but that's how it looked in general in case of majorities.

In France, ordinary people were able to rebel by their own initiative and dethrone the royal power in earlier history, although there are surely different opinions on whether this was entirely right, whether it could have been done differently and whether the result was a better reality or a worse reality for France.

In Poland, there are discussions, for example, that the Warsaw Uprising could have been carried out much better. But it's still celebrated every year anyway. The last anniversary was not long ago.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzeNBRbWXpI&list=RDlzeNBRbWXpI&start_radio=1 Warsaw Uprising
Sabaton is a Scandinavian band, by the way. 😄 They have a lot of songs about history of Europe.

[willow rose]

It is isn't fair. But atleast you have a good reason to say that. On a contrary of a certain country.
And yup i know Sabaton very well for sure! Even see them at a concert

[hexed thistle]

I wasn't at their any concert, but my husband likes some of their songs and listens to them from time to time. I think they're okay too. Just the melody is too similar for too many of them. Every song from this band sound similar. 😄

[willow rose]

yeah i kinda agree on that 😅

for the metal scene i switched to powerwolf. a bit less historic but they did for several songs actually

one is about teh beats of gévaudan(france) and Jeanne d'Arc. another is about a trial for lycanthropia in the holy roman empire

[hexed thistle]

Joanna d'Arc is definitely an interesting figure from French history.

Also related to your bad relations with Britain many times in the past. 🙂 Well, bad is a light word for that.

[willow rose]

a peculiar one but essential for our national story and our desire of sovereignty

if you don't know them really try powerwolf. excellent especially on concert(also the singer speak french so he can sing that way for a song too. No need to say we love that)

[willow rose]

Oh yes the perfidious Albion is by far our best enemy. Always make our country better thanks to this old rivalry

and despite everything bad happened "thanks" to them

[hexed thistle]

Oh, you were calling Britain Albion in the past? I didn't know. We all can learn something new our whole lives. 🙂

Or is only England Albion, without Wales, Scotland and Ireland?

[willow rose]

Albion is the old way to say it. I think it's coming from around the roman empire and before

is like the german who say Frankreich (Frank kingdom) for us

[willow rose]

i'm not sure about that

maybe the whole but i can't confirm

[hexed thistle]

Yes, I understand.
Well, England was made out of people and royalty of germanic descent. In comparison to the rest, they were Celts, etc.

Scotland still doesn't quite view itself as a part of UK and Britain. 🙂

Ireland has only a small northern part of itself in UK.

[willow rose]

it's more recent since before it was mainly french and viking when all the chaos started

[willow rose]

they have like ireland... a lot of grudge to say the least👀

[hexed thistle]

Scotland and Ireland had direct relations to Vikings, Wales was the most Celtic, England was taken over by so-called Anglo-Saxons.

[willow rose]

i should have said ealier the global chaos started. It was really chaotic already before that is true

[hexed thistle]

We were Lachy, Lachowie, Lechici. Unlike Lithuanians, Ruthenians, Tatars, Mongolians, Jews and so on.
The name came from the well-known myth of Lech, Czech and Rus.

[willow rose]

which is kinda weird for an isle where it's raining 80% of the time and it's foggy the rest

[hexed thistle]

What is weird? Weather tend to be difficult in the whole Scandinavia too. 🙂

[willow rose]

didn't know the first name. but i'm ignorant of a lot of things

[hexed thistle]

Those are 3 versions of the same name.

Every country basically has their own spelling.

[willow rose]

yeah but the saxons? well they are german so weirder than the rest 👀

[willow rose]

ah same "root"

[hexed thistle]

England's people are from germanic roots.

But not Wales, Scotland and Ireland's people. That's why they still consider themselves to be separate, even being in the same country.

[willow rose]

yes it's esaely proved with the language

[hexed thistle]

Yes, English belongs to the germanic family of languages.

[willow rose]

it's also thank to the way british treated them

[willow rose]

yup

[hexed thistle]

English became very latin with time, though. Old English was very different.
Celtic languages have their own language tree.

[willow rose]

we possess some celtic remains with the brittons

[willow rose]

thanks to the influence with France. You are aware that the king of England was for a long time vassal of the king of France. Funny anecdote linked to that :

Richard coeur de lion (lionheart) spend most of his time in Aquitaine and he is even huried here. only spend month in England depsite being a legendary king in egland

[hexed thistle]

They have many French words for those reasons too. But they latinized themselves for many reasons, also personal ones.

Maybe they also wanted to be more original and less german. I wouldn't say modern English resembles modern Deutsch very much.

But the language is very chaotic because of so many influences from so many languages. 😄 All colonies probably added to that too.

[willow rose]

it's mostly influenced by their ancient territory. the part of the Plantagenet in france was huge for a long time

[willow rose]

way too true

[willow rose]

thank god they given up on some absurd german words

[hexed thistle]

I guess it could be said that France's enemies in history were germanic, from both sides on the map, if we think about it this way. 😄

[willow rose]

that's why i call the german our worst enemy

[hexed thistle]

😄

[willow rose]

strangely enough England never searched to destroy us unlike the german, it's been like that even before the Hasburg

[hexed thistle]

Maybe English were masochists and liked to have you as a neighbor, even as an enemy. 😄

[willow rose]

i wouldn't be surprised. those are weird cousins

[hexed thistle]

By the way, before I forget, Allo Allo sitcom used to be popular in Poland in TV. 🙂 I know it's British, but it was about France.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/'Allo_'Allo!

I adore all old comedies of Louis de Funès, he was a great actor.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_de_Funès

[willow rose]

never heard of it. The only thing i know you watched in poland was about asterix and louis de funès ahah

[willow rose]

yeah exactly what i say ahahah

[hexed thistle]

Haha, yes.

[willow rose]

one of the rare actor you can understand without him talking

[hexed thistle]

Asterix and Obelix were very popular too, but I have to say that it was rather because our Polish dubbing for it was excellent. 🙂
So it was less about the original movies themselves and more about the Polish writer and voice actors.
But faces of those actors are well-known.

Even before movies, it was popular as a comic, though not as much as movies.

[willow rose]

ah? i always heard that polish dub were horrible

like text to speech kinda thing

[hexed thistle]

That's lektor and it's much better than most dubbings - voice acting for many movies. If someone doesn't want to read. You can still hear voices of the original actors.

While dubbings exchange original voices with voice actors voices. And it's often done badly.

[willow rose]

it's weird for us since we have a culture of dubbing

we have flaws of course but it's way rarer

[hexed thistle]

We had some exceptions to the rule, like mentioned Asterix and Obelix for example. It was a dubbing and a great one, one of the best.

It was also a golden time for a few main writers and translators / adaptators.

[willow rose]

interesting

about that astérix and obélix : you know the easter egg about them in the witcher 3?

[hexed thistle]

So voices of actors from Asterix and Obelix aren't know, just their faces.
In case of Louis de Funes, his real voice, what he was originally saying and face is known. It was lektor. 🙂

[willow rose]

okay i see

[hexed thistle]

Hmm, what and where exactly do you mean? I can help if you write something more. Nothing comes to my mind right away. There are so many references in the Witcher to EVERYTHING, that it's hard to think about just one thing. 😄

Toussaint is a land in Wiedźmin, which refers to both France and Italy, Spain, but more to France, I guess.

[willow rose]

it's a side quest who is an huge reference to "les douze travaux" la maison qui rend fou with the legendary laissez passer A38

sorry i can say that only in french

but Geralt must have the the document A38 too to prove he isn't dead and reclaim his bank account

[hexed thistle]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labours_of_Hercules ?

[willow rose]

this one yes

[hexed thistle]

But it's a reference directly to Greece, not France. 🙂

We have a lot of references to Greek in our history and language.

And their mythology. Also to Romans (Rzym).

[willow rose]

well the film is a parody of that

but this segment is a parody of the french administration

[hexed thistle]

Which film? You mean a cinematic in the Witcher or are you back to Asterix and Obelix?

[willow rose]

i re explain :

In the game the witcher 3 there is a side quest about the film the twelves labor of asterix

[hexed thistle]

You mean that, right?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXE2xUJgEXg

[willow rose]

on point

[hexed thistle]

I guessed easily, but it's because it's a memical video in Poland too. Again, our dubbing. And our modern administrations is exactly the same. 😄

[willow rose]

it's one of the most emblematic sketch from asterix. almost everyon in france know this segment because the parody is perfect

[hexed thistle]

Yes, it fits Poland too. It's well-know here too.

[willow rose]

administration is a living hell i swear

and apparently the worst of all is the japanese one

i don't want to imagine that

[hexed thistle]

I don't remember where in the Witcher they could reference to that, but maybe there were just referencing our administrative system and it's just similar to that Asterix and Obelix fragment. 🙂

Witcher should by played in Polish, by the way. English subtitles can be turned on. English dubbing is really much worse.
I don't know if there is a French one, but if there is, I don't think it will be much better. It just can't be transfered properly to other languages.
It's the opposite in Cyberpunk. English is the main language for that game.

[willow rose]

i missed the chance to do it and yeah, french for all game is avaiable

[hexed thistle]

Play it in Polish with French subtitles if you will have a chance.

[willow rose]

and talking about avaiable i need to not be avaiable lol. it's running way too late👀

[willow rose]

hum... if i ever do a rerun of the trilogy i will

[hexed thistle]

Toussaint is a whole big reference to mainly France. Most characters speak there with stereotypical French accent in Polish and in a French way. 😄
But it has references to Spain or Italy too.

[hexed thistle]

Sorry if I kept you for longer, rest and have a good night. 🙂

[willow rose]

Toussaint is a depiction of provence and the south of france in general that's why

[hexed thistle]

yes

[willow rose]

No need to be sorry it was enjoyable

otherwise i would have ghosted you straight👀

[hexed thistle]

Let's hope moderators won't be angry at us in the morning for speaking about controversial topics. 😄

[willow rose]

well.. seeing our talk and how many times we talked, they might be a chance they don't like it

[hexed thistle]

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocorico_(film)
By the way 2, I have seen this movie in this year with my husband's family. A great French comedy. I recommend if you haven't seen it yet.
We didn't expect much from it, as from most latest movies, but it was funny.

[willow rose]

but we were nice to each other so that should be good i think

[willow rose]

hum well currently we are saturated by the same type of french comedy so most of the films are ignored

even with christian clavier that said a lot

[hexed thistle]

I know he's a popular actor. Is he taking part in too many movies? 🙂

I understand that it can get boring. That movie was fun, though. The concept with genetic tests was funny.

[willow rose]

well he is pretty present but the problem is all movies are the same "bourgeois" bulls... we are tired to

of course i don't say that to minimise the fact you liked the movie. more likey to make you understand if you see french sigh when you talk about current french film👀

but for you i will take a try ahah

[hexed thistle]

No, no, I don't mind. I personally meant that we have a rather bad opinion about most newer movies from the West, older movies are generally liked and still going on in TV on holidays, etc., but this one film surprised us positively. Of course, you or someone else does not have to have the same opinion.
There are probably more of the same films in France again and again, but only few of them are translated into other languages, especially into such as Polish.

[willow rose]

You know what? we should talk about it next time. I'm really curious how movies are made in Poland because us it's peculiar

[hexed thistle]

I don't know any newer Polish movie that would be worth any attention. We had better cinematography in the past.

[willow rose]

it's more about how they are made. to see if there is similarity

[hexed thistle]

Though, if you were interested in series, surprisingly a pretty good comedy series appeared on Netflix not long ago - 1670.
It was made by an initiative of several private creators, who had a good idea and can write good comedy.
Surprisingly, because it's Netflix.

[willow rose]

and more importantly : the origin iof the financement

[willow rose]

Netflix can be surprising. a new series of asterix is back here

didn't see it since i don't have netflix but apparently it's good

Of course we won't mention the existence of the witcher netflix

[hexed thistle]

The government usually paid, more of less, for mainly historical films and it still does it sometimes, but the latest films are usually badly done. Sometimes even more, the more government was mixed up in it.

[willow rose]

there is a first difference between our two countries

[hexed thistle]

But they never pay the full amount / costs, they are only one of the sponsors.

[willow rose]

but it's late. and we will finsih this discussion aroun 5am ahah

[hexed thistle]

I'm a night owl, but do go if you need to. 🙂
We can talk another time.

[willow rose]

with pleasure truly. have a good night, it was a long and cool exchange

[tulip stream]

@hexed thistle @willow rose Hi guys I’m aware the conversation has finished however I am just seeing this now, while I appreciate that this was a calm and more so educational discussion I have to ask that you please avoid discussing topics related to war, politics, governments etc as they can be sensitive topics and do as such break the server rules. Thank you both ^^

[hexed thistle]

Thank you too I guess, for reacting calmly, but I will write again that I think talking about difficult and deeper topics is much more interesting, important, educational as mentioned and needed among average people than talking about trivial matters and nothing else all the time.
I wouldn't feel the need to write about it otherwise, because it would be a waste of a lot of time and space.
I personally think reacting too strongly to such discussions should be reconsidered, at least on extra-yap channel, which seems to be for everything that doesn't fit anywhere else.
From cats and rabbits alone, the brain becomes shallow over time.
It should be enough to be civilized and polite, not take things too personally and emotionally.
These are topics and issues that elementary school or even kindergarten children know about.
It isn't racism or discrimination or something to be offended about to state how it was and is in every country or how different countries saw it.
Excessive fear of people's sensitivities harms mental health of sensitive people the most. And this applies to adults too, not just minors.
What I wrote is still very light and not much in comparison to what could be written. But cursing and offending on purpose, especially without foundation or pointless, isn't my cup of tea. I take no pleasure in it and it doesn't interest me.

Moreover, the game itself has historical, political themes, religions, wars, killing, tortures and so on (related in obvious ways to real-life / real-world equivalents). Considering some shamelessly revealing female outfits too, I can't see how Naraka isn't made for mainly adult males in mind, not general early teens audience.
Assuming it's made for people of all ages (that's how I treated 12+ movies or games, etc. in my country my whole life), our conversation today was no more extreme than the game's content, so... you know... Ban me if necessary in the future - I don't mind because it doesn't matter - but for me it's illogical.

[tulip stream]

The server is somewhat separate from the game, yes it is about the game however we need to follow certain rules etc such as keeping things pg13 but in game we have outfits such as ferias swimwear just for some clarification. While I do appreciate the want or desire to discuss such topics as there can be genuinely informative discussions around them, they can and have both made people feel uncomfortable and lead to issues (not talking about this conversation in particular but in general) - people arguing, conversations getting toxic etc so we do not allow discussion relating to such sensitive topics in order to prevent that. On that note I would like to point out that even the most light or calm discussions can easily switch to something that is not in a server of this size, all it takes often is one person coming in and making a comment that is rude or offensive to another (sometimes even if that was not their intent) to derail the discussion hence why we have it explicitly stated in the rules not to discuss them. The rules are there and are there for a reason that being said again as much as I understand why you feel discussing such topics interesting and educational I have to ask you once again to avoid discussing them in the server in future and if you continue do so it will lead to further action which I am aware you stated you don’t mind but I do have to inform you of.

[hexed thistle]

Of course, Discord server has it's rules and it isn't strange that there are rules. I don't disagree with it, rules are needed.
I mean that they need to make sense for everyone and it would be best if they weren't excessively used in situations that don't objectively exhaust the grounds for violating any of the points.
Isn't it natural on such forums of discussions to ban the one who turns a discussion into a toxic one or writes something vulgar on purpose, rather than preventively banning the entire discussion and everyone involved? It's easier, but won't be better in all cases.
Discussion about the game is allowed, so is writing about history and religions allowed while adding every single time what in the game is related to it? 🙂 If discussion about what is in the game is prohibited, the server is contradicting it's own purpose as a server for a game, so it's very strange.
I mean it's internally contradictory that more "mature" things are in the game itself and allowed inside the game, but not allowed to be just written about outside the game, on game's Discord.
Although, I'm a no-one and I don't have any influence on how it's managed here, naturally. I also know and understand that you as moderators don't have control over everything.
I'm just stating my opinion what I think is wrong with it, as one of many users and players. An opinion that, I'm aware, most probably won't change anything.

[plucky gazelle]

https://tenor.com/view/fire-writing-gif-24533171

why are we debating the rules?

in off-topic

Let's give it a rest, please

[hexed thistle]

If only because you accused me of racism earlier, when there was no racism at all. 🙂
And if we consider that discrimination, then saying out of thin air that someone loves Poland for no reason is the same discrimination, although certainly a frivolous one, if at all.

Feelings are a two-sided coin. If one side is love, the other is hatred. Love and friendship aren't light words and shouldn't be.

[plucky gazelle]

If you would like to discuss an issue you had with something I said, you are welcome to discuss it with me in dms. If you have an issue with any moderation, feel free to bring it up with Lexie or Fugui.
The mod team has agreed on the rules, and we are simply asking you to follow them. If you don't agree with the rules, you can discuss that as well, but for now those are the rules and we all need to follow them.

[hexed thistle]

So we're discussing them. I'm not saying I can change the rules, it's beyond my power. I can only share my opinion.

[plucky gazelle]

I did not accuse you of racism, I reminded you to not say something that can be perceived as racist

[hexed thistle]

It can't be perceived as racist and I explained why.
I also linked national surveys later to prove my point that I wasn't even stating my private opinion, but an objective truth.

[plucky gazelle]

I have no idea what your beliefs are, only the words written. but please consider when your words are taken out of context, what kind of reaction and interpretation they might have

[hexed thistle]

What about what was written about Poland then, taken out of context? Should it be considered problematic too or not?

[plucky gazelle]

You would need to show me what you are referring to

[hexed thistle]

The same conversation. I'm not saying I have anything against what Gabriel wrote and his gif, but it's a double standard if you had problem with what I wrote, while I wrote more objectively and not personally. The survey is a proof if you need it.

[tulip stream]

Look at this point it is obvious we are not going to agree however as I stated the rules are there for a reason, you are entitled to disagree with that and as bin said bring it up to fugui or Lexie however this is not something we are going to debate. If you have any issues with or believe another members message gif image or anything also breaks those rules feel free to bring it to our attention. We try to be as fair and objective as possible however we are human beings and going through every channel to moderate is a lot so sometimes we miss things.

[plucky gazelle]

I think there is a point to this that you are missing. A big reason the rule exists is because in a public forum, there are many perspectives to consider. We want to promote a welcoming environment connecting people through their interest in Naraka, a video game. We don't want all the burdens of real life to weigh on people here, just a safe place where you can share your passion. I understand if you consider debating topics like this an interesting point of discussion, and something you are passionate about. However, not all topics are reacted to the same way, when it is something that involves a sensitive topic, it may cause users to feel uncomfortable, or reminded of something they are trying to find solace from. So out of respect for the rest of the server, we ask you to continue to follow the rules, because we do appreciate inquisitive minds and passionate members.

I'm glad we have people like u, interested in game lore and adding to the discussion about it, so please just try to avoid doing something that will cause the mod team to take action against you.

[hexed thistle]

But what is your stance then about debating topics from Naraka itself?

Naraka has some unsettling topics.

[plucky gazelle]

is this your response to everything I just said

https://tenor.com/view/door-hide-close-bye-cat-gif-22820275

If you aren't interested in the things i have to say then don't ask me

I'm waiting for maintenance to end, not gonna spend the rest of my night debating this. I said my peace, take it or leave it

[hexed thistle]

I understand that you as moderators care about players like me to some extent, at least some of you do.
That's nice of you, although there's no need for you to treat me specially and I don't expect you to.
I ask about it first and foremost because it's kind of the most important issue in this discussion about rules that you both don't like and you still haven't addressed it properly. Is discussing unsettling topics from the game itself allowed or not allowed on game's Discord?
I can't do even translations that I do if it isn't allowed, because it's against the rules then.

[plucky gazelle]

it depends on the topic

how it is discussed

and what the mods deem to be appropriate

based on the specific case

[hexed thistle]

That's too vague, you know. But nevermind... We don't have to continue this discussion if you can't or aren't allowed to answer it clearly. It leads nowhere.
Have fun after the maintenance, all of you, everyone.

[plucky gazelle]

it's vague because it depends on the case, nothing I can't say. It just depends on what the mod team deems appropriate

[dusky ermine]

[wild sequoia]

https://tenor.com/view/munchie-gmmm-missed-missed-token-usdm-gif-5762991948432378435

[dusky ermine]

@hexed thistle simply asking if its possible to keep things only about games and fantasies and not about real world issues 🥺

[hexed thistle]

And I'm simply writing that the game itself is heavily related to real world history and issues. 🙂 And I wasn't the one to come up with game's content. Original author or authors did. Since they deemed it appropriate, it's strange for it to not be appropriate on the same game's forum for talking.

[dusky ermine]

trying to keep the space where it detach you from all the issues you face irl and speak about about you know non serious stuff.

[dusky ermine]

yes you are free to talk about politics that Lord Qi is making not Trump

[lost crane]

Here goes hawai

A hawai in the city

[hexed thistle]

Is it just a place named Hawaii, but not in Hawaii?

[lost crane]

Yes

[hexed thistle]

Hmm, I see.

[lost crane]

Named hawai but not in hawai

[dusky ermine]

we have a street named American Junction

[tulip stream]

Game - depends on the context and overall conversation/approach
Irl - war, politics etc are not to be discussed

[hexed thistle]

I don't have to mention States at all, because they weren't existing at that time in history. 😄

[dusky ermine]

we in game now ?

[hexed thistle]

I can't see Naraka's plot related to states in any way, because that's too recent history.
That's why I write it's irrelevant to my question if unsettling topics from Naraka itself can be discussed.

[dusky ermine]

game is up @hexed thistle

[hexed thistle]

ok, ok

[dusky ermine]

time to find the lore of Rift XD

[hexed thistle]

Maybe you will find something that will satisfy you. 🙂

[dusky ermine]

he better have a written note of Rogue Shayol 😂

[hexed thistle]

We don't know yet if there are Americas or even Europe in Naraka's world. But maybe they are. 🙂

It can also be a small world that has only a continent of Asia.

Who knows, maybe we will see with time.

[hexed thistle]

There is a neighborhood Włochy (Italy) in Warszawa (Warsaw).
In Rybnik, nearby to where I live now, there is a district Mexico. And others, I don't remember their names now. 😄

Lara came to Naraka's universe from a different universe (our universe). The same with Wiedźmin (Witcher, Sapkowski's universe). 🙂

[lost crane]

Yesterday I reclip a thunder rain

[hexed thistle]

Hmm, maybe yes, maybe no. My guess is that rifts are connecting only 3 realities of the same Naraka's universe. All times from those realities, though.
Crossover characters were before rifts started to appear and are rather unrelated to current rifts.

There were crossover characters since a long time ago, Nier didn't start anything. 🙂

It wasn't explained in every case how they got to Naraka's universe.
In case of Wiedźmin I can say that he was teleported with others through their means and magic, from their universe. And landed in Naraka by accident. That's how it was written during Witcher's event.

I saw it, because I was playing in Naraka when Nier collaboration happened.

It's because players wanted the Nier event to come back and they got they wish, I guess. Nier will come back.
I personally am not interested in Nier in any way. I didn't play it and wouldn't want to. I also think outfits from Nier in Naraka were horrible.

Sniper riffle can also be related to any other shooting game, there are many.
There were already many events related to modern visual novels, games, dating games, universities, school life, merchandises like Hello Kitty, etc. It doesn't fit Naraka in many cases and reasons weren't even stated, but that's what players wanted, I guess.

Ziping Yin is from another universe, you know. She isn't even anyhow related to Naraka's story and don't take part in cinematics, unlike Kylin. She didn't get to Naraka through rifts that we have now.

I didn't read the Chinese Ghost Story, but I guess she got to Naraka through reasons related to her original story.
Like in the Witcher's case.

Yes, but Ziping Yin was earlier, I think. Or was it Yoto? 🤔

Yoto-hime also seem to appear in at least one place in the stories. She's Japanese like Kurumi and Nobutada, so it isn't weird in any way for her to have some role in Helioth's story if she does have one.

Maybe plans about this character were changed at some point.

I would have to see and translate Yoto-hime's cultivation stories to see if there's more to it left inside the game. I haven't done that yet.
I didn't play Onmyoji game, where Yoto-hime is from. The idea for Kurumi was from the same game, I assume.

good morning extra yap aka better chat

day 4 of daily music

https://open.spotify.com/track/5H1sKFMzDeMtXwND3V6hRY?si=H_vDXQUYQkiDCWW-g61OWw

[willow rose]

we got a bit scolded during the night👀

[cobalt vector]

ohhh? for what?

[cobalt vector]

good morning and day to you my friend

[willow rose]

too much politics and history related stuff with Faruviel. At least we were civilize

good morning to you and good afternoon for me!

[cobalt vector]

Faruviel is an intelligent person, i believe she holds no ill intent or bad faith in what she says. so i dont agree with how it was a 3v1 at one point . how she talks may come off as dry but no way she undermines anyone. however, this isn’t a personal server and whatever rules that are in place, it is up to the mods to enforce them through their own interpretation. we all agreed to this when we joined, if we didn’t fully read the rules in its entirety than there’s nothing that can be done to help.

[cobalt vector]

yes yes the day has started

[willow rose]

Yeah she is a bit rough but she is nice so for me it's okay. I didn't see the 3v1 or maybe i forgot something

[willow rose]

[cobalt vector]

naraka update dropped?

[cobalt vector]

[willow rose]

alas

yep the new character is here

[cobalt vector]

the day calls for gaming

gaming so i shall

[willow rose]

that's the spirit

[cobalt vector]

yes yes, i’ve been lacking in gaming recently . i need to do more. outside is fun they love me out there

[jaunty coyote]

No, I rather not to see you get burnt Isha

Morning Isha and evening to you Zantri

@tender spire herp me, I need to identify those flowers that have a purple center, looks like a small kind of palm, but what exactly?

[willow rose]

hey hey! (more like afternoon for me btw) the song nightrunner the shared was nice

[willow rose]

what's the activity in game then?

[jaunty coyote]

Glad you liked it😉 got some more that have the same flow

[willow rose]

it's the kind of style perfect when you work on something or farming/etc

[cobalt vector]

good morning gabriel!

[jaunty coyote]

Fairly I have those songs when I go out driving at night or just casual running around the park where I live

[cobalt vector]

hmm, run around and hope for the best but also have gnarly skills

[jaunty coyote]

I usually run everyday from everything in between 10-30 kilometres listening to that kind of playstyle

[cobalt vector]

i want to play naraka but gosh the que times and i’m in love with fate trigger rn since i finally can play it

[jaunty coyote]

Heyo, how you doing?

[jaunty coyote]

Fairly I asked Ramo if they have the same characters as the arks, but got no answer

I’m going to jump in either tonight or tomorrow

I wish to see Jack the Ripper

She was cool af in the series

[willow rose]

looks like me for nirriti's ruins👀

[willow rose]

marathonian for sure

[jaunty coyote]

🤣army

In the army that’s how we train

[cobalt vector]

idk what arks is so i couldn’t help you with that either haha

[cobalt vector]

that’s showdown?

[willow rose]

it's unironicaly one of the best way. ah... if only i liked run and walk

[jaunty coyote]

The anime series, arks is for manga

[jaunty coyote]

I mean you can start slow, make yourself a map in head, and follow it.

[willow rose]

yup. i play showdown a lot these days and go a bit for survival and rift. but since the vent is finished i'm not sure i will go that much on rift until it's full solo i dunno

[jaunty coyote]

That’s a bit too much coming from me, since small, I used to be that person that gets lost in a mall. Even with maps around me

[willow rose]

nah the problem it's in bore me. i would like to have as complement with the gym but i can't figure out how to make it enjoyable

[jaunty coyote]

Go out shopping with friends? Yeah uhhh, lost in 2 minutes

[willow rose]

my friends are not around anymore. But if one day i join them i will kick their asses to come being healthy with me👀

[tender spire]

I have no idea what plant you’re talking about. The ones from second pic remind me of guzmanias

[tender spire]

Yes, you

[jaunty coyote]

For me it’s not about making enjoyable, it’s about being healthy. I used to have so many organ failures since a kid, and army, running, gym training, martial arts helped me a lot , bone density got better, used it have a heart monitor on my heart because it wasn’t pumping enough, that disappeared.

Low blood sugar.

So for me it’s about staying on the move

[jaunty coyote]

Merci

[tender spire]

Idk if it’s that flower tho

[jaunty coyote]

My sister took those pictures for me so I have no idea what that is, and she doesn’t either.

She lives in America too, different time zones. And I want to plant some of these flowers in my garden

Make a bush maybe out of some

They’re pretty as hell

[jaunty coyote]

Not around anymore? I’m sorry to hear that

May they rest in peace

[willow rose]

no they are not dead ahah

just not in the same city as mine

[willow rose]

i see. that's really rough

[jaunty coyote]

Don't Tell kumi

[hexed thistle]

It's fine. Don't worry, I'm taking the blame on myself. 😁

As soon as I write something, everyone goes quiet. 😄
Don't worry about me and continue. I won't bother you. I don't need to write more today and here, I'm busy on the lore channel or inside the game.

[narrow copper]

It's not that deep

[cobalt vector]

you are aware of inuyasha i see. It is one of my top 5 animes. i do love the art style and kirara. i wanted to get into the continuation of the show but i feel as though it’s too different from the original material.

sango is also the best character in my opinion as well.

https://tenor.com/view/sango-faguchis-gif-21237448

that boomerang was amazing weapon choice.

[hexed thistle]

I never wrote something like that. 🙂

Kirara is cute, though. 😄 Cute and fierce.

[cobalt vector]

that is my opinion though. i am a fan of hers as well as kikyo hehe

[cobalt vector]

i remember first watching her transform ! it was very badass

[hexed thistle]

But not of Kagome? 🙂

[hexed thistle]

The new anime about their daughters is not based on the original manga by the author. It's solely the private idea of the same people who made the anime from the original manga years earlier. The author agreed to it and she helped them a bit, but generally she doesn't have anything to do with the new story.

[cobalt vector]

i finished watching you performance of Kikyo’s Melody. it’s beautiful though the sound quality probably does sound better in game. it’s impressive that this is by ear. Yes, Kikyo and not kagome. Though they are the same soul, the personality of both are striking different. i like kikyo because of the weight and responsibility she holds. i also love her melody. it’s melancholy somber and gentle. everything interesting about kagome comes from kikyo. that is my honest opinion.

[cobalt vector]

yeah, i got that. i watched a few episodes to get the idea of it but i soon gave it up. i did love moroha’s design. hehe. her being more inuyasha was a nice touch.

https://tenor.com/view/angry-mad-stop-it-moroha-ok-bye-gif-1115934890242471205

i mean let’s be honest, that’s Inuyasha’s entire face.

[cobalt vector]

yes i see, i apologize, during this time i had been preoccupied with important matters i didnt notice the conversation right above.

[hexed thistle]

Kikyo and Kagome are the same soul, but two different people.
That's the point that the soul is not the person. Your soul is not you, but your owner (separate from you, what and how you are), who after your death will have different, new bodies. Souls are immortals, humans are mortal. Of course, this is only in beliefs that include reincarnations.
But well, again I'm getting into religious topics and someone won't like it again.

In any case, neither Kikyo nor Kagome is better or worse than the other and personally I think that was the moral and conclusion of the original story from the manga and anime.

[hexed thistle]

No problem, I digged to it in the channel history to show that Tizo had already written about it earlier.

[cobalt vector]

reincarnations within anime talk is allowed
and often can be depicted as isekais discussion as well. in this case, it’s the main storyline and theme of the anime. as long as we maintain in the realm of the anime it should be fine, unless stated otherwise.

[hexed thistle]

Inuyasha isn't an isekai. It's the same world, just in a different time.

Isekai means a different world.

[cobalt vector]

i also agree with you about them not being better or worse than one another. when kikyo was brought back to life her soul was spilt and corrupted. Reanimated kikyo (for difference sake) is quite evil and almost makes it the viewer forget how kikyo was. it’s interesting because it also takes the viewer on the path the reanimated kikyo is on.

[cobalt vector]

yes, explicitly. implicitly it can be classified as one as the times never overlap. even though it’s more of a time traveling occurrence, it still is taking the main character and putting them in a different world/time that they’re not familiar, often causing them to create new life.

one can further this point with the fact that time continues regardless if kagome is in tokyo or feudal japan. the future also isn’t altered based on kagome’s choices either, which is a common occurrence to happen if it is in the same world.

[hexed thistle]

It's the genre of anime and manga. If it was isekai, she would travel to another world. But she was travelling in time in her own world. It's time travel, not isekai genre.

Time loops are related as a potential problem to time travels.

[hexed thistle]

Kikyo was able to exist in a state somewhere between life and death because a small part of the soul separated from Kagome and returned to Kikyo for a time. But Kikyo had to rely on stealing fragments of other souls too, as she only regained a fragment of her own and she needed more to survive for longer in this state.
Kikyo wasn't corrupted, nor was she evil. She simply died believing in lies and felt a multitude of very strong negative emotions. Immediately after her incomplete resurrection, she returned to the same state she had died in. But she managed to come to terms with everything and calm down over time.
Ultimately, Kikyo stopped desperately clinging to the remnants of her pseudo-life and willingly died again.

[wild sequoia]

by continuation do you mean the newer show that takes place years later?

(forgot what it was called)

[cobalt vector]

that’s an excellent point. Kagome brought many things from Tokyo back to Feudal Japan. Those things being advances in technology that at the time was not inventions until many years in the future. however, that had no effect nor disruption to the animes timeline. this reason, is why i believe when kagome goes through the well, it is a different “world” essentially.

[hexed thistle]

Their daughters are only there. Nowhere else.

[hexed thistle]

Problems with that were mentioned in the manga. In anime too. 🙂

Maybe you don't remember, but it isn't very important.

[wild sequoia]

yeahhhh that one, the one that wasn't even done by the original author

[cobalt vector]

You are right. it took her a mighty long time haha she was one of the most interesting characters in the show. though, as we discuss, there are definitely some plot holes.

[hexed thistle]

@wild sequoia

[cobalt vector]

i don’t remember all but i probably was one of the people complaining hahah

[wild sequoia]

it is not good

[cobalt vector]

her taking the souls of those women was pretty.. malicious if i do say so myself.

Allow me to show you my kikyo funko pop haha

[wild sequoia]

the only thing i liked about it was seeing inuyasha and kagome together years later and dealing with thier kid

[hexed thistle]

Yes. It's far too extreme in feminist approach, too pseudo-liberal and modern, also many things and details don't make sense.
But these are also controversial topics. 😉

[hexed thistle]

hmm

I wouldn't say it's her if I didn't know. 😄

[cobalt vector]

LMAOOO

it is cute at least

it also has her soul dragons so…

[hexed thistle]

Hmm, I don't know... She has a strange nose for sure. 😄

[cobalt vector]

it glows in the dark

[hexed thistle]

Oh, I see.

[cobalt vector]

oh shush ! it’s quite adorable ! as long as we know it’s her that’s all that matters

i kinda wanna take her out just so that i can show you and get more critiques

ima do it

[hexed thistle]

The well changed depending on what was happening - in both times - if you want me to give you the first easy example, just off the top of my head. The Shikon no tama topic in the entire anime is about Kagome bringing it from the future to the past and it changed the entire time continuum in both the future and the past.
Maybe you misunderstood the entire plot in Inuyasha or you're remembering it incorrectly, if I can''t convice you that it wasn't isekai in any way. 😄

[hexed thistle]

Her nose is really weird. 😄

The doll would look better, I think, without that nose or without any nose. 🙂

Also with different eyes, I think.

But her clothes are quite nice, for this kind of a doll.

Are they made of rubber or some other material?

[cobalt vector]

i know it is not an isekai by nature and there are different components in which that can support. however, i do like engaging in different ideas and developing consensus that can possibly work and if not, toss it and continue with the conversation until another possible idea can be prompted . i think that’s one of the best things about animes is that, discussing ideas along with facts can lead to interesting conversations,

[cobalt vector]

it is a plastic and rubber combination. the more i look at it i understand the nose LMAO i think it would of been a bit smaller or not at all. i like the dragon and her outfit a lot. she also has make up but im not a fan of that particularly.

[wild sequoia]

i would like to point an interesting point Kagome sharing a soul with kikyo, i think part of the idea is that her love for Inuyasha transcends time, think about, it kikyo's reincarnation "goes back in time" and in the end ends up with Inuyasha

[hexed thistle]

The soul accepted Kikyo's dying request. This is also explored in the story. 🙂

[hexed thistle]

Do you mean her little eye make-up?

[hexed thistle]

Kagome / Kikyo's soul and Inuyasha's soul are probably soulmates. Or became soulmated or bonded in a different way from the moment of Kikyo's wish through Shikon. Or they could became bonded through karma and Kikyo's dying / unresolved wishes in her life too.
Karma towards other souls from unresolved things in past lives / bodies of those souls is usually considered something rather bad, not good. But it depends.

[cobalt vector]

yeah, she has little red eyeshadow .. like what’s that hehe

[hexed thistle]

They couldn't make it bigger because it wouldn't fit the style. 🙂

[cobalt vector]

they should of removed it. btw, do you own any figurines yourself ?

[hexed thistle]

As you saw earlier, I've been collecting tea vases lately. 😄

I don't collect any figures of characters from something, no. I think it's a hobby more popular in the States or Canada.

It would also be unnecessary clutter in my house. 🙂
We have too much stuff anyway for our apartment, but we mainly keep useful things (and ideally nice / pretty at the same time), not just pretty ones.

[cobalt vector]

aww, maybe so but its definitely international! besides the tea vases, you never been interested in collecting or starting a collection of something?

[cobalt vector]

well, thats a great way to think of things. as long as its cute AND useful, it shall be considered. its partical, i love it.
