  • I am really appreciating the vibe of this show. This shows a vibrant ecosystem within each layer of the dungeon, coupled with a variety of problems that can be solved in a multitude of ways.

    I wouldn’t have expected that the mandrake could be harvested and eaten by just cutting off their heads. I also didn’t expect that they would show the screamed-out one to be superior.

    One point they are making is the strength of the main characters. At the beginning you see that they are initially holding their own against a large dragon, before they fail. Now the party’s strength seems to be compared against adventurers at each stage. So far, the party has had the occasional mistake, but hasn’t faced anything significantly challenging. It will be interesting to see what the party’s limits are and how they overcome them.




  • It never struck me in the past, but Kenshin was putting away at half a brain all, “Yare yare, gozaru,” trying to recover from the PTSD of killing numerous people. He is trying to live this new life, and become the new person.

    When the past is dug up, be has a deep personality change. When Saito attacks, we see the real? old?Kenshin buried under all the layers of peace. Although we have seen the cracks in the past, I think this is the first time in the series that he seriously considered killing someone and thoroughly became his old self.

    I don’t know if it is intended, but Saitou’s first name is Hajime, or beginning. The character is supposedly based on a real person with the same name who served as the captain of the third unit of the Shinsengumi and later as a police officer.







  • I’ll start!

    It is year 1.4 on the asteroid and a copy of “The Individual in Question, Whose Inclinations and Affections Do Not Align with Your Expectations, Displays a Sufficient Lack of Interest Towards Your Personage, Consequently Resulting in the Verifiable Conclusion That They Are Not Enthusiastically Engaged in Establishing Any Form of Emotional or Romantic Connection with You.” (Also titled, “He/She/They Are Just Not That Into You”).




  • I remember these being suggested to me as a newbie a long time ago.

    Please continue to learn! It’s great to bring new perspectives to play.

    I kind of answered this elsewhere in the thread, but here is my answer to you.

    If you are referring to basic OS level functions, they are super similar, but they are also wildly different.

    Ubuntu is based on Debian. It is centered on keyboard and mouse input, often with touchscreen. It uses a Canonical kernel.

    Android is its own flavor of Linux, entirely centered on touch input. It uses a heavily customized AOSP kernel.

    While I think it might be entirely possible to install and remove packages to have one act like the other, they have wildly different kernels.

    Here is a pretty lengthy write up on the subject by Richard Stallman.

  • Oh, I forgot about Chromebooks and ChromeOS. They are similar, but there are significant differences.

    ChromeOS is based on Gentoo. It is centered on keyboard and mouse input, often with touchscreen.

    Android is its own flavor of Linux, entirely centered on touch input.

    While I think it might be entirely possible to install and remove packages to have one act like the other, we are comparing a different Linux flavor against Android.

    Also, my answer is probably generic enough to answer OP.
