Rise and Fall of Civilizations or something
Plus, a tendency to borrow against the future to fund the now and even do big yet stupid gambles for said future, aren't just limited to them
A "time of plenty" doesn't necessarily have to be a post scarcity paradise, it just has to make it so that...
I think I saw this many years ago on FFN
I haven’t read the last Infinite Stratos volumes, from what I can tell, the author more or less stopped but revealed that the Orimura’s were the result of an attempted supersoldier program which was shut down because Tabane existed
And that Tabane was...
I am currently playing Bravely Default II on my Steamdeck
For some reason, I can’t use my PS4 controller with it on my PC
I’d prefer playing on my PC, as my Steamdeck starts losing like 20-40% battery at least an hour into playing
Like Naruto, the Guilds apparently had a Warring States Period of sorts
I think there might be laws to prevent them from actually doing the work of the actual armed forces
I think it would work best if there are multiple competing guilds rather than one big international body
Think of “Fixers” from Cyberpunk
They don’t necessarily all have buildings where everyone goes to, hell, they may go to you instead and keep the deals a secret
Fair
Explains how/why they have analogies to office workers, even though it’s a more physical job
Same for Guilds in Korea’s Tower System Apocalypse LITRPG equivalents which started with Solo Leveling. Where it’s more of a toxic corporate office environment than a PMC.
Why do they all use Adventurer Guilds, though?
I play videogames, I presume people/characters just go off wandering and encountering people who ask for help
How much “balance” is there between the Character Classes and Races?
Because I get most of the stuff coming out of Japan is about being an overpowered munchkin, but it still feels weird for Healers to be able to do so much
Western Webtoons then….I think lots of those indie comic guys will have to “downgrade”, but it’ll be for the better
TBF, I am not sure how much Japan, Korea and China even play Tabletop Gaming
Since the West looks to be cranking out a lot of their own “Progression Fantasy” like Korea, China and Japan have been doing
How long till those books get more regular comic adaptations?
Because frankly, even a single chapter/issue can take months unless it’s from an American Comicbook company...
I think I can adapt a bit, I’ll try to make use of my very early mornings for something
I managed to get to really practicing art again, so may as well try that, when I really get rolling I keep on going
Is it wrong that I am using the toilet twice a day?
Been able to take a dump more than once, early morning, since I started doing workouts more frequently, hell i mostly just take 1-2 meals, lunch and usually a relatively light dinner of yolkless omelette and whatever fish/meat I got
My own...
I admit, I only saw the cutscenes and even then I kept skipping
But I felt disappointed at the end with the reveal and what wasn’t allowed
Should have added a chance to press a button on his face
Well, as my art tutor said, better to focus on one particularly good draft rather than a bunch of them, or something
Since I am willing to take like an hour on a single piece with help, may as well start doing it with self help
I guess I keep having stupidly high expectations of myself, mostly because after all my years of study with a tiger mom increasing my stress all the way till the end of college and my family’s attempts at “teaching me business” I have almost zero actual skills
So I want to compensate, even by...
I only started having this problem during COVID, in part because I keep on amassing many books and chapters and feel bad that I am not using them all up
I am only able to easily binge read fanfics, not original works
Books somehow feel harder to read depending on the author, not sure why, even...
