Oh yeah, i love greed island. It being an arc certainly keeps the novelty of the other world’s mechanics from getting old.
To make it work as a full series you gotta have a lot more substance though, because at some point that novelty will inevitably run out. And now instead of “exciting new world where everything is different”, it’s just a regular world we’re already used to. At that point you gotta have an actual compelling story to keep it going.
I still like the concept, it’s just that 90% of the stuff that uses said concept is terrible. I mean, Isekai is only an initial premise, you need A LOT more to make a good anime.
I’ve no problem wih drugs or even psychedelics, but the moment you start acting like you’re a buddhist monk because you took acid once is when i’ll start rolling my eyes.
Well i’d argue that feeling something isn’t exactly gnosis then. Doesn’t matter how awesome you felt if the extent of your revelation is "i exist and i’m part of the universe’
Call me cynical but hearing druggies talk about their trips like it’s some transcendental super knowledge sounds just like a facebook aunt talking about the power of healing crystals to me or some such nonsense.
I’m sure you had fun, and if you think that improved your life then good for you. But my point is that whatever revelation you had while tripping is no deeper than what anyone has when they reflect on their lives a bit while sober. You identify with this meme not because whatever “great gnosis” you had is impossible to describe to us mere mortals, but because it really is that simplistic. The only reason you think of it so highly is because your senses were going wild while thinking it.
Plus the whole “one with the universe” talk sounds very pseudosciency to me and i’m not sure if you’re just being metaphorical or you believe in magic now, so sorry if that’s not the case.
I not great with estimating sizes, and i often have trouble converting things from feet to meters on the spot. Last session i presented the players a quest to slay a sea monster. They cleverly decided to scout first with a familiar, and i described the creature and its size. I ended up exaggerating the size i bit too much and they’ve decided to avoid it until they’re higher level. So what was supposed to be a simple “monster of the week” type of encounter has now turned into a late game boss fight.
Mate, you’re not “one with the universe”, you were just high.
Is it just placebo effect because playing with cats makes people happy?
I think the blood thing was just for the last supper.
I mean, why would pokemon be on the side of team rocket or whatever other villainous (often apocalyptic) group the games have? They just follow whoever catches them no matter what.
Ugh, that’s so annoying. Every time windows updates i have to open the BIOS and put ubuntu first on the boot order so it doesn’t skip grub.
I Also have a drive that i can access on both linux and Windows and every so often Windows will make it inaccessible on Linux because it didn’t fully unmount the drive.
Maybe those are the modifiers and Jerry has a fucking 24 Charisma.
My head-canon is that they have a shorter window of fertility. I mean humans have menopause as well.
Though it would make more sense if that happens later in their lives, otherwise you’re saying every adventurer has given up the possibility of raising kids. Also, i suppose if that’s the case they haven’t really matured in the sexual sense, so much as they’ve just grown enough to be independent.
I seem to remember some bit of lore saying dwarves only settle down to have kids near the end of their lives, but i can’t find that anywhere ( Might’ve just imagined it, lol).
Maybe adventuring across ages with different heirs of humans who go from weak to strong extremely fast while elves start strong and grow slowly?
That sounds cool but you’d need all your quests to span generations and leveling in general would be very slow. Probably harder to make it balanced as well.
Rules don’t apply to you when you’re a motherfucking dragon, lol. They’re so broken they don’t need to hurry up growing, cause they’re already at the top of the food chain at basically any stage in their lives.
I mean, i’d argue that a car costs a bit more than $150, but i see your point.
