I am disgisted, horrified, bamboozled, and intrigued.

what are those names, what horrible design, what a weird premise. I want some... for research purposes, I assure you. I want to horrify other people with this cursed knowledge.

As Trump said: "China"

"Furthermore, our law enforcement has more and even bigger guns"

yes, but guns kill people. if you manage to shoot someone in the head, say from a window/balcony in a hotel, they are dead. regardless of bigness of gun.

The people with bigger guns ought to protect the children or something.

Maybe I am growing insane, maybe I am not, for sure I am not the best person to explain this (/communicate my thoughts).

"That's the simple explanation"

This does not cut it for me, I want to know what these processes truely entail.

If you "own your home with no mortgage" Inflation does NOT do anything, since the worth and the money numbers are not the same. If you own a Housing complex in Brazil or Venezuela or whatever and suddenly the inflation jumps up 3'000% per month. Your assets arent suddenly the equivalent of an egg from Walmart. After the Shake-up has calmed down, you will ve able to raise the rent back up to a similar level as before and as such extract a similar worth from those poor Venezuelans.

The money number may be entirely different, maybe even in another currency, but the worth should stay the same.

Hmm I wonder if that even makes a difference, uploading content to other swiss people or uploading content to someone from, say italy.

The following is an unprompted rant/review by me about said Manga. (I am a native german speaker and find those "apt german names" very jarring, and will thus try to replicate said feeling for you for a short while.)

I intensely disliked it. The Artwork is good, somewhat bland but still high quality. The english translation is solid.

The Story starts in bland medievaleasque "high" fantasy(demons, elves, whatnot) after the big bad has been defeated. The pre-story is about the main character Freezing (Frieren) who is an elf and as such has quite the long lifespan and has to watch her good friends pass away one after the other (drama much).

The story we are following (atleast to where I have read) is where Far (Fern, probably he yearns for the unknown, the far-away and needs to drag the poor, unwilling elf lady with him, but because of japanes media, her feelings actually wont ever be like her initial setup should have made her, so she can fully support the now male lead and be happy going away from where she wanted to remain.) somehow ends up in a party with Freezing.

Then they meet up with one of her old companions Iron (Eisen) one of the most blandest dwarfs I have ever heard of in my entire life. (dwarfs are short, have a beard, like eating and like booze. Thats as far as the manga goes. He is one of the most relatable characters. dwarfes could however also be [in better media]: Spiteful, vengeful, stupid, dirty, blunt, loud, horrible, shy, awkward, fascinating, mentors, heroes, helpful, nice, pretty, non-bearded, women, woman-like despite being a "true" male dwarf, ...)

Then Far discovers why Freezing has taken them to where in this manga-world they are. because (drama much) thats the grave-site of one of her old companions, and its a beautifully drawn panel and in other media I would have loved it.

My issues with the story are mainly the blandness and another thing. Bland meaning it lacks any part of imagination on the authors part. they just have read some fantasy and decided: "you know what the world needs? more of this!" and made scrambled story after. There are tons of manga that are set in "medievalesque high-fantasy" but some of them actually do it interestingly. not this one.

And now to the big problem: the characters are fucked up stiff. Yes they are bland and unimaginative. but they could be relatable if all those (drama much) moments were actually used instead of thrown in your face and twenty seconds later Far needs to try to learn magic or some crap and is grinning over his ears and laughing and the mood is all chirpy (because mangas have light backgrounds with minimal detail, to save on costs and to enhance the drawers wrist-lifespan, which just makes everything appear somewhat anti-negative.)

A good writer would be able to overcome these medium-related challenges and still have an emotional build-up instead one just receives a bit of "whip-lash" and is forced into the next story beat.

The next story beat however must wait until the japanese are done talking and exchanging niceties. In their very forced manner. you know what I am talking about. male protagonist has a big grin, slight blush, hand behind their head, and something slighty embarrasing leaving their mouth just enough for you to experience slight "Fremdscham" ("Shame from others" maybe cringe or such in english, the reason why Germans arent funny, they only know such humour).

You know, I was busy reading a manga and evaluating if it was good, now I am just left reading boring dialogue between freezing-sama and Far-kun or whatever they called eachother.

I wouldnt have a problem with Freezing being stiff, stillfrozen etc in conversation. maybe something interesting like stutters, badly chosen words or taking a slightly too long time for answering, but always answering very smartly.

but then the human-mal-japanes-self-insert "Far" starts talking like her. THEN THE FUCKING DWARF TALKS THAT WAY. just endless: "yes it appears so", "we have had a very enjoyable day so far".

If I want some strange people talking to each other like strangers i can go to my autistic friends. at least they sometimes have something interesting going on.

anyway im tired writing now. This manga starts horribly and I cant see how anyone can like it enough to power through that shit until it probably gets better again, somehow?

tl;dr: The World, Setting and characters are unimaginative, bland even, just a bad(/BlAnD) mix of things you'd probably enjoy more coming closer from the source. And they talk in a very japanese way, in a very stiff way and everyone talks the same way. Imagine donald trump or Will Smith or another recognizable voice reading the text for one character and the the text for another. does anything change? Do you actually hear someone else or just a schizo Trump?

Some Manga/stories I have enjoyed signifitcantly more because they have at least a sliver of imagination and talent (italics for similar to what ive read of the manga ive decried here):

• Made in Abyss
• Dungeon Meshi
• Somali to Mori no Kami-sama
• SSS-Class Suicide Hunter
• The Breaker
• The Wrong way to use healing Magic
• Kaiju no.8
• The Breaker
• Her Summon
• Hito Hitori Futari
• Grand Blue
• Tensei Shitara Ken Deshita
• The Dragon, the hero, and the courier
• Isakei Walking

Non Manga:

• The Lord Of The Rings

Low Fantasy:

• True Education
• Lord of Money

I hope someone finds this and finds something on the shortlist they enjoy too.

Pussies on the ... Bussy..s?

"As a non-native (who also misunderstood the sentence at first), I wouldn't want people to adapt or simplify their language for my sake." That is very true for me too

cool, i've always wanted floridian swamp under a brige!

Wow, Gobbo tools is fun, thanks.

I cant even with lofi, I call it "headache inducing sounds" many games with "relaxing" soundtracks have a similar problem, like Minecraft. theres just so much thyme (without music) for you to accumulate all of your senses and then there comes the music, wich is just a bit of long (boooring) piano plings and then the nightmare continues, i get dehydrated, the game is """"""FFFFUN"""""""" whith a capital f-u... anyways i dont enjoy listening to samey things...

I dont wanna go on for hours about this, but maybe I will, at some point.

cannot recommend for now. Have bought the game and the current versions run horribly, so if you cannot afford a good Graphics card, then there is no use in pirating current versions of the game.
