my new position at work is a lot of work but being housing director has some pretty nice perks i can just hang out in my office and read manga and be like "i'm working on the accrediting documentation" it doesn't actually take that long and honestly i'm almost done but i can draw it out and nobody will ask questiond

hey ton wanna go freeze to death with us in washington
haha that looks so fun i hope it's so bad its good just two hours of people shooting fighting monsters with big explosions
Anno
Oh yeah I saw it was coming out today late last night I guess I'll look at that once I get to my computer. It's probably b going to be an outright terrible movie, on top of being an even worse MonHun adaptation.
whoakun
why are they militsry soldiers
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
because Army Strong
Anno
Because the US military paid them to paint the army in a favourable light.
FormerRei@mobile
Ohayo!
Anno
>>884025 Okay the wyverns in that actually look pretty good. I guess getting a Hollywood budget means you can pull out all the stops for 3D CGI rendering. Something I'm kinda hoping is that the lightning storm at the start of the trailer is the work of a Kirin, because something I think the MonHun games don't really do so well is get across how much of a force of nature Elder Dragons are supposed to be. It was better in World, but even then that degree of intensity was mostly only reserved for the really big Elder Dragons and the smaller ones like the Kirin are kinda less impressive, when the lore generally indicates even they are some scary motherfuckers. If a Kirin can kick up a rolling hellstorm like that all on its lonesome than that's pretty cool, and not something we've seen in any of the games really.
S C
I only got the one sale, but that's normal for day 2, it seems
S C
But beato, aren't you red-texting that you used the key, now?
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
magic trumps everything - Beato probably
S C
I guess under the rules of the game, magic falls under the definition of impossible So if something is impossible, magic is the only option
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
Exactly. She's saying that the only way anyone could get into the chapel is with the key, or magic.
Anno
Yeah Beato's magic lets her teleport in and out of rooms at will, as well as move dead bodies around with her. She doesn't even NEED a key to create a locked room.
S C
Well Beato's magic is fake, as proven by the great Battoru-sama
Anno
Oh yeah? Show me precisely where he proves her magic don't real
I mean really, just from the first murder it's clear Beato is no witch She wouldn't need to use the key if she was
JaPAN
why am I awake already
Anno
We are born to suffer
JaPAN
that's fair I guess
Anno
>>884042 Why does that discredit her from being a witch? It's been stressed time and time over Beatrice is a fickle witch who enjoys toying with inconsistencies. If she decided to avail herself to the key or not, that's dependent on her mood, not her magic!
S C
I guess if you assume her goal is not to win the game with Battler, but to play it like Kinzo and Nanjo, then that makes sense But if she had wanted to win, it'd be unbeatable for her to red-text that the key was not used, and without it, it is impossible to open the door
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
Beato is just out to stave off boredom
S C
But I suppose she would also feel that is a hollow victory, perhaps
S C
By the way Is Beato (board game piece) the same entity as Beato (metaworld battler-rival)? Or are they separate entities? Is Beato in the metaworld acting through the board game piece, or is it acting of its own accord? >>884051 Oho, I didn't know meta-Battler could influence board Battler I thought they were disconnected
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
Yes and no Battler is in control of his Battler piece and Beato is in control of her Beato piece. They can act on auto-pilot though, but that's not relevant for a long time.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
Yeah like there are parts in what you're reading now where Battler will comment on what piece-Battler is doing and even saying that some of what he's doing is a bad idea.
S C
>>884052 Well of course, but tha only seems to mean he can't control the Battler on the board, right, or he'd act for him? >>884054 Well, I seem to be misunderstanding something, but I will continue reading and it should become clear to me, as well
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
No he means that he's making a bad move because it's JUSTICE or in his nature like I'll admit I'm reading close to where you are, and that should become apparent.
Anno
>>884047 She can't say that it's impossible to open the door without the key in Red Text because that's patently false. You could easily break down the door. >>884057 No, she said you can't unlock the door without the key. Those are two entirely different statements.
Red Text doesn't make something true, something being true makes it Red Text.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
I'd continue reading right now were it not for the fact I have to make content for tonight and I want to make sure I'm done with that first.
In case you aren't aware be careful not to interrupt tilde midpost.
S C
>>884055 Oh, you are correct I believe she said something to the effect that it was unlocked, though, though not in those words, in response to Battler saying you could have screwed it off the hinges Lemme see Ah here we go >When the door to the chapel is locked, it prevents any and all methods of entry or exit It doesn't SAY it was unlocked, but it does MEAN it was unlocked
Anno
As for your second observation in that post from before, well, as you'll soon see, Battler is incompetent
Anno
>>884059 A broken door is technically an unlocked door, is it not?
S C
>>884061 Not if >It is impossible to unlock the lock to the chapel with anything but the chapel's key
S C
OH That specifically says the LOCK, not the door Naruhodo The two truths mention different mechanics!
S C
The DOOR can be unlocked, even if the lock still is locked, provided the lock has been taken off somehow
S C
Battler: deliberating Battler: Wait! 3 is more than 1!
This man is LOST
Anno
No one has ever claimed Battler to be a smart man.
S C
Literally none of the Ushiromiya women have chill
S C
Also I suspect Kinzo's furniture are not actually orphans, but his own flesh and blood. Possibly literally, what with black magic being involved. They get to wear the golden wing, after all
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
What if Rosa had a gun :)
S C
mood tbh
AnnoS C
R U D E
Anno
Ah yes. In case you were dutiful in not reading spoilers, >>884060 this is now relevant.
S C
I do not read The Spoilers Can I now safely read that one?
Anno
Yeah though you'll find it echoes what you just read hah hah
The problem with picking Red Text too closely as a reader is that Battler is a dumbass and totally misses pretty obvious loopholes and lazy statements Beato makes in the red. Whether or not that is actually relevant, well, that would be actual spoilers. But don't expect him to jump on every mistep Beato makes. He is incompetent, after all.
S C
Ah, I see
S C
>>884075 Yeah, I mean until they found the keys on Jessica, it'd have been very easy to simply claim whoever killed them both took Kanon's keys and his body, locked the room, and left And even after, you could posit they maybe stole someone else's keys and returned them, unnoticed Difficult, for sure, but surely less outlandish than magic
S C
(Also beato keeps doing the "what is love" headbobbing during her monologues, and I can't stop laff)
Anno
What love is, is also a very pertinent question to Umineko! After all, without love, it can not be seen.
S C
I feel like I'm not far enough in to even begin to guess at that
Anno
Don't worry, I think a lot of people get to the end of all eight Episodes without quite understanding it either.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
Yes me especially.
S C
Woman born into truly unspeakable wealth chastises her abused servants for supposedly wanting money
S C
She can't even say they're greedy in red text
Anno
>>884083 Kinzo's children were raised in comfort but in their adult lives (with the exception of Krauss) were mostly left to their own devices for making a living. Which is why come 1986 they're all in fairly desperate need of money. But yes it is likely Rosa somewhat projecting her own desire to return to comfort on the servants.
Anno
>>>/watch?v=bnH9Gbw4ybk There used to be a great ahaha.wav video where the sound clip was spammed and then the last few seconds was Ohara Sayaka's Beato cackle from the anime ending with her going "IT'S PAAAAFEKUTO" I dunno if I can find it anymore but I remember it fondly.
S C
>>884085 They're in need of vast amount of money to save their businesses though Rudolf's seemingly a large shareholder in a business that got into a big dispute with an American company, so that's internationally prominent
Anno
Yeah but if their businesses go under they don't have a way to make a living.
S C
Well sure I'm just saying they didn't get to the point of needing to save their businesses with vast amount of money from scratch
Anno
They built those businesses up first, and then made bad decisions as time went on and ended up in precarious positions. Kinzo was an asshole dad and didn't jus t give them all the money they needed to do well for themselves. Not to mention Hideyoshi was a businessman before he married into the Ushiromiya family and was a successful businessman before being affiliated with them.
My point is they're desperate for money because they don't have any way to save their livelihoods otherwise. And for arrogant rich kids the thought of being destitute is worse than death, or murder. At the least, we can take that as motive for desperation as truth.
S C
That much is fair, yeah
S C
Battler! NO LEWD!
Anno
He's just so excited to see his wife to be.
FormerRei@mobile
OH DESIRE!
ToN
hey tilde
Anno
Geez louise man your cable management is atrocious
ToN
now can i spray my compressed air in here safely
Anno
>>884097 If your PC is unplugged and has been not running for a while, it should be cool enough (the electricity running through the components will generate heat, naturally) that the temperature difference between the cold compressed air and the components shouldn't create moisture. >>884099 Hm, I'd give it a bit more time. Honestly i don't know how long it takes for a PC to idly dissipate heat but it doesn't hurt to be safe. Maybe wait another five/ten minutes and use the time to move it somewhere in your room you can take a thorough look at it to make sure things are still mounted and plugged in properly.
ToN
for a couple minutes? its unplugged from power and switched off (as in the power supply switch not just the power button)
ToN
yeah everything looks good to me so ill just wait a minute
Anno
I can't tell for certain from the photo but if those cables are resting on top of your GPU it might be creating just enough slight force that it's not 100% perfectly set in the expansion slot. Which might be why your PC has had problems outright detecting your GPU in the past? That's the one problem I have the hardest time understanding since that really doesn't sound like an overheating issue.
ToN
the graphics card is screwed to the back of the case too for what its worth
Anno
Yeah, that's pretty standard, but I could imagine that enough force put on the forward-right corner of the top of the GPU in your picture could be enough pressure to disconnect it on the right side ever so slightly. It shouldn't, but again, I don't really understand why you were having that problem.
>>884105 gigabyte, it extends below the gpu if you cant see it
FormerRei@mobile
>>884106 I meant mATX as in the motherboard form factor micro ATX Not the motherboard manufacturer
Anno
>>884104 Yes, providing the PC has had time to cool as before. Since it's been a long time since you've cleaned it out, if you have cotton swabs or Q-tips on hand, you might want something like that to maybe get at the more stubborn gunk. Just remember to be gentle. The CPU fan's not particularly delicate but it is mounted to your motherboard and you don't want to pressure it too much by pushing on the sides of the fan. You'll have a fair amount of room to rub the swab/Q-tip against the fan but just keep in mind to not push hard.
ToN
ill admit ive already finished dusting for now ill try for a more rigorous clean maybe if i swap stuff out or when i remember where my grounding wristband is or so
it started up fine so im happy ablut that
Anno
I didn't use a grounding wristband when assembling my PC and as far as I can tell everything worked out okay. There's a trick to grounding yourself before beginning and unless you're taking considerable breaks in the middle of assembling, most human beans don't generate a lot of static electricity just by moving around a room. Though I guess if the room's carpeted it might be a different story.
My current working theory is that by entering the game with Battler, Beatrice has already lost, because magic can not be made without risk, and the only risk available to her is Battler proving what she claims to do with magic can be done without magic. That is, nothing she does with her magic can be impossible for a human to achieve during this game.
S C
By extension, introducing herself as a game piece was not an attack, but an act of desperation. A human must be available to plausibly commit these crimes.
S C
Of course, getting an answer as to whether I'm right or wrong would spoil the fun of the VNs, and I still have many to go So
S C
It also doesn't fit the first VN, so it's not like it's fully fleshed out, anyway
Anno
Well just don't forget, witches don't exist
S C
I think witches exist in umineko, but being a very well constructed piece of art, witches cannot prove their own existence within the canon
S C
Truly her father's daughter, by the way *cackle**cackle*
Anno
But what if Rosa was Beatrice all along
S C
Well, that wouldn't make much sense, would it, since she insisted to stay together in the parlor, and was there while the servants saw some Real Shit happen in the servants' room
Anno
Can you trust the furniture to not be unfailingly loyal to the true Ushiromiya successor though?
S C
I suppose they could in fact, by recognizing Beato (who is Rosa) as having the same rank as Kinzo, obey without fail, even assisting in the murder of Ushiromiya family members when ordered It would certainly explain Kinzo's disappearance in the first VN if the servants opened the door, and being intimately familiar with the mansion, noticed the receipt even, putting it back afterwards In fact, anyone who coaxed Kinzo out of his study would have been able to notice it and put it back, and while Eva claims it was in the exact same spot, it's not like we can trust her ability to have that keen a recollection, it could easily be in a spot very closely approximating it hmhm
S C
Of course, Rosa died in the first VN, but only servants ever re-entered that area, and besides Beato could have been someone else then
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\

Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE

S C
She's fucking unhinged! And that's cool!
S C
I guess now I gotta read the tea party again
Anno
Tea Parties and ??? often have valuable information, and Tea Parties in particular are pretty much a final chapter that honestly it's kinda weird that they're set up like post-credits scenes. It made the most sense in the first Episode since we spent the entirety of the actual game on Rokkenjima but from the second Episode onwards it constantly flip flaps between Rokkenjima and the meta-world that the line blurs.
S C
>>884147 Well, the tea party isn't actually the meta-world proper, it's purgatory, soemthing between the two It's a detached afterlife From there, Battler was dragged into the meta world by Beato, who seemingly hops between the three at will
The person who started alongside me at work actually quit today Day 2 Before lunch And then I got my first sale very soon after
>>884170 It's sales, office supplies, but starting out we're just selling disinfectant stuff Most sales jobs, I'd be hesitant to accept, because they usually have pure compensation arrangements, but this pays like $1500ish a month plus 7% compensation, and you can go for a higher compensation for lower guaranteed pay if you want, after you start selling enough that those arrangements are better for you financially The guaranteed payment is nice cause it gives me the feeling that my boss is just as invested as I am in me succeeding After all, with pure compensation, it doesn't matter to them financially whether I do trash or gangbusters But with a guaranteed paycheck, they've got a lot riding on at least getting me to cover that
Is phone sales though, so it's kinda tough But I've never felt as good at work as I did when I got that first confirmed sale today And now I want more
FormerRei@mobile
>>884171 Are all your co-workers white? I want to know if its like sorry to bother you.
S C
Ya, but I have 2 co-workers A lot of the white voice is still present though, even if we're all white It's very important that you give off the impression that it doesn't particularly matter to you whether this sale happens or not, and in some ways you're calling for their sake Which, of course, both parties know is fucking bullshit, but it's about giving that impression, it communicates a confidence in what you're selling
Well, specifically I'm selling to accounting firms, but that's just cause I've been given that category so we're not overlapping eachother Another guy is selling to hairdressers, and another is selling to car dealerships atm I think But the two other guys have a lot of customers they already have a working relationship with, since they've been there for fucking years So a lot of their early part of the day is just calling up those people again and checking if they might wanna buy something again
I could kinda tell the girl who started with me wasn't gonna make it cause she's real shy on the phone, while I just don't fucking care I'm calling for a company, this is just work. If I piss off the person in the other end, they won't even remember me when I call them again in like, months from now, so who fucking cares, you know? Work isn't real life.
S C
That doesn't mean I'm happy she quit though! She was kinda fun But very shy when calling, but I guess this kinda job isn't for everyone. I can't even say if it's for me yet, even if I like it. My seniors are very supportive though, from what they say I'm on the right track and mostly just need experience, it's not expected for a newbie to be landing a buncha sales. My one sale was more than 2 of the 3 sales one of the other guys got today, after all, and he's been there for years (though, the manager's 1 sale was like 3 times what my 1 sale was) Yesterday even he didn't land a single sale though, so I'm happy with what I accomplished today And on average he gets 4-5 sales a day or something
I just wanna get good at this, both for the sake of the money and for the sake of having something I'm actually good at, something that isn't just video games and stuff
S C
Ah I see She's not an expy at all, is she?
Anno

I found something interesting. https://kamelrechner.eu/en
Anno
The fact that the new Higurashi has made it clear they're doing something weird has sparked a lot of new conversation and return to theorycrafting about the link between it and Umineko. I'd forgotten that the Umineko manga, because of its
Anno
heavier reliance on visual information, since, y'know, it's a manga, has much more clear cut hints and references to certain aspects of Higurashi. And it's not like the Umineko manga is non-canon or anything. Ryuukishi presided pretty carefully over its production so it's probably safe to assume additional details that were added in it are intentional.
S C
I'm still just waiting for Higurashi2020 to do something truly unsuspected, so I can drop a real hot and spicy "how it started, how it's going" meme

Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
These two people have some of the lowest INT I have ever seen in my life. Amelia is just the one of the absolute stupidest people I have ever seen. It's astonishing. But Kiara is extremely stupid, too. She has no sense whatsoever. Probably higher INT than Amelia but lower WIS.

over 30 minutes of this wretched game
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
If I weren't sitting in my office right now, I would absolutely be screaming at this game.
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
after 30+ minutes of play this is what they have. no one has moved a pawn in like 10 turns
The issue for me is that they didnt know the concepts (checkmate, promotions) kinda the same that's happening with Kiara and 3 houses, she's not reading the tooltips.
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
Right? They were like, oh we don't have to read the rules, we know how to play. WHY CAN'T I MOVE THIS PAWN TWO SPACES? WHAT CAN THE ROOK DO? WAIT, YOU CAN PROMOTE TO A QUEEN?

The only reason they didn't immediately put themselves in checkmate is any move that puts your king in check is invalid and can't be played

The last 6 years of my life have been pretty lifeless.
Anno
My parents want to do the final move of everything out of this house up north tomorrow, so it looks like a bunch of my mom's girlfriends came over to give her one last big "we'll miss you!" (despite that my mom will still be living in the city, albeit different neighbourhood, since she works as a teacher). But it's also still the era of Covid-19 so none of them can get too close to one another, and in addition it's a dreary, rainy fall day today. So they're just all gathered in a circle outside in their respective raincoats and umbrellas talking to each other. It's all very witches' coven-y.
!C0.PerkELE
beware they might sacrifice you

I'd prefer it to having to do all the heavy lifting of moving tomorrow, yes please.

What the hell is happenin today. The accident this morning, the dizzy spells, just various weird stuff at work, having to cover an extra group, colleague's eye randomly swole up and she had to go to the ER, and now a former client is calling me to tell me he just got fucked over by his landlord and is suddenly homeless

>>884637 By my understanding, yes, you are supposed to wait. The game isn't structured for you to just rush all the content and finish what they've put out in like a week of hardcore playing. It's possible, sure, but you're not playing how it was designed so it's kinda hard to say whether or not it's going to be a fun experience. At the least, it's entirely on you if it's fun or not and not the devs' attempts to make it fun. You're free to grind what's available to you but as it seems you've quickly found out, it's not much fun to do that.
wait you guys play among us? do you use like the in-game text chat? i wonder what that's like i'm much better at lying when you can hear my voice i kinda suck at lying over text if i'm real about it
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
the text is not good and also bad
Anno
I'm pretty good at impulse-level lying, providing I have a bit of preparation or comfrot -comfort in the environment. Be it text or voice I think I could insist things are true.
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\

I'm also pretty good at telling the truth convincingly! My capacity to be persuasive is like my only really developed survival skill.

I'm great at lying in theory bt horrible in practice. Ah but I'm great at lying by omission.

It's too early for ramen! It's only 8am! Breakfast ramen?!
Anno
Time has no relevance to when I eat food! I'll eat any food at any time in any season!
But I'd probably have a hard time finding a ramen place open this early in the morning, yeah. My desire for ramen could wait for a better time when there's somewhere actually open. Too bad there's no time for that sorta thing today.

Digging through my cabinet, I found my graduation year yearbook from elementary school. Apparently they had us list our favourite memory, where we'd be in fifteen years, and our wish for the world. Also pic of me at like age ten.
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
You wanted to be an archeologist or something?
Anno
Apparently! I don't really remember that one but it's hard to deny it when you see ten-year-old writing it down for the records. When I wasn't all "yeah I'm gonna be a writer when I grow up" I think I was interested in investigative stuff. Had a bit of a phase where I really dug detective work too. So this kinda lines up with it.
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
There's kind of a pattern to all those jobs, which is interesting. At least you're consistent!
ToN
every day happy
Anno
There was also this picture book with this fucking weird alligator back there too. I guess it must've been my favourite picture book when I was really young or something, for it to be left with me and not a general family storage.
Anno
And also a birthday present book from when I was two years old that was a personalised book, that subs in your name for the main character and lets the gifter pick a couple other names for characters in the story too. It's corny material suitable for a two-year-old who probably doesn't get more than their name being read out of it. But it's still a cute gift.
Anno
Also there was six dollars in commemorative quarters in that cabinet too. They're probably not worth anything special but maybe I'll take a look at it when I have a chance.

There's a big bottle of Jack Daniel's in one of the baskets of stuff being brought up north. Like one of those party sized bottles for people that want cheap whiskey for a lot of people. BUt I don't recall ever seeing us have something like that before. Picked it up, and on the label is another label saying "OLIVE OIL" on it. But I can't help but feel that the second label may get missed if that bottle isn't stored carefully.

No nap in sight any time soon, nope. Providing I don't just topple over or trip going up the moving truck ramp and knock myself out. Which feels preferable at this point.

S C
But I have to succeed at this
I have to and I want to I want to have a future
Anno
Well, you're not going to convince someone that doesn't want to buy something to buy something. All you can hope is that they want to buy something, and then encourage them to shop YOU. You don't really strike me as the kind of person that could really do the "All these people are just marks for me to play" for very long, so I think accepting that some people are going to just be uninterested in your product is inevitable.

The real secret to confidence is that only stupid people have a lot of confidence. Everyone else is just pretending to have confidence. It's all about faking it until you make it. Isn't it silly? That's how it is, though.
I'm lucky enough to be stupid enough to be full of confidence, but part of that is because I only care about enjoying myself. If I fail or if I succeed, I know I can still enjoy myself either way. As long as I just give my all, I'm bound to have fun.

Success without failure is even worse than failure! And it's just a matter of perspective, you know? Life can be fun and exciting even when everything is horrible. When I got kicked out of my graduate program, havign already completed almost all of my requirements for my doctorate, I was pretty upset, but I was also happy to be upset, and within a half hour or so, I was laughing and having fun, even though I wanted to scream too. Those kinds of complicated emotions are what it means to be human!
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
Actually, a lot of the time, when something stressful happens, I get so excited that I have to laugh. It just feels so good to feel. Especially anything strong. Intense fear, intense anxiety, intense sadness, intense joy, all of it is really exciting.
