Illusion of Terra

I really enjoyed this week's episode, very easy-going. Why didn't they take the Holy Water right away though? Best part was when spear hero talked to Filo "I'll bet that Noafumi is working you like some sort of beast of burden" "But I like pulling the carriage a lot" "Naofumi, you swine, I'll cut you!"

I don't really have the time to do any gaming, but today I actually played a couple of minutes of Morrowind, a game I haven't played in almost 20 years now. I used to play it with a couple of friends back then and am quite surprised that I actually still knew quite a lot about it (loading screens, certain characters and location of stores etc)

Yo strwberrycyborg, there are other shonen fans here too Enjoy your stay here and bring some vegemite sandwiches

Gotta say though that I am now liking the show more than I did in the beginning. I still think that the whole young female companion thing is obsolete, but all in all the show seems to be getting better. Kinda like I didn't like My Hero Academia at first but now think it's great

I might go with Dragon Ball because there would be Shenron who you can ask for a wish. @efaardvark I think turning magic into a scientific discipline might be logically impossible. Not sure this is the right thread to debate it, but I guess magic would lie outside the proper bounds of scientific explanation.

@ArchieKun Went to the store today and actually looked at the ingredients of a couple of honey brands. Turns out they all are raw honey. It might be that if it is not raw honey they are not allowed to call it honey, because of EU regulations, which are usually quite strict when it comes to food. Anyway what most of them did say is that it is a mix of honey from many different hives. But yeah getting honey from a local beekeeper is probably the best way to go, even though it is more expensive

@Wraithkun I also really liked Naruto. I don't know many that are exactly like it but some that are a bit similar might be Hunter x Hunter, maybe Bleach, maybe One Piece, and nowadays Black Clover I would say which is in general quite similar in some respects. But I think none of them really manage to create the same kind of atmosphere as in Naruto

@Ohiotaku I think the whole cleaning the mess up by other heroes is some kind of plot device to show that they don't really care. So I expect more of it to follow, although I also don't think it would be too great of an idea. But let's see. The gif is great

I also think that both knew that the curse was from the shield but didn't want to tell the villagers. I have to say though, I kinda didn't like the whole explanation with the blood and Filo. That could have been done better I think. But overall quite a lot happened for just one episode. @Ohiotaku Your signature image really fits the show

I agree with @ArchieKun and @efaardvark about the Crunchyroll forum. I also think that their comment section on the videos they offer is sub-par. Although it is a little better now it is still not exactly brilliant. In general it seems that they need to hire a few more people to maintain the non-streaming parts of Crunchyroll.

@Nono Nah I was just curious of what people think who do not work in that area . If you work long enough in a field you tend to forget what people usually think about it and why. But yeah, the context thing is true. Although there was a case where a captain of a ship had to decide whether to let his crew die (who he knew) or all the passengers (who he didn't know). But generally these cases are very constructed I agree.

@Nono Why did you think they were silly? I'm not saying they are not, just wondering. Questions that are more or less like this are actually stuff that people have been debating for decades now, and quite a few earn their money trying to find answers to them.

Yeah the honey I get from the person owning his bees is darker in color but I am not sure exactly why. I know that commercially available honey is a mix of honey from bees of many different hives almost all over the world to guarantee that the taste almost always stays the same. Best thing is to make your own but who has the time

I didn't even know there was something such as non-raw honey. I've never seen honey that had anything added to it extra. I can taste a difference between honey that I buy in the store and honey I get from someone who has his own bees, but it is not THAT different when it comes to taste.

Photons are crazy in many respects. I once worked on trying to combine photons to create stronger ones which sounds a lot more exciting then it was.

I got a 62. As it turns out one of the fields I work in is moral philosophy (or applied as bioethics), so I knew the type of these scenarios. The game is a bit too simple but definitely interesting for people who like to get started in that kind of thing. One of my supervisors wrote a book on how people with different moral frameworks could/should interact with each other. Imagine someone thinks you should kill 10 people to save 1, and another that you should kill 1 to save 10, how are they going to find a solution if they have to? As it turns out something that is in principle similar to this happens quite often in everyday life of societies, so we kind of need a way to figure this out. And these scenarios in particular recently became quite important because people need to program self driving cars and, since they are engineers or tech guys, don't really know a lot about ethics, they don't really know how to program them. It's still an unanswered question which will need an answer soon though.

I had to look up silk milk. I actually was surprised and thought that it was milk made out of silk! Would have been interesting though. Elderberries and silk milk.

I think most Nintendo games, especially the older ones, are quite non-violent. The only problem is is that they often are rather expensive. But if you have the normal 2DS you can play old Gameboy and NES games which are quite cheap (but no SNES games.I think these only work on the 'new' 2ds). At least if the 'Virtual Console' function is still available. There are also programs/emulators which play old Nintendo games for free but I don't know how legal that is but I guess youtube will have plenty of videos of how to get and play them. But I think you can also play them online for free, just like flash games, nowadays. On the computer I think many games are rather violent. But there are those games where you build towns but I don't know how much those costs.

I know some people have been registered here for years and some are new. But how did everyone find Anime Forums? I wanted to watch some anime and talk about it which is why I went to Crunchyroll at first, for obvious reasons I guess. But I didn't really like the community there, so I simply searched for "anime forum" and stumbled upon this and thought it looked pretty interesting. I was right!

I hope not. There are enough dark anime right now and I really don't need another one.

What did you think of the new episode? Somehow I thought they would make more out of the crop thing.

I think that is a great idea. The writing section of the forum (https://animeforums.net/forum/106-writing/) is still quite empty and I know there are some people who enjoy writing!

Ah yes, the 90s, what a glorious decade it was. @Crevanille and I wanted to create a 90s village just the other day.

Oh, I see. I never looked what was there. I always pressed the button on the top right. Great to see that there already is such a function

So one of the functions I use the most is the unread content button on the top right. It shows me new posts etc. I also know that you can mark entire forum parts as read. But, is it possible to mark all as read in the unread content part? What I mean is to go to unread content and then mark all of them as read and that's it. Is that possible and I've just overlooked it? If not, and if it is not too much work and if it is possible, it might be useful I think.
