Q: meaning of だけど in this context

torajurorecently I started watching samurai champloo & someone asked mugen for his name. he answered: ムゲンだけど I was wondering what the role of だけど in this context was. I thought maybe it's the same as adding "..." after mugen in English.

Q: Why can't the top demon can't control Liebe?

Itoh AtsushiMy question is if the Demon Lord in the past can control the null magic demon Liebe when he was with Asta's mother. Why can't he control him when he is fighting with Asta on they're Black Bull's Base while being inside the spade kingdom's top tier fighter?

@hyper-neutrino even then, the characters aren't perfectly equal. Kaeya would still have the stamina passive, Amber her gliding one. Apparently, artifacts work too.
Now, I don't think that artifacts have effect that can influence the game but... "Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds" on Mona should work.
already faster than anyone else, and now with a +10% on top.
Take that away too?
Well, then you have the fact that character height sightly influences speed too.
The only way the game would be perfectly balanced wold be forcing everyone to use "equivalent" characters.

> In a review of the first volume from Anime News Network, Rebecca Silverman called the series "a nice little story with humor and a distinct lack of cruelty that doesn't break any new barriers but is definitely fun to read."
Faye Hopper considered that it is hard to tell if the humor of the series lies in Komi's "seemingly outlandish, absurd behavior" or if it is a "legitimate depiction of anxiety that we laugh at because we relate." Hopper also called the character of Najimi a "transphobic punchline", criticizing the jokes about their gender fluidity, calling them "extremely tasteless" an…

Q: should i read the Tokyo Ghoul manga?

SiGuy_ 18To be honest I live in a country were copyright is strict, because I'm a Crunchyroll user and due to copyright I cant watch Tokyo Ghoul and I don't feel like buying a VPN, so I was wondering should I just buy the manga of Tokyo Ghoul?!

@SPArcheon yeah that's true
mona's sprint specifically just feels broken :p
all of the other passives are like
obviously existent, but not nearly as imbalanced
 
SPArcheon
SPArcheon
@hyper-neutrino Wouldn't really say 10% reduction on stamina in a running&climbing event isn't relevant. Furthermore, stamina=>statue of seven=>new players already have less stamina
 
hyper-neutrino
hyper-neutrino
I agree with that but it's still not as big of a problem. then again TBH mona's sprint is hard to control and sticks to like every ledge in the game so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
yeah the statue thing is def true
rebels can't really outrun the hunter anyway but it still is something to note
anyway, i had a game as hunter yesterday and i played tartaglia as i usually do for hunter
all three rebels went mona
i won in 1 min 11s :P
 
SPArcheon
SPArcheon
@hyper-neutrino HAHAHAHAHA the old mith that Mona dash enemy are ledges :P
Listen: Stairs... maybe. Ledges... not if you know what you are doing.

I personally had the chance to try her in Dragonspine in ... 1.2?.
I will say just this:
 
hyper-neutrino
hyper-neutrino
12:48 PM
heh, don't get the reference, once again :'(
 
SPArcheon
SPArcheon
Somehow, she can dash up ledges that other have to climb.
the dash has very weird physics in the game, don't underestimate what it can do.
there is a certain slope angle that forces you into climbing from walking, but apparently Mona dash as a greater tollerance.
 
SPArcheon
SPArcheon
1:08 PM
other weird lore tidbits.
Interesting, because the idea of Celestia being a prison / trap is there once again.
 
hyper-neutrino
hyper-neutrino
ah, okay. I just don't use Mona often enough to be able to understand how it works lol
anyway, that's a cool theory
i'll read more into it later but
yeah after seeing the theory about celestia being a prison and noticing the fact that it doesn't look like a "heaven"-like place at all from the comics i can't unsee that lol
 
SPArcheon
SPArcheon
@hyper-neutrino The intriguing part is not that though, the intriguing part is the one about death.
 
hyper-neutrino
hyper-neutrino
well yeah
 
SPArcheon
SPArcheon
That because it weirdly matches the lingering idea that I had too.
 
hyper-neutrino
hyper-neutrino
the theory and evidence presented here is really cool tho. but yes, qiqi exists :P
 
SPArcheon
SPArcheon
1:21 PM
The point is not Qiqi.
or not in the way you probably think
Qiqi shows that you can keep someone alive - and btw she is very depressing too because her body his dead.
 
hyper-neutrino
hyper-neutrino
yeah. i would hardly call qiqi reincarnated; it's not so much a rebirth as just bringing her back to the edge of death and keeping her body like that
 
SPArcheon
SPArcheon
Yep, would be nice if the plot had her being fixed somehow (Albedo? ) but I don't have much hope on that regard since she is a reference to the Jiangshi
> The characters for "jiangshi" are read geung-si in Cantonese, cương thi in Vietnamese, and gangsi in Korean.
 
hyper-neutrino
hyper-neutrino
yeah
 
SPArcheon
SPArcheon
and notice it sounds "qiqi" too.
but not the point.
the point oddly is what I mentioned yesterday - odd coincidence.
 
hyper-neutrino
hyper-neutrino
well it does sound kind of like that but qiqi has a specific other meaning that is a reference to something - you probably already know but if not i can explain
 
SPArcheon
SPArcheon
1:29 PM
yesterday, by SPArcheon
Which brings another question. Why do the adeptus keep people alive after death?
So, an adeptus had some reason to keep Qiqi alive.
 
hyper-neutrino
hyper-neutrino
weren't they the ones who (accidentally) killed her?
 
SPArcheon
SPArcheon
> This ancient story has long been forgotten by mortals.

An ordinary herb-picking lass named Qiqi lost her way and trespassed the realm of the adepti. Injuring her right leg in a fall, she hurriedly hid in a cavern to rest.

Even occupied as she was in bandaging her wound, she could hear sounds that did not belong to the mortal plane. But she could have never expected that with a huge crash, she would forever be trapped between life and death.

Whether adepti or demons, just or wicked, all understood that she was an innocent mortal caught in the crossfire.
not clear.
Caused it in some way for sure, but was injured before.
But remember that Xiao too for some reason "tolerates" (if not actively like - it is Xiao, he talks in grunts) that Dusk ghost linger around the Inn
(Notice: it is also quite clear that Xiao prefers the kids to the adults, because he sees them "less evil". Try talking to the girl just outside Qingce about the "young adepti with a lance" that brought back her doll)
I wonder if Xiao is full aware of the Celestia trap and is keeping Dusk here to avoid her ending up there too.
And about the trap...
Time -> Life -> Paimon.
Are we sure that the Hilichurls not having a concept of time isn't because they are always the same hilichurls you kill every time?
Is the "respaw" actually lore here?
In that case, the imaginary ruin guard from Timmy is indeed the father.
I heard that Honkai lore is pretty.... dark.
Now, figure if Genshin ended up with discovering that the monsters are actually spirits of the death.
 
hyper-neutrino
hyper-neutrino
1:44 PM
i've seen people mention xiao as the one who injured/killed qiqi but i haven't seen any supporting evidence
interesting about xiao disliking the adults more though - didn't know about that
i don't think i've ever talked to that girl before if i've seen her
do you think hilichurls are like
every time they die they reincarnate just to die again?
maybe that's part of their curse? idk
monsters don't respawn in the domain (well ignoring new waves) so do the broken symbols have something to do with that?
 
SPArcheon
SPArcheon
@hyper-neutrino and then you press X and the domain is started again... and again.. and again...
 
hyper-neutrino
hyper-neutrino
mhm
 
SPArcheon
SPArcheon
Btw, if that is a thing, not just the hilichurls.
Every single not-pure-energy enemy.
 
hyper-neutrino
hyper-neutrino
right
 
SPArcheon
SPArcheon
The hilichurls could be the only humanoids that someone studied enough to notice something off
because they have some "culture" that the humans could recognize.
@hyper-neutrino this is the one.
Considering it must be Xiao, it is weird for him to go out of his way to fetch a doll.
 
hyper-neutrino
hyper-neutrino
1:55 PM
i honestly don't know if i've seen her before; i think she has a reused model so i can't tell just from the appearance alone :p
name is not familiar though
but yeah for xiao to do something like that is definitely out of his character. interesting
 
SPArcheon
SPArcheon
That said, it is also the usual stupid "npc don't acknowledge you" thing (unless that is actually lore like we joked some time ago).
"HERE, it costed about 14k primos but here is your adeptus in front of you. Now both of you please smile while I take a picture"
... and then you realize that Xiao ships with 4 facial expressions: serious, serious, serious and serious.
so here goes the hope for a picture.
 
hyper-neutrino
hyper-neutrino
lmao, very true :p
does diluc smile?
i don't use the camera thing often. iirc qiqi doesn't either (makes sense)
 
SPArcheon
SPArcheon
> In one version of "Guest from Afar," Verr Goldet refers to Xiao as "the young gentleman" and requests that the Traveler deal with the monsters in the area, because Xiao's "method of dealing with monsters tends not to consider the best interests of the surrounding area or the people in it."
Similarly, in one version of "Business in a Marsh," Huai'an implores the Traveler to eliminate the monsters before "the young gentleman" can grow "upset" by them, because "when something upsets him, it usually ends up upsetting the rest of Dihua Marsh too."
this is standard Xiao work method.
And yet the doll survived.
(and yet he cared about getting it back in the first place, and tracing the owner too.)
The guy clearly think that it is the adults to blame for wars and such.
 
hyper-neutrino
hyper-neutrino
does he have any other known interactions with any of the kid NPCs?
but yeah that's definitely a bit strange for him. but considering kids are innocent after all especially when it comes to stuff like wars and such that makes sense
 
SPArcheon
SPArcheon
2:12 PM
Nope that I know off. But for example Beidou mentions this.
> One year on the eve of the Lantern Rite, we ran into a storm as we were returning to port. Try as we did, we only made it back to Liyue Harbor in the dead of night, long after the lanterns had all been released. As I looked towards Guyun Stone Forest, I saw an adeptus, floating in the air, in the form of what appeared to be a young boy. I guess it is like the legends say — there really must be those that watch over Liyue, even if they cannot be seen.
and that means that the story "I never watch the lanterns, but if you really have too I will watch from the inn that is separated from the harbor by A BIG TALL MOUNTAIN" was an utter lie he made up because he desperately tried to have the Traveler just give up.
Normally, he went over the sear to the stone forest and watched the lanterns from there.
So, the guy is pretty an adeptus at avoiding social interactions too

@SPArcheon Regarding Komi, I think it's hard to say. I'd lean towards it being a good thing, raising awareness and educating the public (it starts out with a helpful definition of communication disorder). And I don't find it mean-spirited or offensive. Checking reviews here, there are some excerpts I'd like to share barnesandnoble.com/w/komi-cant-communicate-vol-1-tomohito-oda/…
moonfox1234's is mostly positive: "While I liked this manga overall, I did have complex feelings about it ... On the other hand, there were some weird moments that didn't exactly click with me." I think this is pretty accurate for me as well. Tarnit_Argent has a negative review: "I honestly didn't like this one. I don't like its message, that introversion is a negative trait that needs to be fixed. Why can't the message ever be about the benefits of quiet introspection? "
So, it's kind of hard to say.
 
SPArcheon
SPArcheon
Can't comment I fear, I don't know the story.
 
Shaymin Gratitude
Shaymin Gratitude
Yeah, but you said you were worried. I don't think it's worrisome, but I guess it's hard for me to say for absolute certain.
 
SPArcheon
SPArcheon
@ShayminGratitude To clarify what I mean is that Big Bang Theory apparently started as "the protagonists are different but that is not bad" and slowly turned into "the protagonist need to grow up and become normal like the others"
My "worry" is that this one too "blames" the girl for being "wrong"
but most of the reviews seems to point to it not being the case.
 
Shaymin Gratitude
Shaymin Gratitude
As far as Big Bang Theory goes, I actually have selective mutism, and it definitely irritated me that they used it exclusively so that Raj couldn't talk to the opposite gender. Such a narrow definition really feels inaccurate, though I suppose it is technically within the world of possibilities.
From "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raj_Koothrappali" : "Until the season six finale, Raj's principal characteristic was his inability to speak to or around unrelated women, a medical condition known as selective mutism"
I mean, they've just gone ahead and defined it as that on his wikipedia page, which just goes to show you what's wrong with portraying selective mutism in this way.
This is not the definition.
 
SPArcheon
SPArcheon
@ShayminGratitude that is one of the point, yes. That said, I was thinking of even a larger issue. Not only the depiction of some actual serious issues some may have is many time oversimplified or played for laugh (like Sheldon ocd)
 
Shaymin Gratitude
Shaymin Gratitude
2:39 PM
Yeah.
 
SPArcheon
SPArcheon
But that is the tip of the iceberg: we go from some of the older episodes having the main group playing with kites, getting ridiculed for that but in the end "winning" in their "old enough for fairy tales" view.... to the ending who is basically a "adult kids growing up" thing
So, now they are at fault for being childlike, and at the same time unrelated medical conditions are implicitly tied to being childlike.
@ShayminGratitude And he gets cured too! How? At first, he is able to talk while DRUNK. Then he starts to talk to Penny while sad.
 
Shaymin Gratitude
Shaymin Gratitude
Oh, yeah. I haven't seen a lot of Big Bang Theory, but I do remember that.
 
SPArcheon
SPArcheon
So, in both cases, the thing is played like his fault. Suggesting that wine lowers inhibitions and makes him talk is already odd... but then he talks to Penny while crying just because he was so distracted he didn't realize he was talking to a female
So, everyone who has selective mutism, just imagining to be talking to someone else is the solution (at least for Big Bang Theory)
not that great.
So, I hope it is clear now - nothing against the manga you mentioned, it is just that I already saw similar attempts flop.
 
Shaymin Gratitude
Shaymin Gratitude
Yeah. Valid complaints. I remember that Sheldon finally realized he shouldn't be acting all unemotional, which he'd learned to do from Spock, if I recall the content of the episode, towards the last season. I definitely disliked that part too.
 
SPArcheon
SPArcheon
The characters are off too. The moral standards are different for different characters, the show is a mess.
Wil Wheaton starts as detestable, suddenly becomes friendly. At the same time the game shop owner never gets a redemption, is detestable, scams the protagonists multiple times but still tries to play out as a victim.
Sheldon is basically thrown out his own house by his closest "friend" Leonard. While the thing has some reasoning (the idea was to switch house with Penny), remember that Sheldon is the original owner and Leonard the one who came later.
Yet the fact that Sheldon isn't that fond of moving out is still played like his issue.
 
Shaymin Gratitude

@SPArcheon Yeah, I get where you're coming from. It seems like sitcoms usually don't handle social issues very well (possibly because they have to play everything up for laughs). They just end up amplifying negative sentiments that the public has. For instance, if you don't have a significant other, you're a loser (that one in particular is pretty essential to the sitcom, actually).

@ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ I can't tell if you're talking about IRL or in a game or smth :P
 
ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ

IRL lol

ah
curtains are good to have :P
 
ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ
ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ
yeah
would be cool to avoid getting stalked
 
hyper-neutrino
hyper-neutrino
also if you ever want to sleep in lol
 
ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ
ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ
hyper same, but that quality in my answers ends up getting me upvotes (then rep obv)
i came here to answer questions but didnt know about the rep system
 
hyper-neutrino
hyper-neutrino
yeah, exactly. i mean like, quality will give you rep, which is why I think to focus on quality and the experience
 
ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ
ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ
10:11 PM
i just saw it as a cool affect
ye
i mean short answers can be perfect quality
(e.g. every answer in the music tag)
 
hyper-neutrino
hyper-neutrino
I guess this is more applicable to our site since we have a significant issue where answering really fast with something trivial tends to give you rep faster than quality / high effort answers, at least relative to the effort required
well, "what is this" questions often don't leave room for an answer to be more than "it's ___" lol
 
ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ
ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ
i'm pretty sure thats where most the answers i flag come from
yeah the music tag is a prime example
well if id requests were removed for showing little research then i dont see why the music tag even exists
cause its just " whats the song at xyz link at 2:20"
i bet that most of the id requests are from people who neglected to reverse image search
which couldve solved their entire question
without going to some site that sees it forbidden

@hyper-neutrino On the one hand, I've found a way to game the HNQ system on my site... but, like you, I find answering interesting questions far more fulfilling
 
hyper-neutrino
hyper-neutrino
unfortunately it does make more sense to ask for anime/manga identification on, well, anime/manga than SFF
 
ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ
ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ
exactly
althou it was removed because it shows little research
i mean this is about anime and manga here lol
we cant be taking it like disclosed goverment information

@Peilonrayz yeah, exactly. we have a significant FGITW and HNQ effect where you can game the systems to get a lot of upvotes/rep for comparably less effort, so effort doesn't always correlate to the numerical reward
hence why I found it better to focus on the rewarding feeling of solving a problem more than the reward in the form of internet points
 
ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ
ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ
why i dont use reddit
 
hyper-neutrino
hyper-neutrino
reddit is... an interesting place
 
ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ
ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ
i dont see why people take reputation as an important thing
 
hyper-neutrino
hyper-neutrino
well karma doesn't really give you anything
SE's whole model is built around reputation => privileges
 
ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ
ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ
once you can answer all questions i really dont see a point of caring about it
community helps community is what i interpret
so wtf is internet points some peoples top priority
just dont get it
i mean its cool and nice to have but aint the point to answer or ask questions :/

@hyper-neutrino I'm guessing you're more a fan of Tetris/Conway's game of life questions
 
hyper-neutrino

@Peilonrayz yeah those are amazing to look at. i still go back and look through the answers every now and then and admire them :P

Welcome to A&M manga. If you want to learn more about autism and be more aware, consuming fictional media is probably not a good place to start. That aside, recommendation questions are off-topic anyway. – hyper-neutrino 3 hours ago
A&M manga lol
 
hyper-neutrino
hyper-neutrino
oops
yeah this is why I usually use autocomment templates
to avoid making typos from repeating the same thing too many times and getting words mixed up
 
Peilonrayz
Peilonrayz
@ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ You can easily see reputation, rather than ambiguous things like "site impact". Makes for an easier goal to reach. For example the easiest goals for me is now 50k then 100k... I've got everything else

oh I can't edit it anymore. oh well. could get a mod to but not gonna bother
i could also delete it, doubt anyone would notice

@ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ You'd be suprised. I remember one time, a user was suspended for trying to manipulate rep.
 
ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ
ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ
lmao
 
hyper-neutrino
hyper-neutrino
getting suspended for manipulating rep is fairly common, lol. at least as far as suspension reasons go, from what I can see
 
ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ
ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ
i hate how people who could've been community-impacting just pack up and leave the site because they couldn't figure out their waifu
honestly sad
but not that we can do anything about it
questions formatted like this honestly make me laugh

I usually go to a certain discord for id requests.
They're reliable.
But the channel is NSFW.

oh you're in EST too? nice
 
ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ
ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ
yes
i know that utc is 4 hours ahead of est
which is why i first saw my consecutive days i thought the sites function of time was warped lol
i hadnt realized what time zone they use
 
hyper-neutrino
hyper-neutrino
ah lol
 
ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ
ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ
but seriously thou
even if the question is off topic theres no need to format it like:
"Greetings Earthlings! What manga would you say this mate comes from?"
like wtf lol
 
hyper-neutrino
hyper-neutrino
10:31 PM
eh. i usually just ignore strange wording because of either regional differences or someone might just not be proficient in english and I'll just ignore that
 
W. Are
W. Are
Definitely has impact, though.
 
hyper-neutrino
hyper-neutrino
unless of course it's so badly formatted that I literally can't understand what they're trying to say
 
ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ
ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ
yeah but sometimes
it just makes me laugh
 
hyper-neutrino
hyper-neutrino
true :p
 
ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ
ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ
its so cringe to the point its comically stupid
like i said before exclamation marks make me cringe for some reason
so if i see a "Hello!" or "Greetings!" i just laugh
 
hyper-neutrino

Interesting perspective, fellow Stack Exchange user! I can certainly see what you mean!
 
ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ

ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ
ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ
oh
i see
i consider 7:30 evening
i saw some reddit page called "do exclamation marks make you cringe?"
im gonna go look at that
it says
"Not nearly as much as the @ symbol. You're going to shorten a two letter word? Seriously?"
i understand that
