Nice doujin premise.

Yeah there was a great one where her dad walks in on her at the center of an orgy and tries to join in




oh wait that wasn't a doujin

[Zork Knight]

oh wait that wasn't a doujin

Was that in the Discovery ID show about cults?

[Wallacia]

i just read a 9 months of material (posts) since i was absent. and i have to say, good talk guys. this was very entertaining to read. especially around 7390 when leftovers and others started brainstorming nasu cosmology, then almost switched it off to canon about nasu ambiguity which was fun in its own way tho the lack of tobias in this thread leaves much to be desired.

tho to make relevance to me being here, would kirei beat kazuku. H2H wise

[Rafflesiac]

Depends. Is it the first fight and does he have the element of surprise?

random encounter, so kinda no surprise in there. unless you count the randomness as one

kinda feels this should be in VS thread

had the word 唯識 [yuishiki, 'consciousness-only' (yogacara buddhist doctrine)] been associated with mystic eyes at any point prior to it being used in the title of assassin shiki's NP in fgo (later used with archer fujino's NP as well)?

I am aware that ryougi's super moves in mbaa and f/extra employed several compounds including 識 [vijnana], e.g. muga-shiki and muku-shiki, but 唯識 was not one of them. also as far as I can tell the word does not appear in knk novel.

It seems to me that after exhausting KnK and Melty Blood [current expansion], the only other place Mystic Eyes could've been brought up is Tsukihime and KT.

not the specific word
but the idea is prevalent in mirai fukein and sanda tried to use it in rail zepplin

[Dullahan]

I am not convinced of the former. what did sanda try to do

[You]

"-Mr. El-Melloi II," she spoke.

"Humans are creatures that depend on information to live, yet are bound by that information until they die. Vision is the sense that acquires the greatest amount of information. As such, possessing Mystic Eyes means accepting being bound by them. Should you seek to acquire Mystic Eyes besides the ones we are after, I would implore you to think deeply on that."

"I appreciate your warning," my master nodded politely.

.

[Dullahan]

that is more of a general phenomenological statement about the limits of the experienced 'world', in the same sense as touko's dialogue in fukan fuukei about humans living inside their 'box'. there's nothing in that which is specific to the consciousness-only doctrine.

is Kiara actually good at programming or did she just ask someone to do the actual legwork?

for example, her whole therapy software thing. did she program it herself or did she just handle the basic theory and someone else did the coding?

being a strong wizard isn’t really about working in IT or being a Hollywood hacker anyway.

Hacking knowledge and skills are not particularly important for wizards, physical ability and mental prowess are far more useful.
Having magic circuits (also known as imaginary nerves) in your body, and the ability to clearly conceptualize your digital self is essential to help translate the true essence of yourself accurately into a digital image in the cyber world.
The way of conceptualizing one’s digital image differs from wizard to wizard.
There are a variety of methods; some use computer processing,
others use meditation to give birth to their image,
and some even take drugs to escape from reality.
In present day 2030 Viritual Spiritron hacking has become possible through an external interface, but magus-class hackers remain a rarity.

Is there any real difference between 神造兵装 and 神造兵器?

I always assumed that 神造兵器, meant to speak of a slightly smaller group, where these weapons, were in fact built by Gods or any secient being beyond human comprehension. but what ultimately had "someone's hands" involved in it, isolated from human participation.


And that 神造兵装, possibly, would allude to the explanation that Angra gives during HA, and would encompass the first group, plus anything else that went into the ideia Angra describes about. I felt that this is slightly reinforced, when 神造兵装 is always used in Excalibur materials, while it's not used for other Divine Constructs, who regularly use 神造兵器. And the CE kinda gave that feeling too.
In previous Interludes or chapters I remember see 神造兵器 be used sometimes. But in LB2 and 5 for example, 神造兵装 is used to refer to the Weapon that Hephaestus would make for us, and the weapons of the Greek Gods, just as it's also used to refer to Laevatein.


So, there's any real difference between those things? Or they're just different nomenclatures for the same things?

[AAM1232]

神造兵器 is used for stuff like Aegis and such, so I'd say that's the bigger group, while 神造兵装 would be the subset of that.

I recently realized that the Tsukihime Dokuhon says that a corpse become a Ghoul after their soul leaves the body while the VN says that a corpse become a Ghoul after the soul becomes fixed on the dead body. Which one is it?

There's this as well

Ghoul#report error
① Corpse Eating Demon
② When a vampire sucks blood, some vampire blood is left behind in the body of the victim, which prevents the body from completely dying despite being “killed.”
③ A few years after death the brain has completely rotted, but the soul remains affixed in the flesh.
④ Eats other corpses to restore its rotting body.
⑤ After completely restoring its body, the ghoul has matured to be a Living Dead.
⑥ About 1 in 100 people who have their blood sucked and die become ghouls.

Colorful MOON Tsukihime: Tsukihime Dictionary

My guess is that the fleshy cage which the soul is liberated from is the brain.

その後、遺体として埋葬されてから数年。脳髄が溶け、魂が肉体という檻から解き放たれて始めて食屍鬼（グー ル）として活動できる。

But that doesn't doesn't make too much sense because after being liberated from the brain the soul is affixed to another fleshy cage.
Anyway since vampires do have souls, it would have be the latter, the soul becomes fixed in the dead body.

[Mattias]

So it's basically Shirou Post HF True, where the soul is puppeting a meat sack, only since it wasn't specially made it rots away? And since the brain isn't really needed at that point it loses priority and that's why it will rot away but the limbs stay intact?

the tower Merlin is being imprisoned in is the same as the tower Rhongomyniad right?
