The Type-Moon Miscellaneous Thoughts Thread

That's right, Грозный/Grozny means more something like "terrific", but Japanese translation uses literal meaning. Type-moon is not the one who do that by the way, in Eiyuu Senki Ivan have sword in the form of lightning.

Yeah, it turns out that one line from Night at the Museum 2 was completely accurate. XD

Turpin would kick its ass

Turpin gonna be to Kangaroos like George is to monitor lizards.

I wonder if TM Turpin would also be a katana priest or if they would avoid it because Amakusa already fills that niche.

Don't let him hog the fun stuff

Like could you imagine somebody writing the song of Roland seeing a kangaroo, their head would frickin' explode.

Well they straight up thought they were being pranked when the first taxidermied platypus got sent back.

Playing taxidermy Frankenstein with the body parts of different species at that time was very hip and in, but still.

So, the existence of mithril has very few explanations.

Tolkien was the first one to spread this Magecraft secret into the public eye, which makes him connected to the world of Magecraft, or perhaps he literally invented mithril himself.

The Doylist explanation is obvious, but the Watsonian explanation must be wild.

A very funny and cute bark at 7:38. I wonder what bonus bosses Extra Record will have.



Meanwhile this is just pretty cool.

I was looking for that video to rewatch it and couldn't find it anywhere! Nice.

The plot of Tsukihime is just that Simpsons Halloween episode where Bart has an evil semiferal twin brother he didn't know about who's been living in the attic.

Clearly we need a route where SHIKI is reintegrated into society while Shiki gets locked up for his crimes.

That's just too perfect considering how that episode ended out.

The one with the fish heads? Funny, in the average household in China, it's quite common to eat not only fish heads but also fish skin. Ditto with chicken feet and chicken heads (my aunt who recently came to the US got culture shock where she could only buy headless chickens; not as bad as my college economics professor from Italy, though, using nuts sold without shells as "proof" of American laziness).

Chicken feet is a more Cajun tradition in the US I recall.

And the fish heads in that Simpsons Halloween episode were raw and in a bucket.

There's a lotta little weird things in regards to food culture. Like Canadian bagged milk, waxy American chocolate, Columbian coffee for kids etc.

Isn't bagged milk just the milk version of Capri Sun? Does being in a bag change the taste or something?

Chicken feet are common enough in China to be called phoenix claws, to say nothing of a snake and cat bowl called a dragon and tiger bowl. Good point about the raw fish heads, though, given that pretty much no meat is eaten raw in China... Yes, for all those pescatarians, fish counts as "meat" in this context, given that it's a carcass.

Nah, it's 2 Litres across 3 bags. Means you have less open milk at a time.

I don't dream about Fate/ that much, but tonight was the night. It was a bizarro version of FSF. It was taking place somewhere Tweed Heads-esque. It was fun. It was exciting. Kayneth was there. He had a mysterious servant whose NP somehow involved the use of a detached-from-the-house garage.

And then my apartment's loudspeaker screamed out "THIS IS YOUR MONTHLY FIRE ALARM TEST, NO NEED TO REACT" and that was the end of that

But now I do want to see a servant with an absolutely massive, completely unlabelled, multistorey car park as their NP. Maybe somebody involved with mazes and/or treasure? That'd be funny.
