This LP is hilarious and actually convinced me to buy this game  Put me in as Boksi - or should that be something like I'unno, Bo Xi? No idea if that's a stupid name or not, I don't speak chinese.And an orrery is a miniature model of the heavens, and ours has those trigrams whose name I forgot which I think are also associated with heaven? So that probably makes some sense as a translation even if it's not 100% accurate.

Alright then. I was just curious if it stood for anything more specific. It looks like it could be, but at the same time I also couldn't quite figure out what it's supposed to be for just by looking. Nyaa posted:it's clearly correct since Happerry built it.

I had some questions about the game so I looked up a wiki and HOLY poo poo there are so many intricate mechanics to this that the LP hasn't even come into the realm of scratching the surface of. I hesitate to link it out of fear of massive spoilers, but it's very easy to find with a basic google search for those interested.

To throw my two cents in on the Orerry subject in terms of cultivation novels it's a Same poo poo, Different Name situation to me. The names and details change but every cultivation novel has one: a way to determine a person's aptitudes. It's basically just a minor fluff thing you have mentioned once typically and never again after that. When I get home, I'll probably make a post about The Dao and what it means/is to cultivation novels. I'll then follow up with another subject of the threads choosing from the following: Sects, Clans and Kingdoms Matters of Face Typical Cultivation Paths Vote now! Or don't! Make Nyaa pick if you're indecisive!

Does the holy poo poo translate to our team of dumbasses worshipping a turd log? I approve.

Been really enjoying this thread. May all luck come from the auspicious snake! I've been enjoying Coiling Dragon a lot less. Its just kinda...not written well. I can't tell if thats the translation or the actual writing. Its on Wuxiaworld so it should be a fairly good translation though.

Arcanuse posted:...So can we use our new treasure to, uh. Grow some kind of super-plant, or is it just going to be set on a podium to confuse/enlighten tourists? We've actually seen treasures in use. They're the glowing things flying around killing/destroying everything in the intro, and also what the friendly cultivator used to kill the bears/wolves/boars that attacked us before he left. They're essentially magical Predator Drones. Pharnakes posted:What drives such an insatiable demand for mediocre writing then? China has roughly all of the people, and Chinese people are just as fond of mediocre fantasy literature as the rest of the world.

So far 1 vote for Sects, Clans, and Kingdomsmcclay posted:Been really enjoying this thread. May all luck come from the auspicious snake! I don't know why people recommend Coiling Dragon as an introduction to xianxia. Try A Will Eternal instead, actual likeable MC and character development. Also generally appreciable comedy for any culture, not just Chinese.

 As the first generation cultivator of a newly formed sect, Hats will have to trove through a challenging path of cultivation without the guidance of a master or storage of helpful  However, every little comforts help paves for the mind and body towards success. Even the environment of rich Qi in his room can help boost his Qi regeneration. It won’t be long before he can attempt at creating the first holy treasure of the Cult of Bèn.  Our current priority is to rebuild the dining/entertainment house. Both to build interrelationship of the sect, and to prevent Hats from being ‘possessed by inner demon’.  It took way too long to squeeze this efficient building design without blocking the Snake Shrine and our sect stone that Slaan painstakingly built. Now everyone can enjoy a good meal togeth-  What!?  Where did all the food beside beef goes!?  *Sigh* Maybe it’s time for Slaan to work on a new sect stone instead.  It’s so moist that you could call it a pear soup.  Oh no! Two more mouth to feed!   Quick! Harvest all the Ginkgo fruit and pear in our surrounding!  A-and, NO! Rabbit is for CUTE, not Food! In fact, killing local wild life should be the last resort.  Everyone is going vegan for now until we come up with a new consumption agreement plan.  Our wheat should take about two more weeks to be fully matured.  In the meantime, Hats can survives by breathing. Now then, let’s welcome our new brothers! (No sisters)  First up, Covski’s father is the empire ambassador in charge of the western region. Traveling around the world with his father have filled Covski with interest and curiosity for the world. Tragically, he can’t talk to people.  Next, we have Blaze Dragon who is an orphan whom rough life has honed his physique and reflexes beyond those of the same age (which isn’t a lot for teens.)  Covski will be our backup doctor while Blaze Dragon is a competent craftman rivaling Cyflan. Our sect should have two competent people per role now.  One to covers the other in case of messed up failure.  Any new seekers of immortality will have to come by themselves by fortune and destiny upon our great sect rock with two welcoming podiums.    They will have to address us ten seniors of 4 Female, 5 Male, and 1 Female-in-progress.  WHAT!?  HOW!?  WHY!?   KILLED BY BAD FENG SHUI ROOM!?  Cyflan have an eye twitch two days ago and randomly become dull for a moment. A clear omen of bad feng shui.  The most concerning thing was Cyflan chatting with Arcanuse about Radio Free Kobold this morning. The topic was probably about beating Radio Free Kobold with a stick.  Then Arcanuse And that broke her heart.  Rest in peace, Cyflan. Do you want to go in a grave, tomb, or become farm fertilizer? You can pick the material too if you like.  You also have the honor of picking the location for our sect graveyard!  In the meantime, I will fix this DOOM HOUSE.  Even Hats’ room’s Feng Shui was lowered by one grade! What’s going on!?
