Dreamknife3yrReplied to DutyoliOh, I imagined it was like the gun locker in The Matrix.
Fwoom! The whole world shifted around himself… and then, he was standing within his own in-game storage vault!- Dreamknife3yrReplied to Overkill
His objective is to hoard stuff, not to avoid spending money on the game. If the stuff he wants costs money, he buys it, because he wants to have everything, even if he doesn't use it.
He had only needed one last push: The next time a major event had taken place, he'd have bought a bunch of gift bundles, and that should have given him the remaining Diamonds he still needed. - Dreamknife3yrReplied to Mute
In this context, 'that's that, whatever.' If you find any more phrases you don't understand, an internet search is likely to bear fruit. xD
"Holy crap! I'm actually inside the game right now! Well, that's as may be, I suppose… Back in the real world, I've got no parents, no house or car, no love life, and I'm stuck in a job that barely pays enough for me to stay alive. My only hobby is gaming…" - Dreamknife3yrReplied to Mute
to 'cast about' means to look around, correct. Search for this term ('define to cast about') to get recognised definitions with recent examples.
Sensing something amiss, he cast about frantically, and noticed that he was presently on an unfamiliar beach somewhere, surrounded by seashells and curious stones. An azure ocean undulated before him; behind him, a lush, impenetrable jungle. - Dreamknife3yrReplied to AghoraRudra
Very common construction, e.g. try searching for 'twelve years an outcast' or 'forty years a sinner'. Of course, 'The Ten-Year Hoarder' or 'Ten Years' Hoarder' would have worked, too.
Ten Years a Hoarder - Dreamknife3yrCommented
This is a real man.
But no, he wouldn't do that—the reason being that the Quest and Title systems were still active here, and the 'King of Hoarders' title could still be his, if he could scrape together two million Diamonds. He'd pursued this goal for ten years—he wouldn't abandon it now. - Dreamknife3yrCommented
Missed opportunity to use the standard six abilities from D&D...
Attributes: STR 4, AGI 4, CON 3, INT 3, WILL 4, CHA 5 - Dreamknife3yrCommented
This one threw me for a loop. xD
Except, you know… What sort of overweight loser can pull off such feats, when all they do is play games all day? - Dreamknife3yrCommented
Ready Player One xD
As per Zhang Yun's exposition, he was a completely unremarkable orphan who'd grown up living the hard-knock life, unloved and uncared for. The only joy he'd ever found was in virtual-reality worlds, exploring surreal and wondrous lands, chatting up friendly NPCs, and witnessing larger-than-life spectacles. - Dreamknife3yrCommented
Anyone remember when games let you choose different colours of blood (in case anyone was squeamish about that), like in the first Dungeon Siege? xD
As for his own body… The hair on his head was of different lengths; his blood ran red, rather than the inoffensive green stuff typically seen in the game; he felt pain when he got hurt. All this suggested that he wasn't just playing the game anymore. - Dreamknife3yrReplied to Pudor
Later in the series, it will be noted that Zhe Huo is in her late teens, Fei Zhao is a little boy (probably around twelve), and Wu Shan is likely in his early twenties. Luo Qinghan appears to be maybe six-years-old, and I'm sure no one has any reason to doubt that.
Ch 17 Suckling Babe - Dreamknife3yrReplied to thamaraisk
The child is a 狐狸精 fox demon, which typically takes the form of a very attractive young woman--but in this case, a little boy. If you'd like more illustration, highlight those Chinese words and search on Google Images. xD
It was a child, perhaps five years of age. In the dim light, she saw a head of chestnut-brown hair, a pair of delicate, pointed little pink ears standing straight up, and an exquisite, fair face—like that of a doll. His hair hung down over his brow, but two deep blue eyes shone through like stars, watching her through a sheen of tears.
