Ahti's name tag in the retirement home. He just...he just stuck that on there.

So Code Vein 2 is a thing I didn't think would actually happen. And yet here we are.

I guess I don't have all that much to say on this matter other then a little speculation and a small theory. The ps5 store description of the game is as follows.

And one of the creators of the game has also posted this message that shines a little more light as to what the plot of the game may entail.

So to me it looks as if the game will take place far in the future post true ending were Revenants have left the gaol. The Luna Rapacis (meaning greedy moon and lol to the ai over view)

I think is that big tower thing in the trailer because well it looks like a moon.

I am assuming that since time travel is now a thing that this is the future

And this is the past

Due to how less wrecked everything looks.

According to the summary you play as a Revenant hunter who hunts down Revenants, presumably those that have turned into Horrors (Horrors being notably what Revenants call the Aragami from the Godeater side of things. The creatures that according to the wiki appeared out of nowhere one day and who the Revenants were orginally created to fight. Please note I have never played Godeater and have to go off second hand information here.)

Your character being a Revenant hunter implies that the MC, who appears to be the sliver haired guy, may not be a Revenant themselves despite being able to use Revenant equipment (aka the veil) as shown in the trailer. Revenants also appear now to have golden blood and their hearts exposed.

Meaning that the character Lou is probably a Revenant and maybe one who has partially turned into a Horror. Though from what the wiki tells me it seems Aragami evolving into human passing forms is a thing that has occurred in the Godeater world. You can see in trailer that Lous legs are not encased in the gold metal. The gold metal appears to be her legs as you can see the grass behind her trough the gaps. Either she is an amputee or there is something more going on here.

The MC as well has a good heart exposed but its on the back of his jacket not exposed in his chest, so maybe he is using the heart of a Revenant in order to use Revenant abilities and equipment. It's also curious as to why his eyes are gold and he has a gold scar across his eye (though to be fair we don't know it we can create are own character in this game or not so his appearance might be irrelevant). His eyes also glow red when using the veil in the trailer like a Revenants does.

As for why everything is gold now...this is just pure speculation on my part but I blame this thing.

(Enjoy my MC. That one human girl totally stole my hair style.)

The golden blood bead that the MC is given at the end of the true ending because it's gold and has to be significant SOMEHOW.

And to conclude my thoughts I also have some thoughts on how I think the game might end. If Revenants do end up turning into Horrors, aka Aragami, like the description says and this game involves time travel I feel like I have to assume that somthing will occur that will send a transformed Revenant, possible Lou maybe our main, to the Godeater past and result in the sudden appearance of Aragami (aka transformed Revenants) in the first Godeater game. This would result in a kinda time loop/self fulfilling prophecy as Aragami appeared, Revenants were created to fight Aragami, Revenants turn into Aragami, Aragamied Revenants end up in the past causing the plot of Godeater/Code Vein to happen, rinse, cycle, and repeat.

I still don't know how I feel about that if that ends up being true. I don't think I like it. It also confused me how Revenants could turn into the super organism that Aragami are but am sure that can just be handwaved or maybe Aragami are multiple merged Revenants???? Idk just going off what information is available currently and my own overly occupied with this brain.

Wow, looks like I was mistaken about not having much to say. I even hit the photo limit! Kudos if you made it to the end. Thanks for indulging me. Edits will come as I try to correct my spelling and grammer mistakes.

Edit: I am now the owner of Godeater Resurrection and Godeater 3 (2 was way too expensive). /falls deeper into the code vein verse.

So I was in the really glitchy runway area, fell through the floor, and was tired of playing so I just logged off. The next day I logged in to find I was still stuck in the floor and decided to teleport out to the guild office to un stick myself and uh this happened.

He had no eyes, no nose, no inner ears, and no hooves. I could also run around and jump with him still stuck on me.

I then went into a puzzle area and things took a turn for the worse.

Yes that is his tongue and bottom jaw just hanging out on the side there. You can't see it in the pic but some of his feet are also long and twisted. He even was still there in Momo form.

In all my years of gaming this is officially the weirdest glitch I've ever come across and I've had an entire map go off center before.

To be clear its fixed now but I just...I can't even with this. (Crys with tears of laughter.)

Found this in the janitors room in Alan Wake 2 dark realm.

Translation: The dawn reveals what the darkness is jealous of.

Translation: It's not so dark that it can't get any darker.

The one with the tree makes me think it's control related. The statements are vague and might not mean anything but I found them interesting.

If possible can you do servamp guidebook english translations , especially for question n answers part ......

Sure, although I'm more of an listening translator instead of reading, so I can only share the tidbits I find interesting (and sorry that it's mostly Mikuni)

Read here! I find sharing my gdocs would be neater than a long tumblr post ^^;

Also feel free to kindly correct me if you find any mistakes. And I'd like to thank @kitty-ashh for sharing the QnA pages 🫶

Translation of Servamp drama CD in the final manga volume

Law: Nii-san！Nii-san Kuro: ……Umm？ Law: Really, when did you start sleeping? Law: Lawless-chan has come to visit you Kuro: …Oh—Lawless, What's going on, am I dreaming? Law: Dreaming? Kuro: I recalled some things from the past Law: I see Kuro: …no, It's okay Law: Well, I understand. Nii-san, you feel lonely, right? Kuro: Ah? Law: It's been a long time since Mahiru left. Kuro: I'm not lonely, you know that too, this day will eventually come Kuro: And you, aren't you going? grave cleaning Law: Even if I go to the grave… Law: But Nii-san, aren't you going? The Shirota family's graves…is very close Kuro:I am hesitant Kuro: In Japan, there is a custom called 'Obon', where grave cleaning is usually done in summer Kuro: But this drama CD was released in winter, so the seasons don't match up…

Mahi: Hey! Don't jump into heavy topics. Kuro: Oh, Mahiru's back. Kuro: Welcome home. Law: Welcome home. Mahi: I'm back! I'm not dead yet! Mahi: I just went on a trip with Sakuya and Misono! Misono: Hahahah! Excuse me! I'm here to deliver the souvenirs I bought on my trip with Shirota. Law: It's so nice to travel. What's the souvenirs? Mahi: Here! Hot Spring Buns! Law: You guys went to the hot springs again? Law: Sevramp's drama cd really likes hot springs! Law & Kuro: chewing Kuro : It' red bean paste….you know red bean paste is my type, you are so great, Mahiru Mahi: What are you guys doing? Don't start like 'Actually, it's been a couple hundred years' while I'm not here. Mahi: And what was that you said about grave cleaning? Mahi: Licht-san's not dead yet, is he? Law: No, Licht said he wanted to visit his great-grandfather's grave sence he is rare to come to Japan. Mahi: Don't say things that could be misunderstood.. Mahi: Then what are the Shirota family's graves? Kuro: It's the graves of Mahiru's ancestors. Kuro: After all, I'm already the shirota family's cat, so I thought I'd go to greet Mahi: You're such a polite cat.

Law: Hehehe. The buns are delicious. Can I have another one? Mahi: I could give it to you….but then Licht's share would be gone… Kuro: Speaking of which, isn't Angel-chan coming? Licht: Wherever there's a Mr. Cat, I'll go there immediately. Why? Because I'm an angel. Kuro: Wow, he showed up as soon as I said his name. Mahi: What is the connection between cats and angels? Law: (scream)!!!Wait!? Licht-tan, don't kick someone while he's eating buns! What are you going to do if I choke on it! Licht: Because I asked you to wait for me, but you left without permission. Law: But I don't like visiting graves. Mahi: Licht-san, please take this souvenirs! Licht: You're welcome. Licht: There's … a dense feeling behind the moist veil Law: Let's leave angel-chan's angel food review aside for a moment, the hot springs are so nice! Law: I want to go there again. Next time, I'll call wa-kun and Nicco. Misono: Well, whether it's the hot spring or some other trip, I'd still like to go with you all too! Mahi: But even if we keep quiet, there should still be a lot of people coming next time. Mahi: Sakuya's cell phone is getting a lot of messages from Tsubaki. Mahi: Although he hung up right away, but Tsubaki kept complaining about being “so cunning, so cunning”, he'll definitely come along without permission next time! Kuro: It's gonna get loud if Melancholy comes too….I won't go then. Kuro: Speaking of which, Mahiru went to kisama-chan's house on his trip and met Lily and Hugh. Kuro: In the face of hugh's incessant love talk, Lily was also forced to participate. Misono: What? Something so interesting has happened. Misono: Lily's been acting like he doesn't know what to do with me since the decisive battle Law: This is because he is bearing the shame of his dark history. He's ashamed to be alive. I understand, I understand Licht: I see, he's just like you. Law: You are so annoying Law: Speaking of love talk … ah, not actually….someone came to me for consultation today. Kuro: Ask you about his love troubles? Licht: Ah? You are not popular with girls, are you? Law: Hey! What are you talking about?! I have a lot of popular elements! Have you read the previous chapter of servamp? Law: I specialise in flashy battles with rapier! And I can also use gun coolly! Law: Actually, I am good at driving and cooking. And, I am stylish and perfect Kuro: Are you saying these yourself? Law: And the past chapter also revealed that I was once a prince! Law: There are so many elements that make Lawless-chan popular! Licht: But you are not popular with girls Law: You are so annoying！！ Law: Shut up! You super violent handsome eccentric pianist angel popular with the general public!! Kuro: Angel-chan is very popular even if he doesn't speak, which's so cunning. Mahi: You are the same，right? Kuro: Ah? I am also popular when I speak.

Law: No! This is not about popularity or relationship troubles Law: The Main topic is that I'm a 便利屋 now!! Mahi: 便利屋? Law: From love troubles to monster extermination! No matter how big or small your troubles are, I will help save the world. This is Lawless-chan's new job. Mahi: So you are doing this kind of thing, it sounds interesting Kuro: Will you say "It looks like a vampire did this…" and then blackmail the customers? Law: I wouldn't do such a thing. Law: This is the troublesome consultation I received. Law: Lawless-chan, who saves the world, responds carefully and thoughtfully to even the smallest annoyances. Law: This commission is as follows Law: Dear highly esteemed 便利屋 Mr Hedgehog! Kuro: Mr Hedgehog…? Law: Oh, don't pay attention to such details. Law: I have some queries pertatining to a conflict between my brother and I. Due to some conflicts at home, he has now been actively avoiding me.(Here used a serious and rigid grammar which like ancient people. Ordinary people don't speak like this.)

Mahi: ござります？（same with です） Law: Although I want to talk to my brother… Law: What course of action would you suggest I undertake? Should I confront him, or give hime some space? Kuro: The last tone sounded like a samurai…… Mahi: Are the samurai worried about their brotherly relationship? Misono: I don't think this samurai is someone else. This is also a question I really want to ask. How would you answer? Let me refer to it. Kuro: There's no correct answer to this question. Just answer your thoughts. Law: Um… in my opinion, your brother may also be waiting for you to talk to him. I think you could be a little tougher…? Mahi: Hmm? What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly slurring your words? Law: Ah… because, well, I was very tough with my brother before… and suddenly started fighting. What did you think about that? Nii-san Mahi: Ah! You mean when you first appeared? You really wanted to talk to Kuro, so you took strong action Law: Hey! Don't be so direct! I'm still worried. Licht: What? You've been wasting your time worrying about this? Licht: You still a hesitate rat Law: Please leave me alone!! I just want to hear my brother's opinion in order to graduate from the Hesitant rat Law: I am a man who can face my past! Kuro: …Well, at that time I thought…what does this guy want to do? Kuro: I think…In my case, I can’t communicate with others because I have my own shortcomings. Kuro: After all, before I faced you, I didn't face myself properly. Mahi: Kuro…. Kuro: But it is difficult for a person to face himself properly. It is good to have a younger brother or something else as an opportunity. Law: Is, is that true? Licht: Really, you always make people worried. Law: I have been stagnant for a long time, but time cannot be turned back, and the best time to act is before the idea becomes stale. Law: Of course, you may fail after taking action. But it's definitely better than not facing it. Misono: Well ,I see, I was a bit timid. Law: I'll message him back right away. For Hedgehog, timely response is also very helpful for selling

Law: Um… reply,reply….. Licht: The Lamb samurai wandering alone… this may become his memorial star Mahi: The Lamb samurai? Law: OK, send it. Misono: Hmm? There's mail. Misono: This is the reply to the life consultation I sent before Law: Wait a minute!! The samurai is you?!? Misono: What do you mean? Kuro: I do have that feeling… Mahi: Me too Misono: What!? The consulting link of this website was recommended to me by Lily. Is this consultant you?! Answer me quickly! Law: You are the same!! I wish you had noticed this when I read the samurai's mail! Misono: Although I did think that this was very similar to the mail I sent… Law: Your reaction is too slow! ! Misono: Do you think I would say "please" to you? Mahi: Well, I guess it's just a communicate error. Kuro: From now on, kisama-chan's nickname will become Samurai. Kuro: kisama samurai-chan Mahi: If Tsubaki were here, he would definitely say: How dare you ignore me, a purely Japanese-style character, and say that you are a samurai or something like that! Kuro: Maybe he is saying this in a scene right now, around here, Near the upper right corner Misono: So that's you. Misono: But I appreciate your gentlemanly answer. Misono: I gained a lot of courage because I didn't think mikuni would really resist Misono: I will continue to pester him and make him talk to me Law: That's will be great Misono: Then I'll climb into Mikuni's room through the window tonight and launch a surprise attack! Mahi: I think it's better for you to just walk through the door and enter his house. Kuro: You don't have such good physical fitness… Licht: How about an appearance with angel wings…slowly descending from the sky to the window? Licht: Under the moonlight, the two brothers had a mysterious reunion Mahi: Please don't let Misono perform wire action!! Misono: I also know the decisive lines and poses that made mikuni turn back! Misono: That's it! Why? Because I'm an angel!! Licht: The angle of the arm is like this!! Misono: Ah,AAAAH It's hurt!! Licht: Show your wings of tolerance!! Misono: My arm is going to break! !!!Wait!Ah!! Kuro: Well, now the matter is settled, let's have some dessert Law: That's great. What kind of dessert will Shirota Mahiru make for us?

Law: …Eh? Nii-san!??! Misono: Why would you, why would the Sloth cat be standing in the kitchen wearing an apron! Kuro: How about soft pancakes? Mahi: Are you going to make pancakes? I'm looking forward to it. Law: Mahiru doesn't look surprised at all, why? This scene looks weird, doesn’t it?! Law: Nii-san, wearing an apron with a cat design and a bandana, stood in the kitchen happily making dessert Mahi: What are you saying? Kuro's been cooking a lot lately. Kuro: I'm best at making gorgeous pasta. Law: Is that true? You don't even fit the name of the Sloth cat. Kuro: Though I think so too, this is also the era. Law: How did it come to this? Isn't Nii-san just a handsome guy if he's not lazy? Kuro: With my skills, it's not impossible to open a coffee shop in the future. Kuro: Handsome Voice Cat Angel's Fluffy Coffee Kuro: Welcome. If you want a seat, you can have my knee? Law: What kind of store is this! Kuro: I was wrong. On the contrary. It's me who's going to sit on your knee, meow. Kuro: Because I have to bake everyone's pancakes, so you'll have to wait. Licht: Is today's dessert a fairies' nap mat? Law: It's pancakes Licht: There's four of them. Licht: I feel like I can call my friend squirrel-san too. Law: He's saying you can make the pancakes bigger. Licht: I'll pour lots of whipped cream and honey on it, and add melon Kuro: Don't eat the fairies' nap mats, otherwise where will the fairies sit? Licht: I would order Chocolate Fountain and Clouds from Heaven For drinks Law: He said hot cocoa with marshmallows Kuro: Hey, angel-chan, don't turn this into a mysterious concept coffee shop Kuro: Okay, it's done. Misono: Oh, it's really baked soft. Kuro: This is growth through story. Misono: Growth? In this form?! I also want people to see my growth like this Kuro: Soft pancakes, and French brownies directly taught by Alicein family Mahi: Looks so delicious Misono: When did you become so good at cooking? Kuro: I am a genius cat who can easily succeed in anything I do Kuro: And, I'll do some magic. Kuro: Become delicious, neco-neco cute~~ Misono: What is that weird dance?

Licht: Hey! Hyde, let's do the usual one and pile the whipped cream into the shape of angel wings Law: Again? Licht-tan really likes this Law: I feel like I'm almost a professional wing painter Kuro: You have good skill. Kuro: In this way, we may all run a coffee shop together in the future. Mahi: Haha I'm really looking forward to it All: Let's eat Misono: So delicious!! Let the chef come here! Law: Does this have ricotta cheese? It's too soft! Licht: It's fairies' soft nap mat! Law: Licht-tan, the whipped cream is going to melt if you keep staring. Mahi: Thanks for making it for us, Kuro. So delicious!! Kuro: It's too easy for Chef Kuro.

Law: Um, Licht-tan, Kranz asked what you want for dinner. Licht: I'm in a good mood today, so let's eat melon Law: Why do you always eat melon? Licht: Because it's a special day, so we need a special melon. Law: why? Licht: Everything can't start over. But what you're going to do now is something you can change on your own. Licht: It seems that you understand this, and as an angel I am very satisfied. Law: You mean… the trouble consultation just now? Licht: Not just as an angel, as your friend, I think so too. Law: Although Licht usually has an expression that says I won't regret… Law: But Licht also regretted when he was a child because he lost a friend. Law: Because of me, he was able to reunite with that friend. Licht: I have regretted something before, but only by taking action can we broaden the path forward. Licht: Hyde, you found me because I didn't give up playing. Law: That's…. Licht: Because of you, I can play the best piece of music for my friend who has never heard the whole piano piece. Licht: If I hadn't met you, this regret would never disappear Licht: Thank you, Hyde! Licht: The same goes for you, if you regret something, keep taking action! Licht: What you did will not go away, and there is no way to punish the devil Licht: But because of this, you should save as many people as you can, whether I am here or not. Law: Licht-tan… Licht: I will help you while I am with you. Law: I was surprised Law: I could actually hear Licht thanking me directly.

Licht: why are you in a daze? Law: It's nothing. I just thought of the miserable look of Licht-tan who almost died in the final battle last year. Licht: I don't remember showing you this look. Licht: Why? Because I am… Law: Yes, yes, Archangel Licht: Really, if I don't kick you, you'll stop like this right away Law: No way! I already understand the angel philosophy! I understand it to the point of being annoying! Law: Ah, there is a new commission mail … Law: Wow, here comes an angel type case! Licht: An angel type? Law: A cursed villa where mysterious music can be heard at night Law: A room where sad cries can be heard… Law: Because it's so scary, I'm troubled! Licht: It's the Angel's turn! Law: This may be a combat mission that I haven't seen for a long time! Law: It is look like the monster extermination Law: The location is very close! Licht: Sad creatures must be purified by an angel like me Licht: When are we going, tomorrow? Law: Tomorrow? Licht-tan do you have time? Licht: I said I will help you while I am with you. Law: Hehehe, you are indeed an angel. I feel like you'll follow me to the end of hell haha Law: I got so much from Licht, but I couldn't calm down after only that one thank you. Law: And there were so many things I wanted but didn't get before we met. Law: I want to live in a way that Licht and others can thank me. Licht: Let's go, Hyde, have dinner first! Follow me! Law: Okay,okay! I will follow you wherever you go

Yo I'm not even done checking out the chapter. I'm just so thrilled that the thing I quietly wanted to happen ACTUALLY happened! OHMDJFURUDJJDSSS!!

Edit: so that mahiru theory ended up being correct-ish. Also if I'm reading this right does mikuni have 3 bonds? According to Google he calls Lilly Judith. I don't think mahiru named tsubaki either so idk how they bonded but like I'm still happy about it.

Okay I found out this recently and I know its an old conversation in this fandom that just completely went over my head but finding out that Sephiroth has no real offical authority (based off the stuff comming out of ever crisis) and does not have any rank outside of SOLDIER First Class (he is not and never has been called a general in any offical media outside of fandom) for me is like when I found out the shadow realm wasn't real.

The Very Basics of Not Killing Your Computer

AVOID HEAT STRESS

If you have a laptop DO NOT use it on a soft surface like a pillow or on a blanket, it’ll block the vents on your computer and make it get really fucking hot inside.

If you have a desktop you gotta open it up and blow out the dust sometimes.

If you are moving your laptop in a bag turn the laptop off. Don’t put it to sleep, don’t just shut the screen, turn it off, because otherwise it’s in the bag generating heat and there’s nowhere for the heat to go in the bag. OFF. Not sleep. OFF.

DO NOT DROP

Okay I know that should be obvious but drop damage to your hard drive is bad bad news. Be as careful as you can to set your computer gently on flat surfaces; don’t leave it hanging out on a bed where it can get knocked off, don’t set it on the roof of your car. And yes, just dropping it a couple inches can kill your hard drive or totally shatter your screen.

DON’T PUT SHIT ON YOUR KEYBOARD

Look I’ve seen four people ruin their laptops because they had a pen on the keyboard and closed the laptop and it fucked up the screen and the keyboard and it sucks so much and you feel awful after it happens because it’s so avoidable just don’t put things on your keyboard and always check that your laptop is clear before you close it.

PROTECT YOUR PORTS ON YOUR LAPTOP

You’ve only got one power jack and a limited number of other inputs on your computer and if they detach from the motherboard you’re fucked. USB ports get damaged because people use them a lot and eventually it weakens the connection and then they just stop working and it sucks. You can get around this with USB ports by using a USB hub to connect things like your keyboard and mouse.

For your power plug you just gotta be careful. Avoid tripping over the cord at all costs, don’t yank the plug out of the computer. It will SUCK VERY MUCH A LOT if you have to buy a new computer because the power port lost contact with the motherboard.

Don’t move your computer with things plugged into it. Take the power cord off before you put your laptop in the bag, take out the USB mouse dongle, do not travel with little nubby bits sticking out of your computer that can easily get caught or get tweaked or snap off inside of the thing.

(I really can’t emphasize enough that most of the “it will cost more than it’s worth to fix this” laptops I see are because of USB ports and power jacks. People don’t seem to know that this isn’t something that can be fixed easily; a broken power jack is a “remove the motherboard and resoldier components” job, not a “plug a new one in in fifteen minutes” job and most computer repair shops aren’t going to solder things for you and if they DO it’s going to be very expensive)

RESTART YOUR SHIT AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH AND JUST LET THE FUCKING UPDATES RUN

You should probably restart more than once a month but whatever. This is actually something that I consider part of reducing heat stress because when your processor is straining to keep up with all the background bullshit that’s running from a program you opened three weeks ago it’s going to use up resources and get hot and look just restart it once in a while.

Also the updates are almost always okay and safe and generally running updates is a good and secure thing to do (though maybe follow a blog dedicated to the OS you run because if there IS a problem with the updates that blog will probably talk about it before the update gets forced on your computer)

ANTIVIRUS BULLSHIT

Yes you should probably be running an antivirus.

Sophos is free and it’s fine. But don’t pay for it - if you’re using Sophos use the free version.

If you’re looking for something paid and a little more comprehensive I recommend ESET - get the cheap version, renewals cost less than the initial purchase, and feel free to get a multi-year version, the credentials follow your email not the computer so if your computer dies before your license expires you can install the license on a new computer.

DO NOT INSTALL NORTON OR MCAFEE THEY ARE EXPENSIVE BULLSHIT. Kaspersky is whatever. It’s less bullshit than Norton or McAfee but not as good as ESET for about the same cost.

If you think you’ve got a virus run the free version of Malwarebytes and get your shit cleaned.

KEEP LIQUIDS THE FUCK AWAY FROM YOUR COMPUTER

Again this should be obvious and yet. But seriously, just make a rule for yourself that drinks aren’t allowed on the same table as your computer and you’ll save yourself a lot of headaches.

PLUG YOUR COMPUTER INTO A UPS

Okay I fucking hate amazon but here’s a thing you should be using, just search the rest of the internet for “surge protector/UPS” and you’ll find something that isn’t from amazon - APC is a solid brand for this.

Basically you want a fat surge protector that has a little bit of a battery backup and you want to plug your computer (desktop OR laptop) into that instead of into the wall. The benefit of this is twofold:

1) if there’s a power surge the UPS will prevent your computer’s power supply from getting fried and possibly frying parts of your motherboard

2) if there’s a power outage and you’re *at* your computer you’ll have enough time to save what you’re working on before your computer loses power (like, you’ll maybe only have a minute or two on a small UPS but that’s still time to hit CTRL+S and keep from losing work)

At a bare, bare minimum your computer should be plugged into a surge protector but NOT directly into the wall.

BACK YOUR SHIT UP

[we interrupt this yelling for me to tell you that Western Digital has apparently released their new My Passport line and I’m obligated to inform you that you can get a 2.5″ USB 3.0 backup drive with FIVE FUCKING TERABYTES OF STORAGE for $130. Or you can get 4TB for $93. Or you can get 1TB for $53. basically what I’m saying is that it is not only cheap computer season it is also cheap hard drive season.]

[also if you’re getting a backup drive get western digital not seagate seagate fucking sucks and has a much higher failure rate]

Uh, okay, anyway - Do an image backup of your computer every once in a while so that if you get infected or your hard drive dies or whatever you can just restore from backup and move on like nothing happened.

HERE’S HOW TO DO AN IMAGE BACKUP.

SAVE YOURSELF THE WEAR AND TEAR

You know what is cheap? USB Keyboards and USB mice. You know what is not cheap? Fixing the touchpad on a laptop or replacing a laptop keyboard.

Get yourself a USB hub, a USB Keyboard and a USB Mouse (wired or wireless, doesn’t matter) and if you’re using your laptop at home plug *that* into your computer.

Also if your keyboard on your laptop breaks it’s fine just to use a USB keyboard instead I promise; if the screen breaks it’s also usually cheaper and easier to get a used or inexpensive monitor than it is to replace the screen. Your laptop is basically just a very small version of whatever bullshit is going on inside a desktop, if the peripherals break but the core components are fine you can just use it like a desktop.

Unless it’s a piece of shit that doesn’t have any USB ports or video out in which case you got ripped off, friend, demand functionality in your devices I’m sorry.

My jaw is on the floor right now.

So I haven't finished the translation courtesy of Google yet but...Mikuni wants to be the the resurrected earl and Lilly wants to be his servamp? Wouldn't Misano have to die first tho??

Edit: Important edit! Tsukikagami44 was kind enough to correct and explain to me that the conclusion I came to is incorrect. According to them Mikuni wants to be the eve of the 9th Servamp (aka the earl) and Lilly is perhaps stating the same thing (Mikuni becoming the earls eve).

The boy is gone I think or is he still in the body with the old man??? I think it's just the old man alone in the body. The old man's name being Algernon. At least from what I can gather.

Anyway, Pride's full name of Hugh the Dark Algernon III is a combination of the boy's name, the boy's nickname for the old man, the old man's name, and the fact that he's the third being of them both maybe (1st person Algernon + 2nd person Hugh = 3rd person Pride). And if what I think Google translate is trying to tell me is true then Pride doesn't, and never has, had an eve because if he does he'll lose his name. Which he refuses to do as it is the name that is his own but also one he gave himself, a constant reminder of what happened, of who he is, and the memory of the boy. (Which again begs the question of why servamps even need eves to begin with. Outside of companionship and as a source of blood I mean.)

However, if that is true then that brings up an interesting notion. So remember when Kuro couldn't remember his orginal name with the excuse of its been such a long time since he's thought about it he must have just forgot?

That was already rather suspicious and as such I assumed there was more to it then that so maybe this is what Tanaka had in mind.

As far as we know Mahiru is Kuro's only and first eve. And while that dictates that Kuro could have just forgotten his orginal name when he contracted with Mahiru a line from the count makes me wonder again if perhaps there is more going on here.

Or maybe I'm just overthinking this as I do all things with this series. The count doesn't seem to have made a contract with Kuro ever as far as we can tell. The count might just be trying to explain what an eve is right here.

Also the chapter mentioned that there are spies on the Alicein and Tsukimitsu sides of the war working for team revive the count. Which I am again assuming for the Alicein's is Mikuni (idk maybe there are others). And I guess because of the ending...Yumikage for the Tsukimitsu?? Otherwise how did he know where Tetsu was. I don't think he was the person talking to Mikuni in the C3 arc who's shoes we saw but idk idk. I don't think Nico would have been able to tell Yumikage where they would be (he only knew the general direction Pride had gone in I believe) so to me it seems like it's the only option.

Please correct me if I am reading any of this wrong.

On a side note it's nice to see the karaoke pride subclass again.
