I can almost hear Namari screaming at the thought. Across the screen.

Knives are different. A dull knife is more dangerous than a sharp one. They need maintenance. Axe though? Worst hypothesis he’s strong enough to cause blunt damage to the enemies, it doesn’t need that much maintenance, once in a few decades should be enough.

Senshi can’t keep a weapon properly, doesn’t care about ores, and uses adamantine as a cooking pot. He’s no dwarf! He’s a half-tallman, quarter-foot half-half-foot! The beard is just a disguise!

Jokes aside this episode was great to flesh out the supporting cast - mostly Namari, but also the gnomes. I like how much depth it gives her; sure, she’ll do odd jobs for money to survive, but not everything, and she doesn’t mind helping out some friends (as she did by holding the adamantine cooking pot, even to the point that her hands were boiling). She’s pragmatic, not cold-hearted.

Poor Kensuke was almost cooked.

[Edit reason: my brain auto-correcting “Namari” into “Nanami”]

I heavily recommend, for anyone moderating communities in lemmy.ml, to migrate their communities to other instances. Otherwise you’re exposing the other users of your comm(s) to rogue admins. The administration of lemmy.ml is garbage, and it engages on

• witch hunting
• enforcement of hidden rules
• censorship strictu sensu
• blatant lack of transparency
• taking the userbase as gullible sheep to be herded
• trigger-happiness

Also, from my experience migrating a linguistics community from lemmy.ml to mander.xyz, I genuinely believe that communities thrive way more if they’re in suitable instances. I think that you described it rather well when you said that “it feels like I’m screaming into the void over there”.
