I'll throw a vote in for Hermann the Human. Tragedy can come later, when she dies horribly.

If such a thing as "too many pearls" existed then I guess, but I've never hit that ceiling.

I definitely have in SP. Given the right variables, it's possible to get your pearl income to rise faster than you can spend it. Definitely late game and clam/wish spam and whatnot, but it's possible. This is especially true if you're a nation with somewhat limited astral access -- if you've got a slow trickle of able astral mages and don't want to go empowerment crazy, it's pretty easy to slip 25S in the casting queue and still be building a surplus or have all your other casters going full blast without running out of resources.

It's also fairly fine to use it if you've got a significant advantage and want some win more. Particularly if you're mainlining other paths. If you're not doing anything with the astral, might as well sitesearch with it >_>

It's definitely a bit of a "stars align" thing, though.

Though yeah, you silly people haven't really mentioned the actual major advantage to site search spells: Significantly less micromanagement. M is considerably less moving parts than ferrying around some crud load of mages and hoping nothing kills them while they're twiddling their thumbs waiting to get places. Frumple is perfectly willing to trade some efficiency for having less things to pay attention to. Especially later in the game where a single moment of inattention can cause entire fronts to collapse... spending a little gem on some sanity management is a pretty damned good investment, imo.

*coughs* I don't think I actually can go on, considering the forum ToS. I think I'm also culturally obligated to speak against prostitution? I'unno, I don't actually care personally but it's generally illegal and I'm not quite sure how S&M play fits in all that, sooo...

... do your own research, I guess. There's probably M!bears in your area, though I don't know if there's enough of a market to make things sustainable, especially once offset with any local legal issues.

Anime thead's really not the place for it, regardless, so yeah.

So it's the Anime 'weekend' right now.
'Analogue' and 'Hate Plus' are both good, 'Long Live the Queen' is there...

There's a VN that is "like economics class but with waifus" that looks pretty interesting, and 'Sakura Spirit' is there to buy a shitton of gift copies of for the purpose of giggls. Aside from that I don't see much I'd be interested in.

Sakura Spirit?
*pops open Steam page*
...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

In sakura spirit's defense, it looks like it's not actually a full blown eroge! Unlike Nekopara, which apparently only half-assedly disabled its porn for the steam release~

... anywaaay.

Silly spehss, the first step to being a man is realizing that you define what is manly, up to and including being a woman. Rom-coms are nothing in the face of full gender reassignment surgery. You're good.

You only need punch bears if you feel like it, and are okay with assault charges. Or if they like being punched, I guess. You might be able to charge for that in some places.

Seriously though even if they are somewhat overweight and hairy, you shouldn't punch people.

If you're really lazy about searching, and especially if you're playing Dom3 where rituals don't have range limits, use "M" to set a couple of mages on infinite sitesearch spellcasting duty. It's zero effort even if it's only one path at a time and costs more than manual searching.

Echo this for D3. Usually a pretty good use for indie mages, even, if you've got floating boosters that aren't seeing more productive use. As noted, bit more expensive gem wise, but it's usually significantly more efficient mage-time wise, which has its place.

Also can hope you luck upon a conj. site, then spew akashic knowledge or whatever that is all over the place. Or get clams rolling and do that anyway, since you'll be drowning in pearls... pretty sure vanilla D3 never got around to limiting gemgens. Spell's usually ridiculously inefficient, gem wise, but if you've got a bunch of spare pearls and nothing better to do with 'em...

None to splice. Odin did 'is job well, unlike some divinities.

This is pretty much the place, yes, insofar as B12 goes. The desura forum or that major Dominions modding forum I've forgotten the name of is probably among the best non-B12 places to go.

And... just throwing it out there, but while pretender design is important, it's not that important
