Q+A from library visit where I read my comic about a skeleton that plays the fiddle
Kid: Is this fiction?
Me: Yeah
Kid: I kinda thought so
Me: Oh really? Why?
Kid: Because skeletons aren't real
Me: Skeletons are real. You have one!
Kid, jumping up out of his seat: Yeah but they don't move around!!
Me: Your skeleton's moving around right now!
Kid, yelling: THAT'S!! DIFFERENT!!!
“That’s a funny trick to play on god” is so fucking raw and powerful but it was said by this man in reference to a video game on YouTube
Are you forgetting the fact it was spoken about this wretched spore creation

My friend had some comments about delicious in dungeon
Some kid named Dylan put his name in by mistake and we all worked together to make this ominous message
You always wanted to be a Healer. Unfortunately, your dad was an Necromancer and your mother a Demon Summoner. So your healing was a bit… unconventional to say the least.
“Listen, is he alive? Technically, no. But his body is moving and his soul is controlling it, so frankly I don’t see a problem.”
So this is just my take, but the key to understanding Kabru Dungeon Meshi is understanding that the Touden's party was one of the top parties in the dungeon.
You eventually learn the mission they were on when they encountered the red dragon, and it involved going as far into the dungeon as anybody had gone before. Their party lineup was two top-level mages, Marcille and Falin (okay, Marcille's practical magic skills are kind of questionable, but we're told that Falin was extremely talented within her areas of specialty) Two excellent fighters: Shuro and Namari, and Chilchuck, who considering that he runs the guild, is likely one of the most experienced half-foot trapsmiths working on the island. Laios is party leader, and while he's not the greatest fighter, he's quite good, and his obsessive knowledge of monsters means that he can guide the others. You see how Laois's knowledge helps the party already, now imagine if they had a support caster, a dwarf whose almost certainly a much better fighter than Senshi, and another tallman who is almost certainly a much better fighter than Laois all working on that knowledge.
So with that in mind, lets revisit Kabru and his obsession. Kabru knows people, and can read them very well. He's also got a wider perspective on the nature and danger of dungeons due to his backstory. Kabru isn't here to get rich delving the dungeon, he's here to Solve A Problem. He's a relatively recent arrival to the island, that or his mismatched skillset means that he and his party are much slower to progress through it than the Touden's party. Either way, he spots the Touden party as The Party To Watch when it comes to conquering the dungeon. Laois, as party leader, is obviously of particular concern. So, Kabru turns all his insight onto Laois and he gets...nothing. Laois cares about money from a pragmatic standpoint, but isn't especially concerned with it. He's easily conned. He's not driven by hatred, greed, or ambition. There's some curiosity there, but it's not the driving curiosity of an obsessive academic, Laois is an enthusiastic hobbyist who has figured out how to make his particular interest into a valuable skillset. Kabru is looking for the protagonist of an epic fantasy tale, and he finds...just a guy. A guy who didn't feel at home anywhere, and found a place and a life where he was welcome and valued. A guy whose skillset and companions puts him first in a race he doesn't even know he's running. And if you're Kabru, that's infuriating and fascinating in equal measure.
Hope it's ok to add. Like OP said, Kabru sees highly skilled, standoffish, near-unapproachable champions of the dungeon. He expects their leader to have certain qualities that command authority, respect, or maybe even fear. Laois isn't just the leader of highly skilled individuals, he is a figure which transcends cultural and racial differences. Kabru is expecting a party-wide dynamic which is streamlined and instilled by Laios.
But Laios doesn't garner respect, awe, or fear- his party listens to him because he establishes a strong sense of trust through observation and acknowledging their input. Laios isn't a facilitator of objectives, he's a companion. His leading style is the opposite of detached, he has a relationship of mutual trust with every individual in his party. The party doesn't rely on this trust when they are on the surface or in the higher floors. From Kabru's perspective, he probably suspects that Laios (and maybe Falin) is blackmailing his party members. Because he hasn't seen the group in action, Kabru doesn't know that Laios shines brightest in high stress situations. All he sees is a party of the best people around being led by A Guy that they don't even seem to like that much (if the expressions of disgust are anything to go off of)
Kabru has never seen why these super-capable individuals follow Laios as a leader because Laios only leads when necessary. Which makes sense because Chilchuck, Marcille, Namari, Shuro, Senshi, and of course a traumatized 17 year old, wouldn't listen to the commands of someone who is always authoritative
i love it when people trap the warden in minecraft by making a moving piston that makes noise so the warden just quietly stares at it. ipad baby

you want what
Ghost Trick is so funny because it's one of those games where people keep telling you to play it and after a while you start getting curious so you go "whatever" and try it
Then you're playing it and the thing happens which leads to the thing and ultimately gets you to THE thing and then you finish it and are like "I have to tell people"
So you go on social media to post about how this was a downright mindblowing experience but are like "Oh no what do I say to not reveale too much?"
You then type "Play Ghost Trick" and hit post like some sort of drone and you are 100% right to do so
Anyway play Ghost Trick
Hey weird question but what happens if you put two reasonably likeable anthropologists of wildly different cultures together in the same room? Do they study each other? CAN they? Is it like an infinite conversational feedback loop? I'm imagining two dogs eternally sniffing each others butts at the park

One of the things I resent most about being Animal Brain Apex Predator trapped in Maximum Productivity Society is that I have to work when the weather is gross, instead of following my natural instinct to burrow myself into something dry and soft and sleep until Optimal Foraging Conditions
It is dark and cold and wet and miserable and I have a warm dark quiet hideaway full of food and drinking water that is safe from interlopers and for some ungodly reason instead of holing up there to conserve my energy, I am standing up in a brightly lit beige room for several hours. A possum wouldn't put up with this shit. I'm going to bite someone
