What the hell is a 3D bastard?
3D world, as opposed to the 2D world of games and anime.
He was basically calling the other guy a normalfag.
"And last, is the player [QV], which is just pronounced [Cuvie]. As far as he's said the name was a whim without any meaning."
In the light novel, Kirito had a monologue about how he couldn't come up with a good character name, so he basically gave up and just truncated his IRL name instead.
...Since Cuvie is also the user name of a doujin artist that's active in the hentai scene, which is something I found out after I wrote that chapter, there was actually another reading
entirely for that.

Hmm. My sympathies tend to lie with the descriptivists, too, but I'm not sure you're using the word correctly. ...
I was really more referring to the "top down" approach of prescriptivism, that is, starting from first principles and applying them as rules, versus the "bottom up" approach of looking for organization in things that were already written.
That is, content is more important than form.
As for emphasizing that it's a complete sentence, allow me to present a counterpoint. Try reading those examples out loud,
Since I do silly voices for different characters to distinguish them, it actually sounds better to my ear.

Gunning for you daniel. Just 45 more posts to go...
Yeah I'm way in the lead for the other two metrics, though.
Daneel has 2/3rds the rep-count I do; he was catching up thanks to Genkyouien, but we'll see what happens now that he's brought that to conclusion. With hard work and guts I might pull back out in front of him.
As for referrals, I have more than the rest of the first page put together.
But I'm never going to catch up to zb1 for post count. That dood is a
machine. Raine's out of the running and Paul I might conceivably pass, but my posting rate has actually gone down over the last year (funny enough, I can't seem to post 7,000 words of fanfic as fast as I could post 300 word extended metaphors about other stuff), so I don't think I'll actually catch up to Paul anytime soon.
Anyway, good luck zerohour. I'll be watching my back, so don't think it'll be too easy!

-> highest tier of canon
I've said it before, and I'll probably say it more in the future
Sixth Ranger / Magical Amber

Anyway "Carnival Phantasm" is probably about the only way that could happen so yeah
