I kinda like the uncertainty. It's fun watching the animation, trying to guess if you got a rare unit, and then if you got the one you wanted. And I find it oddly satisfying when I do get the one I wanted, or a rare one I hadn't even contemplated, and I don't really spend money on these things, so there's nothing lost either way. I'm somewhat proud of my Fate GO collection, even though I'm a really inactive player. I do like the classic mode, and even on casual I restart almost every time a unit dies, but I guess knowing I have the option of just keep going gives me some peace of mind. I do plan on returning to the Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn duology, then the GBA ones and then FE4 (and the sequels it apparently has?). That last one seems to be on a pedestal and I really want to see how it got there. I'm intrigued about pairing Robin with Tharja if only because I'm interested in seeing what happens when obsessed characters actually get what they want. Chrom x Olivia also seems to be really popular. I liked him with Sumia but for a couple that is aparently canon, their supports were surprisingly simple, kind of cringy at times? Which in turn leads us to Gaius x Sumia. Not gonna lie, I was already considering that one for another run and it's solely because pies. Regarding Nowi, I still don't know how I feel about her since she looks so young but I paired her pretty late and only got to try with Henry and Vaike, and between those two I really liked her relationship with Vaike (Henry had good intentions but seemed to be looking for a way to shove her problems under the rug). And maybe sixth or seventh. In practice I don't know how it is but this game seema to have a massive amount of replayability. I'll try to keep in mind the advice for Fates (actually I should take a screenshot), I'm starting Birthright and already the mechanics seem really different. I hope I can build numbers like those some day. The story here started really strong imo and the game is much more cinematic so the future looks good. Also I'm both proud and ashamed to say that I'm already hard at work forming couples, and I freaking love the idea of A+. Something like that was needed.

Yeah, I haven't heard many good things about it, but I find the concept behind that game interesting enough to still have quite a bit of faith in it.

I like gachas, I'm not sure I understand the hate they get. Speaking of Fire Emblem, I just finished Awakening at around 48 hours. It's not the first FE I play but it's the first one I beat, mainly because while I love everything about this series so far, I also have a really short fuse and restarting a stage fifteen times does things to you. So yeah, I played on casual. I'm not sure I love how the story is told in short cutscenes before and after a stage, playing a few in a row makes it feel as if the plot was advancing too fast. Not that bad though, there were plenty of other places to get more story bits in between. Grinding makes a huge difference in this game. It was a difficult game until I started using reeking boxes and suddenly my army transformed into a band of psychopaths swearing each other eternal love as they slaughtered enemies without even looking at them. Also, the supports. I know some like them and some don't but those are like another game in and of themselves if you like shipping characters. Which I do. A lot. Actually, here's the full list: I also got all the family bonds for Robin and Chrom and their families and I was planning to continue and do that until I ran out of possible supports but I decided at that rate the game would never end, and that I still have to play the rest of the series so I'm saving that for a second run. So yeah, overall I really liked the game. Great soundtrack too, I can't take Id - Purpose out of my head. I'm really looking forward to Fates now, I've been excited about that one since its anouncement.

Lewis watched Wita tend to his wounds. Of course only he would disregard something like that, and just after deciding to be happy. The irony almost made him laugh. "Thanks." he said when Wita finished, gratefully accepting her help. The fact that he had been able to get those wounds without even flinching was amazing. Using the ring still terrified him, but one couldn't deny its uesfulness. He turned toward the man who had been at the center of the circle. He wasn't the only one awake, but it was as good as asking any of the others. Maybe he even knew more. You didn't agree to be hurt like that without being completely sure about what you were doing. "Alright. Why don't you start by telling us what this is all about?" Foolish question. If they didn't know what they were trying to stop then why had they gone to such lenghts to stop it? Regardless the truth was they didn't know, and he was sure they wouldn't like the answer. But, it doesn't matter, does it? The only thing that mattered was making sure it didn't succeed. @Sorana

The song of a whale. 42?

Yeah, but Sega has Atlus! Sorry, carry on

Same here. I've cost my family a great deal of shame growing up because my reactions were always less than mature. I still have no idea how I will react the next time, it's been years now. Usually it's like that. As scary as the idea seems, deep down one knows there's nothing to be afraid of. Of course I know that does nothing to placate the fear but I think in a case like that it's good to keep in mind that big sigh of relief that will come when it's all over. Hopefully you won't need that though, I wish you good luck.

Well, good to know. Probably still better than the Russian roulette we call Spanish. By using the same sentence in one country you get cake and in the next you just insulted someone's mother. That's a really interesting way confirm your fears by the way. I don't see many games where the height feels real enough. Oh, I know what you mean there. Last time I went to the dentist the procedure was simple and mostly painless but everything was so out of my control it felt terrifying. All I could do was be as still as possible so I didn't cause the least of troubles. Then of course the doctor tells me I'm not bleeding as I see him pulling bloody instruments out of my mouth. I don't care if I bleed or not, it's an operation after all, but lying to me does not make me feel any better. Exactly, I've been bitten enough to bleed like half a dozen times during the past two weeks and it's no big deal, but the moment I see one of those I just panic.

Do you guys have an ironic phobia? It's a really specific question but I'm realizing I both 1. Have a pretty good tolerance to pain. 2. Am terrified of injections (or was it shots? Syringes? I still struggle with this language a bit) Gotta love the irony.

Oh I know, but it was planned as an expansion at first, so most likely there weren't any more cards planned. Again, they may take this opportunity to make expansions for the Stormlight edition (which would be a lot of extra work considering they already plan to release several more for the original), but I still think it's too soon to get our hopes up.

Granted. And you become his servant. I want a new pair of shoes.

I'm a patient shipper.

This. Oh storms, I would so love to see this. Have my non-existent rep, I ran out already but this would be amazing.

She's not exactly living with it though, she is pushing back the inevitable. It's like having a house you have to clean but you don't do it because it looks fine now and a dirty house won't kill you, but eventually it will be impossible to ignore and you'll have to do something about it. I think it's something like that. As I said, this could also be just the process of her personalities merging back into one again but, as much as I would love that, it would be kind of like the problem solving itself and there's no growth in that. So in the end it's probably a sure thing that she'll deal with it sooner or later. She probably can't become a Fifth Ideal/Truth Radiant without a more or less stable self anyway.

Why did I think chapters came out on Thursdays? Anyway, I see Shallan has gotten into a comfort zone, she likes where she is, but she can't stay like that forever. I can see two things happening, either she lives like that until she realizes she can't go on like that and she has a crisis (hopefully the last of the big ones), or she stays like this, switching personas more and more easily until she's not switching anymore. Whether she knows it or not, all three personalities are just different side of the same person, and I think this new state of hers could help her merge them as they should be. Also, more on Lirin, that man is going to have a rough time accepting the new way of things. I can understand his behavior towards Dalinar. One doesn't meet a former warlord who has killed thousands that hypocritically has been doing good deeds for the past year and instantly respect him. We know the man and his struggles, Lirin doesn't. He did waver when Dalinar showed care for the healing of people so that's a step. I've seen people worried about Dalinar and Navani's relationship but I think it'll be alright. A thing that stands out to me about Dalinar is that he followed his brother's steps but ended in a completely opposite place, and I think it will be the same regarding his marriage. Hesina is the best. I don't think we have two pages worth of dialog from her but she's easily one of my favorite characters. And Syl. Having this close relationship with Kal's family? Private conversations with Adolin? She's basically human now. She's a different species, yes, and it shows in her not understanding basic human needs but she's a character on her own right with a life apart from Kaladin.

Well, that's literally in his job description. So I'm three chapters behind this week but I wanted to post. First of all, I love the apothecary. Can we see that guy more often? He's great. I see quite a few names in Bridge 4 I don't recognize. They're gonna die, aren't they? You know, Dalinar's identity crisis is really strange to see. Like "I don't enjoy killing, what is happening to me?!". Especially when we consider every other country sees the Alethi as bloodthirsty savages, it's curious how unnatural it seems to them. Ah yes, and the first mentions of Evi. This particularly breaks my heart a bit because he was so sure he had been head over heels for her, and I was too. It feels really sad reading that now. Oh, and the first Rysn interlude. She is my favorite interlude character, can't wait for Dawnshard. Oh, I find interesting that Dalinar, the one Alethi with power that could change so much on his own that he becomes a Bondsmith, fully respects Jasnah's heresy. It's like, even when he was a bloodthirsty warlord with unshakeable faith In the Almighty, he had that open mind needed to eventually make that change. Ohhh and the kata scene. I don't remember enjoying that so much the first time. It was amazing. There are probably a lot more things I wanted to talk about but I don't remember right now. Maybe I should start taking notes as I read.

I have nothing to say but it's 1:53 in the morning and there's been over 24 hours of inactivity. That was all, good night.

Laral has been my favorite ship for Kal since WoK, and I've been waiting for a hint of it coming back. Now it's finally here, I really hope something happens.

Oh sorry, you don't have to do that, I was just venting out a bit. I've been using gmail though. I think I'll try with a different account, one that isn't so full to the brim with other notifications. If that doesn't work I'll have to believe there's some restriction by country, though that also seems unlikely.

Got excited with the SMT V trailer and pushed a few games to the backburner to play Apocalypse. Gotta say, this game is so lighthearted compared to the original. It's like the first game already made you suffer with the difficult questions, so with this one you can just have fun. I like it. It's two perspectives on the same setting.

Did anyone have trouble signing up? I've tried several times across a span of months, maybe years, and I never receive the confirmation email. It's frustrating because every time something interesting arrives with the newsletter everyone is like "I'm not telling you what it was about, sign up for yourself if you want to see." Well thanks, that's what I've been trying to do.

Let's see, stuff to explain. My profile picture comes from my favorite game series, my background picture comes from my favorite webcomic and my username is my real name plus an 'i'. I'm a genius at this, I know.

The way I see it, we already started reading the book. The pace will just be faster once it comes out.

413. If someone offers you a quick way to the top (be it in magic, swordsmanship, or any such art) via a secret quest, they're trying to trick you into releasing the bad guy from its eternal slumber.

From the syrup? A little bit but it's worth it. It's usually washed afterwards anyway
