Yeah, I upgraded processing to get to a perk that needed tons of Creativity but the actual progression is gated behind Memory.

Yeah all I have left are the 50k creativity and 70k op things and as far as I can tell my only way to gain trust is the paperclip production bonuses and lol that's gonna take awhile.

I don't know if I'm simply not understanding quantum computing or if it's really just not very useful. I have all available chips, but I can't seem to ever raise it more than ~2k past the maximum before it starts to fall again. At 61k maximum, that means I'll still need to idle until I get 7 more paperclip production trust increases to buy the 70k ops thing. It looks like that's going to take forever.

I'm in the same boat as you are. It was useful for spamming modeling but I have little use for it anymore. All of my spend money for +1 trust upgrades are also gone.

So I guess protip to anyone before this point regarding spending Trust: make sure you can get to 70k memory

I think I messed up and am stuck idling for a while

I need 50k Creativity so I upgraded my processors, but it's still slow going. But I also need the 70k ops for the drone upgrade, and the only +trust boosts I have left costs millions of dollars. If there's a way to use the stock market to get shitloads of money real fast then I can't figure it out.

I miss Superboy Prime. Everyone hated him but you don't know what you got til it's gone. :\

And his last appearance was jobbing to the Teen Titans or some garbage. He really deserves better.

Were you just playing casually with friends or was this a match at a store or something? If it's the latter, you can call a judge if you think the other guy is screwing with you.

If you had been playing Wild, you wouldn't be nearly as sick of Patches and Raza and whatnot because they don't dominate Wild nearly as much as they do in Standard. <_<

At the very worst was the Pirate Warrior bot infestation, which was exactly the same story in Standard. But the actual deck diversity of not bots has always been higher.

Batman and the Signal was surprisingly good. Nothing amazing, but I did like it more than I thought I'd like a teen hero story. Should be a fun little mini. I had a chuckle at the initial scene with Duke's inner monologue questioning if there even needs to be another Bat-hero. I love this new era of Snyder being just self-aware enough to realize what he's doing, then still going along with it.

Also, I'm probably being too hopeful, but it sounds like it could tie into Dial H which would be incredibly rad. So I have to read just for the off chance that happens.

This only happens when it's Amazon's own courier delivering the item, and it happens every time. Canada Post and UPS have never made the mistake.

Amazon's in-house courier has been complete garbage every time I've been assigned them on an order. They'll do stuff like mark packages as delivered without actually delivering them. Amazon has a reputation for treating their employees a bit badly and maybe this is an area where its coming back to bite them.

Maybe this doesn't apply to you, but I live in a huge city that also has the Amazon Now program, so I suspect it's a combination of delivery people being stretched thin and my apartment complex being complete ass in terms of deliveries. Plus I know from working in a restaraunt using Amazon for deliveries that they don't seem to give a shit about the Restaraunt part of the app and don't make sure all of their drivers have hot bags.

Jade Druid is only the ultimate long game deck when they don't have to worry about being burst down from 30+ HP and can afford to durdle around. Otherwise it's big midrange.

I've had issues just like this and it's usually the carrier's fault. USPS "lost" one of my book packages too. I called them on day 2 and they assured me that it would be delivered that day or the next. It wasn't, so I went to Amazon that night and they just sent me the same book for free with one-day shipping. Of course, USPS then found and delivered the package and so I got the same book twice on day 4.

Good thing Amazon has free returns!

PQ was a good dungeon crawl with a distinctly different flavor (basically a different game franchise with Persona characters instead).

Strange Journey is much better if you want a dungeon-crawler. PQ is fine but it's too much of an "easy" Etrian Odyssey game with Persona fanservice. And SJ is getting a 3DS remake soon too!

Oh hey, Snagglepuss came out today. It was...hm. I didn't dislike it, but I guess I wasn't expecting fairly straightforward historical fiction.

Justice League rubbed me the wrong way too this week but I'm exactly sure why. Maybe it's something about some of the characterizations (I can accept Batman being a dick even though Batdad is best Bat, but Nightwing here was bleh), or maybe the solid initial premise is starting to feel a little contrived.

I think I'll check out Signal later and it looks like that's it for me this week.

Oh and since you mention liking going all-in on canon. There is a very loosely established multiverse and most of the games can technically be connected to each other, though it mostly amounts to minor plot elements connecting random games. If you want to go that route then you do want to play the SNES ones at some point, but starting with those will probably just make you hate everything.

and yeah ignore the actual Megami Tensei games

Persona and SMT aren't related in terms of plot/canon, so you don't necessarily have to play both.

Then how are they related? And how is MT related to SMT? Wikipedia is too confusing

Shin Megami Tensei is the "main series" of JRPGs. They're like the numbered Final Fantasy games.
Megami Tensei is the name of the overall franchise in Japan. This includes games such as Persona, Devil Summoner, and Devil Survivor, which are ostensibly spinoffs of SMT, despite not saying "Megami Tensei" on the box anymore. Except in America, they just translated all the various prefixes of "Megami x" as "Shin Megami Tensei" so it's used in the west to refer to the franchise by most people, in addition to MT/MegaTen. This leads to people thinking Persona isn't part of the franchise, as you see in this topic! Fun and not confusing!

Good entry points for MegaTen are:
- SMT3: Nocturne
- SMTIV
- Any Persona past 3
- Devil Survivor (Overclocked) if you like SRPGs
- Digital Devil Saga if you want something much more like a traditional JRPG (no monster recruitment)

In the meantime I've been re-reading more old comics. Like the first 6 issues of Planetary. Soooo good. Probably one of my top ten series of all time.

Oh, this reminds me, I got the Planetary Omnibus for Christmas this year! Unfortunately I have far too many non-comic books I'm reading currently so I'll have to put off digging into it, but I'm really looking forward to it since I love me some Ellis.

Question: Was Phasma really a woman? That eye bugs me. The entire point of the character was to have a "female Vader" for toys, yes, and pander to feminist bigots. The character was not explored at all and I forgot she existed until she showed up. If Rey also becomes a "female Vader" then Phasma's point was also that of distraction.

lmao what the fuck

I bet Boba Fett wasn't a man, either

It's not poor writing, it's poor worldbuilding. Very important distinction. Where Snoke came from or who he is simply isn't important to the story. Snoke is just a premise that the movie asks you to accept. It basically comes down to how much you care to suspend disbelief about the actual universe, not the story itself. And guess what, I bet most of the audience does not give a shit about being deeply immersed in the Star Wars universe, so it's a perfectly reasonable plan to not explain it at all in the movie and the people who care will get their explanation in the EU.

I tilted off Dungeon run pretty hard a few weeks ago when I made two awesome decks that both ran into their hard counter. First was a pretty awesome Demonzoo Warlock also with the perma-stealth + Mal'ganis combo. Ran into the guy that does 1 damage to all minions every turn and could never have a board. Other one was a Highlander Priest deck with some good passives. So of course I get the boss with instakill 1/1s and don't draw my Potion of Madness or anything proactive.

I might have tried a few times since then but got terrible, terrible runs so I haven't been back to it.

I never got the impression that Luke was the ultimate good-guy-team-player. He's an average schlub that gets thrown into a big space war with space wizards. Overall he does the right thing but he still struggles and has internal conflicts. I suppose this is just another disconnect I have with the SW fanbase.

Wow it's almost like over the past few decades, Luke has been built up as some sort of larger-than-life legend...

One thing that's hilarious to me about the merchandising is how hard they failed with BB-9E. I was in a Disney Store today and they probably had at least 30 unsold models of it. Saw similar stock of 9E Christmas ornaments and toys at Target when I was there.

I have a feeling we'll see more of BB-9E in Episode IX to move all his crap in two years.

I mean Mark Hamill himself agrees to some extent. Granted I'm not trying to claim playing Luke makes him the definitive source on the Luke Skywalker character but... he probably understands the character more than most people at least!

He's come out multiple times saying his initial impression was wrong and that the movie is much better for it. Please stop repeating this.

The map is really bad (I know it just got patched but it's still not GOOD), and there's this really strange gatcha box system with the blades (essentially a basic job system) that isn't entirely necessary but sure as hell makes you feel really bad about not farming for rares.

Also the side quests aren't NEARLY as bad as 1's but they are still somewhat tedious.

Oh also I'll echo your sentiment on that Mr. Freeze annual. I remember a lot of nerd outrage about his unsympathetic origin story, but honestly I think most of what could be done with the tragic Freeze had already been done. The revised version was pretty chilling (ha!) and I liked the change of pace.

Croc has taken the place of Batman's token sympathetic villain now and I'll take Croc over Freeze any day.

Man, Harper Row. What a weird character. I'd chalk it up to just another failed experiment of the New 52, but not even Snyder gave a shit about her. He basically teased her in a few arcs, then started teasing Duke and decided he was way more interesting.

I would liked to have seen Harper take up the Oracle role, since there's no interest in having Barbara do both that and Batgirl.
---

TFA definitely teased Rey having a mysterious and important background. But that actually makes the twist that she's a random nobody better. The fan reaction mirrors Rey's desparate need to understand herself almost exactly.

Also I keep seeing people say Holdo should have been a spy to "fix" whatever plothole they think that would fix, but come on. That actually creates a plothole bigger than anything else. Holdo is the god damn second in command, or at least very high rank. If she's a spy for NO, then Leia looks incompetent, the entire Resistance looks incompetent, and with a spy in such a high position of power within the Resistance, there's no reason why the NO wouldn't be working with basically perfect information in both movies.

Did we hit reset on Finn? Why did he seem to be sort of a coward again until Rose (who was awesome) made him grow a pair. Like, he already "manned up" in Force Awakens.

Nope, I thought this too at first, but everything he did in TFA was to protect Rey. The only "manning up" he did was realizing he cared about at least one thing other than himself. But he still thinks the First Order is unbeatable and the Resistance is pointless at the start of the movie. So when he wakes up and Rey is gone he has no reason to stick around.

Ugh, is Ursula that bad? I was looking forward to using her but that sounds like a nightmare. I pulled Dahlia as a temporary replacement but I don't really want to continue using Dahlia.

Phasma is basically the Boba Fett of the sequel trilogy. Doesn't do fucking ANYTHING but has a rad design and is cool as hell, so everyone loves them.

Boba Fett managed to survive his "death" in the old EU. I'm expecting Phasma to get the same treatment one day.

Actually, I think I still want to see a legitimate Kylo Ren face turn, if only because I'm really curious to see if Hux could potentially develop into a credible threat.

Don't get me wrong, I love him as a sniveling sycophant, but the scene where he's about to kill Kylo makes me wonder if he also has potential.

He can't.

He's got a fall coming for him.

I mean, he can be happy when he's dead. That's fine too.
