i'm honestly confused how sex with your kids is higher in the rankings than sex with kids period.
like what fuckery was needed in the algorithm to pull that off?

i just have a lot of bonus units in the first place.
Noctis, friend Noctis are popping up everywhere, and two 4* round me out.

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

oh if it's clothing i haven't a clue. mom never shopped for that on black friday, i've had no reason to buy it ever, so women's clothing or designer stuff is as far a world from me as you'll get.
---

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

man, Noctis really does just rack numbers up with ease. even at 5* mine is at 600 ATK and he ain't even maxed out.

body shop's my go to for female stuff and frankly some of it is good period. that tea tree oil is super good, their butters and creams are nice, their shampoo and conditioner are... okay. i've got great hair so i'm biased to trying some of their stuff but i've found that mixing the body butter with the tea tree oil makes for a nice blend for the hair too. the vitamin c stuff, while expensive, is also pretty incredible... though i tend to wait for more significant discounts on 'em (e.g., 3 for $30 last year is where i got mine).

they've just been kinda shit this year with the sales. the select 50% off sales were part of the two-part standard: 3 for $30 in BF, 50% off select items for cyber monday, and a few weeks later they start clearing out the holiday stuff. on top of that they used to have certain offers like $15 off $75 and 10% off shop your body members, right now i don't think either of those exists and they changed membership styles. on the sales sequence this year: the first didn't happen, the second thankfully did, and 2/3 of their holiday stuff are repeat flavors i think, though vanilla chai was pretty nice. but i always keep an eye on 'em this season, even if i'm just shopping for myself at this point.

fortunately they still get 5% via chase cashbacks so i can use that.
if you want expensive female stuff, sephora tends to be used but i don't use that.
if you were looking for more uh... normal stuff, walgreens just finished a nice enough sale on shampoos/conditioners, i just have way too much still from last year for most of it. not sure what amazon's situation is, amazon pantry had some nice things over the past 2-3 days. both are basically "see what coupons still exist."

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

the best was Meijer, which had a $30 GC.
if you're going for Switch + pro controller + Mario Odyssey + minor freebie or two, there are bundles that are $440+ but that's not really worth it.

cashbacks and checkout discounts are the best ones right now.
---

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

body shop has changed their deal finally.
buy 3 get 3 free - meh
40% off storewide - meh
50% off select products - now we're on to the standard.
they didn't do a 3 for $30 sale this year (yet?) and the seasonal stuff hasn't gone on sale yet but hey. they changed a lot up over the past year.

cyber monday stuff starting to roll out and... surprising sale with newegg:

thank you jesus for ending those two women from universe 2.
and i'm laughing so hard at everyone else in U7 being featured except Frieza.

"hey, goku's in trouble in a 3 on 1" seems like a good cue for him to come in, damn near kill them, and knock 'em out. but nope. he's just completely hidden again. Toppo also just disappeared too so maybe that'd be what's getting set up?

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

well no, if you're working on any right now then you continue those.
what i've done lately is get a moogle and keep fusing others into him, not prioritizing anything in particular because we don't have to anymore.

when i pull something i know i should grind out ASAP i pop that unit with it. alternatively when i hit a trial that would be best with a specific TMR, i pop that moogle. rainbow robe might fit the latter, especially if you contact support and get her to 7* when the time comes, which you should. she becomes a godly support unit who doesn't die.
---

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

i don't TMR farm either.
you can totally get two with how many moogles they throw at us.

Fry's is one of those stores that always has great deals but has the WORST website possible.
always frustrates me to the point where i just fuck off. but if you got one nearby, always check it out this time of year, some amazing stuff.

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

yeah, newegg is stupid fast this year. i ordered my PS4 Monday, expected to get it this upcoming Tuesday, i got it the very next day.

you enjoy her bard stuff that's okay now and great post-enhancements, her having a wind/light 20 hit chain ability (30 post enhancements), and some high damage wind/light attacks that get better over time.

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

i finally have a 5* dupe...

Zarga.

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

for spells, she gains curaja, tornado, quake. bear in mind she's able to DC any mix of these, so her raw healing ability becomes Ayaka/CG Fina tier; for raw magic she competes with the best black mages.

casual thing is +20% DEF.

equipping her TMR - 30% HP/MP boost - she also gets +30% MAG, +30% SPR, and a 50% counter chance to heal with curaga and status effect heal.

equipping daggers continues to boost her, +30% MAG/SPR, +20% HP/MP. stacks with her older passive too.

Japanese version never did get dagger boomerang so she's got some stuff that seems like it came to match that, a single target 640% 9-hit ability with 60% SPR break.

she can auto-fill the summon gauge at the cost of killing herself, making esper summon missions easy. this has a 3 turn cooldown.

using half her LB meter can give your party a 180MP regen. her LB is pretty meh still anyway and it's a really easy one to raise.

finally, on 5 turn cooldown, she's got an AoE 3 turn auto-revive + 3 turn damage reduction + 3 turn 100% boost to DEF and SPR. basically an on-demand Rikku LB+ every 5 turns.

wrapping her up, should you equip her with her TMR and a dagger, you end up getting an additional +60% MAG, +60% SPR, +50% HP, +50% MP, and +20% DEF. then all those skills and spells that make her an MP battery, counter-healer, reviver/buffer, useful for summon gauges, and better DPS.

rainbow rates are now 3%.
a slew of bundles.
7* was announced for Japan, two 5* units are needed. some, like Ace and Rem, got massively better and they're actively trying to make DH on par as DW.

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

yeah, the internet has been great for that. i went to bed late and got up at noon, already knowing i didn't have anything i was particularly after.

---

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

currently am trying to figure out what LB are worth raising.
Noctis i know is a yes. even at 6* he's good, just takes forever.
Delita's sucks as a 6* but when he hits 7* the modifier goes nuts, from 390% and 74% silence to 1240% and 100% silence. then again, that needs another Delita so meh.
---

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

works, yes.
https://slickdeals.net/f/10885807
Dell Home includes where you get this.

deal itself was on SD:

https://slickdeals.net/f/10887803

similar laptops were also posted about by people 10+ years. like this one, which legit may be better:
https://slickdeals.net/f/10908215

downside: 1050 Ti < 1060
upsides: 7700 > 7300 (especially if doing any video editing, hyper threading is in the 7700 and not the other), 16GB RAM > 8GB RAM

but when dealing with rebates i do always stick with being 1) very anal about it, and 2) if you aren't comfortable with it, don't do it. $50 or whatever i've done plenty of times, if i'm looking at a $150 rebate i'd document everything multiple times over, make 100% sure that i'm doing everything right, then make 100% sure i did that right 2-3 times. and i'd do that within 3 days to send it out within 5. obviously you don't have to but that's a good chunk of change to get back later and i wouldn't play with it.
---

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

yeah, cyber monday is an excuse to sell other stock so they don't blow their loads on black friday.
as are the next 2 weeks.

...meanwhile i'm now annoyed that one of the two PS4 SRW games is out of print on the Asia version with English. guess i'm picking up SRW V before it's too late.
---

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

one thing you may not get immediately from her 7* form is that the 7 turn cooldown doesn't need to just be defense focused. Lira's got a chainable, powerful SPR-based skill so you pretty much get her at 200% damage for that one turn.

but yeah, wearing her TMR she ends up with 80% resistance to all elements + DEF/SPR each boosted by 40% + 100% camo.

with an extra 20% of HP, a single target mana battery, and a "fuck you thresholds" skill. she's a mage-tank.
---

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

she is indeed on the 7* list and is a pretty great one.
---

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

bundles in shop:

black friday booster - $.99, energy (one lump sum!) + ticket
adamanite chest of hope - $24.99, 10x tickets + 4000 lapis

a 5000 lapis bundle also exists that has a 10+1 ticket, a trust moogle a weapon, and an ability. dunno the qualities of the others yet.

and the BF bundle... at $74.99.
10 tickets
4* tickets x2
30 10 energy bottles
and 15k lapis

but again, that thing is $75.

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

i'm in agreement with red here, i still don't consider 4K to really be much more than a gimmick. its effects aren't nearly as pronounced and if you're seriously going to make that jump for a good chunk of change, it'd better be a 70"+ TV. if it's <$300 i can't say much but anything over better be gigantic or it's a waste right now.
---

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

that's how the lines work, yeah. people who get those very rare items are unfortunately the people who have zero value of time and just see sale. you won't find a deal as crazy as that one but there's plenty of excellent TVs on sale. personally i'd rather spend the extra $20 than be on a line for 6+ hours, which is the bare minimum of what you need for 'em.

best buy's lines weren't as bad years ago but that's because they had competition. nowadays they're the electronic store so everyone goes to them. they're also really, really good every year so it's annoying. personally i just buy stuff online the Monday black friday happens because i've been an Elite member for a while and BF kind of makes a self-fullfilling prophecy for the next year.

net $750 for a GTX 1060 laptop:
http://deals.dell.com/productdetail/ox6

so this laptop's $900 by default but there's a $150 rebate from slickdeals. i assume some promotion being run there:

https://slickdeals.4myrebate.com/?oc=SKD-10443&sdtid=10887803

but you do gotta have $900 to spend up front for it as opposed to the $600-700 for the 1050 or 1050 Ti machines. significant difference all around but that's - for now - the cheapest 1060 laptop out there.

there's a sale i didn't see before on best buy right now.

pretty sure that's logitech's best-in-class sensor and though the mechanical keys are their custom ones, they're supposedly pretty good (to those aware, most similar to Cherry Browns). very nice combo.

current best is that one, i think, though it's also $700. that basically does mean ignore the higher priced newegg one really.

1050 Ti is an improvement over the 1050.
256GB SSD but again, that price point has plummeted pretty hard so keep that in mind. also keep in mind that with modern games being like 60GB you're probably not getting too many of those in one run.

it's the matter of the GPU there. at low levels it's a notable performance increase, at high levels it gets pretty small.

will look around for some 1060 deals...
---

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

whoops, forgot to tag this before.
you already went with the 1050 laptop, alright. not a bad choice, just budget dependent is all. this one's a weaker version that was technically $30 cheaper:

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834154734

but the difference of 2 and 4 VRAM is relevant, though not incredibly so as few games will capitalize on that with the other limits (GPU, 1080p). that newegg one is the same base as this one below that's an extra $130, though it exchanges the CPU for something better (hyper threading, higher clock) and adds an SSD. that said it ends up being $730 post rebate.

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834154733

So I'm looking at this one:

https://m.costco.com/Acer-Nitro-5-Laptop---Intel-Core-i5---4GB-NVIDIA-Graphics---1080p.product.100382523.html

If anyone has opinions on this, it would be appreciated.

Costco's has the same 7300HQ found in the $650/600 laptop mentioned above but this one has 1) 4GB VRAM, 2) 256GB SSD as opposed to 1TB (surprisingly it's 7200 RPM, so pretty good). between those two it's probably worth the jump though not that great a difference as the SSD to 1TB tradeoff is pretty similar these days, price-wise.
---

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

i believe if you really want it to work well you plug in the ethernet. otherwise you're probably best sticking to stuff that's turnbased and/or doing 720p.
