"Flippant" is a kind way of putting it - this is gamergate shit straight up

Without a doubt. Nobody made a topic to cheer his death. But a GGer made a topic to blame a victim who did not do a single thing wrong.

It's fucking disgusting. Fuck you, jcgamer.

Blaming any of the consequences of his own actions on Quinn is embracing the internet mob mentality that you so readily decry.

It's a shitty situation all around, but victim blaming is straight bullshit. Good to know you're a hypocritical ass.

One thing I don't like about this game is that a lot of quests abruptly place you into battle with no relevant story reasoning for doing so. Just abrupt cut to battle.

A couple story sections have done it and then Ingrid's paralogue did it.

It's really bad. The first few times it happened, I was convinced I had somehow accidentally skipped the relevant intro scenes.

Yeah i did the same thing. But honestly I'm fine with not recruiting a lot of students since i intend to play all routes eventually.

Just give them gifts and spend your free time on tea if you desperately want someone to like you

I agree, 80% of my learning has been from Google, looking at other people's work and walking through it, and recording and cleaning.

Also a lot of struggling and running it line by line.

Hilda had better get some amazing characterization in the GD route, because from my limited exposure with her she's extremely unpleasant.

Her support with Marianne is really what sold me on her.

Now that I'm a good chunk into the time skip, I can't help but find myself wishing that the monastery had been destroyed at the end of Part 1. The game flow just doesn't seem to benefit from having it around after that. It's amazing how well paced your army growth is in the first part; you get everyone into their advanced classes just in time for the skip and in a lot of ways it feels like you've finished raising your students. But now everything just keeps going like it did and I'm swimming in activity points that really only go toward spamming meals for support and motivation so I can spam instruction and slowly turn A ranks into S ranks.

It just doesn't seem worth having in exchange for how much better the story pacing in this stretch could have been. This by itself might be what ends up having this game take second place to PoR for me.

I'm actually glad that the BE/BL routes are shorter than GD, because the GD post-skip was really painful in between chapters. I straight up just rested some weeks because i didn't even care to do much of anything with the monastery. After a couple chapters I thought to myself, it would be funny to train Raphael on horses, starting from 0, just to see if I can make him a great knight by the end. And I accomplished that, and still had time leftover. It was absurd how empty and soulless it got to be.

Not quite a legion, but I tried the series because it was recommended by Chris and other board 8ers.

I feel like the b8 book hierarchy is Mistborn > Dresden > HP. Maybe Dark Tower in fourth.

I did give Dark Tower a go because of b8. I want to say it was actually cokes' mafia theme that made it sound interesting?

To clarify, she wasn't great for me until i turned her into a flier and gave her the accuracy ring. Then she duo'd maps with Seteth and their support made me happy.

Also since we were talking about due process and it affecting citizens: https://twitter.com/ACLU/status/1164613476599435270

A US citizen - despite carrying a US passport, driver's license, and social security card - was detained for four days. Sheriff's office said they had a policy of detaining all Latinx people for immigration review.

So this is all sorts of illegal, the ACLU will win the lawsuit and... nothing will come of it except a taxpayer-funded settlement, probably.

Meanwhile the Sheriff and his associates will still have jobs in law enforcement where they can continue promoting/doing racist and white supremacist shit like this, and Trump supporters will literally support this.

Yep.

I have reset this mission 8 times because Ashe can get a level up immediately and he needs some more strength. No dice so far. The things I do for my pet favorite characters.

Level up gains are set in stone at the beginning of the level, or something like that, i think? So if you're just soft resetting you might not meet much success

An undocumented Chinese restaurant worker has been fighting for backpay to the tune of $200K. Then ICE arrested him while giving a deposition in a lawsuit.

More evidence that ICE is being used as a weapon by employers to avoid accountability. https://t.co/x2SqeWuJSS

Your reminder that the right is fine with employing undocumented workers, only for as long as they agree to be abused by the system.

Denying it to non citizens transitions nicely into denying it for "not really citizens" as we've seen with the recent reliance on ancient anti semitic tropes and accusations of disloyalty.

I started BL last night and yeah, Dimitri wrecked face in that first mock battle. I quickly made sure to support up Lys and Lorenz so I could get my nuke back, but I'm having second thoughts. If I'm not using her every battle and training her up, she won't be nearly as good as she was in my GD run. I want to actually use the characters in the house... hmmm.

Again, Trump will never be removed from office via impeachment proceedings because he cannot be indicted with a republican senate. It is a pointless headline to care about.

It literally is only being spung up to keep it in the news to try and hurt Trump upon re-election. Pointless.

I find this surprising coming from you considering how much you respect law and order.

Are you admitting that our government is too partisan to ever function properly?

Law and order when it's applied to people he dislikes, there's a difference

I just finished Golden Deer.

I was a little underwhelmed. Spent the whole second chapter rebelling against the Black Eagles and then it felt like they just tacked on two more battles at the end against the true evil and the true true evil after the true evil was taken care of. Probably doesn't help that I didn't really like the church and yet I was forced to be on their side.

I agree with all this, but your character ranking sucks. Leonie is top tier.

Finally beat the GD route. I'm a little burned out so I think I'll go with the BL next, less of a focus on the whole church thing.

I rested instead of battle out explore for the last two months and I still felt vastly over leveled for literally everything other than Nemesis. He'd have been much more difficult without Lys and Luna, that's for sure. But I was disappointed that the reanimated elites were mostly pushovers, even with plain old silver weapons.

People are too easily offended these days - and some people will be offended by me saying that - so I try to stay out of politics. People who have had distorted values instilled in them by the news media just don't take reality checks well, so I stay away. I feel that this makes my moderate-conservative viewpoints censored to some effect, but I'm kind of okay with that. In the open spaces of the Internets, at least.

What a cute persecution complex
