Oh no really? I liked yesterday's slow trickle of saves making it easy to decide when to save and not panicking about making the wrong call. How many saves is it gonna be today, 24?

23 saves Day 97
25 saves Day 98

You would think the increase from 22 to 23 saves wouldn't be much... but looking at it the other way, max possible saves go down from 109 to 91. Considering we routinely get 60 saves in the first hour, count up the number of saves that happen on page 1, and you can do the math.

Question
How much time does day 98 usually last?
Is there a way to check?

Last year was 2 minutes. This year's gonna be sub-1.

"5 minutes"... tomorrow's H2 probably won't even last 5 minutes.

Martin I worry how you will react when Tifa exits the contest. Or for that matter how you'll react if she wins.

Easy - 2nd part of the video and 1st part of the video respectively, lol.

If she wins I'm coming back 1 more year for Sephiroth/Aerith here and LoGH in SMFAS and quitting everything forever thereafter. Though realistically next year should be the last year in any case, when it's fun, it's fun, but the last 3 weeks not so much. My personality just isn't suited for stuff like this, it's obsessive and unhealthy and I can't turn it off, at least at this time in my life, but probably ever.

...though that's how I feel right now and I'm sure I'll be right back here 12 months from now again, lol.

I liked S5 better than 4 (except for the ending of 5, that was disappointing)

I liked season 5 a lot since I love payback/revenge/retribution stories, but yeah the ending of season 5, damn.

Though I think you're referring to the "curtain" scene, for me there's that one moment (S5 ending spoilers):

When they've killed all the guys, and Lumen and Dexter are on his boat, whipping through the water, sun setting in the distant, wind flowing through her hair and she turns around with a big smile on her face, and Dexter's also kind of smiling in his Dexter-y way...

And what I would do if I had video editing software is I'd end the episode there, fade to black, cut out everything that happens afterwards and say Dex and Lumen lived happily ever after the end. No disappointing end after that scene, no seasons 6-8. And I'd tell people to watch Seasons 1 through 5 up to the S5 finale and then watched my edited version of the finale, lol.

I also remember liking season 7 but I don't know if it's just because of how bad Season 6 was (where I remember the main villain but literally can't remember anything else) and the expectations were already lowered...

yo Martin what were your top 5 predix again and how did they do? I know you did two batches and one had Seymour and the other had Delita so that's somethin.

Original top 5 prediction (Day 17):

Kefka
Squall
Seymour
One FF4 (likely Kain)
One FF7 (likely Aerith, though Tifa preferred...)

Updated top 5 prediction (Day 80/top 20):

Kefka
Squall
Aerith
Delita
Red XIII

-Seymour drops out from the original predix... I still want to believe but I'm just not seeing, it but a good-enough shift of "gray" in his direction could still do it
-Red XIII replicates last year's run and actually makes the top 5 this time (this is the softest of the top 5 predix)
-Cecil/Kain consolidation doesn't happen and they go out separately
-Delita... just wait. This is a real dark horse. I see it happening. When he makes the top 5, you can blame yourself or God for letting it happen.

Seymour got the "shift" needed with a few extra savers. Red's run ending early, I definitely miscalculated the support shifting. Kefka's end was a big surprise but again, think he had a few backers who were still working on still-alive characters... and Aerith, well, yeah. Still funny how the ~80 round ago prediction is 3/5 and the revised recent one is 2/5.

I nailed the Delita prediction though, and he is undeniably the #1 strongest character remaining in the top 5 at the moment.

ok @captaincanadian I'll take the NR on Day 97, please. Thanks!

Nanis23 posted...
Interesting, glad to hear that!
How is the gameplay, though? I have yet to play a non-turn based FF game yet
But from the first real trailer they released, a boss fight against that Scorpion mecha iirc, it looked kinda drawn out, like 7 minutes long boss fight which looked a little too drawn out, imo

I look back on the battle system now thinking how frustrated I was in the first playthrough, because there was a real learning curve, and frankly I was just not playing the game properly. Really just user error.

Once you get the hang of it, it flows so seamlessly and is really a delight... and hard mode is really a great experience too.

Just 6 more months until the PS4 exclusivity window is over, hopefully there's a PC/Steam release right then on April 9 so more people can experience it...

I take back any theories I said before involving his son, for some reason I thought the show went off the air a lot longer ago but it's only been 7 years, if they kept it "real time" he'd be a teenager... though I guess they could timeskip a few extra years.

This show is going to be trash, just like the last 2 seasons were. Short of it getting Breaking Bad level reviews, I'm not going to bother

It's with the showrunner from the first 4 seasons, you gotta believe it'll be completely different from the end (with the bad writers and the bad showrunner)... you gotta believe...

lol. I did say it'd be a clich!

Alternatively they don't go the "surprise" route, they let us know that right from episode 1: he's watching the tv show/news coverage/whatever, they're talking about the serial killer and the motif he uses, and it's something that relates to Harrison's childhood so only Dexter would recognize it. Dark passenger reawakened and that's what gets him back in the game.

Ok I like that plan more than the obvious reveal.

Ok I looked up an article - "Hall joins original series showrunner Clyde Phillips, who steered the show for Dexter's first four seasons before stepping down"

Good, step 1 complete.

PerfectChaosZ posted...
Is it set in Oregon?

No details on story or what "coming back" means but let me trot out my television (and Dexter) cliches

-Show starts off in the "present" (Oregon, still logging?)
-Dexter hears about serial killer in news, dark passenger reawakens for whatever reason
-Back in the game, goes to city (maybe Miami?) to track him down
-Periodic flashbacks to some case which is how we get Deb and the Miami crew into this series
-Finally catches serial killer, spoiler: it's his son

At this point I'd be surprised if they didn't go the "son's a serial killer" route.

Hahaha yeah, for one contest I was that guy... the person in the office who knows nothing about college basketball but takes part in the March Madness pool.

There's something about Dedede's design, I can't explain it, I just love it. I did watch plenty of Kirby & Smash vids featuring him on youtube and if I played Smash I'd likely be a Dedede main.

But I also think both times he ran it I was starved to participate in something and the bot contests are zero pressure really. Well, zero pressure but requiring nighttime saving...

Never had a Nintendo console other than a Wii, which I bought for Mariokart only and gave it away years ago. And I'm very limited in my gaming anyways, only time I ever played fighting games was like, MKII, SFII and the original SSB at friends' houses back in high school. Ah, Dissidia on the PSP I guess, that's it.

I'm pretty much just an RPG guy, very little branching out... Shadow of the Colossus, ICO, Silent Hill 2 and sitting on unplayed Last Guardian and Death Stranding. MGS and Katamari games back in the 2000s. Can't immediately think of anything else anytime recently.
