I might honestly be game for Wand of Gamelon and Faces of Evil if I can find a way to play them.

Zelda's Adventure is an absolute fuck no, though.

Theres PC ports with unlimited lives and other minor QoL.

The fact that people still believe the leaks then throw a tantrum when the leaked character isnt announced baffles me.

They aren't complaining the leak isnt real, theyre complaining its another Fire Emblem character instead of someone cool like whoever the leak suggested.

I wish I you could just buy gacha games for like $50 and turn off the gacha. I wouldve bought Fire Emblem. But then I missed my free orbs one day and realized I'll never have enough and I could miss them again.

You put way more effort into this than anyone else will.

But, its an excuse to mention some toys I saw the other day...

Mario Kart Hot Wheels
Mario playsets, like a ghost house with figurines.
An Eevee that turns its head and replies when you talk to it.

That's all I remember actually but man; didn't have video game toys when I was growing up. So... They wouldn't be in this game show I reckon. Like If I could make stuff up Id just say a bunch of Nintendo action figures, especially Zelda.

Playing with your map... I wanna say take a cart full of legos straight to the goal. Grab some pokemon cards on the way back to the carts. Probably cant carry many but saves time right? Then if I get half a cart of action figures and half games... Grab more cards on the way back and... Should have just enough time for one more cart full of games?

I think PS1 was fairly new when I was 13, I wonder if they would still have SNES games; either way squaresoft is a priority... If I can't have video game/anime action figures then Im looking for Ninja Turtles and Pokemon. For the legos I would prefer medieval themed.

What? I thought it was the fated Shishio fight.

It was like a movie or OVA or whatever, after Shishio. Way later, actually, obviously.

When ya'll say its faithful to the original, does that mean the finale is the same as the anime?
Where Kenshin gave Kaoru aids and got amnesia but was trying to find her and they died like 10 feet apart without knowing it?
Cause that sucked. Like I think the voice acting and animation and stuff was bad too, I don't know; I don't want to remember.

I thought they found pictures & stuff a while after he died? It sucks but its a wide spread problem in Hollywood. Even Elvis had a bad age gap with his wife.

TLDR; A small rotation plus a bunch I outgrew. Packrat & cheapskate.

2 jeans, 2 sweatshorts to do laundry/sleep in.

Like a dozen video game shirts, half are dark blue so I don't wear them much because they don't match the jeans. Ive heard khaki is the answer but Im thinking brown might be better than tan, possibly because Im kinda pale.

3 long sleeves & 2 thermals to wear under tshirts. 1 regular hoodie and 1 thin. Need more thermals.

Lost 10 inches over the course of 2020, still got the dozen fat jeans & cargo shorts... Just in case? Should get rid of them & get a few more that fit right.

Wanna get a few anime shirts or something but its hard to find something decent, series I want, and cheap.

I discussed something like this with my brother-in-law last week. Basically he doesn't know what to think because both sides are saying so many things he has no idea whats true or not. Like he's not intentionally ignorant like a republican or whatever; he's just a C student at best due to genetics & parenting, etc.

He was never taught to think critically, so he can't even if he wants to. He's stuck in indecision which is effectively doing nothing... In this case; doing nothing is the same as not getting the vaccine.

I mean just because its not mandatory doesnt mean they can't go get it on their own.

I might settle for that but I really wish it was more. Like I did the math a long time ago: 3.65mil @ 0.01% interest is $100 a day. Like thats a crappy interest rate so Id do a lot of things for as little as three and a half or a better interest rate. Even 1% makes me name my firstborn Bobby for 36.5k.

And let me tell you what; that boy aint right.

Luanne if its a girl.

Im pretty sure there was an episode of one of the good cartoons (87 or early 2k which was based on the comics) where they were fighting some kind of enemies who could predict thier every move because they knew their fighting styles. So after a while they realized what was going on and swapped.

TLDR they switched to controller port 2 fighting Psycho Mantis.

Speaking of turn order, you can also check the 'turn order' of spells by pressing (swiping?) sideways when selecting which spell to cast.

Keep in mind that turn order can change. Normally a turn is given when a character has 100 CT, which they acquire at a rate equal to their Speed stat. However, if you only Move OR Act, then you get 20 CT towards your next turn & 40 if you do neither.

With that said, its possible to 'dodge' or retarget spells aimed at a character by manipulating turn order.

Unfortunately, characters start outspeeding magic more often in the endgame which makes melee classes superior. The game is unbalanced in a thousand ways at that point so it doesn't really matter though. Still fantastic.

I remember it being pretty decent but I sucked at it and just played as the redhead to spam healing magic. In the end I got good with the blonde guy and combo'd like crazy.

That running out of MP nonsense sounds like BS that would have made me quit though. I must have never run into it because Im not just overconservative elixers but MP as well. Took me a long time to appreciate black mages in Final Fantasy.

Judging by your sig theres nothing I can say that you will agree with so I wont bother.

I probably wont agree either, but Im honestly curious what this major difference between gay marriage and straight marriage is?

I mean if its something legal like adoption then that should be changed as well so thats a moot point.

And if its something like religion... We can either question Gods existence or argue Jesus died to forgive "sins" like gay marriage so it should be gravy anyways.

Gotta agree with Megaman X, the Zero series is solid but not flawless or revolutionary like X1.

Actraiser would be an easy sell but the city building isnt as interesting as you all think because its the same everytime, so it's just a chore your umpteenth run through the game.

Im going with... Final Fantasy Tactics, its an easy pick but there isn't a single SRPG that doesn't wish it was FFT. It has flaws but the engine is the ideal baseline mechanics.

Theres the job & skill systems, the 3 turn permadeath to fix critical hit BS unlike Fire Emblem, the CT system to mix up turn order and spellcasting; being able to move & act in any order and get your turn faster if you don't is a failure of so many other SRPGs. AoEs are so fun in an SRPG, why do so many shy away from them? Five characters per a battle is just right, using a dozen in FE is too many without Awakening's pairup.

The storyline too; Delita goes through such an amazing & tragic arc.

Nobody wants to hurt animals but I was trying to feed a squirrel like a month ago and it almost got caught by a crow and I was like "yo, fuck that bird" and scared it away. Then I thought about how I robbed its babies of a meal and interupted the circle of life. Like what was even the point of watching the Lion King if I didn't learn anything from it?

but this is for kids three and under.

Do we need to introduce it THAT early? Its not like kids are born with racism, especially not children of parents who would even buy a book like that in the first place.

Its not a children's book about racism, its a bookshelf trophy for the virtue signaling parents.

Im not upset, Im just saying its a bad book that will be forgotten like you said. Its a shame it tarnishes political discourse on its way to obscurity though. Even by an insignificant amount. Last straw vs camels back, etc.

Was it ever not?

It sadly has been for a long time if not always but Im saying it never should have been. Accepting people should be good manners, not something on the balot. You don't see arguments over 'please & thank you' or keeping your elbows off the table. We should argue about taxes instead of civil rights because rights should be obvious.

Can the antiracist book be less transparent though? Like Im all for teaching kids good morals but its better to let them figure it out for themselves instead of just telling them what to think.

How about a fantasy story about elves being oppressed until a Romeo & Juliet-esque tragedy? I mean make it obvious & engage with the kid to see if they got the point, but don't just spell it out.

Naming the book literally "Antiracist Baby" is just making it politically charged for the sake of being politically charged. Can we not make everything political? Why does racism & transphobia have to be political?

I could agree Melee doesnt matter anymore because of Ultimate. Zelda & Mario actually have bad intros though which hurts replay value. Like Mario fights the muddy piranha like 3 times in the first hour. Zelda takes away your sword as soon as you get it. The rest is good but they start slow.

If 4 Swords had better multiplayer it could be the best. I can't think of any others though. GameCube was honestly as bad as Wii/U & N64(-Rare).
