Grailed Habbycat to 100, append 10 on NP.
Her refund is pretty neat.

I think it's easier if you just take screenshots on your phone and post them.

Key area will almost always be get Castoria and Koyanskaya.

Pekora really dropping 5 figures on a sub 10 times use model.
Hololive talents have moved past the superchat phase of their careers too from the looks of it.

Expected tbh given their other revenue streams are more reliable.

Feel like if the game removed the World Intel stuff but kept the sidequests, it would be better.
Though I guess if you do that, the beautiful open world they made would feel empty.

Last year it made 19th, sounds like a show I'd send some saves to before dropping once I had to fully focus on my priority, but my secondary was Darling Dress Up, so maybe I didn't provide much support.

OddTaxi did make it all the way to finals and Frieren's been much better received.
Though OLM did have a hand in making The Apothecary Diaries.

For older shows that had a big moment but didn't win, I'll guess on uuuuh, Madoka, TTGL or DBZ.
Looks like I've only seen 32 shows from what made the field.

I'm guessing The Dangers in my Heart and 7th Time Loop might be up my alley though.

That's our runner up knocked out.
I wish Ufotable would animated Lostbelt 6, but I have a feeling if it gets animated it'll be in the hands of clvoerworks.

HoloGra team telling us with support Fantasy could turn into a full series hmm.

Yeah just cleared that Sidequest.
I suck and often fall off track, so hovering through and just skipping those parts helped a lot.

But even though I have a skill issue, cactuar gates aside, this was one of the strongest minigames.

Oh I see, all this time I've mostly been using Aponi as the cornering seems good and hover lets me just cut through the course.

Given that it's April 1st, lot of off the wall stuff.

Miko's been taken over by Mikodanye
Pekora announced mamalive
Koyori was taken over by an AI
Haachama doing some pig POV stream...though that's Haachama so sounds normal for her
Lot of gender bending, like Lui with the romance game PV.

I trust nothing to be real.

Aight, will put that on the backburner.

It seems i don't have the skill to complete the higher difficulty levels of Chocobo Racing but that's on me. Billy guess your closure is not for this run.

I do like how late game the loadouts have brought that same level of fun as the original. Always liked mix and matching materia to create certain types of character setups.
Yuffie is the most fun party member to play as, really like Tifa too.

Also like sticking Aeries somewhere as a comet bot, her wards come in handy when casting.

Any must complete sidequests from Chapter 12?

The way they all popped up at the start of the chapter tells me this is my last stop for those types of quests before moving on with the plot. Kinda like what happened with XVI.

But now that I'm so close to the home stretch I kinda actually do wanna get round to completing the story.
If there's shit to see before then I'm all ears.

XVI's side missions added to the game a lot ahead of the endgame.

I have played Mario Kart a total of less than an hour in my life so unfamiliar with how those games play.

Up to Chapter 12.
Chocobo Racing is gonna take a while to clear.

It's fun but challenging

So that's Psycho Pass out.

Think across both Rebirth and Remake, I'm not too keen on the way it incorporates puzzles and minigames.
It always slows down the pace, Rebirth has one of the nicest looking open world maps, but getting anywhere in some of the regions can be a pain because you're always running into something.

It's probably why I prefer Kalm and Nibelheim, you can get to where you want pretty painlessly.
Cities locales like Junon or Gold Saucer are the best because they're very straightforward.
So far I love when I make a beeline to end a chapter's plot, get to go through nice cutscenes, some great fights and you can feel the stakes rising.

Not a fan when going through the plot and you get a mediocre minigame stop starting and killing the pace as you need to figure out how it works. I went from hyped and looking forward to an expected encounter, to spending time on the phone looking up what I'm overlooking.

That was one thing I liked from the original, none of the locations overstayed their welcome, and the minigames aren't really puzzle based. Very quick and painless affair.

Right got it done, I saw that type of quest and started having Assassin's Creed Feathers visions.

Just reached the Chocosadge, think that's the first noticeboard sidequest that will have me tapping out.

Looking for for 30 pieces of Chocograss?
Is the reward for clearing this one worth it?

Got to the crate throwing minigame.

These are kinda tedious to do when we just had some exciting plot

On the cute girls front, it seems the Hologra team is doing something a little more ambitious with Hololive Fantasy.
Could be an origin story of sort for how the gen formed, but interested to see what they can do with more time.

Have we really reached zombie fatigue?

Monogatari

I'm very pro Kagurabachi, I wasn't all that aware of the reddit/twitter memes for it.

Sakamoto Days is the big action series that doesn't have an anime though.
I like it, the powers are pretty self explanatory so you don't have pages and pages breaking down the abilities and their conditions. It's usually a quick realisation mid battle.

This lets the author use less speech bubbles and focus on his fights building towards cool double page spreads.
As an added benefit, the fights have some of the best sense of movement in the magazine which makes the action feel much faster paced.

Correction made, I'm dumb.

Holo Fantasy were in the UK oh my....

Spring looks ok.
Morbidly curious to see the reaction to Re:Monster, one of my least favourite Isekais.

Traversal in Nibelheim feels so much better than any other region by far.
