The welfare CE is one of the best CEs in the game, and the "dig site" minigame is a pseudo-lotto. I'm iffy on the story so far but it's absolutely worth doing just for the rewards. Hard to turn down more Crystallized Lores.

Also what is this CE called?

Yup I started going into it just skipping the story and the rewards seem very nice.

Thoughts on the ending?

It was good. It felt slightly rushed. I felt like there should've been more Abby/Ritsuka interaction throughout the story to make the ending have a bit more gravity, but overall it was still very good. I like that Sanson got to keep his pre-Salem memories, also.

Not sure if you noticed, but there's an event going on now. It's available to everyone, and it's a sequel to the All the Statesmen event, which is now free in the Rare Prism shop (which you get a free new Servant for doing). There's also a new Servant in the FP gacha, so now's the best time to roll all your FP if you have any extra.

I got that Servant, and I'll go check out the All the Statesmen thing. Does this event drop any worthwhile rewards? coz I was gonna skip it due to not liking the art style at all.

For some reason it only just now clicked that with Salem you could absolutely do an amazing FGO/Yharnam crossover with the Elder Gods involved.

Salem beated. Epic of Remnant beated.

Let's go!

Proud of the boys for the fightback they showed today. Really stood up and performed on a day where they could've crumbled. Where last year the WOULD have crumbled.

Top of the league. COME ON. If we win on Tuesday, by the time City play on Thursday we could be 4 points clear of them.

Do we think Chelsea are demoralized from having their season ended today or will they be up for it at the Emirates?

I wasn't liking Salem at first, thought it started a little slow.

But they're really cooking now. All hell has well and truly broke loose.

I guess with them all being nerfed that makes more sense. Seeing as if the whole town turned it into a fight, we'd lose on numbers.

Do they explain why they couldn't just beat the hell out of these obnoxious puritans? Coz trying to 'lay low' is silly when the population of the town is that low. Whoever the enemy is knows they're there and who they are ffs.

This Hopkins guy is a fuckin bastard.

We're the farmers league after all.

It's a pretty dope song. They know what they're doing with the promo material, for sure.

I've seen enough from the ppl in Salem to think that the better approach here would've just been to come in and start laying the smack down on these people. None of this skirting around the edges pretending to be performers. This Hopkins guy needs the hell beaten out of him and to be thrown in that cell.

Also Sanson seems totally different from Orleans? Did he just mellow out from the resolution there and chilling in Chaldea, or in Orleans was he under some spell from Jalter/Gilles??

Can I just say how fucking dope it is that they combined something that's already as horrifying as the witch trials with ELDRITCH HORROR?

Too good. FGO is so amazing.

Ederson really is a fucking madlad stepping up and burying a penalty like that, then going right back into goal. He almost got to Rudiger's too, just dove a second too late.

Arteta losing to Villa and then going out of the CL just to make sure Sp*rs don't make the competition is too galaxy brained for many of us to understand.

I'm impressed with how we've played in the first half. Wish we'd taken one of our chances. Incredible to go to the Allianz Arena and push Bayern Munich that far back in their own ground.

Anyone who is watching the other game, give me something. How has it looked?

I just don't want to see Cody get turned on in yet another company by fans that spent two years clamoring for him.

So is this just typical IWC waffle or has Cody's first week+ as champion really been so boring that people are tired of it already lol

Okay, fine, I guess you didn't like my topic!

I still can't find yours, man! I searched "foot" and "prem" before I made this! We can use yours... but I'd have to be able to find it lol

Two absolutely massive fixtures to determine the other half of the Champions League semi-final tomorrow. Two ties on a knife edge.

Bayern (2) v. Arsenal (2)

Man City (3) v. Real Madrid (3)

Should be a fun day... for the neutral. I'm sick to my damn stomach already.

also while I can't forgive where he went, we didn't do ourselves favors with Cashley. We low-balled that man on a contract offer so embarrassingly.

Oh I definitely understand the Henry move in hindsight, but at the time it was very painful. And it does add nicely to the list of everything else they did.

Fair play to Dortmund. When they surrendered the 2-0 lead you might've thought "same old Dortmund" but they turned it around.

well that was absolutely beautiful chaos there

Dembele taking his time coming off and driving the Barcelona fans into hysterics, lmao

Even with ten men, Barca have had their chances. That Gundogan one that hit the post I was sure he was gonna score.

Don't know why he took Barcola off, dude stepped up big time.

Don't worry though if there's one team that could throw away all this momentum it's PSG.

Yeah they were cruising. The defense was playing well, they looked dangerous on every attack.

welp PSG are done

You guys are taking me supporting PSG in this tie as me supporting PSG in general. They are just the lesser of two evils and I can absolutely count on them to shit the bed in later rounds, where-as I'm not entirely confident of Barca doing that. Plus do we really need to see yet another Barca/Atletico CL tie?

Coz while they did take Fabregas and Henry from us, we did at the same time absolutely fleece them for Hleb, Alex Song, and Vermaelen.

It started in Paris 06. Then they took Henry. Then in 2011, the Van Persie red card robbed us during a tie we were superior in.

Then they spent two years tapping up and taking Cesc Fabregas from us.

I can't really hold the various Messi demolitions against them, but what I do hold against them is the way they financially mismanaged their dominant position at the top of world football. HOW could you let that fall apart. You had the best team arguably ever for most of a decade. That should've been a platform to set you up financially to succeed FOREVER, and now they're selling the rights to their stadium just to make ends meet? Shambles.

Oh also you guys don't have to worry too much about spoiling me. Not only do I watch half hour length lore videos before I even get started, I am constantly bouncing around the wiki.

I do not tie my enjoyment of stories to not being spoiled about twists, because I'm an adult not a child lol

I watched the Lore video for the Lostbelt prologue and LB1.

Holy SHIT I didn't realize how nuts this Lostbelt thing was. So for the entirety of part two are we just confined to that battle tank since they took Chaldea away from us???

I absolutely despise Barcelona. I honestly might hate them more than I hate Chelsea even. They are one of my all time least favorite clubs. I think the way they've kept kicking the can down the road as far as their finances go has been hilarious, and the sooner they get dumped out the CL the better because it means they make less money.

Because I loathe Barcelona more, and I know that even if PSG get past them, they will choke at some point down the road anyway.

Hoping for PSG and Dortmund today but could see any combo of results.

from that banner I better at least get Barghest and Baobahn Sith up an NP level each. If I'm being greedy would love to get np5 for my red haired murder machine

Guys since I got Morgan, should that change my strategy for the anniversary GSSR?

that Koyanskaya of Light banner looks lit. I could also try for Merlin or Melusine...

The single bad call I've ever seen go against Manchester City was the Fernandes goal at Old Trafford last year when Rashford was clearly offside.

And that can just be chalked up to Old Trafford more than something actually going against City. We had an even more egregious one go against us at Old Trafford last season as well.

Nowhere before this run by Guardiola in the league's history did you need MINIMUM 90 points to even think about a league title. In previous, fair iterations of the premier league, LFC and Arsenal would both have been able to slip up like this and have it not feel like the ultimate dagger.

On top of having three starters for every position and being able to constantly rotate, City also get the benefit of EVERY refereeing decision. Doku's karate kick not being a penalty is the latest in a long string of decisions absolutely always going their way. Rodri's handball against Everton is another one that springs to mind.

What's even more of a joke is that while the powers at be drag their feet about doing anything about all of this sportswashed cheating, we've seen Everton, Forest, and other clubs hit with points deductions with an absolute quickness. It's a fucking joke.

The race is over.

City and the 115 machine won't drop any points, because they've been allowed to fraudulently develop a squad with three starters at every position to the point where they can rest and rotate and not burn their team out. Meanwhile us and LFC have put together our teams honorably and within the laws of the game, and the pressure to be perfect at every interval leads to guys being overplayed and exhausted.

Manchester City as a football club isn't just the worst thing to happen to this sport, it's the worst thing to happen to ANY sport. And the powers that be will sit and do absolutely nothing as they cheat their way to yet another treble at the expense of the rest of us.

I bet if they knock out Real Madrid again, the Madrid fans will make enough noise about their cheating to maybe have something done about it, but we'll see.

I'm fucking finished with both him and Zinchenko. They were both absolutely awful today. If I have to see Jesus get up with his sad ginger bread man face after losing a duel one more time I may break my screen.

Zinchenko? What is the fucking point if he can't even make simple progressive passes? He's supposed to be ELITE at that, but more often than not he's plodding and slow with his decision making so it's essentially a zero gain for us. I'm so fucking angry about those two in specific.

But the biggest one I'm mad at is Arteta. You have a team with continuity who have been dominating the league through February and March, and with 7 games to go you change it up to accommodate the City rejects??? WHY?

I just don't know what to do. We built such an incredible platform and gave ourselves such a wonderful opportunity just to throw it all away again when it mattered.

Fucking bottlers.

hate you for fielding two total starters against City and then going absolutely all out against us. Actually despise.

You'd BETTER finish above Sp*rs now if you've cost us the title.

Okay phew.

From what I know though I'll be saying that again later.

Musashi nooooo :(

Unai Emery has ruined my life twice now. We should throw garlic at him the next time he comes to the Emirates.

I swear to GOD if he doesn't keep ahead of Tottenham now he'll be my least favorite manager ever.

WHY did he start Jesus?

He is the worst striker I've ever seen. That isn't his position. He's a decent winger but an absolute SHIT striker. We were banging them in for fun with Kai in that position, changing the formation to suit Gabi Jesus was a fucking disaster.
