Got the Platinum for the vanilla version of Liberation on vita. What a weird "multiplayer" mode it had. Simply consisted of pressing x for about 10 hours
I always wondered what that games MP was like. Ive only got a couple achievements left in the entire AC series on 360 and theyre all in Black Flag multiplayer.

So...is there some convenient guide like that for dragoon? <_< Not that I'm fully kitted-out yet, still a couple hundred thousand exp from 60 (and only in the 52-53 zone so it'll be awhile before I can start doing the 61+ quests), but it'd be nice to have on hand...assuming Endwalker doesn't change it all anyway.

Putting the focus on released games is interesting. Have they ever put something like that in their announcement before? Smash and probably Animal Crossing updates makes sense, but they're the only two games still expecting new content. I wonder if there's gonna be a surprise update for something older like Mario Kart. Oh, I could also easily see a Ring Fit expansion.
The wording is available games like Smash AND games coming to Switch in the first half of 2021 with no indication of what the split there is going to be. So I wouldnt worry too much about that.

UltimaterializerX posted...
Is this a totally new game?
Nope.

In Japan, there were two versions of the original Nier released, Replicant and Gestalt. They were mostly the same game, but the main character was different - Replicant starred a pretty boy who was brother to one of the other main characters, while Gestalt featured an older guy who was her father instead. They released Replicant on PS3 and Gestalt on 360 over there.

Then when they brought the game Stateside, it was Gestalt on both platforms. So this new rerelease is the first time Replicant is being localized.

Also to the new guys - it's possible to add people to your friends group outside of your server, so if you ever want to queue up with a B8er feel free to post in the topic and one of us might be around

I wouldn't mind running a Tank or Healer to help out with those pesky DPS queue times
On that note, didn't we have a google doc with everyone's name/server/main at one point? Anyone have the link to that?

Congested worlds never accept new characters. Standard and preferred worlds sometimes don't accept new characters - it depends on how many people are currently connected. For future reference, if you want to make a character on a popular (but not congested) server, try doing it either early in the day or late at night. Attempting to make a character anywhere between after school hours to whenever most people go to bed it going to be a crapshoot, but if you can stay up (or wake up) at like, 2 in the morning you should encounter no issues.
Interesting. Well, he didnt seem to stick with it for long, but Ill keep it in mind for when my daughter gets old enough to join us.

Jenova. When I was creating my character it's the only one I could pick! There were 3 other that were highlighted including one with a signup bonus, but they all spat me out saying "naw dog, full".

Minecraft is okay I guess. What really annoyed me was they initially sold a five-episode season, then the main story wrapped in four and the fifth opened a new storyline, with another three-episode pass continuing things from there. (And then Season Two came out after that.)

i didn't even know a three-chambered heart existed in humans. the fuck.
good luck man. to both you and the wife.

Birth defect. Essentially the wall between my ventricles didnt form. You can imagine how much fun that can be. Had a couple surgeries when very young (one at two weeks, one at 2.5 years) to ensure my survival, which seem to have worked out pretty well so far.

W and I went to get retested yesterday, thanks to the exposure we had to X between when we got Stephs result and when we got his. Hopefully we stayed negative since then.

I'm pulling for you and your family.

Are you eligible for the vaccine at this stage?
Ohio guidelines put me eligible on the 25th, assuming they count a single-ventricle heart as severe congenital or developmental disorders. Which I assume they do; its certainly governed enough of the rest of my life.

Really weird being in the same house as your spouse but communicating almost exclusively over phone. Weve set her up in our daughters room since W (our daughter) and I both tested negative. Its been...well Im mostly just glad shes still alive; she got rushed to the ER from her job on Monday and was there until last night thanks to a pulmonary embolism.

X on the other hand is having the time of his life; we normally control his computer time but since hes almost completely confined to his room weve just been leaving it unlocked for him. His positive test came in yesterday morning. Hes been completely asymptomatic, thank goodness.

So now were just doing everything we can to keep the two positive of us away from me and W. Especially me; I have a three-chambered heart so were pretty sure COVID would be something close to a death sentence. Joy.

I'm sure that's the actual character's age for Buffy relative to the show only.

I'm sure the comics have not been keeping up with real time.
There was an indeterminate amount of time between seasons 7 and 8, long enough for Dawn to be in college. Not sure exactly how long passed up to the season 12 finale, but thats all moot anyway because the license went to a new publisher after that and theyve been doing a complete reboot set in the high school years.
