Have to keep this topic alive!

I'm reading through the first book but only doing a chapter or two right before going to sleep, so I haven't finished it after several days

Great memories though

I'd consider the audiobook as well. The quality is really damn good considering

Doesn't help I fell off the current gaming wagon at 2002 or so. I was always on top of the curve between 1987-2002 but I wanted to play internet gaming, no matter now niche, to expand my prowess.

It never happened.

You probably applied that shit to real life instead

Internet gaming is lamer than melted butter, I don't think you missed out lol

I had no idea Breath of the Wild was a Wii U release also.

I just started Link's Awakening tonight on Switch, i've been playing those Steamworld games like Heist and Quest, they are both pretty great indies. Also been off and on some odd RPG called Ni No Kuni, definitely didn't look like something I would ever play but it's been suggested many times and it was on sale. The RPG mechanics of that game are actually very solid, i'm trying to get over the Disney animation looking graphics, but it's solid and fun enough that I might stick with it.

I got like 30 hours into BotW and own it but I never finished it, I got a little flustered with a motion controlled shrine puzzle and after like 40 tries and beating it, I put the game down for a bit lol.

If you put 30 hours in then you got the gist lol, luckily there are only like 5 motion controlled shrines of 140

Ni no kuni I've heard good things about, it's on my list. I'll check out the indies if they're similar to LoZ

Damnit. I need a second system.

I didnt even get an xbone till quarantine started but really I wanna play some vids right now. And I've always wanted to check out botw and ffvii remake.

I bought a wii u just for botw. It was 120 bucks total. Worth every penny to me. FFVII remake is the best RPG we've had in years, the gameplay is that good. The demo was a bit ehhhh but the combat system goes waaaaay deeper. The story changes aren't for everyone but hot damn is the gameplay good, really shames KH3

FINALLY I'm back from being warned lol.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Animorphs/comments/lqtmfs/a_poll_for_the_coming_animorphs_rpg/

We're creating a ruleset for a DnD type Animorphs tabletop game, but with a lot less numbers and such. It's not going to be linear mission to mission type stuff, but an open concept where the players debate, scout and pick their targets. Still working the big stuff out but that post above has a poll we're running to test the waters.

On topic basically 45 onward are where series picks up steam. Cassie's morality gets very in the way and her and Rachel butt heads a looooot. Cassie also does some of the most messed up stuff morally through the books which is weird, especially after 19 when she fully reinvests into the group. I'm on 52 right now. I skipped 4-5(second helmacrons book) and few of the ones where it doesn't matter what order you read them or they're just 'filler'.

Yeah, 21 days sober today, kind of boring but no withdrawals anymore, just cravings. Toughest part is later at night and just keep sitting here thinking fuck I wish I was drunk.

Nah it's that you wish you were drinking. The act of it and the party aspect. I keep going 4 days on 4 days off and just prolonging my withdrawal bullshit.

Nothing is lonelier than being done with the drunk and just sitting there, the house is drunk dry, wondering if you're drunk enough to go to sleep. You've made the right decision.

Moving on from that though me and Jim Beam are arm wrestling watching Arrested Development and wondering how I've managed to mismanage my life so poorly.

It melting reminds me I'm gonna melt in the summer >.<

Do they have any skiing near chatt? You've got the mountains near there right? Or am I thinking of somewhere else?

He's saying that the Controller is referring to the Yeerk controlling the human, not a human controlled by a Yeerk

Meaning the Yeerk is the controller and the human is the vessel

Yeah but the controller nom is really just to differentiate between the innocent non yeerked humans/aliens and the ones already in the thrall. Its mostly a moral reason, because they batter human controllers and even murder Hork Bajir and Taxxons left and right, but the innocent they only hurt if they absolutely must.

Something that is bugging me. The use of the word Controller.

Surely the Yeerk is the Controller. Not the host.

So you don't "become a Controller". You get a Controller in your head.

So a human-Controller would be a "Yeerk with a human host body." Not a "human with a Yeerk in his head", right?

Im not tracking, the last two are the same right? A human controller is someone with a yeerk in their head. A yeerk is a yeerk is a yeerk

I just finished the one where they discover an underwater species that collect sunken ships and drowned armies and put them in a museum.

I wonder if this is one of the books written by a ghost writer, as mentioned earlier in the topic, because this really came way out of left field.

Lol I just read this today. Books 26 onward with two exceptions are ghost written until 52, 53 and 54 along with chronicles/megamorphs. Grant and Applegate wrote an outline and then the ghostwriters fleshed it out. Some are better than others, and some of the ghostwritten ones are among the better books as well, like 41 even though its totally out of left field. They do continue to build the main storylines but Id argue aside from broad strokes only Marcos is plot relevant and the rest build on what is there.

Some of it is quite good, and everything 41 onward should be read for sure. There are some side quests in the middle where they hurt the yeerks by foiling a new plan, or help with the galactic war effort like 34, but until the 40s the hard blows arent hitting yet, and some like 31 are self contained episodes where neither party wins or loses anything aside from insight or experience.

I will say right now that at least a fifth of the books are centered or plot driven by the Chee. I got into a 4 block run where they all were the other day. Most of the time its the androids bringing info or its something going on with them. There are like 3 books about the pemalite ship. Easily the most important allies followed by the free Hork Bajir.

Yep! Though I can't recall if that's the one where Visser Three basically says "That's fine, I don't care if you murder thousands of my subordinates. I'm safe." or if that was another book. They did a good job making him completely irredeemable some times.

Part of that was a bluff, and they call him on it. They actually do dump some in the pool

Soecifically it alters the yeerk brainstem and removes part so theyre irreversibly insane. I like to think eventually the insanity would cause the yeerk to crawl out, or something is done post-war.

You only need to know how to have sex to become a parent, and with the instincts we have it means even the most stupid people know that much.

you'd be surprised. I had a friend who used to work for planned parenthood; the number of people showing up who didn't understand why or how they became pregnant, couples who didn't understand the process aka just putting it into thighs or whatever, there was no end to the stories and it's really sad how much sex education has failed even developed countries.

You don't play the cards, you play the other people holding them

I heard someone say "Sometimes in life you get dealt a hand with two 2's" but that could easily be a winning hand. What if another pair pops onto the table or another 2? Then you've got three of a kind and that can be an asskicking hand.

I've got a cousin who's a little special and he's one of the best poker players I know, because the cards he's holding often don't matter in the slightest. He's only watching the other people and their eyes and has no fear of betting huge sums. Dude fearless
