The thing that's weird about FE characters is the fact that there's essentially four versions of Marth, considering Roy started out as Fire Marth and both of them got echoes.

There's also the fact that that the most well-known aspect of FE is that there's a weapons triangle, and they chose to have seven characters that all use swords.

Is there an easy way to tell if you already have a spirit via enhancing? Like, I've been getting some spirits that enhance at 99, and I can't tell if they're new spirits or spirits I previously had but enhanced.

I have to say, I find it weird how much of a right wing talking point it is that California is some sort of shithole. The bizarre part is that people actually buy into it, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised by people buying into literally anything at this point.

it's not "weird," it's a ridiculous exaggeration, people do these all the time in order to advance their agenda

California sort of is buckling under its own weight a bit and also it's always on fire but yeah


It's weird mostly because how consistent the messaging is, and how it seems to be applied to all of California. Like, close to 1 in 8 Americans live in California, and yet right wing people treat it as this homogenous monolith where everything is San Francisco.

I mean there are very real stories from San Fran about human feces and drug needles on streets.

Yes, the irony that this liberal utopia has the highest income disparity in the US is evidence of the Left's continuous false piety.


Case in point.

Although it's also funny because even the shit (lol) about SF is wildly exaggerated. I live pretty close to SF, and I go there relatively frequently. Never saw needles or human poop.

I don't even like San Francisco much, but damn.

reposting question re differences for daisy and dark samus. someone mentioned daisy's side B being faster, I'll have to test that


I think people have tested and found no mechanical differences between Peach/Daisy

For Samus/Dark Samus, Dark Samus uses electricity instead of fire for some attacks which may have like 1 frame more hitstun? Also the charge shot position has a slight difference vertically in where it originates.

Some initial thoughts on characters

Roy seems really good. Fast, powerful, good edge guarding, decent range. I played against my friend while he used Roy almost exclusively and it was pretty damn obnoxious.

I really want to like Simon/Richter because they feel so good while you're on the stage. But then you get knocked off and your recovery is garbage so you die.

K Rool is pretty sweet. That super armor belly definitely makes a huge difference, and his recovery is great. Not sure how to handle things after losing the crown though.

Ridley seems pretty bad. His down B does 60% damage if it sweet spots but doesn't launch, and he just seems so slow and easy to punish.

Link's remote bombs make him so much more satisfying to play. They're great.

I feel like Isabelle has potential, but I wasn't able to do much with her.

The Jeff spirit is the biggest brick wall for me so wall in WoL. Three Inklings with bonus projectile damage on a shitty map with projectile weapons spawning non-stop while an assist trophy periodically shows up to shoot rockets at you? They don't have derp AI or die super easy like most multi-enemy fights either, and you eat huge damage for getting hit by anything because they combo off it so consistently. So much damn stuff being thrown around it's hard to see what's going on


Yeah this one sucks. I gave up on it for the time being because of how ridiculous it is.

I always get this one and Disco Elysium mixed up, because the devs behind Disco Elysium realized what a bad name No Truce With the Furries was so they rebranded. IIRC the devs behind Full Metal Furies mentioned negative association with its name for some of its poor sales in a post-mortem?

And yeah, I wasn't big on Rogue Legacy either. I hate how it controls.


I don't know if they mentioned that specifically.

But one of the things they've expressed regret about was the fact that they kept the puzzles in the game a secret, and apparently a lot of content is locked behind those puzzles.

Haven't had a chance to play too many indie games this year, but I've been playing Full Metal Furies (not furries, it's not an original joke either) with my wife and it's been a lot of fun.

It's a co-op brawler (with some heavy puzzle elements) by the same company that made Rogue Legacy. I thought Rogue Legacy was good but not great, especially given the reception it received. By contrast, this game is a lot more entertaining and has gotten basically no attention at all.

Some late thoughts on working the polls for this election:

-It was my first time doing this, but it really struck me how much of our system is dependent on random volunteers being competent. Like, it's crazy to me that something so important could end up being handled by people who are either apathetic or incompetent. It depends so much on people actually giving a shit.

-My polling station was on the UC Berkeley campus and we got a ton of people who had no idea what they were doing-- most people didn't realize that they had an assigned polling place and just came to ours because they happened to be passing by

-As a result we had a fuckton of provisional ballots-- like 90% or more were provisional

-People are really into the "I voted" sticker

-It's pretty exhausting given you're expected to be there from 6 AM to 9 PM (or later depending on how long it takes you to close)

-People can be assholes for no reason, but then again I knew that already
