7.12 - Discordant Harmony & 7.13 - The Perfect Pear
August 5, 2017
Mid Season Hiatus Day 48 of 49

Hey, look at that, back to pony tomorrow!

The My Little Pony: The Movie website gets a major revision to it's design and content.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2017/08/official-my-little-pony-receives.html

Because of that movie website update, a image file buried inside the website was found showing an updated version of the world map of Equestria.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2017/08/map-of-equestria-updated-for-movie.html

It looks like there will be another set of those Equestria Girls animated Shorts later today and tomorrow, and then they are supposed to run through the rest of August too.

Cucumber Quest: I am glad that the entire cast is on the same page of "protect Peridot." ...And we're caught up! Excellent stuff. Now it's time to catch up on....

Girl Genius: woo we saved paris! And now it's time for a new webcomic...by which I think I actually mean an old fave!

Paranatural: There was a time I was caught up on this one. That was a while back. I remember very little except that I liked it and there was a cute origami spider or something. Artstyle took a couple pages to get used to but I already love all these characters.

LP MGS3 1-3: in which we hear about all the foods
---

Pokemon: Got on a roll and blazed through the whole Aether Paradise. I like Nanu I think. I got spoiled on the Lusamine thing but I'd like to think I would've seen it coming. I must be closer to the end than I thought, if stuff like this is happening!

Mid Season Hiatus Day 49 of 49

Also, the Equestria Girls Animation Short from yesterday night too:

Speaker for the Dead: Almost done with the Speaking, which is about what I expected! This is definitely very different from the Bean books- I'm quite enjoying it, but probably not quite as much and definitely not in the same way.
---

7.14 - Fame and Misfortune
6 Days
---

Speaker for the Dead: Well dang, things are escalating quickly.

Tiger Mask 5- I don't really know what the deal is with Fukuwara Mask (haruka's dad maybe?) but battle royals are a good time!
---

7.14 - Fame and Misfortune
5 Days
---

WoT TGS: well dang bye masema. Wild guess based on virtually nothing: Bashere is Demandred, somehow.

G-Senjou: It's been a while since I rambled about really liking the music, but I still really like the music, especially since I am a fellow classical music geek. I think Gonzou's theme is probably my favorite. Anyway, wild guess: the Tobita Gonzou is worried about is actually Tobita Yuki. Jury's out on trans or just crossdresser. Meanwhile, Shiratori is making a late bid for best girl....but I assume she has a limited amount of time to unseat Haru before I have to pick <_> ...Actually this might be the decision point here, but I can't let the girl walk home by herself! And now it's a hostage situation, geeze.

MLP 7-12- Discordant Harmony: I still really love Discord and Fluttershy's friendship. I feel like he's learned some stuff about sensitivity! I feel bad for the dude with how hard he worked just to overshoot it, not to mention the whole fading out of existence thing! This is one of my favorite eps in recent memory I think!

Pokemon: The Seafolk are not sufficiently interested in the arrival of the Coramoor, but I did get a free Aerodactyl for no reason! Considering swapping him in for Dugtrio, but I don't think I will. I SHOULD do another lap around the third island, but I wanna try to finish this up soon.

#FE: Pushing farther into Daitou now! I assume we'll hit a wall before too long and need to clear stuff from the other dungeons to proceed, but for now there are new enemies, which thankfully means new weapons soon.

Trails: Onward to Ruan! Seems like we might be getting involved with Agate now. Personally, I'd rather still have Schera and Olivier, but I warmed up to both of them over time so I'll give Agate a shot as well.

Wildly guessing who Demandred is is a cherished Wheel of Time tradition. Same with who killed Asmodeon, though that one was answered and could be answered with logic at his death.
---

Discordant Harmony was a really good episode, but wait until you watch The Perfect Pear Tom.

I also want to mention that the episode The Perfect Pear guest stars William Shatner as well.

LP MGS3 2-1: more like oceLOL! I am entertained that killing him is a game over. Also geeze, we sure escalated that quickly with the nuke o_O

LoliRock 2-13- I Want My LTV: I was really entertained by Mephisto as the video director!

Let's Play Stardew Valley 9

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oViS4_krl8

Paranatural: I'm interested in where they're going with Isaac. Seems ripe for future importance.

Tiger Mask W 6- Idol vs. Heel: https://www.phoenixhealthfund.com.au//app/uploads/2016/08/confused-surcharges-levy.jpg

WoT TGS: NOTHING IS HAPPENING but that is probably fine given that it's still early on and we gotta re-introduce everything.

Pokemon: Preliminary Poni Wilds investigation yielded a Granbull and a bunch of niche berries. Yay?

#FE: A Sniper and Swordmaster are born, and that's everybody for class ups! I have leftover Master Seals so maybe I'll cross class somebody later, I dunno.

MLP 7-13- The Perfect Pear: "Grandpear" is a pun, I think? "pere" is a thing in a language? I feel like we've had several "I forgot what we're feuding over" episodes by now but I'll allow it for Flashback!Granny Smith, and Apple backstory! I'd kinda forgotten that we were missing a generation. This is pretty dang cute!

1 Cor 9-14: Hey we've been having sermons on this chunk for a while!

Trails: Not a whole ton of heavy plot or noteworthy gameplay, but this is a nice little seaside area~ Guess we gotta hunt down an orphan pickpocket though.

G-Senjou: Hostage negotiations and Lupin jokes!

Tiger Mask W 7- Naoto and Naoto: Dark wins a belt woo! And plenty of Haruna, which is a plus.

WoT TGS: I wonder how people would react to Elaida if this book came out today. Meanwhile Rand is trying to set a world record for edge.

Paranatural: we've got some Isaac info! And a bit on the mechanics of the world.

1 Day

Speaker for the Dead: It's really cool how they're coming together! And I'm glad we didn't get too much detail on the ceremony.

LoliRock 2-14- Desert Heat: Fairly intense ep! .....but there wasn't a better minion we could've used for that plan? >_>

Pokemon: Nothing quite as emasculating as riding around in a Machamp's arms. Anyway, caught a Gastrodon and saw Hapu.

#FE: Nothing of particular interest today, just continuing to explore the area.

G-Senjou: ...Can't say I saw the Yuki thing coming! The plot continues to thicken.

LP MGS 2-2+3-1: Suddenly, Ape Escape! The marketing has worked because now I'm curious about those games.

7.14 - Fame and Misfortune
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2017/08/mlp-season-7-episode-14-fame-and.html

Today is that time again for another episode!
---

Trails: Good thing Kloe is here because these enemies are kinda tough! My favorite kid is the one who's obsessed with the apple pie.

WoT TGS: Is it bad that I basically imagine Cadsuane as Grandma Toph?
---

we have almost survived downton abbey
---

MLP 7-14- Fame and Misfortune: I feel like this is a response to some sorta incident or fan drama that I missed.
---

7.15 - Triple Threat
5 Days

There was a lot of drama surrounding certain aspects of the show back in the day.

I did enjoy the episode and song myself though.
---

Rand is 500% edge at this point.
---

G-Sen: So Yuki and her mother were among the few people supporting a dam in a small village, and the village turned on them? And the mom is likely dead and Yuki obviously skipped town? Hau~

WoT TGS: NOTHING IS HAPPENING. Better Demandred theory: Taim.

Tiger Mask W 8- Tiger Den Bares Fangs: but my ship :( Anyway hey it's Tanahashi and Bullet Club! I hope we find out what Hell in the Hole is >_> I also feel bad for Tanahashi :\

Paranatural: EIGHTFOLD APPEARS :D And a tantalizingly tiny glimpse of Boss Leader and stuff.

WoT TGS: Tsundere Siuan best Siuan
---

7.15 - Triple Threat
3 Days

I have been watching Rick and Morty over the couple of weeks, it's a pretty entertaining show, and while it does get rather weird at times, there can be some really crazy moments too.
---

People seem to like that show a bunch. I've only seen like thirty seconds of it and haven't really formed an opinion.

1 Cor 15-2 Cor 6: I am going to start quoting 2 Corinthians 1:17 to people who flake out on me!!

WoT TGS: Perrin calming back down sorta!

#FE: Got an 18 combo off by triggering two duo skills. Didn't even know that was a possibility!

LoliRock 2-15- The Ruby of the Orient: he's the jack of HEARTS, not the jacker of rubies, c'mon. Also I love that this poor security guard is a recurring character.

G-Senjou: WOWOW backstory dump, and we're on to chapter 5 I guess! Gonzou is still pretty great. BOLD PREDIX: Maou is actually this Kyohei. I don't remember what specific terminology was used to establish Maou as Kyousuke, but there's no way the extra brother isn't gonna be important, whether in that fashion or another. ...And then the most uncomfortable confession scene ever. o_O Dun like it.

Speaker for the Dead: BEATED. I feel like there's a common theme of loving and understanding your enemy, between this, Higurashi, and G-Senjou. Not a bad lesson to learn. And hey, the library has....

Shadows in Flight: Back to the Shadowverse I guess! I assume it's intentional that we once again have the pacifist brother, the abusive brother, and the sister stuck in the middle?
---

Pokemon: I guess they don't call it the VAST Poni Canyon for nothin'. Snagged a Lycanroc, and evolved my Exeggutor. My team has now reached its final form! (unless I change my mind on Dugtrio) We've got Kong the Incineroar, Primarina, Oyashiro the Mimikyu, Supersonic the Exeggutor, Azalea the Wigglytuff, and Yoko the Dugtrio. At any rate, I'm kinda bummed that we didn't have a Fairy trial or battle, since Fairy is probably my favorite type. (even though I still have only a vague awareness of its matchups)

Trails: Took a detour to Jenis Royal Academy for fun, but there was nothing there yet except more wildlife to slaughter. I particularly like the boars, except when they hit and run on me. Escort-chan keeps messing up the critical wheel for me, but at least she's a good healer when she feels like it.

#FE: Beat Shadow Yashiro but BOY was it tedious. Would've lost too had I not figured the strat of 1. Be Touma 2. Javelin Rain. I would like to finish this game soon. I'm still enjoying it (...not so much today, admittedly) but I am pretty ready to be done.

LP MGS 3-2: It's Eva('s boobs, I guess)! Also really, Adam and Eva? Also Ocelot continues to be useless.

7.15 - Triple Threat

While Rick and Morty may not be for everyone, but I'd say at least give it a try if you ever get the chance too.

Tiger Mask 9- Stormy Opening Match: I am pretty hyped for these first round matches! I assume we're gonna get Devil > Dark > Tiger, but maybe they'll surprise me. ....And they have to an extent with the terribly named Mister Question!

Paranatural: Hey, I vaguely remember how to read this text! And now I can do so in the part of the comic where it's relevant! Certainly slows me down, though.

Pokemon: All this AND a trial AND what I assume will be a legendary? Geeeeeze. Exeggutor wrecked face all the way up to getting one-shot by the totem, but Mimikyu was able to one-shot that in turn.

#FE: Man, I wanted to be a good chunk into Persona 5 by now, but it's the end of summer and I still haven't finished this thing! he said, and then did as many sidequests as possible After a marathon session (by my standards) we're onto the chapter 5 intermission. Barry has crossed to the point where his Mamori thing isn't really funny anymore, but I did have a fun fight on Yashiro's side mission. Snagged a few more recruits for the arena, too, but it looks like they're just more traders. As for the main storyline....predictable twist was predictable. Heck, they even guessed it beforehand!

Pokemon: Lusamine was kinda tough! dat bewear

WoT TGS: evilllll bubblllllllleeeee

MLP 7-15- Triple Threat: All this talk about diplomacy makes me want a pony Civ mod. Or Endless Legends or somesuch. That's gotta be a thing that exists somewhere, right? Also, Ember is back! Good! The talk of dragon lords makes me wanna play dragon warrior >_> Ember constantly confusing Twilight and Starlight was pretty great. I...am not sure what the big deal would have been about letting those two meet in the first place?
---

7.16 - Campfire Tales
6 Days.

I can't see why Spike was worried about them meeting each other in the first place either. Twilight better be careful to not let too many dragons visit Ponyville, otherwise, Twilight's home may not exist anymore, Ember went on quite the "eating spree" with her castle.
---

Pokemon: Whoa, did Type-Null evolve? Also Lunala GET. I don't think I wanna stick him on my team, so I feel bad about that whole spiel about taking Nebby around to see new places.

....And then I pressed on and beat it! A few rough spots in endgame, but my team handled it pretty well and luck was on my side. The affection mechanic really helps out- possibly a bit too much, honestly. Dugtrio was the MVP- Rock Throw made relatively easy work of the golf lady, and he helped out some other times as well.

I enjoyed Meowth the most out of the credits and stuff, although it was good to see everybody again. I was worried because I "expressed my gratitude" or whatever to Tapu Koko by killing it in one shot with Earthquake...looks like I can rematch it though, and I already have a shiny one for some reason anyway. This was good stuff! I don't know why I got hooked on it right at the end, but that's okay. I'm gonna keep rolling on this until Culdcept drops in October- there's post-game stuff I'm sure, and a pokedex to work on filling!
---

Tombolo play Transistor now so you can get Pyre afterward

It is quite likely that will be my next game after G-Senjou!

WoT TGS: ....Egwene meeting the anti-Black force is gonna be interesting I bet!

G-Sen: This backstory is kinda killing me :\ Kyouhei being dead without a trace of his body is not dissuading me from thinking he's Maou and/or important. ...AND THERE IT IS augh I'm out of time

Shadows in Flight: Oh cool, Cincinnatus PoV! Good stuff. Time for more formics?

7.16 - Campfire Tales
4 Days.

#FE: Found a gem for Maiko I guess.

LP MGS 3-3+4-1: CROCODILE HAT

WoT TGS: Man, go Egwene!

Trails: We have now made it to Ruan, and quickly spent most of our money and sepith. I'm excited.

LoliRock 2-16- LoliLime Sublime: It's an ECLIPSE :O Fairly fun episode. According to the closing concert, friendship is magic. I don't know, that seems kinda weird man.

#FE: Not much sidequesting to do this intermission, I feel like! So now we've gotta do trials to become fire emblem or something. ....there's gonna be a seventh chapter isn't there :\
---

Pokemon: I thought Kalu'e Bay was gonna be some sorta super secret post-game area so that was...a bit of a disappointment. Still can't get to the golf course, either. Guess today's just gonna be a bu- I forgot about Dexio! He gave me far more challenge than I expected from a mono-Psychic team, and now I can mega evolve I guess.

WoT TGS: Gawyn might actually manage to be useful! I used to like him but I can see the complaints now.

2 Corinthians 7-13: I have never quite gotten this chunk.

Tiger Mask W 10- The Mysterious Mister Question: I'd be okay with Question's stretching if it wasn't accompanied by those sound effects. Anyway, I'm glad to have a good match, and I'm enjoying Fu*uwara on color. These poor fans, though, who came to see a main event squash.

Paranatural: I'm enjoying Spender and Forge's fight and dialogue. One of the only things I remember from my original read of this comic is where this Isabel/Eightfold convo is going.....
---

WoT TGS: I am still curious about Moridin, even after further confirmation of his identity. I'm also pleased at Min PoV, especially with Rand opening up to her! Larys is awesome and I kinda feel like Egwene should be taking her up on the offer of escape.

G-Senjou: I'm not a big fan of H-scenes, but I'm always curious about cut or censored content, and I assume there's some here. Ah well! I'm a fan of this ship now that it is happening. Was really expecting to wind up with Mizuha though, based on my choices! Also, that poshumous face turn. Also, really rough Haru backstory :\ And now we're gonna learn about Kyouhei!

Pokemon: Found a Riolu but I killed it :\

Shadows in Flight: I am excited for colonisation.

Trails: Ruan has been explored! Time to do stuff now, probably. The Ravens amuse me.

Because you can get a playable version of Skyrim on the computer for cheaper.

And because FF13 will make your IQ drop 3 points or more

well how do you really feel about it

Paranatural: I will like Agent Day perhaps.

Pokemon: Forgot which way I was supposed to be going, and then couldn't find the path forward for a bit <_>

G-Senjou: This somehow managed to escalate quickly!

WoT TGS: Today I got Cadsuane PoV (wherein she broke Semirhage) AND Siuan PoV! It's a good day.

LoliRock 2-17- Heck yes Aunt Ellen! ....why didn't any of this happen like two eps into the show? I feel like she could've saved the day before now. Also question: what happened to the other two?

So, the PC version of Skyrim is less than 2.99 + tax, and I'll lose a chunk of my IQ by playing FFXIII? Sounds like an "interesting" development!

I actually haven't gotten around to playing either game yet, so, it's wait and see right now.

played some trails but then it crashed I guess

7.17 - To Change a Changeling
6 Days.

Starlight & Trixie episode incoming this Saturday!

I don't like when games crash, especially when it's one of those moments where you are just right before a save point, and then the game says "nope", and all progress is lost.
---

the good news is most of it was just talkin' to folks so it just means it'll go faster next time!

Pokemon: I was expecting more from the cave of resolution. I looked up Battle Tree and I was expecting more of a Battle Frontier. I dunno, I'm hitting a burnout point again :\
