Board 8 > SaveEstelle/LeonhartFour in Different Houses: Solo Edition [SELF]

(+) Yeah! (+)

I wouldn't be shocked if the Cavs just give up.

LeBron goes 51-8-8 on 60% from the field and that happens. (And it wasn't just that, there were some atrocious calls made late.)

lebron gonna find a way to trade himself out of cleveland before game 2
---

well if nothing else LeBron can shoot for the rare "win Finals MVP despite being on the losing team"
---

Finally leaving Florida and this disgusting humidity
---

Where were you in Florida?
---

Fort Lauderdale (for a physics conference)
---

That's a part of Florida I have not been to before, so I can't comment on that.
---

so I've gotten as far into the original Dragon Ball as user SaveEstelle did

maybe I should await his return before progressing further
---

nah

In Nier Automata news, I finished my first two sidequests from the Resistance Camp. The game still feels a bit aimless to me since they dropped me into this big abandoned city without much of anything in it, and now they're sending me off to the desert to help out a group there since I've finished my fetch quests here. Anemone did have an interesting reaction to meeting 2B that neither I nor 9S seem to understand the full implications of at this moment.

also I'm guessing 2B's android is a replica of Lightning because she acts just like her so far

It sounds like I should finally get around to playing Nier Automata
---

Square had to find a way to squeeze Lightning into more games somehow
---

It took me a while to really get into the game.
---

I liked the game quite a bit

It does take a while for the story to start coming together, though
---

I've been finding dead people all over the place and so I pray over them and then pilfer their corpses

also I turned my little droid helper thing into Grimoire Weiss

It wasn't just the story. It took a while for me to really get how to play for some reason.

Persona 5 anime episode 9 complete

Kawakami the best

I think they've made Ryuji cooler in the adaptation, too, which is nice.

In Nier Automata, the desert proves quite perilous indeed with talking machines that are clearly afraid of us. 9S repeatedly insists they're just saying words that they've picked up that they don't actually mean, but that's pretty clearly not the case. All the machines gather in an area where they're rocking baby carriages and talking about loving forever, which is weird. Then we fight a naked Sephiroth after all the machines combined to form Jenova and gave birth to him. Then even after we kill naked Sephiroth, another naked Sephiroth emerges from his corpse, so we just decide to run away.

I'm trying to figure out what's going on here based on what I remember from Nier. I know something crazy is going to happen because come on, it's expected. We haven't actually seen any of our "human" commanders, so maybe it's possible we're not actually fighting for mankind. We're fighting for impostors of mankind trying to kill the real thing. Plus, didn't the first Nier essentially end with mankind doomed to extinction after the death of the Shadowlord? Shouldn't whatever is left of mankind be Replicants? Beats me. Apparently, this war against alien invaders who use machines that seem like something mankind would build has been going on for thousands of years now. Maybe this is a 1984 situation where we're just continually at war with ourselves. It's still pretty early, so who knows!
---

This week's episode of FMP IV was just a recap episode. Pretty lame, but oh well.
---

I'm going to be out of town for the next week or so, so that means no Automata until I get back.
---

---

but that possibly means more time for Dragon Ball

I'm staying in a hotel room by myself for the first time ever

this shouldn't be an accomplishment but it makes me feel more like an adult
---

It's kind of relaxing, isn't it? I like being alone in a hotel, even though I don't like being alone at home.
---

It's certainly a different kind of feeling. I don't mind being alone though because I'm alone most of the time anyway.
---

it's been a long time since we've had an ertyu impostor
---

yeah, this one got real old real quick

I've been thinking some more about this, trying to come up wild theories to explain what's going on here. Maybe the machines are the new vessels for the Gestalts, so maybe they're at war with the Replicants, and we're fighting for the Replicants.

I've got plenty of time to think about it since I can't play for a week, but I'm sure anything I come up with will be completely wrong. Like the Judge in Ace Attorney, my theories are almost certainly never correct.
---

I can't imagine coming up with a correct theory just based off what little you played.

I mean I even beat the game and I still don't think I could even spoil you what the connection is, but I wasn't very invested in piecing it together. Maybe you'll figure it out.
---

well even with the original Nier they needed to come out with a separate document to explain most of the finer details of the plot
---

Steins;Gate 0 episode 6 complete. I hope they go into the song with Kagari's arc so they can play the best track from the game's OST.

Also the next issue of the Tsuredure Children manga finally came out, so I'll probably read that tomorrow.
---

Anyone here picking up/interested in Vampyr? I've been keeping an eye on it here and there during the development as a game that looked like it could be quite interesting.
---

I'll buy anything the Life is Strange devs put out! I haven't really looked into Vampyr much though, I might wait for a Steam sale.
---

Yeah, having played LiS semi-recently made me more excited for Vampyr because it gave me a lot more confidence in the writing side of things which is kinda a ~big deal~ to me.
---

sounds like a hard pass for me unless you're telling me they're going to have likable characters this time
---

My understanding is that it's about a murderous vampire so you'll at least like them more than Chloe
---

well that's not exactly a high bar
---

Finished up volume 9 of Tsuredure Children. I think there's only one more volume left that hasn't been localized now, so that's exciting. They had a good variety in the character stories this time around, and the characters interact more and the various stories intersect more at this point than they did early on in the series.

i thought it was about a doctor in 1800s london who gets turned to a vampire and then you just play him however you want
---

that sounds like a more promising premise since it seems less likely to be littered with stuck up high school girls and creeper high school guys

anything's possible though

The theatrical showings for the Heaven's Feel English dub are this week, and it makes me sad that I won't be able to go to any of them because I'm busy every night. Hopefully, the English dub will be made available somewhere shortly thereafter because I'm still waiting for the official release of the dub of A Silent Voice.

https://blog.us.playstation.com/2018/06/07/persona-3-dancing-in-moonlight-and-persona-5-dancing-in-starlight-hit-ps4-ps-vita-early-2019/

P3D and P5D English releases confirmed for early 2019!

unfortunately they changed the names to Dancing in Moonlight and Dancing in Starlight
---

still mad that this is the p3 game we are getting
---

I mean you also got Persona Q so you should be happy you'll actually get a good game focused on P3 characters this time

and they had a big role in the P4A games too
---

persona 3 platinum or bust

might settle for a kart racer simply for the absurdity of it all but koromaru must be playable
---

you already have a P3P that serves the same purpose and has the same abbreviation
---

it's close

but revamp MC s-links to match FeMC's (Hermit can stay), give FeMC The Answer (Before you say anything this could have potential, just work with me here), cutscenes and gameplay restored
---

just include cutscenes for The Answer and be done with it
