5 felt more dynamic in that sense! I do appreciate the missions and stuff in 6, but you have to be an Officer and that really slows the game down, so that's kinda a wash and I think I ultimately prefer 5.

8 is similar to 6 in that sense.

Big difference is switching the pre battle cards for individual abilities that officers and rulers can activate throughout the battle.

Dune: The Gurney/Jessica reconciliation was adquately cool.

MLP 8-22- What Lies Beneath: well dang this escalated quickly. The tsundere tea party is pretty great, but not as great as NEW SPIDER FRIENDS. "We're all gonna fail! *sleeps*" man it takes me right dang back to college. Not sure how I'm supposed to feel about Cozy Castles or whoever that is.

8.25 & 26 - School Raze
1 Day.

When the Tree of Harmony takes the form of "Twilight" and starts talking to you, things will feel a bit weird for sure. Being tested on Friendship in such a way, right. Gallus had the most dangerous test though, as he could of been trapped in the shrinking enclosure permanently. Painful way to go.

I'm curious what the deal is with Cozy Glow too. Well, the season finale is tomorrow, so I'm guessing that will provide some answers?

Dune: And lo, Paul of Many Titles brought ruin and devastation upon his enemies through the power of Timehax. None could stand against him or offer him difficulty save for the death of some kid nobody cared about enough to name.

And Then There Were None: Well dang, two down already! I'm guessing the glass itself was poisoned for the first death.

Lucha 1-24b: TRIOS FINALS....really good match! Kinda chaotic but I don't mind that. That Man randomly gets involved, too. (****) Oh hey the Crew come out for the screwjob. I thought they already lost? I wasn't super into this until Angelico did a crazy dive from on top of the office into the ring! (***1/2)

Pokemon: We successfully delivered Kenya's message! I think we still need some more grinding, though, so we're headed to the park, with Nidoran F in the open slot.

Persona: We're grinded up real good :D Hanged Man 3: he's got a kid whoa! Took Futaba to Akihabara :D Also took Chihaya book shopping, which was cute. Tower 6. Devil 8 is picking up! Fortune 5. Hermit 6 is good setup AND a nice skill. Moon 4. Devil 9- still don't know how to use Ohya but at least she's got interesting plot....and another one goes to the friendzone. Empress 1....wait I didn't have that already? Geeze.

That sounds right. Wasn't sure if it was Nov or Oct, but it's the middle of one-a-dems.

Dune: Onto the appindeces, where we follow an ecology lecture with hot ecumenicalism takez. This is A way to end a book, I suppose. I skipped the glossary, which would have been really helpful in the intended format....and I'm free! Woo. I didn't hate it, but I'm not quite getting why it's so hyped, either. Lot of interesting concepts, but once Paul awakened or whatever, it kinda felt Fountainhead-like in how the whole book was just about how awesome the main character was at everything wowee.

Nadesico 25- Being Myself, Being Yourself: Well geeze, time for Mars. Looks like Akito and Yurika is gonna be the ship, which isn't my first choice but was my expectation. Looks like the final battle is gonna be a three-way or even a 4-way, which should be interesting. ...Whoa, they brought the kid back!

8-bit: I almost feel bad for Black Mage going back to mortality!

The Way of Kings: That Zeth guy was cool but I was kinda glad when it switched PoV. I've kinda pre-maxxed out on my tolerance for new lingo, but it isn't this book's fault!

LP DDLC 6: Monika's pushing everybody awful hard on the poetry reading :\ I don't know Yuri's entire deal but I imagine that is quite rough for Natsuki at least. Random observation: they were all four on screen at once and I am pretty sure they were lined up in order of boobiness. EveTarvette would walk home with....Yuri! "Sayori would probably be better off without us," they say. You'd think! I will have to wait until later to see if Sayori route is a thing, I guess.

Persona: Moon 5 has me worried about Mishima, and Emperor 3 about Yusuke. Haru likes horror movies, which sets her back a bit in the waifu race. I wanna go settle whoever's abusing cats, but I don't really wanna blow multiple nights on it. :\ I couldn't resist the chance to call Lala-chan a Phantom Thief in Devil 10. ...I'd play that version of P5. I finally gave in and looked up wtf Ohya does and I guess her thingy is just a passive to security levels? Man this whole time I thought she was gonna boost my approval and get me on the good route or something. Lovers 10: they aren't firing Mika for that? Geeze. ....Carmen evolved, I guess! Moon 6...this link is all over the dang place. Fortune 6. 11/19 is here!

Sanctuary: Managed to snag a new weapon, charm, and mercenary, although only the merc is necessarily superior to what I had. We've hit the point I remember from last file, where the crafting system suddenly flips from being fun and satisfying to being a chore. You just get so much material and your skills are so good that it takes longer and longer and is more and more of a waste to ignore and yet doesn't give you super great stuff very often.

Cruising to 4/4 today, looks like! That won't last long, I'm sure.

I talked to my literature buff friend and he said that Dune is a good bit better in context of the series. Will throw the sequels on the "eh maybe" pile with Dance of Dragons.

Stardom 16.2.28
Gauntlet- Viper v. Mimura: **1/2
Gauntlet Final- Viper v. Kyona: ***
whoa cool an interview, and it's in English!

Way of Kings: I'm grooving on this so far! Interesting characters and interesting setting. I particularly like the Sprin (especially the weird one) and the magic/stormlight/powerz/whatever and the incredibly impractical but cool currency system.

Trails: Found the four other bracers (I wanna use 'em!) but no real leads on Julia, and I was unable to get into the Villa to see if Nial was there. I'm guessing I'm just supposed to go ahead without 'em?

Way of Kings: BOLD predix: Syl is, to some extent, only in Calladin's head. Also I'm a big fan of Shalonne now that she has something going beyond "generic female lead!" I am driving a LOT today so I'm gonna knock out like a third of the book between now and my next update >_>

MLP 8-24- Father Knows Beast: I feel like I woulda rather seen Spike meet his legit dad, but we did get a decent song outta it. Ep didn't really move me much one way or another, but to be fair it cut off the last line or so. .....well heck I slightly spoiled myself while researching for the TEW mod, lol. I have been good about avoiding spoilers on other stuff but it didn't even occur to me for pones!

Way of Kings: Much Dalimar, very slow burn. Also we are reaching Ender Wiggin levels of leadership over on Bridge 4!

Lucha 1-25a: Oh hey maybe that's that Matanza guy or whatever! Goooood Fenix/Killshot opener. (***1/2) Cueto gets ignored by Puma and Drago in turn, then makes a deal with Hernandez and sows dissent. Fourway jobber fight! Texano kills them all after like ten seconds. (N/A) Spanish promo follows. The moth guy shows up! I've heard of him. Cuerno/Hernandez/The Man Called The Machine Called They Call Him Cage for #1 Contendership. Hernandez looks pretty okay- my first time really seeing him. He gets the win after Moth Man runs in and no-sells everybody's offense. (**1/2)
