Wouldn't it be great if private fireworks were banned?

as someone who owned a dog who was outright terrified by them (and thunder) to the point of requiring medication to calm her down

absolutely

Thankfully my current dog isn't too bothered by them. She doesn't like them and will look around and get a bit upset but it's not that bad.

---

If we feed Maya treats whenever she starts barking, that tends to calm her down.

Just finished watching Hamilton. Really fun, especially as someone who enjoys history in general.

Best performances were Lafayette, Jefferson, and King George III, who absolutely killed it despite having maybe ten minutes of screentime max.

---

King George is definitely a lot of fun

IMO the most interesting character is Burr

---

Also I feel obligated to post this BONUS SONG from an episode of Colbert:

I dunno. I kinda agree with Hamilton that he's just a big nothing. I think he's the guy you can learn the most from, at least.

Cold Steel 2. Bareahard stopover. Just two thoughts.

First Rean x Alisa gets pushed even harder now. Even if other girls are better by themselves, I do like these two together.

Second is that if Class VII is supposed to be a third faction, so much being handed over to the Imperial Army seems fishy to me. I dunno, three towns in a row it feels like they're getting comfy in places they didn't use to be in as much. Hmm

---

Kaguya-sama S2E12 (and thus Season 2) watched.

Cute episode though Episode 11 was definitely the peak. season 3 when.

---

I need to find some anime time to finish off season 2 sometime soon.

And then try to get back to Dragon Ball, too.

---

Beryl just became a top tier NPC by allowing me to see which bonding scenes I've unlocked. Right now I have Alisa, Emma, Alfin, Sara and Towa. While Fie is just missing link points.

---

And Act 2 beated. Was there bonus AP for not oblitaring Class I with S-Breaks? Lol

---

That part of the game is so good.

---

Except for that one character not having a voice. That was weird. Haha

Yeah, CS2 has a bunch of weird moments like that, way more than 1 or 3, it seemed.

Utawarerumono: well that escalated quickly. Kuuya managing to hide she's a Divine Knight Awakener and has an army of Panzer Soldats is quite impressive. Unfortunately, she made some questionable hiring decisions in making a total psychopath one of her generals. But then that general made the even more questionable decision of trying to start shit with Tuskur. What's this? Hakuowlo is evolving! Hakuowlo is now OFFICIALLY DONE WITH THIS SHIT. Lot of questions though surrounding all this because he wakes up later and no one seems to remember any of this. At first I thought Eruruu was just lying to avoid the subject but Aruruu coming back from apparent death with no injuries (and probably Mukurru? I mean tbqh he bore the brunt of that attack.) But no I think her memory was either altered or history altered or something. Also during all that Hakuowlo flashed back and made the isekai theory a lot more real given that was clearly meant to be modern Earth or something what with archaeology and guns. "Let me sleep" kinda a waste of a wish tbqhhhhhhhhhh

Think I'm getting close to the endgame.

Oh uh I didn't even realize you'd met Kuuya yet >.>

Kuuya was one of my favorite characters from the original outside of Hakuowlo/Eruruu/Aruruu.

And I guess uh "no comment" for everything else you said.

You must be close to the end of that, like 20 episodes left?

Somewhere between 20 and 30, I think.

---

Utawarerumono: Kuuya shows up fairly early on once Hakuowlo takes over the country. I think after they repel the first attack on Tuskur by Niwe a loooong time ago. She sends Genjimaru to stealth into his room and summon him outside the city for nighttime chats. After a few of these she reveals she's a girl (well, it was a reveal to Hakuowlo at least.) Then once things start heating up over there she sends Sakuya to fetch Hakuowlo instead. She's pretty cool... y'know... again outside the hiring decisions and it looks like she herself is going kinda yandere now. Best characters so far IMO are Karulau, Eruruu, Touka, Kuuya, and Benawi probably.

---

Kuuya was my favorite girl by a lot.
---

Yeah I guess that's a change they made to the anime. They group all the interactions with Kuuya in one string of episodes right before/as the arc where Kuuya is relevant is starting.

Mahomes signed a 10 year extension ($400m+) with the Chiefs.

i didn't even know the nfl had 10 year contracts

For Mahomes they do

I don't think the NFL has length limitations like the NBA does. Just most teams don't want to go that long for various reasons.

10 year deals almost never work out in the long run, but Mahomes is worth taking the chance on.

---

Yeah, that this deal is a thing shows there are no limitations I just always assumed it was like the NBA and had like a 5 or 6 year max.

---

Downton Abbey Season 1 Episode 5 complete!

So many rivalries are forming. It's pretty great.

---

Cold Steel 2. Got the Alisa smooch. Good thing is that watching all the scenes will be much faster this time.

---

Downton Abbey Season 1 Episode 6 complete!

Heck yeah Matthew and Mary...although I suspect things will get very complicated very soon

---

A neat little detail there is if you talk to Ferris after accepting Alisa's invitation (but before actually heading back to the dorm), her dialogue updates to indicate she overheard and basically gives Rean the "if you ever hurt her..." line.

F/GO: all these quartz and tickets it's like a dream

---

Yeah I burned through those quartz in FGO to get Skadi.

---

Maybe I should get back to playing Trails from Zero.

---

But I need to finish up 3-5 first.

Also, I think I might be ready to be done with the Smash Ultimate Fighting League. I'm already seeing diminishing returns with it, and it takes up a lot of time each week that I'm increasingly wishing I could spend on other stuff.

---

CS2. IIs the Azure Tree appearing the end of Zero and the Azure Tree disappering the end of Aoi? Or how's the timeline?

---

CS2/Zero/Ao: The Azure Tree goes up (and down) at the very end of Ao.

The timeline looks like this:

Zero starts in January 1204. Cold Steel 1 starts in March 1204. Zero actually ends in May 1204 which correlates with CS1 Chapter 2. IIRC you can read an article that references Zero's Final Chapter in a CS1 newspaper in Chapter 3. There's a few months between Zero and Ao and Ao starts in August 1204 which is CS1 Chapter 5. The West Zemuria Trade Conference is Ao Chapter 2 and obviously correlates with the in media res opening at Garrelia for CS1. CS1's actual ending matches up with Ao Chapter 4. And damn near all of CS2 is during Ao's Final Chapter.

---

I am trying to work my way through World of Light again. I think I'm making decent progress, although I think I'm still a way from being finished.

---

Downton Abbey Season 1 complete!

We started with the sinking of the Titanic and ended with the start of World War I! And quite a lot happened in between. This is a wild show.

---

Downton Abbey Season 2 Episode 1 complete!

I feel like the theme of that episode was "Character gets their hopes up just in time for the rug to be pulled out from under them."

---

9/9/9 p. good

---

The sequels are better!

---

I prefer 999 to either of the sequels, although not by much.
---

I'm still doing my first route. The cast is a mixed bag but the sense of mystery is spectacular.

---

Huh, I certainly didn't expect you to dive into that series.

---

Downton Abbey Season 2 Episode 2 complete!

That was a rather dark episode, but I suppose that's to be expected when you're dealing with the consequences of war.

---

Cold Steel 2. Alright, did the final cleanup before heading to the Villa. Still need 8 AP to reach rank A0. Hope there's still enough game to get there.

---

A bunch of friends have picked up FF14, so I resubbed and got Shadowbringers.

I'm currently on the final MSQ of release Heavensward. Been a wild ride.

---

What job are you using?

---

Been running BLM. It's been a trip trying to remember to use Enochain.

Beat the main Heavensward MSQs. The track for Singularity Reactor was top tier. The thing I've always loved in FFXIV over other MMOs is an absolutely amazing OST.

---

Utawarerumono beated. Thoughts later probably I'm kinda tired now. started tearing up when Aruruu begged Hakuowlo to stay tho.

Think I'll start up P5 Royal for a change of pace instead of going straight into Mask of Deception

---

Nice, I main BLM as well!

And yeah getting the hang of not dropping enochian is super important. I still occasionally drop it during heavy mechanics; being forced to go back to fire 1 for 15 seconds feels awful.

---

did someone say ff14

nothing has ever made me as mad as when I accidentally drop enochian

Downton Abbey Season 2 Episode 3 complete!

It was nice to see Edith finally get some recognition and praise.

Although I'm having the bad feeling that someone is going to get killed off before this season is over.
