Board 8 > SaveEstelle & LeonhartFour in New Houses: End of Saga Edition [SELF]

(+) Yeah! (+)

argh Cowboys played well but came up short

story of the last 25 years (minus the Dave Campo years)

---

Ravens/Chiefs Monday Night Football followed by Jets/Broncos Thursday Night Football might provide the starkest contrast in quality games we've ever seen

---

who was in charge of scheduling these thursday night games

I feel like were being pranked

---

Thursday night games suck because the NFL decided every team gets at least one primetime game per year but they don't want the really bad teams on Sunday night or Monday night because of the ratings they draw. That's why we had Titans/Jaguars on Thursday night for like the last 7 years.

without a doubt

---

I feel like Jets/Broncos is a potential "loser leaves town" match for the coaches

it might be too early to pull the plug on Fangio I guess but he doesn't look cut out for the job and Gase obviously isn't

---

You don't know the Jets very well if you think Gase is in imminent danger of being fired! I'm not convinced he's not still HC next year!

---

anything is possible with the Jets!

well, except being good

My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU Season 3 complete!

That was a nice finale, although it feels weird that this is the end now. Hikigaya's character growth was the obvious highlight of this season, even if the season overall wasn't as strong as the first two.

also I want an OVA where Yui tries to take Isshiki's advice seriously in the future

---

yes date rape is good times
---

I would just want it as a parody because Yui would utterly screw it up

---

Dragon Ball Episode 134 complete!

First grown up Goku fight was a bit anticlimactic, but hey, we've got cyborg mercenary Tao, so I'll take it!

---

The Office Season 4 Episode 13 complete!

I always kinda hated it when job fairs came to school.

---

All right, with this absolutely magical event in F/GO winding down (or perhaps more critically my Golden Apple stock reaching the emergency minimum I feel like keeping around; but really tomorrow is the last day either way) I should probably get to my CS3 replay in anticipation of CS4. (omg less than a month now)

---

The Office Season 4 complete!

A lot of big twists in that episode! I'm kinda sad to see Toby go because he kinda grew on me over time, but at the same time, Michael is at his worst when interacting with Toby, so maybe this is for the best...!

---

The Office Season 5 Episode 1 complete!

Michael with a goatee looks weird

---

Xenoblade Chapter 13 beated!

I spend a lot of time learning the history of the Machina and how Egil changed from a kind, gentle soul to someone bent on destroying all life on the Bionis. Sharla relives a flashback moment with Gadolt, which makes me (and hopefully her too) wonder what she saw in this guy, especially compared to Reyn.

As if the foreshadowing weren't obvious enough, we wind up facing the Jade Face and he reveals himself to be Gadolt, now featuring a Kano laser eye.

also I gotta say navigating Mechonis Field was a bit annoying because it was hard to tell where stuff was because they would show up on the same floor on the map but they would be at different levels, so it took some time to figure out where you were supposed to actually go

Whats your office season rankings halfway through?

Hmmm...that's a tough one. I think I'd go 3 > 2 > 4 > 1?

---

ASMR is a bizarre recent trend that I also kind of secretly enjoy

---

Might take a bit to break my Persona 5 muscle memory in CS3. Kept changing my party leader at first when I meant to run.

Aurelia's entrance speech to the students is still A+ lmao. GOAT Principal.

---

yeaaah doesn't watch nfl dante is officially in the green this year for pickem no matter what happens the rest of the season

any more wins are just (more) profit

---

Looks like my Titans are the first Covid outbreak of the season

---

rip

i'll be curious to see how that impacts the schedules, and well, everything else

---

does that retroactively make chiefs/ravens the super bowl as the last game played

---

i hope it means that it rearranges the prizes for my pickem league for canceled weeks. We used to do every week won 1/20 of the pool for each week win, 2/20 for overall, and 1/20 for second overall. I won weeks 2/3, so I'm also first overall, and I'd be totally down with taking 4/6 of the total pool of 1200 bucks if the nfl just got canceled right now

somehow i do not think the other participants of the league would be accepting of this

It means move over Dolphins you've got 6 more members of the undefeated season club

Dragon Ball Episode 135 complete!

The one metaphysical certainty in this final eight is that Yamcha will absolutely lose to that clumsy old dude.

---

wow no faith in our hero yamcha

---

I have faith in Yamcha's role in this show.

---

Which is to show how much good training can work for anyone right

F/GO: Okay, pretty much wrapped up with Gilfest. I'll probably spend a few more Bronze Apples since all these boxes have me sitting on hundreds of them but otherwise basically done. All told I'll probably end up with something like 133-135 boxes cleared. it was so beautiful. all these gems and money and void dust. shout outs to the game trolling me with 2 CKT drops with one on the final gold apple and another on my natural ap today such that I could MLB another one and increase my bonus to +9 now that I can no longer grind lol.

Hadn't checked the final two Challenge Quests until today because I simply didn't have the head for it before after banging it on the wall against Taiga. Darth Saber's one was... interesting. Didn't complete it but I wonder if I spent more time than I have thinking about it if I couldn't find a way through. I don't think I have the tools to survive her second bar and I don't think any single Friend Support could patch that up... but I can hang around with her first bar so I wonder if hypothetically I could deny her enough mobs such that I could frantically try to survive the second bar since it's tied into its timer.

Final CQ was much more straightforward by comparison. After a bunch of wipes to understand the exact mechanics and how they could interact with one another (Like mistaking Billy's "Ignore DEF" as "Ignore Invulnerability" or not paying attention to detail and finding out Nero's Guts buff was a 3 timer) I determined the order I wanted to defeat everyone in and then it was a matter of like literally 10 attempts to get even halfway decent card luck for the first few turns to work out as I wanted.

Ultimately I went with Jeanne Alter Berserker w/MLB Grudge Match, Mash w/Poster Girl, and Friend Merlin w/whatever as my frontline with Waver next to replace the Mash Scarfice and then Atalante Alter w/ Grudge Match and Berserkalot with my other MLB Grudge Match as the last one.

Needed good enough cards for Jeanne to wipe out Bunyan quick so Nero would blow Mash up on the Remove DEF Buff turn, then Merlin and Waver were free to dump all their buffs on Jeanne and nuke Mary&Anne and then Jekyll and Hyde after her. She went down around here and Atalante Alter took over to take out Medusa Lily to give me Gil/Nero/Billy. Order Switched in Berserkalot for the now stunned Atalante, fed him a CS and took out Gil and Billy on the first NP. He refunded enough NP with Waver and Merlin's buffs coming off CD to fire again to take out Nero (would have used another CS here if I had to, of course.)

Definitely had some favorable card luck in this attempt but victory!

so I randomly thought to have my mom bring me all my piggy banks from home growing up that she kept in the attic

Just cashed them in at a CoinStar and got 208 bucks

---

That's half a PS5 !

---

Maybe I should consider it my PS5 fund

---

Trade in your PS4 for the other half!

my dad has had this massive jug of pennies that i think has been around from before i was born and is still added to to this day. i kind of wonder how much is in it.

---

I'd probably have had a lot more if I hadn't used it as my video game rental fund growing up!

---

the good ole days of blockbuster

---

I remember bragging to my friends that I beat Super Mario RPG in a single weekend rental

The Office Season 5 Episode 2 complete!

Okay, I didn't see the proposal coming in that spot.

this debate is a hilarious disaster already

F/GO: Okay, Gilfest for realz over. 135 boxes cleared. 5/7 CQs completed. Apple stock - devastated. I'm happy with this result. >_>

well i still feel like i'm going to hardcore regret all that rolling i did on the banner to start it off in chase of Gil but what's done cannot be undone.

---

i had a root canal done this afternoon and lets just say Id consider that the highlight of my day

---

Id say it was a dumpster fire, but I think thatd be understating it

---

Nice work with Gilfest, xp. This was the best place to use your Apples for sure. And yeah, MHXA + Jaguar were definitely the hardest fights. Not really sure there's a good way to beat MHXA without having the right Servants (my strategy was just stall and be invincible every turn with a Tamamo/Merlin/Jeanne team...). I think the best way to do it is to break MHXA ASAP and then just stall as hard as possible until she starves to death. Was nice to have the final CQ be relatively easy in comparison.

As for change, I don't think I ever had a piggy bank as a kid. Or if I did, I never saved up more than a few dollars...
---

I feel like I'm about to hit that point of no return in Xenoblade.

---

are you (potentially) ready for some Tuesday Night Football

---

not really

---

Dragon Ball Episode 136 complete!

While I'm glad Tien won because I'd rather see the Goku/Tien rematch, I was kind of surprised it was such a curbstomp. I guess it's meant to indicate how much they've all grown when even Mercenary Tao is a pushover now.
