Board 8 > SaveEstelle/LeonhartFour in New Houses: Dragon Ball Complete Edition [SELF]

(+) Yeah! (+)

I was considering doing Colony Iota during Chapter 3 but I didn't want to get any more overleveled, so I'm currently saving it for a while.

RIP Eunie. I can't believe she died. Although she's alive again. Definitely some shenanigans going on here.

Consul J just kinda wrecked me. One problem I always have with Xenoblade is it is sometimes hard to figure out why the boss is killing me so I don't know where to start with fixing the problem. I eventually won but I still don't know why what I did worked. After Eunie, I guess I should have expected more characters who were dead to suddenly not be dead. I have no idea what is going on.

It's pretty clear that people get reincarnated as soon as they die, I think. Not 100% sure if J's heroic sacrifice is the reason he was reincarnated as a consul, apparently with some memories intact. I wonder if being offseen has any effect on the cycle?

Xenoblade 3 spoilers up to the end of Chapter 3
I guess that make sense. Although, I'm not sure the Consuls put much stock into a heroic sacrifice. Although, maybe they found it entertaining enough to promote J to Consul. Where I'm at Noah seems to have figured something out about off-seering since it worked on those mud bodies that weren't supposed to be alive. So definitely some shenanigans going on there as well.

My niece got featured in a local news story. That was pretty cool.

Uh oh I think we all have a stomach virus

Yep, definitely a stomach virus

Sucks! I had food poisoning the last day or two and it wasnt fun.

Stomach viruses suck, yeah.

One thing I've learned (or perhaps relearned) is that Pedialyte tastes like crap

Sure does! I usually go for coconut water instead

Coconut water is the bomb

Managed to make it through the night without throwing up but I have zero energy right now

*looks at XB3 spoilers everywhere*

maybe i should finally play xb2...

You should!

just finished aot s4e26

was thinking about how recent seasons haven't been as explicitly gory, but the return of annie's titan form is quickly changing that

also man they lingered hard on armin's bullet-riddled skull

war was never fun, but civil war is even less fun :(

Wheel of Time book 0 beated!

It was a nice change of pace to have a book with a sharp focus that wasn't jumping around perspectives between a bunch of minor characters like recent books have been. Plus, getting some more background on Lan and Moiraine was nice.

4 > 6 > 2 > 5 > 7 > 1 > 9 > 3 > 0 > 10 > 8

Something like that. New Spring is difficult to rate compared to the other books, but I do like it.

Xenoblade 3 somewhere in Chapter 4 spoilers
The punch was fast and unexpected so I didn't quite realize whose fist that was. <3 Mio.

Best scene in the game so far. (I think it's about 60% of the way through chapter 4?)

It was a really good scene!

I haven't been giving updates lately but I'm still moving along. I'm still technically in Chapter 3 but I'm willing to bet it'll pretty much end if I walk a couple of feet in the direction the game wants me to. I just fought Consul J and I'll have much more thoughts on that when I officially end the chapter.

...But I noticed Skip Travel seems to be available at the moment so I might see if I can tackle the Iota Hero Quest. I would have preferred another level or two before attempting it but why not?

I still need to do that Hero Quest. I've been putting it off since it seemed like I would get too overlevelled if I went for it early.

Same. I'm in the second area in chapter 4 right now.

Stranger Things Season 3 complete!

Wow, the biggest plot twist of this season was that Suzie turned out to be real! Also, it was nice that they gave Billy his moment of redemption, even though I didn't particularly like him. My guess is that the "American" in the post-credits scene is Hopper and he didn't die at the end. Either that, or he somehow got trapped in the Upside Down. Regardless, I don't think he's dead.

Not sure if I preferred season 1 or season 3, but they were both pretty great.

Yeah, if I can succeed (and I might not, I'm at level 36!) I expect to level up like 2-3 times just doing the quest lol.

~~~

Stranger Things: wow how dare you doubt the integrity of my boy dustin

Hyped for Season 4.

Oh, before you do the Iota quest: (maybe a slight spoiler, but read if you care about perfecting your affinity chart): It appears that if you want green links between Alexandria and her squad you need to fight the four of them on the field before going to her in Colony Iota. Three of them are accessible in Ch. 3, but one is only available starting from the beginning of Ch. 4

oh then i guess i will wait a little. darn.

So much exp. >_>

Last time I checked my BEXP I had 10 levels worth lol.

I think 10 levels of bonus exp was where I was at at that point as well.

I am behind a game and recently started Xenoblade 2 - currently in Chapter 3. quick thoughts thus far

-This game's humor is... not what I expected
-Riki remains the only good Nopon
-Chairman WHO

Early impression is below the first game's but I suspect it will pick up. Need to play around with different characters/Blades in combat still (mostly just using Rex/Pyra).

The Blade Quests are the best part of XB2 imo

I'm up to chapter 5 of XB3. Still good stuff

The humor does seem to be a miss for a lot of players who started with Xenoblade 1. Sounds like it's going be a miss for you unfortunately.

How is your gacha luck? Pull any Rare Blades yet?

Finally got a chance to watch the Sonic 2 movie. Honestly, first half of the movie was pretty slow aside from the first couple scenes with Knuckles and Robotnik. Second half of the movie was really fun though. Jim Carrey's over the top hamminess stole the show again, of course, but Idris Elba did a good job as Knuckles and it felt like they did the character justice.

Also I kinda wish I hadn't already heard about the credits scene with Shadow ahead of time because that would've been even more hype

Xenoblade 3: Okay Chapter 3 officially beated. Thoughts below.

Couple of main thought processes here that intersect a lot between past!Eunie and J. I think it's pretty clear that the world, or at least the colonies, is running on a loop of sorts. That the enemy group calls themselves Moebius was pretty much hint enough. I'm guessing that Eunie was remembering a past loop of her life where she was in Colony 18 there. There was no sign of Noah, Lanz, or anyone else we know from Colony 9 so maybe they mix up where they stick people or maybe they're just holding that reveal back. I also think it's kinda interesting that Eunie was in a Gold rank colony there and the opponent *was* Moebius. There's a story there. Did that colony figure out the truth? Is the "reward" for Gold rank that Moebius comes down and kills you off for being too good? Did Colony 18 "win" the war and Moebius was the secret final boss?

As for Joran. I'm actually surprised the party is taking him at his word here. He literally demonstrated the ability to shapeshift as Isurd to psychologically torment Taion but no one goes "Yo, wait up a sec, think he's doing the same to you Colony 9 guys?" I mean *I* believe him because he's named Consul J but they don't have that level of meta awareness! Anyway, not entirely sure what to make of him. Given my above loop theory with Eunie it's entirely possible he's a past Joran who watched what happened to present!Joran in their big theater and is just fucking with them. Alternatively, given my other earlier theory (still live) that the world is some kind of sim or game (and they up the game imagery in the Chapter 4 intro cutscene) it's possible that somehow his death made him aware of the true nature of the world and he's just kind of lost it and is treating the whole thing like a cosmic joke.

Mai-HiME Episode 22 complete!

Hate to break it to you, Mai, but the "drive away everyone I care about" plan always backfires spectacularly!

Also I thought Shizuru was cool until now. Oh well.

Jim Carrey retiring sounds very bad for sonic 3

yeah I'm not sure what they do there

They can either kill off Robotnik (bad idea) or recast Jim Carrey, which could go well if they get the right person but it won't be the same

Or I guess they could try to convince him to come out of retirement which probably won't work but still

Especially when you considered that fact that even if one pushes people away, there is technically always someone occupying the #1 spot even if they aren't that close.

wow looks like me watching Sonic 2 has set everything in motion

Stranger Things Season 4 Episode 1 complete!

wow the Sinclairs have become too OP

also the new monster this season reminds me of the Cryptkeeper from Tales from the Crypt, just without the hair

erica solos season 1 would have been anticlimactic

maybe they'll save that for the Season 1 NG+

wrapped part 2 of S4 AOT last night

man those wall titans are just hilariously OP compared to any other titan, right?

you gotta love any time in a story when they say guys the WHOLE MILITARY is here for this, this is HUMANITY'S LAST STAND - thinking of world war z and dbz's cell games specifically..

my fiancee is not at all on board with the former scouts killing their fellow jaegerists and fighting alongside reiner and annie. she's pro-rumbling!

gotta sleep with one eye open now if she's pro-Rumbling

Mai-HiME Episode 23 complete!

Haruka got to go out like a boss, as she would have wanted

Yukariko turning out to be the instigator of all the HiME battles was a pretty surprising twist

Mai-HiME Episode 23 spoilers

RIP Professor. RIP Haruka. I liked Haruka a lot. Nao was framed and lost an eye over it.

Stranger Things Season 4 Episode 2 complete!

Wow, someone got clobbered in the face, and it wasn't Steve! Although he narrowly avoided something worse!

Mai-HiME Episode 24 complete!

Do you know why the Yatagarasu has three legs? Wait, wrong series.

Still, a real no-win situation for Tate there, tough break.

Xenoblade 3, still in Chapter 4: Mio is so done with this shit lol. I don't know how she managed to punch a Moebius like 50 feet but I'm here for it. Also, dang not sure who had "becomes a mafia boss" down as Melia's future. "That's a nice colony you have there, be a shame if anything happened to it." I'm still not clear on what Cammuravi was doing there. Ethel tried to fill in the holes for me but made it worse at the last second. He got captured by Keves at some point but chose to be "reborn?" What? Can't be literal because his mark was still almost depleted in the scene Ethel said that. Did the Moebius/Evil Noah tell him the whole war is a farce or something but not tell Ethel for kicks?

Mai-HiME Episode 24 spoilers
Yeah, that was a pretty rough position for everyone involved.

Xenoblade 3 chapter 4 spoilers. Only about the scene Thorn just watched.
I love Mio. I posted about that scene just after I saw it as well.

Stranger Things Season 4 Episode 3 complete!

Best episode of the season so far. Lots of good exposition.

although if they kill off Max in the same brutal fashion as the first two people, I will not be happy
