She-Hulk Episode 1 complete!

Pretty solid as an intro episode, had some Deadpool vibes to it. The chemistry between the two Hulks was really good, although I'd be surprised if Mark Ruffalo is around for too much more of this show, unfortunately.

XB2's tutorialization is really awkward, since they explain how to do stuff right at the start that you won't be doing until you're dozens of hours in.

Not a Nopon fan either personally. Part of that is the weird insistence on making them speak in broken English in the localization, despite them talking fine in the Japanese... XB3's Nopons have all been pretty solid tho.

Stranger Things Season 4 Episode 8 complete!

Brenner was the real monster all along.

Also, it would be cool if the plan to defeat Vecna worked without Eleven's help, but I know there's no way they're going to let it happen that way.

Xenoblade 3 Chapter 6 + early Chapter 7 spoilers
I wonder if the game will ever explain how Nia landed a job as a queen. She doesn't really seem the type to want the job. >_> I am bad with Consul letters. I've been referring to D as K for a while now. It's good to see J finally came to his senses and help take out D. The game is suggesting that there's still something important we don't know about the Moebius. I have no idea what it could even be. The party just kinda leaves Nia inside the Skykeep for some reason. Should she go to the Agnus castle or the City or something? Now that we are going on a rescue mission for Melia and the plot seems to be tying in more to Xenoblade 1 and 2, I wonder if any other old characters will show up. Like Tyrea should be around somewhere, right?

Honestly I think the one thing that's legitimately irritated me about the game so far is the way they inundate you with (mandatory) tutorials at the beginning when you have little context to really understand what they're saying, and then as far as I can tell the only way in-game to ever read that tutorial text again is to buy it from an Informant.

You can buy them from an informant? That wasn't in the base game before all the patches so I forgot it existed. Xenoblade 2 is not great with tutorials. In the past the general advice was the screenshot the tutorials so one could read them when they actually matter. Xenoblade 3 fortunately fixes this issue and lets the player view the tutorial whenever they want.

I didn't actually buy anything from the Informant so it's possible I'm mistaken--they looked like Tutorials though.

Stranger Things Season 4 complete!

R.I.P. Eddie and Max (I'm assuming she's gone anyway, based on the scene where Eleven entered her mind at the hospital and couldn't find her).

A lot of emotional moments at the end there. For some reason, I was assuming this was the final season, but looks like we've got one more. Now I have to endure the wait!

I think overall this season is slightly below seasons 1 and 3, but it was still really good.

Xenoblade 3:

Just when I thought my exploration was over.... Soul Hacker sends me on a mission to go beat up UMs. Annoying that I have refight ones I already beat, but at least I can quick travel to them. But now I'll feel compelled to try and remember the many that I had to pass on because they were too high of a level at the time.

Do you have Nintendo Switch Online? If so...
Get a bunch of Legendary Cores. Get enough Dark Boosters to go with each one.
Back up your save file and disable auto backup.
Open the Cores
Restore from backup if you don't get what you want.

I think this works but I've never had a chance to try it myself.

Xenoblade 3: Chapter 5 beated. Played Chapter 6 up until, okay not technically the first time I could save but after you beat Mecha Nia and the Annihilator fires at where the City was and X just abandons Agnus Castle. Saved right after I got control from all that.

that escalated quickly

Called the N/M situation pretty much down to the smallest details, including the implication that M may not be as evil as N. Clearly my powers as a Xeno expert are shining through here! Anyway, the end of Chapter 5/start of Chapter 6 was all A+. The cutscene where M just styles all over the party was incredible. Like I'm kinda sad M's situation was seemingly resolved because M was having the time of her life playing the villain and it was incredible. I also appreciate N rejecting every chance for a redemption arc that the party kept trying to hand him because he's also just a lot better being an unapologetic asshole. Since X dragged him with her (I think) that redemption arc may still be coming and he'll go out helping us with that Z guy who is clearly our final boss but I hope not.

The scenes where the party was imprisioned (well the time they were imprisoned and didn't intend on it) were really great. Mio still the best. I also appreciate my man Riku pointing out what I was screaming internally before, why the FUCK did Noah never think to draw Lucky Seven in the N fight when they were getting wrecked. That sword is canonically stronger than literally anything they have, including their Ouroboros forms, but he never thinks to try it. And then it was like that montage was *also* a secret Riku montage building up to him calling Noah the fuck out on that.

Noah in the dream/fog/memory/heaven/whatever-scape was interesting just because like... it's clearly occurring on some level. Is it like the same dimension as the Moebius theater? Is that kid Alvis? If not, who else even has that level of authority? It shouldn't be Shulk but he'd be my next guess. I know TRE threw out a "Z better not be Zanza" mention way earlier and like... agreed... but I also dunno who else he could be at this point.

Also, most importantly ofc, is Mio got the greatest buff in the game so far by getting long hair. The best keep getting better.

Xenoblade 3 Chapter 5 and early Chapter 6 spoilers (up to where Thorn is)

When I started off a prison break, I had no idea it was going to end in all that. I also has the misfortune of starting that sequence fairly late at night so there was not much sleep to be had that night because there just wasn't a good stopping point. I still need to go back and rewatch the scenes knowing that M and Mio switches places. Like I think it might have been before "M" attacked the party so that would have been Mio pretending to be M playing the villain but I'm not sure. It was sad to see M go. She's didn't really get much screentime in the end. She couldn't really show up earlier because her mask effectively hid nothing. >_>

I said this a bit earlier, but couldn't Riku start helping a bit sooner? Like I get he seemingly wants Noah to figure things out but he's cutting it very close to the deadline!

Which kid were you referring to that you thought might be Alvis. You mean past Mio and past Noah's kid? Someone else?

Long hair Mio gang represent!

Xenoblade 3:

Like I said, Riku clearly knows things. Like that expression on his face the whole time they were captive. He knew exactly what he was doing lol. Slightly more seriously, I think it's pretty clear Lucky Seven is a Monado. X basically pulls the "That sword...!" trope when it one-shots Nia's robot which all but clinches what was a growing suspicion of mine for a while now given how inexplicably ridiculous that thing is. Which leads back to the question of "Why did Riku just *have* this thing?" He 100% knows more than he's letting on. Maybe not enough to justify waiting until like 15 seconds before the deadline but I feel like he's way more important/knowledgeable than the game acts like.

As for the kid, I mean the one in the hood talking with Noah while he was in the fog/flashback zone showing Noah N's memories and asking if he'd still make the same choice. Whoever it is has access to all those, can show them, and also was present in the Moebius theater when N spoke with Z and made the choice to become Moebius (N looks up before he makes his decision and he's standing in the balcony watching.) To me that feels like Alvis/Monado/Aegis level stuff like how Alvis was just mostly observing Zanza. But from what we know so far like... I feel like the only ones left with that power left are Alvis himself and Pyra/Mythra. I'm ruling the latter out because that's just too much of a con game. Alvis theoretically should be around as an observer so it *could* be him I think. Shouldn't be N and M's kid but I guess I can't rule that out but no, I don't mean him. He's very clearly shown. The one I'm talking about has their face obscured by the hood the whole time and you only really see their mouth.

Guess you missed it, but that was M/Mio. Not 100% sure which one, though I think it was Mio?

Mio's long hair clips through her body/clothes so it's the bad choice imo.

After beating the game, I have no idea why Riku didn't help more. Unless maybe Mio or M explained the whole plan to him and he's in on it? I dunno.

Personally I didn't care for any of the N stuff, but I know some people like his stuff a fair amount.

As for M being evil: if it makes you feel better, she was draining people's life and acting as a consul for over 1000 years, so that's something :p

It's right when the teardrop falls down M's face. It's pretty close to the start of the encounter, and includes the whole fight.

Xenoblade 3 (to Mac): Oh, was that it? No, I knew at the end when Noah made the decision to reject N's path they took the form of Mio but what made me strike that as a possibility was that they appeared in the Moebius theater flashback so I thought that precluded the possibility that it was really M/Mio and that Mio appearing at the end was more symbolic but I guess I had it the wrong way around.

For the theater part that might just be because all Moebius hang out in the theater sometimes.

Yeah, but why would she have been there *before* N chose to become Moebius (the scene I'm referring to is when Noah is seeing the memory of N choosing to become one)? That was the sticking point for me. My impression was N chose to become Moebius and then dragged his Mio into becoming one too.

I think it has to do with the reincarnation thing with M and N's souls splitting to become Mio and Noah. M has some awareness of that process, from what I can tell. Not that it's ever really elaborated on.
