Yeah I'm not spending triple digits on an SD card to store things digitally.
I just buy physicals, and with the Smash Ultimate physical coming with a digital download included anyway, I'm still sticking with it. Maybe with something like the next Playstation I can go digital, but with the teeny baby space the Switch has yeah I ain't doing much outside of virutal console.

 

[Pokechu]

I can't swim...

Better learn quick

I do love you, pokechu just... not in a romantic way so you know.

Well, duh!!! Same goes for me! I only love me, myself, and I romantically! Embarrass

I don't have to love someone romantically to drown them with my love, you know.

Neither. I was just making a joke.

I wouldn’t want people I know irl to see what is said here lol

If it means anything I don't know how to ride a bike. I also didn't even have a driver's permit until I was 18 and didn't have a license until I was 20.

 

[Zinith]

I still can't drive. Never needed to

 

[PLATINUM7]

For me and all my friends people who don't drive are a burden.

 

[Will]

I never learned how to drive a bike. I know how to drive though.
My dream was always to have a motorcycle but I always felt that not being able to ride a bike held me back. Also because getting a motorcycle license is kinda expensive from what prerequisites you need. Also in my state you need to take a class but that class you need to already know how to ride a bike so I'm ****ed.

All the cars I owned (including now) were kinda **** though, so maybe one day I'll realize it.

 

[praline]

Gif stealer!

I think I do but everytime I get near a pool I black out and halfway drown to death so Imma say I dont

Maybe you’re afraid of water?

 

[Will]

Maybe you’re afraid of water?

All of my mishaps from trying to learn how to swim gave me fear of being underwater. Water itself is fine.
I mean, if you scared of the water how would you bathe? How would you drink?

Ultimate is like 10 gb I don’t think my memory card can take that.

Like how every one said... Just buy the physical version if you can

And Ultimate isn't just 10 GB but at least 15 GB I think.

 

[Zinith]

For me and all my friends people who don't drive are a burden.

I live ONE block away from the bus station. No joke. I just use that

 

[Will]

I see.
I go on boats and have been to the beach a lot, I just try to not go too far or stick near the edge.

I live ONE block away from the bus station. No joke. I just use that

Do you intend on living in bootleg Las Vegas for the rest of your life?

 

[Deleted member]

I can see it not being necessary depending on where you live. I just used to take the bus/have family give me a lift when I lived in Flagstaff. When I was forced to move out to the boonies for my job, where there is no public transportation, I had to learn.

 

[PLATINUM7]

People who can drive but use public transport are fine.

Those who just never learn to drive are annoying.

Well.. At least it isn't Hawaii, Miami, or Guam right?

As roll safe meme goes:
You will never drown or need to swim if you don't even touch water.

Every time I tried learning how to swim I almost drowned in a terrible mishap.
yeah i'll just stick with my floaties

Here's a tip...
Relax...

I never learned how to drive a bike. I know how to drive though.

I don't think you can "drive" a bike... Or can you?

 

[AndreaAC]

Ronnie from the Game Theorists has committed suicide.

I honestly may have seen just a few of that channel's videos in the past, but after looking things up and seeing the video of Mat talking about the loss of his friend, his emotions and his eyes shining because of the tears...jesus, it broke my heart. I know how it feels to lose someone you were so close with and then find out that they are gone to never return, plus the never ending regrest of not saying what you had to them or giving them a hug. I swear, I was about to shed tears.

 

[Natz~]

katt can drive but the bus is a lot more convient honestly :V

 

[Will]

Here's a tip...
Relax...

this post is sin
dont pull that ****
****ing bad memories

People who can drive but use public transport are fine.

Those who just never learn to drive are annoying.

I mean if you live in an area where you never need to drive for various reasons, do you really have to learn?

I finally beat the Camelot Singularity in Fate/Grand Order last night! I managed to beat it just in time for the Summer Event starting tomorrow.

I'd figure I'd share my full thoughts on Camelot in the spoiler tag below. You both probably haven't beaten it yet though, so perhaps it might not be a good idea to read it now since it spoils lots of stuff. However, you could save this post somewhere on your computer so that you can go back and read it and compare what we all thought about Camelot as a whole once you two have finished it.

Without spoiling anything, I'll preface it by saying this: this is easily my favorite Singularity in terms of story thus far. I loved every second of it, and I think you both will really enjoy it too.

Here are my full thoughts:

Spoiler: My full thoughts on the Camelot Singularity

Looks like those Japanese server Fate/GO players weren't kidding when they said the writing quality really picks up in Camelot, because oh man was the writing fantastic! There wasn't a single moment in the story that made me roll my eyes or laugh because of how something was badly written or felt out of place. It kept me engaged from beginning to end, and it had a great mix of drama and humor too.

I pretty much enjoyed every servant that was featured here. All the Hassans were likable characters, including King Hassan despite him not being available in the game yet. This singularity made me appreciate Arash a lot; I didn't think much about him going into this Singularity, but after seeing his interactions with the other characters, I grew to like him a lot. He's a sociable dude who is such a bro towards others and gets serious when the situation calls for it, and his sacrifice to stop the Rhongomyniad attack on the village was a very memorable scene. Tawara Touta was a fun dude who had some fun interactions with Xuanzang. Nitochris and Ozymandias had some great development. Ozymandias especially had some entertaining dialogue, and I really liked how he learned to expand his interest from defending his people to the world after hearing Xuanzang's speech.

Speaking of Xuanzang, Camelot's made me grow to love Xuanzang's character. I already liked her from what I've heard of her prior, including seeing her interactions in the Journey to the West event, but playing through Camelot really opened my eyes to how great Xuanzang was. Definitely one of the stars in Camelot's story as a matter of fact! Despite being ditzy and crying when she goes too far ahead and gets lost, I loved the insight she gave to the other characters and even the smack talks she gave (like her dialogue with Ozymandias). The dialogue she has with Mash while they were on the way to meet King Hassan was one particular highlight too, as the scene really explained her motivations and her drive in life. Her sacrifice to break the Holy City's front gate open was also a great scene even she had the death flag raised during the night talk with Ritsuka prior to the Holy City invasion. The fact Xuanzang even answered my summoning call a short while ago only made me more happy now that I reflect on the journey.

Da Vinci had a more active role in this Singularity compared to the others, and boy was she great! Her quick perception on the situation and her intellect paved the way for some memorable scenes, such as her dialogue during the whole Holy Selection scene (more on that later). Her supposed sacrifice caught me off guard, and I loved that detail how she only appeared as a hologram while visiting her in the shop during the duration of when Da Vinci was supposedly dead. Her comeback scene genuinely made me smile.

Mash also had plenty of great character development throughout this Singularity. You can tell how impacted she was from seeing Rushd's mother die at the hands of the Enforcer Knight early into the story, and she had plenty of great dialogue with Bedivere too. Her aggressive move on Lancelot was a nice touch, especially once you learn that the servant she is infused with is Galahad, a.k.a. Lancelot's son. It's almost like Galahad was talking to Lancelot in that scene! Her confrontation with the Lion King felt like a great culmination of her character development, especially with that special scene when she uses her Lord Camelot Noble Phantasm for the first time.

The Knights of the Round Table made some great villains. Gawain's moment during the whole Holy Selection scene showed what a vicious tongue he can, yet we also learn of his noble side towards the end when he explained his motivations for joining the Lion King. We even saw how strong this guy really is: getting blasted by Rhongomyniad to the edge of the city and surviving it all? Damn! Mordred was a fun villain too. We knew her as the spunky good girl that she was in London and Fate/Apocrypha, but here, she's the spunky trash talker who made a fun villain. I was almost shocked when she recognized Mash at first which made me think it was the same Mordred from London, but it turned out to be a different Mordred and the familiarity she spoke of probably was referring to Mash having Galahad inside her. I also liked Mordred and Arash's dialogue together and her words prior when she talked about how she didn't give a damn what was coming despite that she was fated to die on her father's orders.

Tristan was a pretty good love-to-hate-villain too. This guy was not joking around when he delivered all those kills with that harp-like bow of his. Killing those refugees, his fellow soldiers for letting Hassan of Serenity escape, and his attack on the Eastern Village, all these scenes made him out to be quite a cold-blooded killer that you just wanted to see him get a taste of his own medicine. I really wish we actually got to see his demise compared to the other servants, especially since his death was never really shown (it ended with Hassan using his Cursed Arm to take out most of Tristan's body, followed by that ghost that came out of nowhere and attacked him over and over). I can see why many dislike Tristan from Camelot alone, but I heard his Interlude really fleshes out his character and shows his sympathetic side, so I think I'll check that out some time.

Then there's Agravain, another character that was made out to be a love-to-hate villain with the way he served in the Round Table as well as knowing about Agravain from the Arthurian legends prior. He looked especially intimidating during his battle with Lancelot, with his demonic-like face combined with all the blood he was covered in. It would've been cool if we could fight him, but I guess we didn't have that chance because he didn't have the Holy Grail gift like the other Knights had. Agravain turned out to be quite a sympathetic dude, especially during his battle with Lancelot where he explained his backstory. This dude was used as a tool by his mother/Arturia's sister, Morgan, just so she could steal the throne, and that was part of the reason why he grew to despise women. He ultimately served King Arthur because he believed Arthur was the one that would continue Britain's prosperity. He even has a nice final moment with the Lion King at the very end of Camelot's story.

Lancelot was definitely my favorite of the villain Knights, and this Singularity made me appreciate him a lot. He turned out to be quite a likable dude who managed to make a refugee camp those outside the Holy City, and he even realized how the Lion King was in the wrong. I was surprised when I learned he allied alongside us, but that made me like him a lot more. It'd be great if I can summon his Saber persona!

The Lion King was a decent villain too. It turned out the King had a noble motive of saving all that were deemed the least likely to turn evil, but it had flaws as our heroes pointed out. The Lion King also made a great end-game boss too. Seriously, those themes of her were epic! They really conveyed the confrontation of god quite well!

But of course, I can't forget the real star of the story: Bedivere! I didn't think much of him prior, but man do I love him now. He was such an awesome character throughout it. I genuinely felt for him with the burden he had to face when confronting the very men he once fought alongside with, and he even had some great dialogue with Mash as the two talked about the struggles and motivations. Honestly, I think the two make a cute ship! I also almost got emotional during his final scene when he confronted the Lion King and we learned about the two twists regarding him: that his sword arm was actually Excalibur and that he was the cause of the Lion King's condition. He didn't want his King to die by putting the sword into the lake (the fact he was her first Knight and that flashback showing their dialogue on the fort only added to our understandings of his emotions), and he even pondered back and forth about whether or not he wanted to do it, even crying by the third time he met with the King again. Because he ultimately did not put Excalibur into the lake, Artoria never died and became the Lion King. Now, he wants to make things right, going on the journey to the Singularity. It was nice to see how Mash was happy that he was summoned to Chaldea shortly after the Singularity ended. In all, him and Lancelot are my favorite of the Knights of the Round Table after beating this story.

As for some other memorable scenes, the Holy Selection scene was one of the highlights. We saw just how wrong the Holy Selection was with the way Rushd's mother was chosen but not with her son, leading to a chilling scene where she begs the Enforcer Knight to let her bring her son along, but the Knight refuses and calls them "filth" and eventually kills her. What made this scene even more powerful was how Rushd thought her mother didn't actually die despite everyone else and the audience knowing the opposite. We even see how the death impacted Mash and gave her some nice character development. The whole scene where our heroes learn about the truth about the Lion King's motive and more clues regarding King Solomon from Sherlock Holmes was also a highlight. Sherlock was a nice character throughout it, and I wish he had more screentime. Thankfully, he'll appear in the subsequent stories in the updates to come, so there's that. The Melty Blood fan part of me even felt excited seeing how the Atlas Institute was referenced and incorporated into the story, especially when they referenced Warachia through his original alias.

Gameplay-wise, the battles were challenging but fun. The Japanese server Fate/GO players were right that the difficulty picks up in Camelot. Most of the Knights of the Round Table had me thinking strategically and planning which servants I should bring in advance so that I wouldn't need to use up all my Command Spells, and I can proudly say I didn't need to waste a single Command Spell for any of them and the rest of the boss battles! The Ozymandias boss battle towards the end was also quite challenging too, especially with how you needed to be careful with which of the two to kill while you had to put out both an Assassin and a Rider to make the battle easier (notably, each time you face Ozymandias, he has a Caster alongside him, so your Assassin servants aren't free to go in for the kill). The final battle with the Lion King was epic too. The first round went well for me with minimal servant losses, but the second round was a bit tough: I lost half my team from two Rhongomyniad NPs, but thankfully, Siegfried and Caesar did quite some damage to the Lion King before the other servants could finish the job. Notably, Mordred landed the final blow with her NP and three additional attacks. Quite fitting and satisfying to see Mordred get the kill she always wanted!

Man, I wrote a lot more about Camelot than I thought I'd write. I guess that just shows you how much I loved the Camelot Singularity. Truly my favorite Singularity story-wise in Fate/Grand Order thus far!
