Wow.

This looks great.
YOOOOOOOO The Three Caballeros are back!

I only vaguely remember the film but there's enough of a foggy memory for it that I'm excited to see the three back.

who's gonna tell him
Tell about what? Even though this might made me look like an idiot, I'm actually curious to know what did I missed lol, I know those were just jokes so I guess let's just let it slide.

don't embarrass him
just let him live his fantasy
There's nothing to be embarrassed lol, especially when I don't understand the pun...

And yeah sure I will, this is XC2 that was mentioning afterall, this game always cause up stuff like these.

"Oh wow, Zeke has kind of a cool design, I might like hi-"
He's a chuuni


I hate this trope.
So.
Much.
Please, literally any other personality than this one.
Yeah, his personality cause his debut to be a bit of uh... cliche... and not impressed

It took him until chapter 6 to shine...

More Octopath Traveler playthrough as well.

I just realized that Tressa's VA, doesn't sound really that good, still okay when in battles though.
How can I get those medicine stuff for Alfyn btw?

Zeke has a lot more character to him that isn't just being a chuunibyou though.
Ehhhh. I guess.

I will say, Idon Idon , as time goes on it becomes less pronounced.

It'd be spoiler-y to explain more, but short version don't worry about having to sit through too much of that.

Wow.

Ooo.

Still remember The Three Caballeros somewhat from when I was a kid. That's right in the nostalgia.

I'll keep an eye out.

Also the sequel to the 3 Caballeros was probably one of my favourite classic Donald Duck comics
Also thank **** I wasn't the only one who remembered em, I was worried for a minute there.

We Dutchies got you fam, Donald, José and Pachito are beloved in the Netherlands due to the weekly Donald Duck magazine, although José is called Joe here. Hell, me and my friends were excited about Magica in Ducktales because she's got about as many appearances as the Beagle Boys

I just realized that my brother's PC keyboard is disgusting...

So I ordered this thing:
I remember it was a bit of a hassle to clean the keyboards, or any small gaps in electronics. So, at first I was skeptical to bought this weird slim... once I tried it it really works. The only thing I didn't like it was the smell...

I mention this months ago where this slim actually made my Joy Cons joy stick back to normal. Not sure if it's because it cleans the dust or it is something else.

Not bothering with the rest but...



EDIT: Thanks image uploader, it was the fat controller meme if anyone cares.
I can still see the pic when quoting though lol.

More rant on Smashboards... the site is really unstable when it comes to pic unable to be loaded... and even suffer bad gateway occasionally... also there's no saving draft button on mobile for some reason...

Yep, I'm pretty sure I've seen this before, this meme somewhat being overuse in my opinion. Not mention simple posting a meme saying I'm wrong doesn't help with the discussion lol. I'm really curious to know why you think Nia has more chemistry than Rex since to some extent this is really just a matter of opinion sharing, after chapter 7 oh man it seems like the chemistry between Rex and Nia just become mute for all of sudden...

I mean you know what happened back in chapter 6 lol, man Nia almost had it.

Then again, not sure why do I even bother when you don't bother on my opinions (Not just that but also my explanation on why some prefer Rex in Smash), I can only leave with a head shook of disappointment I guess.

Pyra literally has no chemistry with Rex. Every single one of their """"romantic"""" scenes is beyond forced and cringe-inducing to watch. It's all just very stock harem anime garbage and they have to turn Pyra into a complete dere-dere in order to make those scenes happen. Pyra is at her best when she's not involved with Rex, and Rex is at his best when he's not involved with Pyra (I actually really liked Rex in Chapter 1 - then he meets Pyra and it's mostly downhill from there). But as soon as the writers demand it, Pyra drops being a unique character with her own personality to be nothing more than Rex's mommy gf. And unfortunately that's basically 90% of her screentime.

Basically, all of these forced scenes trying to push RexxPyra completely remove the agency of both characters. We're not even given a clear reason as to why they would love each other. Pyra literally starts acting like his mommy gf AS SOON as they meet, which is already completely unrealistic, and Rex honestly comes off as caring about her just because she looks cute. Which goes against his character, he's portrayed as much more considerate than that in Chapter 1, almost in a way that comes off as him not being the kind of person to care all that much about how someone looks.

It reminds me a lot of Peri from Fire Emblem Fates - Peri forces other characters to bend to her will because her character is so awkward to write for and has so little chemistry with other characters, that it forces the writers to make other characters act OoC in order to give Peri some support conversations. It's the same with Rex and Pyra, but they do it exclusively to each other.

In addition, Rex and Pyra aren't portrayed as equals. Pyra is treated as this legendary figurehead, almost like a goddess. Even Rex treats her that way at times. Rex doesn't know how to speak up to Pyra. And there are times where she literally acts like his mother. Like if I didn't know better and you showed me certain scenes between them, I would literally think Pyra is Rex's mom.

(I was gonna show an example here but image uploader is screwed)

In contrast, Rex's relationship with Nia is far more believable. Firstly, because both of them start off as friends. Their relationship as friends is developed before they start developing Nia's romantic feelings for Rex, because that's how relationships are actually formed. Nobody starts off being in love and goes from there.

Secondly, they just have actual chemistry. Rex and Pyra initiate their bond when Rex dies and has to rely on Pyra to revive him. He has no choice in that, completely removing his agency, and Pyra would have become bonded to any other person in that situation (like, what if Nia ran ahead and touched the Aegis crystal instead? Then it would be NiaxPyra we'd be looking at, lol). Rex and Nia initiate their bond through a honest to god conversation. Neither of them fit in with all of the drunken salvagers, so while Rex goes on guard duty, Nia decides to join him because she feels more of a sense of belonging with him than with anyone else on the ship, even Jin and Malos (which is INCREDIBLE foreshadowing). And then they just have a really nice conversation with each other, asking about each other, getting to know each other. And from there they just continue to have a myriad of beautiful little moments together that not only build upon their already established individual characters, but also bring them closer together.

Another great example is how differently Rex treats Pyra keeping secrets to Nia keeping secrets. When Pyra keeps a whole bunch of secrets with few of them having any good reason, Rex constantly defends her with the "leave her alone, she can tell us in her own time" excuse. When Nia keeps ONE secret (her being a Flesh Eater) out of fear that it might make Rex and the others fear and hate her, Rex attempts to scold her for not telling him, literally telling her that it wasn't OK to do that.

Rex is a character who, time and time again, is shown to value honesty, especially amongst friends. But he has to break character for Pyra. He acts consistent to his own ideals when it comes to Nia. And as a general rule, actual couples DO scold each other for keeping secrets. It's just one of the many ways in which Rex and Nia feel way closer to an actual couple than Rex and Pyra.

It took me about a hundred and twenty orbs, but I got an amazing summon.

Sadly the images do not work because SmashBoards is on fire for me, but it was Hardin: Dark Empeor.
And guess what his nature was:
+ATTACK -SPEED!
Thank you so much Intelligent Systems.

I spent nearly 500 orbs since the Voting Gauntlet banner to get a Bold Fighter fodder with no ****ing result.

You get it with about a fourth of that.

Guess the "welcome to gacha games" posts I made when you complain about not getting something you want really works both ways, huh?

Oh. "Welcome to gacha games" is still relevant though.
I am still so happy that I got a Hardin with +Attack -Speed.

Should I give Glimmer or Aether to my Hardin?
( Yes, I have both. )

Glimmer is something I personally recommend on stuff like Blade mages due to how they work. It's a reason why my VaLyntine runs it.

I can see it work on Hardin due to Bold Fighter making it trigger after a single hit, but even at +Atk, his overall attack is overall not really that high with 53 (most armors can rival that without being +Atk) and you don't use either Hone or Goad Armor, iirc, so Glimmer won't be that useful. Besides, the Bold Fighter argument applies to literally any special.

Aether isn't something I really see work well on Hardin. If you keep the default kit, he needs to lose 20% of hs health to be played optimally because of Brazen Def/Res. Making him self-sustainable with Aether, while helpful, kinda feels counterproductive a little in my opinion.

Instead, I recommend you Ignis. Uses his high Def stat, makes him hit like a truck and triggers really quickly with Bold Fighter in play.

The thing is, he is +Attack and his attack stat will most likely be higher than his defense stat.
I gave him Ignis anyways.

His attack stat will obviously be higher because his weapon adds 16 points to it.

But he has 36 defense. That's about 28 damage every time he fires Ignis, which is very often since Bold Fighter has no HP threshold and can be used literally all the damn time. This gets boosted to 34 damage if Brazen Def/Res activates.

Glimmer isn't dependant of the attack stat, but the damage you deal. If you deal no damage, Glimmer won't change a thing. This is why I recommend it on Blade mages, because they have a way to deal damage even when they shouldn't, making Glimmer much more consistent on them.

But I need to ask, who did you kill to give him Ignis?

Got to ask the Fire Emblem wiki guy.
Should I make Ignis Hardin's special? Or Aether / Glimmer?
I sacrificed Henry the red tome user that has to be a four star.

You need to do the maths. Your Hardin will obviously have higher Atk than Def because of his weapon, like most units (except ultra-tank units like Lukas), but that's not the end of the story.

Glimmer triggers based on the damage dealt after calculating the enemy's defences, not the raw Atk stat (that's the Dragon Fang/Draconic Aura set). So Glimmer's results can vary significantly, and can even result in 0 damage against extreme cases like Lukas who can exceed 53 Def.

Ignis, on the other hand, is 80% of the Def stat (36 in Hardin's case, before you add in Brazen Def/Res), which is a minimum 28 extra damage when it triggers, and isn't dependent on any of the enemy's stats.

Personally, I'd actually go for Bonfire over Ignis. With Bonfire, against an enemy who can counter, it's guaranteed to go off on the second hit, resulting in an almost certain kill since it's 18 extra damage added on to whatever you were already doing. Ignis isn't a bad option either, though, since you can just save it for the next round of combat, where it'll trigger on the first hit.

Wow.

This looks great.
I absolutely loved the Three Caballeros and I still do today. That being said, it's going to take a long time to get used to Jose and Panchito's new voices, especially Panchito, just because it sounds like his new VA isn't going to be doing alot of crowing like his old VA could do. But that being said, the characters themselves still look pretty good.
Cause the only thing I felt Heroes was missing was the Summoner's outfit also being destroyed when you lost a battle. Thank you FEH comic.

So I see that you changed your avatar to Summer Altria Ivander Ivander . Nice! I guess you're still feeling quite excited from pulling your most wanted summer unit! I can definitely relate to that!

Oh, all right.
So you recommend Bonfire?
I am going to put this on Reddit. :p

This morning I had 156 orbs. Now I have three.

But that's okay because I also have Minerva now.
