Do tell, do tell. :eyes:

I remember when I was younger I was obsessed with crayons and "drawing"/scribbling and I actually cried when my mom didn't get me crayons at Staples at one point lol. Good times.

 

[EODM07]

I don't know why. But I kind of want to see art of Zelda doing that one infamous scene from the original Pokemon anime with Brock and those "doughnuts".

But instead either talking about Bans, Side B SDs or anything else Social related.

well on my walmart i found crayons for $0.04 less than a nickle so i was like yeah sure.
The colors were only blue yellow pink and green. I can't realistically color human skin with those colors so i drew and colored a budgie.

if yew gorls have any suggestions for something that can be colored in green blue yellow and pink let me know

Basically starts here and i littered the social with my crayon fueled drawing (I switched to colored pencils yesterday)

There needs to be an "Absolutely Disgusting" version of this.

Anyway, Lucina got to level 40 a couple minutes ago.

Spoiler: FE Heroes

Freaking had to bring her to another map because she was 7 exp off. Enemy Beruka, you died for her sins. Oh, and because Lucina's entire skill set costs way too damn much, I cannot afford Aether, Defiant Speed 3, and Spur Attack 3. I can get Defiant Speed 3 and Spur Attack, but I cannot get Aether at all. Aether is cool, but it has a cooldown of 5 and only does Luna plus Sol versus Astra which does 150% your attack or the AOE attack which... is an AOE attack. Hopefully, Ike can make use of Aether more or have a variation where it takes 4 turns instead of 5. Of the 5* units I've used and own, Lucina's probably the one I care least about. I love Eirika's ability to buff stuff and she's a pretty stable unit unlike glass cannon, everyone in 9-5 wants to kill her Lucina, Effie's amazing, but she's a knight, Eldigan is also awesome, but his reckless style makes me worried sometimes, and Raven is one of my favorite characters, though, him showing up 3 times was not necessary. She is still my only anti-dragon unit, so she is still a valued member of the team. Edit: Forgot about Hawkeye. Eh. He's all right. Hits hard and makes magic look like a joke.

And then the following map where I figured I'd spend the remaining 8 stamina had 2-3 units with Wings of Mercy. Freaking Merric couldn't kill the mounted archer, red knight drops in and murders him, other red knight almost killed Sharena -- didn't want to bring in a flyer because of the archer and 4* Corrin was underleveled; we do not speak of the sin that is called Odin -- because her defense sucks, and then I think another unit had Wings of Mercy just teleported around forming a garrison around the archer. The only unit who didn't pose a problem was Olwen who promptly took a Hawkeye axe to the face as my last act since Sharena dying meant the map was unwinnable. Freaking Wings of Mercy... Hilarious part was that despite being the super buff guy he is, the red knight only took one round to kill Hawkeye while the 5* Raven who is 2 levels below him and has low defense, high resistance took 2. Goes to show that wearing nothing to battle does cost you. Hey, at least you died sexy.

That aside, F!Robin or Tiki will end up being the next level 40 unit. Probably F!Robin since she's level 39 while Tiki's level 38.

As for Bravely Second. I don't know how the incoming Fort-Lune Ba'al levels are calculated so I thought I was fighting a level 18 Ba'al. I think it was level 32 since it had thousands of HP while my party is still under 800 HP. And the one katana you can get in a dungeon, so I'm probably just going to go with Summoner since I can just pick up both summons and katana along the way instead of just katana and being forced to go over the game again for Summoner.

Did anyone manage to get Michalis early? I missed out on the sneak peek event.

Also, apparently if enough people managed to complete the maps on both difficulties or something everyone would get some free stuff. The goal was reached, but I still haven't received anything.

i used amiibo black magic to get sexy unreleased stuff, the prison convict had to sit this one out because he gets 2HKO'd but the armor looks super cool (video contains minor enemy spoilers)

also i just learned that the zelda amiibo gives you the same bow she uses in her final smash and it has 8,000 ****ing range

I started an Awakening Lunatic file last night...
Holy ****ing **** that first stage took me like 10 tries. Chrom, Robin, and Lissa are just ****ing children cowering behind Frederick. How can people do this on Classic omg

[EODM07]

Morning girls. How's everyone doing?

Ended up choosing which one to do for my University Assignment. Which is called "Refreshments". Where I have to try and make a vending machine in a park more appealing. So I got the idea of making it look more natural and environmentally friendly. And even have natural snacks too, such as water, orange juice and apple juice, etc.

So, might as well ask. What would you lot get from a vending machine in a park?

I'd rather have Lorde spit acid on my throat than play Lunatic +

The devs probably wanted people to get to the dlc and grind it out but its still possible to beat lunatic and lunatic+ without using dlc.
If you're going to grind then you can simply just focus all the experience onto frederick and he'll be able to carry you until you can reach the dlc.

If you want to beat it without dlc then you'll have to focus most of the experience into f!robin and make her pair up with chrom to abuse the pair up system.

Lunatic mode isn't really that bad since there isn't any bull**** rng involved like lunatic+ skills.

 

[Burgundy]

I figured the general strategy was to just have Chrom, Lissa, and Robin cower behind Frederick scared for their lives until they find someone weak enough to attack
I think I'm better off with Heroes ;-;

 

[DarkAuraful]

Jfc why is Awakening Lunatic so insane. None of the units can even do anything, like what the hell, I'm only on the second map, what am I supposed to do like damn

Lunatic mode in Awakening was stupid. I had to look up Youtube guides on how to complete the first four chapters and STILL had to pray that Frederick would pull through even though I followed the player. This chapter in particular pissed me off the most out of the first four.

Make sure that if you complete Chapter 4 Lunatic, you have access to the EXP and money grinding stage DLC.

 

[Burgundy]

I wanted to play Lunatic for a challenge
This isn't a challenge, it's just BS
I'll find something else to play

 

[DarkAuraful]

Burgundy
If by something else to play you mean Fire Emblem related, then I would recommend games alongside the likes of Binding Blade (ReDux patched), Blazing Sword, and Fates Conquest.

All three of those are good challenges. Unlike Awakening, if you lose, that's at least because you'll have to think of a better strategy to win. They also have better map + gameplay designs too.

I don't know much about Fates Conquest since I've never actually played it, but a lot of people agree that it's in top 5 of the hardest Fire Emblem games for a good reason alongside Binding Blade. I can tell you for sure that the gameplay and Lunatic mode in Fates is definitely more balanced than Awakening's.

If yew want a challenging FE experience give shadow dragon a try. It has the most varied difficulty curve in any FE game going from super easy to pick Caeda and use Warp Staves or die trying.

Lunatic is more RNG than not. If you don't have +SPD Robin you will probably lose unless you get good level ups. You NEED speed since everything in Lunatic will have kinda-OP Skills+ and high stats. Which normally means really high speed. Fredrick is pretty much the backbone of your armor and is required to lure as Chrom/Robin try to deal with the rest somehow. I managed to beat Lunatic and it was pretty rewarding even with the min/max stuff I did.

You should look at some Lunatic playthrough guides like da gorls suggested. You should only need it until you get access to some other units. You most def need the EXP DLC if you want a realistic way to play without having to reset every time you get just ONE bad level up.

I haven't touched Lunatic mode yet. And I still haven't even finished Awakening. :V

TBH Awakening wasn't that great story wise (it was OK, but not too compelling after a certain point). The characters, call-backs, and min-max variety are what salvaged it. I think the unlimited Supports is what saved the franchise overall, tbh. The characters from other Fire Emblems weren't REALLY bad, it's just we only got to see 10% of them through Story/5 Supports and that didn't make them very memorable besides some really dicey things. Like Prissy and Raven. WTF gorl I know he's hot but that's INCEST pls pick one of the other hot guys instead. Except Erk. Never Erk.

Color Splash was actually a really fun game

I thought it was going to be trash, but it was a fun twist on the Paper Mario formula

It was very well-written, too

 

[EODM07]

So I finished KonoSuba 2.

Spoiler: Overall thoughts

It was a great ride. I genuinely enjoyed it, it was funny and the characters were still hilarious and played well off of each other too.

The only downside I can see people having with the show is the animation. Due to it looking a bit messy and choppy, but that adds to the charm of KonoSuba. Which is a comedy that makes fun of some tropes seen in MMOs and JRPGs.

Music was catchy and enjoyable to listen to. And the VAs did their jobs really well too. Good job! This basically makes me wish for a third season, but I think it'd be best if we did give the novel time to further expand on the story and plot.

Seriously, go watch KonoSuba. It's funny af.

FIVE ZELDAS OUTTA FIVE!

 

[Ffamran]

Yes! She's back! Vanessa is back for The King of Fighters XIV!

Welp, I need this game now. Going to be weird since I don't know who to replace in the team I wanted to play. Whip is interesting too, so there's that. I'm just going to have to learn 9+ characters now. RIP me.

Was going to slip in a squee gif, but I saw this.

This has come close to happening to me so many times with automatic doors. I don't know why, but it does. I don't even walk fast and I've had times where I'd walk slowly and the door would not open until I'm inches away from walking into it. This has happened with the same doors, old and new doors, whatever. Do I just weigh nothing or does the sensor get confused that I even exist?

Also, Sugarbell is an adorable middle name for Tapris.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL. CATCH EVERY KARP YEW SEE. ONE MIGHT BE SHINY. *heavy breathing*

 

[Lil Puddin]

So today was a great day. I spent 20 orbs I was planning to save because I noticed my draw rate for 5 stars was 5.25% after ALL THE FAILURES. Since draw rate increases are tied to specific banners, I figured I'd just give it a go. I was hoping for a 5 star 100% usable Ninian instead of a 50% usable Ninian. WHAT HAPPENS? WELL.

Spoiler

I summoned the other blue dancer/singer gorl. I'm happy, especially because she's a neutral nature so she's actually 100% usable for all intended roles. As opposed to -ATK/+HP Ninian who is only OK for 50% of her intended role(s).

I also saw Beauty and the Beast. It was great, as expected. Unfortunately I had to pay 12.50 to see it in Super HD. The picture was nice and the 4.25 extra wasn't too bad. The sound, however, was 3 times louder than normal. Which was nice for the softer speaking parts, but when there were many overlapping noises (like in the musical numbers) some of the words would get garbled under the sheer loudness of it all. It was totally wonderful regardless. Pls ban Disney for knowing how to make good movies. They can turn cliches into things worth watching and that's a special kinda magic right there, gorls. Some might even call it a bannable kind of magic...

If you gorls didn't see it yet, I'd totally recommend it. LeFou is actually not a total goofy dork and he's clearly a gorl under the tyranny of hot jerk. LeFou can do better. Team LeFou. I can't wait for Beauty and the Beast 2: LeFou's Adventure to the Kingdom of Sass. Oh. Wait. This movie is actually about a small town bookish nerd gorl and a furry falling in love? What? Oops. OOPS. What am I supposed to do with these Team LeFou t-shirts now? In all seriousness, the whole "omg he gay tho" thing was pretty annoying. Though I must admit, it made the whole Gaston/LeFou relationship make sense, even if it was very one sided. Nobody could stand Gaston for long amounts of time, except for hopeless morons with 0 dignity that happened to be in love with him. IE: the thirsty gorls and LeFou.

So reports are flooding in in lieu of the Pogo water day holiday of something more than just increased water-type spawns for the week,

Now we wait for hopefully Rock Howard.

Hey, they're stylish, okay?

Vanessa's also wearing open-toe shoes for some reason. Weird off-duty outfit. She's the most redesigned in terms of appearance which isn't saying much since it's just a different pair of pants and shoes. Whip and Yamazaki look the same. Speaking of which, gameplay footage of Whip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sy8WtJE9RE4. She still has her little sway idle animation.

As for the other character, people are guessing it's Shingo because of the silhouettes are similar to these poses.

People said that Yamazaki was a dead giveaway since nobody else has a hunched over pose like that and is that muscular. I think Whip was also a giveaway since her kneel is distinctive. The others people had to guess like they couldn't tell if Vanessa was wearing a coat or not which would mean it could have been Blue Mary since she has a coat, but B. Jenet is also an option if she was wearing a coat or scarf. And then there's the other pair of legs in the middle of everything.

Spoiler

Are those... pieces of bread? Also, if you don't want Ninian, then I'd be happy to welcome her to my army. Please, my blue units need friends. ;_;

Well, I chose Summoner since I wanted a powerful mage option. Swordmaster would be nice, but I have Charioteer, Fencer, kind of Freelancer, and Thief as physical options while magical is basically wizard.

Spoiler: Bravely Second spoilers

I agree with both Kamiizumi and Mephilia, but Kamiizumi's idea was presented better... until he showed up unexpectedly if you choose to side with Mephilia. It's weird since I'd figure he'd be more tolerant and accepting of his student in trying to make his way in the world. Yes, Gho abandoned his job without a notice -- kind of Mephilia's fault there --, but having him just be like, "YOU IGNORANT FOOL!", was off-putting. I don't know what he was like in the previous game, but it's conflicting how he's a kind advisor and a stern, "you have to do this my way or else" guy. Part of me feels like he was shoehorned in because if he didn't appear then this sidequest would be get the Summoner asterisk or don't get the Summoner asterisk. They could have made it so that if you chose Mephilia's side, you would just return or find Kamiizumi and tell him how Gho is doing and he could reward you (after a duel of course) with the Swordmaster asterisk as thanks for looking out for his student, but nope. Instead, he shows up all angry and having revealed himself to have been there for the entire conversation and that Edea is an idiot for siding with Mephilia and telling Gho to follow his dreams.

Hopefully, this doesn't continue to be pick a side, other side throws a hissy fit, and you fight. At least the ending was good and Gho found a way to combine summoning magic with wind energy to power Ancheim, but geez...

The battle against Mephila wasn't that difficult. Well, it wouldn't have been if I wasn't trying to steal everything and Yew kept failing and dying. Oh, and apparently, her own minions, the Legion mages, are masochists. Weird tidbit of information to know about.

Random things: I really like Magnolia's idle animation where she sways back and forth. I don't know why, but it's cute and makes me think she's spacey. Adds to the dorky charm, I guess. Also, Edea wanting to eat everything is hilarious. I think she got high -- it's implied she got paralyzed -- by eating the petals of the Alraune. That and her comments about the Gargoyles are funny. Smash everything! Ask questions later!

Edit: Checked stuff on FE Heroes.

Spoiler: FE Heroes

Apparently Azura is a 5*-only summon and Peri and Tharja are 4* to 5*-only. Explains why I never saw them during my re-rolls. Pretty sure I never summoned an Azura before or a Peri. I did summon a Tharja once. I think... I don't remember. Meanwhile, Henry who shows up as a 3* to 4*. I'VE SEEN HIS GRIN MULTIPLE TIMES DURING MY RE-ROLLS! I'VE YET TO SEE HIM AGAIN!

And with Inherit Skill, Bartre, Cherche, and Frederick with Brave Axe+ look frightening since their attack is so damn high and in Bartre's case, his speed is pretty good too.

Oh, and someone screwed with Odin's stats on the gamepress site to give him 22 attack. All hail Odin, the worst unit in the game. Quick Edit: Actually, I think they're switching to base stats only which would make sense as Blarraven+ has a MT of 13 and would give him his crappy 35 attack. Not all units have been updated, so it's a bit weird. And this is why I like the FE Heroes wiki, but that doesn't have comments to read and laugh or get angry at.

Speaking of bad units or lower-ranking unit, I think Oboro dropped from 7.5 to 7 on that site. I have no idea if it's user rating or what -- maybe there should be a Zelda social intervention... Anyway, Subaki's down there too. Hilariously enough, Subaki was considered one of the best characters to use for the Ursula map and Michalis map. On Serenes Forest, it was mentioned that a dude used a 3*, probably maxed out Subaki as part of his strategy for Michalis. Maybe Subaki's just really good for singleplayer or a good unit who's lacking some things like a special. I feel like he's in the same boat as Selena which makes sense considering who they're based on or coming from: Cordelia. Ironically, though, Cordelia's more of a glass cannon than a jack of all trades in this game. Problem with being well-rounded is that not all stats can be high, especially attack.

I think given my issues with having good and varied blue unit, I might want to give Subaki Bonfire from a Tiki. It would be a better option than improving Selena since I don't have a lot of powerful blue units to begin with. What also helps is that Subaki's low skill set cost netted him a lot of excess SP. Subaki's natural defense is high and I think I got one of the better stat variations for Subaki: high attack and low resistance, which is ironically also the better stat variation for Selena. Killer Lance would be great, but losing Sapphire Lance's +20% against red units might not be worth it. I'd have to get Triangle Adept or something. Armored Blow, Killer Lance, and Bonfire/Ignis... Yesh... 4* Subaki! You have redeemed any and all Subaki I've summoned and complained about! Still wished you had your Fates voice which was not as nasally as in Heroes.

Another unit that could make use of Bonfire or Ignis which I don't think I can get unless I murder my only F!Robin, is Beruka. Killer Axe would make Bonfire a 2 cooldown special and Ignis a 3 cooldown and Beruka's defense is obscenely high. Armored Blow or Defiant Defense would make it even more powerful. The only problem is that she's slow and the high speed one I have has low attack which lowers her attack down to 36 as a 5*. Disgusting. High HP and low resistance one is the good one, but I don't really want to experiment on a green unit considering how many other good green units I have.

Also ye, I still think the asterisk missions do make sense even if the characters change a bit. They still remain true to their core, like Holly being a total pushy tsundere. But I just wish they didn't make a character go from "Once-Bad-Guy Lite" to "Once-Bag-Guy Return Of Jaffar"~

I liked Magnolia the best out of all the characters introduced. Yew was kind of cute too. The Dork Duo = yay. I'm kind of sad Agnes doesn't join the crew because she was the original sheltered dork and was cute. Though she's the pope so it made sense for her to be too busy to join. She was my favorite from the original, but I have to say Magnolia is easily on the same level as Agnes. (They both add comedy by just being themselves)

But the 6 playable characters of the Bravely world are top tier in terms of characterization. A little quirky, a little funny, a little relatable. Enough to make them interesting without making characters go out of the way to provide entertainment. It kind of just happens naturally. Or is a "slice of life" without being too stupid (IE: anything that's not Lucky Star).

I must say that Tales of Berseria also has a very wonderful cast of characters too. Velvet and Eleanor were so wonderfully written as characters. They start off tropey bcuz RPG. But they turn into relatable people halfway through. When **** hits the fan and Velvet has her mental break that's when most people probably screamed "BEST GIRL 10/10 OMFG!" Even if you hated her you'd be like "hot damn gorl. wut u doin. I actually hate you less somehow and it's not even from pure pity. wtf gorl?" Eleanor was well written because her transition was natural and believable. Magilou is just the best waifu, not necessarily realistic or ground breaking, but she's the best waifu anyway.

But she's not a Jill sandwich. Corrin sandwich... Corn sandwich... Cool, that is a thing and now I'm hungry. Corn, capsicum, and I think paneer.

Eh, I don't know, with the side quests so far, the Jackal is the only one I've liked the most and feel really sorry that I had to go against him because I really wanted the Thief asterisk. Did not like DeRosa from the start even though he's turned a new leaf and is genuinely trying to help people even at their risk and suffering, Mephilia's intent is good, but she's really forceful, and Kamiizumi went from being a cool guy to he's kind of cool except for when he's being forceful. I don't know much about them in the previous game, but I see them like pretty much other characters and people in wars: they're just people and they can be as annoying or as awesome as other people. Problem is that most of them are war criminals or a little unhinged because of the war or their upbringing.

Edea's leading for my favorite character. Part of it is I find her hilarious and we have one thing in common: we like eating stuff and trying food from different places. Following is, of course, Magnolia because she's so dorky and adorable. She's like an awkward older sister. Yew is all right, but I think the reason I don't like him as much is because I thought the game would start with Magnolia and then jump to Yew's perspective and somehow they'd meet. I blame this on remembering news about the game way back wrong. He's still a fun dork, though. Tiz being an everyday man is all right. He's like Nathan Drake in that case. Him getting dropped kicked by Edea was funny. From what little snippets of Ringabel I've seen, I like him, but that's not enough. I wished Agnès was playable, but it would be a bit weird to have a fifth character you'd have to switch in and out. She'd have to compete with Magnolia and Yew since she's more magically inclined. Still, the little woman in the crystal is a hopeless dork. The entire crew are just dorks and that's what's great about them.

As for the empire asterisks, I like Bella since she's a dork. She's like Tharja if Tharja wasn't a yandere, but a weird ventriloquist instead. Cu just rode on how hammy he is which isn't much and got annoying with HOW HE YELLS ALL THE TIME. He also calls Anne as Anna. Minette is just weird... I'm just a creepy little child who loves and acts like cats while I murder people.
