Watching idiots online crash out about Pokemon Go shiny Mewtwo is hilarious. Mewtwo is a trash restricted Pokemon and anybody who has even looked at a Pokemon game has at least two by now anyway.

Hiya Toys opened preorderrs for Ultimate Armor X. I don't dislike it but maybe I'll buy it when it comes out in 2030 or whenever. They have a lot more stuff on their plate and I'll wait on Threezero to reveal their own. THe purple limbs seem really drab and desaturated compared to the old model kits and 2D sprites

I read the Fandom articles on Devil May Cry 5 bosses since the game explains nothing, I haven't played in years, the Switch version reminded me of its existence and I'm not tracking down an 8-year old manga or novel or whatever.

why are there mocap actors for the cerberus and the bird

Man, the SNES era armors really were kind of eyesores, weren't they?

They finally had the graphical power to do more than just pallet swaps. They refused to use this power responsibly.

Yeah. X had it somewhat but especially X2 had random colors strewn all over the place. X3's designs toned the colors down mostly aside from the armor. I think a little less blue, losing the thick panel lines on the chest parts, removing the black on the feet and using a deeper yellow/gold would improve the look greatly.

Quote from a stream I recently watched: "Why would I bother spending resources when I can just slam my face into it until I brute-force the thing?"

A Sega popup event is currently at a nearby mall. I’m surprised there’s actually a Yakuza/LAD section. Nobody’s there and it’s kinda lame but hey, it’s there. got some Gindaco in the spirit of the occassion

Got the new Fire Emblem. God, I hate the stupid crappy dungeon segments but everything else is top notch.

I do not agree with having literal guns in this franchise though. I don't care how anime this setting is: once you have semi-automatic firearms, there's no reason for swords and spears anymore.

More stream-watching: "Same mana pool for healing and other spells? Why would I EVER do anything but heal?" *proceeds to walk around with a full mana pool and half health*

More thoughts from a let's-play watcher: never underestimate the ability of a player to jump directly into large, extremely visible, highly-telegraphed attacks.

In FFXIV, it's practically a rite of passage for dragoons, red mages, and reapers to use their get-out-of-melee-quick buttons and leap into a lethal hazard or off the edge of the platform at least once in their careers. Especially back in the days where falling off the platform would leave your corpse down in the void where you couldn't be raised to rejoin the fight.

This is also why I apologize to Gauss a lot in Warframe. :p

Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave is great, but they give waaay too much time between story missions that I get bored of fighting wild pigs and bandit goons. I just auto-train the rest of the time away once I finish the sidequests.

Yet more thoughts from a let's-play watcher: also never underestimate the determination of a player to do literally anything other than progress story.

I finished Chapeter 1 of Cai's route in Fortune's Weave. What do you mean there's a chapter 2? What do you mean there's three other stories? Jesus Christ this game is overstuffed with busywork and crap.
