    Well if that's the starting point, why not have female units tied to sons and male units tied to daughters like is typical of avatars?

    From a game play point thats fine

    But,

    Then you'd have to account for siblings and cousins, and that's just going to be more and more writing I feel that the writer's will get tired and half-ass it

    Like I said, I think child units in Fates took away from the core game. I think the relationships of the current and present cast could be explored more than having every male character have a C-S support for every female character and vise versa

    For simplicity sake I think they should be tied to 1 gender in it's respective game so it's not too overwhelming in design and for the players

    edit: I play a lot more tabletop games and am working on one, complexity creep is a thing and can make games hard to design and play

  2. I'm going to throw this out first

    Child units were a waste of resources in Fates, and that should have been put into the main game and same sex supports. (like seriously, so many supports were so just boring so you could get child units(

    Rant over

    Considering that we exist in a patriarchal social environment that mother/son relationships aren't explored as much in media from what I've seen and have been exposed of through media. Just because that's something I think is lacking in any media

    So I agree that they should be tied in with their mothers

    (But I don't want to see child units again for a long time, becauseI feel it takes away from the game)

     

  3. Can't say much of the early part of the 00's since I was super young 

    But it was weird, some of my earlier memories of being a kid were about 9/11 and hearing about the Iraq war

    It was kind of cool to watch how technology rapidly changed going from flip phones to smart phones, land lines disappearing, this new thing called Netflix, and how much the internet changed. I remember a viral video on YouTube was 100,000 views and a million if it was big.

    Phones books and phone booths being phased out

    We knew what memes were without knowing what a meme was (I remember in school if someone yelled "HILLSHIRE FARMS" a bunch of us would yell back "Go Meat!")

    The best way I'd sum it up was a rapid change in technology and how the internet changed socialization 

    And the great recession of 08

  4. last time I actually saw cable TV was when I went to my aunt's for Thanksgiving
    sometimes it's on in the background at my fire station, but I don't really watch

    Having all the streaming services is about as expensive as cable, but getting to watch when I want without ads has done in cable TV

    Early 2014 was the last time I actually watched TV, but I think the over abundance of reality TV is what actually pushed people over to Netflix and other services
    like so much of that was just irritating to watch, 
    and so many other shows were just bland and boring

    and I think YouTube played a major hand in that since people could find a niche topic that wasn't on TV and have something they really liked
    they were cheaper to produce and quicker to get out
    why spend your two hours watching an hour of ads and a boring show when you could watch that really specific topic on YT

  5. I think 11/22/63 had a really unique way of doing time travel 

    Where the bigger of a change you try to make in the past, the harder the past tries to fight you. It's doable, but you have to fight the past trying to stop you

    Like moving a cup won't do much, but trying to change a major event will

    But the moral of the story is don't let your parents shop for you and that I need an less expensive  hobby.

    lol, wait till my parents find out how expensive my 40K stuff is

    TBH, from what I've seen the game runs poorly on the 3DS

    It can turn into a slideshow at times from what I've seen
