Hi! I hope you have a good time here! DesMuMe and Dolphin are the emulators you'll probably want for DS and GCN/Wii games respectively. If you want to play New Mystery (the DS remake of the second half of Marth's story) you'll need a translation patch which you can find here: https://wiki.serenesforest.net/index.php/Heroes_of_Light_and_Shadow_Translation Good luck!

Cheers, friend! Have an awesome birthday and enjoy that creme cake!! It looks amazing.

Lol, my dad is humble guy. Euchre is more his speed. I think Knights and Cities looks awesome too and I definitely want to try it also! It's nice to hear someone say that! I also like the more straightforward ones and the map design in Mystery of the Emblem, especially in book 2, is really interesting. It does a pretty good job with story-gameplay integration as well. Honestly, I even find FE1 pretty playable. I like Kaga's original philosophy on Fire Emblem which was basically that the story emerges from the characters you choose to use and the moments you have with them, and that's the roleplay aspect.

The only expansion we have is the Explorers and Pirates one, but I think it's a lot of fun. My dad thinks there are too many rules though so I've mostly just been playing that version with my mom and sister. It's definitely not for everyone, but you get to build ships and explore islands and fight pirates so if that's your cup of tea, then yes, I recommend it. My friend is playing FE7. I figured that would be a good one to start with since it's a pretty straightforward and there's LOTS of tutorial (plus those GBA combat animations rock). It's cool that you're playing Mystery of the Emblem! I feel like not a lot of people play that one, but it's pretty fun. Have you played it before?

That's amazing. I too have played an excessive amount of Catan. My family has the Explorers and Pirates expansion and it's so fun. Who have you been playing with? Other than Catan, I've been finishing my last semester of school and working remotely, and trying to get together with people over Skype and Zoom. On Monday I had a small party over Discord with a few friends to celebrate the 30th anniversary and one of my friends (who doesn't even play Fire Emblem) actually got Discord to be there, so that was really sweet. We watched the OVA and then helped my friend who is almost finished with her first Fire Emblem game get through a chapter. It was super fun, and I actually got to hang out with some people who are already too far away to see in person, so that was neat.

36,747 Guys this is the year. I know it's taken ten years and we're not even 1/20th of the way there, but the circumstances have changed. If we all pull together during these trying times, I know we can count to 802,701 in 2020. Let's make it happen!! This is the year of the 30th anniversary people, THIS IS THE YEAR OF FIRE EMBLEM!!

I think you've explained it very well! The only thing I would add is this: I can see how for some people it would seem uninteresting or like there's no character development possible when the protagonist can just beat everything, but I think that's totally not the point of the show. The show is about heroism. You see Saitama and he beats all the bad guys, so okay, he's the hero I guess? But he doesn't really care about what he's doing and you kind of wonder, is he a hero? But then he shows that he does care about people and has a sense of justice, and through becoming a mentor to Genos, he grows. As it goes on, you run into all those A and S class heroes who are jackasses, for whom "heroism" is a day job. They're in it for the limelight, and yet they still regularly do beat all the monsters. Heroes? No, I don't think so. Then there's Mumen Rider, C class hero who can't do much of anything, but as you said, that fight with the Deep Sea King demonstrates that he has the heart of hero. He has to try. He's willing to sacrifice himself. And right around that time is also when Saitama demonstrates that he is a hero. It has nothing to do with him defeating the Deep-Sea King or with his physical prowess at all. It's that when people are mocking the heroes that fought and failed, he's willing to make himself the bad guy. Up to that point, it feels like he too is in it for the glory or the respect, and clearly a good reputation is something he wants, but he throws it away completely in that moment so that the people who he thinks deserve recognition more than he does can get it. He takes up the mantle of a fraud for the sake of people he doesn't even really know, and that is heroic, because it's also self-sacrifice. I haven't seen season 2 but I've read some of the manga and I really like how the story continues to evolve and the characters continue to grow. It's a cool show and I'm glad you also enjoy it 🙂

I loved the The Promised Neverland when I watched it but then I switched to the manga and the most recent stuff has been disappointing. Anyway, you didn't list Cowboy Bebop but I'm assuming you've probably at least heard of that. I'm putting it here on the off chance that you haven't though. Kaguya-sama: Love is War is really adorable and you said you like romance/comedy, so this might be for you. It's a high school show about two brilliant students who are clearly in love devising ways to get the other person to confess their love first. It's really really funny but it is recent. Death Note. On that note, if you haven't seen Death Note, have a look at that. It's not comedy or action, it's a detective show set in modern Japan, but it's a classic. Someone said One-Punch Man already but I just want to concur. It's a fantastic parody of shonen and of super-heroes in general, but has a really strong thematic foundation, animation that will knock you out, and it's hilarious. Mob Psycho is by the same creator as One-Punch Man, but it's set in middle-school. The art style is off-putting to some people (myself the first time I watched it) but I really loved it once I sat down and watched the whole thing. I'm also going to say Space Battleship Yamato 2199. Personally I've never been a big fan of space shows, but this one is an exception. It's among my personal favorites. It has the honor of being a remake of what is basically the first real space anime (the original aired in the 70s) so it feels very classic. Fair warning though: the pacing is a little off and it starts out really slow. You have to get through about 10 episodes or so before it takes off, BUT once it hits the ground it's fantastic for the rest of the show.
