  1. Good: Project Triangle (REALLY expecting a name change somewhere down the line, more so than Octopath, which made more sense in hindsight) Mana/SaGa remakes Pyra and Mythra in Smash Bad: DC Supergirls (really?) Fall Guys (though a great party game, I just don't care for it) The Winner: my wallet (I don't have to spend for much in the coming months!)
  2. *rim shot* Yeah, the French band has an upcoming album in April. Killing time before the Direct by working
  3. "Unity" and "moving on" seem to be the buzzwords among the GOP faithful, as evidenced by David Schoen calling the "streamlined" impeachment process that the House put forth as "pure, raw, misguided partisanship." That is fucking rich coming from the idiots.
  4. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/02/09/trump-impeachment-live-updates/ Republicans not paying attention while the video of the Capitol siege is being played reminds me of the Nuremberg trials where some of the major war criminals were bored when the documentary videos of what happened in the concentration camps were shown.
  5. No, I don't wear glasses. Do you practice your faith/belief system?
  6. Norwegian Bokmål (lit, "book tongue") would be closer to Old Norse, at least closer to it than modern Norwegian (Nynorsk) would be. Both are officially recognized, but you mostly see and hear everyday people relying on Nynorsk than Bokmål for writing and speaking. And yes, it all goes back to the Edda: Þjálfi is one of Thor's servants.
  7. I'd say it's almost correct. Old Norse and modern Norwegian are funny in that the letter j, more often than not, gets silenced (Hjelvik, for instance, gets pronounced as if the "j" isn't there).
  8. I welcome Gatekeeper as a literal blank slate that IS can work off of. The turn of events is contentious for some, but I don't find anything incidental to a noisy dispute. Loved that vignette, too @Mercakete
  9. I got Dheginsea. Slick Fighter/Sturdy Stance fodder, no complaints.
  10. Not the Emperor I had in mind, but would do in a pinch.
  11. you mean THIS Emperor? Seriously, I hand it to the guy for creativity, but not so much for wearing his musical influences on his sleeve.
  12. I'd say that the Cradle of Filth influence is pretty heavy. In times that I don't hear it, I hear Gothenburg death metal riffs (At the Gates, Haunted, etc), which are okay in their place, but the experience is a bit jarring. Vocals are a bit low in the mix too, which does your female vox a disservice.
  13. C'mon. you know you want to say it. There's also irradiated. Of all the words I hate though, nothing gets me all worked up as preventative. It's preventive, you healthcare idiots!
  14. Let's come back to this when the word homeless is eradicated from the lexicon. "To me, fuck is not a word. It's a comma." --Lewis Black In the proper context, cuss words are appropriate and are even expected from anyone. What are you going to say when you drop a pot of freshly cooked spaghetti on the floor, "oh, fiddlesticks?" "Mother of Pearl?" I hate it when the prefix "pre-" overused. Preheated, prerecorded, preboarded? Pre-tty please, can the preparation for the preparation.
  15. I can write cursive decently, but still can't draw worth a fuck.
  16. Uh, I suppose you mean VIII... @Dayni: Those are the ones I remember finishing and liking a lot. I and II - played and forgotten III and IV - not played VIII - played, and hate with a passion IX, X, X-2, XI, XIII and onward - not played
  17. My palate is all over the place. While I'm fond of Xenoblade and selected FF games (5, 6, 7 and 12), I haven't given other ones a try (any Trails game besides CSIII, any Atelier game, and any Neptunia game save for Megadimension Neptunia VII). Right now, I've yet to finish Astral Chain (not a JRPG, yeah) even.
  18. it appears to be available on the US eShop right now (EU release would be the 29th per Nintendo Life). Then again, I don't get paid until two days from now, so not getting it...yet. Story- and gameplay-wise, would an Atelier neophyte like me be missing a lot by getting part 2 ahead of 1?
  19. Oh yeah, it'll be out there a few days after its US release date (which I just found out that it's today lmao). Looks like I have to stall getting BDII and go for Ryza 2 for now haha.
  20. Graphic novels and light novels count. So do cookbooks. Bored out of my wits after finishing an SPRG on the Switch that isn't Fire Emblem (Mercenaries Wings), so fired up another one (Disgaea 5). This will keep me interested until Bravely Default II hits (maybe).
  21. I can't put it any more succinctly than you did. Cheers 🥂 Trouble is, taking a walk on this responsibility has been repeatedly done, and we're seeing (and in some cases, feeling) the effects of these sins of omission that are just as bad as the acts that perpetuate racial inequality (sins of commission).
  22. Whoever gleans that quote from the exchange we are currently having will be so incredibly dense, s/he'll be laughed all the way out of this thread. Decades of propaganda have been perceptively baked into history books and proliferated by not-very-circumspect lessons, and we are, in our lifetimes, seeing the effect of such a lackadaisical approach to history: people believing that slavery went away after the Civil War, and African-Americans getting treated better after Martin Luther King declared that "he had a dream."
  23. The mere suggestion that the American Revolution shares a common point with the insurrection of the Confederacy, or worse, the riot on Capitol Hill, is a very disingenuous and abhorrent one. Pretty much only ardent monarchists would hold that position, and you bringing that up is not just silly, but downright disingenuous, if the only purpose is to put your point across. The statues need to go (to hell, one hopes). No form of healing can reasonably take place as long as these pantheons to hate, humbug, and hypocrisy stand.
  24. When you have Robert E. Lee himself say this in response to the idea of Confederate memorials and statues, you know your position is effectively shot in the foot: "I think it wiser not to keep open the sores of war but to follow the examples of those nations who endeavored to obliterate thrks of civil strife, to commit to oblivion the feelings engendered." We effectively have nothing to discuss at that point.
  25. Gerald Ford at least made an impact: a physical one, when he fell onto the tarmac from the steps of his plane. Anyway, just injecting a little humor into things (besides, Ford was a Republican).
