Y’all camp at y’all’s parks? Holy shit this is the most southern thing I’ve ever posted here. I’ve become that one girl from Ace Attorney…

Sounds very promising. Washington came first, but yes that’s what happens when you have a parent in the military. I’ve heard of worse from that actually. But that’s what happened for Washington to Alaska, the second move… I don’t remember what that was about. Well I was really young so I don’t remember much let’s see, it was cold, snowy, cold, harsh, cold… No but seriously, I only went to preschool there but instead of having snow days, which everyone was prepared for I guess, we had rain days when it rained too much and it froze to the ground. I also saw a moose in our own front yard, no more than ten feet away from me (from behind the window), eating leaves off of one of the trees, which absolutely blew my little mind. That might just be my earliest memory. That’s all I could really say about it. But I have always kinda hated or at least disliked being in cold weather for as long as I can remember, maybe there’s a connection there. Who knows. Huh, how come it looks like people are camping out there?

I mean yeah, it is just a video game and you only exist over the internet. For all I know, you’re not even real! That does sound better, actually. Does a moose count?

What? I’m fine, I just had literally nothing to add to the overall thread. Unless you meant that I hadn’t played more Covenant of the Plume which yeah, school sort of happened and I fell into another “eh I don’t feel like video games atm” mood. I’ll probably continue soonish. How so? I never played whatever game had the frog thing, what’s special about it? Not even remotely proportionately, Washington was a few months (I was born there), Alaska was a few years, and the entire rest has been good ol’ Virginia. Is it as easy to visit countries in the EU as it is to go to other states in the US? Do you need a passport or anything? (A lot of people in the US don’t have one)

Nothing to report Idk, I kinda liked it. The wonder flowers were not explored at all and I thought they looked like they could be amazing, the badges seem really hard to implement well but are a new mechanic, the online stuff… seemed highly distracting but it could maybe be good? although idk why they’re not letting us just do full online multiplayer. The powerups are cool. The direct didn’t feel necessary but it made me more hyped, although I rarely find myself wanting to play 2D Mario.

Noooo it’s just that I read their names like twice and only vaguely remember the phonetic structure, not that, anything but that Sometimes unfortunate moments do happen tho. I thought Lockwell was cool but… Anyway lucky you. I do only hope I can avoid sacrificing my 3 favorite characters.

But the cutscenes are like 2 minutes long. No, Hugo but fancy, the one who you picked that path for.

They both end with alia so I was onto something here. So did you sacrifice the blonde dude or not? Lol, I need to get better with these names. Well then again, I was actually getting gameovers on this map so I guess it counts. Did a realmwalker show up?

The next battle of chapter 2 done. Keeping Dalia alive is insanely hard, but luckily dash is an insanely good skill (which I proceeded to buy for everyone after the battle). This map is pretty much screaming at you to use heal on her while you make your way up but uh… uh… yeah I so almost had to plume Cheripha. Almost. But through clever use of dash, another tactic I forgot the name of, and the fact that revival items spawn characters right next to whoever revived them I was able to save her just in time and nuke Horague or whatever his name is from existence (rip Horague btw). With the time pressure alleviated early, I was able to easily maneuver myself to get a ton of sun while also experimenting with what actually makes the red gems drops. Cause somehow I’m sometimes getting a combo between Cheripha and Earnest that drops them but usually not and knocking people out of the sky with Wyl isn’t working. Perfection. That’s who I’m asking. DeSmuME. Incidentally I’m curious, when you played this the first time did you make yourself use the plume whenever you made a mistake or if you realized whatever you did was completely avoidable did you reset?

They have my address on file from when I was like 10. Well that explains why I don’t remember, although I’m really curious what the hell I or someone else in the family was doing then. I’ll ask.

Rip Lockswell And no, Natalia left! But her sprite is pretty! I hope I’m able to get her back.

>Plumed Lockswell doesn’t seem to do that much more damage… >Almost oneshots realmstalker Well lmao. The real question is whether to sacrifice him or Cheripha, but I’m having a lot of trouble using him correctly (meanwhile Cheripha is not that good but pretty easy to figure out). Rip lol “healthy”

And I check the goal… how? Wyl I did but I assumed it was whacking enemies with his stick for two damage and really magic is his only means of contributing like other games.

Welp, got my first game over (I had literally no one to plume again). Is the consequence of not getting enough sin this realmstalker guy? Do I have to kill him to win? He seems impossible to beat, but avoiding him might be doable. Even with the plume, the only plumeable guys I have are this archer and this mage, neither of whom are that strong. But maybe I’m underestimating how much the plume helps? Anyway, mages in this game seem pretty bad. Or at least the one mage who I have right now. Everyone else can do combos and as such quite a bit of damage but this dude needs to use over half his AP for one attack that doesn’t do that much damage. Considering my age I really don’t think I did it and forgot about it which is the problem. True, they probably mixed me up with someone else. You haven’t done all three routes? Oh no. Oh, thanks. This helped me get some sin before getting my ass handed to me. No, I’m on the second fight. Maybe I’ll look into it.

Oh and the tavern lore is completely skippable right? I don’t wanna do homework between fights.

>Have you ever applied to a community college or registered for duel enrollment classes before? >No >Something was wrong with your application, please fix this before proceeding >Your records are on file, meaning you have applied to community college before Bro what? No I didn’t, wdym my records are on file Cause they’re not as good? Oh no (I tend to have issues with postgames) Well, I do hope the game gets around to tutorializing that stuff soon. Which is the part where he should’ve booked it: But this is true, forgot about good ol Hel. I just find it funny that they join a guy with no real destination or end goal in mind. Like he could’ve just gone “actually, I was planning to buy a property here and start a family, but thanks for the offer”. I don’t remember anything he says No one except the dude the game makes you, it’s only like my 5th battle. I got the mage dude killed like immediately and thought I’d have to plume Cheripha to make it out, but I actually managed to handle the entire map with two characters. There was an attempt before this where I got Wyl killed like turn 3 but I just immediately reset because I couldn’t plume anymore and there was no way I could do this without someone who could take damage. This isn’t an SRPG series? There go my chances of playing it

if Wait why would it take away?

@Saint Rubenio I started Covenant of the Plume. The gameplay seems like it would be an interesting cross of action and srpg until you realize you just mindlessly press the buttons when combat starts lol. Gameplay has still been fun tho. The over the top dialogue is kinda charming, like I really shouldn’t like it but for some reason I do. I’m one battle in to chapter 2 and so far every chapter has been good. The death scene of that one guy whose name I forgot was pretty good, and Cheripha’s dad actually reconciling with her and joining Wyl is unexpected (he looks like a chapter 1 boss who will die), he reminds Gilbert 3H who I like quite a bit. What doesn’t make sense is why Wyl and Cheripha join forces to begin with, like I know the bounty hunters or assassins or knights or whoever they were think you’re with her but you have no stake in this conflict, just run away bro. And then they decide to join him after the second battle, like literally to go where? You have no idea where this guy is going cause even he doesn’t know but I guess we need party members. The chapter 2 routesplit is weird because you’re basically given no information, all you’re told is there’s a serf rebellion going on in the castle town and that forces to crush them are coming from the keep you started the game at (I think). I rewatched that Part on YouTube cause I didn’t pay that much attention to the exposition since I didn’t think it would lead to a choice, apparently going to the keep sides you with the royalty there and going to the town has you join the serf rebellion. I guess that kinda makes sense if you really think about the exposition and where you can go (for the keep at least, once you’ve realized that’s probably what you do there it just becomes “oh so I guess I join the rebels if I go to the castle town, no idea what the hell is going on with the third place tho”), but this was good for me cause I wanted to join a peasant rebellion and overthrow the corrupt royalty. Having finished that battle, the third place is apparently a foreign government sponsoring the rebellion although it’s not clear what I’d actually do there. But I’m content as long as I get my class rebellion. Miscellaneously, the plume seems as fun as it sounded. Should I ask what happens if I do too many battles without getting enough sin or leave that as a surprise? Cause I’m really bad it, 90% of kills I get are just barely so I get no overkill and less than 10 sin, and then every now and then I wreck a mage or something for over 100. Guess Hel should’ve picked a better dude to make a covenant with. I’m also spending a lot of money between battles but it seems like I’m getting about as much as I’m spending, so right now there’s no money worries. The normal battle theme is pretty catchy.

NICE Yeah that whole plot point. I can see definitely why, but the beginning is just so meh.

So I finished the last case of pw: aa and as such the game itself. The case got super crazily insanely good… eventually. Which is kind of the problem because the beginning was so boring and the end was so good. I have no idea how to feel about it, looking back. Damon Gant is now my favorite murder bro, because unlike the last guy who they painted as an untouchable elite who uses the justice system as he wishes, this is guy is actually it. I mean who else plays boss music when they’re on the stand? And his gentle personality made it hard to predict. It’s also funny that his entire plan was exposed because he made his made the passcode to his safe his detective ID number. Not because that allowed Phoenix and co to get into the safe, but because that allowed them to prove his ID number. Never reuse your numbers guys. But there’s other good stuff. Ema killed that one dude? Great. Lana’s entire motivation and actions in the past? Amazing, although it doesn’t make any sense why she got a defense attorney still. Jake wanting Justice for his brother? Awesome. Edgeworth and Phoenix actively working together still continues to be phenomenal. The game itself was okay. The beginning felt overall pretty slow and not super interesting but there was better stuff towards the end. lucky It’s great that you’ve been in a pretty good mood.

I think I get it. I like my sad epics tho, Banner Saga. Still glad that’s mostly a nonissue now from what it sounds like.

I got so excited when I saw the shine on the nose because I thought it was a nose piercing. Alas. Omori hit close to home to you? Did you grow up with an older sister and a flight of stairs? Pluming my backlog smh

On a scale of visual novel dating sim to Omori, how much depression is there? It sounds exactly like my cup of tea. I’m so close to finishing the first AA I really need to (damn the last case), and then there’s the matter of when I return to totk or play fe10. We’ll see.

What you said about it before (a while back) was enough to get me interested, I just kinda forgot about it. Is it like a big obvious route split ala Fates?
