Recent Trends in Media That You're Tired of Seeing
AnonymousSpeed replied to vanguard333's topic in Entertainment
I'm not sure where you're getting the idea for either of those questions, neither lent nor I have implied that you're completely wrong or that more popular media is better (either necessarily or probably). What we are saying is that, if we watch cape-crap, it's our own fault. The most reasonable alternative would be to read and watch things you expect to actually be good. -
Skull Kid will crash the Moon in Akaneia in 3 days...
AnonymousSpeed replied to Polinym's topic in Far from the Forest...
Aw sweat sweet, CYOA time. Black Knight's armor doesn't scare me. I figure the Lightsphere can be used to ignore that- so the first step is to petition Marth for aid (i.e. gimme lightsphere). -
Recent Trends in Media That You're Tired of Seeing
AnonymousSpeed replied to vanguard333's topic in Entertainment
Why not both? Spread propaganda for the truth! What's the alternative? Propagandize lies about myrmidon supremacy? Yeah, I agree on that. It's mostly an FE trend as far as I'm aware (I'm not aware of a lot of pop culture happenings), but I dislike it a lot. It makes the cast feel much more homogeneous and less rag-tag. It's a convenient way to not have to recruit characters since they all join with the lordlets, but I enjoyed the way you built your army by actually satisfying recruitment conditions. Some people inherit a farm. Some people inherit a position of authority over others. Ike gains the latter, as Jotari points out. People still inherit things today. If we're going with the "he's a commoner" (read: poor everyman) because he lacks a noble title, we're going with the idea that most people who inherit fortunes are in fact poor everymen. Nobility exists as much as poverty or the IRS exist. Lacking physical units doesn't make something nonexistent. Regardless of what the story says or how it tries to frame it, the substance simply isn't there. Ike is a "common man" on a strictly superficial level. Multiverse stories could be cool if they were Westerns. Just as a man could wander into town and ride into the sunset, so too could the multiversal traveler. Sol is a good skil! I'm confused, these two positions seem absolutely at odds. How can these things be readily available to us and yet we are still at the mercy of a system? We have the means to ingest the best books of Victorian England and we choose not to. While I don't know your steam library, I also feel that a lot of indie games are part of the "mainstream" of video game culture. They are "indie" in funding and production but not really spread. I'm including the second paragraph because I agree (broadly) with this interpretation of Jotari's statement (with respect to him despite this, of course). -

Minor character unappreciation thread

Iunno. I hate to derail the thread (natural occurrence) but I feel like hanging around, while inferior to being there for your kid, indicates a conscience which isn't totally seared. -
Bad GBAFE Maps - Gameplay/Pacing

His resistance isn't that high, so he probably doesn't do that great against the magic eyes. -

>when the internet cannot handle that men are hornier than women Excellent post, 100/10, very cool and good. I fully endorse this condemnation of faux depth and shallow audience manipulation. Narcian once again is the most strong, smart, and beautiful. -

Posting. Oh wait, this is "Media" not "Social Media" please do not make that thread- Dying forum cope. There was a joke about this on Excelblem FE9 chapter 17 video already. Dang, does @Shadow Mir even post anymore? Axe fighters are good. I am tired of them being ignored in media, and this trend must stop. -
Minor Character Appreciation Thread
AnonymousSpeed replied to Eltosian Kadath's topic in General Fire Emblem
Replies. As mentioned in the replies, my pick is Ilios. I think his delusions of grandeur while lacking any of the talents to merit it make for a fun character, nothing overly deep but endearing to me. He's also genuinely obscure compared to a lot of other characters, but I guess I've have to change my pick if he gets into Heroes. Kinda shocked Batta hasn't. The Sable Knights are very stylish, and I think Belf has my favorite drip out of them all. I'm also a big supporter of Samuel/Samto/whatever he's called now, the original impersonator. I think the guy just oozes personality even at a conceptual level. Caesar, honestly? He just looks cool, and I like to imagine him and Radd are bros despite having very little affection for Radd. Behold what I found on the internet: When do we get the "Coulter is Xane" theory video? If they remake FE4 and FE5, should he have a third and fourth unique design to go with those games? -
A quick update on this. The World of Weal thing is still underway, but picking a holiday weekend as the one to work on it shockingly didn't work out very well. I got hung up on the marching mechanics of all things, but I think I know how I want to do those now.

Arvis is love, Arvis is life. His fatal flaw is talking to women. If he was a real gamer and didn't talk to women, everything would have been fine. I might check this out later, thank you. I can't help out with Twine, though. -
So, you might be interested in a bit of un-ruined worlding? Excellent, I'm glad to hear it. I'll give it a little more time to see if anyone else expresses interest. If not and Acacia is still interested, I'll go with the Weal mini-campaign.

I'm pretty sure all Gaiden spells have fixed accuracy, so that would have to be the case.

So why did you choose your username and profile picture?

Why did you pick this spelling and not the other one? -
Is there a place where FE roleplays are still thriving?
AnonymousSpeed replied to KingStaragna's topic in General OOC
Proposals are up. -
Inspired by this discussion, I've dusted off some of my old ideas and would like to see what you, the people, might be interested in playing. These are both inspired by campaigns I've previously attempted to run on this site, but are very different from their originals. Pinging @Rapier, who initially asked about this, as well as @Acacia Sgt since I figure he might also be interested. Tell your friends if you think they'd like it. Treasure 2: The free-form campaign where you embark on a journey to claim ancient riches and avoid strangling your cohorts over politics The Un-Ruined World: The one-shot using an experimental dice-pool system, set in World of Weal before its ruining. So yeah, those are the two main options. I have a few other things lying around; if you're looking for something in particular, let me know and I'll see if what I've got for you. However, these are the main FE-related things which I've been wanting to run lately. Additional questions on either proposal are invited.

I'll take a peak at Savage Worlds, but as for the more immediate future, I'll see if I can get some interest check threads up in the next couple of days. If both are fine, might as well see what has more general support. -
Ideas for a calander system in a Genealogy remake
AnonymousSpeed replied to Jotari's topic in General Fire Emblem
This is a very common Protestant position. There's also Hercules, who (and Asclepius may also have some of these traits) bears divine blood, engages on great quests, and ascends to the sort of deityhood where where he had several cults across the Mediterranean. He wasn't merely a figure immortalized in mythic narrative, but actually apotheosized, revered and worshiped as other gods were- similar to how the Crusaders seem based on Jotari's postings. -

AnonymousSpeed replied to KingStaragna's topic in General OOC
hahahahahahahahah wow. I really let myself down here. You know, despite the above, I have a test scenario that's close enough to complete that I could probably hash out a few prefabs and get going. There's also the opportunity to do something free-form instead of experimenting with the system I've been working on, which I think would work just as well and is the historically precedent means of doing things here (if you're outside the established roleplaying circle). -
I don't know, though. Durandal's legendary status is that you need an S-rank weapon of each type, while the Binding Blade has real plot-relevance and an in-universe history of being used to spare the evil dragon both with Roy and Hartmut.
