@Dragoncat I'm surprised its name is not Garfield. :D Before I got my dog I was actually going to get a cat, but hindsight showed me what a disaster it would've been, since it would've vandalized my PC cables as well as pretty much everything else at home. :D My dog is pretty chill when it comes to that. Unless something ends up inside what it considers its territory, that is. Then it'll tear stuff apart without any reserve whatsoever. :D

The obvious one is FE's old rival from the 90s, Shining Force. :D But I voted Final Fantasy since it has many of the elements of FE, the main one being the fact it's also an anthology series, and it also has a TRPG spinoff. It's probably not a good idea to bring Fate characters over since many of them are completely broken (*cough*Gilgamesh*cough*). In Fate the plot takes precedence over stats most of the time so we see many impossible feats and nonsensical turnarounds. Shirou's actual fate in FSN is any of the 40 Bad Ends.

I agree with you, Ana. I have only a vague memory of Chrom's supports with Maribelle and Sully, but I believe they're very inadequate in the sense that you don't expect a relationship to arise from them. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, of course. :) There are quite a few poorly written supports in the game from a romantic perspective but a sizeable chunk of those was written that way for comical effect rather than logic, so they get a pass but it's not something I'd take as inspiration when writing my own.

Having a connection =/= marrying someone and having children with them. But Sully is appropriate as a wife gameplay-wise due to what you said. If it wasn't for Olivia, who's kind of "just there", though...

What exactly does Cordelia "control" in her life? The reason she's perfect is because she doesn't even try, her talent is innate. "Controlling" things is the least of her issues, because her mere wiggle of a finger is already inhumanly perfect. And that's exactly why she's so interesting. People EXPECT a girl like this to be perfectly comfortable with her love life. I mean, she's perfect everywhere else, why not in romance then? But she doesn't care. She searches for the impossible (which is impossible more because of Chrom, who, let's face it, is an absolute jerk), and she ironically and hilariously fails miserably at any attempt to win the heart of the one she loves. The reason why she'll never be able to support with Chrom is that with the others, her falling in love dawns on her out of a sudden, she doesn't actively pursue it, she realizes her attentions swayed from Chrom to the character she had supports with, and she becomes happier because it's best to love someone who actually loves you back than someone who doesn't even see you as a potential candidate (partly because he's a jerk on the level of Ash Ketchum). Seriously, Chrom would pick Sully before Cordelia. SULLY. I laugh to avoid crying, lol.

My reaction to this trailer, quoting Cordelia herself: "OVER ALREADY?" <3 <3 <3

Best form by default then. The Midnight Lycanroc was such a missed opportunity, it's slow as molasses, like 99% of the new Pokés.

The religious motive for the Crusades was that Catholicism is supposed to be universal. If it's universal, it cannot coexist with other religions, or even branches of Christianism. Therefore, all non-believers are infidels and should be either converted or eliminated, as they're heretics.

Dr. Manhattan. Though that one was more of a god than an angel. When giving names you probably need to take the theme of your story into account, because, like, if you're just using angels for the heck of it without any sort of religious reference other than the very figure of the angel, then they don't require biblical names or things like that. I think Metatron is a cool name, just because of Vincent's ramblings in SH3, but try to find a meaningful name for the character in question. Or, pick the name and build the character around it, that works too.

The best decision Koei Tecmo could make, thanks a lot! :D

The media tried almost everything in an attempt to end the Trump candidacy. Almost every dirty trick in the book. Bitter over what they treat as an inexplicable loss, they keep trying anything they can against him. So I would take whatever the media reports on him with a grain of salt. Of course, it greatly helps that Trump himself was elected on the merit of his talents as a celebrity rather than his political skills, as well as the overreaction against overdone social justice movements, but if there's anything inexplicable here, it's not Hillary's loss, it's the media not doing their job properly. There have been some voices in worldwide media exposing this behavior on the media's part, but they're few and far between, unfortunately. Which basically means I'm not pulling anything out of my a** here. This is a pretty bad situation because if you run away from mass media you end up in the dumpster with the likes of Breitbart, so you literally can't trust any form of journalism whatsoever.

Trump may not be skilled at doing business, but he's a master at being a celebrity. That's why he's in the White House now.

The ultimate winner of WW2 were the US. With Europe in ruins, the US consolidated its position as the center of Western culture and wealth. So much that the rebuilding of Western Europe was funded by the Americans, and it wasn't just charity of course, the success of the welfare state in Western Europe was crucial to the victory of capitalism in the late 20th century, it was propaganda more powerful than anything the commies could've come up with. As a bonus, the Europeans became indebted to the Americans. Interestingly, it was all propaganda. When it suited them, the Americans were perfectly fine with non-democratic regimes. Salazar and Franco's dictatorships in Portugal and Spain lasted well beyond WW2. In South America they were very comfortable with Nazi-worshipping military hunting, torturing and executing communists and whoever opposed such regimes all over the continent, much like they were during WW2 while Hitler kept himself to marching towards Eastern Europe. Whatever Russia got in exchange, though significant, was chump change compared to what the Americans got.

That's exactly my point, I trust Linux drivers even less! :D I don't know if you can boot into Debian from a stick, but, if system stability is a problem, Debian might be the better choice, as it's obsessively stable at the cost of its obsolescence.

I do not like children. I've found the children in Awakening to be a waste. The story should've focused on the present-day characters, the others just got in the way.

We require more information than that. Follow this thread: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2039223/whea-uncorrectable-error-bsod-message.html Based on such information I would first try a new PSU and see if it fixes the problem. It's quite likely it will, due to the probable cause of the issue. If it does not, then run Memtest86, you can boot into it from a pendrive. While you're there, do not listen to the guys telling people to roll back Windows updates, of course. Those are the IT equivalent of anti-vaxxers. @LushenIt's linked to hardware failure, so booting into Linux will solve nothing and only consume time.

If the things I hear about Thracia 776's excessive complexity are true, I think the series would remain Japan-only and eventually die off as Nintendo's home consoles lost ground to Sony worldwide. A FE in the N64 wouldn't make any sense because the system was a major failure in Japan, largely because it didn't have enough JRPGs with shiny FMVs (which were the trend at the time), and on the 64DD, even less, as you'd be forcing people to buy an addon for a console they didn't own. There was a better business case for the Sega CD than for the 64DD, and look how that went. In that generation, Shining Force on the Saturn actually got a more grandiose release than FE and was in a better position to be successful as that series had already made the transition to the West back in the Genesis days, but Sega's incompetence ("the Saturn is not our future") meant it was all futile.

Really? Because then I think she could explain her situation to her superior (not the abusive one, but her actual employer) without fear of being fired due to her disability, which IMO would be the best course of action. Using disability as a crutch is largely different from standing up for your rights. In this case, she's suffering abuse. Therefore, it's her right to request that she receive better treatment in her job. This would be the case even if she didn't have autism.

Well I agree with you, but my argument was more like, "they were anti-religious because religion was one of the pillars of the order they wanted to change". In a way, I simply see too much of communism in social justice movements spawning all over the globe. These people are dangerously close to ultraconservatives when they support ideological control over mass culture, it's just the things they want to control and censor are different from those that concern the conservatives, though I identify some convergence when it comes to exploitation and cheap pleasure/fun. Liberals consider them degrading to the subjects taking part in it, while conservatives regard them as degrading to the audience.

Communists were anti-religion because anti-religiosity was one of the pivotal points in Marxism. It's one of the ideological media supported by society's economic infrastructure and acts in justification of it, thereby it should be eliminated with the rest of the social pillars of capitalist society. In the name of communism they did some really terrible things against religious people.

In Serenes Forest I feel like the mere fact I have Awakening as my favorite game in the series is an unpopular opinion. :D But then, Serenes is hardly representative of what goes on in the mainstream, where people do consider Awakening one of the must have games of the decade on Nintendo consoles, and perhaps even of all time. I'll be honest, Awakening has some serious balancing issues (most obvious being Nosferatanks and Galeforce), and the story isn't perfect by any means, but casual gamers don't care about intricacies, and the things we did get in the game are pretty fun and should be perhaps taken more lightly by the more hardcore fans. The balance itself is actually not so important because there's no competitive community in the game whatsoever, as players can't battle each other in real time, so if it bothers you that the game is unbalanced, then play on a lower difficulty, as higher difficulties and skillful play in any game are the realm of exploits, cheese and abuse.

That's not true at all. Restriction is restriction wherever it comes from. CNN is not the FBI nor the county sheriff, mate. They can't "punish" anyone.

It's funny people aren't voting Fire Emblem, because Fire Emblem does have some great music.

Well, law sucks TBH. The things I liked in the course were the less practical things, but I've changed quite a lot from that time and I've become a political pessimist and a pragmatist. The bureaucracy is simply depressing. My suggestion would be to find what you're good at and start from there.

Here it's obviously Summer Christmas as well which is why it's weird for us to eat nuts and dress like Santa in the middle of a scorching summer.
