Punished Dayni

.....Remember when I thought that I might actually show up again regularly after a week? Only for me to have to run off again and only show up again now? Yeah, that happened.

Apparently there was a fake Genealogy leak while I was gone too, that at least was proven quick.

Just checked, it was just over a year.

Do I finally have a map that did more to hold me back than that first attempt at C19 Thracia? Yes I suppose.

.....

Well, I know I've had issues with Spirit of the North, but right when it's about to go into it's last act after several minutes of having to crawl in game because that was needed for narrative reasons, the game crashes out.

This game is not worth it on Switch.

First Stella Glow ticks me off because skeeviness and green units, now I manage to force myself to lose progress in another game because it trapped me in a puzzle I had already cleared. It wouldn't let me reactivate the door opener, so when it closed behind me, I was stuck.

Oh, just to add a few more points, Spirit of the North is a game I do not recommend on Switch for a second graphically, because it is a shame the game looks like it does. People seemed to talk pretty positively about it's graphics, visual style taking inspiration from Iceland and music, but I don't think the latter matters much thus far and the former two are not something the Switch version does well at all.

>Tries to do mission with two green units again.

>They keep charging ahead when it'd be easier if they didn't move at all.

>They keep dying and the one time I managed to get the generics dead enough for them to be docile I lose someone to the boss.

>Losing nobody is a sub objective in this fucking map.

I think I'm quitting Stella Glow because of green units. FE never managed that.

I don't know why I'm convincing myself to continue with Stella Glow. But I am.

Deciding to continue on with the 3DS backlog, not much to say there because it's pretty recent I went back. There's a bit of Fates Lunatic progress, but it's like 22 BR, 24 CQ and RV at this point. Finished Samus Returns. It's interesting as a predecessor to Dread's control scheme and I thought easier overall, including with it's actual final boss:

Then tried Stella Glow again. It feels gross at points (e.g. let's be real a vault opening up to a room with a couch which is the place where you tune the witches of the setting and they're wearing nightgowns for reasons? I'm fairly sure that's sketch.) and I'm still early on (also one of the best units keeps looking for chicks (and we know he's looking to just hook up) but when all of the witches turn out to be underage he's like "no thanks". I mean, thanks for not being the worst?), I think Engage might actually deserve apologies after it. Gameplay's alright enough, but the last map I was on tasks a subgoal of not letting the green units take damage. This is an issue because they'll at some point charge up, attack at 1-range and face counter attacks. FFS. Musically, well the soundtrack's kinda eh. Considering singing is a part of the story's plot, I think that says enough.

Further progress, cleared 24, honestly less stressful compared to the last few maps, barring that gimmick being an annoyance and having to rescue Louis up to tank a Lodestar Rush. Bit of a relief alongside clearing the 13th paralogue right after it (Barring a poor tactical call that risked Saphir and Fogado).

25, on the other hand. Hoo boy that was rough. Barely scraped a win there without losing someone and this was a combination of the lasers and the stupid number of reinforcements that turn up by turn 10 or so. Things could have been worse to start (The entrap guy was surprisingly easily dealt with by Timerra after he warped her in, making it easier to charge up), but I may have been a little slow on the left, which got worse when the right side had to deal with both the laser and 4 or so enemies, which took a few rewinds sadly. Then it got worse after moving in to clear out the guys standing between the boss and your forces. the second entrap guy missed but the freeze guy hit Alasalak, which made planning out a turn where I wanted to move her up alongisde a Goddess Dance and remove all the units around the boss while also sufficiently walling off the frickton of reinforcements (whose mages ensured Louis would not suffice), before the next turn became a pileon on the boss and getting the chests. That was stressful. Also, why were the lasers Def-targetting?

Back on Engage, just cleared 23 (I'd done the last emblem paralogues first)

Man, I have laughed a lot playing Engage.

This post-chapter story bit has been a barrelful.

I managed to find out something.

Fuck sake Engage.

The only way to outcheese Thracia: Fates Cheese.

(Specifically Qi Adept's Ice Wall to block Leif from pretty much anyone at risk of getting Quad hit while I cleared the NE part of the map with three units, which was everyone not named Goldmary or Diamant I guess)

So, the Sigurd paralogue.

It for some reason has a pair sitting in the corner well above the recommended level for the map. I mean, they're sitting at over 50/60 magic attack and the over 60 one is doubling pretty much anything coming near it. Of course, you have to call them over to you and I uh... didn't anticipate a 1-shot happening. I decided to hold off for a second and think about it before doing it again.

Any recommendations? Not related to Emblem skills I mean.

Eyy Mr Minami! Sunwoo!

I assume you've been at least following the whole topic of NTWEWY, I got it very early on and have been having a good bit of fun so far. (Spoilers)

For clarification, if 5% seems more like 0%, DO NOT FUCKING MAKE RNG WITH 5% RATES LIKE THIS

I won't stop you.

At least unlike you I finished it. 😛

It also turns out if you recruit Ferdinand he comes straight back after Chapter 13 instead of waiting three months to do so. So that was nice.

Also, will get round to DLC.... eventually. Revelations is far slower than expected.
