  1. I like dragons, but I don't like Fire Emblem dragons. Manaketes and Laguz are far too human-like to be interesting. You could turn them into humans and I would barely notice the difference. I prefer dragons like the dragons in Skyrim. They're smart (Paarthurnax is more or less a dragon philosopher), they actually have their own language (but can learn the human tongue if they care to) and "culture", but they're also still animal-like in other things (dominance, hunting for food (and that includes humans)). And they're pretty fucking cool and strong. And no human form, thank god. I hate that trope. (The only time I like that trope is in LiEat, but that game actually does new, interesting things with dragons so it's okay)

    Agreeable point. Though I've never encountered such problem on the internet (or genral games) because of my gender, I've seen others being harassed. 

    I don't play any online games, so I have no stories as well. But I remember there was a pretty well-known tumblr where a female gamer (I think she was also a game developer?) posted some of the messages she got. Pretty horrible stuff.

  3. Yas, metal is the best. My all-time favourite is Blind Guardian. I don't know much about labels, but personally I'd call them symphonic metal. They incorporate many classical instruments. Then of course Medieval Metal like In Extremo, Subway to Sally and I love me some Pirate and Viking Metal, like Alestorm and Turisas.

    Btw, the new Alestorm CD is out and it's AWESOME. I can't stop listening to it. <3

  4. I'm quite surprised that Jedah attacked you. He never attacked me, even when he had no monster spawns. I could park my units in his range and he just ignored them. On all of my three tries. I was on Normal/Classic. Since he wasn't bothering me, I also didn't kill him. I'm kinda wondering what he was doing then, after Duma was defeated.

  5. I spent statboosters almost immediately if I haven't planned to keep them for someone beforehand.

    I only use divine weapons in the last chapters. Mostly because before that, they're kinda overkill. If I managed to easily get through the chapters with just normal weapons, it's not worth to waste the divines. Regarding the non-divine, special weapons like hammer and stuff; I use them so rarely, that most of the time, I just sell them to buy more steel weapons.

  6. Haha, Hashmal doesn't get to show all of his ugly mug on the sheet. He doesn't deserve it anyway.

    God, what kind of bullshit ending. I know I would've been disappointed if I had bought that game, struggled through it and then got that "ending".

    Great LP, though. I'm already looking forward to Knights of Lodis. I've tried to play it once or twice, but for some reason it just never managed to make me play it for more than an hour.

    For a Fire Emblem example, I have not heard of, nor have I seen, anyone ship Eliwood and Hector or Chrom and Male Robin, even though they are just as developed as close friends. Anyway, Soren and Ike is neither canon, nor implied, and this is a thread about official love interests.

    Lol, what? When did you join FE fandom? Back around 2008 when I joined there definitely were people who shipped Eliwood and Hector. Their fics are probably bumped to the last sides or deleted already. I don't give a fuck about Awakening shipping, but I've seen some MRobin and Chrom fics.

    although I still think it's really weird how there's straight up a guy named beowulf since up until now (and by now I mean up until yesterday when you said there was a guy named beowulf) i thought beoulve was supposed to sound like beowulf with there being a wiglaf and all

    but I guess not since there's an actual beowulf

    Beoulve looks a bit like French to me so I didn't pronounce it like more English-looking Beowulf. But since I have no idea of French pronunciation, I just say Be-ulf.

  9. In a game without genetics and pairing, I choose female. Mostly because I'm tired of male protagonists. Female main protagonists are still far too rare.

    In the case of Fates, I wanted to bang Gunter first because yay, older men so I had to choose female Corrin anyway. After that, I chose according to the supports I was curious about.

    And yeah, I think we do need them. Jagens are the only way we can get older characters into these stories about children slaying gods and saving the universe. They've got nowhere to grow and nothing to lose.

    Fucking agreed. I need at least one old dude/dudette in the sea of barely-adults. Besides, Marcus has that typical grumpy-strict-but-actually-really-caring-for-his-charges personality going on that's just my weakness. Gunter also has that, but Marcus has two games and more supports.
