  1. ITT people playing EZ modo at 180 FPS without focusing?
  2. Fallacious. Marriage is (usually) a prerequisite for children, not (usually) the other way around.
  3. Anna as a pay2win character would be too meta.
  4. Did you know you can Falco Phantasm into Fire Bird now? And that Falco has two meteors, including the aforementioned Phantasm? Falco's a pain but I am genuinely unsure whether I despise fighting him or Fox more. Both are way too fast and make you approach them with their Blasters and Reflectors.
  5. The Red Mage in me is heavily biased to more versatile classes, but there is legitimate value to them in a strategy game like this, as it is extremely valuable to attack the weapons triangle from multiple angles, or to be able to attack Def as well as Res. For these reasons, its sheer maximum stats, and more, I believe Basara to be the best class in Fates (followed by Falcon Warrior). But that's just me.
  6. I wanted to post something along these exact lines in response to the motion control hate, so I must thank you for doing so for me.
  7. The only problem I see here is that the win multiplier is not at all proportional to popularity. Simply giving both teams x2 win points still puts things statistically in favor of the more popular team. Giving both teams a x2 win multiplier is only okay when the teams are even, and even then it becomes moot because wins then become the only thing determining a difference between teams. To use an extreme example, what if Roller Coasters had 75% of NA players? It would only be fair, then, that Water Slides' wins accounted for three times as much points as Roller Coasters--say, x1.5 vs. x4.5 win points. Without such a catch-up mechanic, Splatfest really is little more than a glorified popularity contest.
  8. I don't think we can get a more objective morality than "treat others how you would want to be treated by others."
  9. -HP is (theoretically) an excellent option for a Nohr route run, since it seems to have the least penalizing growth mods. +Lck/-HP is basically MiracleGro for MU, IMO, though +Spd does have better caps.
  10. I'll be going grocery shopping tommorrow to pick up some red tea. :)
  11. Indeed. And quite frankly such diversionary attention-seeking tactics are insulting. Let's not let others ruin the joy this great person has brought us.
  12. You could say that they made off like bandits.
  13. I never finished it, either. I was stuck at the stupid airship fight. I actually beat it a couple of times, but would subsequently die to a random encounter before I could find the nearest save point. Freaking save points.
  14. Never enuf dakka, tho. (I don't actually play that particular series; a friend does.)
  15. There is an answer used in the South reserved for questions like "Would you play a MOBA?" That answer is "Hay-ull no."
  16. I started with an SNES at an early age (I remember hooking it up myself at the age of 5, which felt long after it was already an established part of my life) and a Game Boy Pocket in early elementary school and things kind of cascaded from there. Super Mario Kart was the first game that I actively wanted, because of a super-early memory of watching my much-older stepbrother (on my father's side) play it. My family was pretty poor that early on, I would later come to learn, so whatever games we could get ended up getting tons of replay value by default. I played Super Mario World endlessly trying to find the Torpedo Ted enemy in the credits (hiding the Soda Lake goal behind another goal was kind of a dick move and it would be over a decade before I would have ever learned of it; thank you, internet). (Also I just now as I was typing this noticed the cleverly-hidden reference with Bullet Bill and Torpedo Ted. WTG Nintendo Localization, you da best excellent.) Donkey Kong Country was also a thing I played through a few times. Everything else is basically middling information, but I guess of note there is my introduction to Pokémon. [spoiler=Spoilered for disproportionate length (it is middling information, after all)]This wasn't until relatively later on, of course, but I remember at one point an older kid had trusted me to hold his Game Boy (Color? I want to say?) which was running one of the Gen I Pokémon games. Specifically he was on what I would later learn to be Cinnabar Island, which I explored out of curiosity but ultimately got nowhere with my non-existent understanding of the interface at the time. In fact, at the time I don't think I even knew what Pokémon was, or that that was it. It fascinated me, though, as RPGs had a tendency to do ever since watching my father play Baldur's Gate. Eventually I got Blue version for I think my 10th birthday present (I was not fond of the color red at the time and that was probably known) . . . either 9th or 10th, anyway. 2000 +/- 2 years was a bit of a blurry, tumultuous period involving way too much moving. Of course I chose Charmander, knowing exactly what I would be putting myself up against with regards to the first two gyms. IIRC basically everybody did, anyway, even if for questionable reasons. I completed my first playthrough with a misspelled name (because I did not know how to delete letters at the naming screen, nor did it strike me wise to turn off my Game Boy in the middle of something so clearly important!), and had an epic confrontation weakening Mewtwo--I forget whether this was because I used my Master Ball already, or I did not know that the Master Ball was a 100% catch rate, but either way I caught it on my first try! Then I'd get Gold Version, play it tons, beat Red, lose cartridges, find cartridges, lose cartridges again more ultimately . . . it was a wild and crazy ride all around. I'm still looking to actually finish a Pokémon game after the original Gold, after all these years. While I am not actively playing it right now, my resolution is to achieve this with Black Version while it still has a ghost of relevance. Or at least at all. My obsession with training all of my monsters has somehow slowed me down substantially after Gen II, even though that was what was encouraged back then . . .)
  17. Too busy freaking out over Copycat Puppet. Especially in a player phase-oriented strategy, being able to take more actions is always a good thing. Speed Seal is clearly the best Seal, though, and being able to combo with Defence Seal from the base class is undoubtedly convenient. Furthermore, you can switch to Basara after grabbing Lancefaire and proceed to wreck just about everything. You might be onto something here . . . but I would personally be more interested in getting to Basara via Spellcaster because Fortune looks like it can create a lot of potential . . . for no-grind runs, anyway.
  18. Honestly I think this is somewhat of a cool idea at face value, but there are too many eugenics implications as-is, and choosing gender would be OP in Shipping Emblem. Perhaps the popular opinion of limited name choices is the best one.
  19. Not only this, but the console was also universally panned . . . by everybody who didn't own one. Everybody who actually played one (an admittedly small number for a while) recognized the device as the most fun to have ever graced their living rooms, by stark contrast. This was a hard choice for me, too (especially between the Wii U and my first console the Super Nintendo), but I have to echo the sentiment that Nintendo's current generation of gaming is, in fact, the best one yet.
  20. For some reason or another, IS simply wants us to at least try Birthright or Conquest first. Make of that what you will. This being said Conquest surely has the most value, as it effectively is a completely different game, being that it lack's Birthright's convenience features entirely. Birthright is arguably made the most redundant purchase in this deal.
  21. If nothing else, he finally has the time to work on the latest programming project he has been wanting to do: Banana Tengoku. May he rest in peace, and may the spirit of joy he brought persist for ages to come.
  22. Miracle (+Sol or something similar) can beat Lethality. Flamboyance incidentally also increases the proc rate of an opposing Miracle.
  23. Iwata was also behind Animal Crossing, and you were able to play Balloon Fight within that game, so Villager is definitely good enough. If only they weren't so stupid to play against . . .
