  1. Since you talk about the Seiken Densetsu/Mana series quite a bit, I was wondering, have you played Secret of Evermore? If so, what did you think of it? I recently played through it, and while I found it good and enjoyable, I couldn't help but feel some puzzles were unfair/tedious and the alchemy system and each individual weapon having its own exp. stat made things quite clunky and a bit frustrating to deal with.

      I'll try asking him about it when I see him around. Thanks!

      Ah, I just thought I'd ask since I barely ever hear people talk about Secret of Evermore and with your wide knowledge of lots of different games, I was interested in hearing your opinion of it.

  3. So since you keep asking people in the Interview thread if they prioritize law over justice or justice over law, could you give me an example of each? I want to be prepared for when I get that question for my interview.

      Well, I suppose complete legal positivism would be the lesser of the two evils. I mean, with what some people these days consider to be right (Muhammadism and encouraging killing, as an extreme example), it'd be much easier to deal with the occasional bad loopholes that arise from legal positivism, rather than dealing with so many people doing bad because "that's what they believe is right." Though I still think complete legal positivism is quite bad in its own right. Thanks for the in-depth explanations and examples, by the way!!

      I think I get it. So legal positivism refers to rules and guidelines that are set in stone, and legal naturalism is whatever the person in the situation thinks is right.

      Though strangely, I'd go for legal naturalism in the mild example and legal positivism in the extreme example. I guess overall, whichever one prioritizes protecting innocent people (with minimizing suffering between all involved parties as a secondary objective) is the path I'd go for. I couldn't really bring myself to absolutely stick with either legal positivism or legal naturalism fully, since both would eventually make for some decisions I'd find really cruel and unfair.

  5. Good to see you still doing well. At least, I think and hope you're doing well. So, you mainly up to college work these days?

  6. Yep, I'm still around. I mostly stick to Forum Games and PMs these days since getting into discussions in other sections tends to mentally wear me out more than usual these days. And don't worry, I remember you and how you were talking to me about clean enough anime that my younger siblings and I could enjoy together.

      Ah... well, I hope you're getting good marks, staying on top of your lessons, going for help from classmates/professors when needed, and working together with classmates when allowed. The last two parts in particular are things I personally did a lot, and I don't think I would've passed certain courses without it.

      For me, I got laid off of my full time job doing air vent/plumbing floor plan drawings on computer ever since November 2016, and I've been mostly applying for jobs, and chilling/cleaning up around the house.

  7. I hope there's no hard feelings about the Lucina discussion in the "Least Favourite Character" thread. I mean, I think it's tame enough since we're not convincing each other to like/dislike certain characters, and we are just discussing the emulation/portrayal of Marth aspect while agreeing to disagree on Lucina's other aspects.

      I actually completely forgot about that specific rule. I mainly remembered the anti-flaming rules, the specifics of necro-posting, 3 off-topic posts being allowed max before mods take action, no double posting unless it's a timely update or project thread, and sig size limits.

      I can't remember most of the suggestions either, besides the Pokemon anime. So what have you been up to these days?

  9. I saw you mention in the Camilla and Elise thread that it's possible to miss out on child units depending on who Corrin marries. Could you explain to me how to prevent missing out on any child units or give me an online link that explains how to avoid it? Also, is missing out on child units possible in all 3 versions of Fates? Keep in mind, I haven't played Fates or looked at the Fates section too much, but I was always curious about that since in Awakening I knew it was possible to miss out on Cynthia.

      Mini-modding... I suppose that is something that there should be rules against, but I think a simple "calm down" post is acceptable enough. I'll admit though, a mod's job must be hard.

      Come to think of it, you got a really good point there. I mean, it was in the debating sub-section and debating was what we're doing (and it was on topic since we were discussing a factor as to why a character was my least favourite), and it was done without hostility or personally attacking people. I guess I'm just overly paranoid of Integrity these days due to the mild instances he gave warns/temporary forum bans to (like Raven the SF member getting a 3 day forum ban for telling someone to calm down during a discussion, and he did so without any flaming or insults).

      I should apologize for cutting the discussion short in that thread. It seemed to be building up to the point that Integrity would just randomly hand out warns to everyone involved, despite it still being tame. I've seen him do that too often for my tastes, and I've been a victim of him giving warns in very mild situations (which is why I tend to stick to PMs and the Forum Games section where Integrity isn't warn happy).

  13. I just want to say that I applaud you for your "FE Fanbase and trying to fix it" thread. If only more people weren't so quick to give up on trying to fix the fanbase (especially since it starts by fixing their own attitude first). I'd like to think I improved a lot in the past years in that sense, but reducing how often I post about my opinions (especially the negative ones) probably isn't the right way to go about it.

  14. Out of curiosity, you're Majestic Paladin/AllAroundGamer, right? Name change history doesn't exist anymore (to my knowledge) and I want to make sure of who you are.

  15. ...wait... editor!? Since when!? I mean, congrats, but I mean, first being the Source Gaming interviewee representing SF, and now editor? You just keep moving up in the world when I'm not looking, huh?

      Do you get to talk to the elders there often? I bet they've got tons of funny and interesting stories.

  17. Since you mentioned Velhart playing my Mario Maker level, do you have a link to the specific video? I know that the level he played was "The Towering Triple Threat" but I can't find the exact video on his youtube channel.

      I hope so too. It sounds like you'll be extremely busy from now on, and you've got job corps on top of that as well. I really wish I had advice regarding juggling a lot of responsibilities, but "keeping your eye on and addressing the most important issues first" is the only words that come to mind.

      I sincerely do mean that congrats I gave you though. With how good you've become with online communities and how knowledgeable and talented you are in a lot of different games, you're very qualified for all of these high position promotions you've been getting.

I was browsing my old photobucket pics, and stumbled across an old sig that I thought you may want to use in the future if you ever happen to be using a Garland avatar again: Be sure to write below it "I, Garland, will knock you all down!!" http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p274/Kamundios/Signature55.png

  24. A question I'm wanting to ask since you're well versed in video game development: how hard would it be to put in playable Daisy and Rosalina in Super Mario Run? (we're considering models and animations only, and we're assuming they don't need any special/unique abilities programmed in). Part of me does think that Daisy's animations in particular could've been modified from Peach's models, but I might be wrong on that. Either way, I'm pretty happy with the S...
