    Experiences in D&D, and actually playing Katawa Shoujo. Among other things.

    No matter how small these things may be in the grand scheme of things, these are big to us.

    I too have played a really great game of D&D this year that actually started because of quarantine. I also got to spend a lot of time with my family and thankfully none of us have been dreadfully sick, so that's been nice.

  2. Those pairing looks fine to me.  If you're looking plot stuff, Erinys/Lewyn has support in FE5 and either Beowulf or Finn with Lachesis also has support. If you want a more comprehensive guide that also handles inheritance, I'm putting a really solid one in the spoiler tag below. Good luck and have fun! Genealogy is pretty easy, so you'll probably be fine doing whatever.

    Yeah, but FEBuilder's automatic color reduction left my Jagen.... A little color-less. His armor has mostly the same color, but his face is grey as you can see.

    I saw that  😁. You might try taking pallets (at least for skin tones) from other units in the game. FEBuilder doesn't restrict you to this (I don't think) but generally, the RGB values are multiples of 8 and stay between 32 and 248. Using colors from the game or other values with these constraints can make your sprites feel a little more natural and blend with the other assets in the base game.

    I wish I could play games like other people do. They just get automatically drawn and are able to sit there for hours. The only exception for that is Smash, but that's mostly because I play competitively. I have trouble simply sitting down and being able to play and get immersed.

    I went to sleep at like 10 a.m this morning, and I woke up past 5 p.m. Can't say I've gotten started yet, but at least I can make an effort and not do the things I mentioned.

    Night is still young, so there's plenty of time for things like excercise, some of the games I mentioned and things like that.

    Well best of luck to you. It's super cool that you play Smash competitively!

    Thank you! About the color thing, FEBuilder does it automatically and allows me to edit the palette, but I'll try to use my own colors.

    Sure, it's really nice that FEBuilder has that!! I just find that it's a little unwieldy sometimes, so I prefer to do color reduction in an external program, but either way works!! Hope everything goes well for you!

  6. I would say what is happening is your sprite is not fit to the expected template, and the game is processing it as well as it can. As far as I know, you pretty much have to obey the size and color constraints for sprites unless you're doing some serious back-end work. I would recommend either building your own sprite or resizing and recoloring the DS Jagen sprite with the 15 colors you want in a separate program. Then you can fit it to the template.

    To get a template from FEBuilder directly: go into the portrait editor, select any portrait, and click export image at the bottom of the window. You will then save a direct png of the portrait you picked. Once you have that image, you can fit the sprite you want to it in any image editing program and when it's finished, you can import the new image.

    Good luck!

  7. I understand how you feel. It's super easy to get sucked into a hole and then be too tired to do the things you want to do. You might try picking out the biggest wastes of time (youtube, social media, whatever else you want to cut out) and decide to only do them at certain times or on certain days. Recently I've been trying to play video games only on Sundays so I can work on other projects, and it's helped a lot. Maybe make lists too? I'm very guilty of making schedules and then not following through with them, but it can still be motivating to at least know what it is you want to accomplish on a given day. I also want to second the person who said to tell people your plans. That can be a huge help.

  8. Return bands you can give to anyone whose kids need money. I've never found them all that useful myself, but they're A GREAT WAY TO DIVERSIFY YOUR PORTFOLIO inheritable wealth, so that's nice. As for the rest of them, there's a really good guide here:

    It covers inheritance and pairing, but includes who should probably have specific rings. In the end though, FE4 isn't all that hard so you'll be fine whatever you do. Good luck, and have fun!! FE4 is awesome!

    Hey all, I’d like to propose a project to improve something a lot of people, myself included, typically have issues with when playing the FE GBA titles. The support system. Obtaining supports is slow and clunky, not to mention limited given both the 5 support limit and the A supports being the end of the line most of the time when it comes to exploring a character’s supports. 
    I think this is pretty easy to solve, all that needs to be done is use one of the more modern support systems used in GBA hacking for each of the games, and possibly provide an option beyond A supports for players who are still learning about a given character, and aren’t sure which pairing they want to commit to yet.

    Here's kind of what you're looking for.

  10. C) See if Mark is OK

    After all this adventuring in the wacky world of Fire Emblem night time TV, Mark's misdeeds have been entirely forgotten. Unfortunately, he's disappeared and won't answer your calls.

    A) Forget about Mark. He's was lame anyway. Go chat with Jill instead

    B) Ask Jerry Springer if he and the Ike-spawn children can help locate him.

    C) Contact the remnants of the bicycle gang

    D) Grab a magnifying glass and look for clues the old fashion way: with your eyes

  11. B) Accuse the persecutor of another entirely different crime

    "FURTHERMORE," you say to the prosecutor, "I have photographic evidence that you yourself were in a tricycle gang in your youth, AND that you're harboring a vampire tricycle in your garage! What do you have to say about that, sir?"

    You're not sure if any of this is true, but through some sort of clairvoyance (perhaps granted by your association with your own vampire vehicle) it looks like you've hit the nail on the head. The prosecutor begins to blurt out excuses for himself and asks how you could possibly have figured it all out? Before you have the chance to answer, he pulls out a revolver, pointing it in your direction. His eyes are wild.

    A) Try to talk him down

    B) Try to pin it on Mark

    C) Remote start your vampire car

    D) Keep insulting him. "Pfft, a revolver? What is this, 1873?"

    E) Charge him. You're bulletproof. Probably.

    Rise of the Deliverance but it's the beginning of L'arachel's journey and there are like, six more guys in her party. All as fanatical as Dozla, and they all get heroic, over the top sacrificial deaths.

    This is canon and no one can tell me otherwise.

    On the main topic though, I don't know if it would be a good choice, but I would really really like it anyway. I'd love to play Innes or L'arachel or Joshua mode and check out what they were up to at the beginning of the game, or see things from their perspective ala Hector Mode in FE7.

  13. Happy birthday! I haven't had a quarantine birthday yet BUT I did host a party on Discord since this whole thing started and it turned out surprisingly well. There's loads of fun party stuff you can do digitally if you're willing to get creative. Good luck and congratulations!!

    Well I'm unemployed right now due to the whole Corona virus thing. I'm just here to live with my girlfriend for a while. I am a tefl teacher by trade though. And I should be teaching online but the company am with seems have done a mass over hiring because they haven't given me any lessons yet.

    That's a real bummer, sorry to hear it. I've wondered how those tefl jobs/programs have been affected by COVID, and unsurprisingly, it sounds rough. Probably it's nice to at least be with someone though, and to be chillin in Japan. I remember being stunned by the scenery all the time.

  15. My FE7 recommendation is to play it twice, since after you finish it the first time, you'll unlock Hector mode. It has some cool and exclusive characters, like Farina! If you like the animations in FE7, FE8 Sacred Stones is also in that style and is a good time.

    Anyway, hope you enjoy your time here, we're happy to have you 🙂

  16. C) Continue the farce

    After all, you DO have a flying vampire car to aid in the ruse. You continue to twitch and shout as the police flood the scene and inspect the damage.

    "What have we got here Chief?"

    "Well Dave, it looks like we got ourselves a standard case of vampiric vehicular manslaughter, plus possession. The victim was justice. The weapon was three thousand pounds of steel." The Chief bends down to get a look at the bodies and shakes his head. "Bikers by the looks of 'em. I hate these guys."

    A) Completely forget what you were doing and tell the Chief how much you also hate people who ride bicycles.

    B) Get up, pretending to be disoriented, and ask Dave and Chief what happened.

    C) Try to sneak away to your flying vampire car.

    D) Look around for Mark, your ex-best friend.
