  1. The cracking skies... on trembling Earth
    Closing the eye... of blinding Sun
    WHO AM I? - a question... already answered
    I am who I am... no less, no more
    Destined to be... never to extinct
    Remaining after... everything dies
    Remaining... a Dog Star's Son... beyond the Sun
    For ever... and more

     

  2. Free-pulled an +Atk -Def Yarr!Tibarn. This is totally unexpected, since I was going into Tempest Trials with Eyvel as bonus. Now, here I am scrounging feathers to build a serviceable flier Beast team. 

    A few hours before the new content arrived, scrounged up orbs to summon on the TT Bonus unit banner, and got my second Velouria, which I wanted to get at some point, but not at that time. Still thankful though.

    I'll put it in spoilers, since Karimlan is playing the game, too, it seems (One of us! One of us!)

    I really don't mind spoilers (much), but thanks 😄

    The game was on sale and had the free DLC, so I figured "What the hell," and bought it.

    Dirty Little Secret--The whitewashed, dumbed-down history we all learned in grade-school:

    i.e. Martin Luther King led the Civil Rights Movement. And then Congress passed the Civil Rights Act. And then there was equality under the law and Black people were treated equally and America became a post-racial society:

    ...that was a lie...  

    From slavery and the 3/5th's Rule to segregation and lynching to red-lining and the creation of the modern american "ghetto" to ongoing predatory practices in policing and criminal justice--its been one, continuous, unbroken line.

    Racism never went away.

    We're still closer to 1968 then to true equality under the law.
    We're still fighting the same culture war against the same entrenched opposition.   

    To illustrate these points further, here's a clip from Last Week Tonight.

    This should burst the bubble that people believe in about racism simply disappearing, otherwise no amount of convincing would help any of you.

    A PS1 weapon-based 3D fighting game, akin to SoulCalibur, featuring characters from the Three Kingdoms period of Chinese history ("Sangoku" in Japanese). The international numbering of the franchise is actually 1 ahead of the Japanese. The latest, Dynasty Warriors 9, is 8 in Japan.

    DW1 in Japan is Sangoku Musou (sometimes merged into one word; don't confuse it with Sengoku Musou- Samurai Warriors). Dynasty Warriors 2 is Shin Sangoku Musou. Think "Super Dynasty Warriors". Internationally there was no change to reflect this. 

    He beat me to it.

    I remember that game fondly, with me just playing as Cao Cao whenever I could.

  6. I speak English and Filipino fluently. My German and French are becoming less and less passable by the day (took them as electives in college), and I no longer know how to speak in Swedish or Norwegian (trading music--tapes/CDs/vinyls with people from Stockholm, Oslo and Bergen waaay back gave me a feel for both).

    -Melia shouldn't have been shafted that hard after Sword Valley in main game. Why did they add her crush on Shulk anyway?

    Got Hel in 52 orbs! Also a duplicate Thrasir along the way, which I wouldn't mind except I noticed October will also have Edelgard/Hel together, with the possibility of a third unit I'd want more. I guess theoretically I could have gotten that other unit instead by waiting, although really, that way lies madness. Figured it'd be better to get it over with.

    Hel is +Res/-Def, which seems unimpressive, but it could be worse.

    Congrats! I got two Hels in 63 orbs, with the +spd one first. While I lament needing to build a DC unit and not turn into a book, Spd is Hel's super-asset (at 45), which, along with Inevitable Death, will help prevent her being doubled naturally.

  9. 160 orbs in, and I got three 5* units:

    • 2 Hel (one of them has a spd asset)
    • 1 Leila (+HP/-Res)

    I didn't get Edie or Thrasir, but I'll take what I can and save for CYL.

    Side note: one session contained all green stones, but no 5* character. Sucks. But I did get a Ross and Echidna, which can go to future merge projects.

    In addition to Hel's color being a surprise for this month

    Was it, really? I pretty much thought that if ever Hel is included, she'd be an axe unit, given that Surtr's Sinmara is depicted as a scythe, and it may not make sense to depict Hel's weapon as something entirely different, aside from the fact that Surtr's weapon could have been named something else (allowing for ambiguity) while Hel's was really a scythe.

    Nomenclature aside, I already had a need to pull green (for Edelgard merges and at least one Thrasir, which I don't have), and Hel is just gravy (but, gravy is fun). I'm not too sold on colorless (getting Leila would be sweet, getting a second Eir would be okay, but I don't want another F!Corrin), and red/blue don't look too appealing at all.
