Serenes Forest's Teehee Thread

Reading Nowi's supports is making her even worse.

It's so cute and wholesome, until I remember that it leads to... You know.

Damnit, IntSys.

Anyway, Gregor continues to be the greatest character in games.

There is one solution to that.

Clear your mind and don't let these thoughts spread.

Dude, you're talking to the guy who can't read a good magazine article without having irrelevant thoughts slip back into their head. And unless my pulse is racing from the road being too hairy for comfort, probably thinks too many distracting thoughts when driving.

To think is to live, IMO. And in the absence of better thoughts strong or distracting enough to kick them out, self-doubt and criticism live rent-free in my cranium. Although, the line under my username is in equal parts a reference to this. Which will send you to an asylum trying to get through it as I've learned firsthand.

That's it. There are 7 billion people on this planet. Someone will take an interest in you and enjoy your company.

Quite possible, true. 

And thank goodness I live in the age of the Internet, as knowing myself, I would in all likelihood would feel very uneasy sitting in a corner in a bar or something. I'd probably only become comfortable there if I was already in a relationship. As strange as it sounds for a grown adult -particularly when we're talking a hypothetical gay bar which almost by definition is welcoming I'd think- I would feel better off with someone to "anchor" me. Sounds clingy and dependent, odd for someone whose neurological differences inclines them to getting lost in their own little world, and yet, feeling "alone & adrift" at a large social gathering leaves me quite uncomfortable.

I mean, for crying out loud, Roy's interactions with Cecilia have exactly zero romanticism to them. They clearly respect and admire each other, but then it just jumps to fuckery for absolutely no reason.

I hate that pairing so much. Worst pairing in all of FE, seriously. Who came up with it? Who was it?

Isn't HectorxFlorina worse? Have you repressed all your memories of Blazing Blade? Or, did you actually want to be Hector when Florina's pegasus came falling down on him?

I agree that supports really should provide a hint of a potential "prelude to love" if it will end in marriage. Not necessarily a very direct "I will never let you go", but something that clearly indicates lasting romance is a possibility. -With proper chemistry preceding that prelude.

Pretty much. It feels like they’re trying to railroad the choices to the same place, since 

Spoiler

the offer to make Serenoa saint in the first place ONLY makes sense if you went straight to Hyzante instead of smuggling the salt. Now it feels like where the story wants to go is designed around handing over the Roselle, and they just sort of force the other path over there.

You know... that actually adds up. It even suits my LP canon. Kinda. You just substitute "daughter" for "sister" and remove the "son" and that's exactly what happened to Lot. Except... In his case, he was perfectly fine with it.

I'll amend it then. Your best friend marries your closest female blood relative.

I consider the Lilina pairing as "semi-official" because the other supports within Roy's harem are so slow that a normal player will probably never notice that they're even there. Easter eggs, basically. Plus, what Rubenio said about Lilina being the only pairing that is hinted at outside of the support itself.

Of course, this logic has the hole that Roy/Cecilia, of all things, grows as normal (for BinBla) speed.

I'll also take that argument. Plus there's even a meeting between them in prequel. It's that pushed. I just want to make an argument other pairings aren't real and can't hurt me.

A village raiding horseman I'm certain. Think about it. Cecilia has a horse. Roy is a man who interacts with villages to get their valuables (which is every man because this is Elibe not Archanea, but anyway). Obviously the work of a horseman.

Eldigan, a true hero: He mitigates Genealogy's walking problem for just a little while.

It's actually funny. Going into Genealogy, based off my memory of last time I played the game (2011) I thought I'd like the larger scale battles and detest the fact characters have individual finances and can't directly trade weapons and items. Playing it now I realize the enemy spread is way too clustered for the maps and the ample gold flow from villages and arena make the other work as a gameplay aspect. Which is funny because the part of the game I've found I'm absolutely addicted to is the arena. The fact you can't actually lose units this time, the gold matters more, and the set amount of matches anyone can get has lead to me trying to put everyone as far as I can every chapter and enjoying it. Sigurd, Jamke, Ira/Ayra and Lewyn (who technically has the pursuit ring to capitalize on his speed) have all been universally able to clear it. Quan has twice but not the third. Lex has once but not the first two times. Finn managed the second... but only the second.

Mind the one time it's not clustered totally it doesn't even make sense. The third castle you have to seize in Chapter 2.... has this randomly placed knight over in the mountains. He can't even move in his position I can't actually work out what he's supposed to be for given you can't approach that way except with Fury/Erinys/Erin/whatever they call her in 2022. And by the time I recruit her, he's gone because the castle he's from is seized... and even if it weren't she's got pegasus knight movement. He's got none. She can almost certainly avoid his range.
Is he a joke? Is this Kaga's sense of humor at work?

Oh no, absolutely not. Roy and Cecilia is super forced and questionable. Their supports are about a young pupil coming to terms with his new station as leader of an army with the help of his old teacher, who eventually comes to see him as a grown individual, her own peer and worthy of respect. Then the ending just jumps to them marrying for no reason. There's zero build-up to that, it just happens because Japan, I guess. Never mind the fact that she's like 20 years older than him and he's underaged, which is an entirely different can of worms.

Luckily, the fact that the ending comes out of nowhere has one good thing: It makes the ending's existence quite easy to just ignore. So that's what I do.

I'll agree that this is wonky as well, but it's nowhere near the level of stupidity of Roy/Cecilia.

Yeah. Exactly. Roy and Cecilia behave like two people who respect and admire each other. There is no sexual tension or chemistry between them, in the slightest. People talk about modern FE, but how do you excuse this? This is even worse than your average S support nonsense! At least S supports have a conversation that tries to lead to marriage somehow! This is just the game going "oh and by the way they fuck" at the very end. Why?

...Nah I'm joking. I'll try, at least. We'll see what the deployment slots are looking like by chapter 13. Not good, I can tell you that much right now. But I'll give it my very best shot.

Roy's harem is one of the stupidest little things about FE6. The game pushes Lilina really hard, because gotta copy Mystery of the Emblem with Caeda and all, but then it just... sort of picks five women at random and gives Roy the option to marry them too for some reason? But at least the A support with Sue, Larum, Shanna and Sophia does have some modicum of lovey-dovey talk. It's really bad and devoid of any substance, especially compared to Lilina, but at least it's there. It tries to justify the ending somehow. Cecilia doesn't even get that, it's a thoroughly platonic chain of conversations that ends in marriage because why not.

It's all Merlinus's fault somehow.

The arena is one of those things that contributes to my certainty that I'll never replay Genealogy in my life. On a first run it feels neat kinda, but if you think about it for a couple of seconds, you realize... The complete lack of stakes means the arena in Genealogy is nothing more than a time waster. You press A a bunch of times until you wipe everyone out. That's it. It's even more mindless than traditional JRPGs, which is a terrible statement coming from me.

Oh yeah, I remember that guy. If you move someone all the way to him, there's a hidden conversation. It's not much, he just says something along the lines of "hey you can't go past this point", or something. Or maybe it's not like that at all. I can't really remember it. I just know there was a conversation and it wasn't worth the walk through the mountains to him.

Yeah I can see it's a time waster. But it's also instant gratification in a game with a ton of walking. So it's kind of a palate cleanser for me. I get to forget how many turns I did nothing but walk for a bit. Plus if you think about what you're doing you can use the funds from it to swap around the paragon band/elite ring/whatever a bit. Getting extra experience. Just gotta be careful not to screw it up. Or that lack of stakes can turn into wasted money and an item stuck on someone you don't want it on.

33 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said:

Oof... Poor bats. #JusticeForBats.

I don't know. Bats are basically just a nest of disease. They produce a high body temperature to help them cope with the cold at high altitudes... and the increased body temperature helps to fight off the effects of diseases that would be debilitating or lethal to other mammals. This makes them perfect carriers for the stuff because they don't get sick or die from it, but aren't truly "immune" either. Despite this, being mammals they've more DNA in common with human than a bird, and thus are more likely to carry a cross-compatible disease or virus. Really when you think about it, the same should apply to fantasy flying mammals like Pegasi. Especially bad would be the flying monkeys from Wizard of Oz. Mind all of that's just the current theory for why bats don't seem to react to having rabies or MERS (diseases that have 100% and 30% fatality rates respectively in humans) like other mammals. Oh.  Also the fact they tend to cover themselves in their own excrement while hanging upside down can't hurt the disease factor either.

Sniff I'm not crying, you're crying.

Aaaanyway, Chrom maries Maribelle as intended, and it's on to the funny stacheman arc. Or, y'know... More precisely, it's time for two chapters of funny stacheman arc, before it is interrupted by the storm of paralogues as I recruit the children that will hopefully become a part of the team. Ah well. First, I must pick Henry up. He seems to be the character that has gotten the most dramatic changes from the mod. Namely, he's now a prepromote. No idea what his stats look like. We'll see.

Oh, and Cherche. I doubt I'll use Cherche. Her design is wonky, and I'm already committed to two other fliers because you guys forced me. I also don't care for Gerome. With my space problems, there's simply no way I'm fitting her in.

Damnit, Gregor... Why'd you have to go and make me sad? You were supposed to make me laugh!

In any case, Gregor and Tharja both promote. Gregor to bow knight, Tharja to dark knight. These classes suit them best. Henry can take over nosferatu duties... Once I get a new one. My old tome has 4 uses left lol. I got a little carried away and let Tharja eat the entire armor knight squad in chapter 12. I'm pretty sure the modder removed it from stores, too, which... Well, as it should be lol, the thing is insanely overpowered.

In completely unrelated news, here's the trailer for the full release of Rogue Legacy 2. For no greater reason than I love this game and I wish to share it. There you go.

Also, stupid Youtube dropped an add for Skywalker Saga at the end of the video. Yes, Youtube, I know. I really wish, but I don't want to start until I have the issues sorted out. Otherwise it's just going to be a mess.
