(Missed this) congrats on finishing the game. If you're doing post-game, T-elos is now avaliable in the summoning pool.

Ah, yes, have lots of Core Crystals to do another pulling session. Now, whether it's a fruitful one...

T-elos has like, significantly a higher rate than everybody else. Shouldn't be too hard to get her.

Ah, that's nice. Well, I'm done playing for today, so I'll check my chances tomorrow.

Oh, another Crash 3 alpha build leaked!?

Ok i got time. Day 4 of my Spain trip.

• Day 1
• Day 2
• Day 3

As always, i am tagging @Saint Rubenio for this and @Interdimensional Observer.

Day 4: Vigo/Baiona

Spoiler

An overhead pic i took on the way to Vigo. 

and here we are. Vigo. I'm not kidding when i tell you this whole place reminded me of Caracas.

After reuinitng with aunts and cousins, we took a bus to Baiona.

this isn't Baiona but rather what i like to call the Bumblefuck Nowhere Regions. I was genuinely caught off guard by how dilapidated all this looked tbh.

Anyways we got there in the end. Baiona.

Seeing the Atlantic from the other side was a real treat.

 Eh, Play Station 1s are fairly cheap now a days (and I think PS2, and PS3 are both backwards compatible with PS1 games as well for more options).

IIRC PS2 will play PS1. At least mine will

My PS3 will play PS2, but I once heard not all the PS3s would. Dunno if mine will play PS1 so now you kinda got me curious 

[Acacia Sgt]

Initial models of the PS3 could play PS2 games. But like the GBA slot in NDS models, it was soon phased out.

My vague memory on the matter is that only the first generation of PS3 were backwards compatible with PS2 games, but all the PS3 were backwards compatible with PS1 games. Fun little fact, the PSP is also natively able to run PS1 games, you just have to get the game into a file format it can read, no emulator needed.

Hmm, I'm tempted to leave Kite Kid until later... but it's an awesome fight so I would want to fight him now. Hmm...

[Acacia Sgt]

Okay, I think that's enough. Just a few things left to do and it's back with Captain Space Boyfriend. But that's for next time...

[Interdimensional Observer]

Ya know, I've always gotten cleanliness products (shampoo, bath sponges, etc.) as filler gifts for Xmas, which I'm fine with. But, this is the first year where I've gotten "crop preserver", or as it's listed in Spanish- desodorante intimo. Or as it's also listed in English right on the bottle- "⚽⚾🏀🎾 deodorant".😆

A few eShop cards were given as well, not sure what I'll use them on. I could save them for XC3's DLC ...but I still don't have a clue when I'll get to to the main game.😅

Are you kidding me, and miss my chance to sass my parents for using me as the designated driver so they can indulge in a bit of wine-dipped sponge cake?

The anglophone world's "fruit cake" is not a sponge cake, usually. And you don't just dip it in wine, you brush on some rum or brandy. Some people "feed" their fruitcake their choice of booze once a week for months on end (teetotalers can use fruit juice instead). And yet other soak the dried and candied fruit that fill the cake's innards in yet more run and brandy. Part of the reason fruit cake can last upwards of years without spoiling.

Also, there is an old English spiced apples & alcohol punch-styled beverage called "wassail", once very popular around the holidays. Pieces of bread/toast or little cakes would be placed in the big wassail bowl. and if for some reason you were to be honored during the Christmas celebrations, as part of the old traditions, you would be given the right to eat the cake/bread that been sitting in the big bowl of booze for probably hours on end. Yippee.😐

-I know you didn't mean any of the above, all I'm sayin' is the best thing about alcohol is the great history that humans have given it.🍻🤓

Xenosaga about to suffer the same fate as Xenogears (gacha crossovers only).

It's getting KOS-MOS and three character costumes. -Yet they're including chaos instead of Shion.😂

Okay, the obligatory one male rep explains The Boy Without Limelight. But still, Shion for the second time got bumped out of a crossover appearance by the Kossy-Telly-MOMO trio. Though I completely get it. It's also only dawning on me now that Shion and Kalas really need to have a nice little conversation together.

I can now say i own Xenogears physically.

Beautiful.😄

But it is a sign i should replay the game this coming year. Last i played it was in 2018.

I only played it once, and I think that's enough for me.😅 I'll stick to consulting the Internet when I need to refresh my memory of things.

Happy holidays folks. I today learned that apparently that during the screenplay of the musical 1776, President at the time Nixon forced the stage production to keep out the song "Cool Considerate men" because he saw it as a critique of the modern right wing.

This is up there as being one of the funniest Nixon facts for me now.

The tier list maker didn't include her, actually. I would've had to give her her own tier, too: "Has probably my favorite Gregor support so kudos for that."

I'll write a three page essay on her someday.

We must have our climatic duel with our Berwicksign and Xenosign, respectively.

PSP also has no region lock at all like many systems of that time did.

I am pretty sure this can crash some systems lmao

Time for the post Drunkmas extravaganza!

The Tear Ring Saga couples do seem to work for some people at least.

I think this was a newer part of the city yeah.

I said it before though but you can really tell which city does and doesn't get that tourism money. Which is why i liked Vigo the most. Real comfy place not obviously bogged down by tourism. Public transit could use some work though.

What's hilarious is that across the Atlantic ocean, around the same latitude, is Nova Scotia

the complete opposite climate. Gulf Stream does wonders for y'all.

It's the day after Christmas, and my first Nat Geo History issue has already arrived.:

Hello. 

A memorable first cover.

One of the great things about the Latin American Wars of independence was that it got the Spaniards to start shooting at each other instead of the Natives for once. We should bring it back.

Honestly Rasputin totally feels like a Doctor Who addition to history, you know what I mean? Like If I didn't know anything about Russian history and you told me that Doctor Who added a crazy peasant wizard man into the Russian Revolution that wasn't there before I would believe you.

I must clarify something: When I said "homeland", I kinda sorta forgot Armagon was Venezuelan.

I meant the US lol

Well, you know what they say. Fiction has to worry about making itself have sense. Real life... does not.
