the Inheritors is the webcomic I mentioned that has tiny shares on tumblr, its main post site, but huge following else where
oc tournaments were more popular on deviantart though?
then it kind of mass migrated to tumblr
then moved out of tumblr again
Yeah, mostly Deviantart
Basically
You had one organizer and a bunch of artists working together on an event
Where due to some contrived reason, each artists OC was put into the same area
With them fighting until only one remains
Each round, the 2 opposing artists drew/animated their version of how it would go, people vote which one they like better, and whoever wins advances
And it was pretty damn cool
it was very, very cool
all tumblr had to do was have a proper ban system for actual bad contents and posts, but with this mass nsfw ban with bad algorithm... nah
Oh it was hella cool
my own dash was very nice
but the rest of the website has the reputation of a hell site
The most known ones were probably ENDZONE and Law of Talos
One of the OCs in Law of Talos being this guy
He was a blast
oh bird
The raven transforms into weapons of all kinds
if only tumblr management made more sense
Honestly the NSFW ban was dumb but it wasnt the end of anything
Far as I can tell, it didn't even reduce the NSFW content that much
It did
people would pick a popular user and en mass accuse that person of fabricated sins and crimes
it was a game to the people doing that, no so much for the prey
they would accuse a jewish transman of being transphobic and racist for example
or david gaider or someone to be homophobic
or someone designing PoC ocs for being racist
I remember the Dream Daddy folks getting grief over a secret ending that wasn't in the game and wasn't meant to be serious
and the "proofs" they post would appear more like proof against the accusations for people with brains
and all this chased away plenty of good users that brought more users to tumblr
writers, comic artists, official staff of significant projects
and tumblr didn't even admit that those social predators existed
instead, they decided that nsfw content was what chasing away investors
Also they ignored the actual racists and homophobes
yep
And Neo-Nazis, unfortunately
You can just lump them in with the racists and homophobes
I like to make a distinction because they are just that crucial bit more awful
it was insane, if a video of a small parrot whistling gets popular, users would report it and it would get deleted or banned
but actual bad people and posts that encouraged mass doxxing of other users? will stay there unless the poster deletes them
I wasn't even exaggerating, I followed many bird blogs, sfw ones of course, that posted almost only birds, and they constantly got in trouble with tumblr staff deleting their stuff for user reported "problematic" contents
if you think it will, it probably will
I assume the bot is a 'delete first, don't ask questions' sort of thing
sometimes it feel like proxy constantly has a knife to my throat and, personally i wouldnt have it any other way
Yeah hence why I didnt
🤖 🗡
I mean, here we have a bot that works the same way
but mods do an excellent job here, so content actually gets filtered the right way
and when people argued against inclusivity, the mods and admins stood the ground and showed them the door
I've only been here for half an hour, so fortunately I have no idea what happened
there if you post the video of a pigeon making a nest and a user reports it as being explicit content, the staff would argue with you when you say it wasn't
like that's a pigeon waving a straw in a nest of socks
does anyone know if pillowfort is good? plenty of tumblr migrated to that
Mastodon is pretty decent
I gotta check it out later
Yeah it’s not so bad but it’s a little weird at first Ngl
It takes a little getting used to but I have friends who swear by it
Is this Mastodon the band or something else?
Oh lmaoooo no it’s like
It’s a social media site
Bc they were talking abt alternatives to tumblr
I forgot about that. I think I remember hearing about it once or twice.
Yeah it’s alright, i didn’t use it much but I thought someone else may like it better than me
I have sudden desire to pet a musk deer
fanged deer just somehow look cuter than antlered deer
OK
Imagine if deer and/or moose
had prehensile antlers
Is that a terrifying thought to anyone else?
that would be genuine terrifying
and there was a canadian comic of deer shaped mucus based beings with prehensile antlers

entertainment weekly change your twitter name
xD
Danny Trejo is a legend
I didn't, do you have a link?
Open Beta arrives September 27. Sean "Day9" Plott and Danny Trejo show off Magic: The Gathering Arena. All the strategy, all the combat, and all the power of...
are they showing off their budget by making the commercial that long
Yeah, he’s so good in it
:o
to be honest I’m still not sure what day9s whole thing is since he does so much different stuff
I know him from hearthstone streams at least
But agreed, he does a little bit of everything
You young’uns knowing Day[9] from hearthstone
Back in my day, he was a StarCraft pro and caster
Hosted the Day[9] Daily, which was his StarCraft II strategy show, for some years
Yeah, he’s from the Justin.tv days
He’s been streaming almost since streaming was a thing
Discovered Transistor through his Saturday stream (which iirc was just called “Day[9]’s Day Off”)
Hes also just a rlly great guy
I think I'd read that he won a MtG tournament too, but his wiki just says this (Which is really awesome):
In May 2013, Plott competed in a Magic: the Gathering Pro Tour as a wild card selection. The same year, he began producing a YouTube series regarding the game called "Spellslingers". In each episode, guests such as Felicia Day and Grant Imahara take on Plott with the hope of emerging victorious in an all-or-nothing match, while teaching the audience the tips and tricks to become better at the game. "Spellslingers" recently released the final episode of its 5th season
Oh yeah I forgot he won that
Hi Guys, how can i reach one of the admins ?
I have an opportunity to discuss with them in regards to the game's localization
Awesome, thank you 😃
He definitely didn't win a Pro Tour
He competed, but the context of "as a wild card selection" just means he got in 'cause he was already well-known
MtG wanted to cash in on his popularity
He'd streamed Magic Online before
ah, okay
And Spellslingers already existed at that point (I think? but who am I to question Wiki)
But Day[9]'s certainly not a Pro Tour calibre Magic player
Lol
Not to knock him or anything, he's definitely pretty good
But not on the level of the pros
Gotcha. I have no clue tbh. I just remember googling him briefly when that commercial first came out, but I loved the commercial because of Trejo xD
i dont know what to do with myself
ive finished ffxiv for now
i
its nice to see that bots are still an issue
Play something else?
'play something else'
once you start ffxiv
you cant stop
theres no end to your torment
821 hours
wheew
Day[9] is mainly a janklord
Yeah, after I finished ShB, I was like... wtf am I supposed to do with myself now?
It wasn't just a great expac, specifically. It was a great game. Just a great story.
Like, ShB is probably my 2nd favorite FF game. Which is saying a lot considering I don't like or care for the vast majority of FF titles.
Did you see the announcement of the condensed story mode coming?
yes! its exciting
I'm also curious about what New Game+ is going to be.
New Game+ is something they announced back at Vegas Fan Fest, I'm pretty sure?
Basically, it'll be a mode that lets you replay through the entire MSQ for funzies.
doing it once hurt enough
There might be special rewards and achievements tied to it, but they haven't gone into details. They'll come at a later time closer to when they actually release it.
oh and! did you guys hear abt the nier raid stuff
app the gear is the same for both genders
Oooh neat!
** get me some catboys in 2Bs dress**
I'm kind of so-so on the condensed story thing, because it's like... I've already gone through the game. So what benefit does that have to me? XD Cool for new players, though.
easier to do alts?
And yeah, I know some people are excited about the gear.
All my alts are at least past HW.
Yeah, I'd say for alts it's a big deal.
im excited for the raids in general
Well, for you it's less exciting then, yeah, but like you said, newer players.
nier is currently number 2 on my fav game list
so this is very exciting yoko taro bless me pls
I'm very interested in seeing what he's come up with. I'm sure the story of it will be good at the very least.
Apparently there's a sequel to NieR in the works, as well.
You mean make us cry
as someone currently going through the ARR MSQ
please
please condense it
i am so tired of being told "sorry, but your princess corrupted crystal is in another castle questline"
Bad story writing
hi
Yeah there might be a sequel of that
if the next nier game means i have to dig more into drakengard ill cry
Automata left us a very open ending
after both gestalt and automata i dont think i can take much more
<.<
You can if you are brave enough and store enough tissue papers
Valve is too busy being video game platform
whispers.... dragon age 4....
is coming out in like, 2025
and I don't trust them to make it good
so
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Honestly, thats probably my biggest issue right now
thats my problem too
im the opposite
every time i get my hopes up for square enix. 90% of the time im let down
But like, I really want Titanfall 3, but I don't trust the elements at respawn to remain as good as they were for titanfall 2
I mean they did well with apex
yeah
but Apex didn't have the gameplay or the story that I was looking for
It basically just had the aesthetics
Same here, but its the only BR game I would even consider playing for a reason
and there's still no guarantee of TF3 despite its success
I hope there will be
I loved titan combat so much
I played entirely too much Last titan standing
Like, actually was in a guild or whatever they were called devoted to that game mode
It was so much more strategic than most FPSes these days
well, for casual settings
Prioritized positioning over reaction time
I'm still kinda proud of that one time I was in a team that was last seed in our in-guild tournament and we got second place >.>
and I still maintain that we would have won if the first place team didn't snoop our coms during the semi-finals
I've got an article on my editor's desk about For-Gamer games vs For-Shareholder games. I frankly don't trust anything For-Shareholder anymore, but a lot of, for lack of better term, Triple-I studios, like Klei and Supergiant and others, are putting out the quality content these days, while the AAA developers are churning out lootbox factories.
What's funny is that I convinced my family to buy some activision stock back when they first bought blizzard
and they've loved that suggestion
and I'm like, "biggest mistake"
"I'm implicitly condoning the mediocrization of videogames"
Oof.
blizzard is such a good example too
Overwatch is the first good game they've put out since WoW and it still is kinda mediocre
I mean... I'd be a lot more lenient on it, if it wasn't for the fact it's a game you have to buy, with lootboxes.
and yes, blah blah, can get through play, and cosmetics, but it's still a cash grab
Yeah. It's not my bag, but I appreciate it for what it is. But I can get that same fix from Paladins <.<
I miss playing it
I'm so out of practice
and none of my friends want to play it
and making new friends in games is hard
but I have a strong love for reinhardt
paladins was my go to for a bit but it’s kinda weirdly complex
If I wanted to shoot for a build I’d play a MOBA or something y’know
Honestly, if you want to make friends to play Overwatch
Jump on Twitch
Hang out in channels, see if you like the person. Smaller channels though
The builds is what I liked about Paladins. shrugs but I don't play it much anymore either. For me it was more the community that killed it.
I'm just waiting for role queue in Overwatch
I keep going in and out of the game, but that seems like it'll fix the problems
Maybe not all the problems, but yeah, I agree that will benefit the game greatly.
also brigitte nerf, thank god
Worried about 2/2/2 for team diversity but I think it’s healthy
Ohh I loved paladins
I was only good at the tree dude and uhh the weird elf shield dude loved him

How To Make A Clock In The Home Machine Shop, Part 11, by Clickspring. There are quite a few fasteners that need to be made for this clock, and I thought it ...
I want to be, like, this guy's apprentice
Make some cute kinetic sculptures
I mean
if you have ideas
I can try and make em
Right now the kinetic sculpture I want to make is a mechanical computer that calculates digits of pi or phi or something and then chimes them out on some bells
lads i spent 145k gil on those boots and i do not regret it at all
I agree with this sentiment, they're truly cute
wait, no, i typoed. 245k. look, sometimes you gotta pay for fashion.
Still worth
yo those boots are so big they count as pants too
if your feet are clean enough, you have just enough limbs for all three heads
(assuming that you need to stand on a leg)
Or you can just bury your face in that soft floofy doggo scalp

unrelated but I found a pretty cute manga on pixiv
it's basically story of a cis girl with her significant other who is an "agender boy "(expressed gender: agender, legal gender: male), it's not how gender system works in most english speaking LGBT cultures but for japan this is very good

Hello all!
👋
Would creating a hybrid between an immersive sim and a spectacle fighter be theoretically possible.
OH WERE WE TALKING ABOUT FE3H
@copper lark blue lions (chinhands)
i love dimitri ... absolutely feral lad. doing his best. 10/10 please put him in therapy instead of in charge of the military.
dimitri and dedue are a rarepair apparently and it baffles me? they're So Married and their conversations are all so tender
i love them
i love golden deer too but blue lions gave me a struggling good-hearted berserker and a gentle giant with unfathomable kindness under a jaded exterior so like what am i even supposed to do
how far in are you 👀 i don't want to spoil you but ... god i love them
ahh i’m not playing it so chances are i’ve already spoiled it for myself lol
heheh same honestly
too broke to play it so i’m using twitter to get information
i spent a while on the wiki
i watched all of dimitris supports because i’m weak
i wish i could like edelgard but
she really. just doesn’t feel right
god same ... i feel like i gotta support my girl but ... 😰
“support my girl” me at flayn
I LOVE FLAYN
i would die for her she’s so good
😭
i love flayn ... i would love ingrid if she were nicer to dedue but it seems like she works through it so ...
oh i don't know lysithea, like, at all 🤔
she’s become a fan favourite
i like hilda too but i know nothing abt her lol
she looks like pink miku so. i love her
oh lysithea is a deer girl! wonderful
i've heard good things about hilda
high femme with a battleaxe is a beautiful character summary
thats all i need to know
ngl the only black eagles member i know is dorothea
and that’s because i wanna date her
YEA
THAT ME AT BOTH DOROTHEA AND MERCEDES
fire emblem kinda fed us well this time ngl
im 😔 about the m/m supports but the f/f supports? wonderful girls ... love 'em
dimitri should have an m!byleth s-support, you cannot change my mind
this is correct
i'm just saying, dimitri canonically doesn't understand/has no particular interest in romancing girls and his paired endings with felix and dedue are by far more intense & romantic than any but one of his canonical marriages
so should claude if he doesn’t
😔 yeah ...
sigh
what are claude's possible paired endings, anyway
i haven't actually looked at them
gonna do that
i dunno :o i’ve only seen him shipped with dimitri tho-
oh my god claude only has one m/m paired ending and it's with lorenz
i ... hear that lorenz gets character development ... but i am doubt
it's a pretty good ending though
||[ ... ] when the two parties met for a summit at Fódlan's Locket, it was none other than Claude, the new king of Almyra, who arrived to negotiate. Some speculated that this meeting had been Claude's scheme all along, but Lorenz and Claude both denied it. ||
||casually manipulate affairs between two continents to arrange a reunion with your BF||
claude is so powerful i love him
dimitri/claude is cute tho i'm just ... i sold my heart to dedue/dimitri in the beginning and now i can't let go of it o3o
yeah ... i really wanna love a cool lady knight but like. oh jeez. ingrid plz
She also has an open dislike of discrimination. who doesn't???
im laughing
oh?
i'm just skimming her wiki page now
she has a top tier paired ending with dorothea
why mad?
her whole character kinda seems like a racist stereotype imo
i love her but i wish they didn’t make her. like that
When's the next Ask Supergiant coming up?
soon id imagine 
yep! its on the 16th
Logan, Darren, and Amir are in if I recall
I went golden deer cuz claude is the best but I can see the appeal in dimitri
see i was gonna go golden deer
bc i’ll be honest i like the people in that house a little bit more
but then twitter grabbed me by the neck and said you will fall in love with dimitri
so here i am
Don't 👏🏾 Let 👏🏾 Society 👏🏾 Tell 👏🏾 You 👏🏾 Who 👏🏾 To 👏🏾 Love 🏳️🌈 
golden deer best house
i’m a hufflepuff and i’m pokemon go team instinct
but
blue lions are truly calling to me
Which Pokémon go is the blue team?
uhh
Mystic?
yeah
They're the one I went with
I wish Pokémon go involved training up Pokémon rather than finding new ones
yellow is the meme colour
I actually talked to some folks from the company who made it about the psychology of the colors.
Yellow is really popular in china(?) because it's a luckier color there.
I do not deny that claim >.>
why does f!byleth have the
belly window in her armour
ma’am you’re ASKING TO BE STABBED
... says someone whose FFXIV character has a window right where the heart is
not from what i can see which is WEAK
Shame
oh? me pairing up byleth and dimitri 5 seconds into the game? i would ne-
dimitri just got a crit on his first attack
that’s my boy
whereas my character Doesn't Even Have Boob Plate Anymore
And I'm excited about that
legit armor ftw
he sure looks pretty tho 
i went all 😍 while logging in just now bc Look At My Gorl
I guess? Not a big fan of blonde hair
she’s so cute 😔
and her amazing boots
listen they better be amazing i paid so much for them
extra special boots
How do they pronounce Dimitri's name in-game, out of curiosity
ovven havw u seen edelgard
they're all classes level 1 so you bet i'm going to use them on every outfit
i don’t know any other way to pronounce dimitri
dim-itri
??
i still wanna know how to pronounce byleth
Well the correct way is basically dmitriii
First I is silent, emphasis on the last one
Happy International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples 🙌
i see
[clutches chest] why is the animation for logging in from an inn room SO CUTE
Also Igor is pronounced totally different in russian
i haven’t used edelgard once this whole fight and i’m not even sorry
another reason i can’t pick the golden deer
i refuse to use bow units
and
claude is a bow unit
cherami leigh and cassandra lee morris are EVERYWHERE
Anyway, let me check Edelgard real quick
...
So youre telling me the guy with a russian name looks german
And the gal with a german name looks russian
Did the art department go through a mixup or something?
Anyway I like her
Her design is cool
She looks like a prettier Franziska with the unfortunate disadvantage of long hair
PRETTIER-
you take that back sir.
no one is prettier than the great Franziska Von Karma you absolute fool
she definitely can
I disagree
But yeah, Edelgard is cute
Not sure about high heels in battle
But then again, Raiden can pull it off, so
Have you tried not letting them die?
that sounds complicated
have you PLAYED fire emblem
enemy units come from the STRANGEST corners to attack the weak units that i’ve deliberately put on the back lines
everyone hates me and i’ve been playing for 20 minutes
Man
Brayflox's longstop has been super nice to me, loot wise
now all I'm missing are cavalry arms and cavalry helm
please i know i’ve just started the game but please let me kiss dimitri
brayflox's longstop is CURSED
i've been in there twice and had issues both times
the first time, i was tanking and the healer DC'd at least once on every boss so i'd die horribly with no idea why until i realised
the second time
new fire emblem tells you where enemies are likely to attack which is nice for that
I mean
I died this last run
and didn't know wtf I was doing my first run
also in all fairness there's like, 1 level 30 paladin spell and its not that good.
s/full /~~full~~ long
also reminder that if you see someone with a mentor status being horrible to sprouts you can legally report them
why isn't there a repair everything button and instead I have to scroll through 6 categories?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
are you repairing your own stuff
there is a repair all button
for my own stuff?
yeah, but sometimes I switch gear n stuff
I don't want to go through the categories
is my point
then i think there’s an all ? category
i’m not sure because i only repair the stuff i have equipped
I forgot, does FFXIV do the standard durability system where items lose durability whenever you fight?
yeah
"Go to this place literally across the map and come back" "I spent 1k gil on teleports" "Ok, here's 300 gil"
No I meant the repair system
it all started in diablo
actually probably before then
but that's when I first remember it
I imagine so, its just weird
Because its not fun, but its also not really realistic
The original game design perspective was to incentivize you coming back to town
because otherwise players wouldn't
Doesnt vendoring trash already kinda do that?
what need for money would you have if you didn't need to repair stuff
"Money can be exchanged for goods and services"
Ok that also always was weird to me
The best example is SWTOR
There is all this hubbub about how lightsabers are exceedingly rare, and you forge the lightsabers you use yourself, and they represent a spiritual connection to the force or something
10 minutes later you loot a better lightsaber off of a spider
Wait lightsabers were supposed to be rare?? Do they say that for both jedi and sith players? I don’t remember lol
Mmhmm.
At least thats the lore as I understand it
Also ugh, I got new headsets and the sound quality is way worse
But my old model kept breaking and I just wasnt up for that
Oh, forging the lightsaber is part of the force users' storylines, iirc. Been ages since I played though.
But yeah, next thing you know you're visiting Bob's Used Lightsaber Emporium on Bumtuckooine.
ffxiv full edition is currently free until the 16th 
wait nevermind
for people who already had an inactive account
IM SORRY
It's okay Syd!! 😄
All the FFXIV talk here..... has really done some work on convincing me to play it eventually.
It’s making me want to start another free trial character hjcnghbfhj
But full edition doesn't include ShB, right?
@opaque quail There's a level-locked free trial, so it's not like you've anything to lose by trying it.
It lets you go all the way to level 30 too I think
yeah, in all the base classes
Good to know!!
free til level 35 at the moment!
which i milked for all it was worth
basically, there's the free trial, then there's the base game, and then you buy shadowbringers and it includes all the previous expansions
Man I am not looking forward to flying tomorrow
Why does the most convenient method of transport have to be the most terrifying
Oh its not about comfort
Its about the terrifying aspect of being high in the air
At least I have a new Grendel album to listen to
Would it be less scary if there were no windows
No
Fair
Dunno, for me it's definitely the comfort
In a plane for 12 hours, too boring and uncomfortable to be scared for me
I enjoy turbulence because it breaks the monotony
the worst thing about planes isn’t being high in the air it’s being trapped in a metal box with like 100 other people all assigned to specific seats and one bathroom
Yeah I cannot share that experience
Meh, I can handle that as well
I specifically hate the fact that youre so high
I mean that’s fair
If it's any consolation, you would die just as hard travelling those speeds at 100ft up
Man Idk about the new Grendel stuff
heights are difficult to deal with but I always remember the fact that statistically it’s safer than a car so
Its good but its such a different style
It doesnt feel aggressive enough
I mean, I just wish I could travel everywhere on train
Trains are nice
trains ARE nice
Like, no joke
I want to ride a train some day
If it werent murder on the environment and expensive as all hell
Come to london you will quickly change your mind 😔
Id live on a train
They really are. I've travelled from Chicago (or farther) to Portland 3 different times. It's a lovely trip.
Like I was on one of those super-fancy trains once
Yknow, the cross-european ones that are pricey?
Oh man there are fancy ones too?
It was heaven
I'd love to see the USA put more resources into some of the train technology in asia.
Mmh, Ive heard stories of US lack of public transport
Here in germany, you can get almost anywhere with public transport
It’s mostly just the bus that’s available where I am
Granted its slow
And not always reliable
But it works
Speaking of which, I have a funny train-related story my latin teacher told me
She was stuck in berlin since there was endless delay on all trains, and as an apology the company DB (Deutsche Bahn, they manage trains here) gave out free books
Including "on the shortness of life" by Seneca
lol
Ok so I looked up Byleth
The window I get, but
Why is it shaped like an arrow pointing at her chest
you gotta look
Also Ingrid looks cute
Like being mean is a minus in your book
you know me well
Why fiction character gotta be rude
It seems I do
Well, I think thats enough aggressive music to last through the plane flight
Nothing suppresses anxiety like music you can headbang to
Hopefully you have enough room to headbang...
Well I said can
nvm edelgard killed me
i think dimitri might die too
...
in hindsight i thought i was being epic
cries like a baby
my tactics suck app
dimitri didnt die
fgdhfjdbgfd
Unovven, I saw someone recently with the galaxy brain theory that Byleth got all the "bad female design" aspects to spare all of the students. Which..... I am grateful for.
im grateful too
Yeah.... they’re kids
theyre too precious to have to go through that
Yeah, but even post timeskip they're not bad. P h e w.
Their professor will protect them from ANYTHING that they can.
isn't there a DLC to dress your female Byleth like a normal person?
i have seen that meme edit
Thank u ms byleth
also uhhh can i make students join my house
To have their professor in uniform.
yes you can
Honestly if it werent for the fact that I dont like Fire Emblems gameplay at all
because female Byleth has weird head proportions

Id actually check out FE3
That's the one!!
FE3H I mean
Because damn battle academia is my softspot when it comes to settings
sorry i nuked it for the T word lmao
Yeah f!Byleth really is carrying all the design weight in this game. Can we get Fs in the chat for Byleth.
🇫
anyway the students are picky and won't join unless you have, like, stats
except for sylvain
did you know that if you're playing f!byleth, sylvain will join you the moment you ask
sylvain.. is in my house....
F is incidentally also what she gets for her combat-appropriate clothing grade
Yeah, at first I was like wow I already got one but
Some changed REALLY suddenly to accepting on the week before the timeskip happened. But apparently a lot of media coverage on the game has been wrong about how to guarantee recruitment?
guess i gotta get gains so i can convince hilda lysithea and dorothea to join my house
anyway syd you can have dimitri if i can have claude
I’ve heard b rank support is easiest
i am about to steal all of claudes female friends tho, im sorry
So, I got a question
There are plenty of pretty people to go around, phew.
Did FE fall victim to the persona trap of "dating simulator that has pesky bits of gameplay inbetween"?
I like the green haired nap guy
I actually love.... every team character in this game. They've all had a lot of depth in their interactions.
i wouldnt say so,,?
i mean that depends on your opinion
Uno, that's a HUGE debate in the fandom actually.
I see
this is technically a shin megami tensei FE, not persona FE
Dislike lorenz personally
Awakening introduced the mechanic, Fates doubled down, and 3H actually pulled back on it a lot.
Though for the record, I still love Persona
personally, i feel like they really wised up when they decided not to put kids in this one lmao
i mean. child units from pairings. you know what i mean.
Yeah
awakening it made plot sense and i loved the kiddos, fates was
I dont actually
h
I think they've been trying to find the right balance of how to make you care about all of the characters, rather than having like a core 8 you always use and ignore the others.
in awakening and fates, if you have units S support you can recruit their children
Relationships do a lot of heavy lifting there
in awakening it made sense because the kids were all time travelling back from a failed future to help you save the world
Fates had... pocket... dimensions.......
in fates, the explanation was "uhhhh we dropped them off into other realms and came back for them when they grew up"
babyrealms........
That actually kind of reminds me of that LOGH plotpoint with children adopted by military officers
But NO unit kids in 3H, just regular timeskip and the tragedy of fighting your former friends. 💃
Fates was wild and had THREE versions
im shocked that im so attatched to a main character in 3 houses,,,
my first fire emblem husband was stahl 😔
And they wonder why it didn’t sell as well
Wasn't the total recruit number for Revelations like.... 36 people or something?
Too Many.
me, playing on casual because I always worry about losing people: I Have Made A Mistake.
ME
Mood
God I cant get used to this headset
i reset 3h earlier because i thought i upset jeralt too much
Sennheiser knockoff, you ruined me with your superior sound quality
hey did you know that in 3 houses if/when you kill one of your aforementioned former friends, the music cuts out like when one of your own units dies in classic mode
🙃
Even with recruiting in 3H, the number has been manageable. Most of my united are comparable, though some have had TERRIBLE stat growth. Anyone else have an Annette that just like Can't raise more than two stats every level?
I DID know that thank you Sparrow.

The time rewind really helps ease into classic
(RIP Lorenz and Ferdinand.)
Because you can still hit a panic button
Some fun facts about death in 3H: when you kill former students, other students from their house that you recruited will talk about it and be Real Sad.
so the shin megami tensei's "kill your friend on the left" is still in effect in 3H huh...
When you go into a battle that a student WOULD have been in if you hadn't recruited them, they'll point that out afterward. Ashe was like "you would have fought me there if I weren't in your house."
oh god that's brutal
Live In Your Choices
Caitlin Do You Want Me To Cry
Crying Is Cathartic
i should point out i don't even own a switch so all my knowledge is secondhand
Nintendo wants me in therapy
so can I just recruit all other students so they don't die
Correct!
or is there a limit
You can't recruit the heads of the other houses.
or their uh
And I'm preeettty sure you can't recruit Edel or Dimitri's seconds.
Dedue and.....
The ominous one.....
hubert
Theoretically besides them you could have SO MANY
i dont like how he stared at me in the opening
Hubert!
Oh yeah, what happened to the big Trails of fan here
HIS NAME IS HUBERT THAT MAKES HIM EVEN MORE SCARY
cuz you get certain npcs too
Dr Badtouch was it I think?
Yeah but you can recruit Hilda, who I believe is "closest" to being Claude's second.
oop
hilda is pink miku and im not kidding when i say thats the only reason i want her
I find IS's obsession with "pretty girls who pretend to be useless" really interesting.
Miku... but with axe
it makes sense actually because the golden deer are from the leicester alliance who are kinda...... backstabby
They're always axe wielders too.
Tbh
I do that too but in my case I'm maybe a pretty guy who pretends to be useless and dumb? and I used to get called out for that a lot
syd, i could answer that but it would be a spoiler
I never like the traits which are like “stand next to x gender”
Jeralt never says how old he is, all the player-knowledge is determined by Byleth-knowledge.
that too

Almost as good as the almighty janitor trope
so I like characters who act useless but actually have insane growth and stats
like Lucius/Ruthea from FE7
Ya'll get Cyril? He's the commoner-bonus character of 3H.
sickly androgynous monk guy who volunteers slaughtering your enemies, and succeeds
i have only just started playing ;;
Also if anyone here hasn't: Recruit Felix. He destroys All.
ive seen him tho
Cyril is PURE
Okay then SYD for the love of god get Felix.
hes in my house already!!!
Blue Lions 5ever.
blue lions for the win babey
also: lysithea gets a magic sword attack with her hidden talent which SLAYS
i just looked him up and i wanna ruffle his hair
Ohhhh Syd get ready for PAIN (40 hours from now)
so Cyril and Felix huh I'll note them down
I can't decide which house yet, they all look amazing
Well Cyril is not as crazy good as Felix, Felix like..... his Crest activates constantly, and I feel like I get almost as many crits as I do normal hits from him.
blue lions and golden deer are the only Valid houses, black eagles please leave
probably Golden Deer for me though because Claude looks my type
I really enjoy Marianne cuz relatable
"dorothea really values the following stats:
- Cha"
Wait Ashe is the name of a guy?
have y'all seen/heard the seteth memes
good talk
I'm intrigued by Black Eagles, and I think I see EXACTLY how they're gonna make each house the "good guy" in their routes. But having to fight Dimitri;;;;;;
Ashe is unisex name but Ashe is male

(Dorothea makes a great Dancer when you have access to that class
)
hNNNBg dancer characters are my weakness
Yeah... during each introduction they’re like “but there’s a bit of DARKNESS to their face...”
see: olivia fire emblem awakening
the voice actors in 3h are a gift to the world
Mercedes is a killer dancer too
Oh is that the VA reading memes?
Mercedes as a Gremory is absolutely Destroying.
oooh
seteth is almost as scary as hubert
yes
She has CRAZY good resistance and defense (for a spellcaster) so she's Not Delicate.
I’ll have to remember that
I love when VAs do that
No glass, just cannon.
At best we get the dummy thicc meme out of it
i wanna date mercedes but my big dumb brain is telling me i HAVE to kiss dimitri RIGHT NOW
I was not okay with Olivia's outfit but I loved Ninian
Why not both???
claude's va is my favourite because the madman actually dangled upside down in his video announcing who he would be voicing
LMAO
...in character I guess?? for claude va
Seteth is amazing because have you EVER seen a more "that guy is voiced by Matt Mercer" character design?? NO. But it's NOT.
bc everyone made fun of claude being upside down on the game cover
bernadetta really values the following stats
- bow
LOL ur right caitlin
Seteth is literally just green Matthew Mercer but he was already in the last two games prominently enough to have characters talk to each other in Warriors. He was too powerful.
A VERY SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE #FireEmblemThreeHouses COMMUNITY! #FireEmblem #FireEmblem3Houses https://t.co/9jSMflYnwB

He looks like anime Matt
also! is the fact that some people cant hit an A support with others to do with the timeskip or like
can some people just not be friends
That is a VERY good video. I love the VAs, full marks.
Oh MAN YEAH SO.
I found recently and TRAGICALLY.
they went back to the older style of supports in this game i think, with not everyone going to an A
That Marianne and Ashe can't start growing supports post-timeskip.
And I feel like.... they'd really like each other.
So please..... succeed where I failed.......
Y’all while we’re talking- tea parties are THE BEST
oh no now i have to listen to edge of dawn again
This Is A Tragedy where is marianne-
She's the tired looking quiet girl who I want to hug constantly. Blue hair, bags under her eyes. 
Horse girl
by the way i'm not saying i ripped the full version of edge of dawn off of youtube before it could get taken down again for the third time in a week, but, i'm also not not saying that
so now i can have it on loop
OH i really love the wyvern designs in this game
im not very good with flying units but
i want wyverns
wyverns are adorable
wyverns are very good.... Switch does wonders
also who let all these cats into the school
when can we have enough oxygen in real life to support real life wyverns
wyverns are big bois and i love them
im not complaining, i wanna know so i can thank them
we can't pet the cats in 3H school though
a crime
that's like serving us dishes that we can't eat
like you are lactose intolerant and you don't have your enzyme pill and someone offers you a giant bowl of extra gratin mac n cheese
you mean the handsome men thing
yeah
Tbh, I’m not too upset with that because it’s played like a “oh no she never gets the man” joke but I could see where it’d be weird haha
Manuela is at least like.... a retired opera diva. I love her, she's ridiculous. She's VERY much the dramatic theater type.
im scared im not gonna get any stats up high enough to recruit anyone T_T
ohh i love her too i just. oh ma'am...
You will!! It's okay!! Honestly it's great to recruit people, but don't worry too much about it if you can.
It took me a few in-game months to really get a full grasp of all the mechanics and options.
[lies down] guys i'm so sad about my mouse finally breaking, i wanna play more ffxiv but it's gonna eb so tough actually having to press the shift and alt keys with my tiny, tiny hands,,
i have babie hands
i can't comfortably reach past, say, 5 when i have my hand on wasd
well...... 6, really. but that's pushing it
i have hypermobility,, so i can i just dont like to
how to tell how often i use a skill: how close is it to the left side
i can justify why shift+1-6 are where they are
i do not understand people with neat huds
i try to keep 'related' skills paired up
so for example, bloodletter and rain of death are on the same number because they run off the same cooldown
the two dots are on the same number as well
i need to rework my hud a little, actually, i don't like having to flick my attention between the top and bottom of the screen in combat
he's a healthy boy
Please tell me he does the Armstrong thing
Where his shirt is off every time he goes off-screen for a second
Oh right weapon durability is back
why is felixso strong omg
I think he actually has the most in-game character reasoning for it. 😄
But yeah Felix OP. I've been watching as he steadily climbs the "most recruited" list.
Yeap! Though I find combat arts are more situational rather than overall "better" than regular attacks.
ohh fair
im lowkey scared of felix he just used his crest twice in a row what does that even mean
oh now hes dead
oops

Oh there's a bit of change to that process too!! I'm not sure on the rules of activation, but you can gain Support in battle even when they're not directly next to each other. Also if you do a crit in battle/kill the enemy, there's a chance that a nearby ally will make a comment on the map view screen afterward like "nicely done!"
But I've had the support ❤ pop up when characters aren't directly adjacent, so it's been a bit less punishing to have characters acting independently.
ohh thats better at least?
i def use pairing and switching units alot
i will have to adapt
Yeah, "adjutants" are a version of that in this game, but you don't have access to that at the very beginning of the game. Basically before the battle starts, you can assign units to be each other's partner and they'll do one of three things to help that character: attack, heal, or defend. I'm not sure I'm a fan of it yet, tbh! But I feel like I'm missing a lot of the possible depth of some of these mechanics. First playthrough and all. 
Since we were talking about FE anyway
@ionic viper Seems like you'd be a prime candidate for ESDF setup, if you can get used to it. And/or a nice gaming mouse.
i've tried esdf before but honestly my hands just gravitate back to wasd
plus, esdf puts my hands even further out of reach of the shift key
I can definitely recommend gaming mouse
Ive got an old Logitech G500 I think it was
This thing is a lifesaver
Even when one of the buttons as well as the scrollwheel press broke its just too invaluable to swap
Comfortable as all hell as well
G600, it seems
But yeah, I can 100% recommend that mouse
Yeah, that's what I have. I got it specifically when I was playing FFXIV
Because f'n RDM
Ironically, my problem is my hand is too big for it xD
I dont believe perfection can be achieved, but this mouse is pretty damn close to it
I got it when I started playing GW2 seriously for a bit
Agreed. It's a top notch mouse.
Engineer had too many buttons to press with just my left hand
Mmhmm.
Doenst help that the f keys on my keyboard are kinda far
i'm probably just going to pick up another deathadder tbh
And they can be quite reasonably priced, too.
