Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

Momom Land. You now have to understant the best MOMO. Just let it boom boom!

Rendezvous.

When Stormblood was current my largest disappointment with it was that most of what was supposed to be a "war" expansion didn't feel like it had the proper scale for the armies, except for the Doma segment.

I viewed its story as finally giving answers to stuff like, are we reviving when we fail combat with the Echo and such. Beyond that it felt like a sacrificial expansion that mostly was being put up as a pedestal to place future, better stories on top of, so that people could look back at it and be like, "Holy ***! The foreshadowing!" Which a lot of people are doing now with the khutun or whatever of the Mol tribe describing to us in vague terms what would be revealed in solid terms in Shadowbringers.

Shadowbringers was great, but I think it's a little overrated. In story terms it's much better than Stormblood, but really only as a whole, and then only really 5.0 compared to 4.0. The individual "vignettes" for each of the Scions and what not are ultimately weaker, and they pretty clearly put some of the antagonists on the chopping block to get them out of the way for what they want to do in Endwalkers (Elidibus). The side story content is also worlds weaker, and the denouement for 5.55 is also a lot less compelling than 4.55 with its biggest highlight being Tiamat vs. 4.55's frontline clash with the Garlean Empire and the last of the Scions being Called.

Stormblood was also partially experimental as they tried to tell some of the story through themes surrounding combat and injecting lore/story into combat, confusing a lot of people since usually we story segregate combat and not a lot of people pay close attention to the going ons in solo instances. I think they decided to start implementing the roleplay instances as a way to better convey that they want those battles to stick in our minds too.

lmaoooo I thought the same thing

He's just practicing his words before he joins Team Rocket. You can clearly see that he's a talking Meowth.

Thank uggleplih misa is asleep and we can get a break from the creepy sensualized needle posting

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, Josi! Gawsh! Errr, needle. You get the idea.

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!

EDIT: On a less Lewis Carroll note, I turned my "Interesting Facts" page-a-day calendar today and it read "If you take your age and multiply it by 7, then multiply it by 1443, the product repeats your age 3 times."
The mathematician in me was irritated that they'd have you multiply by 7 and then 1443. I figured I'd save a step and multiply those together first, which produces 10101. No s*** it repeats the same number three times >_>;

Why? Just why?

"What? Hepatitis A is evolving!"

(evolution song)

"Congratulations! Your Hepatitis A evolved into Hepatitis B!"

I feel weirdly interested in the idea behind that. If it can play most stuff as downloaded from Steam I'd probably get a lot more use out of my library than I do now.

I'm a looooong way from convinced, though.

EDIT: LOL I wonder if they made this reveal to capitalize on people's unrealistic expectations of the Switch Pro. Maybe they weren't planning on revealing it for months, but were like "People feel burned by Nintendo, let's give them the Switch Pro they really wanted. Quick! Slap something together, hurry-hurry!"

Nah, I think most people have realistic expectations of the Switch Pro. I'm getting one, but only because it'll be nice to have a game console that can also do my laundry.

Sister sent me a box of Canadian snacks I miss, this week is turning up lol

They're basically a combination of everything. They're really tangy with a potent punch of spices. I actually hate the first one every time, but then they become extremely addicting.

Imagine you were a composer like Beethoven, writing a beautiful story with a 100 complimenting rhythms, movements, and subtlety.

If he was a 1950’s chip addict instead, this would be his 7th symphony.

I'm always going to call it this now.

Where's the keyboard and mouse tho?

I love this man, lol

Finished my set of Aeonics today and made Gjallarhorn to go with one on a whim.

Main - Doji
Mule1 - Horn
Mule2 - Gun

Did it tribox and dual tribox, couldn't do the Helms and t3 reisen NMs by myself, nor WoC/Kirin. Still, was fun. Way less painful than it was back when I made Lionheart.

You could probably do Ony by yourself.
