So I'm playing the new Fire Emblem and I'm liking it for the most part but I'm wondering if I'm alone in feeling like this game is kind of... Apologizing for being Fire Emblem?

I liked Three Houses which had a lot of not-tactics activities too but they felt more cohesive and attached to the tactical gameplay, mechanically and story-wise, to me.

Fold in the fact you can skip an entire third of the game Fortune's Weave, the third that is the most tactics heavy, and it leaves the impression that they're worried they might put too much tactics in their tactics game? Which feels odd to me.

Like, there's all these not-TRPG mechanics like the half-baked third person dungeon crawling and JRPG-style "clash" battles, and each major fight at least in part 1 has a *huge* amount of downtime between it during which you're encouraged to do largely not-TRPG things, and it all feels...

Born and raised in Western Massachusetts (so kind of New Englander with a lot of Upstate New York influence), lived all over the country (Virginia, Ohio, Washington state, Illinois, Massachuseets), and this seems to peg me as some strange mix of a Californian and a New Englander.

here's a fun question for you: what would your fursona be if it had to an animal that *actually lives in your area*? hard mode: no domesticated animals with a consequentially global range--that would mean, for example, canid and ungulate species have to be species actually found in the wild

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

Pet peeve here as a polyamorous person, and I know next to nobody reads my posts so I'm probably screaming into the void, but I have seen multiple times on here someone discussing a poly relationship, whether theoretical or actual, and someone else chiming in to say that's not poly

My own poly is an incredibly complex web with a few branches and leaves and triangles and the occasional square and etc and that shit poly af. To me "open" just means you have one committed monogamous relationship and a number of casual flings. These relationships I mention are not casual.

Why are we deciding X counts and Y doesn't? Are the people trying to decide that for us even poly?

Specifically this seems to happen when the relationship is not everyone-is-with-everyone-else, with me seeing at least one person claiming a poly where X is with Y who is also with Z but X is not also with Z is "open" and not poly And like, since when?

So this is the LONGEST of long shots, but does anyone have a complete archive of the online manga Your Wings Are Mine by Aoi Hayashi? The wayback machine doesn't have it archived properly (loads of pages missing). I read it up until ch. 6 back in the day & would love to revisit it & read the rest.

something I literally only noticed until recently is HB was kinda a content farm in it of itself back in it's prime, like 'oh Scooby Doo's really popular? How about MORE SCOOBY DOO! Scooby doo but he's a shark, a ghost, a buncha kids, a talking car!'

Politically I am deeply democratic socialist and find myself becoming only more so with age, with ever increasing resentment for capitalism, corporate culture, and the mistreatment of the queer community I am part of.

My chosen name comes from the Yoshi's Island level Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy, and was originally a joke but just kind of became my name. My current avatar is a Fuzzy. My dead name is not hard to find but also none of your business.

Musically, I listen to a wide selection of electronic music genres and artists too numerous to list, as well as a lot of 90s alt rock, 80s new wave and adjacent bands, 70s and 60s classic rock, and video game music including covers and remixes. My favorite genre is French House.

I watch TV and movies somewhat infrequently though I collect them for my polycule's media library. These days most of what I do watch is anime, largely cozy things with one of my partners.

I play FFXIV off and on, and main Red Mage. I also play a lot of strategy games, and particularly love Grand Strategy games. Some of my favorite games, in no particular order * Chrono Trigger * Stellaris * Persona 5 Royal * Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse * FF 6 and 7 * Mass Effect Trilogy

I deeply enjoy jailbreaking consoles and console and PC emulation and frequently lurk these communities.

I'm involved, though not as a developer, in the MegaZeux game creation system project (largely as a packager and community manager) and the 86Box PC emulator project (largely as a systems administrator).

My favorite game console is the SNES. The first game console I ever had that was mine was a Sega Genesis. The first computer I ever used was a Packard Bell 486. I am a huge fan of the games of Atlus and Square Enix, though especially in terms of Square Enix largely of their older work.

Hi, I'm Dizzy. Occasionally Dizz to people who know me very well. I'm a genderfluid enby, careening headlong towards being 40. I'm polyamorous and have two wonderful partners. I develop games, tools, and ROM hacks as a hobby, though my public output is low. I rarely finish things.

I'm autistic, disabled, have Bipolar Type 2 and both generalized and social anxiety. My hobbies are gaming, collecting old computers, game consoles, and electronics, the already mentioned software development, and I've been trying to dabble more into music.

Worth noting through my extensive travels in the US the only time I've ever seen people street racing in broad daylight on a major highway was in Atlanta.

Bombed at the box office, critics constantly complain about it being too "maudlin and sentimental", but that's exactly what I love about it. It touched my heart. It is, in my mind, one of the greatest if not the greatest films Robin Williams was ever involved in. One is glad to be of service.

Bombed at the box office, bombed critically, bombed so hard it killed an entire franchise before it could ever start, but it grossed $1B in my heart.

I truly can't put into proper words how much this movie means to me. People who imprinted hard on The Princess Bride like my dad did often have a habit of using "As you wish" to mean "I love you". I constantly use "One is glad to be of service" to mean similar.

Worth noting my wife also loves Bicentennial Man and has since before we got together so I know I picked the right one.

This is random but I figured it's probably worth mentioning considering the amount of people using venmo or cash app to seek mutual aid on this site, but like... There are a lot of people I'd donate to but I can't because venmo/cashapp considers my post-transition/marriage name as invalid.

My point being if these are literally the only things keeping you alive please diversify. Ko-fi, Patreon, idc, do not rely as (largely) trans people on transphobic companies to be your source of income.

It's worth noting, specific to this, that while PayPal has its own history of being a shit to minorities and is owned by the same people as venmo, it is, in my anecdotal experience, marginally more willing to deal with things like legal name changes and non-matching bank info
