EEVILMURRAY

It's the perfect rope-a-dope

All the texture smoothing in the world isn't going to make this good on a large screen. And how dare they shorten the title, now it will just go "Lying Fairy"

Some random Mario enemies seem to have become racers, like the beetle things and the crabs from the Mario Bros. games. I'm hoping they're just placeholders for to-be-revealed characters

It feels like they've taken the formula for 1-2-Switch, stripped the party functionality, added random trivia bullshit and are expecting money

I'm surprised this wasn't free with the console.

Gradius III is one of the most fun games I've played. Price depending, may be a purchase from me.

It's just going a different direction when in crossing the desert, you suddenly enter a part of it where the enemies are waaaay overleveled. Go back to Strahta and try to get to Oul Raye or whichever way it is through the desert. There's a save point just as you enter it so if you get shafted it's recoverable. I'd have a look at what titles I'm missing out on and if there's any way to make them happen. I wouldn't mind trying to fight as a different character, but I've tried with Hubert and Malik and found their styles not to my liking. One game I wouldn't mind doing a NG+ is Xenoblade Chronicles, because it's kept me at my previous high level and now the concept of the lazy battle system is paying off and I can glide through earlier sections.

I have now! Did try the Zhonecage but just couldn't be arsed. I may actually NG+ at some point, but probably not.

I recall one of the Hyde Park meetups!

I think once you get the tradition JRPG airship trying to do requests is much easier. I don't get though why the unknown desert are is so tough, I haven't been back recently but I tried just before taking on Lambda and I still had to retreat. I had to use the light bottle to get to the ruins, which the enemies inside were much doable. I'm sad I used Pascal to do a puzzle, I thought she was just going to give me a small hint, not solve the whole thing. I was at the top of the Lastalia Shaft, going in circles and I had to take a break because my mind wasn't doing any mental mapping. Did it last night and got to Fodra's core and stopped there. I was going to walk forward and just get to the next save point as it was late, but then I remembered it was longer and decided to hold off. I'm kinda happy I will have some enemies to go through, because I solved that eleth area puzzle beforehand to get one the Tales Tribute Weapons for Asbel, but the stats aren't as good as the other Tales inspired weapon he has.

Going to say Mario All Stars coming before end of the month, April at latest.

I don't recall the side jump going that high, shenanigans! Genius idea on that door though

Because Arceus was set in the past, I was expecting something similar here, like some scandal while the Eiffel Tower was being built or something, or even further back than that. Helping out and watching Jubilife Village grow was most satisfying. But this appears to be set after X and Y(?), unless AZ was a hotelier before he got into the war business. I was looking forward to checking out pre-gameworld landscapes like Arceus and doing the random shit they wanted - except to evolve, the stuff they made you do with Basculegion was bollocks. Instead we have small wild zones which you know will be small and if they have themed ones in this city, like a small active volcano area where the fire types are and everyone just walks on the pavement outside as if poses no danger, s'gonna look stupid. Instead it seems they're doing the usual thing of adding small extra mechanics as if it was something people had asked for, going on roofs of buildings, wow... I always thought something was lacking in previous entries, not just the top floor of buildings. The Onix looked a bit tiny too.

I'll watch the Pokemon Day direct thing when the wife gets home, but looking at the still in that video, Mega Lucario evolving from Riolu?! Knock that shit off.

Maybe you've missed a few other tracks on the other games then?

Were you looking at the "top tracks" bit which only shows you some of the soundtrack?

I guess so?? Hoping Lost Age OST comes soon, make the collection complete.

It's called Trial Road on the app. Worry not, it was the first thing I looked for, because it's such a banger.

I managed to figure it out, was a bad reference from my previous manager. Which I tried to appeal and gave other staff members who could attest to my greatness which was escalated to HR. Their response was to ignore everything I gave them and just go back to the person who gave the reference to begin with, who apparently gave further examples of non-value behaviour, because apparently they only use the names/contacts of those I put on the application portal. I made a data request for all my files, including leave and more importantly, disciplinary files, of which there were none, so I had proof of either innocence on my part, or negligence on theirs. So I applied for another position using a previous manager, got an offer and have made my triumphant return to the NHS, which I am keeping secret from many former coworkers at the moment just on the off chance a certain manager hears and plans some sabotage.

Now being a bit more serious, or attempting to be, with the music, I've now invested in a tenor sax from eBay. Needs a new mouthpiece but apparently a good deal

Urgh, Wallbridge, I think I took less time than I did first time, and was brought to my attention afterwards I forgot to turn the objective tracking back on. Would've saved me much time. I don't know what it is that sets this apart for me, maybe the characters (love Pascal), or the story (albeit a lil samey to other Tales), but the battle system does require more thinking and strategy than just hammering attack constantly. I think I'm not doing as much as the moment because the jobs are trickling through now, I've managed to hit level 5 on quite a few. I feel the dualizing, if not for requests at inns and upgrading weapons, tis a nice form of cooking, although I don't think I've come across a book with a list of the actual recipes of stuff I've been able to make, not just a list of items made. Never bring Ratatosk up again, that game never happened. NEVER I TELL YOU. What could've made it better would be a proper overworld to explore, which Zesteria did an alright job with. I'm only bout 25-30 hours in, sorting out the gun so I can get to Fodra

Since Christmas I've been getting into the cross stitch lark... Got a few designs from Etsy, and looking at more but resisting. My most recent project https://www.instagram.com/p/DFlKbYuiWH8NCNkUxyvXGdbiF3LFZQ2udIgGtM0/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

I'm taking my time going through this, working on getting the most out of the titles, something I neglected/didn't understand properly back in t'day. I was surprised by the extras it offered straight away, give yourself x5 EXP from the off... over 1 million gald... ah'mazin. I only took 300,000 gald and spending as crazy as I could. And increasing inventory size I know right? Very tactical, much more strategy to think about than mindless button bashing.

Phone messing me about so can't find the thread, but Mario RPG £20 at Amazon at the moment. Don't think I'll get it myself, but savings for others!
