The shape language of these designs is fascinating. Like it feels it would have come out right after Rockman 8 and &Forte, as the designs look like the specific type of rounded of those two games mixed with X5 and the Z series.

You gotta reverse that priority

Been busy. You?

I absolutely recommend this, but go the extra mile and get a swing arm you can mount to the desk if at all feasible, it's a game changer as well.

Ody's already cursed. It won't have much effect, if any.

Do you think they'll use Maaya Sakamoto for Motoko again after Atsuko's passing or cast someone entirely new?

I thought this was going to end with "see if anyone notices because it's Pittsburgh and it's already odd."

She's got a very Miss Pauling from TF2 vibe going on.

Some of those are of Quattro Bagina, and he insists he's not Char, and would that man lie to you?

As for Fiore, I always figured it was the southern spike of Hokkaido that's not really included in Sinnoh. It's definitely very very small.

Orre is Nevada and California, if anything.

Not true. Some just vanish from existence without explanation.

As a tall people, I can see the use of it. Even if you just used it to hold a portable monitor and not a tablet, that's useful.

She gave it to him because she needed the time to run Capsule Corp.

He was neither a hack nor a grand visionary. He saw an opportunity, took it, and as a result a lot of headache came about, though most of that is on the still shambling remains of Harmony Gold rather than his idea to mash up three series to fit the arbitrary syndications standards.

He's weird and obsessive about other series too, like his bizarre, ever shifting genealogy chart for Ace Attourney.

He also has a weird age gap ship involving Pearl.

He's also really creepy about his shipping of Bartz and Krile from FF5. The thing is I don't think any of it's a bit. His brain's just broken, compelling him to obsess over things, regardless of how little sense they make.

This weekend I was in NYC and New Jersey, in sub freezing temps and a snowstorm. On Monday, Spouse and I drive home through said storm and its remnants to find it was 60 degrees warmer where we live and I'm wearing shorts in February.

All three stories are chock full of interesting lore

I'll take 5

As in there must technically be a presentation and not just a rick roll?

Is that Jill on the far right?
Also is Lightning trying to hit on Tifa? I wouldn't put it past her.

Dang, I thought it had to have ended after 30 years. I have friends and coworkers who weren't even alive when the series started. That's dedication.

So would you say the case has finally been closed on translating Detective Conan?

This is why you need a triptych on hand at all times. You're letting some many opportunities go to waste. Even if you never get around to it, just going "I have this handy triptych to explain" means you win the conversation.

In their bags. Again, wife is entirely oblivious and thinks I have been missing blatant signals, only for me to reveal my devious purchases when we got home that evening.

Wife needs to use the bathroom. I spring into action. I say sorry and interrupt the convo at the register and say "I need to buy these ASAP." Friends are confused why I am hiding games purchases until I tell them why then they offer to help by smuggling my new games out-

Wife and I are in a local gaming store. Wife's friends are chatting about FFXIV with the person at the register, so Wife goes around and shows me games as a hint. I pretend not to take the hints, but grab two games and hide them as we walk around the store, looking for my opening.

And after the show we went to go get ice cream, so I have to make sure it doesn't fall out while we walk to the parlor and back. Finally I get it home and can stash it. Now, that was the first time. The second was two weeks later.

So not wanting to give the game up, I have to take my purchase, and hide them. I quickly put the socks and my receipt into a pants pocket, and fold the sweater up into a smaller form factor and hide it in my own sweater on my back. Throughout the entire second act I hide them.
