I've finished ARR and have to be at least halfway through the in-between quest stuff. My oh my do they have you running all over the place and doing menial tasks. The thread it's running along has been interesting enough, at least, but I just feel like I'm doing busy work most of the time.
I am sorry you have to endure it, but I can at least guarantee the payoff in the end is worth it:

Just starting the Heavensward questline. The end of the 2.55 story was truly amazing and horrifying.

And Shiekah can guarantee it too.

Heavensward hype, Shiekah! I love Ishgard. Its always what Ill consider home in-game.

Ngl, most of the marriage candidates in Stardew Valley aren't great for me, and that's because of exactly what you noted -- they're almost all kids. (If someone is around or especially below 20 years old, they may as well be a kid as far as marriage goes.)

Drafted a UB deck Friday night. Thought I was up a creek because I only got one Secretkeeper... then realized I could just win with my insane control deck that had Lochmere Serpent, Stonescales Serpent, and Gadwick as well as two Order of Midnight like a normal fucking person.

Sleep dep is a thing, folks.

Yeah, I dont think there are any normal trials (thus far) packed to the brim with mechanics like that. And apparently you can fall off the edge during the transition, too?

Happy New Year, everyone.

i just did Titania (ShB spoiler) last night and had the worst tank I think I have ever seen in an MMO ever. This potato-IQ DRK managed to wipe us twice and nearly a third time by:
-Not tanking the add during the transition that has a tankbuster
-Provoking the boss to face the rest of the party right before the boss did a massive cleave and killed all the other DPS (I was thankfully lucky on which flank I had picked for my positionals)
-Using Tank LB3 after causing said cleave to happen as everyone was clamoring for Healers to LB3 and Ctrl+Z his idiocy
-Spinning the boss on occasion for no good reason

I am still amazed we managed to clear it, but the pity Echo of 20% pulled us through the third attempt. With a competent group, I think that boss could be super fun.

Im in a weird position where, as a guy who only played Gen 2 before stopping, the dropped dex is a feature, not a bug. Something that put me off the series was having to start back at square one each generation as the task of catching them all became more and more daunting. The past couple gens had me interested, but I just felt way too behind. Now its a shorter length, on a system I already have, and has less additive distraction even though I have already resolved not to catch em all? Sign me up.

Despite that, I understand my position is a direct contrast to most Pokmon fans perspective, mostly because I would never call myself a Pokmon fan. Not since I was 11, anyway. I think a lot of the irritation is understandable, and the internet echo chambers do what they always do. At the very least, I even told my friend aloud when I started playing that I expected the visuals of the fights to be a lot more impressive on a legit console.

Super Mario Party. Most of the boards are trash, which is super awful when theres such a scarcity of boards to begin with. Some of the mini games were fun (I think Slaparazzi was my favorite, off the top of my head), but most get stale quickly. I doubt I will touch any future installments barring major critical and player reception that the formula I saw here has changed.

The real fun is when you kill Toriel, freak out, and savescum to try to save her instead.

Edit: Also, I had zero expectation that you would like this game or even stick through the end of it (Im the biggest shill of this game on the board and even I get sick of Hotland pretty quickly). Glad you enjoyed it so far. ASGORE is fucking awesome.

When people with insomnia say they didn't sleep, do they literally mean they didn't at all? 0 minutes of sleep? Or that they laid in bed and got basically no real notable sleep...perhaps 20 minutes here and there. I've heard people say they haven't slept in months...
In my case, it's often the former, and the latter if I'm lucky.

WhiteLens, I would appreciate a bit more insight into that stuff. I'm lucky that my doctor found a solution with an off-label use of a drug that doesn't cause chemical dependency at least. I'll take anything at this point. I hate this, and I've been stuck like this for a decade.

Yeah, I know. I'm one of the few who have him unblocked.

I've yet to try the 5-color special in Eldraine, mainly because the fixing is so bad at common. You have the 3-mana 2/3 elf and that's it. I guess Golden Egg for a one-shot, but that's really just for a splash.

I think its the larger EDH zeitgeist too. Look how many people whined when Iona got banned. The only thing wrong with banning a card that says one or more players may no longer play the game is that it didnt happen 8 years prior.
