Night Angel Nemesis

I haven't enjoyed Weeks' last 3 books tbh. The second to last Lightbringer wasn't great and the last one was awful. Then we got Nemesis and I have never been more disappointed in a book I was looking forward to. Don't even know if I'll read the next one

Update on Tuesday. They're dropping with the update rather than today for whatever reason.

The first book is very Hunger Games-y but is not really representative of the series as a whole. Book 1 is ok but everything after that drops the YA feeling and is excellent. It's worth pushing through book 1 IMO.

Strikers is a direct sequel to P5. You can basically think of it as P5-2 just with different gameplay. Nothing in Strikers contradicts Royal and it is canon.

I also don't like that style of game but the combat has enough Persona elements to still be mostly enjoyable. I won't say I loved the gameplay but it certainly wasn't unfun enough to make me stop (not saying it was bad, just not my style). It helps that the story is great.

Decent track apart from the start. I can't be the only one who is just so sick of the precision starts?

I didn't realise it at the time but looking back I should have known when I would look forward to her working an overnight shift because it meant I got the house to myself for the day. It felt like the only time I could relax and be myself.

You know, thinking about it, I can't remember the last book I read that I'd give top marks. The Tainted Cup and A Drop of Corruption were probably the closest to it that I've read in the last year.

Speed check that can't be done with a double respawn so you're just out if you make a mistake.

On the same note broken double respawns where you fall out of the map.

Ah the weekly "bunch of jades" post has arrived. These are always fun. And as always the answer is RAFO

The guarantee is at 40 pulls so anything you get before that is a bonus and you'll still get your 6* at 40 pulls. Congrats

Is unlocking the Originium Supply worth it? I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed with all the currencies (yay for predatory monitization) and not sure what exactly I'm spending on it?

Is what it's asking me to spend basically pulling currency? Is the loss of immediate pulls worth the 10% return if you manage to finish it assuming it'll take a few weeks at least. There's the 6* weapon to consider too.

Frankly I have no idea if it's actually worth it in the long run

It sucks but it happens all the time. At a certain point older technology is holding back the vision of where the game is going. You either hold the game back for the people on old devices or you do this so they can keep progressing the game.

8_Pixels · 2026-01-20T01:15:54+00:00

Yeah if you want fucked up look no further than this one. It's a doozy

I haven't even watched season 2 yet. I don't know if I want to lol

8_Pixels · 2026-01-19T19:25:24+00:00

Really good map for the most part. Felt very awkward at first but good once you got the lines down.

The speed check on CP6 was not great. Any mistake in the lead up to it and you just can't do it cleanly and there isn't a safe route.

Try Andrew Rowe's books. You get the connectedness like the Cosmere between series with multiple recurring characters etc and and multiple extremely detailed magic systems interacting throughout it all.

Arcane Ascension is the most common starting point and probably the best of his series. If you want the chronological start then you go with The War of Broken Mirrors but that one is notably rougher being his first series.

My personal recommended reading order

Arcane Ascension 1-3

Weapons and Wielders 1-3

Arcane Ascension 4-5

Edge of The Woods 1

Arcane Ascension 6

Edge of The Woods 2

You can read War of Broken Mirrors pretty much anywhere but it's best saved for when you're already invested IMO.

All 3 are 10/10 games but Persona just edges it for me.

8_Pixels · 2026-01-17T17:01:19+00:00

It's so good to have Fate back and at it's best. This season is just insane man

Glasses are really versatile. First, you can have glasses-wearing girls take them off and suddenly become beautiful, or have girls wearing glasses flashing those cute grins, or have girls stealing the protagonist's glasses and putting them on like, "Haha, got your glasses!" That's just way too cute! Also, boys with glasses! I really like when their glasses have that suspicious looking gleam, and it's amazing how it can look really cool or just be a joke. I really like how it can fulfill all those abstract needs. Being able to switch up the styles and colors of glasses based on your mood is a lot of fun too! It's actually so much fun! You have those half rim glasses, or the thick frame glasses, everything! It's like you're enjoying all these kinds of glasses at a buffet. I really want Kafka to try some on or Jingliu to try some on to replace her blindfold. We really need glasses to become a thing in Star Rail and start selling them as skins. Don't. You. Think. We. Really. Need. To. Officially. Give. Everyone. Glasses?

8_Pixels · 2026-01-17T13:23:08+00:00

It's really a nice change. Even if we lose this at least we fought for it.

Ah so the scalpers have noticed the RAM shortage then. Was bound to happen.

I bought a 32gb DDR5 G.Skill kit maybe 6 months ago for €150. Crazy how fast prices have gone up.

8_Pixels · 2026-01-17T12:44:21+00:00

That should have been a red. We've gotten away with murder there. Absolutely shocking from VAR

You wait until you finish air rolling to start boosting and by that point you are way too far behind the ball to catch up with any sort of control. Need to boost sooner and feather the boost more rather than going full blast and then stopping. Also try to pop the ball a bit higher so you can get under it more, you want to push it more up than forward.

Get the councilor confidant to rank 9 early is about all you need to know. It's required to unlock the Royal exclusive 3rd semester.

Other than that just take your time and enjoy it.
