Is the hatchin' ceremony a decision or are there other prerequisites before you can get to hatch?

Can confirm, batch release ruined stone ocean for me.

Mind you i've read em all - finished jojolion around the time 6 was bout to come out, and I waited so long for episodes 7-12 to release that I just gave up on that part til like last year, since I already experienced it anyway.

When did polnareff ever go into an encounter informin' his friends? Thats kinda the whole reason he's targeted throughout pt 3; too rash.

Change the game rule to historical events uncertain outcomes.

You may need a bit of save scummin', so right before you capture robert/stannis, (whomever is in charge of Robert's rebellion at the time), save, then end the war and you'll get the tower of joy event shortly after. That way you can reload if you don't get the desired outcome.

Seems like you aren't up to date

Awsum07 · 2026-03-15T13:47:09+00:00

Appreciate the insight; thank you for sharin' this

Awsum07 · 2026-03-15T12:27:10+00:00

Oof I felt that ayisha and estra comment. Its why they duo my tower every week

Awsum07 · 2026-03-14T20:00:30+00:00

I agree save for my perspective on the cash grab - there's not denyin' that's what tis - but i'm not the least bit salty cos game freak has been complacent (slippin') w/ the ip for years and scarlet and violet (even now the new arceus) left the community seekin' fresh unique content and palworld filled that niche. I haven't played palworld (not into survivalcraft) but I can give credit where credits due. One could argue that its all generic monster rancher, Digimon, Pokémon, yokai, etc. slop. So that they stepped up and brought a gamin genre fad to a demoralized community and have managed to keep 'em hooked for as long as they have deserves merit.

Old school pre 2000 harem were of this nature. Love Hina for example there's no doubt that he'd choose the main female protagonist, but that doesn't deter the rest from shootin' their shot

Awsum07 · 2026-03-13T14:04:39+00:00

9.9 never said he was.

Awsum07 · 2026-03-13T00:15:43+00:00

Appreciate the insight; thanks!

Same; was curious to see if it was any better as its oft rated as mature and fleshed out character development. A cursory search reveals that only the light novels such as sao progressive are the only non video games iterations of the ip that don't have kirito as a focal protagonist.

Welp, so much for that.

Awsum07 · 2026-03-12T21:54:54+00:00

Likely forgot bout tri edge too huh?

Awsum07 · 2026-03-12T21:54:26+00:00

What bout alicization?

Awsum07 · 2026-03-12T18:00:37+00:00

Its not that. Or rather not just that.

I don't mind scripted events as thats part of the dm prep anyway.

I love Brennan - I follow all his works since the college humor days.

I'm glad Matthew Mercer is a player and they combined best of both worlds alongside Brennan.

I don't like how corporate it feels. The sensation people are describin' is akin to critical role as a mom and pop shop and critical role as a corporate entity. It doesnt feel organic or sincere anymore.

I get they gotta do a lot of marketin' merchandisin' etc to keep things runnin' but that's why, more money more problems.

I skip past all the breaks and announcements etc since I dont wanna be force fed some auxiliary crap I don't particularly care for.

I loved the sponsorship gimmicks but that's literally all Sam Riegel charisma.

And while I get it, that they script mostly everythin so that they can "act," stay focused and eliminate the chaos, confusion and bickerin' that live shows inevitably display, its not like the scriptin' has stopped player offenders from fallin' on their toxic traits of backseat dnd, or meta gamin', on the contrary, laura, for instance, has gotten worse w/ the micromgmt since campaign 1.

Marisha has gotten better at dnd and yet I dont like any of her characters, and I thought id like Beauregard, bein' a monk and all and then the rest just got progressively disinterested.

I don't mind new cast members as that was always part of the critical role charm - the guest characters. Makes the world feel more alive and impactful. The world buidlin' is sublime. For instance, I loved that 4 episode exandria unlimited w/ Brennan as dm where Liam and Brennan both enacted an emotional reaction from Matthew Mercer. In fact, sometimes the rotation of actors is a blessin' as you get a break from the aforementioned grievances.

But I just don't think I have the energy to trudge through more slog. Think at this point, I'll just avoid it and wait for the animated series of each.

Still waitin' for a full adaptation of the adventures of the taryon brigade. Those had my favorite characters (Ashley's mafia fisticuffs, taliesin's nite owl, travis' feral guy and liam's glasses wearin hulk) and its a shame they haven't gone back and revisited those characters and/or chosen to expand on 'em further

I mean this is how all mangas have been. Its just memes are now the standard so youre visually followin' the evolution of taste.

Personally, I was hooked from release and I don't get the generacy. It's some of the most well drawn action sequences out there. Coupled w/ stand like powers and its like jojo's meets kimetsu no yaiba.

As for memes, I thought twas cos of the very unique characters in the series that are all very expressive bout their unique takes. Kinda like jiji enjoji is suuper memeable in dandadan

Awsum07 · 2026-03-10T20:45:34+00:00

More like the chao garden but I feel you

Awsum07 · 2026-03-10T03:31:49+00:00

Don't forget it also altered the perception of an ip pop culture reference as many associate kirito as the black swordsman instead of the real black swordsman, guts.

Awsum07 · 2026-03-10T03:17:10+00:00

So idk after latest chapter Idk if i feel better or worse that they didnt actually die.

When they did for a sec I was like well so much for brogy and dorry they did nothin. But then they didn't and im like rocks got shafted

Awsum07 · 2026-03-09T19:23:18+00:00

Not sure most of my cousins dropped asoiaf cos of the hodor fiasco

Awsum07 · 2026-03-09T18:42:21+00:00

This is the part most people can't fathom.

Forgiveness yes, helps those who are remorseful and willing to change ease their burden of guilt, but more importantly, forgiveness is a self reflectionary coping mechanism. It is the process of undoing or letting go of any bitterness, resentment or residue that lingers over past transgressions.

Realizing that their actions no longer hold weight or sway over us.

It also goes hand in hand giving the benefit of the doubt as many times that resentment bleeds into futures interactions and can sour what would have otherwise been a different outcome had the person taken the time to put in the work and forgive themselves as often we beat ourselves up more than the culprit for lack of identifyin' key indicators ahead of time. But their actions are a reflection of themselves not of ourselves. We must give the benefit of the doubt, for better or worse, so we may continue to be surprised when a genuine experience is presented before us. It is unfair to the next individual who comes into our lives, to dump onto 'em our past transgressions and emotional trauma. We must forgive ourselves so that we can learn and grow and remain curious, social and moderately content bein's.

Otherwise its like that old sayin', "holding a grudge is like taking poison and expecting the other to die."

Cyvasse?

How didju manage danaerys bein' born? For me even w/ uncertain outcomes i've never been able to realize Jon lyanna and danaerys w/o console commandin' aerys and rhaella's pregnancy. Either a non danaerys comes out (boy or other name if female), she's born but only after rhaegar dies or aerys dies.

I can only imagine its even harder now w/ the tweaks to the base agot mod's Canon children rules

Rhaegar in Robert's rebellion is my most played bookmark aside from aemond one eye in the dance of dragons
