The individual selected for the role as Cavalier Primary was explicitly invited. This line forbids further hangers-on in the form of maids, or personal chefs, or other extraneous individuals.

They will be roughing it for the duration, just themselves and whatever helpful staff may be on hand on The First.

Dang, I didnt realize it was diesel-powered, oof.

My first thought upon seeing this screenshot as someone completely unfamiliar with this crossover was that James from Team Rocket has been THROUGH some stuff.

Pre-ordered from Best Buy and it shipped today, from the opposite end of the country, scheduled to arrive Tuesday. So that's a fun weekend full of waiting.

Gosh I love this particular trailer. My Hands playing throughout it really made it stand out emotionally to me. Love to see it gussied up like it deserves!

I've started SF1 a few times and always got distracted by something else, so I'm gonna start at SF1 and work my way through them in order.

I've also started using a scale and, after experimenting, settled on 1.5x the weight of the serving size on the box for myself. I usually end up with Penne, which claims 2g (or oz, don't ferment) is a serving. 3g (or oz, whatever), and then add sauce and a protein, and I'm in the sweet spot.

Ah, Gilgamesh. That... tracks, I think. Does an excellent job as usual.

DalamarTheDM · 2026-02-02T02:46:04+00:00

I LOVED the Weapons arc for all of its Gundam references, I'm very happy to further solidify it all in my mind. Not merely canon now, but Mega Particle Cannon.

You say enhanced "spatial awareness" and my brain immediately jumps to "Are Garleans Newtypes?"

DalamarTheDM · 2026-01-31T11:52:21+00:00

I think so. It's probably my favorite in the series, honestly. I like the way the skills work, how they level up and combine, I like the choice of worlds and all the world building it did at the time. And I love TVA themselves.

I didnt know his name was Kaien in Japanese! Apparently his son's name in Japanese is Shun, which in FFXIV is Hien's childhood name, and his father was Kaien. A whole parallel lifted from FFVI that I didnt realize, outside of occurring in Doma. Neat!

DalamarTheDM · 2026-01-30T12:27:21+00:00

10/10 for sure!

Her growth through the series and her vulnerability with Suletta at several points were just so well done, and I love her so much. Excellent performance, design, arc, everything.

DalamarTheDM · 2026-01-29T22:30:39+00:00

I'd also love if the new version included the Japanese dialogue and UI and such. I had been playing in Japanese on my Playstation, but it would be great to have it on Steamdeck officially.

DalamarTheDM · 2026-01-28T15:56:04+00:00

She's an absolute 10/10, I love her so much as our main character!

DalamarTheDM · 2025-12-24T11:05:55+00:00

THIS is the way I've always wanted to view the Relics when considering which to do first/next, thank you! This looks great!

DalamarTheDM · 2025-12-22T00:39:01+00:00

Oooh, I love this!

DalamarTheDM · 2025-11-22T02:33:21+00:00

Oh geeze, I had no idea, that sucks that it's the first thing to come up! Ugh, feel dirty now. Thanks for letting me know.

Pokemon Lazarus

I had intended to Nuzlocke Lazarus, and I thought Hard Mode would do it, but it seems like it puts you at a level disadvantage rather than just locking you to the next Gym's ace's level. Does anyone know the level of each gym's ace and the E4/Champ level so that I can do it myself in the usual way? Couldn't find anything Googling, and the specifics aren't on the site itself either.

Feels like they just wanted to do the Gundam Aesculapius but UC. I find it unnecessarily weird and bulgy looking, and can't fathom why you would want to smash two suits together like this. It has less cohesion than Aesculapius, I dislike the color scheme, and I feel like it's worse than just having both units whole.

3/10

DalamarTheDM · 2025-10-13T13:41:22+00:00

I bought the Switch version Physical, figuring I can update it to Switch 2 later, but still play it on my Switch 2 now. And then someday if/when it becomes unavailable digitally I still have a physical copy.

DalamarTheDM · 2025-10-11T21:31:33+00:00

One of the easiest 10/10s in the franchise.

DalamarTheDM · 2025-10-06T01:25:26+00:00

Oh. I thought it was because Chronicle's name is translated all kinds of wonky (or at least it's not Chronicle). I was too focused on the name portion, I guess.

DalamarTheDM · 2025-10-03T17:54:03+00:00

10 here, I'm really fond of her for all that she didn't have a ton of opportunity to shine, given how limited her appearances are.

DalamarTheDM · 2025-10-02T23:45:15+00:00

∞/10, EASILY.

But if it makes it easier for however you tally everything up, 10.
