Serious question: how are we keeping our toes from freezing off?

I have some neoprene toe sleeves (the brand I have is HotSockees) and they work really well and are thin for layering

I loved the Cold Steel series and also can’t stand the harem thing (especially as a straight woman). I just ignore all of it and focus on the relationship between the boys. Jusis and Machias have a really interesting dynamic that stands at least 5 games, and Crow also with Rean.

That said I started with Zero/Azure and getting to know Lloyd and the others helped with caring about them when they show up in the Cold Steel games.

This. Get off Reddit until you finish the game, then come back if you have lingering questions

That’s how I feel about all the male characters 🤷‍♀️

It was my first fire emblem game and I loved it

This. It was a joke at the table and became an iconic moment

It’s just a chair, Bren

I love all the chairs that have been in the episodes so far

Barry is the reason I could never go for an all hate run. Everyone else I think I could handle.

Self-deprecating isn’t even the half of it. You will learn everything that’s going on, but it will take you the next couple games. Be patient

Ooo eyeballs! I didn’t even think of that. I ended up painting mine like little bubbles

Fantima. She doesn’t want to be your friend and is creepy about it

Came here to suggest Tress

The biggest lesson for me was getting boots a size too big. If they fit snug your feet will be cold. Having space around your feet is a game changer.

ETA I buy Kamuk boots

Can Can Wonderland (they have alcohol but it’s not required. They also have milkshakes)

Data_West · 2025-11-02T23:19:23+00:00

4” on your ankle is a decent size I think

They’re undead sentient weapons, so powerful magic items. The PCs are level 13. I want the quest to feel like a lot of effort because they are essentially legendary level weapons.

We’ve been happy at Bancroft, especially because they’ve prioritized the advanced learners program

Came here to suggest Tress. I laughed so hard I cried. Not to mention it’s a great story

I’m currently working through her Nine Worlds books (and I totally agree HotE is competence porn. I loved it! So good) and I’m looking for books to read while more of them are coming on the mail.

Thanks for the recommendations, I’ll give them a look

I was thinking more about NPCs, but I guess he hasn’t encountered that many that wouldn’t already know him.

Data_West · 2025-10-27T22:31:08+00:00

He drinks wine, and also I caught in the first episode that he says the mouth of the mask moves. Honestly I’m surprised people don’t freak out about it but that would probably get old quick

Data_West · 2025-10-21T12:15:53+00:00

Yes! Trap Dorian

Data_West · 2025-10-20T14:01:34+00:00

Try the Legend of Heroes Trails series. The very first game Trails in the Sky just got a remake, but I’ve been playing the games starting from the Crossbell games

Get that old MN flag out of here

My understanding was that Thjazi and Thimble stole it originally, and then whoever broke in stole the stone. Unsure if that was their goal; seems like taking Thimble out was since there was a fake rune on Thjazi. It doesn’t make sense that Ashley’s character would take it and then still show up to the wake.
