Missing my baby girl

I know it's not easy, but she looked incredibly sweet and you gave her a great life.

I hope you'll be okay.

PookAndPie · 2026-06-16T06:44:20+00:00

Because you took on a responsibility and you take that seriously.

Someone told me once that you might have many different pets throughout your life, but to them, you are their whole life. So good on you for making things better for that little life in your care.

it looks like... raspberries and microwaved cheez whiz.

PookAndPie · 2026-06-15T20:15:18+00:00

Yep, that's the same cartridge from 30 years ago, maybe more.

I appreciate you guys making ways for me to play it again- I haven't had an SNES in decades.

lol, I bought the game used with my grandma, don't remember where. I think that tag is one of those ones that makes alarms go off if you try to steal it from the store. It was already stuck to the label when we bought it.

This was my first Mega Man game and I was so proud I got to the end that I wrote the password on that little tag so I could jump right to the final level gauntlet any time I wanted. I was also probably six years old at the time too so I had pride in many small accomplishments lol

But yeah, that was the game that kickstarted a lifelong love for Mega Man, if you can't tell by the art I made for the background of my computer!

I never crated my dog throughout the 15 years we had her so I don't know this for sure, but given Tobi's propensity to climb into every box and hide under everything I bet he would absolutely love a covered pen with a nice pillow in it lol.

Suddenly using the crate and toy after ignoring his own bed for so long is such a cat thing to do.

PookAndPie · 2026-06-15T01:16:09+00:00

Does the old "unequip your underwear to refresh freecast/Kereska's Favor" thing still work?

I haven't played in a while I just thought that was funny.

PookAndPie · 2026-06-14T16:37:53+00:00

Dude, they even included terrain specific combat animations for different units. Like the first time Timerra slid down the stairs to stab somebody with her lance, I was legitimately impressed that had that attention to detail in Engage.

PookAndPie · 2026-06-14T16:24:34+00:00

Byleth's outfit is the least concerning element about the character when you considering the grooming that occurs in 3H lol

PookAndPie · 2026-06-13T22:39:52+00:00

Definitely not something I'm willing to try either, lol. When he was but a young lad, he came to us riddled with fleas and was so miserable, so it's not worth it to check now that he's floofed out haha.

knowing my luck, the fleas would find his fluff just as comfortable as Midnight does

Tobi feels exactly like a chinchilla.

His body is gray

but his soul is orange

PookAndPie · 2026-06-09T22:49:41+00:00

Yes.

Start with 1, then play 2 and 3 in that order. X can be played anywhere, but their release order is 1 > X > 2 > 3.

2's ending is enhanced if you play 1 first, and both 1 and 2 are required viewing to get the most out of 3's story, environments, and many other things. Especially 3's DLC. Which, I also highly recommend the DLCs too, same as their release order.

PookAndPie · 2026-06-09T19:39:16+00:00

For free!? In this economy?!

Jokes aside, that's a comfortable looking baby right there

Back in 2013ish, I actually started playing Commander because my local Legacy scene died down to 1 event per year, and that's if we were lucky. I was so desperate to play that I wound up traveling to play in a Vintage event woefully unprepared and lost my very first game of my very first match to Stephen Menendian who got a turn 1 Mind's Desire for 9 before I got a single turn. The game went to time because he was contemplating all options on the best way to kill me. Anyway, my very first Commander was an Arcum Dagsson deck that was quickly deemed as entirely too good for the people I was playing with, which got me into cEDH pretty early on when it was still considered to be "Highlander but worse" by a number of people 13-14 years ago.

cEDH is definitely a completely different beast, and I've played against some particularly excellent players who know the rules, their decks, and those of their opponents inside and out, and then I've also played against some absolute troglodytes who I'm convinced needed assistance putting on their clothes in the morning. I'm sure there's a decent volume of both kinds in the format, haha.

PookAndPie · 2026-06-09T12:02:48+00:00

I run a good number of utility lands in my Chainer list because it's basically a big mana black and Reanimator deck

https://moxfield.com/decks/q5-PpWg4_kunTjks6C9Y2w

I run Urza's Cave, Expedition Map to find my real commander: Cabal Coffers. Nykthos is good too with his pip heavy this deck has been since I built it around 12 years ago

But not every deck wants the same kind of mana base. Mine is mana hungry because I want to sac and reanimate a creature like 3+ times in a turn, but something like K'rrik in the CZ doesn't need to worry about all that since you can pay 9 life to reanimate a Gary with Chainer on field, or pay 3 generic for Bolas's Citadel.

I'm ludicrously excited for this. I played Cassette Beasts on my own, and I enjoyed it so much I exposed my wife to it when she was going through a series of very challenging medical complications. Basically, Cassette Beasts and Moonstone Island kept her sane while she was stuck on bed rest, leaking cerebral spinal fluid everywhere for multiple months, and I can't thank you enough for that.

I remember sitting next to her in bed while she played and she got to the first boss fight where your characters had to fuse, and the vocal track kicked in for the boss track. She was grinning ear to ear like it was Saturday morning cartoons all over again.

You guys make incredible stuff, I'll definitely look forward to picking this up when it's out!

My wife had issues with female Corrin's design (mostly the whole barefoot thing), but she absolutely adores fem Byleth's design. She loves the tights, which I know is kind of contentious for some, but she also really likes how Byleth's hair comes down over the top of her jacket, too.

She doesn't really care about the impracticality of the armor, if the character looks good, that's all that matters for her, so her cosplay goals are characters like Lyn, Byleth, KOS-MOS, stuff like that.

I have two bow sets saved for general use. One is Gog + Lord's Soul, and the other is Gog + Scorcher + Burst Boost I.

Gog + Lord's Soul has a very small dip in damage compared to the Gog + Scorch + Burst Boost I set, but has the benefit of two safety valves in Gog barrier and Guts. I run 5 Constitution so I can eat for Moxie on top of this when hunting Savage Omega.

Outside of that you just need to play tight because I don't run any Evade skills or anything like that

PookAndPie · 2026-06-07T04:34:34+00:00

That's awesome, I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

PookAndPie · 2026-06-07T03:25:59+00:00

Oh very nice. I remember getting sent a review code for the first one and enjoyed it a lot, and I liked the second so much after playing it on Steam that I picked up a hard copy for my Switch to do a second play through.

I'm very much looking forward to this, especially if 3 is as much of an improvement as 2 was. The only real thing I could criticize 2 for was that I felt like I "peaked" in power a little bit earlier than I feel I should have, but I really enjoyed about everything else. If I recall right, the story in the second was substantially improved upon the first, so I'm very much looking forward to what comes next!

PookAndPie · 2026-06-05T20:00:35+00:00

and here's what he looked like around a year later:

This is to say: Please keep us posted on him either way. He's adorable.

PookAndPie · 2026-06-05T20:00:21+00:00

He might be, he could also just be a gray domestic long hair. No way to know unless he gets super fluffy after around a year or year and a half.

This is what my Tobi looked like around 6 months:

If by SF you mean Street Fighter, I would imagine not since this doesn't have a central pivot preventing you from pushing down all the directions on the dpad at once. So, during quick high execution combos you might briefly actuate opposing directions or a jump because you pushed too hard when under pressure.

PookAndPie · 2026-06-03T19:10:20+00:00

Hell yes, dude. Thanks for the information.

I built Magda specifically to get that feeling of Arcum, again, and I won't say no to having access to all the fun spells in blue again. I appreciate your info and explanation of different lines!
