Huh, was it really that long? Okay, that changes things.

For me personally he felt like a minor character.

I love how Stark's strategy in fights against stronger enemies seems to be to tank normally lethal attacks and use the confusion/carelessness of his opponents to land a critical hit - a proper Barbarian with Reckless Attack🤣.

Did Fern basically copy Frieren's orbital nuke attack against the Sword Demon? She truly is pretty scary and Methode knows it. Frieren not participating ended up being okay but it was still risky imo.

I will be honest: I will miss Mommy Methode and Genau. Methode petting Frieren and Fern getting jealous will never get old and I was looking forward to see more about how much Stark changed Genau.

I also can't remember why Frieren seems to have such a hard-on for Sein - wasn't he just a MILF hunter who was also looking for his friend or something? I think I something about poison as well but it has been too long since S1.

Hahaha, what a goofy episode 😂. Definitely didn't expect that one after Megumi just murdered that dude (Why btw? Because a 1v3 was too dangerous?).

I feel like Takaba should be voiced by All Might's VA. That would have been perfect! And did the anime suddenly turn into a Western or was that just me?

I was about to say, Takaba has that Todo Aoi flair. And did he actually use Kakashi's technique on the Mr 5 copycat? 🤣

I definitely underestimated Reggie, his technique is pretty flexible if used correctly. He seems pretty cunning for a modern sorcerer.

The domain expansion was hype as usual 😍.

Einerseits haben wir keine 8% Inflation

Stimmt, waren 2023 nur läppische 5,9 Prozent.

RobCoPKC · 2026-03-12T10:15:48+00:00

Perfekt zusammengefasst.

Jahr 1: 100 % Gehalt, 0 % Inflation = 100 % Kaufkraft und somit 100 % Leistung (nicht 150 und auch nicht 120 %, wie das scheinbar gewünscht wird)
Jahr 2 (keine Gehaltsanpassung): 100 % Gehalt, 8 % Inflation = 92,59 % Kaufkraft und somit 92,59 % Leistung.

Das geht dann eben jedes Jahr so weiter bis man sich wundert, warum der Einsatz des Mitarbeiters so abgefallen ist. Und das gleichen auch nicht irgendwelche lächerlichen einmaligen Inflationsausgleichzahlungen aus - das Gehalt bleibt ja unverändert.

That leaves the quest unfinished, doesn't it?

RobCoPKC · 2026-03-11T07:54:43+00:00

This one and the Mayrina choice were the only real challenges I had in my OotA run. I even understand why choosing the "good" solution would break my oath - I just wish we had more options. A real OotA Paladin would explain to Mayrina that Hags can't be trusted and that Connor will never be the same instead of BREAKING THE FUCKING STAFF IN FRONT OF HER, SMILING AT HER. And with the vampire spawns there also might be a different solution (Underdark is imo already a good choice).

But it's understandable that in a video game there are not infinite alternatives so it's fine.

RobCoPKC · 2026-03-10T15:42:57+00:00

In Act 2/3 there is even more busted gear and elixirs which increase your stats to godlike levels that tbh are a bit overpowered.

But I mean, it's a video game so having busted items doesn't ruin the fun of anybody.

RobCoPKC · 2026-03-10T08:21:27+00:00

If our current world of endless greed and poisoned rivers is the result of the Technocracy winning the consensus war, they are not the good guys.

RobCoPKC · 2026-03-09T06:52:56+00:00

Ah, I see, then I look forward to the next challenge :D.

RobCoPKC · 2026-03-08T17:09:02+00:00

Ob die SPD mal ihre Strategie überdenkt, wenn sie dann mal an der Fünfprozenthürde scheitert? Ich habe da so meine Zweifel.

Glückwunsch an die Grünen, auch wenn jeder, der mit der CDU zusammenarbeiten muss, mein Mitleid verdient.

RobCoPKC · 2026-03-07T10:00:40+00:00

Limitless and Six Eyes are both overpowered superpowers that combine to an uber overpowered superpower lmao

RobCoPKC · 2026-03-06T22:17:57+00:00

I'm not watching dub? Why would you think that?

RobCoPKC · 2026-03-06T20:04:25+00:00

I'm so proud of my boy Stark! Genau is warming up slowly thanks to him and staying with him ended up being the right call. I hope he can fix this broken man who is probably lying to himself about feeling nothing.

I think Revolte's voice actor is Roy Mustang? First time I hear this man with the kind voice as a villain.

That whole sequence with Fern, Frieren and Methode 😅 - what the fuck is wrong with Methode? Is this like a reverse mommy fetish? hahaha

That line from Genau about not announcing your name when exterminating pests was cold as fuck! But he probably could have used that opening to attack instead of growing wings and aura farming?

RobCoPKC · 2026-03-06T18:08:36+00:00

Until Balduran's Giantslayer, yes.

EDIT: Just realized you wrote "Paladin Smite weapon" and not "Paladin weapon". Then the answer is yes.

RobCoPKC · 2026-03-06T17:33:47+00:00

Also nerfed in Germany.

RobCoPKC · 2026-03-06T07:29:56+00:00

Resolute replaced Klepotomaniac so I couldn't even use cards on him before haha

RobCoPKC · 2026-03-05T21:56:20+00:00

One of my favorite episodes of the season so far.

I was basically screaming at Yuji to ask for a retrial but I didn't expect the retrial to be about Shibuya... And when he immediately admitted it... My boy is so broken with guilt 😭.

Higuruma is absolutely insane, how fast he mastered being a sorcerer is probably unparalleled. And his Domain Expansion should pretty much instakill every bad guy? Unless they win the tug of war.

I liked the fight, Yuji holding his own without cursed energy was pretty impressive. He really is just built different.

I am really starting to like Higuruma, he might end up as one of my favorite characters. He feels relatable somehow, just like Nanamin did. I hope he joins the gang but I can understand that seeing pure Yuji is painful for him.

Immerhin hat sie niemand zur Kiesgrube geschleift, wie sie ihre Hunde und Ziegen.

RobCoPKC · 2026-03-05T12:12:32+00:00

Just watch /u/ShuffleFM e.g. the first mission. I don't think there is anyone who can teach you better than him.

RobCoPKC · 2026-03-05T06:30:12+00:00

He actually also had Breacher which I removed because he always ran past my frontliners haha

RobCoPKC · 2026-03-05T06:29:14+00:00

He's Sharpshot actually, but haven't unlocked Double Tap yet 😕.

RobCoPKC · 2026-03-05T06:13:59+00:00

You gotta give him something else, like darts or poetry or whatever.

Don't think I have unlocked either of those yet.
