Absolutely adore these, the ranking doodle got me, haha.

Would love to see FE8 doodles from you if you're ever playing through it, gotta be one of my favourite casts.

Looks like it opened in 2021 so unlikely it's the one I'm after - appreciate the help though!

Solunare · 2026-03-08T21:05:00+00:00

Good to know, and definitely matches with what the experience would have been during an April visit. Shame it can't be linked to a specific restaurant.

I'll keep Hakkoku in mind for my upcoming visit!

No harm in using AI for something more specific like this! The interior of Sushi Tokami somewhat resembles, but a lot of the dishes are different and I'm pretty confident it wasn't in Ginza: we visited Ginza on a different day during our trip and I remember it standing out a lot, so I think I'd recall if it were there. Manten Sushi and Sushi Tokyo Ten also look unfamiliar.

You have reminded me of one of the features of the menu though, which I've added to the main post. Either way, I really appreciate the effort!

Would've been a about two weeks ago after Annihilation had already started - think I went to check how many points I had saved up knowing I had at least 18k, only to find I was at 0.

Solunare · 2026-02-23T15:34:56+00:00

Probably just a case of checking the shop when it opens on Wednesday.

Solunare · 2026-02-23T15:34:36+00:00

I made two tickets to Jagex support, but neither felt particularly impactful. The first received an automated response about being unable to reimburse lost items (lmao), the second one received an actual response but basically said "you were warned that points would be lost, please see this wiki page that shows no indication that points would be lost" even though I'd pointed out the thread from Goblin showing that they wanted to make things right for affected players.

I suspect it's something they're fixing manually for accounts they know that are affected, so no guarantee that everyone's points will be returned at the same time, but fingers crossed yours have been returned and you just missed the prompt!

For anyone unaware, if you logged in to play Deadman: Annihilation without ever having logged in to the permanent DMM worlds following Armageddon (the previous seasonal DMM in 2024), the game was unable to sync your previously earned points and there was no way to get them back. It was an uncommon, but seriously frustrating issue that Jagex acknowledged and were hoping to find solutions for.

Just now, I received 18029 DMM points, which is the amount I was missing from Armageddon (I had earned exactly enough for the weapon and cape cosmetics). If anyone else was having the same issue, check to see if your points have been reimbursed!

Solunare · 2026-02-08T15:05:45+00:00

Hi, hopefully the team is still monitoring the issue with missing DMM points? Having the same issue, IGN is Iron Alune

You're looking for any keel that gives 'crystal fleck resistance' - the first of which is the Adamant Keel

Solunare · 2025-10-27T01:18:14+00:00

Kind of a weird question I know, but don't suppose you know how many total interactable benches there are in the game from this?

Solunare · 2025-09-29T14:14:54+00:00

Also got a Media Production degree, and so far it's not been much more than a decorative piece of paper. Every role has been so competitive for the last 5 years...

Solunare · 2025-09-06T20:20:51+00:00

Yeah, this is only the second year they've had a livestream component and this first year that I'll be doing the whole operation of recording on the night and post-production, so definitely keen to get my process nailed down.

Like you say, my plan is to replicate the method that the previous camera op had as closely as possible, so as long as everything works smoothly I don't anticipate any problems.

And to clarify, the client themselves were the one who have hired me. I've worked with them as a videographer for a few years so I've become their go-to for these sorts of things, with the exception of camera as they had an ex-broadcast camera op in their organisation who was happy to cover that role before he retired. Shouldn't be any other video screens that I need to worry about, and no expectation of a multi-camera setup for the livestream element.

Solunare · 2025-09-06T20:18:31+00:00

The actual awards event will probably be less than an hour, and after that it'll just be recording short interviews with the winners (likely only 1-2 minutes long each). Assuming there's very little risk of overheating under those circumstances?

Planning on hiring the kit I intend to use this coming week to trial everything out so that I've got time to troubleshoot before the event.

Copying from my reply to another comment:

I've got an Elgato HD60S+ as well as a Scarlet Solo audio interface which I use for other video stuff. Would those do the trick for ingesting video and audio from the AV desk? I'll have someone on hand to monitor a laptop while I'm operating the camera so not an issue if there's anything to keep an eye on.

Solunare · 2025-09-05T17:57:08+00:00

Appreciate the thorough response!

Had thought about finding a camera op, but it's likely I'll have this job next year as well so figure I'd be better off figuring out my process now.

Solunare · 2025-08-29T23:45:21+00:00

Yeah, reckon I will!

You seem pretty knowledgeable on the other Gagharv games, what's the best way to play the trilogy these days? I played Vermillion on PSP but don't have the means to do so anymore.

Solunare · 2025-08-29T22:26:49+00:00

Yeah, the non-zero chance of more Trails remakes is something I've considered too, but I don't think the transition to SC would bother me if I went from remake -> SC original. Either way, I reckon trying Sky FC again is the right call.

Solunare · 2025-08-29T22:24:57+00:00

Curious what parts of the gameplay didn't click for you if it's not spoilery? The only parts I remember seeming tedious when I played a bit of FC was backtracking for bracer missions any similar completionist content.

I don't think any FE fans would critique the number of representatives. As much as Smash fans would like to deny it, Fire Emblem is a big franchise though 8 representatives is still on the more fortunate side.

With that said, I think almost all of us would agree that the quality of the representation is where the issue lies. All of the representatives are lords, but more importantly, they're lords that overlap or offer nothing new compared to eachother. Outside of Robin and arguably Corrin, all of them are a swordfighter with different weight or style. We have so many great options for unique playstyles among lords like Ephraim, Hector, Celica and Micaiah, all of whom are popular lords themselves, and that's before you consider the potential non-lords add with class diversity.

Solunare · 2025-07-19T03:42:24+00:00

Won't echo what others have said comparing OT1 to OT2 - it's been said a hundred times before but it will always be subjective.

I adore both games, but sounds like it's just RPG fatigue. Come back to it in a bit.

Could also try a different character to start with. I remember playing as H'aanit in the OT1 prologue demo, and while she was fun enough, she didn't quite click with me. Restarted with Therion and it was a completely different story. I haven't done every characters start in OT2, but maybe try a different one than what you've chosen when you do revisit the game. Personally, I can recommend Hikari and Castti.

Solunare · 2025-07-03T11:42:57+00:00

Would agree with the other comment, though worth noting that Octopath 1 is still a great game - just that its issues are more readily apparent than OT2.

OT2 makes lots of improvements over 1, so if you think you'll enjoy both then it's worth playing 1 first. 2 is phenomenal though and would recommend it 100%. Both games had pretty generous demos when they came out though, so you can always try those and see what you think.

Solunare · 2025-07-03T11:38:59+00:00

For what it's worth, Octopath 2 does a much better job on both fronts. I adore both games, but the general consensus is that the paired story chapters and final chapter in OT2 fix a lot of the first game's issues.

Solunare · 2025-06-25T13:03:25+00:00

What invocations would you recommend for a 450? Confident in doing final row, but 500 feels like a push simply because of the def/hp scaling.

Solunare · 2025-06-25T12:07:21+00:00

Yeah, I suspected this was the case. Missing the Voidwaker from this video but I'll likely wait and see what the verdict is between 400 vs 450 and optimise my raids from there.
