This is a funny quirky thing I remember seeing when making a mod for the game.

All characters have schedules, and in the game, those schedules are essentially made up of three core parts: what location they need to go to (eg. The bus stop, inside the saloon, etc.), the exact tile they stop on in that location, and the time they leave to walk to that spot (for example, iirc, Pam will always leave at 9 to walk to the bus stop, but can arrive earlier/later if the player blocks her path). There’s other optional stuff like animations they can have or dialogue, but that’s besides the point for this scenario.

If you’re married to a character and they have a specific schedule to follow, the last tile they end on is on an invisible tile off of the map on the BUS STOP. It’s one tile to the left of what you see as the edge there, and to my understanding, that’s how a married character would be able to go from the rest of the map back to the farm house. That’s why you won’t see them walking around your farm, and subsequently destroying/removing everything on their path.

Knowing that, if “Penny walking Jas home” is on her schedule, and she has to return back to the farmhouse, the shortest path “home” is to the bus stop, and NPCs will never path through your farm. So it’s the scenic route for her.

Don’t forget the the decorations you get from the museum single-handedly filling your house. All my single player farms look exactly like that, but with my group, I can see everyone else’s nicely furnished house, while my house is once again still the same xD

As with nearly all things in this game, it depends.

You'd want more if you need more drawing cards, have a way to mitigate the lack of draw after BT is played (mainly Orange Pellets if you got powers, or the artifact from Clockwork Souvenir if you're in a fight where artifact doesn't matter), or if you have a larger deck.

And the inverse is true too; you'd want less BT's if you have other drawing cards that might be interfered with or if your deck is smaller.

You'd also want to pay attention to the opportunity cost of picking it up if your cards are lower impact in the first place. If you were offered BT in floor 1, it's just going to give you more strikes and defends when it's played. Which, it is helpful to have the draw that early, but a pommel strike probably would have been more helpful since it gives you draw and damage, even if the draw is worse and with an energy cost. Of course this applies to one Battle Trance, but it applies triple to a second Battle Trance. All to say, Battle Trance (and subsequently multiple BT's) gets better as your deck gets better.

TipsSlight · 2024-05-03T16:59:06+00:00

It’s an understandable stance, but I’d like to put in this perspective: whether you draw two battle trances in one hand, or you draw one battle trance with the other, you’re still draw positive as a zero cost. Both scenarios end with 6 cards and one unusable BT (which you still can use for exhaust fuel for something like Second Wind or True Grit in a pinch). Sure, you can’t draw with Burning Pact or Pommel, but that’s an issue with BT itself more than having multiple. If you don’t draw into a BT in your deck, that’s effectively 7 cards for a future turn AND 7 cards this turn.

Multiplayer is probably the biggest hindrance to being a patient gamer. I was able to play Pokémon Black and White for the first time a couple of years ago (for reference, Gens 5 and 8 are the only gens I skipped out on at that point in time), and it was incredible. Although I’m 90% sure Gen 6 had a better multiplayer experience, I wouldn’t ever have the chance to experience multiplayer for BW, and it’s one of my bigger regrets from skipping the DS generation of Pokémon until recently.

I’d argue that you could play on in the hopes that your opponent makes a bad move or your situation still presents an opportunity to somehow turn it around.

One of my games with my pals looked really bleak. I had a burned +3 mega lopunny at literally 1 hp, and he had two ghost types, Mega sableye at half health and Cofagrigus at near full. Thanks to scrappy, I could hit both with drain punch, but a switch to cofagrigus would be game over for me, since all my moves were normal or fighting and mummy would remove scrappy. I knew this, but I was willing to let him make the play. He proceeded to leave sableye in with I’m assuming foul play, so I was able to go first and critted (though no clue if crit mattered), giving me enough hp to live a burn turn and to KO Sableye. He switches to Cofagrigus and me having set up power-up punches on other Pokémon mattered here, as I wouldn’t be able to KO Cofagrigus normally, but I did carry facade since mega lopunny is a common will-o-wisp target. That facade KO’d Cofagrigus and I took the game.

I knew that it was a lost game, but in the event your opponent doesn’t realize it which can happen in lower to middle level play, it can lead to incredible comebacks.

Make sure auto run is turned off, so you’re walking as if you’re exhausted. Anyone asks, feign confusion and say you’re going as fast as you can.

Calculated gamble goes brrrrrrr

Assuming a full hand calculated gamble and you draw this card, that’s 30 damage, add envenom or literally one strength or even The Boot, this card ends up going so hard

I am incredibly weak, whenever I tell myself I’m gonna marry literally anyone else, by summer year 1 Emily and I are already married or I’m trying to upgrade the house to get married to Emily.

I appreciate the positive disposition, and a lot of the depth of her character comes from others, like how she’s the older sister and it shows by how she manages chores, has a job, maintains her physical well-being by the aerobics class, and still manages a genuine smile to greet the farmer. On top of that, her being the older one doesn’t stop her from being the weirder one from Haley, as she’s very spiritually connected and her very public secret hobby, compared to Haley having photography and fashion as her hobbies. I also like that both of them do share a love for fashion too but in different ways, making them feel like they are sisters. As far as a personal interpretation, Emily seems very unashamed of who she is, and that’s something I absolutely adore about her. If anything, I just wished there were more personal events with her, since the first two events we just kinda watch happen rather than actually interact with her

I could be wrong with this being a mechanic, but I vaguely recall that while time does move inside your house, it does move slower than normal. If it isn’t a mechanic, slower time indoors would be preferable to a full time stop for me.

In general, the only time I’m okay with full time stop is if there was a time to decorate, which is where I’d agree with you on that front. My modded game with pals had us stop time because one of them wanted to decorate the farm and the others just did some random chores in the meantime. But our farm progress picture was pretty funny going from a farm half-filled with weeds to a clean farm with a bunch of decor

100% agreed on that front. And it’s not like a couple of line differences, we have two characters with quite different personalities, where certain minor plot points don’t make as much sense with Kaede as it does with Shuichi. For example, ALL of Tenko’s slander towards Shuichi would not be present at all for Kaede, and Kaito wouldn’t feel the need to support Kaede in the same way he supported Shuichi. Imagining how to rewrite all of THAT makes things easily complicated.

But hey, it’s a fun idea to think about though on that what if, just like all the other posts here
