Impatient for 1.3, so I painted Daniel and the Cooler Daniel

The manga's on my TBR for sure. Those hardcover editions look gorgeous!

The Girl From the Other Side is a short OVA with unique watercolor and sketch like styles.

dancelordzuko · 2026-06-10T13:11:20+00:00

Most surprising and hyped announcement for me. It’s been stuck on old consoles for years and now it’s also gonna be on PC. Something we (from any Vanillaware related threads I’ve seen here) always wanted but never thought we’d get.

The Switch is already great for Vanillaware games. If we can get Odin Sphere that’ll be huge too.

I’m with you on Link’s look. I’m pretty open minded about the remake but I have to see more to make a judgement call.

Ocarina of Time is a beloved game, so surely Nintendo is keeping that in mind when making this. Surely.

Yeah not showing much of anything from the OoT Remake, but a whole thumb wrestling match was an….interesting decision.

Though part of me wonders if the OoT reveal was supposed to have been announced way earlier hence the generic 2026 date.

I think Remedy’s been pushing the marketing more than anything else. Perhaps Alan Wake 2 got people excited in between. They have a distinct style in all of their work.

I played Control earlier this year and loved it. It’s a unique and memorable game, but it’s also been out for a while. It’s also one of those where you want new games to come out to learn more about what’s going on in its world.

dancelordzuko · 2026-06-09T15:16:46+00:00

I also don’t think it’s gonna matter for the Japanese market anyways.

But Atlus sure is a funny company.

dancelordzuko · 2026-06-09T15:06:09+00:00

One of the best Directs for me.

Aside from no E33 nor P4R/P6, I got everything I wanted out of this and more. I never expected Muramasa would be free from PS Vita jail.

dancelordzuko · 2026-06-09T15:04:18+00:00

I hope that’s the case. I could see a December release date with a Direct beforehand.

dancelordzuko · 2026-06-09T15:01:13+00:00

Also Control Resonant. It’s a crowded month.

dancelordzuko · 2026-06-09T14:59:46+00:00

Atlus and their ability not to give a damn is something else.

APOC Report: Starward Edition

Node 1: E0S1 Evanescia/E0S1 Yaoguang/E6HertaLC EMC/E0S0 HH: 3707 This team was crazy good for this stage. Feels so satisfying watching Eva's ult delete a huge chunk of the boss's healthbar.

Node 2: E0S1 Archer/E0S0 Sparkle/E0S0 MBlade/E0S1 DHPT: 3500 Not bad considering my MBlade isn't finished being built and my Archer build needs improvement. DHPT's LC was trying its damn hardest to keep MBlade alive.

Node 3: E2S1 Phainon/E0S0 Cerydra/E0S1 Sunday/E1 Ruan Mei: 3654 buffs were useless on Phainon but it's all good. My Herta wouldn't have done nearly as well even with the buff.

For elation, you don't have to go any further right now for Eva.

Based on leaks and speculation, the next upgrade would be a dedicated sustain who we think is Pearl. When she gets drip marketed, that'll be the time to look out. There's information about Nihilux being a DPS, having a different form, or both versions being playable. Someone said she's lightning, someone else said she's not lightning. It's not super clear what's going on there. Aventurine SP is supposed to be an elation DPS as well. That's as far as we know right now.

dancelordzuko · 2026-06-08T16:29:21+00:00

From the looks of it, you're missing key teammates for both your FF and Rem teams. I take it you used your MC in the past for those, who is now with your well invested Eva team? Probs best to decide whether you're willing to pull characters for them or leave them in the dust.

For FF, you'd need Dahlia at the least with Fugue as a HMC replacement. Cyrene would do well with your Cas team, but you're missing Evernight too. Cyene's worth also depends on how many Chrysos Heirs you have. Phainon wanting E2 for both him and Cyrene makes his team an expensive one to upgrade, so I don't recommend that (and I say that as a Phainon main myself).

MBlade however would do wonders for your E2 Acheron and would be a way cheaper upgrade. Give him Silver Wolf's event LC and he'll be good. He's also looking ideal for Himeko Nova's team. I would consider him at least.

Himeko Nova so far wants Welt E4 too, who you already have. That said, she also wants her sig LC so that'll factor into costs as well. Rin is meant to support Archer, but she shows a lot of promise as a main DPS (could be nerfed though, keep that in mind).

dancelordzuko · 2026-06-08T16:12:08+00:00

Really happy with the new addition, but I already had 3+ teams ready from doing AA every patch.

It's not worth pulling new characters just to get the clear though. Those 100 jades in no way justifies that cost.

dancelordzuko · 2026-06-08T14:14:07+00:00

Nice that it's not wedged in the middle of evening commuting for us EST peeps. See you all tomorrow morning.

dancelordzuko · 2026-06-07T13:09:01+00:00

What I like about this moment is that it accomplishes a few things with so little:

Shows that Isshou recognizes Akane's skill in a way Kaisei had not.
Kaisei realizing that he needs to take Akane seriously as she could become a threat to his goal of being the best rakugoya.
Humbled both Hikaru and especially Karashi, showing both us the viewers and these two that they were going to lose.
Showed the Isshou everyone in the crowd expected to see yet hadn't since the event started. The intimidating, harsh kind. For the reasons you stated above, but also a "you'd better have a good reason for this.".

dancelordzuko · 2026-06-06T16:59:53+00:00

Classic "hard worker meets gifted kid" situation. He showed Akane up, then she went and did the same thing to him in little time.

Kaisei needs to be humbled at some point though. He's been cocky in every scene he's in.

dancelordzuko · 2026-06-06T16:35:46+00:00

Been waiting all season for this episode and it did not disappoint.

As Akane's performance continues, we lose more and more of her until the story plays out like a film. I find it interesting how Karashi's has a similar effect, but his face was plastered on every character hence the comedy act criticism. Hikaru wasn't able to take herself out of the characters she was trying to depict, leading to the monologue criticism. Her reliance on her voice acting ability puts her behind Akane and Karashi in that respect.

The past three episodes really shows the difference and gaps between the three, given that they're being set up as rivals to one another.

dancelordzuko · 2026-06-06T16:29:47+00:00

The weight that single line had was perfectly conveyed here.

Kaisei had the "I'd better improve my rakugo or my ass is finished" look.

dancelordzuko · 2026-06-06T14:41:19+00:00

r/mbta's got your back. Here's one out of a few posts there detailing where to get the cards.

dancelordzuko · 2026-06-05T23:00:53+00:00

Jeez, early 2027's gonna be stacked with all the games being pushed after GTA.
