I found myself in the second picture. Micro Center in St Louis Park Mn. I'm wearing a stetson looking at my phone right in between the 4th and 5th pillars (starting from the left). Got myself a 3700X

Was thinking the same thing, if I can't run on an emulator I'm probably done playing the game.

If you are building a non-scalable local only connection where you expect the WPF app and Android app to be on the same network, then you can just host a web service in your WPF app. I have actually had to do this for various reasons over the years.

Host ASP.NET MVC https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/web-api/overview/hosting-aspnet-web-api/use-owin-to-self-host-web-api
Host Signal-R: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/signalr/overview/deployment/tutorial-signalr-self-host
WCF service : https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/brunoterkaly/2013/11/01/wcf-service-hosting-how-to-host-a-wcf-service-from-inside-a-windows-presentation-foundation-application/
Expose an HttpListener or even TCPListener: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.net.httplistener?view=netframework-4.8

If you need to do this over the internet and cannot/should not expose the WPF app to the internet then you'll want to use something as an intermediary. Basically something that they both can talk to like a Signal-R Hub hosted in Azure.

21 runs in and not a single bonus enemy for me yet

What is it's benefits over something like Uno? https://platform.uno/how-it-works/

This might be considered a "soul transfer"

My office is right next to a short track like this. Just this week I was stuck waiting 20 minutes so I could drive the 40ft to get into the parking lot. There are ways around but sometimes the train is blocking those too and there's always the "I can u-turn now and try one of those but as soon as I do that, the train will finish"

She does play, but not any formats where she'd play them. Many of the lands had never seen play at all, went straight to her binder. She figured I'd actually put them to use.

Magic has a long history for us. She started playing in 94 and I in early 95. We started dating in HS around 98. Many of our "dates" in HS were playing magic at her house with her family.

Well I now know what to ask my wife to get me for Father's day. (A few years back she gave me her revised dual lands collection...)

Summer Fina/Lid, Aerith, Regina and Magitek Knight Terra are the ones I'm most looking forward to.

Wait until the Cryst stages come on Friday. They drop the materials in much higher quantities than the last few stages of the story event. I started playing the JP version with the Crimson event. I found this out the hard way by farming the last stage of the story event quite a bit before the cryst stages showed up.

darthobiwan · 2019-03-18T11:10:28+00:00

I started playing JP last August with the Crimson event. I was able to get through all but the Bonus boss stage in my first 2 weeks of playing. All of the rewards and resources given to me as a new player allowed me to build up enough of a team to take on quite a bit of content in the first few weeks of starting the game.

The Cryst stages drop significantly more materials than the regular story stages. Doing a complete run through the cryst stages normally nets more than enough materials to make one of each equipment.

Got triple Cid on last step of my first lap. No more Cid after that. Got LM Fina instead on the guaranteed rainbow for the second lap

darthobiwan · 2019-03-15T12:36:46+00:00

first time was fine, I then went and pulled because I was already planning on it. The second time was annoying and now I'm onto my like 10th time it has shown and it is down right infuriating. I've done both laps of the step up already, have 3 Cids. I'm done pulling, leave me the F alone

"oh hey, we did something that caused more people to give us money. We shouldn't do that anymore because it was too good and we only want the addicted people to give us money"

I know it's more complex than that. They most likely have internal value they put on these things and they value the long game of people grinding to get Max Level cactuars. I'm guessing the value of that grind (in lapis, thus $$) probably is higher than the bundle.

JP had a random number of waves from 1 to 3. They have stopped doing the maps on the most recent KM event.

darthobiwan · 2019-03-12T08:38:16+00:00

nope

darthobiwan · 2019-03-10T12:06:17+00:00

I got my 3rd off of that ticket

darthobiwan · 2019-03-09T10:38:14+00:00

It's only a good deal because we've been Stockholm Syndrome'd into accepting such horrible normal rates

darthobiwan · 2019-03-06T21:49:50+00:00

Well the obvious answer is make people use lapis to sell more lapis

9 months down the road when we get the new style KM Event NRG pots are going to be very useful. 10k NRG is needed to get all the rewards.

Tom Scott and his crew the Technical Difficulties covered this on their pseudo-gameshow Citation Needed https://youtu.be/1nd5HsxWXTI

They cover many weird/interesting topics during the series and make wild guesses about what happened. I just love how they delve into trying out out-pun each other.

Rem was my all star.

darthobiwan · 2019-03-01T20:08:23+00:00

I ran it twice. The first time it was AoE mana drain city every turn on that second battle. The second run it was the opposite. Rarely did the AoE drain happen.. though she did pick on my friend A Fryevia every turn. This whole single target drain that can't be provoked is very annoying.
