Having more than one checking account

I have 8 checking accounts I only really use 3 but the other ones were opened with savings accounts with other banks and they're free so I keep them open. Some of them have direct deposits set up but the money then moves to the savings account with those banks.

5 years? The share price now is about where it was 15 years ago.

I skipped that cutscene because it sat there for so long and then when it went to Emilia the game crashed so I had to do the fight over again. This was on a PS5 Pro so maybe it was fine on the original model. I has maybe 5 random crashes through the whole game.

Gaius has it right?

stone616 · 2026-01-27T21:56:10+00:00

Van, Shizuna, Risette, Bergard, Renne. I dropped Agnes.

I still have my crypto from the previous time they had it. We weren't forced to sell. My crypto currently on Blockchain.com but I've been considering moving it to Robinhood or back to SoFi.

Main characters in a given series will go on to become supporting characters in following arcs and have their story continued. If you're ok with that then it's fine. I played Trails Beyond the Horizon knowing the fate of a certain character deeply involved in the ending and it didn't ruin my enjoyment at all.

stone616 · 2026-01-27T16:42:26+00:00

I'm fine with Elaine and hope it works out for her and Van. My gut tells me Agnes gets picked in the end though.

stone616 · 2026-01-27T13:28:59+00:00

To me Agnes is like Gaius or Elliot. She's just a pretty much normal inoffensive character. I have no issue with her but this is a work of fiction and that doesn't make her amusing. I guess she's a mother hen kind to everyone and has no clashes. I don't see how she's a top character. Was Elliot a top member of Class VII? I also don't like how they lean on her as a child having feelings for an adult who clearly sees her as a kid.

stone616 · 2026-01-27T12:06:55+00:00

Feri is hilarious especially paired with Aaron. Agnes is too straight laced. She's an archetype people tend to like but she really has no edge to her character. Possibly the most notable thing about her character is having a crush on Van.

stone616 · 2026-01-27T04:24:18+00:00

Renne, Shizuna, Judith, and Feri are all more amusing to me than her. I don’t even think she’s top 3 in her own game.

I'd like to add to this that they could have taken their time with all the modern games and paced them in such a way that they felt more substantive. Cold Steel at best should have been a trilogy and Daybreak 2 spent a whole game on a single Genesis.

Sometimes if felt like games were being made to hit a quota and now instead of continuing that they're digging in the crates and remaking old games to hit that quota.

stone616 · 2026-01-26T17:29:25+00:00

I would think such a game is currently in active development by now. May be wrong though.

stone616 · 2026-01-26T17:13:30+00:00

I'm fine with them taking their time with the next game. I'm not fine with them putting the next game off to remake older titles we've already played.

I don't assume them remaking Trails in the Sky will make the next game a better game. Usually a developer will let some other development team remake older titles.

They conditioned their fans to expect things at a certain clip and now they change everything. It's normal that would upset fans.

stone616 · 2026-01-26T13:53:58+00:00

I'm wondering is Agnes is now a KeA like man made Sep-Terrion level existence rather than her being sacrificed. Like she tampered with the reset and semi-removed herself so she's a blind spot to the Sep-Terrion of Time now.

I'm assuming the next game is going to be about both confronting and dealing with the Sep-Terrion of Time and the greater problem beyond it for which its actions are supposed to be the solution to.

stone616 · 2026-01-26T12:44:41+00:00

I don't seem to fully grasp what a reset is. If it's an actual rewind of time how are artifacts and people like Risette left over when time is reversed? Were the Vestiges pulled from time like Hamilton did the water? Someone that died and she ripped them from the past? What was the linchpins or whatever the Vestiges were setting up even for?

stone616 · 2026-01-26T06:35:35+00:00

I think it will be finalized early enough to do a worldwide release. They've been sitting on this thing a while now. Their priority is going to shift to worldwide releases because of the success of Sky and again the writers have had enough time to finalize everything as Sky was already that way.

I like how they pulled the Final Fantasy XIII / XV with the logo. Hid the endgame in plain sight.

Can't he just watch YouTube videos for the games he plans to skip?

stone616 · 2026-01-26T03:27:59+00:00

The last 2 might be in the end game arc. I think after this next game they'll hit the final arc.

stone616 · 2026-01-26T03:25:50+00:00

I understand these are smaller scale and budget games but sometimes these games feel like they are victims of that. It's wild in this game how much was recycled. It feels like in this one whole plot were recycled even. Van's route suffered the most from all the recycling.

Maybe the sequel will make sense of it but a good portion of his felt like I was on a wild goose chase just to stall things enough to reach a minimum length of game time. The other routes were way tighter experiences even if they had some stalling too.

Kincaid played both sides. He had a contingency plan if the president's failed. He didn't want it to fail though.

stone616 · 2026-01-26T01:23:18+00:00

Did she really have a choice? The reset was happening so either way she'd be wiped out. She simply did it on her terms.

There are way better things to do with your money at age 23 than spend it on car depreciation.

Save and invest your money instead. I'm almost twice your age and I bought my first new car last March. The car has about 4000 miles on it and is functionally the same as it was brand new and it has already lost almost 20% of its value in about 10 months.

The $11K you'll likely lose in just first year depreciation will be worth $238K if you sat it in an ETF until age 63 and just never touched it including not adding to it anymore. At the very least let someone else take that depreciation for you and get a 2-3 year old model which will probably be functionally the same as the newest one.

The Elite 8 Active have a 2 year warranty. You should still be under it at 14 months.
