  • Fall Guys event is stupid, but good, because the rewards from it are worthwhile. They put a whole lot of effort into making the emote, mount, and glamour. The hoodie dyes well and has some cool particle/glow effects, you can get a cute hat, etc. I’m not sure what they were going for with the 100 wins achievement title though, that just seems miserable. If it was 25 or something I would go for it.

    Aloalo variant is a good experience the first time through, but it does get a little repetitive having to fight the same mid boss 12 times and each other boss at least 3 times to get your mount. Mount again is really good though it will work better with some character models than others.

    I haven’t done the criterion but I’ve heard people like it. The trash isn’t as involved but from what i’ve seen the first boss is very difficult. And the savage upgrade item is a joke, everyone doing crit savage has bis anyway so it’s basically equivalent to an ultimate weapon glamour. I’m glad it at least gives a glow. Really it should be a complete weapon drop however, or trade in totem for weapon.

    Good patch overall especially for x.x1 content wise


  • I don’t think emulation is going anywhere. Well, it may become more illegal than it already is, but that’s not going to stop many people from continuing. We are already too good at file/software sharing and preservation.

    The ‘legal’ part of emulation (with precedent) is the development of emulator software through reverse engineering a console system. The angle Nintendo+co is most likely to attack is that emulator software allows users to circumvent first-party security restrictions that are meant to make games run only on authorized hardware, thus violating the DMCA.


  • FE engage is great. It feels really strategic, compact maps with powerful terrain effects and chokepoints to take advantage of, units don’t have a lot of movement, positioning and formation can let you do a lot of cool plays.

    The new mechanics, chain attack and break, are very powerful and interesting to play around both on player phase and enemy phase.

    The Emblems have some really powerful effects between AoE dance, AoE warp, a billion range nuke, +500 movement on one of your characters, and some other combat steroids. There are a lot of options and I think the game is fun on any difficulty.

    The story… uhhh, I liked when the Fire Emblem: Engaged. The plot is very generic and pretty much the same as a plurality of previous fire emblem plots. I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing.
