I think this is the first time I really felt that I had control of my stroke direction and size with a tablet. These aren't much but they kind of surprise me during a doodle session. That cockroach oval. A product of proper mapping and Krita not having any weird and annoying input lag. You also can have like a much larger brush size than you usually need if you get used to how hard you press. Far easier to adjust thickness on the fly. In other programs, I always felt like I needed to manually adjust more frequently. Then there's the ease of choosing highlight and shadow colors. And no, just using white or black is not the proper way since the tone of the color will be off. And now I'll have some nightmare about a monster with fleshy eyelashes. It came to mind and now I cannot unsee it. It's pose to be a floating eye with the nerves dangling... a monster with fleshy eyelashes is more terrifying. Edit: I also realize that I wish a drawing program that can emulate changing thickness and opacity of pencil strokes. Impromptu coloring on the spot. Maybe Krita has it but it seems like the tablet software would need to determine thickness with pen orientation and opacity by how hard you press. Back to fleshy eyelashes monster.

Third Demons and Wizards album in the works!

If you put it that way, I guess I have to prepare my anus since I have a feeling I know who you are talking about. The structure is nice in that it allows for these expositions that otherwise cannot happen. And yeah, that first door was really long but I enjoyed it. As more about the structure, I doubt you or anybody would've like a Grand Tour of Librel again. Only way I would do it is if we have full control of where to go and do like we did towards the end of SC. Being a bracer was fun.

3rd really hits a nice sweet spot in terms of difficulty. In SC I never traded in sepith for money and I did it quite rarely in FC. 3rd is pretty much right off the bat you need money and it appears to keep you quite money starved. The doors are quite rarer than board requests and you need certain character(s) to trigger them. Reviving is quite the feat at the moment since nobody has the revival art and the revival items are quite expensive. I think I might be forced to use the cooking! I rarely used it in the previous games but I do recall I cheap sounding revival items in the recipe book... As for the battles, most of them you have to think as I resource manage so I don't get beaten back to base since I'm pretty under-equipped at the moment. I can hit hard but I also can quickly be overwhelmed if I'm not careful enough. As for the narrative, I'm really enjoying it. I guess it comes with the territory of knowing these characters through two full length RPGs. I should note though, 3rd's performance seems to be the worst of the three. I'll have to fine tune it but frames drops are kind of annoying.

Not anime but please send help. I'm not sure if I should cheer up.

Schindler's List About time I watched this.

Sabaton live is quite something. You'll get a work out.

Ditto since it's 25% off if you have Bayonetta. And you know what game I want to see ported and remastered? Metal Wolf Chaos by From Software. Released for the Xbox in 2004. Super patriotic game.

FBI Director James Comey has been fired. After (I) getting swooned by Sally Yates for doing her job, something that House Republicans can't seem to do, we get the above.

Cold Steel 3 releases in Japan on September 23rd. The wait begins. I expect one and a half years from now if XSEED works on it. NISA would be longer and any changes will be jarring. Falcom, please do no fuck this up. And I realized that for people who only follow Cold Steel, they won't know who some of these characters are.

And if I recall, the lyrics to that Batman song is the writers or some group names but pronounced backwards. Apparently they were getting shafted so that was one way to get them recognition.

France seems to have avoided the madness that plagued the UK and USA last year.

Essentially money laundering. And I guess I should read replies that's on the next page. G2A can go suck a bag of dicks.

Numerically it may be small but hopefully it's enough by week's end for internal murmurs of Crossbell localization at Falcom and XSEED.

Oh. You're one of those Eris heathens.

The reason there are ghosts is not only because of lingering regrets but you get recycled into a new person or thing(s). Most ghosts are just running from the law.

I believe so. And Konosuba is more about it's comfy EDS than their OPs.

ONE MORE DAY TEN YEARS IN THE MAKING -------------------- ^^^^^ Obvious spoiler for some stuff in the first two games. I wonder if Kevin getting rebalance to be a more all-rounder. I had him as a tank healer that fire off okay arts. I could've tuned him to be the third best after Kloe and Oliver but still, it'll be odd to be separated from Estelle. I'm guessing Ries is going to be the offense now but she doesn't shine like the sun. Yet. I also got to say, the weapons are getting more super, for a lack of a better term. I would say anime but ridiculous super weapons aren't only found in anime. It's not bad but it's odd to see after mostly grounded weapons.

They're doing it at night so he doesn't fall into a ditch that's in from of that cutout at night and get stuck with nobody to get him out. Either way, it's for his own safety and he gets to be with his waifu all day.

Ys games are on sale on GOG so it's a good as time as any to give them a whirl. For the series as a whole, I think the most major flaw of Ys' gameplay is just how clear cut of a difference one level up can make. This comes into play when dealing with normal enemies where one level up is all the difference it can be between not being able to kill them to being able to do anything to them or straight up murder them. Bosses are fine though since at that point you're essentially dealing with a puzzle and reflexes. It should be noted that Origin has three playable character arcs. You have to play all three to get the real ending. Each character are built differently from each other so how they go about the tower are quite different. I think this is where the argument of whether Oath or Origin is better comes from. I would say that Origin is more varied but the boss designs are less refined, I suppose? In Oath you only play as one character, Adol the Badass (essence of the whole Ys story). In turn Falcom was able to tune the whole game around him. With that all said, they're still fantastic games. I do a yearly replay of them. This should interesting. I wonder if Falcom are going to dive right into the lore stuff that they've been dancing around for so long. Like why is Adol is such a badass. As for Trails, what FLD said about lore and character. I also found SC to be harder. FC have a few things that you can do to easily overpower enemies and bosses. For example, Kloe's debuff move can stick to everything besides the last boss and it applies to both physical and arts damage. They're largely been rebalanced in SC. SC also rewards looking and planning ahead for gameplay and story which I don't recall in FC. 3rd seems to go even further and add in more gameplay elements. Then again, if you don't like the foundation then anything built on it might not interest you.

It can't be helped that 1) I am getting old, 2) Krita is a neat drawing software and 3) I naturally go for simple and cutesy style. All the better to contrast it with real life I guess. Let's see if I can practice out to a more serious style. And no, I do not have gray hair... yet. That's how I tend to look after neglecting my appearance for a few days combined with not cutting my hair. Cutesy-fied.
