What are you Playing Now? Volume XIX: The New Beginning of the End of the Middle
From what I understand they just made it harder to oneshot. He now always plays first and you cannot burst him through phase 3. There is also enhanced Clea and Lampmaster with 5 lives. That is a fair way to judge it, I just put a lot less thought in to it. I never got sick of it and always looked forward going back to the Continent to hear the song. I can even vouch for encountering awkward cuts in the music, or no music at all or cuts to new songs. But somehow I never particularly mind it. As for the story, I don't think it's fair to compare it to an interactive game where choices change the content you play through. This is not that type of game and I think it's better for it. What I mean by that is if they tried to shoehorn in some reactivity it would have hurt the story overall. Even the 2 endings were unnecessary in my opinion and on that topic, I rewatched Maelle's ending on YT... I don't know who picks that and defends it. As for it being classical, idk what they are smocking... Maybe it's classical, like in Star Trek, where they play AC/DC as classical music... I guess the line for classical has to move at some point.

Finished Clair Obscure, did all that can be done apart from the bosses in the endless trials and have put almost 3.5 day in to the game, but I think it's enough. Don't feel the need to do them too, maybe I'll come back to them. All in all the game is fantastic, the story is a masterpiece (for a game) and I will definitely play whatever is next. Even knowing the main plot points beforehand, going through all the connecting material made it so much better. The side content is interesting and I don't think there was anything that felt like padding gameplay time wise. The combat mechanics, while not something I usually enjoy, had so many extra things to them that it was fun. There were some enemies early on that I had to learn to parry and do them the "intended way", but later on when the dmg cap is removed the fun moved to how high can the numbers go. That may be the only mark against the game, but then again maybe not. As always you are free to choose how to play and they give you the tools to do so. I respect that they didn't bang their head against people cheesing stuff and from what I see they even leaned in to it. The art style is pleasing, moody, fun and unique (at least from what I have seen). The music... That may be the greatest thing about this game. Kudos to the music department. The only knock against them is that there are no subtitles, especially for that poem in White Sand. That was a big miss in my opinion. The only thing this game is missing is that it's not a CRPG, but no accounting for taste and all that.

The TV and Streaming Thread: Enough episodes for syndication
Malcolm in the Middle - Life's still unfair. It's very good, or as good as it can be. The show feels like just another season with the family.

Getting nothing on firefox/ublock. I found firefox to be the best browser regarding blocking adds.

What are you Playing Now? Volume XIX: The New Beginning of the End of the Middle
@majestic he didn't even get his turn. This felt dirty... Works with Verso>Maelle>Sciel>Maelle too. Didn't get the chance to change the order... I should have tried to struggle a bit more on my own... But I think that Verso/Sciel combo would work, especially now that I know Cheater works on Sciels force turn spell. Verso was doing similar damage, if you account for the doubling from Sciel, but I'm not sure if I could have burned him through phase 3. Maybe I'll reload and try tomorrow, just to see how close it would get without needing to parry/doge. Edit: I do wonder how much time I would need to learn all the parries, and play him through all 3 phases. Can you even parry phase 3 moves? Probably not on a keyboard, or at least not on mine. I need to get a new keyboard... :D

I have it and the revives and the insta fill break bar and max weapons and lvl 88. At this point if I get lucky (on free aim AP gain) I can finish phase one in one turn. I think I can maybe use the double damage from Sciel on Verso and try to cheese him to phase 3. But I need some good dodges to get a couple of turns in phase 2.

Oh... So Simon is a f**k you boss... I guess I can time the last bit of his health so I can burst him before he wipes me. The issue I'm having is that I haven't really found a broken Lune build (I haven't touched her since I got Monoco) and have not touched Sciel. I guess I can learn the counters, but he really is a f y boss. I like it.

Not that I noticed, but then again I'm very strict with what I feed to the algorithm.

No clue, I was trying to be funny, I did a cursory google and nothing obvious popped up. All I know about Sabaton is this song.

Anime and Manga - New Season
The mangakas are barely producing chapters for the past year or two. Even the readers are looking forward to it, but sadly we are on a ship going to an island currently.

Anime and Manga - New Season
Oh, wow... There are only 10 episodes of Frieren this season and the next one is October 2027. So it didn't even go in to the main Arc, but just sort of announced it in the last episode. Wonder if this is due to the mangakas health and the hiatus of the manga.
