"My preference, personally I'd say oversteer."

Oscar, I knew I chose you well. 🥰

#oscar 🤝 max 🤝 charles + preferring oversteer #my beautiful fast babies #oh and ham too i guess #'my rear may be loose but i am fast and freeeeeeeee' #strong front ends united #istg preferring understeer is one of the most telltale signs of a mid driver (looking at those rb/ferrari second drivers right now) #except alonso #he is the only freak of nature and fast driver who prefers understeer #elle.txt

#this is definitely not just a ploy to hear all the wonderful pet names you came up with👀 #i chose my own because i felt like Nate deserves something special #i wanted it to be as meaningful as his pet name for MC is #Arya is calling him “szívem” #it means “my heart” #because Nate and Arya complement each other so well #they are definitely soulmates #my heart & my soul #they are each other's lobsters🦞 #I'm a sucker for affection and cute relationship moments #one of my favourite things of book 3 was the reveal of the mutual pet names #i absolutely adored N's reaction when MC first called them by the pet name #i wish we could have had more of an in-game reaction when Nate first called MC ya rouhi #detectives with no knowledge of foreign languages don't even find out what it means🥺 #but luckily my detective is fluent in many #it's such a tender moment when Nate tucks MC in bed #i also loved the alternative first reveal but still prefer the bath scene #n sewell #nate sewell #unit bravo #wayhaven #the wayhaven chronicles #twc book 3 spoilers #twc book 3 #twc #nathaniel sewell #pet names

my ex, who lives alone, is apparently about to buy a 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom, 2-garage house. what. i'm getting stressed out just hearing about it. tf you gonna do with all that space, bro? how you gonna clean all those bathrooms???

#he's like well i want one room for my home office and one room for my hobby and one guest room #add in a bedroom for him and that's still only 4 bedrooms? you have an entire extra bedroom???? #plus an extra garage??? #damn he thinks he's lonely now but dude just you wait until you spend every day ALONE IN A FIVE-BEDROOM HOUSE #trying not to project too much onto him but i really think this is absurd outside of my own preferences #he's been stressed living in his 1b apt bc his hobby takes up a lot of space #but i think this is just another example of his general propensity to treat the symptoms and not the disease #the problem is he's overcommitting & extending himself too much & he never finishes anything #that's what actually stresses him out #so him in a 5b house is just going to be him filling all that space with stuff until he's stressed again #anyway i have NO IDEA how to react to this because i think it's such a bad idea #i'm really bad at faking things i don't feel but i feel like it's too late to say 'wyd bro???' because apparently his offer was accepted #i did ask him how he's going to clean 4 bathrooms and he said he's just not going to use them #also it feels weird morally for a single (rich) man to buy an entire 5b house only for him in the middle of the seattle housing crisis #not like if he didn't buy it someone else would buy it and make it into affordable housing units so maybe it doesn't matter #still feels weird though and contributes to me not knowing how to react #if you have any advice for me followers...i am all ears #i've been really floundering on how to be a supportive friend to him lately #just really struggling with how to engage with him when it feels like he's his own worst enemy #and like it's not that he needs to have the same priorities as me it's just that he comes to me all stressed out and idk how to react #bc 'no shit you're stressed out. have you tried making completely different choices?' isn't a great option lol

[varietysky]

I wish it was socially acceptable to hiss like a cat at people. it conveys much more than words sometimes. like,, go away lol

#post inspired by yet another unanounced friend of my roommate staying over who's been here since thurs :) #p sure it's the same friend as last time #seriously how hard is it to tell the ppl who actually pay rent here that 1) you're having someone stay over #and 2) how long they'll be here #mia posts a thing #also im gonna have to start eating dinner much early or much later into the night so i csn guarantee kitchen time #i dont mean to be rude but i cant wait for that one roommate to move out next month lol #just hope she doesnt sublease her room cuz i'd prefer just 3 ppl in the unit at this point

I see a lot of people saying that the royals (mostly Alfred, but I’ve seen a fair bit of complaining about all the others too) are statistically bad in Engage. I have to wonder, what difficulty is this based off of? On my Hard playthrough most of the royals were my best units, and Alfred in particular was amazing. Ivy and Celine were probably the weakest two - Ivy due to being a bit slow and having AWFUL dex and luck, and Celine just lacking power due to splitting her attention between strength and magic.

Is it just Maddening that they’re specifically bad for? I have not (and will not) played that mode in any FE but my impression is very much that Maddening mode is a different experience and you’re basically forced to play a certain way to win. That’s probably even more true here since fixed growths are in play, so you can’t count on RNG to give you good units. You have to find the ones that the game wants you to use, and stick with them.

For me, one of the biggest joys of FE has always been the RNG of it all - I love the random growths meaning different characters shine (and suck) each run, which encourages you to give different units a try. I love that, at least on Normal and Hard, you have enough breathing room to basically play how you want - favor the units of your choice, reclass whoever into whichever classes you fancy, etc - and doing so MIGHT make your life harder but probably won’t doom your entire run. The versatility and random nature of your units growths makes strategy & combat in this game infinitely more appealing and adds to its replayability.

Like I LOVE Persona games and Stella Glow (which gameplay wise is fairly similar to FE) but in those games the characters are what they are, and the stats on level-up are set in stone. Once you’ve done ONE run and know what works, Complacent Gaming kicks in and you repeat the exact same steps in future runs. In FE even if you use the same characters in the same classes, their performance WILL vary based on how blessed or cursed the RNG has been for them.

If Maddening IS as difficult and particular as I’m assuming, and basically every unit’s viability is determined from the moment you get them and you HAVE to play a specific way to win... is it really right to judge units based on that specific difficulty? Like, sure, so-and-so SUCKS on Maddening, but so does EVERYONE except this specific handful of units and if you use anyone else you’re just hurting yourself.

I feel like we should be judging characters based off a difficulty where everyone is at least VIABLE from the beginning, but judging how likely they are to REMAIN that way based on their growths/classes/personal skills/etc.

To put it another way, what would a tier list of a Maddening run look like? My impression is that it has two, maybe 3 categories of who you can actually use, who gets benched immediately, and MAYBE a middle category of who exists to fill a spot on the team and take a few hits/deal a smidge of damage for just a little while until someone better comes along to replace them. Meanwhile on Normal and Hard you can have a full spectrum of who on average is statistically the best through the worst, with everything in between. And considering several “unusable” units on Maddening are at least GOOD or even better on a normal or hard run, can you really call them bad? At the very least CLARIFY you mean they’re bad on Maddening specifically instead of in general.

#fire emblem #fire emblem engage #fe17 #happy for all the people who love maddening mode out there but it's Not For Me #for one i am a casual gamer that doesn't hate myself. I want a challenge but not TOO MUCH #(this is the same reason i don't fight superbosses in KH games. it's equivalent to smashing my head repeatedly against a brick wall IMO) #and if i'm right about how maddening works it also sounds like it takes the most fun aspect of FE out of it for me #since i'd be railroaded into using specific characters and strats instead of being able to play however i want with whoever i want #basically i want people to clarify if they mean maddening mode specifically when they call units awful #because i'm not bothered at all by people saying ANYONE is bad on maddening. i believe you i guess. i also don't care. #maddening plays by a distinctly different set of rules so i barely think of it as the same game #any FE veteran would tell you not to waste EXP on your pre-promote in the beginning #yet awakening lunatic is affectionately called Frederick Emblem so... i've learned to think of that difficulty as its own entity #but most units can be used on hard and the royals specifically are mostly still GOOD on hard #if i had polls i might not have made this post at all btw. because really what i want to know COULD be condensed into poll questions #what difficulty do you prefer/think is default/judge characters by & were the royals GOOD units for you? #anyway my second (hard) run is underway and alfred CONTINUES to be a great unit for me #about to go into chapter 10-11 and alcryst and diamant are doing great so far too #celine however is struggling. she is REALLY hurt by trying to be physical AND magical. she ends up middling in both #she might end up outright benched in this run

now heres the thing is my rule is i have to live on my own for a year before im allowed to get a pet but also consider what if i had a little friend .

#in my heart i want a wawa so badly it hurts but alsoooo i worry quite a bit bc like. i work full time... so el wawa would be at home alone a #lot and one thing about the beautiful adorable majestic chihuahua is they have to pee every 3-4 hours. so i would have to have some way to #let them out OR keep them outside while im at work but another thing is 1. apartments dont generally have backyards #2. chihuahuas get cold very easily .... i could do some ssort of doggy daycare but i fear that would be expensive .... and i hate pee pads #and would prefer not 2 use them so i dont rly have much optionn 😭 but i want a chihuahua so badly. #but ALSO. a kitty cat.... i love cats i think theyre really quite sweetsies and also i think they could handle living in an apartment bette #esp since famously cats use the bathroom indoors. u may know. #so... i could potentially get a kitty..... but also i dont want to get one until im absolutely positive i could take good care of it and i #feel like i could esp now that ive got a system that works so well 4 motivating me to do my daily tasks yk. and also i think if i had my ow #apartment id feel a lot safer just like. being up and around the apartment so thatd be good... but also pets r expensive. but also the apt #i just applied to is rly quite cheap (like 1050 a month) its income restricted but i qualify by like a lot LMAO... n this would be perfect #bc 1050 is likee. not even a full paycheck i could pay rent with 1 paycheck and still have like 150 left over and then my other paycheck fo #the month is fully mine... so i could save up lots #+ wsg is included in the rent whichhh is insane. adn the apartment is cute and Trust . alarm bells were going off a bit bc i was like maybe #this is too good to be true we all remember the 800$ scam incident. but its a verified listing and i checked the propertymanagers and theyr #legit... its even got a washer and dryer IN UNIT and also a fitness center which is good bc i wanna try n start doing more cardio... #IT EVEN HAS A FIREPLACE i dont particularly need a fireplace but its cool 2 have one i could make smores right in my very own living room #AND ITS NOT A STUDIO its a 1 br... #grahhh i rly rly rly want ittt ik i prolly wont get it but :[

Crying. Language is fun

#Yeah I know spanish kind of #Actually I just got this in the mail recently. I got a silver seal of biliteracy #Not a gold one. That lets you know my skills in spanish #It's actually really complicated but actually not complicated at all. I just don't like sharing personal info. but here goes #My parents were both raised speaking spanish and then moved to the united states and had to learn english. At different ages #My father was around 11 and my mom was like 18 #So that is actually reflected in their english speaking. My mother has a strong accent and my father doesnt #Anyways they came to the US young and then grew up and had kids and I am one such kid #And I was raised hearing them speaking spanish and english #And then raised in a school system that is only english #And I never took any classes in spanish for some reason #So. Yeah. #my mother prefers speaking in spanish and my father kinda prefers english but don't tell him I said that #So I'll reply accordingly and I'll speak in spanish to my mom but #Since everyone here is bilingual we'll speak whichever is best #And I don't have to use proper grammar in spanish to be understood #And I'll usually just speak improperly and in spanglish #So yeah #i'm also like one of those classic burnt out gifted kids so like I'm like REALLY good at english #So it shocks and apalls me that I'm not as good at spanish #Silver seal of biliteracy babyyy #I'm gradually learning to be prpud of myself for difficult things. Even when they aren't as grand and amazing as I expect them to be #So I should be proud #I took a native spanish class for two years in high school with many people who were much different from me and preferred spanish #I got used to it. I got used to spanish #Also I almost forgot about this but I've been going to church in spanish all my life #And I went through like communion classes too in spanish #And then I went to like a retreat and became a part of a church group that only spoke spanish. That was fun. A fun time #I learned a lot about the world from that and specifically about spanish #My mom was happy that I went to that

I FIGURED OUT WHY I DONT LIKE TRICKSTARS MUSIC

#there isn’t enough variation in their voices!! #most units have noticeably different pitches and such but all of their voices are the same!! #that also explains why I like bigbang revolution but nothing else by them #cuz there’s different pitches in that song!! #there’s also a bit of personal preference where their style just isn’t my favorite but I already knew that #this makes so much more sense #if one of them had a higher voice or if there were just a few more high notes in the songs I’d probably like it better #enstars

okay so i Finally went back to the korean blog to get translations of the 6/23 update QNA,, and i wanted to share these snippets from questions 9 + 10:

so they addressed why l. baretta was released as a $45 hero and not a $27 one right,, and I Think it's essentially down to them wanting to have more variety with the releases of paid hero packages?? i think this might also mean that the predictability we've had with the prices Could vary depending on what they're planning,, but i'm not Entirely Sure since they didn't give us a whole lot of specific detail

#lord of heroes #loh #thought it would be worth sharing because i know a few others were concerned about the random price change #for me personally...i would very much prefer if they kept releasing paid units with the cheaper price and not the expensive one #it's just less money to worry about spending + it's easier to plan ahead when you Know the pattern for paid units because of avillon times #thanks l. lairei for starting this new pattern last june <33 #but anyway. i'm mostly worried about my remaining wishlist heroes getting released as paid units but they're the more expensive price #like my wallet will be shaking with fear if that becomes a reality

...Stories with no hope or future in sight where the characters can’t even fight back give me the icks.

#Vic speaks his mind #Like #I don't mind tragedies? #One of my favorites is of course Macbeth. #But holy shit stories where people have no way to fight back and no hope give me the squicks. #Especially as a black queer person living in the united states? #Oof. #No thanks. #This post was brought to you by #A youtube video about a dnd horror story #Like holy shit. #I get having different needs in terms of story telling but UGH #I prefer stories with happier endings #thank you.

[starswallowingsea]

i love love love the d4dj gameplay but having each unit have its own stories for the main story is very overwhelming and i just keep putting it off and uhm. its going to take a minute for me to catch back up

#like 10+ chapters behind for pretty much every unit #much prefer just the one main story for enstars with the event stories. #oh speaking of events i dont understand how d4dj events work and at this point im too afraid to ask /ref #im already rank 30 but im like. just vibing playing songs #i need to level up some of my cards at some point. maybe i should do that rq with my merm4id and rondo cards #shay speaks

[t4tbedehopmar]

wait is the next enstars event gonna be halloween themed already or are they gonna wait for the next next one

#my dream is. crazy:b event and then shuffle unit w halloween theme. and preferably w rinne shu ibara or yuzuru #yuzuru being one of the 5* ofc he deserves it #i wldn't be mad if instead of crazy:b it was yuzuru fine event either. he deserves more attention goddammit

treat yourself

#i've been reading SO MUCH you guys #and the libby app is so damn convenient #and getting a library card was so easy #only needed one piece of mail with my address #my taxes already pay for the service and what a wonderful service it is #may as well use it!!!! #today im reading a queer history of the united states by michael bronski #who knows what i will read tomorrow! #there are so many options!!! #and it's free and if i don't like a book i just return it early #and if i haven't finished a book or the one i want isn't available i just put it on hold for my turn #and there's a tagging system in the app to keep track of what i have read and what i want to read and more #and there are audiobooks too #and you can read through kindle or other apps as you prefer #it's just so great you guys #if your country has access to libby #treat yourself with a library card

i can’t risk threatening to withhold rent but if my landlady doesn’t fix or replace the air conditioner unit in the apartment there’s going to be hell to pay

#don't reblog this! thank you #day before i moved in when i got keys from her i was like 'hey this AC unit is very moldy can i please get this cleaned up before i move in' #day i moved in i was like 'hey there the air conditioner is still very moldy and needs to be serviced or replaced' #and she drags her feet for 5 days before simply emailing to tell me she'll get to it this week #lo and behold: it's this week #and i can't run the insanely moldy air conditioner during a heat wave #i would prefer not to have to threaten her with legal action over this #because i'd like to renew my lease here and stay put for at least a few years #i'd like to not have to move again for a while thank you #but if she leaves me with no other choice then... #i'm either going to call someone myself to clean it for me #or replace it myself #i'm one anger-inducing moment 🤏🏻 away from punching that thing out of the wall and onto the ground below #dairy.txt
