Happy new year!

Merry Christmas!

The problem is not Trump himself, but all the people he is surrounding himself with. Clinton would also pick Goldman Sachs people just like Trump did, but she would not pick a guy who thinks the EPA should not exist as the head of EPA nor would she pick someone against public education to head the Deparment of Education. Also there will be more corporate welfare (while railing on welfare for people) as the Carrier deal shows. He also has appointed people who want to be at war with Iran already.

Is canon really going to stop people from shipping?

How dare Blizz put politics in my games! They should be putting in more terrible microtransaction loot boxes!

Packed all my presents early for the first time ever! lol

Dear Santa, please give me a KATANA of Glorious Nippon Steel, folded over 1000 times.

I'd have to say Senran Kagura because of Yagyuu and Hibari.

Huh, a yuri end for Gundam is looking plausible. More emphasis on Atra and Kudelia liking each other, but Mika still doesn't particularly care and is starting to death-flag

If this turns out to be true, I will go back and pick up season 2 after dropping it due to loss of interest.

Because Kudelia x Atra is my OTP (and I don't need to jump through hoops like for other Gundam pairings).

Shiny!

Not canonically but that is definately something you could headcanon if you want to.

So Yen Press is releasing this as digital and paperback. Ugh, I already have 8 volumes in Japanese, so I'm not sure which version I will settle on.

Nico's like "This again. -_-"

It's my favorite as well. It was the first one in Love Live! that I liked, and I was all aboard as soon as they popped up in the anime, lol.

Cuteness overdose for me.

If you do ship NozoEli and NicoMaki, don't forget Nico gets revenge on Eli, aka the third wheel of BiBi.

My understanding is it is spawned accidentally from one of the music videos.

I haven't watched Iron Blooded Orphans in like 6 weeks. The second season hasn't really reinvigorated any of my interest after that awful ending of the first season. (Not killing certain characters was very dumb, because of how it was shown). Atra and Kudelia aren't enough to carry the show for me (though Atra is my favorite character in the show).

I am Universal Century trash though so that may be why. Thunderbolt 2 will be fun. I do wish they would do Hathaway's Flash already.

I do want to see Char and McGillis interact. I think that would be a good fun thing to do in a Super Robot Wars game. Hell, since they seem to always throw in Unicorn too, then adding Full Frontal to the mix will be the usual fun. And add Haman there for more spice. (Garma and GaliGali interacting would be fun too, but they never do OYW anymore in SRW).

But the cafe was like mainly 8 users posting all the time. :P

Sounds like Discord killed the cafe.

I look forward to when they can reconcile. Teru and Saki can then dork around and Nodoka can be all like -_-

The sisters can introduce their wives to each other.

Would be an enjoyable thing to see Saki and Nodoka double dating with Teru and Sumire/Iforgettheothergirl'snamethatI thinkyoucanshipherwith.

Oh Teru, you dumb dumb.

As many have said before, the name hurt the game too. Calling it Dragon Age II instead of Dragon Age: Kirkwall made it seem like the game was going to be grander than Origins. II has a similar feel as Awakening did size wize and that was an expansion pack.

More games need to try the small conflict thing as it lets the story feel more intimate instead of everything being end of the world conflicts so sequels have to one up it with end of the universe conflicts.

Made me like Dragon Age 2 retroactivelly.

I thought I was crazy for thinking that too considering how Dragon Age 2 was hated on release.

I really disliked Dragon Age II at launch, but when I replayed it after playing Inquisituon (started a whole new DAO save too because its been years so I wanted to play all the DA games back to back) I really enjoyed it. In a trashy sorta way. I knew all the gameplay and map and story issues already, but this time I played it as a overblown story told by Varric and you know, it was enjoyable. Still really dumb (Anderd what did they do with you) but it was dumb fun and it played mostly like DAO while DAI plays too differently for me to enjoy it.

Dragon Age 2 wasn't so bad. Its main issue is that it was a rush job to release it soon after origin, which lead to corner cutting such as reusing an awful lot of the assets, especially the maps.

It had the benefit of finally dropping the Bioware narrative pattern of having a short intro, 4 "main" parts that could be done in any order, then one mission/quest that might allowed to ditch the last "main" one leading to the conclusion. They overused it for almost all of their games after neverwinter's nights that introduced it, so I was happy that they finally stopped doing that, it made their games kinda predictable.

The maps are the worst thing because they would use the exact same map for multiple different areas but just block off hallways with like giant slabs of concrete.

The gameplays is also too flashy. I liked the more methodical feel of DAO but DA2 isn't as bad as I remember it being.

DX11 mode is broken om Nvidia cards though so the game looks kinda ugly in DX9 mode.

Not a big fan of the similarities between Andromeda and Inquisition being shown here. As much as I liked inquisition, it felt far too much like a single player mmorpg to me: running around closing rifts, gathering collectibles, collecting herbs, doing menial tasks for completely forgettable random npcs laid out in the huge map, etc.

This is why I never finished Inquisition and did not enjoy it. Made me like Dragon Age 2 retroactivelly.
