Or I could play Pokemon Let’s Go.
Maybe I am! 
In my area, golf is popular given that there are a lot of older people with lots of money and free time. One of the guys I work with has a second job at the local golf club, and I actually stay in a townhouse located next to a different golf course.
I never got into it, myself. The concentration required for golf I could use elsewhere, such as not playing golf.
I am no good at golf but I am good at drinking and putt-putt. That’s like 2/3 of it I think.

Golf is a good walk spoiled.
fire emblem?
I think you mean fighty hogwarts
Swordwarts.
I actually liked Fire Emblem Fates for its aesthetic, but I agree that the shipping was way more the focus than the story or combat. Interesting how that game didn’t get as much fandom traction as Awakening did, despite leaning more heavily into a typically fan-positive direction.
Anyway, I think I’m gonna join the Black Eagles.

You wanna cut my throat? Go ahead. You wanna cut off my head and use it for a basketball? You can “bowl” with it for all I care, just don’t let this player from Moonguard/Tichondrius/Silver Hand do it!!! I don’t wanna be killed by this filthy off-server jerk. I wanna be killed by a WYRMREST ACCORD jerk!

Wasn’t Fates the one where your brother kills himself so you don’t have to kill him? I think Lianshi was telling me about that once and it sounded pretty intense. Alas, I don’t own a 3DS.
I joined the Golden Deer and Claude is an enjoyable companion, plus Leonie, Lysithea and Hilda are all dominators on the field and a good source of dialogue off of it. Raphael is a beast too.
Edelgard and Dimitri both seem cool, but Hubert is kinda creepy and Dedue? has a stupid name. Though Lorenz is also borderline insufferable. I’m looking forward to their stuff once I finish up the first round regardless.
One thing I will say is that I wish I understood the class system a little better and what would be required to pass the advanced tests. Now that I know, going through it again should be a breeze.
Possibly whoever wrote the script for “Tango and Cash”.

It was oddly more comforting to get moonfired by Quill while Stormrise Warband took over the Cathedral in SW, or to get chased by Tymon and Prier while I tried to make it out of Tol Barad alive. Thane and her guild kicks me out of Darnassus? No problem. It was practically family. The situation atm has me facing overwhelming numbers outside of a group setting on both factions, and it’s hardly ever from this server. The last part of that is what bothers me to the utmost. 0 familiarity. I almost feel like we have been slighted. At this point all I can do is joke about it.

Familiarity can’t really exist in an environment where meaningful rewards are provided, since the addition of rewards in an MMO setting requires the gathering of them to be efficient, which familiarity is not.
This was one big problem i ran into with warmode and crz/sharding. i have a long history of playing on servers like VeCo and ED where there are cross faction, multi-guild RPPVP campaigns spanning years that involve dozens, if not hundreds, of players. You all grow to know one another and have friendships and rivalries and everyone involved knows each other and enjoys interacting and competing. Floods of people from off-realm and the splitting up of these communities by splitting them onto other shards with outsiders who have no interest in the server history or the community bonds takes a big dump on years of community ties and friendships.

Grand Marshal was a meaningful reward and the people coordinating their honor were definitely familiar with one another. When I saw Meta in Nagrand (speaking of meaningful rewards) I knew it was time to make use of the buddy system or run.
I guess I’m not getting your point. Then again I’m a Nightborne Mage that uses cantrips 20 yards from a mailbox. It’s not too difficult to catch me unaware.

BC was a long time ago, though. PvP was more robust, along with the community, and the rewards mainly stayed in their own lane. If you weren’t bothered by PvP, a Grand Marshal probably wouldn’t impress you. But if it did, then it would–the meaning was mostly subjective.
Whereas today, the rewards from War Mode are meaningful insofar as they are basically mandatory. PvP rewards are PvE rewards and War Mode awards both. BfA is a system of grinds–grind for rep, grind for Azerite, grind for loot–and the goal of a grind is to figure out how to do it the most efficient way possible. When the rewards of PvP affect those grinds, the goal becomes about getting it done efficiently, familiarity and community be damned.
It’s true that the titles of old were meaningful, but their meaning (mostly) was self-awarded based on the community. Gear was there, as well, but it wasn’t the only way to get it–whereas there was only one way to get Grand Marshal and that was through a lot of PvP.
War Mode disincentivizes that, though, because community isn’t efficient. Fighting the same player across a zone as you attempt to one-up each other is a lot of fun, but in BfA, you can’t help but wonder how much time you’re wasting by doing it. How far behind the grind are you falling? How far into Pathfinder could you get if you didn’t chase that gnome across Nazjatar?
Plus, BfA is just unpleasant to play.
In the end, PvP rewards don’t carry the same weight because Blizzard didn’t want to be bothered to make them meaningful.
My opinion is that wpvp rewards should never have been added (unless we’re talking about TBC era wpvp objective buffs such as zone-wide “horde deals 5% bonus dmg to npcs in this zone for 1hr” type rewards). PVP for the sake of PVP lets those who enjoy it participate and those who don’t enjoy it don’t feel like they’re having their arm twisted to toggle on warmode for PVE incentives.

This kind of ties in to something else that bothers me- I like PvP and doing a little bit of everything. What I DON’T like is HAVING to do everything just to stay competitive in PvP. Only doing BGs or relying on it for gearing is not enough. You HAVE to go do rep grinds to get that essence you want or WQ to raise your neck, etc. On the flip side, Kasskeelhaul pointed out to me that it doesn’t make sense for PvE rewards to be locked behind PvP either.
If you are a PVEr or RPer who wants all the crafting recipes, you have to find some way to earn those honor marks and while it isn’t -too- hard, if someone was adamantly against it they’d be out of luck. They even mentioned how the Legion profs did this by locking some recipes behind RBG wins. Like why?
People who only like one part of the game shouldn’t have to submit to the other parts they don’t enjoy just to be able to compete in the things they do. Like islands. Sure, no one is FORCING you to do those things. But it is time you have to spend doing things you don’t like just to be able to do the things you do like better and it just seems like another way to keep us in the hamster wheel.
