GW2 broke me when I got to elite specializations on warrior, and had to choose between a dagger or a torch.
I have been thinking about the Train Scene in Madoka Magica.
Sayakaās reaction to those two guys is atypical of a normal Civilian reacting to injustice but how would a Rich Manipulative Gold Digger react to them?
One would think at the least she would see them as not worth swindling since the two guys are obviously misers desperately holding on to their wealth and yet would she see them as potentially wealthy?
Considering that possibility if the Gold Digger gauges the possibility of a Meal Ticket she could possibly arrange(via āaccidentsā) for all the Guysā Money to the nearest relative that can succumb to her charms.
Of course if the Gold Digger is Male he would swindle the guys pretty easily because their keeping Money from Women is because they assume that Women would waste it and thus not be on the lookout for Male Swindlers taking advantage of them.
The guysā attitude makes them a target one way or another either by someone enraged by their injustice(like Sayaka Miki) or by a schemer who sees them as an obstacle or means to Money.
On the subject of Madoka Magica: One would think the Magical Girls would wish up replacement sources of Magical Powers that are better(or worse) than Kyubey: Angels that can turn Girls into Angels that donāt have to worry about becoming Witches, Demons that turn Girls into Magical Girls that donāt become witches but have to be tortured before getting their powers, etc.
All Madoka did was attempt to change the current System rather than bring into existence an alternative system for potential Magical Girls to utilize. Same goes for the Wings of Magius!
Kyubey is right about how the Humans of the Madoka Magica Universe waste their Wishes and yet there are no schemers trying to exploit the system for their own endsā¦ Even the selfish Wishers aware of the nature of Witches donāt wish for(or get others to wish for) an alternative system to give themselves power or entertainment!
The Denizens of the Madoka Magica Universe lack Vision!
The thing is, at the moment I only actually have 5 abilities per element active at a time. But there are 4 elements. Combos are simple enough on their surface; you just cast two spells in a certain order, a field spell followed by a finisher, although theyāre all usable stand-alone. But lightning doesnāt have a finisher, and earth doesnāt have a field (when I have a staff equipped, at least). Swapping elements with F1-F4 changes the spells on your hotbar, and the utility / defensive spells donāt necessarily line up on the same button.
So I frequently have to mouseover and skim the tooltips mid-combat because Iām still getting used to the game. At the same time, enemies donāt have cast bars from what I can tell (unless Iām that inattentive?), so youāre reliant on watching their attack animations to know when to double-tap a direction to dodge. And you can only dodge twice in quick succession because thereās a stamina bar for it to prevent invincibility cheesing.
All I can say is thank goodness that elementalists seem unique in being unable to change their weapon mid-combat too, because your abilities change to match what you have equipped. Otherwise Iād have another 32 skills to try to juggle. Which Iām kinda doing anyway because Iām still trying to get a feel for what movesets seem the most enjoyable.
Itās not that the game hasnāt been fun, but I feel like I was just dropped in the deep end of a pool.
Apparently as long as you donāt go near the Fuel Rods you can safely swim in the Pools the Nuclear Fuel Rods of Power Plants are located in provided there is no security to shoot you dead.
INB4 some Self-Proclaimed Genius decides to make a Nuclear Power Plant for the sole purpose of making a fancy Hot Tub(which Iām sure needs Metal Grate Flooring to keep the people sitting in the Hot Tub from getting their feet near the Reactor Core not that it would hold forever as it will eventually give way and send whoever is in the center of the Tub to their swift demise).
Just a heads up: Iām sure whoever is reckless enough to get ideas from the above is also unaware that an active Reactor would boil the Pool so it would have to be huge and need Freezing Cold Water sent in to offset the danger!
MLK is now officially part of Fortnite
The latest Metroid Trailer and the Dread Reports that came with it indicate that the X Parasites normally donāt look the way we thinkā¦
One of the Boss Fights appears to be an X Parasite wearing Chozo Armor and the X Parasite is Black shockingly enoughā¦ Almost as if the X Parasites on SR388 were only glowing and translucent because of Aeion absorption.
Furthermore the Dread Reports indicate that the Chozo infused some Power into Samus and that she woke up with the Metroid Fusion Blue Color Schemeā¦
Considering how Sakamoto claimed that Samus absorbing the SA-X restored her original state(allowing her to use the Ice Beam) if I had to guess the Chozo was infusing Metroid DNA back into Samus so that sheād be able to kill the X-Parasite.
Considering this is the same guy who killed the Chozo on SR388 I would say that SR388 was a Testing Ground to eliminate X Parasites starting by exposing them to Aeion(explaining why SR388 X Parasites glow while ZDRās X Parasite is Black) and getting an adverse reaction the SR388 Chozo turned to inventing Metroids and got attacked by Metroids in turn getting the SR388 Chozo executed for failure.
Once the Chozo Leader discovered that Samus had the ability to absorb X Parasites he/she decided to face her directly and noticing that she had cured herself of Metroid DNA decided to capture and infuse her with Metroid DNA so that she can kill the X Parasites.
Iām sure we will learn the nature of Aeion(which Samus generates in Metroid Dread) and X Parasites in Metroid Dread.
I try not to double post, but I found some thing kinda neat just now. I donāt know if it is common knowledge, and I just missed the boat, but I figured Iād share. Mostly for Horde Players that do Merc Mode, but donāt enjoy being an Alliance Race :
I was doing some Merc Mode today on my Vulpera Rogue. When a Vulpera Merc Modes, they turn into a Mechagnome. During an AB match, I tried using the Umbrella to ease my fall from LM to BS, and it changed me back to a Vulpera! I was able to finish (and win) the match as a Vulpera Rogue on the Alliance lol.
So, maybe some BGs, like AB or Deepwind Gorge, that have places high enough for the Umbrella to work, you can be your original Horde Race. And you even keep the Alliance Racials. I had my little Mechagnome Racial produce Vulpera Rogues.

Since I have a few minutes left, I figured Iād drop a post here saying that I think I needed another long-coming break and unsubbed. Iām not stupid enough to think I wonāt come back or anything, because well, look at how long Iāve been here already. But since I have a big mouth posted often I figured I should at least say something somewhere about it.
Sorry for being so whiny. And wordy. Whoindy.

itās Strange that letting my sub lapse feels more relieving than I thought it would.

This is an old video but one I just watched recently. I think it applies not only to YouTubers and streamers but to players too. It goes for WoW especially because for a long time now a significant amount of players have complained about everything without looking to the positive sides and countering what they donāt like with what they do like. I know itās untimely to make this post due to the scandal and the stagnation that has happened recently, but even now there are still parts of the game that are enjoyable which I can bring up when talking to people along with the bad. There are people who play this game to only be negative and spout negativity as soon as something for the game is released.

The line about Team Rocket and Ash Ketchum being effected by Toon Physics while May lacking Toon Physics causes Drama gets me thinking:
Imagine a group of Magical Girls(who follow Toon Physics and have Magical Shielding to protect them from damage) falling from a cliff making a Crater shaped like themselves only to have the late Lady Ashvane or some other Fat Lady(following normal Human Physics) fall on them at Terminal Velocity with her stomach facing the ground/Magical Girls.
I personally would imagine Magical Girlsā Magic Shield Protection resulting in them tearing through Ashvaneās stomach as she goes splat on the ground. I would also imagine the Magical Girls having to spit out Ashvaneās insides as wellā¦
Sora in Super Smash Bros OMG YES

Super Smash Bros needs a Cartoon or Anime Series.
Nintendo and Disney are of course the hardest Companies to negotiate with so Sora and other KH Characters being in the Show is slimā¦
Of course if I were in charge of the Show I would have Young Link be exposed to the Dark Mirror from Four Swords Adventures and after that: Phazon.
The Dark Mirror would have Young Linkās Darkness extracted as a Black-haired Link with Dark Red Clothing(reminiscent of Dark Suit Samus and KHās Vanitas) and Red or Gold Irises. The Phazon would turn Young Link Light-Grey with Black Clothes and Hair while giving him Red Eyes(in otherwords heād get the Phazon Suit Samus coloration)
I would have Young Sheik be created from Young Zelda using the Dark Mirror herself.
Ganondorfās use of the Dark Mirror would naturally(just like in Four Swords Adventures) create a Shadow Link made of Malice that can change appearance to resemble Link in Green Tunic, Red Tunic, Blue Tunic and Violet Tunic.
Ganondorf would team up with Bowser, Emperor Ing, Dark Matter, Dark Meta Knight, Parallel Meta Knight, Parallel Dedede, King D-Mind, Darkrai(Mystery Dungeon Explorers version), Medusa, Dark Emperor Palamecia, Cloud of Darkness and the 3 sets of Villains from Trials of Mana(led by His Dark Majesty, Dragon Lord and the Masked Mage) to unleash the full force of Evil Darkness from Mavolia and Dark Aether!
The extracted Darkness of Link as well as Young Sheik and Midna would team up with Dark Pit, Shadow Kirby, Bayonetta, Dark Suit Samus and Secret of Manaās Lime Slime Shade(King of Mavolia before His Dark Majesty and Stroud) to create an organization of Good Darkness to help fight off the Evil Darkness.
As for which side Dark Samus would fight for: Dark Samus is Light Elemental despite her name(she is hurt more by the Dark Beam than by the Light Beam) and wields the Light of Phazon!
Dark Samus would work with Bowser Jr(he is shown as Light Elemental in Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition), Father Balder, Light Emperor Palamecia, Exdeath, Kefka, Trials of Manaās Lightgazer, Galacta Knight and Xenobladeās Zanza in a grand alliance of the Evil Light to conquer everything in sight.
Opposed to the Evil Light would be Link, Phazon Young Link, Zelda, Pit, Palutena, Secret of Manaās Lumina, Light Suit Samus and Pyra/Mythra on the side of Good Light.
Naturally Bowser and Bowser Jr will work to undermine the Forces of Evil Darkness and Evil Light to get a Victory that puts Bowser as the Main Villain taking over the world!
While this is all happening King K. Rool the self-proclaimed Supreme Ruler of All Evil will gather a group of Villains including Marx, Ridley, Mother Brain, Gruntilda, Sephiroth, Andross and Star Wolf and lead a fight against Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Mario, Luigi, Wario, Banjo, Kazooie, Kirby, Meta Knight and King Dedede.

I saw No Time To Die yesterday, and besides thinking that the ending couldāve been better I really enjoyed it. Iāve been watching all the James Bond movies with my cousin leading up to the release of this one since he never seen any of them. There were a lot of references to older movies in the newest release which we were able to catch. We saw the movie with my dad since it was his birthday, so it was a special day. What an amazing journey itās been.

The Biggest Spiders appear to be the Nephila and Giant Huntsman Spidersā¦ Their legs can get longer than the Goliath Birdeater!
Thankfully I havenāt seen Pictures of Giant Huntsman Spiders of larger size than Goliath Birdeaters but unfortunately I have seen Huge Nephila online.
https://www.reddit.com/r/australia/comments/f85mi8/giant_golden_orb_spider_south_east_queensland/
Of course people comparing the hand to the Nephilaās size claim itās bigger than Giant Huntsman Spidersā¦
With that stated itās no wonder they are the Spider most closely related to the Jurassicās Spiders which appear to be smaller according to the Fossilsā¦
The Worldās Biggest Spiders the Nephila can stab your eyes out and with a bite rip the skin off your arm while leaving the wound all swollen with Poison as bad as a Beeās!
