If I'm on this site, I'm using my laptop. In my experience, mobile devices have loaded the site much more slowly than my laptop, and the small screen size makes it hard for me to use the moderator features.

I haven't read the KH2 manga yet, but if I take what you said and apply it to 358/2 days, then I wholeheartedly agree. As for KH1 and KH CoM, I wasn't as impressed with the manga. They felt like they moved a bit too fast, whereas Days seemed to be the correct pace.

I hated Fruit Ball and Ice Cream Beat, but the Ice Cream game was definitely my least favorite. The racing was okay, and I'm not sure I even remember what Pete's Rec Room was.

Hmm, to be clear, it sounds like you got one of those bundle deals from GameStop that was one physical version of the game (in your case Birthright) and then the download code for the other (so, Conquest in your case)? If what I wrote above is correct, then I'm fairly certain that you cannot download Conquest until you get Birthright. I assume that the download code was for the $20 version of Conquest, which is in actuality treated as DLC for Birthright, and not as a different game. You would actually need to access the DLC shop from Birthright in order to use the code that was sent to you.

Honestly, I know what Nisekoi is (never read/watched it, however), and while I think this is really random... I'm okay with it. Honestly, I just find it funny more than anything. There's already a ton of other costumes in Mario Maker, don't see why a random anime cross over matters that much. Just enjoy if you want, ignore if you don't. When I eventually get back to Mario Maker I might do a level with her, just for the laughs. Also, reminder that Nintendo has crossed over with anime before. Remember that Splatoon got the Squid Girl costume (though that one made a ton of sense, admittedly).

Man, you're lucky indeed! Hope you enjoy the game. Right now I only have one more class, but then I have to go to work for a while. X_X Won't get to play til after 6.

Tomorrow the agonizing wait ends, and I will finally have Fire Emblem Fates in my possession. Classes are going to go so slowly tomorrow. X_X

Yes, I have the Special Edition preordered! I managed to grab it the very last time it was up for pre-order at GameStop. I was afraid it would be cancelled, since apparently all in-store orders made after 11/18 were cancelled, but it seems that online orders did not have the same issue (seeing as I ordered mine on 11/19 and I'm getting it). I paid extra for the one day shipping, and the tracking information says it should get here tomorrow. If it had been cancelled, I would've gotten both Birthright and Conquest as physical copies, so that my brother and I could play at the same time. It's been an agonizing week, between my uncertainty as to if I would even receive my preorder and my excitement level for the game. I haven't been this excited for a game in a long time.

On a standard computer keyboard, I do touch typing all the way. It's so ingrained into my mind I get messed up when I have to type something with anything other than a standard QWERTY keyboard (so like, digital keyboards in some games or certain apps). However, I'm really bad at using the number row, so if I need to type numerals I'll look at the keys. Side note: My 3000th post! Only took me 6 years and a few days.

I vote yes to both, but when it gets right down to it I'd be more than happy to just get Days remade. It's my favorite Kingdom Hearts in regards to story and character, and I would love to get an update version. I was so disappointed when it was just cutscenes in 1.5 remix.

I generally prefer dubbed, but I'm not opposed to watching subbed if its the only option, or if it's too much of a hassle to find good quality streaming of the dubbed version. I generally don't have a problem with the English voice acting, I can't say that I've ever watched something with a terrible dub (besides Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh maybe? I dunno what the general consensus on those are). They may not always be completely spot on, but good enough for me that I don't feel like I'm missing out. Plus, I personally find it easier to get into a show if I can understand the words being spoken without reading them. Also, I know people are going to agree with me here, but... I honestly find a lot of Japanese voice acting to be obnoxious, mostly in how they voice female characters to either be way too cutesy (even when it's not a super cutesy show) or horrendously grating. Plus, even though many complain on how it feels like the same English voice actors are in everything, it's not that much different from how Japan has a bunch of different actors whom all fall into a handful of categories that sound the same. At least, that's how I see it. I'm sure many disagree.

I loved snow for the entirety of my life, until I got to college. Unlike high school and lower, college classes hardly ever get cancelled for snow. Since I now have to drive myself to school, I hate it.

Well its been awhile, since other people are posting grades I suppose I will too! For my first semester I got A's in four of my classes, and I passed the Pass/No Credit course I took! The courses I took were Intro to Computer Science, Spanish 201, Myth of the Self-Made American (freshman writing class), Computer Ethics, and Financial Survival (this was the 1 credit Pass/No Credit class). So yeah, super happy about that! ^_^ Unfortunately, I'm not sure I'll be able to maintain it this semester... The three main classes I'm taking are Intro to Java, Existentialism, and Political Parties and Interest Groups. I also have Basics of Creative Writing, but not until April (its a 3 week course). Existentialism is a 300 level course, but it had no per-requisites and my advisory said I should be able to handle it based on my past writings and grades, so I took it because it sounded interesting. I'm not the only first year in there, nor the only one who hasn't taken any other philosophy course, but I'm having a hard time contributing to class discussions simply because I can't think quick enough to say something before the conversation moves on. As for the Political Science class... I'm never taking another PoliSci class again, I've already been able to decide. Not only is there a TON of reading (at least, compared to what I'm used to based on my first semester and AP English from high school), but it is the most mind-numbingly boring stuff I've ever tried to suffer through. I'm not worried about the papers for the class, but I already dread the exams. X_X If anyone has any tips on how to effectively tackle large reading assignments, they would be greatly appreciated! Java and Creative Writing I'm not worried about at all. Java has been really easy for me to pick up so far, and I work with a bunch of guys who know Java (plus, one of them is the TA for the class). And I'm already pretty good at creative writing, so...

Fire Emblem Fates (Special Edition) - $80 Bravely Second (hopefully special edition) - $40-70 Persona 5 (assuming it comes out this year) - $60 So $180-210, ideally. I'm also thinking of trying out the Odin Sphere remake, which would probably add anywhere from $40-60. If we get SMTxFE this year, add another $60. So, in total, up to a potential $330 in planned purchases. I'm willing to bet there will be some new announcements that pull me in, and possible some purchases for older games as well. Luckily, I'll have a real job this summer on top of the grass mowing that I started last year, so I'll be good on funds.

I mean, how short are we talking here? I generally don't have much a preference (though I do think certain lengths of hair look better on certain people, same with hair styles), but I dislike super short hair. For example, this hair length I don't think looks very good (even though Emma Watson is definitely a good looking person): That said, I generally don't look super short hair on guys or girls. Honestly, the two pictures below are about my limits for shortness for girls and guys, as far as me thinking it looks good goes: So basically anything longer than super short is fine by me, depending on the person. Medium length hair is the ideal, in my eyes. Obviously there are always exceptions where a short hairstyle will suit someone really well, but in general these are my preferences. There also comes a point were hair gets too long, but I've never met a girl with hair that I would call too long, and the only guy I've ever met with hair that was too long had more to do with the fact that his hair always looked too greasy.

Persona 5, no doubt. I just hope it releases really close to a school break so that I can get lost in it without worry. Other games I'm excited for are FE:Fates and Bravely Second. And just a localization announcement for Steins;Gate 0 would make me incredibly happy.

I hope I'll have enough time to finish FE:Fates (all the paths) before this comes out. X_X It should technically be enough time, but college work can really sap away my free time. Anyway, definitely going to try to get the special edition. I really like the art for this series, so the art book would be pretty cool. Hopefully it doesn't sell out as quickly as FE:Fates did. X__X

I'm normally pretty quiet. I like to listen to people talk more than anything. That's not to say I can't get going and talk a lot (and I always write a lot), but it's not really natural for me to talk a ton. I guess that's different around my family, but around my friends and strangers I'm not too talkative. I'm also really bad at 1 on 1 conversations, I need to have at least 2 people other than me to converse really well.

Smash Bros Mario Kart 8 I also like Splatoon, but it's really finicky with my internet. Some days it is impossible for me to have an online match that doesn't disconnect. Additionally, I have Super Mario Maker and Yoshi's Woolly World. Haven't gotten far enough into YWW to say its a favorite yet, and SMM is good, but I'm hindered by my lack of creativity.

I don't think so! But I'm also the kind of student who writes longer papers than everyone else all the time, so I'm biased. It just depends on if you wrote a quality paper or not. Unless your teacher takes off for too many pages, that would stink...

Of that list, TWEWY. I am a bit interested in trying out Star Ocean, though. But it will be a while before I get to that, if ever. EDIT: Oh man, wait. I forgot about Bravely Default for a second. I liked that one quite a bit, and I'm definitely getting the sequel once its released.

Pokemon FireRed, as far as I can remember. Even if not the absolute first RPG I played, certainly the first one I ever beat or put a meaningful amount of time into.

No, I think I worded that badly. I mean that you can have two food bonuses at once, one from the Inn and one from the food that you carry in your inventory. So like you can go to the Inn and eat a Mabo Curry Bun (each character revived once after KO), then eat one of the items you get from snack preparation, like the one that gives +8% attack boost, and then you will have both the KO revive and the attack boost for the fight.

Okay, so to start with, I'm just going to put this out there, this fight is terrible. I actually really enjoyed Zestiria (though the internet seems to hate it for the most part), but I hated this fight. So when you get to this stage of the fight, you have to deal a specific amount of damage to him to stagger the boss. Basically the only way you're going to get this to work is by attacking him while armatized, and have the "Charge Forward" tactic set on your partners. Since you will lose access to a seraph each time you do the L1 prompt, it's going to get harder. Don't prioritize this based on who you think the best party members are, do it by how powerful their armatizations are. I recommend using wind the first time, as it is the worst at dealing the damage needed for this fight. Save the armatization that you are most confident in until last (the order I used was Wind - Earth - Water - Fire). Try to keep your party alive. You'll be taking hits to your grade for using items (and for getting KOed many times) but for the sake of this fight, I'd say its worth it. This is necessary for two reasons, 1) You need the seraphs to armatize and actually complete the fight, and 2) you need all the damage you can get in while the death laser is charging. Before the fight, eat food that you think will help. I recommend one that boosts your attack. Remember that Inn food and the food you carry can both take effect at the same time. I think I had eaten the Mabo Curry Bun prior to the fight, but there might be something better. Worst comes to worst, turn down the difficulty. I played through the entire game in Moderate, and was level 66 with Sorey (everyone else slightly lower, with Laila being the worst at 58) by the time I got to this fight. I turned it down to Normal, still couldn't do it, and eventually settled with using Simple to just get it over with. You could level grind or try to get equips with better skills, but that could take more grinding than you're willing to do. EDIT: I've also read online that using Rose to spam certain artes can help in this fight. I believe it was the one where she jumps and throws the daggers. I didn't have any luck with it, but might be worth a shot.

Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon was really fun! Glad I gave the series another chance after Gates made me lose interest.
