You guys watch the 1st episode of this Sacred Beasts thing? I might be kinda hooked.

Just started watching the anime version of Gundam The Origin. I didn't even notice that this was airing this season. Definitely gonna enjoy this. I don't think I finished the last 1 or 2 movies.

I wonder if the final season will be 1 or 2 cour...

SnK was indeed very good this season. I saw some articles the other day that the 4th and final season will begin Fall 2020. I think the end of the 3rd season covers up to the end of chapter 90 of the manga. The latest chapter is 118, and it's a monthly, so there can't be too many chapters left before it ends if they're already planning the final season of the anime. My dark horse pick for Anime of the Season is MIX: Meisei Story. But in the end Attack on Titan is probably the true AOTS.

First day of free agency was pretty nuts! Lots of players on the move. Recap @ Hoops Rumors: https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2019/07/nba-2019-free-agency-day-1-recap.html?fv-home=true&post-id=132100

No worries there, still more story left.

Somewhat of an under appreciated job, I feel like. !Control is pretty darn useful - especially since you have Blue Mage. Makes learning some very useful spells much easier. End of the game is so much easier when you have White Wind and Mighty Guard. Not to mention all the useful Catch/Release monsters there are.

"Some cool moments" about sums it up. It was like an album that really only has, like, 2 good songs but you like it anyway because one of your favourite bands put it out

PES ain't a bad game either. I assume these guys just aren't big fans of sprots and racing games

Great spot to end it. I prefer to be left wanting more rather than for something to get tired, so I actually kinda hope they just leave it at this.

I was just reading some stuff about the Switch version. Sounds very bad indeed

I guess you can make your whole team Hide before every blast of the cannon?

Family: You're not watching the Jays tonight? Me: They're playing the Yankees, probably a waste of time ... ah, what the hell, let's check the score. They're only down 3-2 in the 6th inning, maybe it could be an interesting game! Yankees: Score 7 runs in the inning right after I decided to start watching. Now it's 10-2.

Just checked the PV for Fire Force (Enen? ?no ?Shoubouta??i?) and I gotta say it really caught my eye. Gonna have to watch the first episode to see more.

You don't have Bard until you get the black chocobo right? Keep breaking those rods 4 Bards vs. SolCannon, etc. isn't very fun though.

But you can use all the items! Sucks that all the ABP you're accumulating is going nowhere but it won't be difficult.

Now that the Raptors big run is over, I've come crawling back to my Blue Jays. They're really bad. Nobody was expecting them to contend this year. They're basically seeing what they have in their young players. But wow they're bad. Almost Orioles level bad. Stole a win in Boston yesterday though.

Yeah a full party wipe from L.5 Death ain't fun

Yeah it's a challenge play where you are limited to just four jobs. But you don't pick for yourself - Gilgabot picks for you. A "standard" run is one job per crystal, and you typically wait until you reach each crystal before revealing your job for that crystal. It's more fun with a bit of surprise. And there are other variants that change up the job pools (completely random, popular jobs, only magic casting jobs, only melee jobs, etc). I picked the Classic Jobs restriction (some combo of Knight, Monk, Thief, Black/White/Red Mage) for my latest run. I really like playing FF5 with the goofier jobs. I have a real soft spot for Geomancer and Dancer - gotta love that randomness. But then it's also fun when you roll one of the game-breaking jobs that just makes everything easy. There truly isn't a four job combo that won't work.

Reg'd for a second run, decided to restrict myself to Classic Jobs only. So here's what I will have to work with: Bartz White Mage; Lenna White Mage; Faris Thief; Galuf/Krile Black Mage. Can't see many roadblocks to an easy win here. I think I'll challenge myself to finish at as low a level as possible to spice it up a bit.

First victory in the books Steam rolled the game from the start of Galuf's World and on. Summoner and Samurai make the game very easy. I hit NeoExdeath with my party all level 33. Nobody had enough HP to take an Almagest, but my Samurai's Aegis Shield had a chance to block Almagest. Took a bunch of tries to get the luck factors to line up, but once I was able to dodge that Almagest then Exdeath was toast. I can get an easy win over Shinryu with this party but Omega will be way more work than it is worth.

re: the soundtrack: maybe keep an eye on Danny B's bandcamp page? https://dbsoundworks.bandcamp.com/ --- 1. Final Fantasy V (replay) Four Job Fiesta, you know the story by now Still the best Final Fantasy game. I still play games but this is the first thing I've finished this year.

Bummer you missed out on some Blue spells in the castle, but you still have some really good ones coming up. Definitely no shortage of firepower on your team!

Once you can load up on rods in Karnak you've got it easy because your Time Mages can break them. Unless you want to avoid that. Some people think it's a cheap tactic.
