Wow. I have made my first foray into competitive Overwatch, so far only played Mercy, and I'm above to WAY above average on everything with her except resurrections. And that can at least in part be chalked up to being good at keeping my teammates alive in the first place. Yay.

Mania is being done by people who are *extremely* well known in the hacking community of Sonic and have a history of some extremely high quality fan-work. The fact that Sonic Mania looks good should not be much of a shock when its in their hands. The issue with Sega has always been Sega of Japan's insistence on trying to appeal to its own domestic audience that simply doesn't care about Sonic.

I just watched gameplay for it and I got really nostalgic. It looks like a very well done Sonic The Hedgehog fan game and I'm alright with that.

So, Sonic Mania looks like it's a better Sonic the Hedgehog 4 than the actual Sonic the Hedgehog 4. This might or might not be based on me thoroughly enjoying the 2016 version of the Green Hill Zone song.

Well, geez, just a few nights ago, I set my 14K healing record with Mercy. Last night I beat THAT record, and I'm top 5000 for most healing in a single match with her. Coo.

I did literally nothing the last three days except watch a whole lot of Ninja Warrior. Weekend well spent.

Saw the Duke Nukem 3D 20th Anniversary World Tour trailer; laughed hysterically.

I broke my most healing done in match record in Overwatch last night. In fact I broke it twice and my new record is 14,093.

Thanks for the birthday wish! Aside from work, it was pretty alright. ^_^

TO add on this, what with all the crap with [Mother] ([Mother] Is confirmed to be in orbit, for the record), it's fairly obvious where they're going with this... It takes two questions to get to Algol: "We're from Phantasy Star Online 2, what is Phantasy star online 1?" And "What's Phantasy Star?". This could easily get us to ALgol quickly due to the ongoing issue with the Profound Darkness REFUSING to die... Something tells me that if they did go, they'll be extremely disappointed with the answer of "We hit it until it died."

Dumb thought about pso2. The game has us drilling through dimensions, and quite frequently has stuff coming our way... Gal Gryphon exists in the game, and the PSO timeline is destroyed in PSP2i... Would it be unreasonable to theorize that the world ARKS lives in is a sort of "dimensional dumping ground" for broken timelines?

This is, without a doubt, the crowning nadir of twelve years of my Dungeons & Dragons hobby. (PS: Sailor Moon is Community, Good, Healing, Lawful, and Nobility, with clubs as a favored weapon.)

One of my friends was encouraged to make a region in our D&D setting. She needs gods. I came up with deity domains for the Inner Sailor Scouts as a joke. My best friend helped refine them and added the Outer Scouts.

Unrelated note, after it taking over a month in Overwatch to get a single quad rez with Mercy, I got two in one night last night. So many good moments.

It's quite lovely. Also, we got a lot of rain that night and we needed it, we are in a drought here in Massachusetts. To my knowledge, no tornado ever actually touched down.

Radar indicated. No idea if anything touched down in the area, but I will probably find out.

Really loving RE4 right now. I shouldn't need to use SPEEDRUN STRATS to get past that flipping minecart QTE

Well, Blizzard's main Overwatch patch this week was garbage, but then they patched the test servers for upcoming changes and I'm loving what I'm reading in the match notes (AKA it includes Mercy buff YAY).

I should play Race into Space again; maybe I can top my all-time crowning moment of "glory."

Is it bad that I was seriously considering learning to modify Genesis roms just to fix Nei's dumb purple ears in the battle sprites? It's really hampering my enjoyment for some reason (See: Bothers the absolute hell out of me)

Helped a friend move today. I am so tired. On the other hand I finally beat a section in The Last of Us Grounded mode that was giving me a LOT of trouble.

Added the others. I also have the artbook for PSU, but it's passworded... For some reason. I'll need to ask my guy for the code.

(Looking at you, colossus 3, with that vital point on your left arm. And you too, colossus 15, who I fought today but had to quite midway through, and that new vital on your chest is hard as nails).
- Wolf Bird

I've beaten that game tons of times, I know the way (more or less) to each colossus and how to beat them. I probably could've taken even less time had I not gone for some extra goodies, taken a wrong turn or two, and took a while on a couple of buggers. Playing in hard mode, and some of the new vital points some of them get are pretty tough.

I got hit with a random urge to play Shadow of the Colossus, and in less than 3 hours I defeated 10 of 16 colossi. That game is still awesome 11 years on.

Now that I think of it, I do think the member feedback forum requires a minimum number of posts before it opens. I think it's around 5 or so. Apologies for forgetting that.

I got all the scans zipped up, and I've got a couple other artbooks on here, but... I mean, my internet is garbage. I'll need someone to rehost these when I post them. (Also, where's the feedback forum?)

Most definitely put them up; maybe someone who's (much) more able to translate Japanese can give them a go!

If you have scans available, they could make a neat addition to the site. I'd post in the feedback forum about it, Chaoko, then maybe we can take it from there.

Juuust a tip for the publications section. The PSI-III Futabasha Game Books are a thing. They're Choose Your Own Adventure books, scans of which are archived on some 'sites' by yours truly. So, if anyone feels like putting those up (With minimal info, of course, as there is little to no documentation of these books even EXISTING... Just a bit of 'hey these exist' as a page would be neat, unless we have a quality guidelines thing I'm not aware of.
