    Is carnelian someone to go hard for? I did my usual "draw until you get a 5*" and got Silence, which, eh, its ok since she's usual second healer if maps need 2 medics, but not exactly thrilling

    Managed to pull everyone in like 40 pulls so I'm happy (literally just as I ran out of currency too... didn't have to buy anymore :3)

    Got new 6* up to e2 but I ran out of money yet again before I could promote the 5* as well (she's up to like e1 66). I really really wish leveling wasn't so god damn expensive... Maybe this event will give me a wad of cash.. they usually do...

    Also yes, the collect all button is friggin' amazing and why did it take this long?

    Seven Sirens is the only Shantae I don't own yet. It hasn't gone on sale on PSN since I've been following the series.

    I wishlisted it on PSN. I watch for it to go on sale regularly.

    Looks like I have to surrender on this one. Went through about 60-70 pulls and proc'd two 6* stars. Somehow they were both Rosa. I swear I was on the right banner.
    On the plus side, at least Rosa was new (at least the first time I pulled her she was). So that has the nice -1 DP on her once sniper chips open up tomorrow.
    Hopefully I can recover enough to still luck into Female Tourist C still.

    Is anyone else getting an "app out of date" error, but no update is available?

    Yeah, the game goes down right at reset, so sometimes the app store doesn't update when they first take it down. Usually it's up before maintenance is over though.
    I can see it now on the android play store.

    1. You need to restart your phone to update the store, apparently.

    2.I fucked up and deleted and redownloaded the game, so I don't know if I'm going to continue. No, I didn't have my account connected to anything, yes, it is my bad.

    Have you ever spent money on the game? If so, ping their support and cross your fingers, maybe some kind of restore is possible (dunno if possible or not).

    Unfortunately, no.

    I enjoy the game, so I will probably restart at some point.

    Yeah!
    Do note that late game saves may not be able to see all the Wounds of Eventide content,

    No!
    Wounds of Eventide unveils the final chapter in The Penitent One’s first story and offers new levels, bosses and items, and unearths secrets that will unlock another fate for Cvstodia – leading into the events of the Blasphemous sequel

    Yeah!
    (launching in 2023)

    No!

    Rollercoaster of an update. Oh well, starting a new playthrough wouldn't be the worst thing, it's a fun game and it'll get me back in form for what I presume will be an extra, more difficult final boss.

    Crowsworn and Blasphemous II both coming out in 2023 will be pretty great, with hopefully Silksong bridging the gap sometime in 2022. Hopefully have at least one sick new Metroidvania to tide things over until the others release.

    I bought Blasphemous at the same time I grabbed a few other metroidvanias. It's on my list to play. Looking forward to it. Love the graphics and macabre art aesthetic.

    On the subject of metroidvanias with good art, Record of Lodoss war is coming to consoles next week. The 16th is the console release date. (It is already out on Steam). It has absolutely stunning pixel art. Some of the best I've ever seen.

    There was no mention of Silksong at TGA (and in the Hollow Knight community there was a wailing and gnashing of teeth) but this trailer popped up and seems like a neat little metroidish thing.

    Hey guys, just wanted to drop a warning to the rest of you so you don't get bitten the way I did with the new content in Blasphemous. The short of it is that if you're coming back to the game on an old save file, you're already locked out of the true final boss / new ending, and even on an entirely new save, it's easy to miss.
    They've newly added Perpetua(the angel sister that Esdras, the lunatic with the hammer who fights you on the bridge)'s tomb to the game, in a zone called Echoes of Salt. You must speak to her and get a key item before fighting Esdras on the bridge, which keeps him from dying. If you don't, all the other components of that quest line (including another pair of DLC bosses) will still exist, but nothing you do after that will matter. You can also screw the quest up by fighting Cristana (the mirror match just before the final boss) before doing the rest of the quest line.

    Basically, I strongly recommend looking up a guide for the true ending so you don't wind up screwing yourself out of it by proceeding too quickly.

    Why do game devs do this? Ugh.

    Really enjoyed the Blasphemous stuff (though yes, accessing some of it can be easy to miss).
    Overall added some really great new bosses, fun new collectibles (there's a Berserk tribute that I thought was a classy move), and some wild lore. With all the DLC content added this is a very solid and fun game, and an excellent example of the genre. Looking forwards to sequel now.

    I know Circle was just their second attempt at the sub-genre, it was trying a few new things that sounded nice on paper, and they were definitely working with technical limitations at the time...

    I think a huge thing that was missing from CotM's development was Koji Igarashi. The game was developed by the same dev team that made the N64 games. At the time, it was nice just to have another Metroidvania since they were very uncommon back then, but these days its flaws are pretty apparent.

    Yeah you can really tell the difference. Iga's games were really dense with stuff you can find, both to help the player as well as lots of weird, fun little quirks that gave the game character. Circle feels kind of sterile by comparison.

    Really, the card system is CotM's unique feature and can be pretty important to just progressing through the game...and there's a high chance that most players won't even see most of them.

    More like fired... I think over some bad stuff he did? I honestly don't remember what it was, but I think something sexual harassment related.

    I'm at least glad this arc of the series was able to conclude before that so it will feel cohesive. I'm not *super* worried about the next thing they do - at least they have something of a template to work off from. And especially if they can get back a lot of the other people who worked on the original show, it's not like Ellis did everything there.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_Ellis#Sexual_coercion_allegations
    In June 2020, several women (including musician Meredith Yayanos, artist Zoetica Ebb and photographer Jhayne Holmes) publicly accused Ellis of sexual coercion and manipulation, in having engaged in simultaneous relationships with several of them without the others' knowledge.[126][127][128][129][130] The Daily Beast reported that "by 19 June, over 60 women had joined a group organized by Holmes, all of them accusing Ellis of a largely consistent pattern of behavior".[130] The Guardian later reported that "roughly 100 women have come forward, while 33 of them have composed written statements, supported by emails and text messages, which have been seen by the Guardian".[131] These testimonials were posted together on a new website, SoManyofUs.com, in July 2020 and contain accounts of "manipulation, gaslighting, coercion, and other forms of emotional abuse".[131][132]

    That said, I believe the allegations started popping up before Season 4 released but by then they had finalized the script for the finale already.

    Yeah this is what I was seeing in the wiki article. Honestly I think I can buy that - when you're in that kind of position it's probably hard to recognize what you're doing (not that this is any excuse mind you, but at least it feels like he understand he was in the wrong here and is actually apologetic about it). But I don't know - I haven't been following it closely at all so who knows how sincere he is about all that.

    Honestly given the sheer volume of victims (which I was definitely unaware was so large) the probability of it having veered into potential illegality must be a non-zero number

    In any case, it's probably mostly by luck that the production was mostly unaffected, and it's a shame a writer as talented as Ellis had to go throw his career away like that but it's not like they can't find other writers capable of the same empathy of character and writing style
