As I realise I'm drawing a line through Ronhan.
And then realise Ronhan doesn't care.
Also appears that the AoE on Bolt doesn't electrify and won't deal bonus damage.
And also that Aetherwall doesn't defend against Levinblade because it is a melee attack with range..
Night Flight Orchestra announced a North American tour coming up. I'll try to catch them in September I think.
I haven't been able to bring myself to listen to the new Metallica album. There is just so much quality music out there, and 77 minutes is really long...
They look so clean!
And the wait for Sora continues (probably indefinitely)
Nah I don't think so. Sora isn't really a "Disney" character. As long as they aren't making amiibos of Mickey or Donald or whatever I think they'll be fine getting permission.
It's been nearly two years - every other character's Amiibo was announced long before now. Plus Sakurai went out of his way to say it's very possible we might not be getting every single Amiibo. I think I'd put money down on Sora not happening.
Quetzi on
Why the crap did I ever make my original name "cloudeagle?"

Are there dates for that NFO tour? I'm not seeing anything anywhere, but I am definitely quite interested.
I double checked and all I see is my local metal promoter's facebook event page. But the tickets are available for purchase on ticketfly. The opener are The Jorgensens. I wonder if the promoter jumped the gun and posted the event before the rest of the tour was announced.
Agalloch are back, looks like they're reuniting to play a show in Germany this summer. Guess I can't brag about seeing them back in 2012 anymore.
Yeah I saw that. Was there ever a follow up to the 2019 story about the rest of the band distancing themselves from the singer due to antisemetic comments/posts? Like: "We—Jason, Aesop, and myself—are deeply disappointed to learn that our former bandmate John Haughm has made an anti-Semitic comment on his Facebook page. We vehemently condemn our former bandmate and want to make it clear that none of us share his reprehensible viewpoints. We have not had any direct contact with him since the breakup nearly 3 years ago (aside from Don who handles the business side of things with him). We are not friends. More importantly, he is NOT Agalloch. Please feel free to share." is a pretty damning statement only to reunite a few years later. But I don't remember ever hearing much after that.

*shrug* I mean, Sora was announced way after all the others. There hasn't really been an opportunity to announce an amiibo since he was the last character (whereas most of the last few got announced during his reveal). There probably is some extra negotiations involved here (I mean, it's not just Disney but also Square-Enix so there's multiple 3rd parties) so it might take longer than most. And without a relevant event they might just kinda wait until either a Kingdom Hearts thing or just "it's gonna be out soon" to announce. But I have a gut feeling it's still gonna happen. Could possibly not, but this is the company that got permission to put Goldeneye 64 on their Switch virtual console thingy :P
Also Sakurai's statement was, IMO, more a disclaimer. "Hey, there's a chance we can't make this happen" rather than "we definitely can't make this happen."
Then again, they went out of their way to announce the Pyra/Mythra amiibo over a year ago, without any real opportunity or event. The existence of Sora is still waaaaaaay overdue. The timing is still very, very, very odd compared to every other Ultimate Amiibo.
Granted Sakurai is cautious, but I get the feeling he wouldn't have mentioned it at all if it wasn't for the Sora Amiibo. His statement could also be interpreted as a polite way of saying "yeah, we're not getting Sora."

As Ronhan looks up from getting slammed into the pillar, a metallic object whizzes past and affixes itself to the Hailtoad.
'Hey Ronhan,', Cid's voice says from somewhere above his head, 'Duck'
Geth roll 1d20+1d6 for a bolt of lightning passing by Ronhan through the Hailtoad and to the Wolf
Cid teleports 3 on top of Ronhan's pillar. (F3)
Then uses bolt and electromagnetism.
Hailtoad takes 4 fray.
Ronhan doesn't.
Wolf likely takes 4+2 piercing and is electrified and vulnerable.
Hailtoad is marked, electrified and has aura 2 of difficult terrain to electrified characters.
1+1 Aether for hitting two enemies with an AoE
Cid can then teleport 1 behind the pillar, but I'm not sure that's smart..
a bolt of lightning passing by Ronhan through the Hailtoad and to the Wolf:
I think Cid steps down to E2.
There's not much point giving the Gulper a straight cross attack.
Better to have him attack the ground or not splash or something.
Weighted pullups being something I've trained into a lot, the PBs don't come often on them, so this feels good. Hopefully after another training block it'll get to my 38kgs target for 3, which is 50% bodyweight.
Well I seem to have opened a can of worms in what should be a pretty cool way.
Two other kids are wanting to get in on TOR.
When I was playing mostly solo though vanilla I never thought I'd be back at they game a decade later squading with my kids. This will be wonderful chaos.

The Howler, with sparks still cackling off its body from Cidryn's attack, rushes towards Zin! It moves incredibly fast, then jumps into the air. The massive body slams down next to Zin and a shockwave of force spreads from it.
Zin, you must choose! Take 4 damage or be shoved one space?
Ability details:
It has a movement of 3, so it moved 3, Dashed another 2, then used this ability:
Iron Grip (1 action): The Howler dashes 3 spaces in any direction. An adjacent foe when it starts moving must save or be dragged them with it, shoving its target towards it until its adjacent. Bloodied foes fail the save.
Now, upon reaching Zin, it uses this free ability (since it's already used its two actions):
Body Slam (free action): The Howler flies into the air and comes slamming back down. Adjacent characters must choose: be shoved 1, or take fray damage.
I can't imagine going into a stone-off with Tom Stoltman, knowing that he's literally the best stone lifter in the world right now and will casually huck every stone over the bar in the most demoralizing way possible, but good on Bobby Thompson for even getting to that point. It's a really good final group at WSM, I'm looking forward to it!
This round I'll plan on going last just to make regenerate possibly useful to someone (not a fan of that ability so far....)
Obviously will flip the script is damage is more needed, but at least the Gulper is marked so I can hit them every turn now as long as I use a damage ability on one of the three
Thanks for updating the map disc. I don't have many programs I can install on this...
One thing that Rohan would have noticed earlier:
Right up against the awful smell of the Halitoad's body, Rohan finds it almost difficult to concentrate...
Stench: This beast has aura 1. Characters in the aura have +1 curse on attacks and saves, and are poisoned if they end their turn there. Poisoned foes treat the area as dangerous terrain.
The Halitoad looks at Cidryn, who just damaged them all, and opens its mouth... Its tongue comes shooting out at Cidryn! The tongue is about as wide as you all are.
Geth roll 1d20 for tongue attack!
Edit: Oops it's not an attack anyways, ignore that roll
The Halitoad's tongue strikes against Cidryn with a painful impact, but sticks to him and begins to pull him back to the huge toad!
Cid, please make a save. Fail, and you are pulled in! You also take 4 damage right now, regardless of the save. Details:
Tongue Lash (1 action): A foe in range 4 takes fray damage, then must save or become poisoned and shoved as far as possible towards the Halitoad. Poisoned characters fail the save. Effect: Range 8 while bloodied.
Well I seem to have opened a can of worms in what should be a pretty cool way.

Cool, now you got a full Republic group for FPs.
Which means I have to bench my Counselor who just finished prologue and re-run smuggler so the kids that want lightsabers can have them.
Admittedly it's been long enough I don't really even remember the smuggler story. I was more invested in my knight's story.
Rogue apparently made a giant fuck-off 342lb/155kg dumbbell for the World's Strongest Man final and it's just comedically oversized, if anyone actually presses that thing I'll be astonished.

It's fine. Just remember that Corso's a bit of an old-fashioned country boy and you'll be fine.
...though maybe you'll probably wanna play as a guy.
Yeah, the Howler is poisoned from the Halitoad's aura. Unfortunately the map is pretty cramped for these large creatures!
Cidryn is able to resist being pulled in, and the tongue returns to the Halitoad's mouth! Even more angry now, it slams its head into Rohan!
Geth roll 1d20 for attack with no boons/curses I think
Geth roll 1d6+4 for damage if it hits
Smash (1 action, true strike, melee attack): On hit: [D]+fray. Miss: fray. Effect: Shove 1. If either foe or this character is bloodied, increase shove to 3.
It misses! Just the 4 Fray damage then! A player is up!
True strike countering Dodge.
Probably a damage and dazed again from the shove though.
Turn is probably on Ronhan, as they probably want to get in a better position to be shoved away from the toad on Cid's turn.
The toad having vigilance and wanting to stop people in it's stench
Anybody have any recs for like, a modified strong man program? I still wanna get rugby thick and right now I'm getting more thick like a twinkie is thick.
I'm kind of a little bored with my standard hypertrophy programs and I also have been having a hard time actually doing them, usually due to some kind of injury. So maybe I try changing up how I work out for a little bit.
The only thing I can't really do is circuit training. If i had access to a private gym it wouldn't be an issue.
Edit: I found this one from Men's Health that seems decent but kind of light.

Good things come to those who wait:
I'm not holding my breath.
If it does come, though, I'll look into getting the Pyra/Mythra and then Noah/Mio when they release.

Cool, now you got a full Republic group for FPs.
Let's Play Final Fantasy 'II' (Ch10 - 5/17/10)
Rohan is at F4
Zin is at B3
The Howler's defense is actually only 5, so your 6 hits! Roll damage.

Geth roll 1d8+6 for piercing damage
Looks like the four fray to the Toad is piercing too actually; Bolt has the Pierce keyword so I assume all damage dealt by it is piercing.
Zin, you must choose! Take 4 damage or be shoved one space?
Ability details:
Iron Grip (1 action): The Howler dashes 3 spaces in any direction. An adjacent foe when it starts moving must save or be dragged them with it, shoving its target towards it until its adjacent. Bloodied foes fail the save.

All of the terrain around the Toad is difficult to it.
Difficult terrain:
Not sure if the pit in the middle poses any restriction to the beast either
The Howler makes it into B6-C6-B7-C7! That's its turn, and then we move to the top of Round 2!
Monsters start the round, and I'll make the first move hopefully later tonight.

But you know I'll never own them since we don't actually get significant runs of anything that isn't a first party game/character anymore.

Well.. Cid could go instead, but he would be pushing Ronhan into the column so that he can push Zin into cover.
I wouldn't bet against that, of everyone in the field he's the most likely to randomly dominate an event.
