I am envious of Amydog.

And here I've just got Ayane dating Y'Shtola and adopting orphans. I need to step up my game. :|a

There's a reason the only consoles I've had any interest in for the past 3 generations are Nintendo consoles now. Nintendo actually has a unique library of stuff and exclusives.

Like, you don't substitute a word in that starts with the same letter. Like I would not look at "automobile" and think "affix" was close enough, I'd take into consideration that cars were being talked about and figure "Oh, that's what that means"

So it's sort of a deal of the longer the fight goes on, the less in control Fugo is as the virus builds up and Haze goes more berserk sort of thing?

I realize I'm not a great example given my own difficulty reading, but I like to think that's more the dyslexia than an inability to comprehend words, however, I *have* found context at least to be a good way of figuring out what something might mean in the moment... but not like that...

I am actually really glad you chimed in with this, Xander. Being anime-only, it wasn't really clear if Fugo was in control or not.

Alternatively, characters whose deeds kinda necessitates a sacrifice of some sort, regardless of character arc/growth. (E.g. Vergil in DMC3 specifically)

"Not even in my wildest dreams did I imagine that one day I would paint a picture of hot Bowser for official material, announced by Miyamoto himself. 😭 I laughed so hard in disbelief while painting, you have no idea lol"

I think a lot of that comes from the binding circle. Being able to reliably slow/root enemies to get some space to set up for the slower charge attacks makes the defensive play viable. And by the same token has allowed the game to crank up enemy aggression to keep things tense.

I've been real happy with all the ranged options. Not sure about a couple of this one's aspects just yet, but I also haven't noodled around too much with it.
