Eh, of course I cannot answer that question, you will have to figure it out for yourself

Random Cold Steel thought #16: you know, Jusis makes a damn good point. Selflessness IS unnatural: every living being has a built-in survival instinct, so putting someone's well-being over your own is something extraordinary. Therefore, if you CONSTANTLY try to be selfless at all costs, you'll come off as arrogant, as someone who is just playing the hero to be praised.

Actually, altruistic behavior is present in virtually all social animals. It's self-propagating once it reaches a certain amount of spread in the population since typically altuism happens at a low relative cost to the giver and a high relative gain for the reciever. Being on both sides of these exchanges improves fitness.
-
Selflessness in the short term often leads to a stronger whole in the long term, while this idea also works, often time the supposedly selfless action is somewhat designed and enacted for the benefit of the one carrying out the action and their whole in particular through gratitude and a desire to return on a debt.

Most decisions will not be big dilemmas like the diary situation in Reborn. However, the hard part will come to figuring out what ending each decision works towards: there are not "good" or "bad" endings, there are simply different endings for different people. Which decision gets you hooked up with whom? That will be very tricky to guess at times, although there WILL be a check (I.E., a particular speech in a particular scene that changes depending on the "path" you ended on) at some point. But outside of that check, there will be no way of telling what are the "good" and what are the "bad" answers to get this or that ending, trial and error is the sole option. And considering that the big payoff will come after becoming champion and rolling the credits, this will encourage you to play the whole game multiple times, even after the final episode is out and the project is officially wrapped up. I have always disliked how most Pokemon games have very little replay value, so yeah, think of this as a possible solution for that issue

I was thinking: remember when I revamped the OP? Well, in that occasion I added, to the list of features, something we hadn't announced before, as a little extra. However, nobody seems to have noticed it ;-;
-
I finally got around to playing Skullgirls and... Well, while I don't particularly care for over the top plots and gore used for black comedy, I must say that, from a strictly mechanical point of view, it's got to be the best 2D fighting game I have ever played.

Random Cold Steel thought #15: Rean's interactions with Emma nver cease to baffle me. She isn't even TRYING to hide her true nature, yet this guy, who I remind you could see through an elaborate government conspiracy last chapter, now is somehow unable to see through some of the most painfully blatant lies I have ever heard.
-
Random Cold Steel thought #14: Angelica is a walking injustice. Smart, independent, strong-willed, carefree, open-minded, ridiculously hot, brutal in battle: pratically the perfect woman. And of course she just so happens to be lesbian, meaning she's not among the romantic options <.<
-
Random Cold Steel thought #13: level 14 Rean can actually dodge attacks from level 45 Sara, and land hits on her. Power of NG+, sure, but the fact that he is inherently OP must have played a role, too.

Random Cold Steel thought #12: since a tsundere heroine wasn't enough, now we get a tsundere cat.

Ok, as part of my "modern 5D's decks" idea, I finally figured out Aki, Leo and Luna, and also the Nordic trio while at it. However, now I am faced with an even bigger challenge: Carly. How the hell do you make a functional Synchro deck with friggin' Fortune Ladies?
-
Congratulations for spending your time making 6000 posts on an internet forum, instead of going outside and getting a life! I know this isn't very credible coming from me lol Jokes aside, here's to an even longer time together. Which come to think of it, is probably how long it will take to finish Se7en -
Random Cold Steel thought #11: you know, it's funny. The game's main plot goes out of its way to push Alisa as the canon love interest, but when it comes to the bonding events, Emma is the one who has the explicitly romantic ones...
-
Random Cold Steel though #10: am I weird for finding the fishing minigame to be absolutely addicting?
-
Random Cold Steel thought #9: Claire's nickname is "the Icy Maiden", but she's so damn hot.
-
Random Cold Steel thought #8: while I appreciate that they would justify the existance of healing spots in-universe (they are apparently "charging stations" for the devices you use in battle), this does beg the question: who the hell installed such charging stations in deep forests, abandoned dungeons, underground cavers, and the likes?

Ah, girls who take the initiative. Gotta love those. I remember when a similar thing happened to me: we ended up being together for 3 years, and what wonderful years they were! Well, it's good to see a positive topic in this section for a change, best wishes for a happy time with your newfound love

http://i.imgur.com/qppoEmZ.jpg Of all the decks I am creating as part of my reimagining of 5D's, Jack's is the one I am the most proud of.

Not really a picture, but I DID find this on Imgur, so it counts (I think) http://imgur.com/gallery/v9RHe

The deck I ultimately made for Luna is a mix of her manga deck and Breo's anime deck. It does make use of the Chicken Game - AFD - Regulus combo, and it is lots of fun to use, so fuck Breo.
-
Update on the "modern 5D's" thing: made working decks for Aki and Leo. Now we get to the big problem: Luna. As you know my policy is "giving 5D's characters modern decks/archetypes that are fitting of their original strategy", but... WHAT THE HELL IS LUNA'S STRATEGY TO BEGIN WITH?

Kuribon is a terrible card, and Regulus... Well if there were ways to swiftly summon the guy and instantly tune, Regulus could be a decent card for field spell plays. Possibly in a Chicken Game - AFD combo: pay 1000, draw, destroy with AFD, regain 1000, bring another copy of CG, draw again, then recycle with Regulus?

Rusty's rambling's about something .Hack/Sign
Tomas Elliot replied to rustytengo's topic in General Discussion
Sign was an ok anime. However, it makes little sense on its own, and the PS2 games are essentially one game for the price of four (and not even a great game at that), so that ultimately turned me off. Mind you, the games aren't bad either... They are average. This is my issue with .hack. All media in the franchise are average, not horrid, but not great either, and given the sheer amount of time one is required to invest into the whole thing... I ultimately felt it wasn't worth it. The one thing I genuinely enjoyed, surprisingly enough, was the prequel light novel. I usually am not into light novels, but that one was very well written. -
So, just because I am a 5D's guy at heart, I am creating "modern versions" of the decks of 5D's characters. I other words, I am reimagining how 5D's would have been, if all the synchro-centric decks of that era had the support they have now. Like, Yusei with the new Synchrons, Crow with Assault BWs, and so on...
