[hype train last call]

Awh man, if it does go off without a hitch next weekend, most of my full week off I requested for Actually Unrelated Reasons(disclosure: I am not a beta tester for this episode the timing is just really funny!)won't be able to be used playing Reborn E19!  I guess that means I might be able to get a bunch more progress in Elden Ring before the TRUE GOTY takes over the rest of my time, huh?

[the hype train hits lightspeed]

Out of curiosity, will Ice Beam be sitting there if I haven't completed the dex quest but HAVE done the 300 mon reward?  Cause that applies to me.  Just wanna make sure I'm not missing out on ol' reliable 90 BP ice coverage

[Is this your card?]

A card for my birthday?  And the one I voted for no less?  You shouldn't have!  

 

On a more serious note, whomst'dve?  Am I blanking on who that is because i'm tired or

[optimization finale: "fuck i gotta stop doing this"]

My goodness.  A lot of the code stuff flies over my head but it is an enlightening(and entertaining!) read every time.  On a more serious note, please take some time to yourself to just relax if you need it Cass.  We all know how hard you(and the rest of the dev team!)work, and we appreciate it.   Game wouldn't be worth it if it ends up causing actual pain(aside from essentials headaches which are part and parcel of dev)to y'all!

[Difficulty Modes and Battle Chart]

I really like the philosphy behind the difficulty modes here.  Tweaking teams can lead to a whole lot of nonsense, and I feel should really be reserved for if something truly is broken and messed up.  ...I.E Serra.  You know the one.  Anyways, I actually really look forward to this, and I think it might convince some of my friends to actually get into Reborn

Oh no

[My to-do List is back up to 150 lines.]

Look at dem boofers!  also i can't believe you put the DOG GROOMER IN THE CAT SALON HOW DARE YOU AME

 

In all seriousness glad to see E17 is chugging along and that the big issue remains to be Essentials' lack of AI.  Yikes.  Also good to hear the weather bug is fixed, that stuff was annoying.

[Some insight into how I test all things Alola...]

I'm so glad that this exists.  It was not a mistake to ask Amethyst on twitter to see what hell Alolan Exeggutor looked like in game.  This is a Good Thing.
