How did I miss that Lyrica Live posted another song, what's more another duet?!  

A bit strange for her to suddenly decide to do a stage theme, but it certain fits well.

The final chapter of Wild and Horned Hermit is out!  Can ZUN write a satisfying ending?

I'm surprised the Fantasy Maiden Wars fan-translation team is doing the bonus stage translations on the S.A. thread, since Clarste said they weren't particularly interesting or important enough for it.  It's not an inaccurate description, since it's basically just Stages 47-49 again........just without the roster gutted to Hell and back.  At least the setup is kind of interesting (if a bit self aware).

Though the most important part naturally isn't the set up but the extra dialoge.  Praise Shinki!

Battled a Sylvan player for the first time in what feels like a year.  It's just as slow as I remember it being.

After about a decade and a half of reading various fanfiction, it's honestly been a shock that my current favorite author has an extremely consistent schedule for the past three years of me following them.  Outside of work events, emergencies, and holidays,  they've consistently updated 3 to 4 stories a week with decent sized chapters of great quality (imo).    It's definitely a treat to look forward to those days when one of the fics I'm reading is getting updated.

There really isn't much point to this status really.  Just gushing a bit.

How can Amethyst not like this good boi?

Maybe I'll catch a happy birthday post before it's over in your timezone

Happy Birthday, Zarc!  May your Jiben Woo's have been great today

By the time I'm out of from the doctor's appointment, the internet will have already exploded from the Pokemon Direct.  It's a bit more fun seeing the immediate reaction rather than seeing the echos a few hours later.

Still sad that Flygon never got it's planned canon mega, especially since they seemed to have veered away from Megas after Gen 6 (after giving Megas to many Pokemon that didn't need them)  unless the pokemon direct hints at more in Gen 8.

Finally trying Renegade Platinum again.  After too many tries I finally beat the obstacle that partly dimished my interest the last time I played:  actually beating Barry in the first battle using either Chimchar or Piplup.  I never tried with Turtwig, but Pip and Chim could never get enough damage in until I finally just Growl-spammed the one time Turtwig didn't Withdraw-spam.   That was the most annoying first battle of any Pokemon game I've played.

I know you don't have to win, but still.....

It's interesting to hear about the history of this nostalgic game (which the video reminded me is getting a remake soon). 

Honestly, this is still the only Zelda game I've actually played myself, either because of lack of console or (currently) still not being good at controlling faster paced games on my laptop.  Even with emulators, I'm used to either controllers or something I put my hands around.

Pokemon Take it Easy

While I occasionally looked at what was discovered (usually when a Youtuber posted about it), I never knew they got so far with this search.......quite a suspicious rabbit hole

Wow, a new 'A SLAP on Titan' episode.  Apparently, this is one of the random videos Youtube won't embed so a link will have to do.

I wonder which will be out first: the next two episodes of ASoT or Episode 19?

Another case of not liking a character but liking their theme music (and most remixes/arrangements of it), which I may as well bring up since I wanted to post about Lyrica Live's new Lyrical Touhou adaptation.  Eiki Shiki's theme from Touhou 9 (PoFV).

I'm not a fan of songs with any sort of 'intro' (for lack of a better term) even if it fits her lectures, so I count the song starting at 35 seconds.  The fairy chorus is a nice touch along with her being able to successfully sing over them for the most part.  As per usual, her 'judgments' at 3:20 are the best part about her for me......this part just flows so well while being accurate to the characters she is talking about.   

It's kind of sad that I only really like her for providing more insight into other characters, especially since she is one of the few genuinely well-meaning Touhou characters.

It's hard to believe E.A. actually did something rather amazing (or at least cool) back in the day, even if it failed in the end.

Well screenshots all three new demo Touhous are online.  Time to see if either the demo itself or their themes get put online first.

ZUN revealed the design of a new Touhou character 20 minutes ago and there is already fanart.   Never change internet.....never change.
