So @meatbag has a bit of a pause from striking.
holy shit you actually made @meatbag stop for a second

not exactly the parameters of the BOUNTY, but you’ve MANIFESTED +100 DIGNITY for the ABYSS with this act of violent kindness
 
You gave @meatbag a Death Note??? How the heck is that even possible? He's not even in BOOKS! Scary tomes would be our domain!

...hey, hold on a sec. For the Death Note to work, you need a person's name and you need to know their face when writing their name. We're all talking under pseudonyms here without showing our faces. Unless the rules have changed in this game, us users should be safe, right?

A mysterious machine whirs softly in the middle of a large room in the Montatwo residential area. Someone was putting the final touches on the runic circle below it. Then they stand up, dust themselves off, and walk over to their companion.

"Do you think it'll work?"

"The theory is sound."

"That theory is like 17 different theories. From 17 different fields that usually don't get mashed with each other."

A hand hovers a moment above a shiny red button, before descending. "Orders are orders. It's time to test it out."

GAMBIT: HOUSE OF SWITCH TWO

"So tell me again, why aren't we just for Nintendo to release the damn thing?"

"This won't just be a Switch 2. This will be the Switch 2. The very embodiment of the concept. The Artifact on which the existence of all other Switch 2 units hinges on. Just imagine it. The potential of Nintendo's first party games on stronger hardware. The unshackled third party support. The power of the Switch 2, in the House of Two. The power of the future... in the palms of our hands."

It balances the game. It is JUST. You gave me authority to do this. You told me to judge the GAMBITS.

Oh. Oh god. @meatbag is in the proceedings smiling… violently. Are they going to rip everyone in the room to shreds? They’re kind of foaming at the mouth…

But this GAMBIT succeeded! Everything’s gonna go just f—

okay they’re scribbling in a little notebook. Right in front of us. Very fast. Looks feverishly giddy about whatever they’re doing.

THE RULER OF HOUSE BOOKS HATH SPOKEN!!!

(Just to be clear, this isn't an EXALTATION)
 
I call a MIDDLE-AGED FEATS OF STRENGTH GAMBIT! Each HOUSE has a one time summoning of all their strength for 100 dignity. Doing so though will cause the houses to pull a back muscle, leaving them debilitated for a couple of days. During this time, all CHORUS strikes will have a 50% chance of doing double damage.

Well now we all gotta attack BOOKS
if my interpretation of the OP is correct and "books" are meant to be a loose metaphor for video games, then the fact that Famiboards would have to band together and fight against video games is... actually pretty appropriate. 🤣

That being said I STRIKE BOOKS in the name of LOVE!!

The BOOKS people are apparently the ones without backlogs and play their games, yeah. If there was ever an anti-Famiboards faction, it's them lol.
 
Well now we all gotta attack BOOKS

They're forcing Fami to play by the BOOK
You're one to talk, pal. The whole reason we're in this mess is because you wouldn't tone down your bloodlust! We could've had peace, fun, and all the gambits we wanted, but no. You made this bed, buddy, and now you gotta lay in it.

Counterpoint: Look at my dang backlog:

VolcanicDynamo's Backloggd stats. Played: 363. Backlog: 369.
 
Foolish mortals, seeking to limit CHAOS. Cease this folly and embrace CHAOS.

For one of their number attempting to subvert CHAOS, I STRIKE BOOKS in the name of ABYSS

And I'm not stopping there...

GAMBIT: I embrace CHAOS (I mean I've already embraced CHAOS in a spiritual sense but I want to physically give CHAOS a hug, with back pats and affirmations)

We are all deteriorating now
Always have been

Counterpoint: Look at my dang backlog:
Damn VD, why you in BOOKS, you should be in TWO

The whole reason we're in this mess is because you wouldn't tone down your bloodlust!
You're right. You're absolutely right.

EVERYONE LET'S ATTACK BOOKS! TEAR THEIR PAGES OFF!

i used to read this as cahjoon when i was a kid
Hello there! Can I interest you in attacking BOOKS? You get to enjoy the thrill of violence, and it takes no time at all!
 
I decided to pick up FFVI PR yesterday, since I'm in such an FF vibe right now. Just did the opera. Holy smokes did they improve the soundtrack. I love it, every song is just so powerfully rendered. It makes all the plot beats hit so hard, and they already hit very hard as is. I've read divisive opinions, but I love how they added lyrics to the opera.



Oh, what timing!

You can't skip the opera, and IIRC you're supposed to enter the rich man's house to progress the story.
The opera is super frustrating to mess up. That last button press with the flower toss is so narrow in timeframe.

I figured it would not be possible since it's integral to the games plot.
But I wonder what would happen if I do not have Celes and Locke in the group? And instead I go with Edgar, Sabin, Cyan and Gau?
I suppose the director do not appear in the Jidoor house if I do this, can someone confirm?

Your actions were regrettable, but nevertheless thank you for embracing the violence! We hope you keep on drawing blood from here on out.
