Hey, my little bro a starting Vagrant Story today. Do you have a link to that thread you did that you gave me when I started? It was insanely helpful.

That sounds rough. Having people push or pull you in different directions hurts. All those external pressures I hope an easier path reveals itself to you soon!

I don't think I really had much problem with Maya the last time I played. The only things I remember from that playthrough that made me rage was Ouroboros (both forms) and Jimenez whom I ultimately couldn't beat. I will this time, though!

I wanna get all Fiends to make that easier, but I read Mother Harlot can be problematic to get on Neutral. Do you remember any details? Have any tips?

I think I actually prefer it this way to how it was say in SMT 1. I'd rather not die so frequently because of stupid random encounters (though I still do, hello Baphomet with Mamudoon) and then challenge actually tough bosses. All the ones in the original were so underwhelmingly easy. Though I gotta say, I've really gotten much better at these games. The first time I struggled so hard with her first form. This time she went down without a cinch, and I don't have Luster Candy yet. I just naturally outdamaged her healing.

Got stuck on Ouroboros' second form, by the way

It's been nice to have my anxiety relatively in check too, nor letting it stop me from pursuing things. Although I did get stuck in Shinjuku station for a while earlier this week so what have you been up to lately man?

I'm a tad afraid of burn out. I feel like I've pushed too hard, too far, too fast and some spectacular crash is inevitable. But just like the terrific videogame Rocket League, I tend to do better when I'm flying by the seat of my pants and unable to waste time thinking.

Not much to complain about. The whole chronic pain thing is a bit of a mess but I'm teaching game design at a university at 23 so I'd say I've done okay for myself!

That's the best I could have hoped for! I still have plenty of stupid threads but now they all take place in my head, and all my really good ideas get turned into paid articles so I do feel much better appreciated by people 'above' me

Well, its not entirely as bad, since it uses enemy search, so it's something Didn't they do the same for IV?

Nice Tenchi avatar, btw
