    Didn’t really go in with much of a setup, actually. I can see that I need to do some status ailment mitigation at least. My party is in their mid-forties.

    I’ve confirmed it with other people. That’s the pronunciation the localizers went with, apparently, and I only noticed because of headphones!

    I’m a bit dejected today. I’ve failed two hunts in the Necrohol of Nabudis, and I got my ass handed to me by Cúchulainn. I don’t know whether I should find a place to grind to finish the things up or just make my way through the Feywood and come back after Giruvegan. For now, I’m just kinda sad

    Another weird thing I noticed - the d in Reddas is apparently pronounced like a th sound. Reddas, Vaan, and Balthier all said it that way and I had headphones on, so I doubt it was audio issue.

    So I can’t beat Roblon because of those smurfing skeletons. I did beat Carrot though despite it being both a higher rank and an elite mark

    I actually had to memorize all the states for my American life and institutions class so I’d do better than most but still probably mess up most of my answers.

    Still, you’re not exactly one to have to be apologetic about it since you’re still one of the more culturally aware Americans I’ve encountered, and that’s very appreciated.

    Now I’ve reached the Tchita Uplands and the trek to Archades is much smoother and easier than I remember. I almost feel like I’m overleveled. In FFXII. How.

    She’s my Uhlan too but I do agree that there is tons of fun time magic. I’m just having real trouble determining what conditions should set them off

    Czechia and Slovakia don’t count as Baltic’s because they don’t even have access to the Baltic seas, or any sea for that matter. I have seen actually lumping Poland together with Baltic countries (Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia), even though like you said, we share nothing with them. In fact, only Lithuania and Latvia are linked by a linguistic heritage - Estonian is an Ugro-Finnic language which, interestingly enough, is not part of the indoeauropean super family of languages that is shared by most European languages, as well as Hindi and other neighboring language, with the link between all us being a shared proto-indoeuropean language and Sanskrit.

    Yeah, our cultural identity has always been a big topic for us with the bulk of literature in the romance period and onwards being centered on that. I personally really like that cultural trait and I am pretty proud to have this sort of bullheadedness about my autonomy culturally ingrained into my psyche, though I can see a lot of people taking it too far with stuff as harmless as wearing red and white eagle shirts on a daily basis, to very worrying trends like the increase in nationalism and elements of that nationalism bleeding into our political doscourse. Like many things, it’s a double edged sword. But nevertheless, I do consider myself a patriot, and as much as an inferiority complex I may have because of it, I still believe I’m pretty lucky to have been born here.

    I have a passing knowledge of Hettalia, so I might look into it one day. But that does sum up how we’re all viewed by the world, doesn’t it

    That sounds very similar to the word we use for small dumplings in Polish (pierożki), which is actually a diminutive form of pierogi (which, incidentally, is actually a plural form; one “pierogi” in Polish is actually called “pieróg”).

    But even though we have those similarities, Polish and Russian are actually very different languages that are mutually completely unintelligible (though with some hand gestures and similar words, you can communicate more easily that with speakers of completely unrelated languages). People are usually surprised when I tell them that, as we’re all pretty much conflated info one big Slavic mass from a more Western perspective. Which is to be expected, I guess.

    An interesting thing to note is the word for thank you, as it’s one of those things that separate West Slavic languages (Polish, Czech, Slovak) from East Slavic ones (Russian, Ukrainian, Belarus). The Eastern word is some variant of spasiba, while we Western Slavs use the Germanic riot found in German and English - our “dziękuje” sounds very similar to “danke” and, by extension, “thank you”.

    That all said, I don’t think I’ve ever tried actual Russian piroshki! Then again, over here we don’t exactly do Russian cuisine. It’s very rare to the point that I never encountered the restaurant like that. We get all the standard exported cuisines, plus Czech and Lithuanian stuff at the appropriate borders, but things from a bit farther to the East are not common in the slightest.

Games tha are distracting me from playing other games...

by Wolf Kanno on 12-10-2023 at 06:09 AM
Since I'm doing a marathon, I thought it would be fun to list the games that are distracting me from actually finishing said marathon.

FFXV ~ MGS: Peace Walker and SaGa Scarlet Graces
FFXIII ~ Breath of Fire 1-3 and MechCommander Gold
XIII-2 ~ Romancing Saga Re:Universe and FF: Opera Omnia

Will update more in the future...

Projects!!!

by Wolf Kanno on 01-28-2021 at 07:40 AM
Oof, I've been a bit out of sorts with my mental health lately, and I think it's about time I do something about that. I've got a lot of balls in the air so to speak concerning projects I've been doing around the forum both past and present. So I'm thinking about tackling a few of them, but with how I've been feeling lately, I want some second opinions I guess. Of the projects I've abandoned, what should I work on next?

Here's where I'm at for the moment:

WK's Top 100 Lost but Not Forgotten : Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together

by Wolf Kanno on 05-24-2020 at 11:43 PM

I'm always split on these articles. So many of these games are great and I have retroactively said a few of them made the list, but occasionally something comes along that I really want to love but the game just won't let me. Tactics Ogre is in a weird place for me because the remake and the original are pretty different in some meaningful ways, so much of this review pertains to the remake due to having only played a little bit of the original.

WK's Top 100's Lost but Not Forgotten List: Silent Hill 3

by Wolf Kanno on 05-03-2020 at 01:37 AM
Is this honestly the first non-RPG on this list?

Well I fell into the Silent Hill series rather late. By the time I had played the series, the "glory years" were over and fans were knee deep in Konami trying to take the series in a different direction without Team Silent. I was a huge fan of the first two entries of the series, being instantly sucked into the second entry and surprised how much I really enjoyed the first one. So it came as a bit

WK's Top 100 Lost But Not Forgotten: SaGa Frontier 2

by Wolf Kanno on 04-05-2020 at 02:32 AM
I was having a serious reservation about whether I was going to add this to my Top 100 list or place it here. I decided it would go here for now, but part of me feels it could be like Demon's Souls and make the jump to My Top 100.


SaGa is a weird franchise. A JRPG series made for enthusiast who feel they've seen it all. From the Gameboy entries where you built a ragtag group filled with robots and monster to climb a tower/tree to visit
