I changed my discord profile picture to be the same one as on here and got this DM from someone in a server I havent been active in for like four years so I think this proves that wendy is best girl.

So incredibly excited for RE9. Weird how they decided to have the daughter (I think?) of a character from a spinoff nobody talks about as the protagonist but it's capcom they can do what they want.

This is absolutely beautiful, the tiny wyvern is adorable too. It kinda looks like shes looking behind her to see if its still there.

Going for a walk/flight ^^

Same except I also just dont have money for games.

Every time there's a big steam sale I'm so overwhelmed by all the options that I don't know what to buy and end up not getting anything or buying something at the literal last minute. The only thing I've bought so far is the Crash Bandicoot Nsane Trilogy because it was $4 and that's an amazing price to be able to play some of my favorite games on steam deck

Honestly though Balthus is extremely babygirl coded. One of my favorite 3H characters (though overall im not a huge fan of ashen wolves outside of its gameplay/map design) anyway this is absolutely gorgeous I love your style.

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance the bad maps

No good stupid bad bad bridge:

I'm going to rant about some maps in a game you probably havent played before. Now you should probably play it because it's very very good but I'm not here to talk about the good (but there is a lot of it really) I'm here to talk about chapter twentey fucking three and its friends. First I want you to just take a look at it.

Doesn't look so bad right? Just a bridge you have to cross to get to the boss and take the fort, it's pretty simple really. Except no no no this is a damn lie because of course theres a one-off gimmick not found anywhere else in the game. Pitfalls. When passing over certain spaces any foot or mounted unit will fall into a hole and lose their whole turn, and these are spread everywhere. If you dont know where they are ahead of time you absolutely will fall into them. Now this by itself isn't much more than a minor nuisance, by this point in the game you have some pretty good flying units available but you'd better hope you picked up the full guard back in chapter 16 or have one that's decently tanky because of course theres fucking ballistae which can nuke your fliers if they arent prepared. The worst part is that chapter 23 isnt even particularly difficult it's just slow as hell to get through and very, very annoying. (You do get haar though and he's pretty good.) so chapter 23 is pretty universally considered the worst map in the game but personally I think It's beat out by chapter 25.

Literally an (un)natural disaster:

Could't find a good screenshot of the whole map but this map from serenes forest should get the point across. 25 is a rout map. Despite the game heavily implying it would be a kill boss map in the pre-battle scene.

Ranulf: "We run up the mountain as quickly as possible and smash the enemy commander!" Right?

Ike: Right... How did you—

Ranulf: I know...genius.

Soren: Actually, that is the best plan. Try to avoid the boulders and reach the top as quickly as possible. Once there, defeat the general.

Ike: Right. Move out!

On my first playthrough this actually led to me trying to just kill the boss to get it over with because playing this chapter sucks. Only to realize I actually have to kill all of the enemies, which in all fairness is partially a skill issue but I also blame the game on that one. This map's "unique" feature is of course the boulders that the enemy army will push down the mountain towards you. They do a fixed 10 damage eace which isnt a lot but can be the difference between you surviving and dying from an enemy attack (Happened to my Stefan with an unlucky hit after the the boulder). Now really that isnt so bad but on top of that the whole terrain slows down all of your mounted units and theres more ballistae for your fliers so you'd better hope you've been training your laguz and foot units as well because otherwise it's even more of a slog than usual.

Dishonorable mentions go to 24 for basically just throwing a bunch of enemies at you but that one is at least a bit interesting, and chapter 27 where the main map is pretty decent but theres a boss fight at the end that's literally just your lord and the boss smaking each other around by themselves in a room which for a strategy game is really bad design even if it is a cool story moment.

Unfortunately all of PoR's bad maps are concentrated towards the very end of the game which just makes it so unsastisfying to me since the story is really ramping up around then and it's a damn good story for a fire emblem game. I'm sure anyone reading this probably hasn't played the game and has no idea what I'm talking about but I just wanted to rant about some bad parts of a game I love.
