Was feeling paranoid since I went to the legal site before they had updated my total so while to the court I paid in full to them I had to send a "partial amount" so I checked the site with my info just now and looks like it is indeed closed out, thank goodness

Got a reduction so only have to pay $42 now, which is still an appreciable amount for me (especially this month) but it both clears the only ticket I've ever had and goes directly to the court rather than that fuckass legal company

Also I'm slowly grinding my way through writing up the tier list for all 420 characters again, and if you haven't played much/any of the game and are wondering how deep some of the characters go (surely I didn't with having so many after all), here's Void Child Inquisitor Ufuoma
Ufuoma is S tier, but that's partly because of their unique skill. Firstly, we have to talk about Void Child stats and some of the sort of secret lore of the game. They get low Hp and Mp, but very low Mp costs, +125% Armor, and immunity to critical hits. Vulnerable to DoTs, but pretty resistant to burst damage and easy to use. Since they're immune to critical hits, Ufuoma doesn't have Condemn to apply guaranteed crits to an enemy or themself. Instead they have Foreordain. Foreordain deals damage to all enemies based on Ufuoma's own Armor stat, which again, is more than double most characters, but there's a catch. When using it, if there's more than one enemy, Ufuoma debuffs themself with an Armor -50% penalty. What's not in the description is that if there IS only one enemy, Ufuoma actually gains a 30% Armor buff. If you hover over the buff icon it'll say flavortext about it being an Ippwidden Chapel service. There's two armor items that relate to this, the Ippwidden Chapel Chalice that gives Devotion and Armor when only one enemy remains, and the Ippwidden Chapel Headband that buffs the same stats when at least three enemies have been knocked out.

Anyway, Foreordain makes them S tier. It's strong enough that you can build Ufuoma's equipment to just focus on raising Armor, start the fight with it to clear out the weak enemies, use Purging Flame to damage whoever's left while getting the Armor debuff cleansed from yourself, and then either heal or Condemn again. Divine Valor also synergizes really well, and makes starting fights off with that extra 40% Armor even more useful. The thing holding them back from S+ is that without Condemn they have no single target burst damage for when there's an elite enemy you need to take out at the start of the fight, and because they are so focused on one strong skill it can lead to not supporting the team as much as the other Inquisitors do. But still, a rather secretly strong character.

Wild that Facebook reminded me that this was eight years ago, and how much of a nailbiter that was
A Kickstarter page for "IHLSBMCILSIREIKTFTDL: A 99 character RPG" with the subheader: 'I Have Low Stats But My Class Is "Leader", So I Recruited Everyone I Know To Fight The Dark Lord' is exactly what it says.

The goal was $2,000. With 68 backers and 38 minutes to go, the pledged amount sits at $2,001.

There's over 100 unlockable characters with limited sets of moves making party composition fun to explore. There's equipment that is easy to use or craftable ones that require conditions to be met like "are below 50% Hp" or "when no enemies have been defeated", there's a postgame, and of course

Makes me think especially of Belial in Diablo 3 since his main attack pattern involves slapping down with one arm, then the other, then both at the same time, with occasional screaming while turning from one side to the other

A Steam sale starts tomorrow that four of my games are participating in, but it's very funny how because many of my titles are long and have commas that it makes figuring out what titles are the actual ones a challenge at first glance
REMINDER!

This event is coming up quickly, so we wanted to check that Purgatory Dungeoneer, It's Six Random Characters and a Single Floor Dungeon, That's the Whole Game, I Have Low Stats But My Class Is "Leader", So I Recruited Everyone I Know To Fight The Dark Lord, Legend of Moros are all set to participate.

Of course it's now when I have to be careful with my money that Square remembers that the first TWEWY exists and they put it on sale for the first time since 2021 Also wild that it's only a 30% discount for a game that first released almost 20 years ago lol

I have a No Man's Sky stream on in the background for drops and saw these comments in the chat. While there is combat in the game, if that's the thing you're looking for to get into the game you're kind of missing the point of the game
Three Twitch chat comments from a user I've covered the name up on.
comment 1: when do you get to fight the big bad scary looking heavy hitting NPCs?
comment 2: i don't know i don't play this game but i'm interested in getting it
comment 3: wanna learn more about the combat side.

Been watching Blazblue videos because I want to try getting back into the game and saw this comment about Arakune and then realized that on my personal account my youtube profile picture has been this since like 2010, so I really do need to get back into the series
A Youtube comment from JohnGlow2 saying: It’s not the fear of the new player deciding to pick up Arakune or Izanami, its the fear of what type of demon they will become if they dedicate the time to these characters. Anyone who says theyre going to main Arakune is exhibiting pure black airforce energy and they must be stopped.

Just below is says "Add a reply..." and the profile picture of the person able to reply is of Arakune's crest.

Was getting My Hero Ultra Rumble videos in my recommended so watched a couple and looked up the game, and I think this may be the most damning review I've ever read of a game (that wasn't super shallow/an asset flip)
A Not Recommended Steam review with 140 hours of playtime that reads: if you currently enjoy your life dont play this game it will make you wanna smash your monitor to pieces if you dont enjoy your life this game may be the last one you every play. fighting a ofa deku is about as bad as getting cheated on by your wife of five years and his combos are about as inescapable as the child support you would have to pay. however this game is addicting and im pretty lucky with rolling meta battle styles so ill continue to pour my soul into it.

Got a letter requesting payment of debt which was very confusing to me because as far as I knew I don't owe anything to a court... only to look up the case number and remember the time a cop stopped me after walking under the train crossing arms 16 whole years ago
The top half of a legal notice from "Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP" saying I owe 142 dollars. Things like the case number and various codes have been edited out.Traffic case details from the court site they're collecting for with status "Collections Linebarger" showing this isn't a scam, but also that the filing date for this by the court was April Fool's Day 2010, so literally over 16 years ago.
