Got through Castti's chapter 4 boss, which was a race between your max hp reduction and damage per turn. It's an invitation to match his deranged aggression, who pelts you with party wide status ailments that can even disable healing. This was pretty cool!

Before Alice could prepare a retort for Aoko's grief, her curiosity towards the esoteric ultimately took the lead. "... What is the Mouse RTA?"

"The new guy didn't seem to know the difference between an overhead and a mid. Can you believe that? I thought he'd be a lost cause, so I told him about Mouse RTA for fun. At least he seemed to know the mouse."

"Ok here's this enemy called Hell Antenora :)" and then you get five of them at once. In Legendary Dark Knight mode every room is just a punchline served with More Adds.

Yuri's mystic arte is a bit more than just cutscene slop; Not only does it get an ability that lets you mash for more hits like it's marvel, it can rack up hits for Yuri's overlimit thresholds for every enemy it hits in the vicinity.

PS5 version seems to have no problems with screenshots or video clips (they're 60 fps) from the beginning to the first dungeon with Eizen. That's as far as I got with a friend, so I don't know how much it can change later.

It is funny to see that the last boss causes a shockwave after getting knocked down, and that you have to jump over it to keep your position.

If you've been on the fence about trying Granblue Versus Rising, the free edition seems to end november 1st, 2026. So a little over a month to check it out starting today. rising.granbluefantasy.jp/en/products/

I guess EXP Zero damage storage is as good as they say. Trickmaster would normally take me 3-4 minutes. lol Perform the melee combo finisher, then use magic / summon for increased damage.👍

Wait, so if I keep hitting Leon with the first aerial attack, I can back him into a corner and perpetuate this sort of 5 hits > counter > evade situation until he loses all HP?

It's a difficult fight to win without taking damage (quickly, anyway), and just as fun as duels with Riku.

The egg console Ys PC-88 release is a good opportunity to (hopefully) expand my japanese vocabulary with primarily hiragana text. I still can't process much at a time, but focusing on learning words instead of kanji (a subtle difference lol) might be the play at my low level. I hope it works
Ys PC-88 EGG Console screenshot. The fortune teller Sara is speaking to the protagonist Adol. She is saying that Adol is the exact person she has been looking for, and that Adol should come back after getting his equipment in order. She has a favor to ask.

This one was released in 2012, and I know some games I have (2012-2014) still came with more detailed manuals. But AC5 was certainly showing signs. lol www.manua.ls/sony/armored...

Muggs @muggshotter.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
The english manual for AC5 is quite compact, mostly focusing on menu controls, mission flow for online teams and generic notes. But the japanese manual covers battle actions, where it... actually mentions scan mode increasing boost gauge refill rate.👀 media.fromsoftware.jp/fromsoftware...
The bottom section of Armored Core 5's Japanese instruction manual, page 19.

Translation: Scan Mode's Strengths

Attacking is not possible during Scan Mode. Instead, the EN gauge's recovery is faster compared to Combat Mode, making it useful for scouting and other things.

Original Japanese text (transcribed): スキャンモードの特長
スキャンモード時には攻撃を行うことができません。その代わり、ENゲージの回復が戦闘モードよりも早くなるため偵察などに適しています。

Reverse joint legs were the play. Heavy variants let me equip more weapons, while keeping high jumps and fast leaps off of walls. Got me through the remaining story missions. 👍

It's a bit less feature rich compared to SC2; You pick a character for the run (1 save file per char) and play one stage mission at a time for a new weapon or plot progression. You can select a different weapon before each stage, and replay previously cleared missions.

Something that I've liked about Onimusha Dawn of Dreams is the shift between behind-the-back and fixed perspectives. The game starts with the former, but is quick to assure that there is still value in showing action from a higher point of view.
