The last few days I reached Chapter 10 of Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, and when I had finished the map, either the game crashed while I was doing inventory management, or the emulator messed up! At that point I decided to just start a romhack I had heard was good, for FE8 called The Morrow's Golden Country. I am already up to Chapter 11 and greatly enjoying it. The Lord is a gay magic girl Lord. I think the writing is pretty decent too!

I also did most of the sixth stratum of the Dimensional Tower in ZakuZaku Actors, which I've been playing since before I even started making this website. It's a long game.

29/08/25 7:05am - Wow!!!! Chapter 7 and 8 of Fire Emblem 1 both kinda blew

but I got a lot of XP from the literally 50+ dudes that come in as reinforcements Barst went from level 8 to 19, and marth from 8 to 15. Most everyone else got one or two levels. Merric got four. I enjoyed Chapter 9, though.

26/08/25 2:09am - I had to redo Chapters 1 and 2 because I decided to setup Retroachievements to keep me from abusing save states!

Hiiiiiiii! I had to redo Chapters 1 and 2 because I decided to setup Retroachievements to keep me from reward me for not abusing save states!

Look! I'm doing it. I'm starting Chapter 3 now! My strategy for Chapter 2 was to leave Marth and Oguma at the starting area to fight the mooks coming from the north and collect a new recruit, while everyone else went west in a big deathball right down the middle with no finesse or subterfuge whatsoever.

It worked flawlessly!!!!!

On this map, I wanted to try something new, so my strategy will be to leave Caeda and Abel to fight the mooks coming from the north and collect 3 new recruits while everyone else went west in a big deathball right down the middle with no finesse or subterfuge whatsoever.

It worked flawlessly!!!!

Healers don't get XP from healing in this, only from dodging attacks, so I park Lena on a fort for a while. Her level ups suck. She gets one weapon level and nothing else, not even hp, from three level ups.

I also found this story from the briefly released and then delisted official english localisation of this game and its manual. Cruel thing to do, Nintendo. Fucked up even. Making a game only temporarily buyable to try drive more sales is evil. Anyway, now I actually know whats happening in the story.

New face. Man, Uncaring About All The Pain And Suffering Surrounding Him.

24/08/25 11:13pm - Starting a Fire Emblem Journey.

Hiiiiii! I'm playing these for the first time. I've only played a little of Fire Emblem 6 and like a decent third of Fire Emblem 7 and Three Houses or something before this.

This game just throws you right into it with no intro or cutscene! Pirates from Garda are attacking, Mars/Marth!!!

Ahhhhhhh these portraits are so good. Sly Armoury Man and Smug Binch Villager are new favs.

And check out the pirates attack animation!!!!!!

This map is just two screenshots and is not 100% accurate since there's some overlap in the middle. My genius strategy to handle this pirate horde is going to be to send everyone west in a big deathball right down the middle with no finesse or subterfuge whatsoever.

It worked flawlessly!!!!!! I saved da sneepy king

And I got to meet a cute Mysterious Save Screen Girl?? WHO IS SHE
