Its probably overall my least favorite yugioh series. With 120 episodes they never really sold me on Link Vrains as setting or even as a plot device. They abandoned the SOL technology plot threads, only Queen was ever really sort of a character. Aoi was such a joke of a character throughout the entire show. Go was no better. The second season seemed like it could never figure out which direction it wanted to go with Bohman. The final season felt rushed. Duels were a chore to actually keep track of because links are a terrible mechanic for TV.
It had some good moments though. Brave MAX and a Knight of Hanoi both bricking and playing it off was pretty funny, most stuff dealing with Soulburner and Revolver was good, mirror force being a card hyped up by the characters in season 1 was fun, and the final duel was pretty fantastic and emotional. But unfortunately so much of the rest of the show was just not it for me.

Home has effectively been just a team lead at my store for a while. Kind of annoying considering how home always has freight and it rarely gets finished overnight.

I was hyped for Trails of Cold Steel 4 because of one of the Japanese trailers really sold me on it. But when I actually got there I kinda disliked a lot of the decisions that game made. Mainly with writing, because the gameplay was still the fun battle system introduced with 3.

Legion Mate, but personally I miss his longer floofier hair from Season 1 and 2.

For productivity honestly you could go either way, but I think artists tend to favor the iPad for Procreate. For general notetaking I personally recommend Goodnotes, and its available on either platform
For media consumption I'd probably favor the samsung tablet, honestly. Main reason being that you can install apps from outside the main app store. This opens the door to more gaming emulators (the heavier duty ones like PS2 onwards are only on android because Apple doesnt allow JIT), and alternative social media/video streaming apps that bypass ads/add extra features.

As a Legion Go 2 user, I can confirm this is still the case on the current version and the Legion Go 2 exclusive buttons being worthless in this update are still a major pain point for me.
Tyaph
Star Ocean 6 and Harvestella come to mind. I don't know their actual sales numbers but the vibe I get is that they weren't exactly huge splash releases for the genre.
Tyaph
My vote goes to SO3. SO4 and 6 feel like they lean harder into sci fi whereas SO2 leans more heavily into fantasy.

Jerome was awesome. I really would like to see more of him so he'd be my pick.
Tyaph
Personally the characters and their private actions/banter as a group were my favorite parts about the game. The lack of talking NPCs, feeling the lack of budget around every corner and sloppy villain writing in the back end of the game hold it back for me, but its still probably my 3rd favorite SO game after 2 and 3.
Tyaph
Ah sick. Those two issues are the main problems I have with Steam OS at the moment. I only really avoided Bazzite on my Legion Go 2 because I wasn't big on them changing Discover to Bazaar (had some update hiccups on my GPD Win 4).
Are there any issues that persist on Bazzite for the Legion Go 2?
Tyaph
It did reasonably well in Japan afaik, which is the only region that even got the collab. It was unfortunately horribly mismanaged in its final year of service.

Depends on the game. In the Genshins/Wuwas I typically pick a character I really like and build the meta team around them. I wont build a main DPS in this type of game unless I really like them. The rest of the team will supplement them, and hopefully the rest of the team is also characters I like, but not mandatory (common for me to like the supports in Wuwa, but Genshin supports are typically filler to me).
For Blue Archive I mostly roll meta until there's a character I really like the design for. Its rare enough that I can do both.
Heaven Burns Red to me isnt much of a waifu game so I typically pull meta.

Big fan of Ymir in Trails of Cold Steel 2. The cozy vibes from the nice resting music, friends hanging around in various places across town, supportive family and villagers, the mainly wood cabin aesthetic and the steaming footbaths and hotsprings in the snow really make the place feel most like home to me. It actually saddens me that nobody hangs out there in the second half of the game and that the music changes away from "Relief Towards Tomorrow."
I will say though, there is this one city in Star Ocean 6 that kinda feels like it has a fairly believable city scale. It takes some time to travel across the whole thing even with DUMA, and I think thats kinda neat. Unfortunately theres just a lack of talking NPCs in the game so theres no time to really get attached to a setting.

I'm coping for something like FFBE's FF Resonance. Kinda hope that it does well and Square Enix decides to greenlight something similar for Anamnesis.
Tyaph
Thats Lezard, a character from Valkyrie Profile.

Played JP from launch til close, also juggled Global when it was a thing. I still stand by it being the best action mobile game I have ever played on a phone. I really wish it was still playable today with just peer to peer multiplayer or even just offline in its state just before EOS.
I still have my JP account with the character viewer on one of my old phones. I really wish I could transfer that over to another device.

Somewhat shy, cute, and a good singer. College student is also a plus. I'm sure that there's an element of meta bias too.
Tyaph
There literally is, you're just not using them. I cannot control my system TDP limit or refresh rate without a secondary application on windows, whereas its just there on the quick menu on steam os or bazzite. Big picture mode also doesnt unload unnecessary processes like it does on Steam OS or even Xbox Mode on Windows.
Its fine to prefer what you like, but there are differences.
Tyaph
Yeah, the biggest concern(s) for me is whether it'll make the physical disc deadline and whether it'll truly be the final game in the arc. I've begrudgingly made my peace about not having physical copies for the rest of the series, but I'm at least hoping I can have the bookend to the current arc on the same platform I have the entire rest of the series on. Honestly I'm not entirely confident they'd choose finishing Calvard over finishing the Sky remakes with 3rd.
I'm still mad about all new playstation physical game production ending in 2028. I figured the next generation console probably wouldn't have disc drives since they were optional this gen, but I had thought it might be possible to finish the series on PS5, even a few years into the next console launch.
Tyaph
Nah. I don't really feel like that's a limitation for them. There are plenty of ways you could make stories after SO3.
Tyaph
I too like the Library going down as you progress. It's like a descent into hell. Just continuously gets worse.
But yeah I also just appreciate how less monotonous it is. I just wish Marvin Mobuto was put in that last layer as if i recall correctly he made it nearly to the end in the novelization. In here its more like halfway.
Tyaph
They're not really doing anything out of the ordinary. The app isn't launching, so they try forcing it off and relaunching the app. That's one of the first few things someone should try doing to fix such an issue.
People who just "tap on shit" end up with 10 billion launchers, shovelware games, news readers, and pdf readers on their device. This person knows what they're doing.
Tyaph
I have the 10 pro and honestly I run into some apps not starting issue as well. A reboot fixes it, but its annoying to have to do that whenever it happens.
I haven't made it my daily driver phone (mainly because I've been too lazy to move from my eSim phone to a physical sim on this one), so I can't really attest to the other problems. But I'm at least with you on one.
Absolutely I enjoy it. I bought it for the power and the mouse gimmick and I'm still satisfied with it. I typically don't play a ton of high demanding games but its still enough for the Expedition 33s, Crimson Deserts and Final Fantasy 7s on the higher end of my library. Plus its just an extra computer I can use for stuff.
My only gripe about the thing is Lenovos half assed support of the device and lack of communication.
