Ilandar

NEW LAYTON

I just need to sit down and force myself to get into it again. I know once I get past the Great Bay Temple I'll start enjoying the game again but there are several hours of tedious gameplay before that.

My only complaint about that game is that the pace of the main story doesn't match the pace of the game world. Everything else about the world, particularly in hardcore mode, really suits roleplaying but the main quest doesn't give Henry enough opportunies to do other stuff. You are forced to play out of character and ignore the urgency of the main quest if you want to take your time and enjoy the slow and relaxing atmosphere. Still a great game though, I will complete my second playthrough this year in preparation for the sequel.

EDIT: (As this is a Nintendo community, I should point out that I am playing on PC.)

I'd like to finally finish Majora's Mask this year, 24 years after I started playing it. The furthest I've made it was Ikana Castle, and that was back when I was a kid. My current save file is at the Pirate's Fortress but I haven't touched it in over a year. My struggle to complete this game started off as not being very good at it, then I got a bit older it turned into this thing where I didn't want to finish the game because I didn't want it to be over and now I'm just so bored of replaying the same bit that every time I attempt another completion I lose interest before I get to the new stuff.

Because their entire poltical and world view is based on identity politics. They cannot simply say "that joke sucked" and move on, they have to make it into yet another virtue signalling exercise and lecture everyone else because that is the behaviour they associate with being a "good person".

Thanks for sharing!

This is the type of list someone you meet at a party who "loves movies" would give you.

but I always had the impression you didn’t really like me

Not at all, I'm not sure why you'd think that.

Seventeen-year-olds, last I checked, were kids.

It's one of my favourites! I have a box set of the manga too. :)

The first character I created in the MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic back when it launched was an Imperial Agent (Operative) called Lastelle Ilandar. Lastelle is the name of the Princess of Pejite in Hayao Miyazaki's 'Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind' and Ilandar was an original surname I thought sounded good when paired with Lastelle. Because I played on a roleplaying server initially, I created a little backstory for the character where she was a daughter of a noble Alderaanian family (House Ilandar). Her family planned to marry off against her wishes, so she joined Imperial Intelligence as a means of rebelling against them. A lot of people use their nickname or gamer name as their online username but I've never had one of those so this has sort of become the default one for me, although I haven't used it that often.

Who said anything about five year olds?
