Fire Emblem series

[Dang Woodchucks!]

Mangs isn't entirely a good person, neither is Chaz or the people that victim-blamed Indie. I know people tend to chalk up Mangs as just being a dumb coomer, but people do genuinely take issues with his behavior outside of him having edgy cringe humor. A lot of them didn't even know Mangs until this shitfest happened. Now if we're talking about just the fetubers that continued to work with him who likely knew the ongoings of AnimeNorth, yeah I don't think these people have a leg to stand on.

So something that isn't e-celeb related, I'm now in chapter 5 and I just realized that Seth has 28 skill and that I had a master seal. I guess that's what happens when you're too lazy to check inventory and whatnot. I hope I don't need to worry too much about getting a Lunar Brace for Moulder.

Spoiler: new units

-Artur is a myrmidon with similar stats to Moulder. I guess I failed to mention that Moulder is a glass cannon who has 3 defense and no luck. Artur ended up with warding blow even though has no res to back him up.
-Lute and Natasha are Tarvos. They have a high HP pool which is refreshing to see considering most people in my group are made of wet tissue paper.
-L'arachel is a male priest, Dozla is a three-headed doggo, and Rennac is obviously unrandomized. I don't know if these are finalized or if they get re-randomized.

Spoiler: Just to be clear

I didn't mean "y'all" as in "the people ITT", I meant it as the clout chasers that aren't really any better than him. The fact barely any of them were barely active anymore and only spring into action again now that he's back and seem intent on just keep riding the drama train proves it.

I don't mean to defend Magnus or downplay what he did do wrong, just noticing he wants to do his videos in his corner of the internet (which is his right) and everyone else is still on his coattails. Which amuses me.

Spoiling this to not clutter the thread with e-celeb bs.

Btw anyone knows of a place i can get roms of the GBA games? I tried fixing my old pc to at least save that, but it was an exercise in frustration.

Nice you got a lot of monster unit I love those.
In randomised runs it's more about making the best of the mediocre/garbages unit you get and abusing 2-3 op ones you get.
As for promotions items, I used to just insert them with a gameshark codes since I randomised everything even chests.
I think you can get the promotions item in the secret shop tho.

Here's the team I had in my first randomised fe 8 run btw

And also: the whole Dawn Brigade fucking sucks statwise, except the guy with the axe. People who say otherwise are fucking lying.

Do Jill and Zihark count as Dawn Brigade? I personally consider everyone who joins in part 1 and stays in part 3 the "Dawn Brigade". Jill is unironically one of the best units in RD IF you stat boost her to hell and their is no one else in the entire game until Haar, where getting him the Dawn Brigade's resources has to wait till part 3 and he does fine as long as he gets a speedwing, that uses the DB's stat boosters better so you might as well do it. Boosting Jill also makes the part 3 sections with the Dawn Brigade so much easier because Jill can just speed up the maps so your shitty units have less time to kill themselves. Beastfoe boosted Jill is really strong, Wyverns are stupid broken in RD and you'd be a fool to not use both of them.

Nolan is okay, Nolan's problem is being foot locked and his starting steel axe is kind of shaky that man really needed to start with an Iron axe in hard mode. His final class is w/e especially once you add the bullshit Laguz royals and solid Greil Mercs so Nolan's only real use is during part 1 and part 3 outside of memes. Once you get Volug, Sothe, Jill, and Zihark Nolan starts falling off especially in hard mode.

Edward in normal mode is actually reasonable to use as he statistically speaking is better then the other Trueblades and you want as many good bodies in part 3 Dawn Brigade as you can get. The only reason Edward sucks on hard mode is his bases are just too low that unless he maintains his growths every single level up he just falls off forever and never can catch back up realistically speaking and no weapon triangle fucks him over the most in hard mode. This is why "Edward dodges axes with his face." is a factual statement in hard mode RD. The rest are pretty trash though, I have no idea what people see in Aran for example.

@Dang Woodchucks! I see what you mean. Sorry if I came off as a bit snippy, it's just mind-numbing to see his drones white knighting him and downplaying his shit outside of this place.

Oh, I forgot to mention, Lute has swordbreaker. I feel it was worth mentioning since breaker skills are pretty busted with their +50 avoid/hit. I had to restart the cutscene of chapter 5 and I think Joshua randomized into a priest.

I kinda wish I got a mage Eirika like you but at least I can get Valkyrie or mage knight. I didn't know that eyeballs could use dark magic though. I'm guessing you used a couple of skill scrolls since my Seth is the only unit with more than three.

You get 2 more skill one unpromoted level 15 or 10 I think and then another one when you promote

Is it random?

Seth just got a stance skill. I can't remember what it was called but it gave +6 defense. Joshua has dazzle which makes me want to use him. Lute and Natasha are pretty busted, I can see why you like monster units lol. I also got a berserk staff which Eirika can use.

I'm on Ephraim's chapter and it's looking pretty rough. Ephraim is an eyeball who has the durability of a real eyeball. Forde and Kyle are armor knights. Orson is largely unchanged.

It depend on the options you choose at the start but judging from the skills you got it seems you randomised the class skills and the personnal ones

I hate armor knights as much as I love eyeballs

Speaking of fandom lolcows MageKnight404 made a romhack where his self insert confesses his love to one of the characters.

As cringey as that is, this is a really old video of a really old romhack made in like 2007. I cut him a bit of slack especially since his acknowledged that his old hack was awkward in more ways than one.

I remember this one. His OC and his waifu Linoan replaced Hector and Lyn. But he never removed the Eliwood/Lyn support. So even though he made a hack where he falls in love with his waifu, you can make Eliwood love her instead and cuck him.

 

[Berrakh]

Mangs and Chaz. Never 'eard of 'em!

 

[JamusActimus]

The 2 biggest reserves of milk when it comes to romhacks are the last promise and the bliding bald.
The last promise is infamous for the voice acting,weird and tedious gameplay and the edgy self insert swordman.
The bliding bald is one of Mangs romhacks (one he requested from a team of loyal viewers)
You can play as most youtubers in the community there.
The supports between Mangs and Ryn/Chaz/Goose are quite ironic in hindsight if you want them I can give you transcripts.
The game is stupidly hard,tedious and criptic too btw

 

[AzuraAquafina]

If we're talking about lolcows, are there any 3H stans that count?

I find Edelgard stans and Dimitri stans to be the worse but I'm sure there are pretty autistic Claude stans and Rhea stans out there.

I have Blinding Bald downloaded but never bothered playing it since it seemed way to cringy to watch a bunch of e-celebs in a rom hack.

But yeah, I think I'd rather read a transcript than play the game if it's actually tedious.

I remember a lot of coordinated (as in people would sit around in discords talking) Edelgard theorycrafting (around the plot) to explain away all her flaws and try to make her come off as perfect back on the subreddit during the first few monhs, I'm not sure if that is still a thing. The main one I remember was people bending over backwards to explain that the mole people are purposefully trying to keep Edelgard and Byleth a part which is why the mole people frame Edelgard as looking bad so Byleth doesn't side with her. This theory was based off like 2 or 3 lines before chapter 10.

Dimitri stans from my experience are just people who "totally relate" because they have some vague ptsd/mental illness or because he makes good husbando material due to his image as a hot broken man that they can fix. Dimitri's crimes are a little easier to hand wave because Edelgard bad. Ghast made an autistic 80 minute long video essay about Dimitri that I did not bother watching but youtube keeps recommending it to me. Ghast simps hard for Dimitri from what I've seen.

Claude fans are boring from my experience, at most it is just typical diversity talk. You might find some really horny people, but that feels par for the course with stuff like this.

Rhea stans I've seen also bend over backwards to explain why Rhea did absolutely nothing wrong, it is 100% Edelgard's fault (even if you bring up things before Edelgard was born), and how we should be lucky that Rhea didn't kill literally everyone which means Rhea is a good person. So if Edelgard kills a bunch of people for her own reasons and beliefs it is bad, but Rhea killing literally everyone can somehow be justified and the fact she didn't makes her a good person.

Yeah, that sounds about right.

I imagine people still bend over backwards for Edel in r/Edelgard. Yes, that subreddit actually exist. I think I remember briefly coming across a giant Google doc that was over analyzing Edelgard as a character. They got really antsy over the translators, which I guess is worth noting that the worst kind of stans are the ones that get autistic over translation. I think the biggest bend over backwards I've seen is with Kostas.

Any time I see someone treat Dimitri or his route as some representation for mental illness or something like that a part of me dies a little. I played AM first and even I can tell you that route had some pretty spotty writing. Though I am a little curious if Ghast's video is anything autistic. Maybe I'll make a TL;DR.

I remember stumbling into r/Edelgard during the early days of reddit discussion around 3H, as much as I like Edelgard a good amount and respect her choice given the context she has, the absolute mental gymnastics to make Edelgard a dindu hero is irritating to say the least. As far as I remember the translation issue in Edelgard vs Dimitri's boss quote in the CF route is kind of spotty because it sounds too much like a "no u" sort of comeback from Edelgard which makes it somewhat laughable while the original tried to more thoroughly break down why Edelgard thinks Dimitri is wrong to keep fighting.

Yeah, I can imagine how irritating to see people fervently defending a character you like. I played CF again and even though I blamed the stanning on waifuism, I don't think the waifuism is nearly as bad as I remembered. I still don't like Edelgard that much, but then again, I tend to prefer characters like the Grado generals or the antagonist of Archanea than the 3H lords.

To go back to FE lolcows, are there any that are massive Kaga stans? For me, they tend to be a special kind of annoying when they act like FE4 is the pinnacle of literature or something. I mean, I like FE4, but it's hardly a masterpiece.

Chaz is the closest to a prolific one that I know and we know how that went. Chaz is such a kaga stan that he tried to argue that FE1 is one of the better Fire Emblems (because he wants to ignore how dated it is because "every game can be dated"), as in the original FE1 not Shadow Dragon he said this in some FE game tier list video he made with a bunch of other youtubers. I remember Chaz making other weird takes in this video, such as his very unusual hatred towards Sacred Stones, but I can't be fucked to watch it again. Most kaga stans I see are random redditors that show up usually to shit on people who like the 3DS and beyond games, and sometimes to shit on every game post FE5 for good measure.

As a brief return to the Mangs topic regarding his suicide baiting in his comeback video, according to Jake/CyanYoh (his former editor) Mangs was not baiting his suicide whatsoever. The only reason I bring this up is just for completeness reasons in case this topic ever returns to talking about him or various slap fights about him before I forget this.

"The rancid map design in Geneology is really good because there's lore in them." Is a fucking shit take, especially considering that only works on the playthrough you actually decide to pay attention to the story and lore of the game.

Made even worse by many members of the fanbase agreeing that Geneology conceptually has a good story but is watered down due to the intense limitations of the writing.

Yeah, Chaz is another basic bitch Kaga stan who will jump leaps and bounds to defend his takes. Fuck 'em.

I mean this is a man who wanted to put OG FE1 alongside where these people put the Tellius games, above Conquest, and every GBA game because "well it was cool like 25 years ago, you can say any game is dated so now nothing is dated anymore". He really likes to bat for Kaga and I remember some twitter post he made before he got cancelled where the only good FE story is FE4 and everything else sucks because "Have you guys ever read books?".
