Fire Emblem: Three Houses is a tactical RPG released in 2019 for the Switch. It was developed by Intelligent Systems and Koei Tecmo and published by Nintendo. Three Houses was the first Fire Emblem game to return to consoles after a twelve year gap being on handheld systems. The Fire Emblem series began in 1990 and currently spans 16 mainline games.
Three Houses takes place on the continent of Fódlan, with the main story being centered around Garreg Mach Monastery. Garreg Mach serves as both the home of the Church of Seiros and an officer's academy which the main character, Byleth, becomes a professor at. At the beginning of the game you choose to teach one of the school's houses (Black Eagles, Golden Deer, Blue Lions), each of which align with one of the major powers in Fódlan (Adrestian Empire, Leicester Alliance, Holy Kingdom of Fargaerghus). Though initially at peace, conflict begins to erupt between the Empires and a struggle for power emerges. Throughout the game time is spent between combat and life around the academy.
Combat is typical for a TRPG - turn based combat over a grid with limited moves each unit can make per turn. Each house starts with a certain number of students, but you can recruit other students / instructors and use them in combat over time. Characters can also be customized as you need by upgrading to various classes and equipping battalions for unique attacks. Each map has environmental and human made hazards that benefit some unit types, while leaving others at a disadvantage.
The other half of the game is a mix of social simm, activities around Garreg Mach, doing side quests, and training Byleth. Spending time with characters through different activities unlocks quests that give more backstory to the world of Fódlan and the interpersonal relationships characters have with one another. There's also end game romance options that include some queer characters!
I think Three Houses is an excellent game and worth playing. The twists in the story are interesting, so I'm leaving the plot vague! Byleth can also be male or female, which is nice. Also, Black Eagles is the best house.

Wish her campaign was a bit longer. I would have liked getting closure on the eradication of the slither slither folks. Maybe even fighting the nobility to implement the reforms
Same, I had literally just gotten done telling my brother how excited I was to take down the Slithering faction in part three when the credits started rolling lol
I felt ever so slightly bittersweet at the ending even though I thought it was the best ending of a game I've played for a while.
I malded when I played the deer dweebs and got to actually destroy the slither nerds in an epic showdown.
why is job searching advice always like "simply have connections lol"? oh is it bc everywhere nepotism hires? :thinking-about-it:
Got hit by a car this morning on my scooter. I had the crosswalk light, but he was turning right on red and looking left for oncoming traffic. Fortunately he was moving slow and I'm fine, but mfer made it all the way through the intersection with my scooter underneath, fully ran over it. The shop said it'd cost more to replace than repair, and it looks like he's gonna pay for it, but still, sad to see it go.
Thank you for your service, little scooter. :07:
Some Liverpool fans booed the moment of silence for the queen.
Too many stayed silent though, full support to the hecklers
i don't get how people still haven't realized that moments of silence don't work in a fucking stadium. why did they stop doing the "minute of applause" thing which worked much, much better? obviously i'm glad that in this case they were too knuckle headed to do the smart thing but still.
Reject perception of your physical self, return to amorphous blob
Just noticed that I left my car unlocked last night. Someone opened it, popped the trunk, and must have been extremely disappointed to find out that all I have in there is a tent, a forty pound bag of dog food, and about a zillion fast food reciepts.
They did take my Bluetooth speaker though, and that hurts :bawllin-sad:
Better to log off and be thought a fool than to stay online and remove all doubt.
Fair enough.
But I'm scared to plug into o/s. Call me paranoid but at bedtime I'm very scared to plug into CronenbergLinux.
Breath of the Wild 2: Tears of the Kingdom was announced in the Nintendo Direct. Nintendo to cut the announcement of BotW from their UK stream out of sensitivity for the queen's passing :data-laughing:
Omg, that must be why they were weird about having the direct LOL

Got a friend trash-talking the IRA because "it's an ethnic nationalist movement" which makes it equivalent to all other racist movements in their mind.
One of those Western "leftists" who keeps identifying with a different niche extinct left-wing ideology they read about each month. One who thinks America sucks, but at least we're better than the rest of the world.
So yes. Lib.
Yeah, I know one of those too. Decided they were an anarchocommunist a few years back and hasn't read any theory. They're a good friend, I just avoid talking politics that go beyond the surface level.
Mine has read the bread book, but has also decided that that's all the theory they need to have very important opinions on America's overseas military adventures (the old ones were bad, but all the current ones are actually good!)
Hm mine has only read part of the bread book, but they're anti-america in general, so that's a tie.
It's all "everything that isn't my utopia is morally undefendable" , until it's against Russia, China w/e. They defend the EU & NATO adamantly (ofc, they have no fucking clue what they're talking about, but it's all going by their vibes on morality at the time)
One who thinks America sucks, but at least we’re better than the rest of the world.
that'd have me pulling my hairs out lmao
going to my happy place where nothing can hurt me. That’s right, I’m disassociating at my local sports bar again
I tend not to get wrapped up in arguments because it's pointless and debates never change anyone's mind. There's always something better you could be doing even if it's simple praxis out on the street.
i mean, it depends. people have def changed my mind after an argument/debate/discussion. obviously it's somewhat rare and i do consider myself a pretty open minded person, but it's possible. it's also not instantaneous generally. but yeah, if it's an online discussion and you're getting worked up over it it's def better to just leave it. not like you're gonna get much out of it anyway.
