the link they linked us if you're wondering

it's just so good and casual and they look so *happy* to be them

well @sharkNserg linked us a picture and now i'm thinking a lot about being two-headed, four-armed, and three-legged;;;;;;;;;

why must the only good electrically-insulating thermal conductors be the horribly toxic beryllium oxide and the incredibly expensive literally-diamond

@SwooshyCueb woah, they're doing physical keyboards again?

someone remind me to make some #felthrysvgmselection posts later about the Trails games, because these have *really good* music

here, for a preview, here are the specific ones i want to make a post about:
Cry for Your Eternity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tn7eKu4WNKk
Looking up at the Sky: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqAzKJIr5aQ
Masquerade of Lies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfJruaNzMaE

@sharkNserg gendermon

what exactly does it mean for something to positively lock something in place as opposed to just locking it in place normally

you would not believe how hard it is to find this information on the internet
-F

i still think The Legend of Heroes is a terrible name for a series

it sounds like a garbage exploitative mobile game, not an excellent rpg with an enthralling story and interesting mechanics

-F

(those recommendations being, incidentally, for the Liberl arc:
- The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky
- The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC
- The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 3rd

and the Crossbell arc:
- The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero
- The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure

The latter two will get official english translations next year and the following year, but the fan translation is a) extremely good and b) by the same people now doing the official one)
-F

it has just the right combination of interesting magic worldbuilding and political maneuvering that it reminds us very much of everything we liked about Suikoden 1 and 2

i cannot recommend this series enough, at least the Liberl and Crossbell arcs (we've not played the Erebonia arc yet, and the Calvard arc hasn't come out yet but has been announced)

@holly@fedi.lotor.tech also we've been slowly accumulating actual copies of soundtracks we pirated in the past
-F

@holly@fedi.lotor.tech see also: the way our video game collection exploded in size after we got a job
-F

we've not been around much lately because holy fuck the trails games are good

i don't think we did anything yesterday other than play through the end of trails to azure
-F

@sharkNserg you're a good person who does good stream stuff!

i haven't been watching a lot lately because we tend to only watch streams of games we've finished, or the rare situation of a game we have no intention of finishing but think would be enjoyable to watch--and most of your stream lately has been games we've barely heard of, let alone played!

but we'll definitely be back when you stream berseria or boktai or final fantasy 9 (all ones i think you said you planned to)
-F

@kobi_lacroix It does weird neat stuff when that happens though

Čerenkov radiation in particular is Neat, it's the light equivalent of a sonic boom
-F

@terrana That's a good term for it.
-F

also getting the impression that he might also be a sex worker as a side job? Not sure about that, but he'd definitely be in a setting where that's a reputable occupation
-F

I'm thinking... (hyper?)busty masc-enby hyena taur? For some reason I'm thinking he either is or wants to be a restauranteur--he's not a great cook (better than he thinks though) but has a passion for good food and wants to share that with others
