Hi, Veilguard dev here. Your analysis of the """restructuring""" is pretty spot on. One small clarification: not doing DLC wasn't a game team decision, it was an executive or business decision. A lot of us were begging to do DLC and longer term support.

My sympathies for your situation. I'm not surprised at all. I've always been a proponent of post-launch game support. DLC and continued support is a great training ground for juniors and mid-levels to level up their skills on lower-stakes content and features and post-launch content has a notably less brutal delivery schedule. I thought it was a big gamble when Veilguard marketing announced that there wouldn't be any post-launch content. Clearly the choice did not pay off.

YO-KAI WATCH GUMMY HISTORY IN CASE YOU WEREN'T AWARE:

In September 2016, Bazooka Candy (Bazooka gum, Ring pop, Juicy drop, Baby bottle pop) partnered with Level-5 to produce regular and sour, 3.8 ounce gummy bags for the retail price of $1.50. “Bazooka Candy Brands has a long history of partnering with pop culture properties to bring customers fun in the form of edible entertainment" "The new YO-KAI WATCH gummies are the perfect combination of strong taste appeal and playfulness, and we are thrilled to be partnering with a brand that is on the verge of becoming a pop culture phenomenon.” -Elizabeth Mangold, Senior Brand Manager of Bazooka Candy. Source: FOOD&BEVERAGEMAGAZINE

"Inspirit your mouth with YO-KAI WATCH Gummies! Which one are you, sweet or sour?" -Official Yo-Kai Watch Facebook. All gummies were designed to look like in-universe Yokai. Which included: REGULAR: Jibanyan strawberry, Whisper blue raspberry, Komasan apple, and Robonyan cherry.

SOUR: Komasan sour strawberry, Jibanyan sour watermelon, Komajiro sour apple, Shogunyan sour blue raspberry.

VERY COMMON MISCONCEPTION: These were NOT Toys-R-Us exclusive. Most US stores did sell these, but with a limited stock, presumably due to how the franchise was preforming. Toys-R-Us was just the most common place to find them, due to the fact they were already pretty much in the gutter around when these came out (Released only 1 year before the store shutdown).

Hopefully if 4 sells well, maybe these could come back...

OMG, someone in my other group recognized it- the tiny house I posted earlier today wasn't a shed, it was a damned snack stand! (They removed all the videos, but there's still a couple on TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPR34SE7Y/) How can this possibly be a house?????

I just wanted to thank everyone that’s reached out over the past week - both publicly and privately - after my last post. 

I appreciate all of you taking the time to send a message or an ask, or to leave a comment on the post itself - all of your words were very insightful, and the conversations that resulted from them were, too. 

I’m not going to post all of the asks that I received, because many of the things people said to me were personal in nature. But if you DID send something, and would like me to post it, feel free to reach out and I can do so. 

So if you sent or said something, I did see it, I appreciate it, and I appreciate you - and my ask box and DMs remain open for continued conversation, if anyone else chooses. 

I hope everyone has a great rest of the week / weekend.

Short follow up on my previous post rambling about Rocky and the theme of water that surrounds him (Click here to see said previous post)

So to further prove my mad ramblings I direct your attention to the page Dithyramb from all the way back in volume 1 who's contents newer fans (*cough*Like me*cough*) may be familiar with from the pilot, which is Rocky talking about the Mississippi River

And we also have his bio art from the official website which has Rocky balancing on a moonshine barrel down a River, which I'd fairly guess is the Mississippi River (I know captain obvious here)

So that makes 5 examples so far of Rocky and his relationship with water, now to mentally prepare myself of the "What If" scenario that he drowns 😀👍(I will never be prepared)

A follow up to to this post about a concept I had about Chujin being reborn as a Vessel I call "Masky" from an AU of mine: https://www.tumblr.com/cringywhitedragon/740368930217033728/random-rambles-but-based-on-an-au-thingy-but-what?source=share

Note: that this is cannon to the AU (Which is a crossover with another series and the main Undertale game, UTY was only recently incorporated into the story and yes this bit is set post True Pacifist and follows some extended lore that simply all you need to know is that not every Monster was sealed Underground. In fact, a vast majority of them were not and simply went into hiding away from Humanity.)

Also sorry for for my mouse and audio being in the way. This is my first time screen recording using the Snip tool on my computer.

The pieces finally fall into place...

Ok, so you've been isekai'd to the dnd world and may or may not die due to the class you've been assigned. Better question. Are you human? (spinner wheel of all dnd5e species)

a big lesson for me was learning that most things are not as fragile as I’d believed. missing a class, or turning in a bad assignment, won’t instantly destroy your professor’s opinion of you. accidentally saying something harsh won’t make your friend want to end the friendship. it takes work to repair these things - it takes effort and research and sometimes a sincere apology - but you can do that because they’re not irreparably broken. what you’ve worked to build, in academia and in relationships and in life, is stronger and more enduring that your mind may teach you to believe. don’t let imagined fragility lead you to giving up

Everything is all right

Well, I’m happy to say that my daughter’s visit to the doctor today went well, and it’s nothing serious. The dizziness was caused by her inner ear. She also had high blood pressure, though once I heard her numbers, I think it is likely to be “white coat syndrome”. She got a prescription, but we won’t be able to fill it for a while. Once we got home, my husband called the pharmacy to ask how much…
