Reddit does weird things with redirecting image links that could cause problems with hotlinking unless you download the image and host it elsewhere, and really it's nicer to link anyways.

Also...

Tricky.
I can definitely see the argument for keeping the Works home universe a relatively unopinionated Nasuverse world, because that's the vanilla premise. At the same time, it's interesting to...

Huh. I suppose Frid has to worry about weird supernatural effects from the island. Reasonable. He's definitely having somewhat more trouble than normal. I suppose searching for a summoning circle...

They have many good options there. Will be interesting to see if Soujuurou ends up being a Servant, since it seems... rather against the point of his character, but not impossible I guess. Typical...

Ah, we're in newest continuity and skipping concerns about what year it is, then. I was internally ruling that out when doing date-comparisons, since that one takes place in 2021-22. Certainly seems...

Huh, I haven't read Kagetsu Tohya, so I missed Seo-san, though she's kind of just there to explain encountering Wednesday. Ten years puts us near Fate/Zero, though there are lots of other...

Yeaaah, I wrote that thinking "wait, the DOA tournament sounds like it's recorded/widely publicized. Maybe the tengu only show up after the public parts?", which could have been true for DOA 2, but...

Oh, no part of that is advice about how to try viewing a link without browser cache (or without intermediate caches at all, which isn't always possible; CDNs are under no obligation to respect...

Huh, you'd think if Zack is funding the entire thing personally, it's not DOATEC's fortunes at stake? I would have expected more oversight if he was relying on company resources. Though admittedly a...

In retrospect, I think the Clock Tower coming for you might be one of the reasons Phantasmals aren't obviously running around as well. There is some precedent for Mystery of a specific Phantasmal...

I read Mahou Tsukai No Yoru, I feel fairly confident that having Phantasmals running around is allowed, though they're very rare.
Since the rules of the world largely obey the expectations of...

I don't remember that being spelled out (especially re: Barbie. Suddenly things make more sense), but I may just be forgetting you mentioning it as you were planning the pivot.

Ah, mildly...

Oh god, they have retcons in a 3DS game. Well, at least the purpose of the plot in Dimensions is to try and elaborate on what was missing from the originals and make things overall more coherent, so...

Repetitive Strain/Stress Injury, it's the general term for things like carpal tunnel syndrome. You've mentioned it a few times throughout the years, it's a pretty obvious cause for "health issues...

Does help a bit with the "how familiar is everyone" question. It's kind of useful to get "your" perspective on how clear the plot of various games was; it's usually kind of a background consideration...

You have a bit of messed-up formatting at the very first bit of your disclaimer text.

Interesting to see an external perspective on what Space Ishtar is. You kind of take her for granted in Saber...

Not really at all, for me. I've heard of it, and I'll usually skim information about the wider plot for context when I feel like I'm missing something.
I can infer we're in DOA Xtreme 3, meaning...

Minor formatting glitch, there's a "remembered" pretty early. I've never seen the word "gamine" before, but always nice to learn something new.

Good balance between newer and reused elements. So...

Well, that certainly answers the hint we got about fighting games. I missed it by virtue of it not exactly being a fighting game, but it's famous-enough I should have considered it, and tends to...

Fun update. Actually a fair bit happening there during the time-skip, with Erik presumably engaging in those distraction fights, and Wiel eventually working it out, I guess. The poor Legion of Coal...

I think there's some merit in keeping the old thread for historical purposes. I'm actually a bit surprised to learn you could delete it outright, though obviously it won't serve too much narrative...

You were using something for those "waking up after getting thrown out of the universe" quotes... dammit. That was either Soul Reaver 2 or Demon's Souls, depending on the quote, so I'm way off. Well,...

Having not yet watched The Eminence in Shadow, but heard a fair bit about it, I'm under the impression that "taking the plot seriously" would be difficult, though probably not entirely futile.
I...

I feel like I may enable the "fun, not good" ideas a bit XD

You don't elaborate a lot on what makes an idea good, but I presume it's defined by mitigating the flaws that make a fun idea not good....

Masks definitely looks like it's just an idea to justify a grab-bag of Charms from different places, and that might (mechanically) be as simple as picking 4-5 different families of charms, and...
