    Magical, magical money-laundering. They probably have a lot of friends in the Caribbean and Panama.

    And runes that wipe your memory if you're not authorized to look at them or something.

    O walls, you have held up so much tedious graffiti that I am amazed you have not already collapsed in ruin.

What do they put even down on their tax returns? Even if they faked a business, wouldn't they get found out eventually? Do they just have their own separate economy? Does the Mage's Association have its own stock market?

    ...I think we need a spin-off about magus financial consultants.
    Starring mere accountants tasked with fogging up the money flow, working in an office and dreaming of a more hands-on gas leak coverup career. And the Church also has them and they're like a cool fraternity with secret handshakes who make fun of the CT accountants for being dweebs.

    A nice humble name.

    At least Edelfelt is a Swedo-Finnish name.

    Apparently Luvia is a town in Finland, which puts Luviagelita somewhere in the vicinity of Yggdmillennia as far as I see it.

    I hate that they don't really give much acknowledgement to how big deal Melty is as a fighting game.

    Seriously. It has no right to be as popular as it is. Last patch was ~five years ago and it's still very much alive and at every anime tourney. Capcom wishes its games had this much staying power. The only possible explanation is that it's genuinely a fantastic fighting game that is very fun to play.

    They could at least give frenchbread some cash to add something, like finish eclipse moons, I don't know. If not for that ridiculous manga that has to use fate or nobody would read it, they completely ignore that it exists.

    I think they all bought the Steam version and then abandoned it because too much lag or something

    Also on the topic of Melty Blood i remember reading something about how piracy killed the sales of the old versions.

    Could be misremembering shit though.
