Ahh, console video games (or vidcons as I call them). the ultimate medium of expression, able to convey any emotion ranging from hatred to love, loyalty to fear, all in front of our eyes. Ah, and with lovingly crafted art, music, and the ability to control the action, vidcons are the ultimate combination of the high arts. While I tend to play the stoic, I will be the first to admit that vidcons haven driven me to cry, to scream and shout, to feel actual hate; such is the power of this force beyond our wildest reckoning. And here I am, before you, to temp your tongues with the taint of such a tantalizing topic.
And the Japanese, the true geniuses behind the world of video games. Pah, I throw my scorn upon such incompetents of the West who would mock the true art of the Japanese with 'games' such as Baldur's Gate and Madden. Perhaps it is that the West is not as intelligent as the East, but this is a matter for another day. Japan has given us such masterpieces as the Final Fantasy series, Star Ocean, Wild Arms, and of course, Arc the Lad. Yes, some of the finest vidcons in the world were created by Japanese. I come to you today to ask you in all earnesty, what is your favorite vidcon? I will reveal mine after the grand debate has illustriously begun, but not before the first poster falls victim to my plot of discussion.
In other words, this is a thread on an imaginary forum our avatars frequent. The topic can fluctuate, and its mostly just general discussion.

Ohh-kay.......
...you know what, I might actually have something interesting for you! I'll get back to you soon.
Edit: package inbound!
It's a "waste bin" full of metal scraps that got left over from various manufacturing steps in EV factories, as well as incorrectly machined parts or parts that got created and then scrapped. The "waste bin" part is in quotation marks because you need to solve a nontrivial puzzle to open the bin

I love it. Like a treasure chest for solving a puzzle! I wonder if I could use some of this as Relic Remains… anyway, cool puzzle. Reminds me of a Hexanexus a little.

Yes, my black and broken heart still remembers the curve of her lips the softness of her smile. I must have her back; I hear calling out, “Viego, save me!”
little tidbit. That’s Gwen when she was still a doll.

[1] Happens to all of us. Sorry for your loss. Was it recent?
[2] Glad you enjoyed it! Honestly, I could see you enjoy leftover scraps from 3D prints.
Though if you don't mind me asking for some clarification...
- What are relic remains?
- Who's Hexaneus?
The Lady of House Solari
It was many, many, years ago. But I still search for her, to free her from death.

1. Relic Remains are, well, what they say on the tin: The remains of salvaged relics, used to craft new ones. Pretty much just scrap material, but the Omni-Synthesizer does wonders.
2. A Hexanexus isn't a person but an object, more specifically a type of cube-shaped puzzle on the Luofu that some guys invented and gave me Stellar Jades and Strale for solving

They couldve just given you a 4x4 or 6x6 rubix cube and saved some money and time by not having to do any of that magic crap that was probably used in making the damn thing. I know I would
This is for what you did to me last year
Albedo
They're mechanical. Might've been a few Pathstriders involved, but nothing else.

x4 Just a Rubik's cube? Come on, that would've been tasteless! And inaccessible to most people, I don't think I could come up with a solving algorithm for my 4x4 all by myself.
I usually don't like to point fingers, but have you been at the pub this evening?
Also, I don't think Walker would be comfortable having the avatar that he currently has due to his PTSD, unless he can't see it in-universe. Maybe a shot from the intro cutscene would fit better, where he walks around in his (?) apartment?
Also Stelle, you don't happen to have a Hexaneus to spare, how tough are they? I'd like to give one a shot, if you don't mind.

As long as everything goes well, it'll be fine!
Ohh, isn't April 27th the day of the death of the Spanish voyager Ferdinand Magellan? Like, he's unfortunately killed by tribal locals there.
It is said the leader of a local tribe didn't like the idea of following the religion of the Europeans there. Magellan himself was wounded with a "bamboo" spear, which eventually left him to be beaten up to death.
Cynthia's New Kimono!
Finally, Marnie and I are gonna get to watch Dune Part 2 in theaters. Though my hands are freaking hurting so much. I think I was sleeping in the wrong position last night. How is everyone's morning going so far?

A photo of Stelle standing next to a floating object that looks like a green and gold… meteor? It’s not quite clear what the object is at a glance, but it’s almost the size of Stelle herself.
They’re…. not exactly portable.

Woah, blazin'! It's Rambo, he's definitely a fearless soldier since he's been in war several times.
Farm decoration? Lol that's a good one! Scarecrow does have a lot fearful things up his sleeve, mehehe!
Haha don't spoiler that game Dawg! I always wanted to see John Rambo team up with Dutch Schaefer!
