Dude spent $71k on rolls, and plays the game most of his waking hours. It seems like he made a ton of money in the stock market and now just lives the patrician NEET lifestyle.

if everyone who got rich just hosed off to lounge in whatever hedonism they preferred rather than actively making the world as terrible as possible in order to get even richer capitalism wouldn't be anywhere near as bad :v:

It's a pretty good example of how nobody actually needs that much money and that if you insist on having it, you'll then need something to waste it on.

I mean that's what most normal people who get rich do. The problem is capitalism rewards the largest sociopath with ever increasing amounts of money and power. So you most people drop off right after they realize they no longer need to work in order to maintain a life of comfort, and the only ones who proceed to get richer than that are weirdos.

Gilles and Lancelot from Zero are next on the list. They look like they’ll be pretty fun to play, too.

Only remaining Servant will be a Ruler, so I guess that’ll either be Amakusa Shirou or an OC villain like Attila. Pity there isn’t more Assassin representation in the expanded roster - they’re not a class naturally suited for musou-style games, but Hassan of the Hundred Faces could have had some really cool gameplay (and yes, I know what happened when he went up against an army in Zero).

hey look,
a post
I just played through f/sn for the first time. I liked it. I tend to be pretty "ehh" on stories that use a lot of folkloric or mythological characters in them, because usually they try to be big mythic stories that end up not feeling anything like actual mythology (I think a lot of this has to do with people thinking the monomyth structure is myth, despite it being bad). But this works for me since its a) its not trying to create a modern story that feels "mythic" or "folkloric" b) you can tell Nasu actually really gets these characters, he is just putting them through the filter of his world. Which is pretty interesting.

It has some really fun ideas. Like, it sees that the Epic of Gilgamesh basically has the prototype of a lot of bible stories in it, took that and said "this dude has an arsenal of weapons that are prototypes of later heroic weapons.

Now I'm playing hollow right now. My main take away so far is is the most evil thing Kotomine has done was not letting us experience what would have been the hottest team of Bazett and Lancer.

Anyway one of these things needs to introduce Cassandra as a Caster because the idea of her accurately predicting everything but never once being believed by her master would be pretty funny. But also just have her win somehow because god I feel sorry for Cassandra.

Welcome, friend. I'm actually a little jealous you were able to go straight to hollow ataraxia because I think at least for myself there was close to a 10 year gap between finishing FSN for the first time and actually getting to read FHA. Well worth the wait though because FHA was a ton of fun and in a lot of ways I think I prefer it to the original, mostly because I think the Fate series shines best when it's more comedic.

I wouldn't disagree. I mean there is some eye rolley bits but its a lot of good character stuff, and good character stuff is like the thing I care most about in stories.

Also anything with this much Taiga has to be a masterpiece.
