When I play Fire Emblem games I like to play on the hardest difficulty settings and add self imposed rules on top of them. If nothing else is said, every strategical aspect of these playthroughs has been figured out by myself. I do not look up strategy guides and I don't really discuss strategy with other players (until I've played the game a lot anyway, I've only discussed strategy in Awakening and Conquest at the time of writing this). I do, however, look up stuff like growth rates, reinforcement data, etc. Furthermore, once I've "sufficiently" beaten a game (for Awakening this was after I beat L+ for the first time), I do watch streams and engage in minor strategy discussion. The games are ordered by their release dates, the entries under the games are ordered by perceived difficulty. The hardest one of these by far is my progress in Inexorable Onslaught, a super buff hack I'm working on for Awakening.

When talking about Fire Emblem, please restrict yourself to talking about Awakening, Fates, New Mystery, Sacred Stones, or Thracia. I still want to stay as spoiler free as possible with the others. If I'm playing Fire Emblem: No Backseating in any capacity. Don't suggest plays, including telling me how you would have played something after the fact. If I'm streaming the game I'm probably okay with very general strategy discussion. "I think this character is good." is a general statement. "If you use this specific build on these two characters then you can much more easily beat this part of this chapter." is not a general statement, even though it is strategical in nature (rather than tactical). If you're not sure if a statement is general or not, just don't say it. If I'm playing Slay the Spire: Backseating within reason is generally fine, and usual courtesy is expected. (Ie. "I think this is good because ..." rather than "Do this.") If I'm playing another game just assume I don't want any Backseating unless otherwise indicated. Why am I so anal about this? A lot of (the vocal part of) the internet communities around strategy games tend to communicate with each other a lot, sharing/looking up strats, etc. Playing a strategy game entirely by yourself is a LOT harder than relying on strats that other people have found already. This is true even for highly tactical games like Fire Emblem. And that's what I want to do. *I* want to figure out the game, that's what's fun for me. I also generally try to use the hardest settings, and not having strats is essentially a difficulty setting. So then why do I stream this? I mean, I'm mostly not. The only Fire Emblem game I've streamed as of my writing this is my Awakening No Staves/Veteran playthrough and most of my New Mystery Staffless run. The reason I streamed those were really hard and I wanted to have proof than I did them. I have since realized that I dislike streaming and the verification obsession doesn't do me any good so I don't really stream anymore. That probably makes this panel useless.

It's a little hard to say when I started reading VNs. My first was Clannad, which I started reading in 2013 and never finished but I'd say semiactively reading VNs started sometime in 2015. I have a [VN list](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19Oj3PxGJGo9amwFy8Mq6dmMFPnfKm3wrszNX6UZm1gU) which covers most of the interesting things regarding my opinions about VNs. Mind that this list contains which routes I've read, so technically it contains spoilers as to what routes exist if you consider that as such. If you don't want that you can check my [list on VNDB](https://vndb.org/u122022/list?c=all;v=0;t=-1;o=d;s=vote). My Favorite VN is Dies irae. My Favorite Heroine is Ria from Kin'iro Loveriche.

At this point more of a memory, Hendeca Corner was my first proper hard achievement in a videogame. It's a sequence of frame perfect and 2-frame window inputs. It is in certain ways a big part of my legacy within in the I wanna be the guy community.
