  • I originally had it on, I think, a medium or normal difficulty. It was a while ago.

    Like I said, though, it wasn’t that it was easy. I liked the modular difficulty system a lot! The game just felt like a checklist. Pokémon gives you a mechanic (like the HMs of old or modern rideable Pokémon, or the bikes), and you really could play with them for quite some time exploring and experimenting. The only parts of Coromon I felt had that was the item finding app thing and the raft thing. The rest were just “get it, move on, never use it again.”

    I will give it that if your only goal is to have a battle with your friends game, Coromon is amazing! But if you want to enjoy the world, maybe not.

    Still worth trying for anyone who likes Pokémon for the mechanics.



  • Caleb, the ghost, was killed by his brother Phillip, the guy getting scared. His wife informed him that if he was happy, he wouldn’t be able to stay, so instead, he is haunting his killer as a vengeful spirit. But humorously, it is depicted as a bland and boring job.

    Oddly enough, this kind of contradicts everything we’ve seen about ghosts so far in these comics. For example, Luz’s dad watching over her. That or Evelyn (the wife) is just wrong in what she told Caleb.





  • Question: Is Stringbean actively flying in front of a person in the human realm??? Luz is NOT paying with snails. Those are dollar bills. Also, if I remember correctly, Azura is a human realm franchise where some leaked into the demon realm, so Azura merch like that wand would be more likely in the human realm.

    So either Stringbean is causing Luz to need to do a LOT of explaining, OR - and this is a fun one - could that hand belong to one of Luz’s friends who already know and are taking advantage? I could see Hunter doing this to convert snails to dollars lol. Buy something Luz wants using snails and sell it to her in dollars


  • You know, this explains some stuff. Namely, why the guard can be so ineffective. If their final task is to kill one another, Hunger Games style, then you would expect the “best of the best” to be quick to turn on one another for their own safety rather than assisting one another. Even explains why that one guard who found Vee preferred to just let her go for their own safety instead of following directions. That is how they are trained!

    Also, as a side note: that also helps explain how Belos went through SO MANY golden guards. You have to assume a good amount failed that test.








  • My pointless head cannon: Aang the Bloodbender

    Aang was good at picking up waterbending from just watching, even if not enough to be a master easily he could still do it. Aang totally picked up bloodbending, or at least thought he did. The idea is not hard to get to once you’ve seen the premise, and Aang both saw and felt the premise in the fight with the puppet master (blanking on her name).

    So why doesn’t Aang seem to use it or even know it? Katara. Aang knows Katara wants the practice to end with her so he never tries it, never practices it, never even acknowledges it when he can avoid it.

    But I would be surprised if there wasn’t at least one moment, one fraction of a second, where Aang didn’t look at the full moon and think, “I could. I won’t, but I totally could.”

    Let me be my own critic here and point out the obvious: Bloodbending is a seriously advanced technique that takes a good amount of prior knowledge even for a master waterbender like Katara. Aang doesn’t have this prior knowledge. Also there are some techniques Aang just doesn’t bother with, like the swampbender’s plant bending, so he could have just ignored bloodbending.

    But come on! The Avatar saw and understood arguably one of the strongest bending powers and CHOOSE to not use it out of respect for those around him? That sounds so perfect!


  • This is really an off my chest moment but when I was in my teens I went out with my aunt and she pulled this. I felt terrible for making the staff do extra work just so she could have fresher and warmer fries. I get it isn’t a big deal to make an extra batch, but what if two people pull this? Five? Ten? More?
