As a potential additional question, I guess, would those who are generally against mandatory posts be swayed if there were a larger variety of templates offered on site (some, or all of which with larger fonts)? At least in the case of readability issues, it can't end up being worse than the normal, where most templates have too-small fonts, anyway... I would think? I dunno.

more options to use would make it slightly better, but for me, honestly, it doesn't tend to make enough of a difference to entice me to be much more amenable than "begrudgingly tolerant to enduring it" just because like i said, to me it comes off as excessively micromanage-y on the staffing end and imo if i dislike all of the offered posting templates, it doesn't really matter whether there's 2 or 22. plus more options then gets into "well you have 5 options for post templates but everyone uses the one with tiny font and half the site uses bad colors for their dialogue and a fourth of them add in custom colors that are also hit or miss and mess with threads" and just... you're right back where you started, in a sense.

tl;dr it honestly doesn't make that much of an impact on my opinion, i'd still rather just deal with the bad templates and communicating with my partners if i need a template tweaked or serving as code support when someone's template breaks and they insist on fixing it instead of using a different one.

that was my other thought with mandatory templates-- that while yes, they may match the site in general aesthetic, which is really cool, unless you tell people you cannot change the colors there's going to be people who Don't Read and do it anyway. i know the obvious solution to that is coding the template colors into the skin's CSS itself so that people can't, but if you're allowing images to be put into the template there could be a clash there in colors... and then let's say you code it so it's all grayscale. someone may use an anime screencap image where if i had a nickle for every pixel i'd have a dollar. so it will still look weird.

i know the biggest thing is readability so you could just outright ban templates that require you to hover to read the post, but honestly i've been seeing less and less of those in use or being coded at all-- and honestly if the template doesn't go "oops i broke it again" if you zoom into 125% it should be okay. (i do that when i'm too lazy to go grab my glasses or put in my contacts.)

the tl;dr is that really there's... no perfect way to go about this because there's always going to be one way or another someone bungles something. i personally also think it's really micromanage-y to have specific posting templates, because inevitably something will happen anyway. but that's just me!

mine is a nickname i was given in college. it's stuck with some irl friends. it's cute. i now use it online. ta-da!

Next FE game I'm waiting to hear a song with Migos flow or country music or something Sweet Home Alabama for Genealogy remake confirmed

the snort cackle i made at this was so ugly. oh my god.

the slithers are just dropping the hottest dubstep tape of 2019... all of 3H's music is really good though. i love chasing daybreak and also

SPOILER: Click to show

the music that plays in the months after jeralt's death.

i was wondering how they'd top the new remix of twilight of the gods (i have nothing but praise for sov and it's... probably my second fave final battle theme now) and they have delivered on multiple levels.

need help deciding who to marry
doing my black eagles runs right now and :peperelax: i have no clue who
need suggestions on good s ranks

the game very much so is *wink wink* *nudge nudge* at byleth/edelgard regardless of what gender byleth is (given that edelgard can romance either one) and i will say that the end animated cutscene does come across as inherently romantic regardless of whether you romance her or not but that might be my enormous bias toward miss hresvelg. love this problematic fave. (she is also the only lord that likes cats as a teatime option, making her the most valid. i dont make the rules.)

dorothea's really fun if you're feeling wlw but not edelgard... from the guys i have heard hubert's is kind of unintentionally hilarious, ferdinand's is very romantic because of course (he's the resident himbo who chugs respect women juice for breakfast), and caspar's is really darling. linhardt is of course the only mlm option in the game if you're playing male byleth.

tl;dr they're all good but since they're my first house i realize i'm really biased.

so pegasus knights suck ass? god thank u both cyanide darktearz 💀 and shanimal i thought i was going crazy even though my friend who recommended the game to me said the same thing. i needed some other opinions :peperelax:. i always go wyvern rider now >>>>>>>> pegasus

tbh idk why ingrid sucks ass for me. anyone else used her?

it's not so much that they suck is that like most classes they're optimal for some characters and not others (e.g. you're not going to make lysithea a great knight. i mean like... you can, but why?) and pegasus knights/falcon knights have very few characters in this game that i'd actually recommend that path for.

as said previously petra makes a really good one, her speed is outmatched and if you give her a bow as a pegasus/falcon knight her range and crit rate is crazy. her strength is usually pretty good but i did have to feed her some stat boosting items. pegasus knights and falcon knights are good at dealing chip damage and then either flying away or having enough avo to then miss the attack. this isn't really a big deal if you're not playing on the harder difficulties where chip damage isn't really necessary. i've seen some say catherine makes a good falcon knight as well in lieu of a war master (since that class is genderlocked, rip)

i would still say ingrid makes a really good falcon knight but might need some stat boosting items to get her strength on par so she's not just doing chip damage (if you're not using her her as a chip-canto/chip-avo unit). going off-kilter for classes also patches characters up in spots where their stats might be lacking. for example even though i dunked on lysithea as a great knight i know some people recommend that if you have time to get her to pass the early armored knight certification because it gives her 4+ defense. unlike previous fire emblem games where stats are removed with class swaps that's not the case with 3H... so to patch a unit's stats you could just reclass endlessly so long as they can pass the exam.

i haven't played BL yet so i'm not sure what ingrid's got in terms of strengths or weaknesses or budding talents... but definitely check those out for other options! she is probably just mediocre because of the rng roll on her stats. i have seen so many people say bernadetta was a beast of a unit for them in BE but poor girl ended up an adjudicant more often than not on my playthrough because she just couldn't kill anything and didn't have the avo to survive as a chip damage unit.

when you figure out a cool photoshop thing and feel like you've gained a new superpower 😎

Leonie - another character I didn't like but her stats? Amazing. Great bow knight.

I think I got RNG screwed with Leonie in my first GD run because I've heard people say this but she was very average for a FE unit. orz

Meanwhile Mr. Let Me Paint You a Picture Bignatz kept getting crits everywhere lol

extra: why the FUCK do pegasus riders feel so weak? i can't get into the class at all with how bows are pretty good this game but i probably just suck lmao. just had a lot of people online be like 'INGRID IS OP AS A PEGASUS RIDER' but she was the shittiest unit in my team

I've only also played FE:A, Fates, and SoV to be fair, but my experiences with Pegasus Knights besides FE:A thanks Galeforce always have been meh, even when using them as mage killers. In 3H, I made my Byleth a peg knight for a run and just used them to lure enemies and hope I don't get hit due to the high avoid. Haven't gotten far enough with Ingrid yet but it's also possible you got stat screwed like I did with my Leonie 😢

i'm not done with my golden deer run yet so once i reclass him more often to boost his stats it could turn things around but ignatz is the one the rng screwed on my file, i think. leonie is doubling and getting kills left and right.

as for peg knights/falcon knights i had a lot of success with petra as one. granted i fed her some strength boosting stat items but she is speedy AND has a high likelihood of critting, so she was an offensive monster for me. i think given how good wyvern riders/wyvern lords are in 3H there's little reason to class someone into a peg knight/falcon knight unless you are also going for that high avo/magic resistance. here's petra doing some insane damage as a falcon knight. but i heard it's not uncommon for ingrid to get bonked real hard with the crappy stats stick.

granted 3H does not have dark fliers which is what made the pegasus class so busted in awakening, and it's probably for good reason because could you imagine dark flier lysithea. she would be absolutely game breaking. (i wish the pegasi classes weren't gender locked though. hubert has a counselor minigame note where he says he wishes to fly on a pegasus but is afraid of heights. get on the horse, severus snape.)
