In case you can't tell by my latest avatar change, I did pre-order Fire Emblem Engage. (Right now, I'm pretending to be Clanne, one of the first characters from the game, mainly because I liked his simple character style compared to Alear's blue-and-red color scheme.) However, since I waited up until a few weeks ago to change my mailing speed from "wait two weeks and get a measly $1 code for something digital from Amazon" to "ship it whenever", my copy won't arrive until a few days after the game comes out tomorrow. This means that I won't be at ground zero for the conversation (read: petty Internet arguments) about the game. And you know what? That's just fine. I don't really care whether or not the story or characters from Engage will supplant those from Three Houses in my brain palace, for that was a unique experience I'm glad the FE team isn't trying to replicate. We could all use something a bit lighter and/or softer (comparatively), anyway.

(Update: Wait a minute...it looks like my copy will arrive today. Huzzah!)

The Amazon App Store drives me nuts sometimes - no, all the time.

Trying to find quality apps and games while searching through my Fire tablet is like searching for something to read at a library, but a few of the books have pages missing and several more are copies of more famous works...handwritten entirely in pencil and full of typos. I can't tell you how many times I've had to navigate around someone trying to sell a knockoff of Among Us, Five Nights at Freddy's, or Friday Night Funkin' just to find any kind of game to play, even if the most reliable of them are of the free-to-play variety. You'd be lucky if any of these knockoff apps had a unique name to them instead of something like "Funkin' Among Friday Dance Spooky Game LOL" (not an actual example, but it wouldn't surprise me if something like that did show up).

The only part of the site that seems to have any quality control applied to it is the Movies & TV section, as it's hard to fake being the place to find Netflix, Hulu, Pluto, or any of the hundreds of apps provided by the big-name TV producers.
