The Phoenixian

It is on my wishlist. It did not make tomorrow's $66 budget however.
Full game, yes... Demo, no. http://www.cross-code.com/en/start

So, I just came across an interesting, early access indie Action RPG: CrossCode. And now I'm going to gush a bit about it.
Looking around shows that it seems to be moderately well known, but I was immediately struck by the sheer level of polish in it, one beating many published games and which I've only seen matched among early access games by Factorio and AM2R.
It's not finished, and lasts about 15-20 hours so far but what's done is very well done.
To begin with you start as Lea, a character who is not so much "stuck" in an MMO, as traveling through it in order to recover her memories. And likewise not so much a "heroic mime" as fully able to put more personality and expression into three words than many characters get with a full vocabularies. Rather than being the player avatar, she stands as her own character, and one who both has a distinct personality and is very easy to engage with as a character.
As far as actual gameplay goes, the combat system is quite well polished, even with numerous powerups still saying "not implemented yet", and only gets better as one progresses towards unlocking its elemental variants. It feels like a proper branching path, with the option to either make a balanced build, or aim for specialization.
Setting wise the game itself does a very good job on selling the idea that the world is a popular MMO, Players run to and fro along thoroughfares, guilds and frustrated players hand ask for favors just as do NPCs, and folks you meet early on can be seen in the background progressing alongside you. (From both party members and rivals, to even simple running gags such as the girl who inexplicably sits on tables when there are chairs instead.)
The music is good, and the art can only be described as "gorgeous".
Lastly, I would be remiss not to mention the ice floors, which don't take up much of the game, but are notable in that sliding on ice + twirly dodge mechanics + fire element = flaming ballerina.

Noah thinks he can knight people.  Humans with high magic are royalty on the flip side of the world which would make him a prince, and therefore able to knight some one.  We don't know where Noah came from.  That makes it possible that he is from the griffin's side of the world.
 

And now a word from our sponsor!
 

Whether 'tis nobler in mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous capsaicin, or to take arms against a sea of tabasco and by opposing end it!

Even though I disagree strongly, I respect the courage Dan has shown here.
I was raised to believe that those who claimed to prefer "mild" seasoning were culinary wimps.  I may have been wrong about that broad generalization.
But I still contend that those in the highest levels of the food service business have done a disservice to their customers by not including Spicy AND Sweet as a standard option.

I'm with Dan here: Not everyone cares about what gender they are, but for those who do care? Show them the respect they deserve.

Let's compromise and agree that EVERYONE is related to Susan and Diane somehow. They could be descendants of Raven's father's family, the blonde mistress AKA their real mother could be Noriko's cousin or something and one of Noah's parents could have been related to Susan and Diane's father, which would make them related to Noah too.
There. Now everyone's happy. [/sarcasm]

There may also be technical reasons why he can't possess just anyone. Not to speak about fact he may not want to possess a woman because he has that strong gender identity.
I think this is basically the plan he is implementing, it's just that "converting as much wealth as possible" takes time. He might also be using multiple attorneys to reduce risk or stuff like that.
My guess is that he turned off the browser, then turn it back on 14 hours later and browser resend the post.
While storing HDD with encrypted bitcoins at lawyer has some advantages, the alternative way of locking the cash somewhere and store the key with an attorney without saying them WHERE the stuff is locked was already possible hundreds of years ago. (Before that, you generally didn't bothered with key and just bury it somewhere, but that's harder today.)
The spell is presumably "in action" all the time, to keep the vampire alive.
 

If there must be a Tetris film trilogy, it should be these guys who get to make it. Otherwise what's the point.

Nanase casually putting her arm around Ellen. (Very daaaw)
Ellen likewise quietly V5ing herself a few pages later.

If there is one thing I learnt from RPGs, it is that monsters and animals, including insects, carry money and weapons by the truckload.

how do you know she isn't?
How do you know she hasn't read the entire internet already?
I mean, if your bored enough, have enough free time, can warp reality, and don't need to do things like eat or sleep, you could power through a LOT of stuff pretty fast.

Or perhaps it will be all of them at once: Bieber playing the lead role in a Twilight play while secretly plotting to kill the audience who are actually angered vampires!
Everyone will be so busy celebrating the demise of the lead and show to defend themselves against the true sinister plot!

No no, it's likely far worse: He plans to stage a live original play of Twilight. The actors themselves are not vampires, but the outrage and need to defend their honor will attract many.

Well, all the aberrations we've seen were wearing clothes that fit them reasonably well. Spidey's had some serious custom tailoring (which he may have done himself, but then he'd still have to acquire fabric, thread, buttons, and preferably a sewing machine and a reasonably-secure work space). They may prefer to not live outside in the rain and cold. They may need to eat ordinary food to maintain their bodies, more often than would be satisfied by their need to drain victims of life-force. Most probably need to travel every so often to avoid attracting too much attention. They may have ambitions beyond living a really long time - Sirleck for example.
Money would be useful.
However, if I were an aberration and learned that someone was trying to draw a lot of aberrations to Moperville, I'd be careful to stay well away from that city. Preferably on another continent. Because the expected consequence of a concentration of aberrations is a concentrated aberration-hunt.

This is not good. Sirleck plans to arrange a Justin Bieber concert in Moperville.

Glaistig reminds me of a horrible character from a spoof game a friend of mine once ran. We were deliberately trying to come up with broken concepts. So he invented Dead Dennis. Dead Dennis was unkillable due to already being dead and had all the powers of every single dead superbeing. He could of course use all of them at the same time without limitations.
He did not work well in teams. His first line was always 'Interesting powers you guys have.'
