Is there even higher education in magic in that series, or do you just graduate from high school and well, I guess a few years of learning the arcane arts is all there is

twitch channels in which the 'streamer' is a 3d anime girl

i watched a clip from one while browsing subnautica clips and the vtuber had giant boobs with ridiculously exaggerated physics and the voice of a little girl. so, y'know, real normal stuff for extremely well-adjusted people.
there's some okay ones, though I can generally only stand them in clip form, not actually watch their streams. I like the dog girl vtuber, Inugami Korone.

I love this one because it's her playing one of the most miserable games I've ever played in my life, NES Dragon's Lair, and just blissfully singing random poo poo while she plays through the microwave hallway of retro video games

These vtuber clips can be pretty funny, but I'm sort of in two minds about it. I can't decide if it's a way for the actor who controls the vtuber to express themselves in a weird goofy way behind a veil of anonymity... or its like the idol industry and yet another method by corporations to market parasocial relationships.

Dungeon of the Endless decision on how to end levels was just baffling and the fact it took me a minute or two to figure out how to even leave a floor is hilarious, especially when I later did the tutorial and it doesn't teach you there either.

Daemon X Machina finished and what a bizzare set of game design decisions. I changed my mech's parts twice over the entire game, one of those two times immediately after the first mission because the parts you get are flat upgrades. The game has five ranks of missions but I never got any new weapons after the second to last rank of missions and my main weapons never changed after the 3rd rank of missions. Respecing is just "lose all your money you invested, no take backs" which is great because one of the upgrades I bought made controling my mech impossible so I had to lose all my progress.

The game is astonishingly easy and then the final boss is a brick wall of HP and cheating your auto-aim to mess with you. To win was not difficult, when I saw how you could break its AI, but it still resulted in me holding the fire button and gently moving in a circle so I wouldn't waste any bullets because if you run out of ammo in a mission rip you, buddy.

Edit: Daemon X Machina having two names for the pilot, and the one in the title not being the one it uses for 90%+ of the game is stupid. Not as dumb as the ice cream mechanic which I literally stopped clicking on after using it the first time because its a waste of time.

DxM has the old armored core issue of there being dozens of cool weapons and armor pieces but they are all garbage compared to a couple of basic rifles and a generic medium mech

Oddly enough? A deckbuilder.

Your deck is filled with cards you get either from learning through your class professor (you get those for free when you reach the appropriate level), spell cards you learn from other professors (you use some training points for this that you get at certain points, idk how often they divvy them out), and cards provided by your equipment.

I'm a life mage and the leprechaun spell does a good amount of damage and is my main damage source right now. I try with the fire elf but because I'm not a fire mage, my accuracy with fire cards is stuck at 75% for now while my damaging life elemental spells are 90%. I picked up fire magic mainly because life stuff gives me a bunch of healing as well as healing over time and multi-heal while the fire stuff provides damage over time so I feel like it kinda balances out. I can spend turns attacking the enemy while I have a regen effect going or spend turns healing myself and my allies while my enemies burn to ash.

In which, DxM or Armored Core? Cause I just beat DxM and the end game items all seemed to be either a strict downgrade from what I was using or a cool edge case but Im open to tooling around with the coop multiplayer

I also know this anethema to this genre for whatever reason but there should be camera lock in these games because probably half the time fighting certain bosses was just waiting for their AI to decide its dash would now, finally, be on cool down for no rhyme or reason so I could actually keep them centered on screen to shoot them.

In summary: I wish Stardust Paradox had a home console port because that has been the best mech arena combat game Ive played.

Fun fact, if you buy ice cream like 30 times you unlock the secret factory which has all the cool boss weapons.
