Whining about MORE THAN JUST ATELIER

I couldn't make a, uh, Sol Oriens, even with cheats. Even when I started with a pile of splinters, castile, and fertilizer. I ran out of time because even with all the restrictions on alchemy, you have to be somewhere near master level to even have more than a 0% chance at making a Sol Oriens. (I tried the cheat that gives everything 100% success and it didn't work.) Possibly this could speak to how much I suck at games, but I don't even know anymore. How to do you get a master level in alchemy and the best cauldron possible and have enough time to finish the game? It doesn't matter anymore because after making a couple items for fun I am done for a while.

Trying to switch gears, I got out my Summon Night guides, but since Summon Night the way we knew it is defunct and Summon Night 4 had a terrible storyline, I don't actually want to play. I looked at the Tales Channel and the news there is still about a Keroro RPG.

I don't go to the Tales Channel for Keroro, or idolm@ster, or any of Namco's other popular franchises. It's the Tales channel, and I want some fucking Tales news.

The only thing of note since the thing about the Tales festival is that Namco is letting people replace their horribly bugged copies of Tales of Graces with fixed versions. MY GOD, WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO? For shame.
