Back To MSQ! (5.1) | Grinding Gear Reacts to Shadowbringers MSQ

[@lyconxero457]

Just as an FYI, not only was in mentioned that Moon created the White Auracite way back when but in 5.0 when you first encounter Urianger in Il Mheg he SPECIFICALLY STATES right after showing you the White Auracite that the reason he resided there was because he required an aether-rich environment to craft it.

[@evrfreez]

F'lhaminn is hilarious.. her whole backstory is as this realm-famous singer, and she's clearly Thancred's boyhood crush too. She's Lady Gaga's age. But instead of keeping on her sexy, glamorous lifestyle, she went IMMEDIATE GRANDMA MODE upon adopting Minfilia. She wears old-lady robes and spectacles I bet she doesn't even need. So as much as Kyle seeing her as an old lady at her age makes me laugh, it's just proof that she succeeded in her transformation.

[@starofaetherius]

To be honest she would probably by thrilled to have every single scion consider her to be a matronly figure. Shes super mom

[@Deuzen_FIN]

She's also gone through a lot, so it makes sense she might feel older than her years.

[@lyconxero457]

Just one small correction: She's not Thancred's "boyhood crush" as they are basically the same age. There's a pretty famous 1.0 cutscene where you get to see both her and Thancred and they are clearly in the same age range. He did (and likely still does) have a thing for her as you could see him trying to flirt in the Rising Stones but she's seemingly not overly interested.

[@evrfreez]

@@lyconxero457 True, he's only 5 years younger than her. Though that can make a difference, in the teens.

[@carbxncle]

7:05 he's not a bad guy at all; he's one of the Riol ones.

[@KyrialArthian]

My mind is officially blown at F'lhaminn being only 37 years old. I always figured her to be late-50s or early-60s... and instead she's THE SAME AGE AS ME! x_x 28:57 I agree. Doing it at a slow pace like you guys do, making sure to experience everything even with the limited time you have available... it adds to the narrative. It's almost like it was for those of us who did the content as it came out, then had to wait for months in between patches. It makes it more like you're living the adventure yourself, in a way.

[@cparle87]

2:30 The idiom has been used in the MSQ before, I'm surprised Kyle didn't spot it. When Emet went to talk to the Exarch while we were in Amh Araeng the second time he remarks he's never seen the Exarch "retire to his chambers for so much as forty winks." 7:11 "Discount Thancred." You're not wrong. Whenver Thancred's not doing sneaky rogue businss Riol does it. 30:12 Now we've got HIM doing it. It's contagious.

[@FF-tp7qs]

In Australia there's a mattress store franchise called 40 Winks

[@MoreOre563]

Funny that, I just bought a new mattress from there recently

[@OriginalMiqote]

​@Akio it was fate.

[@adjwindu70]

20:48 I missed this joke during my playthrough. She called them tempered by the WoL. 😆

[@anotherkenlon]

G'raha and Alisae's crush on the WoL is getting really obvious by this point in Shadowbringers, and there's no way that Best Snarkcat would pass that up.

[@vaidenkelsier7757]

Kyle with the Event Horizon reference, deep cut right there :D

[@adjwindu70]

15:17 now they are trying to figure out what a silver fox's gender is. Between 40 winks and silver foxes, both dudes have more to learn.

[@ShiroNekoDen]

Ok you guys should know this already, but g'raha and krile are part of a sharlayan faction called the students of baldesian. Krile being a senior member and g'raha being a freshman member (g'raha is the first student of baldesian we meet at the crystal tower raid story) krile is introduced later iirc.

[@HarrisonScottHisoandso]

Krile was introduced in Heavensward at idylshire

[@RadicalRaspberry2]

9:16 Yes! my joke made it into the clips/highlights

[@simonmcglynn9332]

Garret: I hate the Nu Mou, they ruined the best role quest. Oh he's gonna be pissed when he outs

[@pereralonso]

I HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT OF FLHAMINN AS A GRANNY TOO hahahaha

[@EternaltheGrey]

Having spent most of my time looking for a more subtle RDM look, I sometimes forget how ridiculously over the top the stock gear is. Uncle Sharon's fashion sense definitely carries over... most of the time.

[@adjwindu70]

Wow. Never heard the saying "getting 40 winks"?

[@deanospimoniful]

Kyle is a very special guy.

[@tommyspringfield7687]

right

[@rajabuta]

I'm not even american and I know that saying xD

[@flipnskater]

Kyle lives in an alternate reality

[@meilaolsen2212]

Me: Kyle is bring up a good point about the 40 winks Garrett: WHAT!? Me:...... maybe it wasnt a good point.... ;3;

[@Ower8x]

I can find the wod fo5.1 on either the main ore stream cahnnel anyone has a link?

[@KironX1]

Are the full VODs for this coming out somewhere? I don’t see this or any of the new raid stuff anywhere or does it just come out later?

[@GrindingGearClips]

There is a playlist with all the old streams unlisted in the main channel, this is the VOD for this specific stream. kzbin.infoKWwY3-gNuYU?feature=share

[@evrfreez]

Huh, where is the full VOD for this? I can't find it on the main channel (or anywhere)...

[@HopeYourDoingOkay]

Having the same issue...

[@GrindingGearClips]

There is a playlist in the main channel with all the unlisted (otherwise algorythm ain't happy) streams This specific one is here kzbin.infoKWwY3-gNuYU?feature=share

[@HopeYourDoingOkay]

Appreciate it.

[@costadinover]

I thought 40 Winks was a Ps1 game.

[@kiosfriend]

Garrett hates nu mou? based...for reasons. ;)

[@markup6394]

3:12 --- Right... Imma look up those "40 winks" ... Its an old idiom... and it still doesnt make any sense... just like any other idiom ^^° 4:42 --- I think I read something something that miqotes dont get very old... so being 37, F'lamin might as well be 40 or 50 as a human (granted, thats not old either...) ... But maybe I remember that wrong, so go ask an expert :D

[@laerwen]

Miqo'tes age much like humans, so 37 is pretty much 37 lol.

[@KerrikkiLurgan]

She was just married, when her husband died trying to save Minfilia. She adopted Minfilia after that, as Minfilia's father died in the same event. That death is something Thancred regrets as he was too unskilled to prevent it

[@ShiroNekoDen]

Yay
