I'm not sure what I'm dreading more

All the c13 bosses and the associated managing of MP over the whole chapter or all the c14 bosses, inevitable deaths, and restarts at who-knows-where

I take comfort from at least knowing I beat Bizarro Seph pretty easily the first time through.

I surprisingly did ok with Odin once I got the hang of him. To the point I didn't massively struggle with the fight vs. him and Alexander together, though it did take me a couple of tries. I think I had the revival earrings on to take a Zantetsuken hit, but I'm not sure if I needed it.

In fact there's been a few fights now where I wore those and ended up not needing them when I eventually won (Dyne, Roche, Rufus).

Beat Rufus. I found it quite intense because it was more of a cagey, low offense fight. Eventually found my openings and beat him. Got a little ways into the temple too.

Myst

Probably because of that Riven remake they're making

I found the 1v1 fights in general quite unforgiving - I struggled with Dyne for instance

But Roche in Chapter 11 was surprisingly easy. Fire elemental on the armor helped.

I saw it in the cinema and I remember liking it but I was like 14

I hope A-Train, or somebody, doesn't make it.

4 seasons into a show where people are murdered virtually every episode and the entire main cast is still around sans Maeve

it's stretching disbelief that Homelander doesn't just kill everyone anyway at this point

OK, making solid progress.

Beat Chapter 11 and started 12. Haven't had many problems, Gi Nattak was a bit of a prick but that's all. I imagine Rufus is going to suuuuuuuck.

England have given me no indication in 30 years that they'll win when they have to, and thrashing Denmark tonight wouldn't have changed a damn thing about that

Wait people actually believe that now? It got memed so hard idiots started thinking it was real?

Believed what specifically?

England are through regardless with that result let's be honest. Obviously need to win to be top, that's fine.

Group performances don't matter as long as England top the group which they probably still will. I'd feel better if it was 6-0 or some shit obviously but it's fine

Portugal 2016, Argentina 2022, Spain 2010, Italy 2006, just off the top of my head. Get through and win when you need to.

They didn't want to commit to Kylo being the true big bad and that sucks

I wanted him to be irredeemable

True Story: Palpatine coming back wasnt inherently a mortal sin.

The problem was all in the execution/presentation of it.

After episode 8 it was

If it was planned from before ep 7 and executed better, sure

Oh yeah that threw me too

Weird

Yeah I'm planning on one last grinding session with the bees once hard mode is done to get any unmaxed mareria ready

and you still have the brutal and legendary challenges? all of them? what's your weekday/weekend playtime situation looking like

if you go for pure cheese strats on the challenges you can do it, if you try to do them authentically, well... not as sure, depending how much time you're working with!

Pure cheese all the way, as I have been for a while tbh. I used guides for G+G and Condor hard modes, for instance. I'm just grinding my way to the Plat at this point. I'm doing Hard mode fairly authentically but yeah not cheesing a 10-phase gauntlet, dying on the 10th phase and starting over seems a waste of my time

Up to chapter 9 hard mode.

I've got until July 1 to get all this stuff done, because I'm leaving the PS5 here over the summer.

The backgrounds there looked hand-drawn. Very pretty

Brothership ffs

(To be clear, my vote is just:

Time Crisis 3

The motherfucking was for emphasis)

Time MOTHERFUCKING Crisis 3

So Negan is totally a hallucination, right?

Not killing Homelander was fucking criminal in the s3 finale yes. Don't write that situation if the way out of it is going to be so fuckin stupid

Got party level 10!
Did chapter 4 hard mode. Roche took a couple of tries but ultimately was fine. I learned to stop being so conservative with MP because it was the end of the chapter and unleashed Firaga on him

Also have all the odd jobs done perfectly

The list

-Chapters 5-14 hard mode
-Brutal and legendary challenges
-Misc minigames to fill the Seaside Inn

Think that's it?

Topic

I can, yes, though there have been times it's been difficult

Yeah TLJ has pretty clear flaws but it's fuckin great overall

Both have messy third movies and good first ones, but TLJ rules and FK doesn't at all

Feed it into my fat face

If I don't brush teeth before leaving the house I feel absolutely vile. The one time I forgot in the last few years, I bought a bad toothbrush & toothpaste from a petrol station and did it in the bathroom at work

If I have breakfast at home, it's after.

I hate having no breakfast, but sometimes I have it at work (I have an emergency supply of porridge pots in the cupboard).

If I wake up in time to do the full routine, brushing teeth is last. I don't get why you'd compromise the taste

Purple

I love all 3, but find it really hard to pick one.

I lost my copy of 2 for years, so I think I'm inclined to go with that one because of the absence

Boy

Thank you! I just straight up didn't realise that carried over.

I felt like I knew everything about the game and that's a new one on me.

For about 6 months post-game, and then again after the dlc, I thought about Outer Wilds a lot

SeabassDebeste posted...

i was told that it could be beaten in 22 minutes or so once you know what you're doing. being unable to fly even in tutorial mode didn't feel particularly promising and there feels like there's a ton of content on the home planet. i have no idea what is or isn't a clue with the way information trickles out here talking to NPCs and trying to use my scope thing.

Outer Wilds legit took me 20, 25 hours to finish (admittedly I play slow)

Whoever told you it could be done in 22 minutes was massaging the truth at best.

Oh yeah I never mastered the RC ship and I think it made me anxious about piloting the real thing. There's a chance it genuinely delayed how long I took before becoming fully confident with the ship. I didn't love the ship controls, but I grew to appreciate them.

And the rest of the package is mind-blowing.

Everything in Outer Wilds is kind of purposeful.

Yeah I never found it aimless at any point. I picked a place, went there, and within a couple of hours had a series of tasks and things to build towards, places to go, etc.

That said, I got the meditate to next loop thing pretty early on B8's recommendation, and that made things much easier and smoother.

I remember thinking the second one was slightly too short for what it was trying to do, but I liked it

Venom horse fuckin ruled though, I love how that looked

Have you considered that maybe you're just bad at it? Gears and Gambits really isn't that hard, especially since the game gives you a number of presets you can use.

I never had time to be bad at it. Rejected immediately as bad and a youtube guide situation. I guess I am or would be bad at it, but I started it and I was just like "nope, fuckin done". Minigame burnout maybe.

Ifrit posted...

Haven't gotten to gears and gambits yet. But sit-ups weren't that bad. They were fun, even. As long as you turn off Trigger Effect Intensity.

Oh yeah. That was the big change for me

Oh yeah, Condor was bad, but I forgot how bad it was - I identified it as "bad" and copied a YT video move-for-move straight away, so it ended up being painless

Gears and Gambits I identified as bad, did the same thing, it didn't work at first, and that made it even worse

Sit ups weren't bad tbh. Gears and Gambits has been number one with a bullet so far. Absolutely vile. All the others are like, mostly fine, bearable at worst.

I liked piano once I raised the speed

Wow, I'm missing one Pirate Jetsam and this is the dumbest fucking thing ever

Aladdin?

Yeah I think it's the best way to balance Fandom's insane bullshit with allowing some discussion.

More just like, relaxing the rule for non-game social boards, I would say. For me personally I'd say the "Containment Topic" model could be the way forward for all of the non-CE social boards, like PotD etc.
