I played it 3 times for the platinum, not with magic build but with the Mimic Tear Summon (though I got it about 50 hours in or so). I hate the constant FromSoftware fanboying that people are not allowed to play a game if it is not blindfolded and only on Saturday or else you suck. I liked playing it that way.

I really liked the game and think with Malenia it has the best super boss I have ever fought - except for Sephiroth in KH. My problem with it is - and I have that problem with many open world games - it is open world just for the sake of it. It has some background lore with the demi gods, the deathroot, etc. but no actual story. Many of the things you do is just repetitive stuff. Tears of the Kingdom and its prequel has the same problem. Whenever I did something for the story in Tears of the Kingdom it was fantastic. But the rest was so-so. Open world games should design their world both visually and task-wise very original. Tears could have given you ancient ruins of old dungeons as optional dungeons or old relics, so items fro old Zelda games or places where you would find the other Links' spirits who tell you the old stories of the other Zeldas or teach you something.

Sadly many open world games are just there and liked for "big world, can do many things."

Have you played Elden Ring?

OK no but seriously one day you have to fill me in on what the hell the James Hornby is gay thing was about because even after 10 years I occasionally wonder and it sounds very funny. I have a series of PMs from Psychotic around 2012 that were mysterious and I never cared enough to ask what the hell it was all about and maybe it's related

YOU WERE HERE!

I'm glad to be out the actual city. I'm a country bumpkin, and the city did me no good.

Meh, not super travelly anymore. Emigrated to Canada, and planning to get a house in a few years, but probably in New Brunswick or somewhere out east that way. I do want to do a vacay to Cuba, though, but TBC.

I always forget Maryland exists lol. East coast represent!

BUT WHO IS GABBY

Just reading out old usernotes. I have no recollection of a Gabby at Monkey Jane's in Yangshuo.

I did end up going back another year. Monkey Jane's was meh, but a new place had opened up called Bad Panda, and I smurfing ended my life there. I drank their entire menu. Christ.

I live mostly in EoFF lol

But geographically I've been in the Toronto area for the past 4 years and likely for the next 4!

How's glorious life been treating you?

Just here to say hi to my forever favorite EoFF friend

I know how good Double Ichimonji can be but I was always too lazy to learn the timing and it is too punishing if you mess up. I think Floating Passage is the best move by far because it costs 0, is fast, therefore builds pressure and even deals chip damage that when used often enough with its speed adds up considerably. And Dragon Flash even won me the final phase of the Betrayal Route easily. They are almost broken really.

For the bell I cannot help you, sorry. I only used it for drops and all that.
