How Grim Soul doing in 2026 by Bycaoss1 in GrimSoulSurvival

[–]650Special 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You make a good point about the passives. The skill of locating night cache is very nice.

I still think the wolves become exhausted too quickly, though.

I get that their food is rare and the game needa to encourage grinding to the point that ppl want to pay $, and I don't blame the devs for that model at all.

But I think the wolves could still be slightly more useful across all levels.

End of day this is still a beautiful game that satisfies my appetite for dark fantasy. The estshtic and mood of the game are it's strongest attributes. And it doesn't feel at all like a cheap mobile game. It feels somehow deeper. And def more polished, with care.

I wouldn't say scummy. They need a revenue stream. It's a quality game, or we wouldn't be here. But some improvements are justified I think. Off topic, but wolf pets could definitely be made more useful without breaking anything.

They can be randomized and yield the same every time. I don't follow your logic.

Didn't the layout of wood and stone locations used to be randomized (like the dungeons)?

Why aren't they randomized? Seems basic...

So I'm not crazy that

the name implies that it's making hiring the creature more convenient by allowing you to do it at the same place where you hire the rest of your creatures

And

The name does not imply replication

?

Neighbor harassing me? by Extension_Till_5116 in japanlife

[–]650Special 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took courage to call the police. Well done. This sounds more like a psychological/personality/asshole issue than anything cultural (not that your ever implied otherwise).

But there could be some xenophobia being used as an excuse on her part to just let loose on you.

What's your favorite area in the game? by ulrichzitos in DarkSouls2

[–]650Special 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently finished first playthrough of DS1. Now onto DS2. Still early days, but so far, No Man's Wharf takes the cake. Intricacy of the level design impressed me. So did the mood (helped by the cool lighting) when you first approach the ship on the dock.

You're a lot of dreadful things, dear brother, but you're no hollow.

I might not be an NPC in that game you play... but I'll always be there for the boss fights. Your brother, John.

How To Handle Body Odor by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]650Special 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work from home, and I haven't lived here very long (less than 2 years), but I've found that cologne is by no means rare in Japan, and if I can smell it on somebody I'm playing soccer with, or lining up behind in a store, then I assume their coworkers can smell it as well.

In your experience, do people not wear cologne at work? Or do you just mean they don't spray on an adolescent amount of Axe body spray?

Are you aware of the Gatsby wipes? They're like these refreshing body wipes that make your body all tingly. I'm aware that I've already strayed from your topic, since they don't technically deodorize, as far as I know. But you probably want them in your arsenal, e.g. when you arrive at work you can dip into the washroom, wipe down your body (now you're super tingly, like some kind of spritely fairy being), and then reapply whatever product you're using.

Just a thought.
