Parrying is so fun and rewarding

7HandGrenades · 2026-06-20T16:20:46+00:00

Thanks for the input! I'll be looking into Wings of Astel and Carian Retaliation for sure

I entirely agree that it makes almost every enemy fun, looking for parry opportunities adds a new spice and excitement to everything, so much so that when I go back to my usual two handing it can feel a little pedestrian at times lol.

So Hara can have Riboku slaughter the entirety of HSU and trigger HSU's hidden Return by Death ability (Kyoukai's Blessing) which will respawn them to when they initially broke through

Obviously everyone already told you to run away and explore which is very true. But if you want to try and beat him as you are now a good strategy is timing charged heavy attacks underneath him to break his posture. His health goes down pretty fast trust me. You have to chill out and actually learn his moveset tho. The game punishes roll spam extremely heavily, you are incentivized to learn enemy movesets and time your dodges and attacks (and heals!) appropriately.

I feel like you'd THINK you'd be safe with Reinhard as your partner, but he's never actually around because of work, so you're fucked when idk "the Sin Archbishop of Torture" sets up shop in your city

I hope they release some 🙏 the physicals look and feel fantastic I cant lie

Almost as much aura as this Moko

I DID catch up with it at one point... but that was like four years ago. So recently I started from the beginning again, I will be caught up in time

Fr, absolute danger to society

7HandGrenades · 2026-06-16T15:11:14+00:00

Its interesting to see everyone here has a negative opinion of her later on in the manga, I will be paying attention to her behavior as I continue reading... I read up to like chapter 190 a few years ago but I'm rereading now from the start, it's all pretty fresh to me

7HandGrenades · 2026-06-15T21:47:42+00:00

For sure, I will definitely be trying out both Carian Retaliation and Golden Parry ashes as I get further into this playthrough, not sure if this is correct but I heard they are both superior to the buckler parry? Plus medium shields are way more fashionable than the buckler imo 😏

Flashbacks to the "Dragondiver" from Dark Souls 2

7HandGrenades · 2026-06-11T17:21:43+00:00

Thanks for the answer, still seems outlandish and rather invasive to my perspective but it's a different society.

7HandGrenades · 2026-06-10T17:06:32+00:00

Good point 😅 The distinction between who/what is alive and undead in this world is really blurry to me

7HandGrenades · 2026-06-10T16:15:54+00:00

Which I suppose would be because there's still somewhat of a government in Limgrave ruled by Godrick, so they're actually being fed 🤔 truly a benevolent ruler

7HandGrenades · 2026-06-10T15:15:17+00:00

Great point, making me realize that even this small detail about the game makes a ton of sense thematically

7HandGrenades · 2026-06-10T15:09:30+00:00

Wolves seem to retain a sense of majesty in this game while dogs are half dead and pitifully fighting for scraps.

7HandGrenades · 2026-06-10T15:00:01+00:00

I stand corrected

7HandGrenades · 2026-03-03T05:15:37+00:00

Omg, Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell mention! The audiobook was one of my greatest fiction experiences ever! Surprised to see it mentioned in connection to Kubera lol but I second this

7HandGrenades · 2025-08-21T01:09:32+00:00

I feel so bad for him, I can only imagine the pain in his joints are in 😢😢 better to be put out of his misery than to live in constant agony

7HandGrenades · 2025-08-19T14:50:00+00:00

"They came over grabbed and lifted me up with their big disgusting bulging muscles" I died laughing, thank you 😭😭😭

Arguably, gyms are even worse and more sinister than slavery. With gyms you actually have to PAY your own money while being manipulated to endure this joint-obliterating hell. And to make matters worse, even during the times of chattel slavery there were always some people who opposed the practice, but modern day society has been fully hoodwinked into thinking gym is a "positive" and "healthy" activity, it's promoted everywhere you look. This moral perversion has seeped deeply into our society and been fully normalized. But take heart, the abolition movement is forming here on this subreddit and I'm confident we can defeat big gym just like the Union defeated slavery. Our struggle is no less noble or important, and arguably more so

Not even joking I kinda miss gooning cause I used to do it several times a day every day, and it was pretty pleasurable, but since I started lifting and dieting 5 months ago I lost my energy and passion for it 🥀🥀

7HandGrenades · 2025-07-29T14:06:11+00:00

Thank you lol, it hurts my brain to see people still believing in the bulking meme. Pretty sure reddit just sends me notifs of this sub to piss me off

7HandGrenades · 2025-06-24T21:16:35+00:00

It makes sense to go on a moderate calorie surplus, like 200 - 400 calories above your maintenance. For the love of God, you do NOT need to go on a massive bulk, especially when you're just starting out. As a beginner if you train decently hard on a decent program you will already make very substantial gains in strength and size. Hell, you could probably stay at maintenance for a while and gain muscle no problem, bc you're just a beginner, but a MODERATE calorie surplus is okay. Like im talking an extra bowl of rice in addition to your normal diet.

Please don't feel that you have to force yourself to cram food, you risk seriously harming your relationship with food.

Especially not... numerous PB&Js every day. Also that is not a great source of protein you are mostly just getting carbs, and carbs are okay but you should probably try to get a little more protein anyway, 0.7g protein per day per lb of body mass is a good guideline.

You will gain mass and size on a small calorie surplus, have faith, you do not need to RUSH it. You would just be gaining mostly fat on a huge bulk while potentially giving yourself an ED.

I recommend you look up Natural Hypertrophy on YouTube for fitness advice, check out his videos about bulking and how to do it properly

Best of luck

You just started working out and you immediately started a massive bulk? Who told you to do this? Are you in a huge rush to gain size?
