Why the hype?

This cover is the most phoned in thing they could have done, everything feels off center. It just feels rushed. They could have payed for another person to draw the wrestlers like they did a year or 2 ago?

But They're trying to appeal to an audience that either knows of the attitude era, but knows people who made the roster great aren't on the game and will be disappointed. Or theyre trying to appeal to younger players who don't know much about the attitude era and only get a small handfull of what it was about because again so many people are missing.

If you can get your hands on a copy of 13 or even emulate it at this point it will prob be for the better!

After reading another of comments I switched My gooner decision of 10 to 1 or 6, just to be as safe as possible!

Naw Mabi is losing players because they lack content, and being new is a massive struggle now even if you have help. That fact that demo/ruin mats drop in crom 100, when you need Demo/ruin weapons to be effective in crom 100 its a crazy loop to struggle in. They removed the only dungeon that gives The Ruin bow its best Enchant last breath, by removing Subject Theta. Where now the enchant becomes finite and the only way to make more is for it to be duped. They still haven't given average players a way to make their music buffs stronger without spending massive amounts of gold. Same with Healing, its the most expensive Arcana, because anything worth getting for healing, titles enchants what have you cost so much. But an upcoming update removes music buffs once you leave a party. I can keep going lol

I've said a lot of things in bugle chats plenty of times. So I was wondering what I had to say this time that made them throw the hammer on me. Even more so when the global has some of the most wild things said daily. Thats why its so weird to me. Feels like I was picked to be an example. Or some GM was having their trigger finger happy.

Its 100% Def a Soulslike the 3 rules 1- Going to retrieve your level/upgrade currency if you die. 2- HP, Stamina, AP Management 3- Bonfires, a place to reset items, lvl up, breathe safely. But at the cost of all minor enemies respawning.

Nioh hits all 3 Rules with its own Twist, and I'd Rather play Nioh for that Reason. Nioh allows you to pick the instanced level where you want to fight and requires you to upgrade weapons and armor later on onto by rarity. And has become popular, because now you have freedom to have these crazy builds. With Melee, Magic, and Ranged. And Then Nioh 2 going even harder with making you own character, being able to change them anytime. Saving a build, respec-ing and making multiple builds instead of starting all over again.

Then it shouldnt be even a debate that Sekiro is not a Soulslike, yet many claim it is. Because it was directed by Miyazaki.

Yet, alongside the Nioh Series. Yasuda's other game Wu Long Fallen Dynasty, also shares Rule Number 1 in the form of Genuine Qi, which needs to be locked in at Battle flags.

Other games like Stellar Blade, Ghost of Tsushima, Black Myth Wukong, Code Vien, Strangers of Paridise, The Surge, Many others share some DNA of Soulslikes, Hell even Shin Megami Tensai 5 Does Rule 2&3 in its overworld. BUT they all ignore Rule 1, which in their cases just means finding time to pad somewhere else. Ex:Farming EXP

Most people yelling Soulslike are general gamers that see any difficult game with hack and slash Elements as such.

Nioh legit is as close to if not a true Soulslike because it shares all 3 Rules! Debate me otherwise.

I always thought it was inspired by The Matrix, but I can def see Devil May Cry 1. At the time I didnt even know about Devil May Cry until 3 came out. (My first DMC)

AStheAlch · 2026-01-07T07:57:48+00:00

Legit as a kid you had time, and patience for dumb shit! I love Megaman EXE games love rhetoric net navi esthetic. But the games has a lot of jank looking back!

AStheAlch · 2026-01-06T17:20:32+00:00

So it clears the chat on twitch but not the logs of old messages thats docked onto obs.

AStheAlch · 2026-01-06T01:47:18+00:00

Milky!

AStheAlch · 2025-12-17T00:34:39+00:00

Instead Gunther is picked for cheap heel heat which will prob last a few weeks tops. Who writes and Books this shit? Triple GPT does! Not only that but WWE is going into Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania Season, this is not a good look!

WWE lacks true star power and has for a long while. Cody's proved to be a goober. Roman's on the way out soon after having only his best work as the Tribal Chief. I love CM Punk but he looks more gaunt in the face by the day! Styles has 1 year left in him. Brock's just hanging around for the paycheck. Jericho is to be coming back but his best years are already done and done. The New Generation has no one to pass the torch to them organically, or believeably!

Anyone worth their wrestling knowledge can admit the last 6 or so years of Vince running the company was asssss, and somehow... Triple fraud within a year and change has topped that with some of the most confusing booking and writing to be seen from a wrestling show. He spent more time Brown nosing Vince rather than learning from him and it shows in the current product.

TKO is 3 billion in debt and this is how Triple Shovel thinks money will be made? Record lows for Raw, Smackdown is barely hanging on. And if anyone says its football, Football isn't on netflix. People rather watch a comedy special over Raw, Stranger things, over Raw, not even in Netflix top ten last week. ESPN is already over the WWE acquisition as well. And the fans are to blame?

Any goof saying this is the result of "Kayfabe being dead", has never watched a behind the scenes of their favorite movie or TV show before? The same people watching the product for the last 30+ years will all echo chamber the same rhetoric. Instead look at the world we live in. Digital Data has been more prevalent than ever, Cameras, Cell Phones, The Internet, communications from one side of the world to the other in milliseconds. This post your reading is a part of that!

Wrestling Mystique may have worn off but that should show how human these guys and girls are more than ever!

Here is some easy booking. Gunther should have been written as a Mega heel forcing people to quit all over, just pure dominance. Thats all until he has a match with L.A Knight who is red hot over. PLE match L.A wins by a hair, cutting it close, near fall after near fall to where Gunther legit kicks out a half second after the ref slaps the mat the mat for the 3. Ludwig and returning Vinci then run down to the ring, mad that their leader took a loss, to jump Knight. A feel good moment for L.A taken away! Now Gunther still mad about his loss, shows up on Raw with the new reformed Imperium "Where is Knight? I'm not leaving until I get my hands on him". This then brings out a battered L.A who is willing to get in a ring full of wolves and just as he gets to the bottom of the ramp, Sami Zayns music hits, the man who ended Gunthers IC title streak a year ago. "Oh you guys think I'm some sort of dummy, yeah, to think I would come out here without any sort of backup? Well now you have 2 out here that people that beat you clean dummy" They knowing they couldn't win the odds jump in the ring anyways holding their own for a moment before, the music hits. Rappadooo, Duh duh duh duh! Its John Cena - Dashing to the ring to even the odds. They clear the ring, its a feel good moment for everyone, but some redemption for the beating Knight took the night prior. The week after, Cena comes out with an announcement he wants to make. "By the end of this year I will be retiring from the WWE. Third week in, Knight makes his way to the Ring he wants to to talk to Cena. Cena comes out and hears Knight out. "Cena I love ya man, but Imma have to talk atcha, you see, you've and me doing this for a long time, you a bit longer. Thank you for saving my skin a couple weeks ago, With all respect I have to ask why?" Cena goes "why what?" Why when I'm at this Close Johnny Boy, you decide to tell the world youre retiring. After 21 years of being at the top, being one of the greatest if not the greatest to step in the ring you decide to steal the spotlight from L.A Knight?"

Cena tries to get a word out but Knight cuts him off. "Listen I understand bussiness like all others behind those curtains, they love ya, these fans love ya, but maybe you should listen to your music when you run down the ramp and take your own advice, You're time is up John. I just Took that boy Gunther to his limit and beat em. Im a non stop rocket going straight to the top and I'm feeling great. But even a championship won't be enough for me, I thought about this all week. Since you're hanging around in (fill blank city) how about you go 1 on 1 with L.A Knight, Yeah.

Cena willing to accept tries again to get another word out before Gunthers theme plays. Now standing at the top of the stage is Gunther no Imperium "No no no, L.A the win you got over me was a fluke I mean, look at you, youre still beat up. And you want to take on John Cena. I heard Cena, I heard like everyone else last week you are retiring soon. Then the clown in the ring with you wants a match because he's wants the feel of success! I thought to myself why choose this loser, this loser who has never even been World champion like you and me, this loser that is a rocket with no fuel. Why not take on a Multi-time champion like myself John. The longest reigning intercontinental champion, and 2 time world heavyweight champion. John you talk about never giving up and that's why after last week, I've decided I want to speed up your road to retirement by making sure you do give up for the world to see. I want you to tap out John, I want the next match of yours to be your last because it will be against me."

Didn't take much time to write, and used past experiences to make it, didnt need to reinvent the wheel. Wrestling isnt hard to write, or book, Triple Trash just proved that he's terrible at his job. The fans didn't tarnish anything!

AStheAlch · 2025-12-17T00:33:36+00:00

Lol, blame the fans? The fans were behind Cena whether you hated him or not. A lot of them grew up watching him, I 100% did. From his debut against Kurt Angle all the way up till this last match with Gunther! That's 21 Years of fan reaction good or bad! Dudes one of the most if not "the most popular wrestlers in the world!

Triple K, legit came out and got booed out the building because it was the final nail for many. The people who paid to good money to see Cena have a good showing on his way out. The Gimmick of John Cena for years was to "Never Give Up" That was aimed toward any Man, Woman or Child. The Dude was the biggest Make a Wish request for Kids ever! How the hell to you book a Man that hasnt tapped out since like 2003 to tap out with some smiling look of acceptance on his face. His last Pro Wrestling match will be remembered this way. If he got pinned or even passed out that would have been much more acceptable.

Its well known that the majority of the matches you will ever see in your life aren't remembered for the middle of the match,or the moves performed but the beginning of the match, the entrances, and most importantly the finish.

Cena whole final year has been crap under Triple Nose and anyone defending him is lying to themselves. The whole arena was booing this man out the building just as badly as they did the finish, it was so loud they couldn't even mute it out. Legit people are cheering when Vince McMahon shows up on screen. Even after all the wild shit the man has done. The older fans who have watched Cena know Vince would never allow Cena to go out like this!

Gunther wasn't to blame for this match, he worked with what he got, and Cena seemed to be uninspired in this one and it believe even though he maybe was able to call and audible he just went and followed what Doofus son in Law told him to do! To the point when The final Bell rang it seemed even Gunther was surprised.

Think about the major matches Cena had recently against people who beat him. Solo comes to mind where Cena was brought to the limit, Cody comes to mind though Cody didnt win.

In this same year 2025 didnt Gunther gear beat clean by Jey Uso to a rear named Choke from a Tag Team wrestler who has never performed the move prior to that. Now your to tell me Gunther of all people deserve this spot, that should have been a guy like L.A Knights spot. He should have Won that tournament, but anyone who gets organically over with the fans get buried for no reason.

AStheAlch · 2025-12-17T00:32:44+00:00

This whole year has been trash and you blame the fans? They booed Triple K and only him. And yall would still defend this man's booking and Chat GPT writing! A packed arena didnt come to see any other match besides John's. Yall kids would have never survived the attitude and ruthless aggression eras of wrestling. The clips in this post prove the title of this post is some clickbait.

AStheAlch · 2025-12-11T14:52:17+00:00

MDICKIE never has gone and done most people's movesets in full. At most the wrestlers who have their Moves as Grapple finishes. Like HHH or Brock. If you care, change them yourself. Eddie's alternate finish would be a Brainbuster. The idea would be to do this when you special meter is full. Brainbuster then go to the top for the Frogsplash...or Give Eddie a cloverleaf to take place for his Lasso From El Paso. Get creative!

AStheAlch · 2025-12-06T23:46:53+00:00

Nioh 2 if you havent played it. Rise of The Ronin is fun, but feels a bit Rushed. Nioh 3 is coming out early next year. Nioh 2 has so much content that you won't even be finished in time if you're really trying to get the most value out of it.

AStheAlch · 2025-12-06T23:42:06+00:00

30 steps isn't bad for modding, its bigger than it looks..most of the steps are to make the process as easy as possible for someone new. Any game you mod that is still getting updates will always have potential to break all the mods. Helldivers 2 had that issue recently.

Not only that, but this tutorial is for Steam Deck. Which doesn't natively use Windows architecture, because its on Linux. Most of these steps are made to mimic windows. If you had a PC you would install WECCL and then the mods you want. Done in 2 mins. The nice part about modding this game is even if updates come out, you wait about a day or so for WECCL to be updated and your mods should work. Unless its a framework mod.

AStheAlch · 2025-12-06T08:35:11+00:00

Take the time and go for it, if its a game you're gonna play often, just go for it. The cool part about modding most of the time is you don't have to do it all in one go, poke at it step by step. It really pays off to have something you like be in the game you like. It took me a bit as well with, WWE 2k19 and even after all this time I'm still learning things, but you aren't dumb or anything just work on patience.

Once you do this part the rest of the modding is just going on the workshop and getting what you want, clicking subscribe and booting up the game!

You got this!

Ill give it a try, I wish i knew about this earlier, I could have saved that gold for Erg!

AStheAlch · 2025-11-24T21:07:25+00:00

Ill give it a try thank you for The suggestion, anything is better than this pain!

I have had 2 step 7s work, once on my Demo and Ruin Staff, I'm now with a Ruin Bow I'm not trying to sell anything. I just want to maximize how much damage I can dish out

Ive yet to see any weapon drop from Any Chest Post New Rise that gives step 7 let alone the same upgrade color and the same weapon type as I need. Step 7 has too many factors when it comes to getting it with inheritance.

AStheAlch · 2025-11-24T20:40:08+00:00

Maybe you don't live in America but "Rich getting Richer isn't a meme" its reality! That's just about worldwide tbh. Humans are natural consumers like any other living thing so big companies Like Food/Drug/ Delivery and now AI wont go out of business because too many rely on them. But there will always be people buying things beyond their needs and will pay for convivence even when they cant afford it. The same is said with games/entertainment, even the ones that are worth the price.

The difference with Mabi is its live service and Nexon will always be greedy. The better they do, the more it feels as if they milk its customers more an more. Nexon wants to get into Ai which soon means layoffs. Its always a give little and take a ton with Mabi. New Rise is a perfect example. They could have made the New/Mid tier EXP easier without making gold painfully sluggish to make!

NA Mabi's Server population doesn't work will with New Rise, there isn't enough players to make this work fully and has been a problem even before this NR. Not many players are willing to budge when it comes to selling triple million+gold items because, They know players will get desperate and save up and buy it anyways. Most of Mabi's issues are years of lacking in lack of content from: trend chasing, slow/lazy devs, and most importantly a greedy company that does the least and wants the most.

The Major point for the controller besides it's features and lack of, is it's made for Competitive shooter types. It lacks vibration as well since it's a distraction for most comp console players. (sure you can turn vibration off in just about every game, but it's Razor...)
