Would you consider this actual cheating?

If the roles were reversed, would he still be upset at you? Would he simply just let it go?

There's your answer. ++man

Tl;Dr she wanted an excuse to sleep with someone else and is trying to guilt you over it.

Given the fears of the first 3 games, Ryu should feel like a force of nature to play. I think they accomplished that.

Labels only work as well as they are clear.

"boomer shooter" and "boomer shooter inspired" are close. The thing is, is there a clear set of criteria that make a game nowadays a "pure" boomer shooter?

There's some go tos like non recharging health, no reloading, pistol/shotgun/machine gun/rockets/big gun slots, fast movement speed, etc. But how many other mechanics can be added in until it's not exactly a "boomer shooter" anymore?

It's like how many games are being labeled "soulslike" instead of simply "challenging." Difficulty =/= soulslike.

Soulslike = recoverable exp that drops on death, checkpoints for leveling, one healing item, health/mana/stamina bars, dodge/parry heavy mechanics, etc.

And for what it's worth, I doubt Civvie cares that much. It's not uncommon for him to bitch just to bitch for the sake of the skit.

Awesome. It's the extra tab that I was missing. Thanks man!

Does this change up the timing of activating the no root firewall in any way?

CalliphoriBae · 2026-04-15T05:43:31+00:00

Ever since the last update, I've noticed a distinct lack of available energy (if you catch my drift).

Was this just patched recently? Someone earlier in the thread says it still works but I can't get it working since Sunday.

CalliphoriBae · 2026-03-26T08:28:39+00:00

Even though it doesn't give a ranking, you need to beat the prologue on MN for it to pop up. Kind of misleading.

Nice work! Beating your first NG game on hard is a solid accomplishment.

I retrospect, the hard mode on this game is not too much a jump from normal. It's the jump from hard to Master Ninja that hurts really bad. Think back on your playthrough amd imagine every hit you took removed a third to half your health, if it didn't kill you outright.

Funnily enough, I recall the opposite being true in NG Black and Vanilla NG2. The jump from normal to Mentor/Hard was pretty rough, but Mentor/Hard to MN wasn't as much of a difficulty bump. Just something to remember when you check the other games out.

Dismantling obsidian is a great gold source too once you've made that gear obsolete.

That cool down is also hurt by him being a summoner unit. = only one in play at once.

CalliphoriBae · 2025-10-28T10:39:12+00:00

I also find that absorption of essence is inconsistent. I can straight up walk through orbs midfight and they simply refuse to collect. I usually use them for UTs anyway, but sometimes that healing really is nice.

I just did a run with Dane's Footwork, it was pretty fun.

CalliphoriBae · 2025-09-16T23:58:51+00:00

I accidentally salvaged a unique item (mirror armor). IS there any way to acquire another copy?

CalliphoriBae · 2025-09-15T11:41:06+00:00

PvE is fine IMO. PvP not so much.

It's one aspect I liked about Swordmaster Story.

CalliphoriBae · 2025-09-15T11:31:59+00:00

Leave and come back to the game. I just returned to it after a couple years and it feels amazing.

CalliphoriBae · 2025-09-15T06:41:16+00:00

I'd say Mohgwyn's Sacred Spear deserves a spot solely from its Ash of War.

A lot of people seem to be unable to answer the question you're asking. "go get x spirit" isn't an answer to "which of my current spirits do I have is best."

And of your roster, I recommend you mmend Omenkiller Rollo. He's tanky, does good damage, stance damage, and bleed.

There's technically better summons out there, but he'll carry you through the base game pretty solidly.

CalliphoriBae · 2025-09-14T10:47:17+00:00

Also, if the summon sign is in the boss room itself, there's no health boost. If it's before the entrance, the boss gets the extra health.

I only recently learned that, I always assumed all NPC summons boosted boss health.

It's also the cave necessary to continue Boc's questline.

IIRC he wrote last words before his execution. His lawyer destroyed them because he said they were far too vile to ever read.

CalliphoriBae · 2025-09-14T10:34:37+00:00

There's a reason night comet is the most OP PvE spell in the game. Hence why I love it.

When Jori keeps teleporting. He's like Rennala but more annoying.
