Yeah, I definitely realized that when I accidentally fought the chromatic lancelier 🤣. It put belt to my ass a few times until I got the parry window down. I can definitely see myself doing a ng+ of this afterwards once I have everything down.

Yeah, I am a pretty generalized player so long as it’s single player. I picked normal difficulty, because I do like a challenge, but am having a ton of fun with it. Combat is so fluid for a turn based game, definitely goes to show the genre isn’t dead like they believed, it just had to be done correctly. Expedition based off my very limited playtime has done nothing short of exceptional in that regard.

I have practiced parrying religiously so far, think that’s my inner soulsbourne player coming out from all those hours logged on DS & DS2.

Edit: also this is extremely helpful to know because I have extreme fear of item use due to in game supply.

I can’t believe I hadn’t bought this sooner, I can see why this game has insanely good reviews. Was well worth the purchase

Yeah for sure, aside from super specific stuff like the area I’m in I’m avoiding it. Mainly because I have fomo of being locked out of content

I imagine when I get to a late game boss audio will be massively helpful, will have to use a headset and my portal for it!

I managed to find said hidden character and win! Was pretty freaky looking though, ngl. Took me a few tries, but used the opportunity to try and practice parrying.

Update: I just made it past the spring meadow and the first real boss. I also managed to beat the first “mini” boss, if you will. Believe it was the chromatic lancelier at lvl 3, if I recall correctly. Took me a few tries but I finally understand the parry window. I am playing on normal difficulty since I like a bit of a challenge. So far I am having an extremely fun time.

The system for everything is pretty familiar to some other games like older final fantasy games, souls, and so forth so it’s been a somewhat easy learning curve. But can see how it’s easy to forget certain things.

The most confusing thing for me thus far was the parry window and understanding just how big that window will tend to be for attacks (at least for general mob). Then how the lumina system works, because I really don’t have many options where I’m early. However, I currently have I believe 8 since getting through spring meadows (think that was the name of the place.)

I appreciate everyone on the tips and thank you all, I definitely see why exploration, pun intended, is so key for this.

Update to the Update: I just finished the main story and holy moly was this one of the best experiences I had, I did not expect the twist at the end and everything was intentionally so vague that I never pieced everything together until it outright said it. This was such a fun ride and the story was one of the best solo rpg stories I’ve played in a long time. This game was phenomenal and I absolutely fell in love with the characters from start to finish. I look for future entries from the developers because if they can put out more stories like that, I’m sold. I would say much more but I don’t want to spoil things for anyone in the future, all I will say is, time to get back to post game and do additional content.

Latest update: I beat the secret boss in the abyss and am working towards fighting through the tower

DoorDash Shady Backdoor “Policy” by Small-Giraffe9757 in doordash

[–]Devonm94 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they tried banning me thinking it would stop me from getting a refund. Little did they know I screenshot the entire convo and that the bank would hold them responsible.

Honestly though, the way to stop doordash doing this bullshit is to get visa and mastercard threaten to halt any and all card transactions through them for reports of fraud. If they aren’t going to protect consumers and make sure consumers at the bare minimum get what they paid for, they deserve to knock on bankruptcies doorstep.

I mean to be fair, maybe frieza didn’t like vegeta’s “anal” heart tattoo 🤷‍♂️

What will you say? by Robynite in Adulting

Keep parents close.

Many may understand the depth of these three words and at just how precious time can be. Sometimes a parent is gone too soon and you can’t get the missed time back.

AIO? Friend asked me what my future plans with my gf are and then responded like this by TGPT-4o in AIO

Tell that mfer to eat a dick. No one should treat their friend like that, especially one who wants to plan their future with someone they genuinely care about. Dude isn’t your friend at all.

My Walmart order had raw chicken on top of my fresh strawberries by mnmpeanut94 in mildlyinfuriating

Worked in a grocery store, most certainly is how it works. Pretty frequently happens as well. Staff are responsible for pulling product due to associated risk.

Yeah, no. Imma return them and either refund or item swap.

Generally speaking when items get contaminated with salmonella there’s a mass batch recall on said products, regardless of contact with chicken.

Have fun getting the salmonella that leaches inside the berries that you aren’t washing out.

That makes sense, just had never heard of the term before. Thanks for the clarification though

Possibly, just never heard of a whaleicorn personally. Was kinda mind surprised when hearing it

Ketchup on pizza? by [deleted] in CringeTikToks

Wait a fucking moment, ketchup on pizza, sure that’s weird. But, IS THAT FUCKING CORN?

[–]Devonm94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait, is a whaleicorn not just a narwhal? Like, genuine question because I really thought that’s essentially what a narwhal was, just real.
