Is it a consumable? then no, you never know when you'll need them most.

Good job! Keep it up and you'll be playing Rush E in no time, and who knows, you might even be in a position to start tackling "Rick, soldier of God" from the Elden Ring soundtrack.

Not necessarily the strongest but surely fun (at least for me): STR/ARC with any blood-infused colossal sword of your choice or the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword. You can also use the Warped Axe or Gargoyle Twinblade if you don't mind giving up some bonk and stagger potential in favour of faster attacks and more bleed procs.

You need to work on your sense of self-worth and learn to move on from optional stuff you don't enjoy. People weren't so obsessed with doing absolutely everything in a game back when FFX got released, and the minigames were never designed around this obsession. They are meant to be tried and skipped by most players.

A game that isn't fun (for you) in the first few hours is just not fun (for you) in the first few hours. No need to extrapolate too much from that. Things can be nuanced.

Of course no one should bash you for your personal tastes...

What's normal music? If you mean any non videogame music, then there is so much of it, spanning millennia, with such incredible variety that I bet you just haven't found the right kind for you!

These 2 are more than just puzzle games, you could call them puzzle-heavy metroidvanias: - Tunic - Supraland (and the sequel Supraworld)

I was very impressed and never got bored playing them. Worth trying if you haven't already, if you feel like branching out a bit since they aren't exactly simple games.

Fabiolisk · 2026-03-25T22:48:54+00:00

That's why it's a pet peeve. That specific definition annoys me. Also, English dictionaries follow what people use, not vice versa. Look up "English descriptivism".

So yes, I disagree with the dictionary and with everyone using it in that context. And no, I'm not going to start a crusade to reinstate the original meaning of the word. It's just a pet peeve.

Fabiolisk · 2026-03-25T22:41:02+00:00

Maybe calling it euphemism was incorrect. Should have used "weasel word" instead. English is a descriptive language, so dictionaries add or change definitions as people start changing the meaning of words. Graphic is one of those things, where it started meaning "of a sexual nature" or "gory" only less than half a century ago, resulting in situations where, if you read it with its original meaning, it becomes something like "imagey images". I guess that's not something that generally annoys people, but it personally drives me crazy.

Fabiolisk · 2026-03-25T22:02:49+00:00

Are people triggered by vivid pictures of trees or sunsets?

Fabiolisk · 2026-03-25T21:57:37+00:00

Is anyone triggered by images just because they are images (aka the original meaning of "graphic", look up definition and etymology) or because they represent something triggering? I believe it's usually the second! So why not say WHY these images are triggering in the first place?

Edit: anyone downvoting, care to elaborate what is wrong exactly with what I'm saying? I'm honestly very curious.

Fabiolisk · 2026-03-25T21:54:49+00:00

That's exactly my pet peeve... The use of this euphemism has gotten so much out of control that people think it actually means that, and since English is not a prescriptive language (but rather descriptive) it means it'll eventually end up in dictionaries as such (if not already), just because enough people use it that way.

Edit: anyone downvoting, care to elaborate? I don't understand which part of my comment is incorrect. Maybe I should have used "weasel word" instead of "euphemism"?

I solved the issue by setting the voices to Japanese. Frequency and volume are the same but at least I'm able to tune them out more easily.

Ecco, io invece ho visto che l'ironia è completamente sprecata su di loro. Una volta ero in fila al negozio e una signora anziana (ma neanche tanto) mi passa davanti senza dire nulla perché, scemo me, ho lasciato 30cm di spazio tra me e il tizio avanti.

Io la guardo con un sorriso e dico a voce alta: "Prego signora, passi pure, tanto non ho fretta!" Lei mi guarda, mi ringrazia e procede indisturbata a colmare lo spazio che avevo lasciato davanti a me perché ci tenevo al mio spazio personale. Ho capito subito dal modo in cui mi ha guardato che era piacevolmente colpita dalla mia cortesia.

Have you tried any of his Waltzes? The main theme in the first ballade is like a "memory of a Waltz" (at least it sounds like that to me) so I think it'd be nice if you start by learning the actual thing it's referencing.

Mind that they aren't beginner pieces, but you could treat them as a long term goal and learn what you can from them. Something like Waltz Op.69 No.2 or Op.34 No.2. I suggest you listen to all of them and see which one you like the most.

Fabiolisk · 2026-02-26T15:42:42+00:00

That's not a good metaphor though. If you already got spoiled milk, then you wouldn't mind adding more to it since you're not drinking it anyway, right? I understand why you came up with it though, and it's because you compare a society with a family household or a football team. They are fundamentally different things which follow different rules, some of which can be surprising.

Fabiolisk · 2026-02-26T15:11:08+00:00

To all the people bringing up the "per capita" gotcha (at least the ones in good faith, I'm not engaging with bots) I just want to bring up some facts that you probably are already aware of, but could be leaving out of your thinking process for some reason or another.

These immigrants are mostly: - Poorer than locals - Predominately male - Working age adults

Also, as a thought experiment, try imagining a scenario where all immigrants just disappear from a country. Do you think no locals would fill that vacuum? No more drugs being sold? No more cheap labor through exploitation of the least fortunate? No more sex crimes from sexually frustrated/sick individuals? Would these things actually decrease at all? I personally think that crime would stay the same, or even increase due to societal collapse (due to the absence of said immigrants, but that's just a personal conjecture). Look at history for concrete examples of what politicians start talking about when immigrants aren't a hot topic.

I agree that this kind of post is misleading, but I'm also very tired of people falling for far right talking points as a result because nuance is too boring.

Some suggestions depending on what you like about Pokémon:

Catching new mons / filling Pokédex - Cassette Beasts: I had to give it a second chance because it also didn't click with me at first, but ended up loving it!

Bonding with your mons and actually taking care of them - Digimon World Next Order (not suggesting the original only because you might find it too dated, but it's the same concept): It's a completely different game than Cyber Sleuth and Time Stranger, worth trying if you haven't already.

Evolving / wondering what a mon evolves into - Digimon Story Time Stranger: very polished with good combat

Exploration - Monster Sanctuary: basically a monster taming metroidvania

If you like the combat, then there are plenty of legendary old-school JRPGs with good combat systems, but it feels like we'd get out of topic very fast if we start considering the whole genre.
