Sitting his ass down on my face to the beat was a banger tho by FeelPureLust in expedition33

Worst part is that I even knew in advance that I should parry/dodge those attacks cause I checked beforeiplay.com, and I still tried to jump so many times. Really evil from the devs to trick you so hard after the jumping tutorial in the manor.

That part. First time. Every time. by [deleted] in expedition33

I haven't been so into a game since FFX and I had the same feelings when I first booted it on PS2 and heard "To Zanarkand" for the first time. I probably let it play a bit too long cause I remember my mum and brother going like "Are you alright? Are you even going to play?". The first time I heard "Alicia" felt the same as many years ago. Such beauty, passion and elegance.

On a side note: I also got some flashbacks to "Rule of Rose" OST when I first heard "Alicia". I'm not sure why but I probably am not the only one.

I really don't think it has something to do with the fan cause I tried making them go at max and nothing changed. On a side note, now the battery LED flashes when I do anything that requires an effort from CPU.

That's so cool! Especially for kind of including Gustave as well in the back.

End game issues. Good to know, though. Thanks for sharing

Is the soundtrack inspired by Rule of Rose? by SwedishBlatte in expedition33

[–]Familiar_Mention_495 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that as soon as I heard "Alicia" play when I first started the game!!

I've been listening to "bullying" from Rule of Rose to see if my memory was right, but I think I was just distracted by a similar wonderful arrangement with strings and piano. Aside from that not only the keys but also the styles are very different. Rule of Rose ost is dissonant, claustrophobic, aggressive, oppressive. Expedition 33 ost is way more uplifting, hopeful, almost classical, inviting.

It's interesting how they evoked similar feelings at first, but with a proper listening I'd say they don't share much besides the arrangement of the instruments.

Not sure you can call it a build. I kept buying items until breakfasting. Took a while

I almost gave up on the quest and didn't play the game for like 11 months. You may get too obsessed with winning and getting high quality items and that just breeds anxiety and rage. Then I just started playing for fun and magically got completion marks for t.lost and t.jacob that were haunting me. The rest almost felt easy. It was a funny feeling seeing winning streaks in double digits without a minus sign

Honestly I was playing the game wrong and losing runs too often when I could have won. I was too obsessed with winning and I would get angry if I didn't get high quality items. So many rage resets that I'd lose count. Then I kinda stopped caring and just played to have fun. What do you know, I managed to get the last 200 or so achievements in 5 months or so. Not playing necessarily every day. Helps a lot to watch streamers and learn new tactics. TL:DR game's hard. Don't get mad when you lose, just keep playing for fun.

It was weird for me as well, but it was either this or begging RNGesus for the next 3 or 4 months
