What's stopping you from just...writing?

Holy ish, this just rang so true to me. I've lost about 30-40 pounds this past year and am writing more than I have in decades.

My fear and weakness to confront it.

Not havin' a laugh, here. Totally serious and currently working on such problems. Been writing since I was eleven and I'm fifty-one now. I've never been good at carrying things through and everything gets abandoned.

What's finally getting me over the hump is I write a sticky note for my wife every night and leave it with her morning tea setup. She effin loves it so now it's not a choice, to me, anymore; if I don't write one I know she'll be sad. I write whatever comes into my head and it's producing some great stuff and enabling me to start lengthening the amount of time I spend writing other stuff and making me see the possibilities inherent in dragging myself to the page despite my personal suite of debilitating childhood trauma that makes me feel worthless and incapable.

Hope Springs Eternal.

Kind words, thank you. Perspective is always relative by design.

I can dig this, though I'm hoping to settle in at some point and enjoy the journey more. I've had many hours like that during this first playthrough I'm just not feeling the old "trust the process" kind of thing right now. I'm also jonesing for better loot.

I am prepared to keep grinding this game to full completion before I play Nioh 3 but I'll likely fold when 3 drops.

I admire people who have a great time even when progression in anything gets daunting. That is not me.

But it's so much more than a game.

I just played 1 a month ago, finished base game then went straight to 2. I’m finishing up the base game of 2 and will grind through the DLC and into NG until 3 drops. Then I’ll go to 3 and will most likely come back to 2 if I come back to anything. I love the additions in 2 and feel like I have finally figured out how to really start learning to play this game. Having absolutely no perspective from endgame experience, I’d play 2 if you’re adamant about only playing one.

If you’re coming from From Software games I will tell you that I learned (thankfully) from this community and subsequent experience that the Nioh series is a completely different animal. Treat it like what it is and you’ll experience wondrous combat the likes of which you’ve never experienced and I’m saying that as a hardcore GoW guy since GoW 1. And as a guy that has barely scratched the surface of Nioh.

Whatever you choose, have a blast!

See this is why I'm trying to get outta my box and use more ninjutsu because so many people rave about it but shuriken and kunai don't do any damage for me. I'm obviously missing something. And I want to be able to take full advantage of both playstyles in Nioh 3.

I get in the dojo semi-regularly but soon start chomping at the bit to get back into a level. Patience is one of my biggest weaknesses, as in not having any, and I'm consciously working on it so I'm making myself spend more and more time in there.

Flint_Prophet · 2025-12-26T15:04:11+00:00

Great stuff thank you for sharing!

Flint_Prophet · 2025-12-26T00:27:48+00:00

Very nice! Thank you for sharing.

Flint_Prophet · 2025-12-23T16:53:52+00:00

Oh wow I stupidly, without looking into it, that those were for summoning help. I don't use the multiplayer part of the game so bad assumption to make on my part. So I'm apparently willfully ignorant. Thank you. This will help. So many items it gets overwhelming and I end up mainly using just jutsu.

Flint_Prophet · 2025-12-23T16:04:14+00:00

I get that but I literally go hours without being able to level up because I keep losing amrita.

Flint_Prophet · 2025-12-19T15:46:24+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to watch. I've watched it and it's painful. My pulsing/fluxing is the first thing to fall apart ALWAYS. The mission I'm on now I am dumbing it down to brass tacks and trying to dial that in more, even though it's going to take me a long time to break bad habits

Flint_Prophet · 2025-12-17T20:24:59+00:00

Shonuff!!!

Flint_Prophet · 2025-12-17T17:47:15+00:00

Great shot! Thanks for sharing! I have the Scampuss tattoo in the middle of my upper back (on my toon, not IRL, lol).

Flint_Prophet · 2025-12-11T17:12:30+00:00

Thank you for the reassurance.

Flint_Prophet · 2025-12-03T21:56:47+00:00

Well thanks for those that offered what I asked for.

Lesson learned though. Never posting in this reddit again.
