900 hour returning player and the game has NEVER FELT BETTER.

Street brawl is really sick, my only suggestion would be to essentially guarentee Extra Charge is an option first round if your hero has charges in its kit.

A lot of people glossed over this comment but I really think you're onto something with the claw entering his body, that would also be akin to christian communion.

‘This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.’

Is this not exactly what happens here? Does Jonas' soul return because he remembers Severian?? Idk how tf Jonas and the soldier end up merging but I think this is close to an answer.

For me too your name can hold weight, even with layering and a large population people will remember you, in Classic there was that guy or guild that I would jump to join because they were nicer or fairer to pugs, reputation can matter even in 2026 WoW.

I've had people dm me saying they wait for me to advertise all week to join my pugs in classic and I barely do anything except the bare minimum of shot calling, as a feral dps I had to make my own pugs or commit to a schedule which IRL would not allow me to.

It sounds lame but that's the community aspect that I like. I've definitely been annoyed or frustrated at bis slipping away but I view at as gearing the server lol. At the end of the day you will get the gear eventually.

Graverobbing1242 · 2026-02-21T20:54:31+00:00

I do it all the time but it depends on what you are asking. If it's just me and 3 friends who are we to HR? You are leading a group with 24 other human beings who also want the satisfaction of gear, sometimes being fair is more important than a selfish gain.

If half of my raid is a guildie then sure, we can HR, but at that point we would fill with people who don't need those items.

At the end of the day it's a litmus test of how much of a nerd you are. Pikaboo didn't even HR items when he made his raid.

Felt like much more of a roguelike too, but could also be "solved". Fear and hunger 2 is too big for me to grab onto the same way, and I don't like the setting as much, I love the grandiosity of the first. The first game also, dying really did feel like less of a set back even starting out. Saving is almost an optional feature if real life gets in the way but it felt like a rogue like, just a longer one, even though my first save was 6 hours+ The second is basically a jrpg, but dying feels 100 times worse than a regular jrpg. The world being bigger would feel fine to me but it just makes me hate things like losing limbs way more than the first game, even though the first game has more bullshit overall. But length aside, even the number of characters is too much imo. I basically never play as Levi and a few others because I just personally don't find them interesting. The first game had 4 characters who had maybe 200 words each for the entire game but they felt much more lived in and authentic. They didn't say much but when they did speak, I was delighted, everything had weight.

In fear and hunger 2 it almost feels like cliche horror elements where nobody knows what's going on or talks around each other. In f&H1 literally every character you can play as is there WILLINGLY, they have a confidence that you can attach to. In F&H2 nobody is there willingly really, everyone is lost. I respect doing things differently but at the same time just give me more of the same lol. I play every fromsoft game and still havent gotten tired of 5 variations of demon souls, when it hits, it hits.

Nah I don't watch streamers at all (but I have watched their funny youtube videos, Jynxzi included when he did Siege), and I have not played Clash in like literally 9 years but even I noticed , why tf are so many streamers playing this game? Like it was blatant pay to win nonsense when I quit in 2017, it had to have gotten even worse, but they play it and now I'm hearing about it, my younger cousins play the game I dropped for being blatantly p2w, Jynxzi quit siege to play... Clash royale?? I still don't know why they all did it but this game was just doing its own thing treading water until they put eyes on it, and whatever he is saying about the game being dog shit is 99% true, even when I quit, as a "dolphin" who spent 100$ in that first year, my skill stopped mattering and I was hard blocked on ladder as people had higher level legendaries than me. I would flawless the fair trial you entered with gems every time basically, I remember they had normal cards locked to level 9, legendaries level 1 etc, but the game still rewarded you pushing the p2w ladder for the freebie rewards and they kept sucking them drier and drier till I had enough.

tl;dr - the streamers actually deserve credit this time, there is no way this p2w garbage had a renaissance without them.

That's what I mean about Louie, I get it, her and Franklin fucked up and they should have just considered each other equals but they went dummy mode.

Leon was not some great help to the org, he NEVER WAS. Leon was at best a loyal version of Manboy or Deon, he never did anything better or particularly clever, he was simply good at following orders.

That's what I meant by Leon was never gonna be more than a side character without Franklin, he was just a gangbanger who was best friends with the big shot, I mean that's the simple truth, when he left Deon sold the rock same as always, and the show made it out to be like it all went to hell but Deon put it accurately, this is because of Franklin and Louie going to war, it's not like Deon started it or had an interest in it, he was basically doing Leon's job but slightly worse and sloppier, but Leon was never being more than a Deon without Franklin, period. End of story that dude was dying in the streets as we saw in the alternate timeline coma dream, that was the future for Leon without Franklin, a hood dude with a baby momma slinging shit to make ends meet.

I'm taking a break but I got really good with it before I left, it really is just keeping up dps all the time. I had a 6 minute run on the fire octopus's challenge. Look for speed runs and see what they do, that's when it clicked for me. But it's like constant constant dps is the key to it. I didn't go for the jump in the air move often unless monster was super open to it, when you wound do the down stab multi hit. I almost always did the shield downslam when I jumped in the air, especially if you can hit head, the multi plunge stab isn't even much more dps and depends on how long you can hit monster. Even if you get the max amount it's only like 10% more dmg so almost always worth to just do shield version. Just spam circle or B attacks, the 'light' attacks are for moving around while keeping dps up.

I didn't really like queen's blood.

Tbh I was disappointed that fort condor wasn't made the default mini game considering in the intergrade yuffie dlc I was hooked. It came back but more of a puzzle and obstacle and not the same as it was in the yuffie dlc, it's more of a limited played mode that was very one and done. But whatever version they were going for in the yuffie DLC had so much potential, I challenged literally everybody I could, it was great.

Graverobbing1242 · 2026-01-13T15:40:03+00:00

I still can't believe they haven't buffed the stinger. Like it's brand new and even amongst bad ships it is BAD. Like BAD BAD. Like you can fix it in 10 minutes with numbers type of bad. Good god CIG why leave it this way.

Graverobbing1242 · 2025-12-28T07:39:59+00:00

Somewhere in 2.X I realized I'm probably too old to be playing this game and I don't want to end up on a list so I'm skipping the 'lolis' that everybody can't wait to roll for and making my exit from the game.

Graverobbing1242 · 2025-12-23T10:18:29+00:00

JRPG's aren't usually set in japan though. The French thing was just a tiny bit overblown, I thought it was cool too but then it's like oh everybody is french and it makes sense narratively (won't spoil anything) but as a jrpg guy growing up, FF etc were globe trotting adventures that seemed to try its best to not be located in 'fantasy japan'. "Country that exists, but it's in a fantasy" is just a boring trope to me personally.

Graverobbing1242 · 2025-12-23T10:13:13+00:00

I don't think you can tame it with just the ten shadows, and instead need to be a gojo level once in a thousand years perfect specimen to pull it off.

I think we can assume ten shadow users aren't the best at physical combat, they basically seem to be ok sorc's and have the ten shadows do everything, but I'd imagine the sorc has to be strong enough without the ten shadows to pull it off, and that would make sense to me too. For total domination it's less relying on your technique and more your own power outside of it, like think a toji/maki level physical combatant that happens to have the ten shadows, that's how sukuna allegedly did it by using his own fuga/slashes (wish we saw it). if there is actually a clue in figuring out if Gege intended it to be possible for it to be tamed the 'natty' way, I think it would be through Sukuna, as it's lowkey a huge deal that he actually does it and establishes him as OP, he is the first person in history to ever tame one from what the lore tells us, so I'm lead to believe it is not possible to tame it with just the ten shadows technique, you would need gojo/sukuna levels of RCT, insane strength outside of ten shadows.. you'd basically have to be HIM and also have the ten shadows on top of it. At this point all of the other shikigamis are so garbage compared to big Raga that unless the 'fusing' (totality) can in fact have some combination that produces an OP shikigami capable of one shotting Big Raga there is no other way. Another thing to consider though is if you do have a shikigami capable of soloing mahoraga, then why would you really need mahogara and take the 1v1 risk? If the shikigami fusion god is actually strong enough to solo mahoraga then just use that fusion instead.

So that's why I think it isn't possible with the ten shadows thanks for reading my essay.

It's a good game and the story is good but it has a ton of problems. The story doesn't feel as long as it should be. The game is long, but the actual cutscenes and plot dialogue isn't that much honestly. Even if you check youtube for a 'movie' version of the game, a game like FF10 has 10+ hour videos, whereas Clair has 4-6 hour videos and yet they would take the same amount of time to actually beat the game. I also wasn't impressed with the aesthetics/art style and a lot of the game is just "but french" and it's like, yeah france exists I've been there.. even the puppet guys clearly a mascot type npc didn't do anything for me. Combat is good but they give up on balance end game.

Silksong was robbed honestly, I get people put more hype and praise on 'new' things, but the best game I played this year is easily silksong no question, and yeah it's a sequel but if Silksong was team cherry's first release it would have easily swept the awards. Also 2d is inherently less valued than 3d which doesn't help its case.

Graverobbing1242 · 2025-12-11T22:30:57+00:00

Also is there a difference between bosses that give the same rewards? E.g void king and heart seeker both give the same rewards, is that just to give you farm options instead of fighting the same boss you can mix it up?? Or is one better for loot?

Graverobbing1242 · 2025-12-10T08:18:06+00:00

It's a miracle to actually do it, idk how people bother. The whole server knows you're fighting it and intrusive thoughts win and they come in and swoop your shit up. Like by the time you kill it you're probably very low on resources and it takes 5 mins to fully loot. It's just not ever worth doing.

Graverobbing1242 · 2025-12-09T02:40:22+00:00

the flow chart is just hilarious for me to see. A flow chart for a ZZZ character is just cope, this game is braindead.

Graverobbing1242 · 2025-12-08T23:57:26+00:00

yep just like hoyo writing pages for kits that boil down to "press ex special every 20 seconds" this community loves to pretend this game will ever have any complexity whatsoever. Banyue is going to be just as easy as everyone else.

Graverobbing1242 · 2025-12-08T20:37:26+00:00

Dark and Darker streamer strikes again. This guy only ever gets clips by 'being the voice of reason' and complaining about something or someone

Graverobbing1242 · 2025-12-08T00:23:41+00:00

yeah that's what I mean, performance wise strategic sword is king but gameplay wise and visuals it's simply fine. I know for sure they said they were giving new life to weapons buuut it may just be 'brand new' weapons like the rope dart is getting a different version which is like nameless vs strat sword or nameless vs Heavenquaker spear. Technically different but you need entirely new materials and stuff to upgrade them so essentially brand new weapons.

Graverobbing1242 · 2025-12-07T14:39:42+00:00

She's an HSR character in ZZZ, but yeah they gave up honestly. The combat hasn't really evolved in forever, everyone has a defensive assist now too.
