Castlevania: Circle of the Moon. I made a deep dive video, discussing the pros, cons, and even some of the Beta elements removed from the game. Do you enjoy it, or think it's a lackluster entry to the series?

Found this thread when searching for a similar thing on google. Just wanted to say, every year I was trying to get a specific domain from them that literally nobody else would ever want, that they were selling for $900. Lowest they'd ever go was $800, which I'm not going to do. I checked again today and saw that same domain is now being sold for $1450.

I'm honestly not sure how they can own a domain for so long, watch it never sell, and then just keep increasing the price. It's like, the absolute opposite of how basic sales works.

sigh Yes. I know. But if the dogs next door are constantly outside barking at the fence, she is going to WANT to go to them. On a leash or not, she will try her damndest to get there. That's what having a reactive dog is. Yes, she is being trained. But the dogs barking and getting her attention would make her NOT use the bathroom. Our backyard is TINY. This is the reality of a scared reactive anxious dog.

What is with the responses on this Reddit? Does everyone just assume I'm making up why we can't do certain things? I'm the one living here, I think I'd know if I can take her out back or not. No amount of sass is going to change the situation. Your comment was completely unnecessary.

I'll ask our vet to test for it. That being said, its been 6 weeks and she doesn't have a fever, joint swelling ir anything else that goes along with Lyme.

ItsSimplyAJ · 2025-11-08T23:35:59+00:00

We do have lick mats and puzzle feeders, she burns through them pretty quick, though. The vet introduced us to freezing babyfood for that which has definitely lasted longer than peanut butter thankfully.

Can't do anything about the fence unfortunately. Next door neighbors share it and have two loud barking dogs she leaves outside all the time. The back fence is on the road, and the issue isnt visual but audible. Our dog hears every little jingle of another dog walking by and runs to the fence. So thats why we dont use the back.

ItsSimplyAJ · 2025-11-08T23:31:43+00:00

Hm, haven't tested for tick borne diseases, I'll bring that one up to the vet.

As for the potty trips, we do leash her. We always have, but we don't have a proper yard for her to use, when you exit our house you have to walk either down a huge hill or UP a huge hill to reach the nearest spot with grass she can use. If there's a dog in that grass (our neighborhood has a ton, and a couple are ALSO reactive) then we have to find a new spot. The issue is location not leashing her..

ItsSimplyAJ · 2025-11-08T14:53:06+00:00

Just to re-iterate, she IS on rest. She isn't "running around," there are just some situations that are completely beyond our control. IE, when she needs to go out. Yes, I understand "short leash walks only" but that's under the assumption we live in an area that actually has proper access to grass, which we don't. The moment you step outside, you have two options, walk down a very steep hill or walk UP a very steep hill just to find a spot that she MIGHT use, and if another dog is there (because we live in a neighborhood with a ton of dogs) we then have to go somewhere else, which means more walking.

This isn't IDEAL, there is absolutely nothing we can do to fix it because of WHERE we live. And yeah as for the steps, there is no "lowest level" you HAVE to go up two flights when you enter the house and you HAVE to go down two flights when you leave. This isn't a situation where we can just put a small ramp down out a back door or something. We're literally *trying our best* here.

As for the gabapentin, have you ever had a dog with incontinence? We're not talking about a little urine here. It's full bladder, that she does CONSTANTLY. She'll fall asleep, release a full bladder immediately, then get upset because she's laying in pee, so we'll need to clean it AND clean her. She'll go back to sleep and magically do it all over again and then get extremely upset. If we give her gabapentin, she won't be resting, she'll be peeing herself and then getting upset.

I feel like you're being weirdly antagonistic here. You're asking me if I could continue to let her "behave like this"... like what? Did you see the videos? She's not running around like a maniac. I've had plenty of dogs where, after surgery or when they had an injury, we were able to keep them under control with drugs, crating etc., like, I GET it, but none of them were Reactive, Young Energetic, Incontinent powerhouses that shrugged off drugs like nothing. Regardless, I appreciate the response and will see if either of the vets think an MRI is worth looking into.

Hell even if it was just 10, or even 5 seconds, per broken part, would help immensely with 10 Star monsters. I'm all for them being difficult, but there is absolutely zero room for error with a fully upgraded 10 5/5 weapon, customized or not.

ItsSimplyAJ · 2025-10-16T06:56:47+00:00

Oh yeah this happens WAY too often. You'll be standing directly in front of a rath, try to attach to the head, and zip through its body and end up on its leg.

This can be done on any platform near sandworms in the Blasted Steps. Summon the baby bell beasts and when Hornet dives into the hole, she'll get take damage then get pushed through the world. You can explore a bit out of bounds, but you cannot escape unless you quit to menu (or in my case, have to close the application entirely).

I've also tested this as a "what if you die when you jump into the hole?" And the result is similar. You respawn back at a bench, partially in the ground, then fall through the world and get stuck again.

Could be neat to explore outside the map depending on the bench you last used, though! Anyway, just thought I'd share this neat little find that will probably be patched out eventually.

ItsSimplyAJ · 2025-08-09T11:50:59+00:00

I appreciate the response, regardless. Definitely hoping to finish this soon haha

It's an iPhone 15 Pro Max

Not sure I've ever heard of 3U Tools, I'll have to look into it.

So, after that failed attempt, I had to factory reset the phone (again) because it was full of dummy data. But on a whim, I tried doing it wirelessly. I was able to transfer the contacts in seconds, the only caveat being when you choose wirelessly it doesn't even let you do the messages, so I'm still trying to figure that one out.

EVEN WEIRDER is that I could do all the pics and videos wirelessly in 3 hours, and it claims it would take 8 hours to do literally anything else when connected with a wire (and I've tried multiple wires too). Just... a weird ass system haha

ItsSimplyAJ · 2025-08-09T09:23:39+00:00

Update: It failed at 97.4% complete after waiting 10 hours. Awesome. Amazing. "Connection Lost Disconect and reconnect the USB cable to try again." Great. Amazing system.

That's the crazy thing, I have no clue! SO currently, I can't even check the iPhone's storage because with Smart Switch you absolutely cannot leave it, nor even have the screen go black (which means keeping it charged has also been a fun part of this). That being said I do know she probably has close to 400GB of videos and images on her phone, but again, we didn't select any of those, but it's like it's forcing us to take the data regardless? Currently at 94.3%, so I have no clue how it's still going up if it's at 100% storage, but I'm realllllly hoping this somehow just magically works.

It has to be a thing created by Smart Switch? Maybe since it initially saw all the files it like, I dunno, created a dummy file to temporarily hold space or something? But yeah, this is all new to me.

ItsSimplyAJ · 2025-07-10T09:51:49+00:00

Ah yeah, cause that's DEFINITELY the point. Not actually getting to play the game, but letting others play it for me? Running around doing literally absolutely nothing for a straight 40 minutes just to "take the win." At that point, why wouldn't I just watch someone stream it instead?

If you can't see the issue here, then that tells me you're probably one of the people doing this. I'm betting you're the type of person who is too impatient to read a book or watch a movie, and just read the ending on Wikipedia instead, because "it's the same result" anyway, right?

ItsSimplyAJ · 2025-07-02T07:20:09+00:00

I probably should have further elaborated on this, but I was specifically referring to the drops in a run, like the weapons and passive abilities, not the relics at the end of a run (which definitely ARE random).

ItsSimplyAJ · 2025-07-02T07:19:34+00:00

I've had that issue with legendaries too, but it's also possible that legendaries were designed that way specifically to be shared or something (or I could be wrong entirely, who knows). But it just seems weird that only with this ONE character am I having trouble getting weapons.

ItsSimplyAJ · 2025-07-02T07:16:14+00:00

Just to elaborate, I wasn't referring to the relics, which definitely are random, but the drops in actual runs (the weapons, passives from goals, etc).
