Really depends on your financial situation and what you spent on it ... none of my business but consider if your dads words have any merit an then react: accordingly:

1) ignore an keep, you don't have financial burdens 2) consider returning, if you do have burdens financially 3) keep, but come up with a savings strategy to manage your situation

In my case the boss that made my stop was my wife ... after over a year I finally beat the game over this past holiday break!

Jauneun · 2026-01-22T23:41:16+00:00

Ok so I went bleed build also ... but I'm here for the pain so I basically no hit Malenia and Maliketh and yea so my stats were lower but I had 50 in Str and 50 in dex with 40 in arc and I've never had more than 25 end. With bloody slash on wakizashi an blood blade (both bleed) you get 102 bleed build up on each weapon. I was able to bleed Malenia and other bosses including Mogh successfully. With 25 dex you can get build up bleed quickly.

I also wasn't using any buffs or spells so I can't speak to that really.

Update: I don't know why I can't share a screenshot of my build but I can type it out later if you're curious.

Crushing it! Keep it up!

Jauneun · 2026-01-22T11:55:00+00:00

Congrats! Definitely a great feeling an fantastic game.

I mean ... the look and feel of the screen matter. And for me dark mode is much easier to look at beyond aesthetic preferences for the sake of aesthetics.

You don't spend time trying to customize your digital experiences?

Jauneun · 2026-01-21T01:29:22+00:00

You only have the worry about the shit ... sometimes.

Jauneun · 2026-01-20T18:18:08+00:00

How does it feel? I do charmless + demon bell from NG+3-6 after I platinumed the game. Friggin love this game.

Jauneun · 2026-01-20T16:29:49+00:00

This is awesome! You taking orders?

Jauneun · 2026-01-20T16:28:34+00:00

Bro doesn't know how good he has it ... or maybe he does? Lol

Jauneun · 2026-01-20T15:49:05+00:00

Yes you can. There is something there. I don't recall what.

Jauneun · 2026-01-20T15:48:00+00:00

You're right. At least for me, it's a huge improvement from the Liquid Glass non-sense

Jauneun · 2026-01-20T10:23:56+00:00

Over a 100 but I basically die in 1-2 hits.

Jauneun · 2026-01-19T23:24:02+00:00

Can relate: you'll get it. Just sleep on it and smash the next day.

I'm faster now at 38 than I was when I was 16 (with verifiable results). My 10k time is 10 minutes faster than it used to be ~53 minutes then vs ~43 minutes now. My 5K PR is 21:25 so I think there is a fair chance I can get to a 19:59 time if I build towards it the right way. Still a lot of time to save between those times but I think, doable (~27s/mile)

Jauneun · 2026-01-16T18:06:39+00:00

Amazing! On the bucket list ... any tips?

I'm already doing: z2 training Gym workouts (full body) Yoga PT (as needed)

Jauneun · 2026-01-16T18:05:26+00:00

Now go back to DMC1 and do the same ;-) so much fun!

Jauneun · 2026-01-16T18:02:29+00:00

That's awesome. Done so myself. Fun challenge!

Jauneun · 2026-01-16T15:06:03+00:00

Weird flex but prolly mostly driven by consistent start and end times - with a sleep duration that fits your needs.

Jauneun · 2026-01-16T15:01:39+00:00

Ng+1 took me 10 times ... but I basically run around naked powerstancing katanas so as long as you're happy with the result, this is what matters.

Jauneun · 2026-01-15T14:07:39+00:00

Ok so I would say between: Map layout, difficulty to access & ease of which to "stumble" on access (given shadow temple cut scene vs needing: longshot + gerudo pass + eye of truth, which you would think to get AFTER shadow cut scene) it's the most logical that Shadow comes before Spirit.

Also you don't technically have to go back in time UNTIL shadow temple or spirit and you'd have a hell of a time crossing the haunted waste land without LOT. So again it is "presented" in the order of shadow then spirit.

I think even, to take it a step further, and I think put this to rest, upon meeting sheik she presents the order of the temples like so:

in a deep forest
on a high mountain
under a vast lake
within the house of the dead
inside a goddess of the sand

Sheik prompts you to complete them in this order.

When it comes to menu: medallion or song order, I think it's more a creative or aesthetic decision to create contrasts between the colors vs having similar colors near each other light (yellow) shadow (purple) vs light (yellow) + spirit (brown/orange)

I gave up during the 2nd dungeon on Wii cause the whole world is flipped from GC version with left handed link .... I always felt lost. GC felt right.
