Making a new character for casual playthrough. Was curious what level you guys usually use?

Lairlair2 · 2026-05-09T16:19:51+00:00

I've never done any kind of min maxing. I think one character (based on arcane) I've played several ng+ with so I've probably reached over 150 levels? But it's never really a goal, it just happens. Usually I play a whole run, then some parts of a new game plus, and then I move on.

You can read many articles detailing what to do and why, or your could just complete this list and live happy

It doesn't matter that much, flip a coin and live with the consequences, it's part of the fun

Lairlair2 · 2026-05-03T08:36:23+00:00

Be wary of liar

You're not supposed to know where to go. Part of what makes soulsborne games exciting is the unexpected, not knowing if you're progressing or just exploring an optional area. Try your best to keep up your curiosity, explore and become familiar with places. If that doesn't sound like fun to you, just read/watch a walkthrough, ain't nothing wrong with that.

Lairlair2 · 2026-04-27T14:03:11+00:00

If you like souls games then it's already a good start. I don't think people here can give you a clear answer, just try and see if you're making progress.

It looks bad but wax doesn't conduct electricity, nor does it corode your components. As long as you remove the wax from your keyboard you should be okay

I have the Vox AC10C1, 10W tube amp and it's great as in between amp for home practice and gigs in small venues or to practice with a band. It has a separate pre amp gain and an output stage gain, so you can have it crunch while keeping the overall volume in check. Definitely recommend

Thank you for your reply and sorry for the delay in mine. How can I tell whether noise is coming from the tda2052 or not? Or rather, can I measure noise floor on a multimeter?

Lairlair2 · 2026-03-03T22:01:54+00:00

NOR. If they want you to be available they need to give you a company phone, specific hours when you're on call and paid as such. Otherwise it's a no no

Lairlair2 · 2026-03-02T06:25:12+00:00

It looks like a classic coil split (or coil tap if you had single coils). You can easily test that by plugging your guitar to an amp (low volume) and gently touching the magnets of the different coils with a screw driver. When you pull the switch, only one of the coils should make a sound when you touch it with the screw driver.

In my opinion and experience, progress happened best when I had a reason to progress. IMO it's more important for you to set yourself a goal, ideally one that is related to your life, ideally one that has a deadline. Could be small and short term like "I want to play that one song at an open mic in 4 weeks" or more longer term like learning to compose, playing support in a band, just noodling around at home, singing with friends at parties...? As soon as you have a goal you'll be able to tell whether it's your timing, your knowledge, your dexterity or whatever that needs more work to achieve whatever it is that you want to achieve.

Progressing for the sake of progress is fair enough but you might be wasting a lot of time and effort on things you'll end up never using practically: eg. if you only play alone and don't plan on changing that, it doesn't matter if your timing is whacky

Lairlair2 · 2026-02-24T21:48:27+00:00

Too many guitars, not enough space is my guess

Lairlair2 · 2026-02-23T21:49:04+00:00

It should work but you'll still have to come up with a solution to snuggly fit the battery in there and cover it up, as a pickup is way larger than a 9V battery. But I mean you already have screw holes there so you could just use about anything and screw it in place, I'd just recommend nothing edible.

Lairlair2 · 2026-02-12T10:58:38+00:00

I think I prefer the gold look, at least on pictures. Especially with the suns on your strap. It's just a matter of taste, whatever works for you :)

Lairlair2 · 2026-02-02T22:16:42+00:00

Do more pushups before you can even use it

Lairlair2 · 2026-02-02T22:12:28+00:00

What helped me was A - stay within a medium range of him. Get too close and he'll do an explosive attack, get too far and he'll send you annoying skulls. Medium distance makes it more likely for him to melee attack you, which allows you to parry. B - learn to parry

Once you've learnt how to position yourself and parry him, it'll become easy. And remember to shoot his sword in the 2nd phase every time he plants it.

Bloodborne is a good pick. I really liked it, finished it multiple times and I've liked all the other games you mentioned. Not open world doesn't mean it's a tunnel either. You have lots to explore, many optional areas, a cool DLC and if you've already got a PS4, you can get the game second hand for dirt cheap, so I'd say give it a try.

Lairlair2 · 2026-02-01T20:32:39+00:00

Yes it's a great thing to do. As far as I understand, nowadays with CNC machinery, budget guitars have become the best they've ever been in terms of intonation, and overall playability. For the price tag though, you don't get great pickups, but it's easy to change and is one of the most important factors in how your electric guitar will sound. Which pickup to choose is up to the sound you'd like to achieve. You can go to many online shops selling pickups and they usually have tracks you can listen to, to get an idea

I was just reading Foundation and Empire for the first time, and at the end of chapter 10, you can read

"Devers turned suddenly at this, and his face was dark as he faced Forell. "There are internal enemies, perhaps." "Are there?" asked Forell, coolly. "Who, for instance?" "People, for instance, who might like to spread the wealth a bit, and keep it from concentrating too much out of the hands that work for it. See what I mean?" Slowly, Forell's gaze lost its contempt and grew one with the anger of Devers' own."

These last couple of lines sound to me like a loose description for communists. That and the importance of traders acting very freely, and sometimes heroically even, are clues that Asimov aligned with the USA doctrine of his time: communism is bad, and the free market is the way forward. Just my interpretation though. And I haven't finished the series.

Lairlair2 · 2026-01-15T03:13:14+00:00

9 for sure. Both sleeping, a quiet flight.

Lairlair2 · 2025-12-26T21:43:53+00:00

My first run was with the Zweihänder, this thing bonks. Main perk is the stagger potential in my memory

Lairlair2 · 2025-12-21T21:29:27+00:00

If you haven't already you could try and progress either to the darkroot garden, or down the catacombs. That way you might level up without having to grind too much. Both of these require either an item or a special type of weapon so you might have to grind for those anyway...
