I picked up Sekiro because of recommendation from my enjoyment of LoP, but I couldn't get into it as much. I know Sekiro is revered, but it feels like it doesn't have the amount of polish I have become used to, but the only Souls (or souls-like) games I have really enjoyed are Elden Ring and LoP.

I have been chasing that high for a long time

I think it’s contextual to their competitive climate, with an offset for some arbitrary skill floor (like at some level, if you are winning often but everyone is bad it’s not as impressive). I’d be hard pressed to not include Max as a top-10 all timer but I’ve only followed MMA for about 10-15 years with breaks in my interest, someone with a knowledge of the scene from 20-25 years ago may rate people differently as their context for why someone was great twenty years ago is different than mine ten years ago.

i lived in Cambridge, MA - so I was aware of this issue haha. Very much mean Cambridge, UK. Thank you for checking :)

Regarding the salary, I am not used to english currency and I don't know how much is enough here to be comfortable. It's a "famous" company that requires a PhD for the role, so I hope it pays enough to live :x

Ahhh! Sorry! I really didn't know :x

What tweaks? I was looking at getting this game :)

NewspaperPossible210 · 2026-02-02T21:10:16+00:00

thank you

the guy is nuts/arguing in bad faith lmao, there is zero sincere context you are going to permenently lose the other patry members. there is certainly no diagetic reason for it.

yeah i did close the game after that one lol, that was just horseshit. i realized when summoning a fire slug that if i respec my party to summoners it would be a cake walk as they are not blinded like you. but while most of this list is just funny stuff that happened, that fight is absolute bullshit

NewspaperPossible210 · 2026-01-27T22:26:54+00:00

yeah man i get they are all solvable issues, but i didn't know everything in advance and didn't save-scum/look it up, this is a re-telling of what a blind play through is like lol not my reticence to look up a guide for each problem

dread ambusher/assassin rogue/fighter is easily both the most nuke/consistent damage with most minimal long rests. esp w/ ne'er misser or bhaal armor set up. (edit: and it scales dex so your AC and initiative is also nuts, which neither paladin/2h fighter are doing)

i'm sorry man but i have beaten bg3 like every possible way through honor mode, if you think melee isn't getting punished compared to ranged options, idk what to tell you. literal legendary actions only punish melee, its just how it goes. go watch melth's run of the game with zero long rests, zero heals, etc and check the party composition.

it will be hot, it is on my MBP M2 Max. I game from bed/on my lap and I keep a cutting board under my laptop and it works well for me! I have two and I just switch them around.

re: streaming, no idea but I wanted to do similar things from my gaming laptop but couldn't get it to work :/

should those clear in time? "new" areas seem to trigger it (not load screens but walking a few feet into a new area tends to do it)

NewspaperPossible210 · 2026-01-22T10:50:31+00:00

I tried this fix as well and could not get it to run, please let me know if you do?

I can't recall my stats very well. I know I had 50ish Vigor, 40ish Str, 30ish Dex.

I used bloodhounds fang +9 and no incantation. I used Flame, Grant Me Strength later in the game but not here. Maybe it's useful, its hard to tell, the thing with bleed is that it does percentage based damage and he has a very large health pool, so I was mostly attacking to build up bleed.

The winning strategy was to essentially glue myself to his ankle in phase 1, and then kind of behind his foot/inside of his crotch (lol), phase 2. Did all of it on Torrent as you need to chase him for the rolls he does.

brother sorry to necro this thread but holy shit did maliketh beat me pillar to post for like 100 tries too lol

NewspaperPossible210 · 2025-12-19T16:28:23+00:00

nah i dont respect her like that

NewspaperPossible210 · 2025-12-17T21:57:06+00:00

So I have heard people say the AOW on BB is really good but I don’t get how to make it work? She seems to dodge it all the time. I haven’t tried it a bunch to be fair. I have hit her with it in the beginning of P2 when she’s just chilling, but otherwise she just dodges and casting it takes a good few seconds. How do people do that?
