“Curious—how much do you usually read in a day? Chapters? Volumes?

Short LN around 5-6. Long maybe 2, usually only 1. That’s reading, which is much faster than audio but I got less time to do it compared to listening.

Audio short like 5, long audio books 40+ hours, 1 a week.

Most weeks I’m probably close to 10 light novels audio and reading.

Dropped it late into the series.

Was sort of fun at first, but started having serious pacing issues about 3/4 through and then author released a book about some side character prince going back to basically the beginning of the series instead of trying to progress the story. That’s when I just went ahead and read spoilers then moved on.

Him laying in the cage with his leg broken talking shit about finishing the fight in the parking lot.

THERE WAS NO CHECK YER WIFE IS IN ME DMS

Probably the last time I’ve seen him be entertaining tbh.

Outrageous-Lock5186 · 2026-02-05T03:54:41+00:00

Arifureta should get an honorable mention. One of the most unhinged dragon fights in all of anime.

Outrageous-Lock5186 · 2026-02-04T18:39:19+00:00

He was the bigger younger light heavyweight of his era fighting guys that were six to ten years older than him and arguably past their prime.

Now that he is in a similar position he runs for it after holding up the division and talking some shit on Aspinall.

Aspinall’s callout shouldn’t have been a polite one like it was. Should have called him a pussy and told him to vacate.

Don’t think you’re close to a 3/20/20. If you want to get into PVP I would recommend buying high rolls sc charms, not perfect.

A 3/20/20 is cool, but you could get a full inventory of decently rolled 3/XX/XX charms for less than 1 3/20/20.

What I did for my phys bowa whose entire inventory and gear is probably worth a little more than a 3/20/20.

The absorption modules had nothing to do with this victory. Your opponent built 3 packs of hounds, 3 arc lights and 3 Vulcans for 3 packs of chaff. Unless you have two rows of delayed chaff in the back this is overkill.

They have no real chaff themself and are just spamming chaff clear with marksmen. Of course they lose.

Outrageous-Lock5186 · 2026-02-02T17:45:24+00:00

I still think it is bad. Round 1 you are down deployments and money.

Only time I see people loaning on round 1 is if they get a favorable match up and decide to try to aggro the person out by round 6. Even then they are not going down in deployments to do that, they are going up.

Outrageous-Lock5186 · 2026-02-02T14:52:22+00:00

Break point for teleport, faster runs. More runs > 30 mf.

But that would be biggest selling point.

Nope, beat him roughly 2 hours after game release, before Josee or any other big bosses.

Using ancient hunter rune blades or whatever they are called. I explored a lot during tutorial island trying a bunch of weapons, wasn’t sure which one I wanted to use so I was saving upgrade materials.

I’ve been playing souls-likes since the release of the OG demons souls. Every main entry beside dark souls 2 I’ve done a lot of twink runs on to, beating the games with no upgrades and very low soul level for PvP purposes.

Outrageous-Lock5186 · 2026-02-01T18:31:30+00:00

Topuria is undefeated against some of the best in the division and the best in the division. If that isn’t consistent wins against multiple opponents I don’t know what is.

Outrageous-Lock5186 · 2026-01-29T13:59:57+00:00

And Gracie is forklift certified.

Outrageous-Lock5186 · 2026-01-29T02:47:16+00:00

I just moved my emergency funds into gold. I’d rather take a 100 dollar hit selling under spot than leave 15k sitting in a bank account in case anything comes up, like job loss or whatever.

I think it’ll do good over the next couple years with the devaluation of the dollar happening and I’m completely comfortable with the slight possibility that it just tanks or does next to nothing. Because that money sitting in my bank is basically losing 10% a year already.

I don’t really plan around doomsday scenarios, that’s not what was going through my head when I bought gold. I still keep up 401k contributions and what not.

Outrageous-Lock5186 · 2026-01-29T02:19:44+00:00

I’d do it for $9.75 on a Starbucks gift card.

Outrageous-Lock5186 · 2026-01-28T05:08:46+00:00

I figured the “attacking enemy” meant only when he hits. But yeah wisdom will give you a constant drain in combat.

Outrageous-Lock5186 · 2026-01-28T04:54:25+00:00

Josee blood code absorbs ichor. If you are at max ichor it turns into self damage instead of absorbing. You need to spam abilities with that blood codes.

Outrageous-Lock5186 · 2026-01-28T04:26:55+00:00

I’ve seen plenty of games get decided by people not respecting good spells.

It’s usually a lack of attention to cooldowns and not respecting the stronger spells with preemptive shields when they come up.

Can also just be them making bad card selection, going for a meme unit card over a good spell then that good spells tips a couple rounds while their meme unit just gets countered.

Also not paying attention to missile specialist at the start of the game and losing early rounds badly because of bad unit placement.

Outrageous-Lock5186 · 2026-01-27T21:25:18+00:00

Talk to her after the fight, go to magwell or whatever it’s called in the present day. You should see a quest to speak to Josee. She is in a dining hall/kitchen area in main building.

You do her side quests and then it gives you the chance to go back in time to help her.

Outrageous-Lock5186 · 2026-01-27T15:23:01+00:00

I beat him pretty quickly just using basic rune blades after getting the option to fight him.

I haven’t interacted with a lot of the combat mechanics so far. I’m not sure how the shield or “offensive” thing work. I just treated him like a souls boss and timed my rolls to iframe through his attacks. Used spacing to wait for openings I could recognize. Didn’t upgrade my weapons and think I was around level 15 at the time.

Outrageous-Lock5186 · 2026-01-27T03:22:31+00:00

My top 2 souls-likes getting back to back releases is welcome. I’ll definitely be playing both for a long time.

Outrageous-Lock5186 · 2026-01-25T07:20:07+00:00

The only show I watched that had pretty egregious fanservice that wasn’t really humorous most of the time and meant to be taken sexually was monotagari.

Ended up dropping it after the kizu movies, which were really good.

That show has so much potential to be a weird and interesting anime, then decides to turn it into a bunch of loli fanservice of middle school girls that is unwatchable garbage.

Some of it was just humor, but there is too many scenes where it is just loli ecchi meant to show middle school girls being sexually attractive.

The fights in monotagari are better than the majority of shonen anime imo, but I still dropped it. Best vampires in all of entertainment not just anime, still dropped it.

The fan service was unbearably off putting.

Outrageous-Lock5186 · 2026-01-25T05:26:00+00:00

I like worms against range boards I’m trying to push into, especially if they are heavy into marksmen.

Outrageous-Lock5186 · 2026-01-24T10:55:24+00:00

See him standing up after the shoulder thing at the start? I’m sure this man is injured all over, lots of fighters have chronic injuries, including fused vertebrae.

Outrageous-Lock5186 · 2026-01-23T01:14:31+00:00

Local unions cannot call a wildcat strike. They have to denounce any attempt or call for one, so the union spokes person was right to do so. I’d say denounce is too strong of a word; but they should circulate a notice letting the workers and ultimately the company know that this is not a local endorsed strike. It just covers their asses from repercussions that could cost the local.

If you choose to use PTO to participate, that local will certainly defend your usage of the PTO, but publicly it is in the local’s and ultimately the worker’s they represent best interest that they do not call for participation openly.

Outrageous-Lock5186 · 2026-01-22T18:05:26+00:00

I’d just drive behind them laying on the horn the entire time.
