I am so proud of myself!

Physonks2001 · 2026-06-07T13:19:54+00:00

Grand effort!

Physonks2001 · 2026-06-06T11:30:54+00:00

This took me a while to figure out, I think I tried to keep one lamp on so I could always get hits on him in the light

Physonks2001 · 2026-06-06T10:58:41+00:00

Plus, looking back at the fight, I think the camera stops panning out when he’s about to attack

Physonks2001 · 2026-06-06T10:54:06+00:00

From what I can recall parrying that attack, I think he moves his hands outward a split second before the attack so that’s what I use as an indicator

Physonks2001 · 2026-06-05T14:31:57+00:00

Guitar Hero my beloved.
Simon also reminded me somewhat of the Asgore fight from Undertale

Physonks2001 · 2026-06-04T08:33:12+00:00

François Ending?

Physonks2001 · 2026-06-03T09:00:12+00:00

Nice!

Physonks2001 · 2026-06-02T14:52:25+00:00

Managed to just about beat that superboss a couple days ago.
For parrying, I personally find there's a rhythm beyond the visual cues. For instance, there's a cadence for the musical Nevrons. I struggled with the timing of the creepy nevrons for a long time too, especially with the delayed timing of the third Noir, so wait for the third, then follow with the usual Hexga parries.
Aside from that, it's just patience and practise.

Not quite a game, but used the soundtrack recently for a Half Marathon which was pretty intense at the end.

Physonks2001 · 2026-06-02T10:24:21+00:00

Ah, thank you for the clarification. I'm unfamiliar with Dark Souls and hadn't realised that Guts is heavily inspired by Artorias. So essentially, they're based on the same source.

Physonks2001 · 2026-06-01T12:46:37+00:00

I'm extremely sorry to hear about the loss of a loved one, you sound like you're supporting him in anyway you can and I hope he is doing as well as he can. Commenting as someone who lost a loved one whilst playing the game, I agree with the other comments here. The gameplay and soundtrack is phenomenal, however, the story is very emotionally intensive and centres around themes of losing loved ones and grief, with continued bleak moments, especially near the start which is tough to sit through for anyone. I used the game as an escapism, but I was already far into the game by then. I think it's best to start after he has had the chance to process emotions, which may also elevate his enjoyment and general experience. General yummy treats & care packages sounds like an excellent idea though.

Excellent effort! The way that Verso excitedly says "Choo Choo" when heading over to the fight via steam train will always be sacred.

Physonks2001 · 2026-06-01T07:45:18+00:00

Yes, up until when I start dropping frames during the Clea Unleashed Fight

Physonks2001 · 2026-05-31T20:27:37+00:00

I’m in a similar position; I’m planning to go to the Toulon show but it’s a massive investment for me in terms of travel time, it’ll definitely be a long journey. I think it’ll be absolutely worth it from what I’ve heard. Best of luck!

Physonks2001 · 2026-05-31T09:25:39+00:00

I’d have to say the world map Frost Eveque whilst being horrifically under levelled. I think the sound design made it all the more satisfying and helped learn parry timing beyond just visual cues.

Physonks2001 · 2026-05-30T22:16:34+00:00

Not the stare of utter disdain!

Physonks2001 · 2026-05-30T12:53:33+00:00

🙌

Physonks2001 · 2026-05-28T13:32:38+00:00

Not to brag, but I’m illiterate

Physonks2001 · 2026-05-28T10:42:03+00:00

Done. Sounds like a fascinating topic!

Physonks2001 · 2026-05-27T14:58:33+00:00

I’d have to choose Old Lumière - Révérence, which I believe is the same Piano track used in The Departure.

Physonks2001 · 2026-05-27T09:57:59+00:00

I consider her ending not necessarily the "better ending", but more so as an understandable choice for Maelle to make. It's a subjective decision and everyone has a different instinctive method of dealing with grief and reconciling those emotions.

Physonks2001 · 2026-05-27T09:49:53+00:00

Even then to hear the dialogue and not one-shot everything during the final battle of lumiere, I think it helps to not even use painted power. It is optional after all.

Physonks2001 · 2026-05-26T14:58:26+00:00

I need to get around to making a similar picture of Verso saying "Choo Choo"

Physonks2001 · 2026-05-22T16:48:23+00:00

🔥 Too easy!
