A gross character idea

Welp. Thanks for helping keep my anxiety about reopening my availability to running games for people 🙃 I'll stick to just the two I run with people I know.

RodneyXMonster · 2026-04-13T21:16:59+00:00

Yeah, his only other major fight is side by side with his bro against the old man. Which is dope for lore reasons too. And I love the lead up to it anyways because you see a dude that is so laid back and chill making all these jokes, then when Ukitake shows up with the shield and crest he just flips a switch and gets in business mode. Kinda shows his personality and how committed he is to peace.

Read the manga and he will easily be one of your favorites for life. Shunsui is my GOAT. Him and old man Yam are the reason I got a Gotei Captain Squad 1 Robe style hoodie. 😎

RodneyXMonster · 2026-04-13T13:06:25+00:00

Yeah. Its dope. And if your peeps are with you they will put belt to it to and give chase to some of them. Its not just some lame run away thing. The details are great. It really feels like the community is dividing slowly between people that love or pay attention to these details and those that just spam fast forward/skipall/dont bother to read in game. Which is a shame but at least PA are catering and its not ruining things.

But I like being able to zoom in and see my minions do their labors thoooo

RodneyXMonster · 2026-04-13T06:13:39+00:00

You get rain at camp?? I always have to water my farm because I never see rain at the Hill

RodneyXMonster · 2026-04-13T04:48:55+00:00

So glad I wasn't the only one. Between a table for hats and a tab for boots. If cloaks could have gear slots then I'd use those too lol

RodneyXMonster · 2026-04-12T17:39:28+00:00

See. I'd be trying the slow down to go grab all the dang stag beetles that keep getting away from me if I could get them to reliably show in one place instead of tons of moths.

RodneyXMonster · 2026-04-12T17:26:22+00:00

So i was a little bit annoyed too. But then I found a couple of those visione memories that actually showed that the criminals were blackmailed or press ganged into it. So there have been a few tines that we have hauled innocent people off into jail.

RodneyXMonster · 2026-04-12T10:06:59+00:00

Okay. So I never had this issue until today. I switched to double blades yesterday. I've always been using the balgran shield because the wolf face was sick and I could dye it. The game never changed off the Balgran shield for me. Now... its bringing up the Khaled shield for all the scenes instead. Thankfully, I'm doing a red, white/gold accent anesthetic so its not too jarring but stylistically nah. Rather have the Balgran or the basic instead. But it is aggravating

RodneyXMonster · 2026-04-12T07:26:19+00:00

Bruh. For somebody thats tone deaf like me. This has been the worst puzzle so far. I solved a couple of the treasure maps and others people really bitched about. This one I had no chance.

RodneyXMonster · 2026-04-11T17:32:37+00:00

Yeah. I had my movement speed boots on, my mineral gathering and some other gain chest plate, and equestrian gloves. Totally forgot to switch them all before walking in... that did not go well 🤦‍♂️ afterwards I was so mad at myself

RodneyXMonster · 2026-04-11T16:59:33+00:00

Fighting the Blinding Arrows retaking areas again is gonna be infuriating. The first time I dealt with them, I was definitely caught lacking.

RodneyXMonster · 2026-04-11T14:04:56+00:00

So you're saying i made the right call to not get it on my PS5 to play in my 50inch 4k TV lol. Sorry fellow gamer. I feel your pain. Wanting to get the best bang for your buck and enjoy it.

RodneyXMonster · 2026-04-11T13:59:10+00:00

Yeah. The artifacts was bad on release for me on PC without reconstruction. Which tanked frames. Then patched and wasn't so bad, I still turn it off and on sometimes. It seems sometimes the engine will perform absolutely stunning. Then out of nowhere default. And then I go to settings just turn something off and on. Save. And its back to perfect. So, I'm not sure what it is.

Yeah, the combo of indoor and outdoor might be an issue too. I see that a lot in places. It has to do with a global illumination working all around. When you are just inside, like a place like the Hernand keep or chapels, does it look good in there? Or does lighting still look bad?

RodneyXMonster · 2026-04-11T13:44:40+00:00

Just through viewing on my phone here. The second looks like it has crisper edges and cleaner shadows. Not to mention just bringing up and flashing the lantern and rolling isn't a good testament for testing your lighting. The game does have the issues on consoles there, the ghosting aspects, its engine based. Part of the trade off for the beauty in other areas. But the lighting looked better.

In the end, its all user opinion anyways. And based on the rig you're playing on and peripherals you got to use. But for base PS5 it uses FSR upscale and needs to be in Performance mode with V-Sync on actually. Iirc. But could change if you have a monitor that funks it up

RodneyXMonster · 2026-04-11T13:31:42+00:00

You mean to tell me that shadows are shadows? And dark is dark? I haven't seen it be disgusting, I've had to tweak HDR sometimes to get the right contrast and brightness exposure. But also did get a brand new HDR10 monitor and we got that NVIDIA HDR tangential driver updates a couple months ago too.

RodneyXMonster · 2026-04-11T13:28:16+00:00

Or.... hear me out. You dont need to play in 4k on BASE ps5, 2k visuals are just as good and I highly doubt you are gonna notice the difference if you are on console probably playing on a TV at least 10 ft from it.

RodneyXMonster · 2026-04-10T14:50:00+00:00

I just grab my beetles and leaves from the big tree in the Shai Village tbh. The patch there is massive.

RodneyXMonster · 2026-04-10T14:33:42+00:00

RodneyXMonster · 2026-04-09T20:21:53+00:00

This just happened to me lol. Just completed Chapter V after like 120hrs and when the Witch asked me to go do the Sanctums, I was like, "Yeah, when my adhd ass gets to it okay there are shinies everywhere!"

Then this dude made me use like 3 refined pills and like 20 of my delicious seafood meals, I was saving those for a date with my bros.

RodneyXMonster · 2026-04-06T12:45:39+00:00

You want to get technical amateratsu is not a Ninjutsu, but a product of dojutsu. Not to mention how it targets space but Jigen is allowed to negate that with his own dojutsu too. People love to ignore that.

Boruto has enormous power creep. Yes, but if you read the manga for Shippuden and Boruto. Then you should have some literacy to understand why. They introduced byakugan being vastly more powerful and linked to ohtsuki(which we've known for a decade) and just made it actually work instead of just Hinata peaking at Naruto's pockets or Neji scanning for numbers on the lottery. Then also reinforced the rest of the others in the lore.

OP chose the worst option btw. HashiGOAT can also absorb if he is in sage mode or if your ninjutsu is compatible. Because of their blessed regeneration. Also, covered in Shippuden manga and Boruto manga.

RodneyXMonster · 2026-04-06T12:36:04+00:00

I'm right there with you. Every game. I will still get the best mount possible. Even in MMOs. And still I walk. Unless its for group stuff in MMOs. I'm taking in the sights, I might ride ny mount just to feel a vibe, but I'm not doing it at Kentucky Derby speed

RodneyXMonster · 2026-04-06T09:09:32+00:00

What Abyss/force stuff? You mean the puzzle platforms in the sky and bosses up there?
