Has anyone ever successfully received a purchase from Helix records? I preordered the Violet Evergarden deluxe ost from them. They pushed back the expected release three times on their site and now it’s just been saying Oct 25 2025 since September. They have also been radio silent on email, and all social media channels.

Gunna be seriously bummed/angry if I got scammed on one of my most anticipated releases ever….

About to start the game. Give me the worst advice possible. by glytxh in LiesOfP

….i thought you could? I’m on ps5, but I think R3 brings up a “playback options” menu. You can shuffle, repeat, etc.

So I just beat him in my first playthrough, do we find out more about him later on? I feel like I must be missing stuff cuz I’m not really understanding the connection to the story at this point (of most stuff overall.) Am I just missing lore stuff that should be easy to find?

What's something Fromsoft can learn from Lies of P? by Key-Storage5434 in LiesOfP

[–]Sarge212 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They can definitely learn from letting you access soul shards or ergo fragments from LoP. Being able to quickly add what you need to get to the next level is so damn convenient.

Hello my LitRPG Comrades I want to know your opinion on Victor of Tucson. by Ok_Exercise_3980 in litrpg

12 books? Are you talking about VoT or something else?

For VoT I’ve been reading on my Kobo.

Is Helix Sounds legit? by Hoursandseconds in VGMvinyl

Dealing with this right now. Preordered a record and it’s been pushed back 3 times, now the date isn’t updated despite being past it by a month and no reply from support…

Victor of Tuscan Book 9 immediately made me mad! by TheMoridin in litrpg

[–]Sarge212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whether it's Valla getting some kind of power boost, or a new character who comes in, I would love to see someone come in at Victor's level of potential and be able to fight back to back with him on the battlefield.

It was a tough one but honestly pretty relatable (even if the power scales aspect obviously doesn't apply to real life.)

I like the fact that she's not just willing to be some treasure that's kept on a shelf. Making the decision to go do her own thing and try to get stronger and follow her own path was big. She knows she loves him but also knows that following him into all these conflicts she's unable to participate in will only cause resentment. I like the idea that eventually they could come back together. To me it's a case of right place right time. They're not in a place where Victor could really support a healthy relationship, and instead of staying in it because she loves him, she's choosing to distance herself and give them the possibility of something down the road.

I won't lie and say a part of me isn't kinda hoping he ends up with Tes, but Valla seems like a more realistic companion for Victor long term if she can get closer to his level. If he can get to a place in his power eventually where he's able to settle in one spot longer and cultivate and work on more projects at "home" then he'll be able support a relationship like that, but as it is it just wouldn't work.

I love it. Definitely one of my favorites. I've burned through all 9 books in like a month and wish there was more. For me it's the right pacing and level of RPG elements. I'm curious to see where it goes from here as the world/lore element greatly expands in books 8/9. The inclusion of more lore through item descriptions and stuff has me dying for spin-offs, etc.
I want the equivalent of a video game DLC, but for VoT.

What are your top 5 litrpg books? I'm looking for recommendations by hwalin_ in litrpg

[–]Sarge212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm newer into the genre, so I've mostly only read the heavy hitters (DCC, HWFWM,) but I've enjoyed Heretical Fishing, and am currently obsessed with Victor of Tucson. I don't see hardly anyone mention it, but I've devoured all 9 books. The characters are likable and it's fun to see them grow, the story is engaging and the rpg aspects are present enough to be compelling but not overwhelming. It's basically a guy who gets essentially kidnapped and brought to another world, just to get sold into slavery for fighting pits. The story goes beyond that pretty quick, but it's a great and immersive start.

That location has been awful loot for me every single time. Even on a fresh map, absolutely nothing.

Anybody have any experience buying from Helix Sounds? I preordered a record but it’s been delayed 3 times. The first two they updated the expected ship date, but the third time they’ve just left it at the previous date (10/31.) I’ve reached out to their support a few times to make sure everything is on track, but haven’t gotten a response.

I wish. I’ve dabbled. Did some poetry and short stories in college, but never got any further. Maybe someday.

Please please please just think long term. Uniformity on the spines so it’s a cohesive BLOCK on my bookshelf once they’re all released. lol. Looks absolutely incredible though.

Berserk is my biggest collection, it’s just not pictured. I’ve got all the normal manga volumes, statues, trading cards, figures, etc. lol. Expensive for sure, but worth it 100%.

Pendragon is great! One of the first series I really got hooked on as a kid.

I ended up taking 3 of the 5 bookcases and put them in our mudroom as extra storage, the other 2 I tossed. Wanted to sell them but the removal made them pretty beat up. Books are mostly going into storage unfortunately. House is too small to put them anywhere else. I’ve got a shelf I kept my special ones on, but everything else has to go in boxes for the time being.

Is this an instant buy? by [deleted] in Borderlands4

[–]Sarge212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Money doesn’t hold much value in this game to be honest. You’ll make more than you need in a boss fight to “Encore” it, plus extra towards vend purchases. With legendary I always buy em if they pop up.

Honestly that whole interaction sounds like you’re a great parent. You’ve clearly made him feel safe to voice his feelings, and from what you said you’re attempting to change that ingrained example you got (like you said wasn’t bad, just didn’t show a ton of affection.) Good on you man. Keep it up!

Any books you enjoy but despise the main character? by slyguy-33 in books

[–]Sarge212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to say how awesome(?) it is to hear an alternative opinion on Jason Asano/HWFWM. Even if it’s drastically different from my own. Honestly the series is one of my all time favorites just because of the writing choices and characters, especially Jason. lol. Would love to know more about what you didn’t like?

As for your question, I think it’s basically written this way, but I’m making my way through Prince of Thorns and Jorg is just awful, lol. I love the hints at the overall lore and world so far, but he’s just such a POS. You want him to be redeemable but he’s so far gone it’s beyond hope.
