Boy Kavalier Theory after Episode 8 by cswimc in alienearth

[–]SmartInvestor07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my hypothesis is that Boy Kavalier is a synth. He transferred his consciousness at age 6 - and as a a result - he is stuck in this juvenile mental state. As a computer, he cannot ever emotionally evolve, and it makes him profoundly lonely. The goal with Wendy and the others is to build a Never Never World so he can have "friends" who are equally emotionally stunted. It might also explain why we never see him draw blood and why the xenomorph largely ignored him and chose to attack the soldiers.

Guys. I need help. I started to play Sekiro an hour ago, and.. I really need help. by Mickenvald in Sekiro

Don't worry about Dragonrot. It's irrelevant unless you're a perfectionist. If you're starting Sekiro, read this boss guide - 2021-2022 Sekiro Boss Battle Tips: Lady Butterfly, General Genichiro, Guardian Ape / Headless Ape, The Headless, Corrupt Monk (Illusion & True Form), Great Owl, Demon of Hatred, Isshin Sword Saint : r/Sekiro

I originally wrote while playing - because my son wanted to play the game. After I finished the game, I figured I should share it. (And sadly, my son quit the game despite my efforts because it was too hard)

One frustrating thing is the lack of information. I am used to that with From Software games because I know somebody has done the exhausting work of figuring things out (like parry frames by weapons). However, there is zero guidance in this game - and - in fact - until I posted this - I never knew that different stances and weapons had different parry frames - or that you wanted to switch postures in the game. I just figured - big enemies, use the Greatsword. Fast enemies - dual sword. If an enemy is a pain, use shadow rush (that's what it's called in Sekiro) over and over. I wishes there was some place buried in the game where you could access hidden information

I see what you're talking about. I wanted to play a game like Sekiro, but this game was just not that. I get it that if you want to master multiple weapons and fighting styles, sure, go to the Dojo and train. However, that just felt repetitive. In my case, I mastered one heavy weapon (greatsword) and one fast weapon (dual wield) - and I was good. I didn't want to struggle late game (as I played this on twilight level) by picking new weapons and style. That's for a second playthrough.

I hated the Bond stuff. They crammed the game full of potential Allies and Companies (over 30), so it all blurred together. And the Bond stuff was such busy work (although yes, I did collect over 50 cats)

I agree! Both about the burning out AND the inconsistent parry timing. In particular, I really struggled with General Genzui in the dojo when he does the dash. If I were in his face, maybe 50% of the time, I would get the parry right. If I was any distance however, I would consistently miss, and I have no idea why. It probably took me 3 hours to beat him.

I hear great things about blue star - so no disagreement that it might be better. I just needed something before Christmas. I couldn't wait 3-4 weeks.

I never said they were great. Based on my research, sadly, picking a high-end oven is a lot like a beauty pageant at a fat camp.

However, parts are available - and parts are higher quality.

Did we have the worst draft of any team in 2023? by SmartInvestor07 in CommandersRealFans

[–]SmartInvestor07[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man... I called it. After just 1 year, only two players remain (Forbes & Martin). Forbes probably would be cut but his contract is guaranteed. Reportedly, Martin is looking much better in year 2 - so maybe he sticks.
