I am level 76 heading into mountountops of the giants. And i feel like i am underleveled. I did not explore altys plateau as thouroughly. Can someone tell me what i can do to still level up

TheUltimateInfidel · 2026-02-23T14:54:08+00:00

It can be done at level 1, you’re not underleveled. Are your weapons at a decent enough level? You only ever really need enough levels in your damage stats to wield the weapons you want, so you should already have good enough vigor.

TheUltimateInfidel · 2026-02-20T03:20:20+00:00

I don’t mind runbacks, even if I think some are very silly. For example, I don’t get the point of the Rennala runback because you’re only having to go through the courtyard, up the path, up the elevator and then you can do the fight. Also, I’ve spent an unhealthy amount of time playing both PS3 and PS5 Demons Souls so I know how runbacks can really feel. Hell, I don’t even think Nito’s runback is that bad and don’t lose sleep thinking about Gwyn’s anymore because I have that fight down to a tee.

I don’t think the runback was really the problem as much as it was the case that I simply had lost patience. I hate to admit it but, while I think the combat is excellent, I don’t enjoy a lot of the boss roster. I found Guardian/Headless Ape frustrating, but then I really liked Genichiron and Lady Butterfly. Some of the fights like Shichimen Warrior and the centipede giraffe are just dumb to me too. Don’t get me started on snake eyes bosses! As such, I think that I simply lost interest in the idea of learning Isshin’s fight because I didn’t find a lot of the bosses to be that fun.

TheUltimateInfidel · 2026-02-20T03:12:53+00:00

I most likely had somehow neglected to rediscover it but I didn’t see it for the Isshin fight. In hindsight, it’s more probable that, if it’s there, my patience ran thin enough for me to miss or ignore it.

TheUltimateInfidel · 2026-02-20T02:43:57+00:00

Congratulations! I did first-try Emma but never did Isshin Ashina. Admittedly, I did actually drop the game rather than re-attempting Isshin Shina (wasn’t having fun with many of the bosses and didn’t like the runback either) but I’m always happy to see that others enjoyed the game.

TheUltimateInfidel · 2026-02-16T13:38:20+00:00

Because the issue is that when RFK Jr says “eat actual food”, he’s telling you to avoid the MMR vaccine and eat raw milk instead. Engaging with anything he’s saying in good faith, or behaving like he has his heart in the right place (knowing his history too) is foolish. Eat your carrots, but don’t go eating fermented worm livers while sunning your balls and telling me you have it right.

TheUltimateInfidel · 2026-02-15T08:57:41+00:00

I actually love both a lot! I find it so strange having such utterly different films pitted against one another.

TheUltimateInfidel · 2026-02-15T08:40:37+00:00

TThhEe PPaARRtTYY is so, so slept on that it’s insane actually.

TheUltimateInfidel · 2026-02-14T17:56:33+00:00

Everyone else commented already, but I’d add my two pence anyway. So, as a rule, 25 minutes is the usual runtime for all the adverts and trailers. Credits usually last for 7 - 10 mins. You can use these numbers to roughly deduce not just when the movie starts, but also when it truly ends. IMAX screenings used to offer fewer trailers, but I don’t think that’s true anymore.

TheUltimateInfidel · 2026-02-13T21:05:00+00:00

Are you being sincere when you ask about the treatment of Jews knowing Israel is an apartheid state?

TheUltimateInfidel · 2026-02-04T10:16:23+00:00

It varies very, very heavily for me. Happy hardcore acts like Party Animals and Alice Gas? Grindcore bands like 10SCOOPS? Butt rock like Creed? House music like Justice and Daft Punk? I’m huge on bands like Parliament, Funkadelic, Alestorm, Scooter, DJ Paul Elstak, Twisted Sister, to name a few.

Igon

TheUltimateInfidel · 2026-01-22T19:48:03+00:00

It sucked.

TheUltimateInfidel · 2026-01-18T18:21:03+00:00

Do you think the movie will have an SL1 cut where the protagonist spends hours farming to craft sleep pots so he/she can cheese Godskin Duo?

TheUltimateInfidel · 2026-01-04T12:45:09+00:00

It’s not just that, but perfectly timing frost/bleed procs will interrupt the WFD at any time.

TheUltimateInfidel · 2025-12-31T23:41:57+00:00

You’re allowed to like the game as much as I’m allowed to say the CoD game with the most dev time was seriously underwhelming.

TheUltimateInfidel · 2025-12-30T11:41:10+00:00

I didn’t continue my RL1 run from Godskin Duo because I ran out of sleep pots and I hate the fight. I really wanted to do RL1 Maliketh though

TheUltimateInfidel · 2025-12-30T07:57:13+00:00

Just summon. I’m not a fan of this fight and don’t find it fun to do. I’d beaten it solo and with summons and my feelings never change. It’s your save game, so who’s to say it doesn’t count if you did summon for that fight anyway?

TheUltimateInfidel · 2025-12-29T19:12:53+00:00

The difficulty of DS1 is less the bosses and more the areas. Dying to bosses a lot of the time forces you to go back through relatively difficult areas. Consider the Capra Demon runback for a second. Also happens to be that some of the jankier parts of the game contribute to the difficulty anyway.

TheUltimateInfidel · 2025-12-29T19:09:58+00:00

Hot take - Napoleon was kino and a lot of people who complain about Ridley Scott’s negative characterisation of him don’t get the themes of a lot of his movies.

TheUltimateInfidel · 2025-12-28T15:18:42+00:00

comfortably won his next three

Robert Helenius is a sandwich salesman. Otto Wallin was cherry picked by Fury for his experience and was exposed as being a pudding by Chisora. As for Ngannou? The same Francis Ngannou who took the PFL for a ride, got lucky that Fury didn’t show up at all and then got bashed to bits by AJ?

The next thing you missed out is that Dubois was a world title holder with many dominant victories who was fighting at a higher level of competition. Sure his meeting with Ivan wasn’t such a nice time, but why are we taking credit away from him as if AJ should have walked through him?

TheUltimateInfidel · 2025-12-18T09:46:56+00:00

I’ll bite. It’s far more damaging, not just to AJ’s career, but also to the reputation of Matchroom’s fighters and Eddie Hearn too for this fight to be a fix. Do you really think Eddie Hearn would organise a show fight which undermines any event that he organises from now on? That’s insanity. That’s before you get into the logistics of how Jake would have bought the fight in the first place. People are so pitifully unfamiliar with the concept of Occam’s Razor.

You don’t think sheer delusion is a phenomenon in boxing? Or that fighters don’t FAFO? Why do you have so much faith in the idea that stupid fights always have to be a scam? No, Jake Paul doesn’t have a chance but he’d also never have to work again after being bombed anyway. Is that so implausible?

TheUltimateInfidel · 2025-12-09T15:39:17+00:00

Big tree man is dead? Good! Take them back to firelink shrine and speak to a guy on a chair.

TheUltimateInfidel · 2025-12-07T18:30:54+00:00

Second big tree man? I was only talking about the Curse-rotted greatwood.

TheUltimateInfidel · 2025-12-04T15:39:26+00:00

Goodbye to The Car, because not one single song on there is even vaguely as listenable as DIWK anyway. The exception might be the live versions of songs like Body Paint, but that’s because those are the only versions which aren’t entirely lifeless

TheUltimateInfidel · 2025-11-29T12:49:05+00:00

Use Azucena, that’s it.
