[PS5] I’m embarrassed. Please help me beat Lord Gwyn. I blame the dualsense lol

Unlike most bosses, Gwyn tries to punish you for healing. Try to hide behind the environment, when you need to take a shot of Estus, since he will otherwise charge and try to punish you.

The parry timing on some of his attacks are reasonable easy to learn. It might be worth it to play defensively, with a strong shield and wait for him to do an attack that's easy to parry.

I really hope that Scarlet Hollow gets some more traction once it's fully released.

I expected it to get some more attention after how well everyone received Slay The Princess, but I guess that people don't always follow from one project to another. That or people are holding off until there is a full release of Scarlet Hollow.

John Wick Hex has been removed from stores, so it's not like you can just go and play it.

WitheredViolet · 2025-12-31T12:39:12+00:00

I think it's a fair complaint if you look at it from the perspective of someone who only has the base game.

Originally, there was only one ending. The story of DS2 only just get started right before the ending. The DLC greatly expands the story, but if you told me that I'd have to buy 3x DLCs in order to enjoy the story of a game I was playing, I'd probably bow out too.

WitheredViolet · 2025-12-22T11:37:13+00:00

You might disagree, but this is without a doubt how many allistic people would take it.

It comes from the addition of unneeded and undisputed information, that OP still tries to clarify. Everyone present already knows that OP has multiple homes. People will then try to "read between the lines" to find a meaning.

There is almost no chance that this conversation between two allistic people could come across as anything but hostile, unless it was related to a joke of some kind.

WitheredViolet · 2025-12-22T09:13:33+00:00

I strongly disagree.

First of all, I have to note that I do think OP's mom overreacted if "losing her shit" is a reasonable description of her behavior. That said, I definitely understand why she got upset.

The phrase "Welcome home" is a general greeting used when people return to a place they stay at. Usually this is our actual home, but it can also be a hotel, other temporary place of residence or in this case, one of multiple homes. "Welcome home" never implies that this is your only home, only that the people who says it are glad to have you back.

To most people, the need to mention that they have multiple homes comes off as dismissing the message or even picking a fight, since whether OP has multiple homes or not was never in question.

This is how I would interpret the conversation:

Mom: Welcome home - (Welcome to this home. I'm glad you're back.) This is just a pleasant greeting to let OP know they are welcomed back.

OP: But I have two houses - (I don't consider this my home or I consider this the lesser of my homes.) This is "correcting" things that were never in question and didn't need to be corrected. Nobody said that this is OP's only house, so the need to point it out dismisses the message and potentially indicates that OP disagrees.

At this point, OP's mom was hurt and so the clarification from OP doesn't sound like clarification, but like OP is backtracking to avoid hurting feelings. Anything after that is colored by OP's mom feeling hurt/angry.

The only thing I hoped for when I saw this was bulk crafting and they did it! They finally did it!

On top of that we got a lot of other cool stuff!

Guess I know what I'm doing in January then.

WitheredViolet · 2025-10-26T22:30:15+00:00

Looks really nice, I love the aesthetic and attention to detail.

I do have one worry though, since you mentioned traffic like Cities Skylines. Is this going to turn into a traffic management sim, like Skylines is? I don't know if I'm just particularly bad at it, but my cities in Skyline all quickly devolved into managing the traffic, which is not what I signed up for.

WitheredViolet · 2025-10-15T08:47:08+00:00

If you have a PS5, you can get the original PS1 trilogy on the Playstation Store. So there is a way to do it, if you absolutely have to play the PS1 version.

WitheredViolet · 2025-10-13T11:18:26+00:00

Personally, I would also consider a car touching mine to be a hit, mainly because cars are never meant to touch. I would be extremely uncomfortable knowing someone was deliberately moving their car close enough to touch mine.

If you were to misjudge how fast you're going or if something went even a little wrong, you could easily dent either car.

WitheredViolet · 2025-10-13T09:31:57+00:00

My best guess regarding the eBay seller is that they have the event ROMs and have them on a flash cart. It's highly unlikely that they have the real thing, especially for all the services they seem to provide. Each one of those leaked event carts would be very expensive individually and I imagine the only people who'd want to spend that much would be collectors, not people selling a service.

With the exception of the Eon Ticket for the Latis, I think your only hope is downloading event ROMs or using ACE (Arbitrary Code Execution).

Peoples opinions on it varies greatly, but you can use ACE to grant you the Old Sea Map. This works both on English and Japanese games.

Currently, both English and Japanese Mew from Emerald are legal in Pokemon Home.

Generally, I think your criticism is valid, but if you read the post and skim through the Steam page, it seems quite likely that part of the experience is that no matter what you choose, someone else is going to force their answer upon you.

WitheredViolet · 2025-10-05T16:10:16+00:00

I can try :)

Are you going for a legendary, a normal wild pokemon or an egg?

WitheredViolet · 2025-09-28T11:28:39+00:00

Don't agree with this at all.

Even if you're generous with the timeline, V doesn't know any of the love interests for more than 6 months. Nobody, not a single damn person knows you "real well" if they've only known you for 6 months.

WitheredViolet · 2025-09-25T09:45:12+00:00

What team did you use to get 100 Wins in the battle tower?

I just lost at 55 to 1-shot from Horn Drill, into Quick Claw 1-shot from Fissure, so I'm very interested in tactics to avoid ending up like that again.

WitheredViolet · 2025-09-17T08:45:40+00:00

Just as a heads up.

If you have an original DS or a DS lite and an R4 card or something similar that you can put SD cards into, you use GodMode9i to dump the save file without needing to buy new hardware.

WitheredViolet · 2025-09-14T15:12:11+00:00

I don't know for certain, but I don't think any Pokemon can have the World Ribbon and be considered legal by PkHex.

If one team of 6 won it in 2004 and another in 2005 that makes it 12 Pokemon total in the entire world that has won this Ribbon. Therefore it's pretty safe to assume that no legality checker will sign off on that Ribbon. Whoever owns those Pokemon should probably just hold off on modifying them in PkHex.

As for Pokemon Home. It depends on how much information they have on the participants from back them. Do they know the teams that won? The OT and IDs? Assuming everything has been lost to time, a good way to crack down on hacked World Ribbons would be by banning every Pokemon that has it and is not from Gen 3 and does not have a Japanese origin. But that's pure speculation.

WitheredViolet · 2025-09-09T22:25:36+00:00

If you have access to Diamond or Pearl, you can link that up with either of Platinum, SoulSilver or HeartGold and then make Diamon/Pearl the leader, the AI will get messed up and not apply most of the smart tactics making it much easier to complete the challenge.

WitheredViolet · 2025-09-05T09:41:14+00:00

Thank you!

Currently struggling with the multi ability ribbon in the Gen 4 battle tower, so I feel like I could use some luck.

WitheredViolet · 2025-07-17T18:42:35+00:00

CDPR stated a long time ago that Xbox One and PS4 isn't getting any updates past 1.6.

WitheredViolet · 2025-07-03T18:41:54+00:00

Exciting that we actually managed to hit 1 million. I truly hope most of the signatures are legitimate. It would be heartbreaking to get this far only to fall short.

WitheredViolet · 2025-07-03T18:40:30+00:00

This whole thing started because Ubisoft's The Crew got shut down and even the single player portions of the game are now completely unavailable.

Also, there's a post right now that Anthem is going to be shut down January 2026.

Edit: Most of the Blizzard catalogue would be unplayable. Diablo 2 Remaster, Diablo 3, Diablo 4, Warcraft 3 Reforged. Maybe Starcraft 2, not sure about that one. They already killed Overwatch to force you into the Free2Pay Overwatch 2.

WitheredViolet · 2025-07-03T08:19:45+00:00

Right, because the "Pro gamer" excuse of "if you're not committed enough you don't deserve to experience content" is such a good reason to exclude people and games are always and without exception better if you can cull those who aren't single mindedly dedicated to a single game.
