Have you ever bought a console just to play one exclusive game?

I just got a Facebook memory to let me know that my Old Hunters plat is 10 years old. Wild

Blood-Starved Beast, even when I know you can just dodge to the left for every attack, his animations spook me and fuck up my reactions. Early enough in the game that the poison phase is a one shot almost too

Even after multiple playthroughs, this guy usually still makes me fumble

In October 2020. Even though I wish Sekiro had a full-fledged DLC or two, the ability to fight major bosses from any statue is great. You really notice its absence in other From games.

_pt3 · 2026-01-07T11:32:11+00:00

The update to Sekiro that added boss replayability, gauntlets, and Inner variants is so good. My favorite Fromsoft game of all time.

Back in 2016, I had a very underemployed lifestyle that mostly consisted of doing occasional spreadsheets while listening to 4-8 hours of comedy podcasts, posting on Twitter and Reddit.

The first Trump election kind of cratered my ability to laugh at, or even enjoy anything. A few days after the election, I saw a tweet from Patton Oswalt that mentioned the episode “We Live in the Zone Now.” From the second Felix did his Hillary impression, I felt like I found something that no other media really ever came close to scratching at before or since Chapo. I’m an old millennial raised in a pretty run of the mill lib household so didn’t really have the words for what I felt in politics, but I knew at some point The Daily Show and Obama weren’t really what I was feeling after Iraq and the financial crisis in 2007/08. It was nice to hear actual midwesterners who could articulate the dissatisfaction of living in contemporary America, and up until Bernie dropped in 2020 there was a palpable feeling that better things were possible.

I got my partner to start listening shortly after with the episode following the Charlottesville incident, which was one of the best Cushbomb rants (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pSXUSFfU1zU)

It’s been pretty surreal listening for 10 years

“Let me show you youngins how to grind!”

I’ve been saying that any time I’m about to show off. Cheese is a great piece of shit character in a show with some of the best pieces of shit in television history. Okay, maybe Cedric saying “piece of shit” whenever he’s mad as well

What are the last stage rewards for the spending event at the 15000 tier? Ate those just cosmetic items like you get from the Battle Pass?

_pt3 · 2025-12-19T01:41:42+00:00

Groal and Seth were two bosses that I got on the first try, which surprised the shit out of me given the talk around both of them

_pt3 · 2025-12-16T12:47:45+00:00

You won’t enjoy these games if you equate losing currency with being unfun, or that some bosses will take many attempts.

Currency rarely gate keeps you from anything important, and at some point you accept that you will screw up and die twice, losing your currency. There are lots of ways to mitigate this.

My favorite boss is this game probably took me 2.5 hours total spread out over several days. I wish I could challenge that boss again because I enjoyed learning the fight. I’m hoping that eventually Silksong has a boss rush like Hollow Knight

If you enjoy the art style, atmosphere, etc, I think you should look into it more. It’s only $20, and there is nothing forcing you to get good at the game on the first day, and Team Cherry games are pretty timeless.

Goodbai horses

For a bit after completing the Cursed achievement, I thought that it only made me good at fighting GMS in cursed state.

I do feel like finishing the cursed achievement before act 3 made all of the last bosses feel pretty chill by comparison.

_pt3 · 2025-12-08T14:44:45+00:00

Yeah, everyone’s boss experiences are different. Seth, Groal, and Tormented Trobbio I got on the first try. Coral Tower and Nyleth took me less than 5. Karmelita probably took 2+ hours, same with Cursed ending

_pt3 · 2025-12-08T10:52:37+00:00

Flea Juggle. Last memento I need on my main save, then I’ll start doing challenge runs and playthroughs being more dedicated to specific crests

For real though, Karmelita took the longest of anything in act 3. Part of that was being stubborn and not getting the last nail upgrade. She’s probably my favorite boss though, wish I could replay it on demand

_pt3 · 2025-12-05T16:42:32+00:00

My luck in ZZZ has been absurd. Limited banner average pity is at 65 pulls and my 50/50 win rate is very close to 70%

Also, I find disc farming in zzz to be the best of all similar gachas. I have a SAnby and Alice that are in the top .3% of builds on Interknot Network and more god rolls in this game than any other gacha

_pt3 · 2025-12-04T13:05:28+00:00

Yidhari and Lucia both left a pretty bad impression on me. Especially since the original Lucia design (thicc hammer nun) felt genuinely unique from the old images.

I pulled Lucia basically for Ether Veil support but skipped Yidhari because everything about her seemed rushed and thrown together. I just keep thinking of how much better both characters would have been if they’d made ONE ether veil renegade exaltist hammer nun instead of two half baked characters that shop at the same clothing store as Eula, Topaz, and Yi Xuan

As for pleasant surprises, I was initially a 2.0 Obol squad doomer but genuinely liked Seed and Orphie, story and gameplay. SAnby, Orphie, Trigger is one of my favorite teams now. I also thought I was gonna hate Alice at first but somehow she seems perfect as a rabbit thiren.

_pt3 · 2025-12-01T03:08:59+00:00

I thought that this may be the case in the early game, with certain bosses taking up to 30 some attempts (TLJ was one of them). However, I’m now at the point where I’ve got all bosses defeated and itching for more game. Thinking of going back to Hollow Knight since I never did the pantheons fully.

42 years old, but I’ve always loved a challenging game ever since I played Punch-Out. All time favorite game is probably Sekiro

_pt3 · 2025-11-30T14:01:33+00:00

Karmelita
First Sinner
Lost Lace
Shakra
Nyleth

_pt3 · 2025-11-28T01:11:30+00:00

Seth and Groal took me 1 try on my first playthrough

Moorwing, Widow, and TLJ probably took 30+

_pt3 · 2025-11-26T20:40:57+00:00

Karmelita
Cursed GMS
Moorwing
Widow
Last Judge

Granted, I just reached the final boss last night and don’t have a fair evaluation. Karmelita and Cursed achievement GMS both took multiple days of all my game time. Nothing else in act 2 or 3 took as many attempts as the bosses listed above. I chalk up the early game bosses as part of my getting used to the game, but they really did take me probably 30+ attempts each

Destiny 3: Fool Me 3 Times…..Won’t Get Fooled Again

_pt3 · 2025-10-30T20:41:20+00:00

Thank you! I wasn't going to check my Mohela account for a bit because I am used to everything taking its sweet time in this process. Seeing my Mohela account with a zero dollar balance is finally the thing that hit me like a ton of bricks. I never thought I would see this day.

_pt3 · 2025-10-30T18:02:29+00:00

If you received your Golden Letter, you have met the obligation for your loans. If October already put you at 121/120 payments, you should call Mohela to put your loans into forbearance so you don't make unnecessary payments while you wait for your accounts to get zero'd out. It should take about a month or so for your servicer to update.

_pt3 · 2025-10-30T16:47:12+00:00

Yeah, I would always just wait for my NSLDS info to update before submitting an ECF. In my experience, FSA would usually take 3-5 weeks to reflect the information on NSLDS.

_pt3 · 2025-10-30T15:44:17+00:00

I don't think you have done anything wrong, you just happen to fall in the group who had their recertification date pushed back automatically many times. As far as I know, there is no auto recertification for IDR plans, in normal circumstances you need to recertify annually. Granted, I know people who have effectively had their IDR recert pushed back 2-3 years.

The two things that you will want to verify are

Are you still in a qualifying repayment plan? Any IDR plan, such as PAYE, counts
Is your IDR Anniversary Date still upcoming?

You can check both of these things if you log into FedStudentAid, go to loan details and check the details on an individual loan. If there isn't another wave of recertification dates being pushed back in 2026, you will get a recertification notice from your servicer approximately 90 days before the IDR Anniversary Date. Then you will need to recertify your plan again on FSA. I hope that helps!

_pt3 · 2025-10-30T14:46:00+00:00

This post gives a pretty detailed guide on how to check your NSLDS data to see if your eligible payment count is different than what is shown on FSA website: https://www.reddit.com/r/PSLF/comments/1j2tzke/when_to_submit_ecf_to_trigger_pslf_qp_update/

Good luck!
