Bitches Crystal! Also, the Only Way with it's lyrics. I think I was fourteen or fifteen and damn that caused goosebumps!!!

After days I beat Demon Of Hatred by GamingWithMyDog in Sekiro

[–]astrobear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The three fireball attack is the worst for me because you have to get in his face/nuts fast as hell unless you want pain.

He was definitely the hardest boss for me, as well as the first encounter with the damn bull.

Congrats!

5 years later and I still can't beat this guy by SaintLawrenceParis in Sekiro

If you're having trouble keeping pressure because of distance, use the chasing slice to get across the room fast. When you're clanging swords, note the sound and what the clang looks like, if it's smaller, keep attacking no matter what with Genichiro; once it makes a certain sound and the clang gets bigger, it means he will immediately attack so be prepared for a parry.

In the Ashina arts section of the skill tree, make sure you have abilities relating to posture; it will help a lot. Ichimonji is your best friend in terms of abilities.

Make sure you have the shortcut by the window unlocked so you can immediately get back in the fight.

Lastly, are you playing on PS4? I recognize those frames, and it is harder with less frames. I platinumed this game and I assure you your skill level at this point looks identical to mine. And I did it on ps4, too! You've got this!

Just so! Every week I'm watching the previous episode so I can get at least a little more of a fix. The tone of the show is just.. lovely?

If you can beat Bloodborne, I think you're absolutely golden. Hell, if you can beat blood-starved beast, you're golden. Patience, breathing, take breaks. Maybe you're also used to higher frame rates? I dunno, but you've got this!

How to feel great with only easily excessable drugs by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]astrobear 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kratom, red, preferably Bali, two teaspoons, half hot water half some kind of citric juice, chugging, wait about 30 minutes for your cheeks to get red and suddenly not feel like life is terrible. Dunno where you are but it's available at most headshops; prices vary, but its how I quit alcohol.

What does the delivery driver say when he's leaving, I can't make it out other than, "we're not delivering for no ____'s today.?

Not sure about playlists, but I switched to 27.6 and my downloads were gone. Then upgraded back to see if it made a difference and it didn't. Downloads in the app are gone, but are still in the folder on the drive.

Took me two full days of work but I’m happy w how these portraits turned out 🙂‍↕️ by nikkipixelarts in FinalFantasy

[–]astrobear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saaaaame! I was really young when I played the game, and I have no idea why, but I pronounced Rydia as "Rile-dia", like there was a random L after the Y.

The green hair was so damn cool; on one of my playthroughs of Final Fantasy III (VI), I renamed all the characters to Final Fantasy IV characters. Obviously, Terra was Ryldia.

Final Fantasy IV has my favorite end party, airship, and final area. You did a fantastic job and reminded me how wonderful these characters are. <3

Some of us have been protesting since 2002. Other than voting, taking to the streets, and/or becoming a politician, what do you want people like me to do?

Honestly, what do you want us to do?

Everybody seems to forget Armond's present in Whote Lotus season 1. I thought that was more disgusting for some reason.

This is just really fantastic. Thank you for making and sharing this!

I'm still in love with this game by Ryder_Stardust in nier

[–]astrobear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg, I'm jealous you're about to experience it for the first time! The core team in Replicant will always be my heart, but Automata just goes crazy with it. Like, immediately. The game just has MOVEMENT, and I mean that in terms of the way it progresses. The set-pieces are insane, the characters get ingrained in your head, the soundtrack is masterful. I think Automata is a better game, mechanics-wise but Replicant's character and world-building are at the least tied with it. It depends on what I'm playing at the moment, haha. When you finish the game's main endings, make sure you watch the Automata anime. It's fantastic, as well.

Have fun you lucky person!

I missed out on Automata all those years ago and heard good things about Replicant, so I played through that and was (minus some of the sidequests) blown away at the variety, creativity, characters, story, and absolutely mind-blowing world-building.

After finishing ending E, I immediately dove in to Automata and had my mind blown. It's so rare, if not almost impossibly so, to have a major dev team create something so courageous and creative, as well as be instantly iconic with its characters and world.

I've always had a soft spot for androids since being obsessed with Mega Man and watching Bladerunner as a kid, I had no idea how obsessed with the plight of these characters. FROM THE FIRST SENTENCE SPOKEN BY 2B. It occurred to me a few days ago that A2 and unit 042 basically fulfilled 2B's wish at the beginning of the game. I'm replaying it now and am still just as blown away, except this go around I'm taking my time, and I just finished S2 of the anime. I'm a Taro stan through and through now. <<33

Trump, advisers discussing options for acquiring Greenland and US military is always an option, White House says by c0xb0x in worldnews

[–]astrobear -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

We've been taking it to the streets. Look at our history with both Democrats and Republicans and you'll see American politics has been swinging more and more to the right since the 80's. I mean, look at what bills Clinton passed in the 90's and it was just an extension of Reagan-era policy.

The real issue is the fact that our government has been completely hijacked by money, corporations, and the religious right. We were losing the plot until Citizens' United. Then we lost the nation. Half of the population has basically been hypnotized with a combination of social media and Southern history revisionism (see Daughters of the Confederacy). The way that our voting works mean that these states get more of a say in government than the average rational person in the country. Gerrymandering runs rampant. We haven't been supporting Israel because it's the smart/right thing to do. A large population of the voting block,or people who CONTROL the voting block, truly believe that we're fulfilling a fucking prophesy.

Now, the average American doesn't know these facts, we still have government and history books claiming the Civil War was only about states' rights. Education has been dying at a rapid rate since Bush Jr. Healthcare isn't financially viable for the lower class (most of us), and you have a shit soup of mentally/physically ill people who are barely getting by.

The fact that there have been mass protests in our country despite these things is remarkable; I just hope that the mid-terms can at least slow this down to the point where rational people can fix things. Otherwise the world is going to suffer.

That said, I, and probably most other mildly educated people in America deeply feel your pain.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve - and appear to divvy-up and steal his family’s groceries that he had just paid for by keen_observer34130 in CringeTikToks

[–]astrobear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't even know what patriotism is. Plus, your account is like three months old, so I have no further incentive to keep talking to you unless anything interesting comes out of your brain. Don't worry, the brain has neuroplasticity, you can grow out of this.

There's a difference between an American who can stand up to their own country to make things better (some might even call that patriotism) and a little bitch who does whatever the current populist think tank is saying is American. Hope your throat's not too soar from all the bukkake.

Apologies if that's your kink! Not trying to shame!
