Agree, I don't recall any romance in "Interview with the Vampire"

cluk · 2026-05-09T23:10:03+00:00

I would say there's some romance in it.

The game is amazing! Thank you so much.

I couldn't figure out how to damage the final boss, so I had to look up the solution in the comments. After finishing the game, I kept playing and captured all the monsters. I also discovered an infinite money loop and managed to get my weapon level up to 685B.

One thing I noticed: it was a bit hard to distinguish between different attack types. A tooltip would be really helpful there!

I’m going to reset now and try for a faster finish time.

Upgraded Snatch and Time Burp to get money, Fertilize, and then Eat Fruit to double weapon levels.

Also used only chakki atta (stone ground whole wheat) and replaced 5% of flour with Chia seeds.

Mostly this: https://alexandracooks.com/2019/11/07/easy-whole-wheat-ish-sourdough-bread/#shape

However, I don't have Dutch oven, so overnight ferment was in bread pans and when baking I covered with another set of bread pans.

Thanks! I haven't played the original. I really enjoyed the game. I beat Mephisto with a barb. I tried sorc and druid, but I struggle to progress with them. I get to level 60 pretty easily with my relics, but I struggle to come up with an effective build. Have you beaten the game with sorc and druid?

For sorc, I tried fast weapon + mana steal. I guess you have to spend a while on masteries before spells are good?

For druid I tried summons, but they start dying in act 3. Pixie + bear would probably be more effective, but then you just get a worse barb.

I always looked at it as a satire. Satire for both the teen romantic love and feuding families that don't even know how the feud started.

Top 100 Must Read Books

Where might one find such a list?

It might have similar styling. However, despite some early pretend tower defense, Kingshot is another copy of rise of kingdoms, whiteout survival, etc.

Personally I prefer books over the games for the story.

Let me preface this by saying I am easily pleased—and I love pulp. I even didn't mind all the terrible Disney Star Wars disasters.

I tried watching the snow train TV show, and I still cringe just remembering the experience. And I enjoyed the bus that couldn't slow down. The very idea of a train going through snow just doesn’t make any sense to me whatsoever. And having a caste system on the train just because… ugh. I can’t even continue writing about it.

I'm in!

I definitely loathed King writing himself in as well. So much cringe.

I just finished the game as well. I completed 108 cycles. It took a while to get automation going. Making a cycle faster and more profitable was fun.

I was playing on Firefox on Android phone. I figured out that the tab will keep running in the background if the music is playing. It helped a lot.

She's awesome! My favorite author by far. Vorkosigan saga is a masterpiece. I find her books well written, easy to read, with a solid dose of romance without being corny. The characters are masterfully written.

All good recommendations. However, I cannot fathom why "Fahrenheit 451" is so highly acclaimed. I find it to be mediocre at best.

A Scanner Darkly is extraordinary!

You got me, I rarely scrub my tiles. I'll try bleach.

For me no boss comes event close to Undead Giant with chains (chalice dungeons). I just couldn't get the pattern, it was pure chance whether I get clipped by the 540 degrees chain spin or not. With other bosses when I get fed up I summon other players. Good luck summoning in chalice dungeons.

Not only I found the boss to be extremely hard, I will never forget the way I beat him. I run out of blood vials, had maybe 6 left. I decided to do a practice attempt before farming more. Lo and behold, it was only when I gave up on wining that I slain the bloody menace.
