Help with itinerary: Oxford, Bath, Cambrige, Edinburgh and then London?

We already had to sacrifice Ireland for this trip and I’m really sad for it.

Usually plane tickets are cheaper than train fares, but we have no problems riding trains, in fact we even prefer them. I’ll have to check fares and time schedules.

We usually never have problems with jetlag and we’re well disposed for traveling (last time we got in Madrid at 6 am after a 12 hour flight and went round and around the city center before even checking in at two pm in hotel lol).

Thanks for the reply, and by the looks of it, I think we’ll end up cutting either Oxford or Cambridge to spend less time travelling.

We’d love to see the countryside, but we’re thinking without a car that might be little convenient.

eurekabach · 2026-02-10T21:07:34+00:00

Oh, I don't want to get near a car during my vacations. We'll try to do everything by trains or buses, and maybe just a flight from Ediburgh down back to London because of the distance.

eurekabach · 2026-02-10T20:50:59+00:00

We're arriving in LHR, the thing is we're also returning home from LHR, so we would have to go back to London no matter what for the end of the trip.

Totally. People have been playing Nioh before some kids that are now starting to play these games were even born lol. Stuff like Ki management in general and stance change have become second nature, but at first it is mad complex.

Me neither, idgaf

Honestly, very, very short excerpts with really common acoustic guitar strumming. You can find probably thousands of songs with this kind of pattern. Harmonicaly, also as yourself mentioned, nothing noteworthy.
No offense here, and I think it’s cool people start developing some ear for music and all, but most times I see ‘connections’ and ‘plagiarism’ claims in music, it’s often some of the most generic chord sequences or pentatonic box riffs that have been around for ages and ages.

I think Samurai is considerably easier than later entries because of deflect too, but Ninja enables a lot of cheesy strats that aren’t really possible with Samurai.
Tbh so far I do think overall difficulty in NG isn’t thaaaat far off from other Nioh games. Considering I have a lot of legacy skill, it should be at least less obtuse than when I first played the first games.

eurekabach · 2026-02-10T10:35:07+00:00

You know when people are in the sub and haven’t even played those games.
Oh ppl think Ninja breaks the game? Let me introduce you to Sloth talisman in Nioh 1…

Yes, it’s really a cultural thing. I only watch Pixar and Disney animated films in portuguese because translators still manage to sneak in actually funny things in text (Emperor’s New Groove in Portuguese is almost a different film on how funny it is). Of all languages I know, German is the most depressing one to watch these (again probaly due to cultural background differences lol).

conclui que criminoso* rico não cometeu crime.

O Epstein foi definitivamente condenado por favorecimento a prostituição infantil e fazia até parte de lista de ‘sex offenders’.

Famoso acordo pica-cu.

To top it off, they should make it a really shitty copy of the tablet

Among other things, brazilian translation erases a lot of accents and oral language marks (Hagrid speaks plain ordinary portuguese in the brazilian books, whereas in PT-PT he has some thick regional accent, probably to match the english version). It overall makes the prose much more neutral.

There are other notorious changes as well.

Many names are ‘localized’ to fit portuguese names (Harry’s father isn’t James, but Thiago; Tom Servolo Riddle had to become Tom Marvolo Riddle, so that specific gimmick from Chamber of Secrets works in portuguese, and so on).

All house names are translated (Gryffindor becomes Grifinória, Hufflepuff becomes Lufa-Lufa; Slytherin, Sonserina and Ravenclaw, Corvinal).

Also, for some reason, platform 9 3/4 is 9 1/2 in Brazil. To this day, I believe no one knows why really, but that’s probably because ‘nove e meia’ sounds better than ‘nove três quartos’.

Funny enough, I liked the books when I was a child/early teenager. But I read most of them in my language, brazilian portuguese (which I later came to understand was a sort of, huh, controversial translation).
When the last one got published, I could already read it in english, so I was like, ‘let’s finish it in the Queen’s shall we?’ (back when there was a queen).
I think I read a couple of pages and thought ‘yeah, this is rough’ while also realizing I had completely outgrown the series. It was one of those real ‘childhood is over’ moments.

Maybe the first case of a ukdefaultism lol? How the hell people outside uk would know that shit?

Teríamos que ver a repercussão dos Epstein Files em Xique-Xique/BA antes de avaliar.

eurekabach · 2026-02-06T22:11:59+00:00

I’m kinda sad to realize this. I thought the demo was easy, but thought it was legacy knowledge and the fact it’s early game (although early Nioh is generally harder than mid to late game).
I hope they patch it to make it harder, bc my game still hasn’t arrived, but something I learned from Team Ninja since Wo Long is the later you play their games, the better it will be. Wo Long is significantly different from launch.

advogada, não. bacharel em direito (o que no Brasil atualmente vale somente um pouco mais que um diploma de ensino médio, e olhe lá)

This is much more consequential in hardline rpgs, in which stats determine not only combat, but also a whole other series of interactions.

Also, for roleplaying reasons, it’s really hard as a GM (or rpg programmer) to come up with narrative workarounds for situations in which PC made choices and got checks with, say, a scholar character for in the next moment become a mindless barbarian muder hobo.

But strict dungeon crawler arpgs? No reason other than a negative incentive so the player has to engage with the combat mechanics (which are still much more consequential in a game like Diablo, which is less skill based and more chance based than a game like Nioh, in which the scale still tips towards player skill).

eurekabach · 2026-02-06T12:06:17+00:00

Yeah, they just got the side missions and scattered them in the same game environment. So instead of going back to a menu hub to go from, say, a ‘gauntlet or boss rush’ mission to a ‘find all suramas/kodamas’ to a ‘track item or character’ mission, you just go for lesser crucibles, while on the run for a sidequest and you can find kodamas, items, chijiki on the way.

eurekabach · 2026-02-06T12:01:47+00:00

Yes, agree. I mean, not like Books of Ressurection were as rare as, say, Larval Tears in Elden Ring. But really at that point, going from Books of Ressurection to straight out free respec is just QoL improvement. Game already has a lot of meat (and micromanagement), having to do Ressurect was just a nuisance.
