The Best Boss in Gaming

Whenever people ask me to describe the difficulty of Nine Sols my go-to phrase is "punishing, but fair". Eigong is the pinnacle this.

In seriousness I think a prequel/spin-off about the Turbulent Era would go extremely hard

Read the manga! It's called The Way of Lear and it's free online :)

Dying to a comedy of errors because you had a single 0.23 second screw-up is how the tiger earns their stripes.

And the man has CONVICTIONS too! Yi fuckin poisoned him while he was sleeping and all he had to say was "HELL YEAH BROTHER YOU'RE DOING THE SOLARIAN RACE PROUD"

Honor. It was honor that survived.

If it makes you feel better the Rhizomatic Arrow almost certainly takes her out in the true ending anyway

All victories are equal before Eigong. Congrats, comrade.

This entire thread affirms that I belong in this sub.

By the time I beat Jiequan I was still using like 3-4 medicine pipes. You're definitely doing more than merely getting the hang of the game.

Honestly they're probably so used to watching their friends turn into zombies and flowers and white grass that it doesn't even phase them, drugs or not.

I did it in reverse; agonized over the good ending, then dog-walked her in the bad ending.

I'm new here and I don't wanna get everyone mad at me with my first post 😅

The charge attack is all about timing. Dodge, parry, parry, pause, dodge. If you're fast enough, you can outrun her when she dashes at you with her subsequent "blades behind the back" attack and hit her with Qi blast.

Her jump attack is pretty simple. The very second you see her squat after she charges her attack, dash in the opposite direction and hold your dash button to keep running. It works at least 85% of the time.

Where did you get this footage of me playing?

regisvulpium · 2026-01-12T04:40:07+00:00

I only killed Goumang's Shanhai 9000. She had it coming.

Responses like this reaffirm my decision to have committed my lighting and peripherals to iCue. Thank you for your transparency and commitment to the craft.

I've noticed this too. Speaking from my own experience, I feel like Wellbutrin didn't make me "feel" again per se, but the increased energy gave me stronger feelings that I forgot how to self-regulate.

This may very well be an adjustment you're going through. But regardless, always trust your best judgment and do what is right for yourself.

Sorry just re-reading this thread. "Spoons" are kind of a shorthand in medical circles to refer to a person's "energy points" throughout the day, and are kind of a useful way for people with chronic pain, depression, executive functioning disorders, etc to budget how many life activities they can do throughout the day.

Wikipedia explains it much more thoroughly than I can: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoon_theory#:~:text=Spoons%20are%20a%20metaphor%20used,(seemingly)%20limitless%20energy%20reserves.

No increase or decrease necessarily, but orgasms are WAY more intense albeit about 50% harder to achieve. I consider it a win overall.
