My favorite part of sex is taking my average sized penis all the way out and putting it back in approximately 300 times

Dude I fucking loved Lady Sia. I always loved getting to the part where you get the ring that lets you charge your main ranged attack. She looked badass summoning a giant energy ball and firing it off. The animations for that game were incredible

I've never heard people use the terms interchangeably. There are homeless people, crackheads, and homeless crackheads.

Tastes like floor cleaner and ear wax

Absolutely. Years of dedicated research have been spent maximizing the attention economy

Yeah bro, hit me with that stream of consciousness

You're totally right. Temporarily banning certain keywords is just a necessary aspect of moderating large subreddits, especially r/unpopularopinion. Everybody and their mother has a "hot take" about whatever's dominating the headlines, and users get sick of it

I'm surprised you even found the second owl fight on your first run. The Demon of Hatred is a tough one for sure, but people say he's the most dark soulsy boss in the game. It wasn't obvious to me, but there's actually a way to reliably avoid his charge, and it doesn't involve dodging.

A really tough boss is the spear wielder with his sword pal at the Ashina Reservoir idol during the third act of the game. Fighting them 2v1 is a true test of skill.

A few of my friends and I were really into the game, and we had a blast streaming our playthroughs and watching each other. The only one of us who didn't think much of the game also didn't consider it much of a challenge, though he extensively used Shinobi prosthetics, mortal draw, consumables, and even guides. I can imagine how the game might not live up to its reputation if you're able to just plow through it and not feel the sense of accomplishment that can only come from finally beating each boss after they've stomped you into the ground a dozen times.

I hope you enjoy the last boss and it makes the game seem worth it, or maybe you give it another go using one of the items that cranks up the difficulty, and you find some joy in that. I just think it's a special game, and I want everyone to love it as much as I do.

Yeah, ringing the demon bell just makes enemies hit harder and have more health. There's a second way to increase the difficulty, but you only have access to it after you've beaten the game. It beefs up enemies, but also makes it so you take chip damage when guarding, meaning you have to parry to avoid damage altogether. The second method makes the game harder in a good way

I really like Sekiro. It's one of my favorite games and easily my favorite FromSoft game. If you're almost done with it and you've only struggled with two bosses, you might not be enjoying it because you're too good at it.

I feel like it's almost entirely fair, which I appreciate. I like the setting and the exploration. I like that it's sort of short and contained. And I like how all the bosses have unique challenges to deal with.

And Genichiro is one of the best boss battles of any game I've ever played

 

I did a bit of experimenting and I thought I'd share the results
