oh I don't remember it having arms for some reason

I somehow took a path through this game that only led to me fighting it once

what even is this

Jay @envinyon.bsky.social · 8h

its kinda fun how bosses in the deep dungeon very obviously are not designed to give you convenient 2 minute buff timings

Jay @envinyon.bsky.social · 10h

this is why 7R Tifa has a way hotter design and its great that these dudes can't see that

Jay @envinyon.bsky.social · 10h

even beyond the fact that they cannot fathom a reason to have a woman in a game other than for horny reasons, their own logic doesn't make sense

I don't even think the f2p gooner gachas do particularly well next to the big mihoyo stuff

a funny thing about guys like this is they scramble to the "sex sells" defense, that this is just simply a good marketing decision, and when you press them on like what games look like this, they just immediately go to Stellar Blade, a game that took like 5 months to reach 1 million sales

and I'm just not really in the mood to do that sort of thing

and frankly I dunno if that content will last in party finder

Based on how long it took like the hardcore folks to do the Quantum raid, I don't think it's for me

I'd be looking at like probably weeks of party finder for it

it makes it much more viable to do with randoms while still retaining the challenge of solo play

pretty smart, I think

especially compared to eureka orthos where most enemies will hit you with their bullshit frame one

Jay @envinyon.bsky.social · 12h

Enemies in this dungeon are design such that their really dangerous abilities don't come up until like awhile after you've aggro'd them

this makes it so that in groups, a singular enemy isn't gonna be a big deal, but in solo you have to do extra mechanics

Was doing pilgrim's traverse solo and its pretty fine up to floor 60

I started a solo of this one and yeah I might go back and give HoH another go at some point

Jay @envinyon.bsky.social · 19h

I managed to clear this one last night and they mentioned potentially adding more checkpoints to potd and hoh

if they do, I might actually muster up the desire to clear them.

I don't really get to like "stock up" on content to do in this game that much due to raiding, so it kinda struck me that I can do that with these quests cuz they're not tied to anything super important

Jay @envinyon.bsky.social · 20h

I've been holding off on doing the Hildibrand quests

I think I'm gonna wait until its wrapped up for this expansion and then I'll have a nice beefy chunk of story content to do

but also like this is one of those things where you don't really perceive sexuality as a kid cuz like sexy lady digimon has been a thing from the start

1 2 20

Jay @envinyon.bsky.social · 20h

I think the whole "woah when did digimon get TITS" thing everytime digimon gets mainstream attention is a little tired but like lilithmon is really hot, so I can't really like begrudge it

My issue with Nioh 2 was that a lot of abilities are like so specific in their use case and then don't really do anything outside of that use case

meanwhile, crowd control abilities, launchers, etc. in SoP are still really good on bosses, and no boss has any innate status/debuff immunity

Jay @envinyon.bsky.social · 21h

this is why stranger of paradise kinda hits for me cuz you can pretty reliably engage multiple enemies at a time, and the AI is even designed to accomodate this, and you get a lot abilities to use, but they're not like, combo sequences, most are RPG buffs/debuffs

Jay @envinyon.bsky.social · 21h

nioh is a strange case though cuz it has really expansive movesets but frankly you end up using like three attacks anyways
