For many people, socialization is a core part of gaming, and Discord is far and away the most common platform for that socialization.
Fair enough--there is one specific boss that comes to mind where a specific prosthetic is supremely useful, as well as some mini bosses. All the "enemy with sword" bosses like Genichiro are pretty straight up, though.
Gentrification and weed. When I was growing up, there were large swathes of town where you just didn't go after dark. Now they're all brand new office and lab space punctuated with dispensaries every couple of blocks.
Juzou the Drunkard is a brutal fight! I rushed Hirata Estate my first playthrough and got stuck there for a long time.
IMO spirit emblems are cool but ultimately a waste of time--they're a lot of fun to play with in the open areas, but for ~a boss~ most bosses, it's faster to just learn the fight than spend time farming tokens to try to grind it out with prosthetics.
You may know this already, but a slightly hidden mechanic is that the parry window is a while .5 seconds if you hold the parry button down--if you just tap it you only get a couple frames, but if you hold it, you will find the window far more forgiving.
Timberborn! It's a city builder about beavers, the primary conceit is that there are periodic droughts that can and will kill all your beavers if you haven't saved enough water.
Eh, depends on the language and the context. I still use 80 for C, but I've found 120 to be a much more reasonable number for Java.
I had absolutely no luck trying. I went on dates, swiped apps, talked to every girl I thought was cute, and none of it went anywhere beyond some weird halfhearted relationships. About two weeks after I gave up altogether, I met a girl on my way to the water fountain and we just clicked. Six years down the line and we couldn't be happier.
I guess my best advice is just don't sweat it. Be yourself, do what makes you happy, put yourself in situations where you'll meet new people, and sooner or later somebody will come along.
It is in fact required
I guess so lmao
Where tf do you live that a banana is $10?
Quality follows where consistency leads
It's not a matter of what people can use, but what people do use. Like it or not, Discord is the de facto standard, and it's a lot easier to install workarounds that make Discord usable on Linux than it is to convince all your friends to switch platforms.
