It was the sword lady on the bridge at the top of the tower. I breezed through most of the game but after the dozenth attempt I threw up my hands.

I have children who each play multiple different games on my Switch, and I have a couple dozen more just for myself. If there weren't digital storage available, the carts would have long since been lost. But instead they change games seamlessly and nothing ever gets lost.

The only physical cart I have permanently glued into the other slot?

I wish Nintendo would allow a downloadable version of Ring Fit for free or something. You can’t use it without the ring anyways so it would be convenient.

Demos are poorly advertised but super useful to let you know to buy a game or not.

You know someone would end up in the hospital after trying to replicate the ring with something completely inappropriate for the task. For a ring of plastic, it's really well made.

You can't really do that. It's not just a slot to fit your joycon into, it has some circuitry itself to measure tug and press strength, and probably to store your offline presses, too. At the very very least, there has to be some kind of electronic switch in there that tells the joy-con "hey, you're now connected to a ring-con, so switch control scheme!"

I just can't get the rhythm of the fight down. She whittles me faster than I whittle her, plain and simple. I'm used to bashing my head against bosses until I get it but between the tedium of getting there and barely making it past her half-health mark I kinda just gave up.

Just gonna put all of it in spoilers.

Equip the Mea Culpa heart that extends the duration of your parry. That's what the fight is all about. All of her attacks can be parried or blocked. Even the one where she flies down from above and shoots purple flames to the sides, but that one's usually easier to just get out of the way of.

Don't heal. She's gonna dash across the screen and smash your face in while the animation is playing. The only time I found it was safe to heal was when she had finished her sequence of charge attacks, or if you were in one of the corners of the screen and she did the air charge, which always seemed to miss slightly.

Counter-parrying her parry and then landing a dodge stab after you get pushed away was a reliable way of scoring damage. Don't do it if she's in a corner, you can't get far enough away or turn and parry her attack after. The dodge stab does about as much damage as a 3 hit combo.

Pre-emptively parry every time she moves her sword. The tell for the swing and the parry is basically the same. If she goes into a parry, walk up and trigger it and then counter-parry. If she swings, you parry her attack. Even if you get pushed away, you can dodge stab her. If you hit her with the parry, unload with a combo.

When she starts doing the charge, standing in a corner is a reliable way of making sure she's only coming from one direction. At that point it's easy to block her attacks with a parry. Don't try to hit her during the attacks, just let her keep attacking and block them all. Only attack when it's safe.

You'll probably still get hit a couple times off of a dodge stab that didn't carry you far enough to the other side, or eating a swing in the middle of your combo.

That doesn't negate the point they're making. At least when some dipshit loses/breaks their ring and puts out their eye with some improvised plastic mess where they basically chopped the top off a garbage can Nintendo can legitimately say "Well, we provided you one with the game".

Slain is one of those arbitrarily hard games that gives you an achievement for being "dumb" enough to walk into some hidden spikes. I bounced off of it on Steam a long time ago.

My dude, they make terabyte sized ones if you actually ever find yourself needing it. For a price.

The 400gb cards are in a price sweet spot and go on sale pretty often, mine was like $40.

A 512gb will generally be way more expensive in comparison, though, which is why the 400 is suggested around here.
