the positive reinforcement of a reliable nioh2 guy finally getting around to posting another Wo Long build guide and having it basically be the build that i was using gave me enough confidence to try my hand at the game again

and i made a bunch of nice progress! new game+ is still really brutal, especially the bosses that can very easily 1 shot you with their red attacks or just plain 2-shot you with their regular attacks. it's just a straight up get good scenario, no matter how much i try to cheese it out with magic (which works about half the time) i still have to actually deflect as much as i can or i fall over.

hopefully i can gradually hit the level cap and get all the missions completed. i've gotten a few pieces of grace gear but not enough to make a set. that poo poo still seems really rare. but the patches they've put out since i played last have done a decent job of addressing some big complaints, like the arrow restock thing.

glad to hear you're giving it another shot, since i found NG+ fun as hell with the increased difficulty. definitely takes some adjusting with how incredibly loving deadly red attacks are from certain bosses

the drop rate is definitely better on 5* gear, but i get the impression that they really want people to do minimum morale runs to farm out sets to try and add some extra difficulty to it, and that can be a tad harrowing on your first time through

does having lower morale give you better drop rates or something?

i'm not sure anyone's datamined the exact mechanic, but everything they've said in the documents and patch notes indicates that you get better drops the greater the morale disparity is between you and your target, so the "optimal" way to farm is to speedrun through levels and maybe take one or two safety flags if you're not confident in your ability to dust a boss in a single go

the obvious downside is that this makes boss fights outrageously more difficult, so optimizing your build for whatever boss you're farming is critical

I enjoyed DnD more although Jack Black was fantastic

They made 3 of those btw. I was going to rewatch them all for fun, but I got super bored during both the trailers for them. I also suspect I may have already seen the second one and just forgotten it.

The Mario movie is fine, about on the same level as the first Sonic movie. Jack Black Bowser is a very inspired, fun performance, much like Carrey Robotnik.

Jim Carrey Robotnik is a Jeffrey Combs impression.

Ah. We’ll look on the bright side, it would have been intensely disappointing if your first shiny was yet another mediocre Normal/Flying type.

My first shiny in a legit copy of a game was a Roggenrola. It gets, uh, a bit more obvious when it evolves, though. I called it Glam Rock.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Been really busy at work again so I'm looking forward to the next couple weeks where I can catch up on some games.

I've had the whole week off work and it's been great. Been mostly playing Shadow of War, but dipping my toes into other things. I bought the survivors-like bundle and have been hooked on Scarlet Tower.

I also started a new game of Elden Ring after having not touched it since completing a new game plus playthrough last May. I'd forgotten what an incredible game it is, but switching between it and Shadow of War completely fucks me up with things like me hitting the wrong button, or forgetting which game I'm playing and trying to run up a wall when I can't.
