we're getting close to some big numeros

wew it has been thermic spring for 2weeks here

>>660677
you can probably learn to drive a big rig pretty easily if you've driven smaller trucks too tbh
not sure if you'd be able to get the documents to legally do so if you drive in another country idk how that works

it seems pretty daunting though
no one man should have that power
though I could properly judge that if I had ever actually rid in a big rig

is fun to ride in a big rig

>>660682
is definitely not for the faint of heart
remember Uncle Ben
with great tonnage comes great responsibility

with great tonnage comes awesome crashes

it better be awesome because it's probably the last time you'll get to drive one here haha

if it is awesome it is usually your last too

true
better to just take it easy

naw it would just be weird for him to be on pr0

tl;dr
site has + points called "benis" and it implimented benistrator 3000 gambling machine yesterday
and people have gsmbled all their benis away
site has been for 30+h now just "gib benis 4 benis" memes

hmm

site is free acess, but since last year or so, you neef pr0mium account to post content, so apparently the whole shtick is trading + for membership months

does poland have something to rival crazy train
probably not

i dunno
poland is a fun country, would live in if the language made sense

only country in eu that took ukrainian refugees

so just a quick dump
badically thete were already domethinh like million refugees in poland, when merkel came knocking "take more but from south"
the answer was quite obvious at that poimt eben if thete hadn't been a right wing party in power

weird
I tried to take a screenshot on my phone and it blocked it saying "cannot take a screenshot due to personal information"
wasn't even personal

i like how there is a station with a "shory platform, please be caregul when getting off"

so i onetime was "how short can it be"
it is maybe 20m and isn't even a platform
just sand plot
no concrete or anything

i guess it isn't important enough to get built proper, but used enough to not be decomissioned

i still love how we have an actual communist worker's party

there was a socialist party when I went to vote
just one of the usual never get in parliment parties

i kimda wanna vote a literal protest party
their sole thing being remobing or refotming party politics
an issue i care about, but there are lot more important things to tackle atm

it was only a state election, but that was the first time I voted environmental party
mainly because they seem to at least have a chance of getting in
and they are a more savvy to things like asylum seekers and technology
not that they don't have room for fuckup but still better than major left leaning party imo
labor recently callled them "virtue signallers" because they don't want to sink boats lol

there are few commies in helsinki council lol

lol
there is also
finnish communist partu
aah, younalways bave multiple ones

i wish we could import our greenparty somewhete where they could actually affect their issues
lot of them are damn competent and not ideologs
though the other half are the ecact type you expect an european green party to be

i do know who i'd want to vote, but he is rumnimgmin helsinki and not the province

you can see whenever there is frost damage on the road from my typing

finally got youtube to actually turn horror film trailers off for my personalized ads
even though i've used the "stop seeing this ad" feature every time for over a year and still got them
fug

well that's good though
there's a lot of jarring ads on there
there was post I saw where a company sent out an email to let you opt out of their ads
I wish more companies did stuff like that

how did you manage that? i don't want to see booze ads

like i want more enchantimals ads but oh well

that's neat

i wouldnt mind more owl ads either

interesting, thanks

just curiously what's on your graph already

i have like 40+ things there it looks like
stuff like action films , shoes, books, computers, different genres of music, investing, outdoors, "women's interests"

idk if this is visible
there's, uh, a lot of weird shit on here lmao

just CLOCKS
haha what

oh yeah, i had parenting

how many clock videos do you watch per day

and even though it says clocks it has a picture of a couch
im loosing it help

i watch nothing but clocks

i would probably feed my baby pramiracetam stacks and valerian root
thats prolly why i dont got one

were you able to turn off the alcohol
i have miller lite in my disabled one but i didn't see overall alcohol
that's what i mean about not bein able to add in something specific

yeah i don't see any for alcohol

next time an ad comes up for it click the little i in the bottom left and say stop seein this ad
maybe that'll help but it really doesnt most of the time

made a cafe, hondoruan, light roast

sips

that's the stuff

>>660789
yeah i'll try

You guys sould block ads. They're bad for your brain.

>>660795
I've never done it, but I thik // think if you change the DNS to adguard's then it works, but that probably requires super user privs.

There's also a hacked version of the YouTube app with ad blocking that doesn't require su priv, but I'm too paranoid to install it.

It's called ``YouTube Vanced''.

you can't block ads on all devices
there's no effective way to block ads on your phone which is where i see youtube ads
i don't see them on my computer

yeah yt app doesm't really allow adblocking

i think ads now are good for understanding how the trend of personalized data is moving along
i really don't care about the ads themselves or what the content is
im just looking at it from the curiosity angle because i wanna think about how that data steers to me
it makes me more conscious of leakage and how i am interacting with the information landscape we're moving into
but sometimes i do get an ad for like taco bell's new rattlesnake burrito and think huh maybe i should check that out
not that i ever really do fast food but i might to try somethin out

lol no

absolutely not lmao
how the fuck does that get here

not again

speaking of information
are any of our lurkers around currently possibly a sugoi
there's some information stuff i kinda need to talk to you about but it's really not that important
it concerns me not you, just to not make you paranoid

i'd trust tilde or moon to do it, personally
they are prudent

I wouldn't trust me to do it I work most of the day like riki tiki tavi and also am a huge degenerate

i think it's fine for a degenerate to do it as long as they delete the stuff they're supposed to even if they like it

on another note
this is somewhat erotic on a new level

fair point

who better to spot degeneracy than a degenerate

who better to moderate than one whose passion transcends all notions of lewd and worksafe

you know what sucks about my habit of watching anime and then stopping for no real reason
I got Owl to watch Samumenco with me and it suffered that fate

that it takes away from your time // oh nevermind i dont actually get to guess

there's too many anime I never finished

I don't have the attention span for anime. It feels bad.

I'm trying to read more books though. A good book can be more engrossing than any film since it takes place in your mind. It's very intimate.

Has /moe/ ever had a persimmon? I've never had one. What do they taste like?

I don't think I have

I have several times been in places that had tons of exotic fruits available, but fuck if i remember what all I ate there

>>660868
i love persimmons
there are big asian ones and the tiny ones on our trees here
they're both amazing and i really like the persimmons here when you're on a hike and pass a bunch of persimmon trees and they're everywhere
you can just snack on em while you go

I have had umeshu and other persimmon alcohols, tho

wait umeshu was made from a different fruit

>>660871
They look like tomatoes. Are they pretty similar?

not at all
they're like something between an apricot and a passion fruit
like squishy and jammy but way sweeter than a tomato

Are they seasonal? I wonder if I can find some here.

you livei n the right climate for them, atleast

>tfw you havn't had fresh fruit in 20 years

hello hello

>>660878
Why not?

>>660879
Hello.

>>660876
i know that i see them in missouri and illinois in the fall
i think they're probably seasonal

>>660880
cause it all arrives raw here or in rotterdam and is ripened in storage/transit

hello
how are we doing today?

happy it's the weekend how about you
the weather's finally pickin up a bit i was able to open a WINDOW this week

>>660883
I'm okay. How are you?

>>660882
That sucks. Fresh fruit is great.

'least we have berries
tons of berries
so many berries

>>660885
I'm doing okay. I slept a bunch now I'm taking it easy.

>>660887
What kind of stuff are you doing to take it easy?

>>660888
Well I slept all morning and now I'm playing around on the computer.
I'll probably run a little bit later.

>>660889
Neat. How much are you running these days?

Well, I'm always lazy during winter because SAD gets me. But now that spring is getting back to it, I'm feeling a lot more energy.
I just hop on the treadmill and run for 30 minutes, I don't really worry about distance. Lately I've been doing about three miles in 30 minutes or so.

>>660891
Neat.
I haven't run in a while. I'm kind of learning how to walk again in my special shoes.

Oh right, you have to have special shoes.
That's got to be a pain. I'm glad I have normal feet.

>>660893
Yeah, it's rough.
They change the way I walk a lot.
There are muscles in my thigh areas that keep getting sore like I've never used them before.
And it feels like my left foot impacts on the ground weirdly when I walk, and I can feel the impact in my knee, which worries me.
But it's hard to figure out how to change the way you walk when you've been walking the way you walk for more than 20 years.

i dunno if it sounds stupid but i find than backwards running helps alleviate impact stress a lot on my knees
it'd only really be feasible on treadmill tho

>>660894
Yeah, suddenly changing something like that is bad.
I would worry about my knee too! Maybe you should get a brace for it just to be safe.

>>660895
I don't think I'm coordinated enough to run backwards.

>>660896
That's what I was thinking. I have a cheap brace that I'm going to try today when I walk. I've been walking about 4 miles a few times a week to try to get used to walking.
It's really weird.
I almost feel like it would be simpler to just get surgery to correct my feet, but who knows, that might keep me out of the game even longer than this.

>>660895
I could try it, but I won't get my meditative benefits out of it and it'll probably stress me out.

>>660897
Surgery usually takes a loooong time to full recover from.

All these military jets and helicopters flying over my house is so annoying.
Air shows shouldn't be able to fly over residential areas.

>>660901
Yeah, I think it would be better if I just re-learned how to walk.

>>660902
Wait what's wrong with your legs/feet?

My flexible flatfoot syndrome has progressed to the point where I need special shoes to exercise or I'm going to do irreparable damage to my feet.
So I'm basically learning how to walk again because the shoes change the way my body walks.

>>660902
There was one day a few years ago that an osprey flew over my house.
I was in the water at the time and it was the loudest thing I have ever heard. It was flying pretty low.
It sounded like ten helicopters all stacked on top of each other.
I thought a nearby building was falling into the pool and onto me before I got my head out of the water and looked up and saw it.

>>660905
Deshou? It's ridiculous that I should have to listen to it all day for multiple days in a row.

aircraft are annoyingly loud

>>660897
yeah i thought running outside might be important for you
when i used to run miles i would switch to backwards for like 20 or 30 seconds to let some muscles rest for a moment without slowing down
it's probably straining on the lower calves and tendons though for long sessions
but i like using all the muscles instead of just some

>>660908
For me, it's not necessarily being outside that's important. The important thing is that I'm moving forward.
The only time life is simple for me is when I'm running because the only thing that exists is the path I'm on and I'm not plagued by extraneous thoughts. It's the only time I can tunnel vision and ignore most of my surroundings. Moving forward is also significant to me symbolically, which is probably a big part of it.
I could run inside if I had a path that I could move forward on.
Treadmills just don't give me that meditative outlet.

>>660909
What about a treadmill and vr?

>>660909
that makes sense
for me i gotta be outside to exercise
while im normally pretty cozy indoors and like small spaces, when im exercising i get claustrophic even like in a gym
the echoes, the sounds of shoe soles squeaking against the floor and echoing, the contained smell, the stuffiness all make for a discomforting sensory environment that adds to my anxiety
it makes my thoughts restricted
bein out in the open with wind and animals and lots of natural noise makes my thoughts move so freely and not collapse inward in apprehension

>>660910
Sufficiently advanced VR, probably. I don't think the VR that's accessible right now is enough.

>>660911
I don't really like those sounds, but I always run with music on.

>>660912
skyrim with the treadmill controls

It would need to be advanced enough that you could look down and see your feet.
Running without being able to see your feet would be weird.


I always run with music on. I run on a treadmill so I just let what I'm seeing get filtered out and listen to the music.

>>660912
i dont think ive ever tried running with music
ive only ever had big clunky over-ear headphones i guess so i never really take em outside
i oughtta get some earbuds and try that

>>660914
It would be weird, but I dunno, I don't look down when I'm running. I just look ahead.

>>660915
Yeah, it helps me keep my pace.

Yeah, who actually looks at their feet when moving, unless the footing is treacherous?

I look at my feet from time to time when there's a problem.

I look down if I start to trip or something sometimes

I look down when I walk because I need to see the screen.

What phone do you use? I am looking to get a new one and I'm feeling kiind of lost.

>>660919
And I start to trip often!

>>660921
I use a Samsun Galaxy S7.

>>660922
Do you tend to trip when you're just walking around?

>>660921
I have an S7 as well

>>660923
Hmm, when presented with stairs, doorframes, desks, and other things to hit my foot on, sometimes.

>>660924
I forgot how clumsy you are.

don't have to worry about your feet hitting things if you dont have feet
just sayin

Oh it's already past six in the afternoon.
How did I sleep this long.

>>660925
I'm somewhat clumsy.

>>660928
I guess that's kind of moe.

Wow, sleepy boy.

aah

though was bit annoying i had left changing sheets and othrr bed stuff to present me
damn you past me

I have a job interview on Thursday. I've been doing research on my potential boss, and so far I've gathered that he's pretty pretentious and tends not to think very far in advance or do his research before acting.
He has a failed television show that only got a few episodes.

I'm trying to decide whether I should watch those episodes and use it to flatter him or not.
I don't know how he'd take to flattery. Some pretentious people love it, and others identify more readily with other pretentious people.
Maybe watching them will give me a better idea of who he is, though.

He has a master's in theology as well as a doctorate in psychology

He also wrote a book on how stress is bad for capitalism

What's his show? Some fiction narrative? A reality television piece? Some kind of documentary/educational work?

It's a "reality talk show"
It has 6 episodes

One about stress, two about marriage, one about "listening to god", one about weight loss, and one about perfectionism.

The show aired in 2008, though.

>Listening to god
Well okay.

It sure feels kind of like some random topics, having something loony stuck between weight loss and marriage.

It seems like he wants to be Dr. Phil.

My question is what kind of religious person is he.
Well, what kind of Christian is he, rather.
I have a bible-related story that I can use to explain my substance use philosophy, but if he's an anti-semite, then revealing myself to be Jewish would be bad.

Yeah I could imagine.
It's too easy to find some kind of plausible deniability regarding someone refusing to hire you for your religion that you couldn't really challenge him on that.

He's also the vice president of some company that does a sort of scared straight program, it looks like? But it's run by a "reformed felon" with a "troubled past" who is now an honorary police officer and has spoken in state congress
So I bet he'll be receptive to my "i'm a recovering alcoholic" stuff

>>660931
I'm trying to decide whether I should watch those episodes and use it to flatter him or not.

i'd be creeped out if a potential hire was doing this much digging on me

>>660939
On his profile on the clinic's website, it talks about how he's the host of a "ground breaking" tv show and even gives the name of it.
It wouldn't really look weird for me to have done cursory level research on my potential employer, especially if my employer is pretentious and egocentric

in that case it might flatter him
seems like a bug ego guy

Follow him around for a day or two and learn his habits, and when the moment presents itself, take over his life and become him.

>>660941
Yeah, my impression is that he thinks he's some kind of savior.

I also know that he hates my current supervisor because they got in a fight when he tried to buy the clinic I'm currently at but failed because we had already become incorporated into a really big health nonprofit here.
He tried to hire my current supervisor from this clinic after he found that out and she basically told him to fuck off, and he doesn't like her now. She said I shouldn't even mention her name.

maybe he has a stand

How terrifying.

So one option is to explain the things I don't like about my current clinic and how I think the way his place does it is way better.

I'm most likely going to get this job because there are only three /// two other people interviewing for this position, and I not only have more experience than them, but specifically more substance abuse experience than them.
And one of the two of them is incompetent. The other one is pretty competent, but she doesn't have the experience or the background I do.

Now that I think about it, if he chooses the incompetent over me or the competent girl, I could use that as evidence of anti-semitism if I had to, because competent-chan and I are both Jewish. I doubt that would happen, though, and I don't plan to make a big stink of it, especially since I'll probably get the position.

>>660947
I definitely will.
I just have to figure out which stroke is most appealing to him and be prepared to follow through.

stroke that ego well

>>660946
i don't think it is to yoyr benefit to get a troublesome-employee tagged to you early, unless there really is a case and not just perceived one

Fight EVERYONE

I'm good enough at people and have high enough charisma stat to get probably any job position I'm qualified for and some that are slightly above my qualifications. As long as I have time to prepare.

fight for your living
fighting the world

>>660950
well nepotism is always a blocker

or
"we are having this job posted bevause law demands we do, but the spot is already filled2
that happens here rarely, but it does

>>660952
Yeah, that's true.
But at this point in my psychology career, nepotism is essentially impossible outside of cases where a professor is the clinician running a site.

i just pointed out the one 100% blocker no matter the perks of the applicant

btw who is this girl, with cute?

Of course, I have ways around nepotism provided I have time.

>>660956
She's from Hero Academia.
She's a crazy stalker type who drinks people's blood and shapeshifts into them

She's also a villain.

>>660957
wew

maybe should watch it
shounen are just so time consuming unless you pick em early

It's one of the better shounen in recent time.
The first anime season is kind of wonky but the second and third runs are excellent.
The anime also has a consistently excellent OST.

If your life were set to an OST which would it be?

I'm liking the music from Urusei lots right now.

I've got to go up against Papa Owl next and I'm not sure I'm ready.
But the only other boss options are mini-bosses like Shichimen and the Headless and those are terrifying too.
I guess I could grind skill points but that's not an entertaining prospect.

I think one of the most important things you can do is upgrade your prosthetic tools, when you have a boss that you're not sure you're ready for but aren't sure what else to go fight.
Of course, you also get skill points while you're doing that, which is nice.

ToN and I are at the same place now. We have an optional boss, and then (presumably) the final boss left.
But I have probably twice the skill points that he does and I also have all the prayer necklaces I can get. I think he probably has most of the upgrades I have except for the final tier ones, maybe? He might have one of those. I have one of the final tiers right now. I have all the upgrades except three of the final tiers.
Anyway, you can definitely do it without too much grinding. I just like to explore and wanted to grind out skill points to see some of the cool combat arts listed under the Munshin arts.

Demon of Hatred is good and infuriating and awful all at once and I hate it

Also I fought through O'rin last night and that was a pretty fun fight.
Was fairly easy after I got the knack of her pattern down though.

My favorite tool is Sabimaru but there are a lot of enemies it's not that effective with, especially considering the high emblem cost

umbrella might be tied with sabimaru or second favorite

i just got a steam friend invite from this frat boy with a picture of him smokin outta a bong as his steam avatar profile and has 330 hours played in dota over the past two weeks
eeesh

That's literally six hours of the week that he did not have DotA open.
There's no way he was playing for the entirety of that time.

playing, no, but queueing maybe
above 5k, 3-4 hour queues is totally normal on weekdays
what most people do is just start a queue and go work out
if queue pops it's time to take a break from their routine

or nap

I dunno man, maybe you know that culture far better than me, but by far the simpler answer to me is he just keeps the client open.
I've seen people doing that before, just put it open and then idle in the client for hours on end. Like not even queueing, just inactive.

hey tilde, i was thinkin we might need a new daytime mod since rika is very busy
i think it would probably be either me or you
blue and ton have work compromises i think. blue certainly can't be managing and deleting illegal content from the train's networks that's a liability, prob same for ton
what are your thoughts on that? would you have any interest
i certainly am around the most and don't mind but i think there might be some opposition for me
you're probably the most neutral

that might be one of the hardest bosses in souls

>>660976
yeah but i think leaving it open 24/7, while common and ive done it, says a lot about their playing patterns
it's prob at least 50 hours a week he's playin

>>660977
Yeah i saw the talk about it earlier.
I don't know about interest but if we need one I can do it, probably.
The biggest issue I'd guess at is that I'm in school and I rarely bring my laptop with me, not that I should be deleting questionable images and site links using a university's network for the same reasons.
But I do bring my phone and I could do stuff from that just using my cell network, but also, I tend to not look at my phone when I'm literally in-lecture, which might put me out of commission for an hour or two at a time.

I'm also hopefully getting some thing to do for work over the spring/summer break and that might keep me busy during the day, but who knows.

Like I said though if we need one, I can be the hands we need.

If the interface hasn't changed substantially since I adminnef
admin'd on tano, you should be able to do it on your phone

does anyone else even think we need one?
or does stuff seem to be getting handled fine / not an issue
i suppose it should be a community decision

I think some of the stuff could get handled at a better pace.
That's not necessarily a requisite for another mod but it is definitely a simple solution to the problem.
Whether or not it's the only solution would be dependent on Rika and Samu and as far as the evidence indicates, it does favour having someone who can be around during the day.

I don't think there's typically much work for a mod to do, but I also don't think it would hurt to have one for when there is.

Yeah, there have been times I've seen something and thought "oh this needs reporting" in the morning before going into class for the day and then coming out later in the early afternoon and seeing it still there and going "oh I guess a second report on this couldn't hurt".
I don't think it's been too bad in the immediate timeframe but it was definitely starting to get pretty regular a while back.
I guess someone came through earlier today I saw the threads are all out of line.

Hm, I seem to have lost a sock.
How annoying,

>the last boss

I love to get run off the sidewalk by a guy on a hoverboard

yo same

>you can run off the cliff and feel really intelligent
NICE

>>660987
is it Genichiro-sama

what if I said yes and no

nice
i can't wait to plunge my blade into my beloved

maybe

my favorite part of this fight so far is "MY BLOOD BOILS"

i'm gonna have to stock up on Fine Snow before the fight

Do you have any flawed snow

I don't even know if I can I didn't give my boy the tasty snack from teh cute girl

i think she only gives fine snow after she eats the serpent livers and gives you the frozen tears

>>660997
sure pal
unzips fannypack

Oh actually Papa Fukuro wasn't all that hard.
Just had to change up my fighting approach a bit.

the music for this shit is the best

>>660999
congrats on completing another questline that requires you to think to do things

>>661000
thanks nice repeating digits btw

>>661003
you missed out on a lot, huh
i didn't do the surgeon's quests though, i don't think i can
i'm like 99% sure it's impossible to do every character quest in one playthrough

>>661001
his + version you might run into later is way stronger and has crazier moves
and also a magic fire owl

>Kill your foster father
>Emma still remarks on how your brow looks less furrowed than before

>>661005
oh yeah definitely
you can't do kotaro spirit and surgeon and shopkeeper bodyguard because there are two people to split between all three.

wheres samurai

by the way this fight is some shit

>>661007
there's someone else you can use for surgeon but i did his quest instead of sending him

the hardest thing about this optional boss is actually the camera

>>661010
yeah he's also who you can give to the market

this fight is like the first time you fight your husbando because you just slowly pick up on each move and how it works
It's great

>>661014
can't wait

i wonder if there will be sekiro dlc

Well there's been DLC for every recent FromSoft game, so track record indicates yes.
But who really knows.
FromSoft, I guess.

>>661012
don't let him corner you in phase 2 and 3 either
the fireballs are death if they hit you so if you get cornered you have to suzuaku umbrella

(well they hurt like way too much for how many there areA)

There better be a DLC where we get to meet Tomoe through a memory or something
Hopefully she'll be an NPC and eventually a boss
>>661019
the charge is what usually gets me

if you run left predicting it a little you canusually dodge it

More than anything I hope we get another Sekiro-poi game in the future.
These are some really great mechanics and concepts they've designed, would be a shame to only put them to a single game.

>>661021
>lightning waifu is just a ninja Gaiden character

>>661022
yeah it's the timing that i can't get down right

>>661024
tomoe is really cool
she just fucking autismed while looking at lightning and practicing her sword skills until she could use lightning
that's what i've surmised at least from what they've said and her two combat arts you can learn

i want to play Sekiro god dammit
work is GAY

my arms hurt

Let's all quit our jobs and become JAPANESE SHINOBI.

>>661027
where?

>>661027
punch
harder
boy

not heart attack just sore
I've been playing sekiro pretty much all day

like muscle soreness in your wrist and hands?

There's oxygen in my muscles but they're tired

>>661028
i would love to be an immortal shinobi killing people for my Lord

anything that requires jumping to avoid fucks me up 90% of the time
i'm the fucking worst at jumping
i can time basically everything except for a jump

I'm pretty good at it but there's a strange timing that you need for jump accordance
avoidance
jumping doesn't happen instantly but you do get invincibility like a dodge when you jump
it's kind if weird and i can't quite pinpoint the frames you're invulnerable during

yes there's a move in phase 2 that either requires fan or jump to dodge consistently

i wonder if fan will protect me from the charge

>>661036
huh
you def don't get any i frames when jumping
there are so many bosses that punish you for jumping

i have avoided several mooks swinging through my characters model with it
like multiple guys attacking me at once from different angles
such would be impossible without some iframes
bosses have larger hitboxes that linger though, so it's probably much less effective there

this guy's got two different follow up attacks to end the same combo on
one is a sweep and the other is a stab
whew

>>661040
no, the only time there are i frames is during a deathblow according to people who studied the frame data

my umbrella has betrayed me and got me killed
oh no

i don't really like this optional boss
it feels a lot less skill based than the other bosses and is really just a return to dark souls

it is very much a dark souls boss but it is learnable
Just very hard

it's definitely learnable but it's super out of place

This boss is way more your style

i am just a little disappointed in this one
i feel like they could have made the boss more in-line with the rest of the gameplay
punishing you for playing it like dark souls and then having an endgame boss be a dark souls boss is a little silly

all of the other bosses were really hard but i had a lot of fun dying to them over and over
but this one and gyoubu just aren't fun to die to

I didn't have all that hard a time with Gyoubu.
You can clean up all his little minions and then run off to reset his aggro, sneak up behind him and knock off one of his Deathblows, then chase him towards the ally.

>>661050
Isn't Gyoubu the Drunkard the guy in Hirata Estate?

huh
what minions
ally??

gyoubu is the horse guy

Oh I see.
Names are hard.

Horseguy wasn't all that bad.
The worse -worst part was letting him get to far away from you and him starting up the swinging spear.
He was a lot easier to deal with if you constantly keep on his ass.

Amusingly enough I like both Gyobu and DoH.
I guess it's because I still like darks ouls

probably
my favorite bosses in souls and bloodborne were the human ones
micolash and stuff

was that a whoa kun

but at the same time like
non-humans in this game have been pretty fun except for gyoubu and DoH

>>661052
he's probably not that bad but he's also not very fun

like in terms of gameplay design, gyoubu is easily the most boring
he doesn't really bring anything to the table
he's just a loser running around on a horse

>I've run out of pellets
oh no

>>661057
But his NAAAAME is GYOBU MASATAKA ONIWA

use rice

>>661059
i mean yeah but he could still be the same kind of dude if he hadn't been on the horse and had interesting attack patterns

that said has anyone else noticed how great a strategy it is to just kill yourself with bite down or the hidden tooth

you can bite yourself to death??

>>661062
I've thought about incorporating it into my fight strategies but never really got around to it.

>>661063
teef poison

>>661064
it's basically unlimited healing
it's good for minibosses too since you get them to start walkin away

It's also only really feasible if you get the Hidden Tooth hah hah.
Bite Down is way too rare a find/drop to use it effectively.
Not that the tooth is a hard find but some people might not put the two and two together to unlock it.

if you don't have hidden tooth you're a bad friend
real friends kill their friends when they ask!

I gotta go get some resurrection juice

who else drops pellets good I forget

i have like 300 in storage from farming antechamber but the enemies that dropped it for me aren't there in endgame modo

>>661071
yeah pretty much

so DoH can break your umbrella

>>661065
i never thought of poisoning my bones
that would show them

I imagine the umbrella can break from enough damage but wow

maybe i'll just skip this boss
it's not really very fun
but i kind of have to because i'm so interested in the lore

Phew, finally re-activated all the Buddhas in Ashina Castle.
That was a chore.

heh

this boss should have a grapple indicator when he charges away
that would make it a lot more engaging

>>661078
gjbu

he does get one for some other attacks at least.

for the body slam i know he does

he also has one on a phase 2 attack

i think another thing that would improve this boss is to make it a shorter fight
if they really want a dark souls boss in the game it shouldn't have three phases imo

i guess i'm just upset because i've been having such a great time until now
this boss just doesn't make sense for the gameplay mechanics

I definitely know the feeling.
i.e. me with Granny

like you can't even deflect 70% of this boss' attacks without taking damage

what's the point

i wonder if there's a way to zoom the camera out a little

I'd neglected to revisit Hirata after clearing Mibu.
There's some merit to doing so.

mibu?

>>661089
Water-breathing

oh i see what you mean

You also can't talk to Owl anymore after fighting him, he's dead "for good"

not if you do a certain quest

hmm doesn't seem like i can change the camera in any meaningful way

I did it I beat the thing

after i beat the game you'll have to tell me about your ending since we'll have different ones i'm pretty sure

Yeah looking at how the endings work I can confirm you will likely get a different one.

>tfw had the pieces to some other endings but didn't do questlines in time

i wonder if there's a way to deflect DoH's attacks without taking damage and i just haven't figured it out

Hm, assuming there's as many carps as scales worth getting, I'm missing three.

there are 42 in the game that i've found

>>661099
I didn't really bother risking it.
Any attack I couldn't dodge I used the suzaku umbrella.

>>661101
42 scales, that is
not necessarily fish

Is there a second shopkeep that deals in scales?

yeah in fountainhead palace, where you can go after beating owl

yes

>Guardian Ape's Burrow is a locked Buddha
Oh no.

>>661107
have fun

well I'm beat

it's a shame they didn't include more ninjutsu
maybe there will be a few in dlc

yeah that'd be nice

also from looking at the boss list aside from owl, DoH is the biggest optional boss probably so that might be why he's such a tough boy

i mean i get that but it's just weird to me

I was also checking whether or not I missed anything too.

did you go back and get the other prayer necklaces

I have not.
I ended the game with 8
I can go and get them if I want since you can hold off on NG+
>>661118
that would make zero sense

im not sure if it matters now
i think damage scales with your vit? which is weird
but attacks seem to do proportional damage
no matter how much hp i have, certain things deal the same percentage of damage, ive noticed

Oh the guy who was doing the 0 upgrades run finished the final boss and
>the fight is 50 minutes

holy shit

he also did uh
NG+7 Ludwig fight in Bloodborne

at blood level 4 with only fists

why

m

how do people even have time for that

his job is streaming video games so I imagine that helps

living the dream i guess

oh hang on he has gourd upgrades wow INVALIDATED

does he have hp upgrades?

"No Leveling/Skills/Upgrades/Prosthetics"
and no, his hp bar is teeny tiny

doesn't even have the resurrection upgrade

do hits one-shot him?

I didn't watch the run but so far he hasn't gotten hit
I'm watching the video upload of the final boss

damn

O-oh
it // he did an 8 hour stream just for this boss it would seem.

Oh I see this isn't as terrible a thing as I was expecting.

>>661135
What?

The spoop boy?
Spookmaster was my nemesis until I have the lilac umbrella.

oh the yeah i see

>>661136
>>661107

I was thinking 'dude why isn't he using mikiri counter'
and then I remembered

when i got mikiri countered by that one boss i felt so violated
"yeah it happens to my enemies but never to me"

who can even do it to you

owl can do it occasionally if you time a thrust poorly, and owl+ does it like 20% of the time if you thrust him from in front

>>661143
figures

so far the best fight in this game is definitely genichiro
i hope the last fight is as good as him

Oh I'm pretty sure you'll love it.

Too bad it won't be able to wash the taste of DoH out of my mouth.

I'm having a hard time because even though I was smacked around like nobody's business I actually really like DoH.
It's the Ebrietas situation.
Beat me up for four hours and I'll go 'you're my favorite'

What a masochist.

i want an enemy that's on equal footing with me but better than me
i want another human with the same capabilities as me
that's the only thing that will satisfy me\

>>661151
i won't let DoH be the last boss i fight
i can't end it on a sour experience

go tickle the end boss and do DoH some other time then fam
you'll have an attack boost too.

almost got him that time

phase 3 has some nasty attacks
on top of the already nasty ones

the follow-up perilous is what got me that time
it was my first time seeing it

Honestly I could have warned you and maybe should have
It's hella rude.

Since he already has other follow ups on that attack.

i was like 2 feet away from him because he charged into a wall i was next to so he got me with it
he was at like 25% hp on final form

oof

but now i gotta go farm until i have my nodes back just in case

Oof ow my nodes

ton, are you gonna get more skills or are you gonna + your atk power with skill points from now on?

there are still some skills I want but I honestly have no idea
I will probably leave Sekiro alone for a little bit.

wow so you can take burn build up while you're doing a deathblow even during i frames

that sounds pretty common for from soft games since that's how even stuff like bleed and whatnot went

Yeah because a lot of fire damage will -fire build-up will accumulate even if you're not taking damage.
Like try guarding against one of those losers with a torch.
You won't take (much) damage, but you'll get the fire all the same.

yeah but i frames are different from blocking
if you're deathblowing someone and someone else throws fire at you while you are, taking fire build up seems weird
the fire can hit you but people's blades can't?

Well like Tony said, there is precendence for status effects having build up even i f the damage isn't.
And really, it's logically more sensible for you to get lit on fire if someone sticks a torch in your face regardless of what you're doing.
That said, FromSoft does try to generally make enemies recoil from you when you do a deathblow, probably as to not have ridiculous situations like this arise.

precedence is entirely irrelevant from my point which is that it's inconsistent

there's a precedent of things being inconsistent
checkmate

Can you help me with something? I'm trying to remember the name of that shoujo anime from the 80s that is super popular and is like 100 episodes

Super vague, but I can't remember much about it since I haven't seen it yet.

>>661169
and it shouldn't have been inconsistent in the past although it was kind of unavoidable due to the way dark souls works

there shouldn't be any i frames during deathblows is what im saying

>>>/@granblue_en/1112191477566701568

my laptop is refusing to shut down because "power button is not responding"

>there shouldn't be iframes during deathblows
do you want to die when fighting groups of fenemies?

>>661174
yes i want to fucking die

>>661174
yeah basically
i think no i frames there would be more in the spirit of the game

@imats

idk what kind of data they're mining but this is obviously clearly ghosting through a hitbox
his sword passes directly through me
i take no damage and no poise damage and no blood

>>661176
do you have any idea how annoying it would be to try and kill thigns
you would just get knocked out of every kill

>>661178
maybe im not good at seeing things but i don't see the sword passing through you
maybe my eyes are too slow

>>>/@granblue_en/1112190187289743361

>>661180
frames 93, 94, 95 of that clip

makes me wonder if some kind of hitbox magic is going on when you jump?
does sekiro not have legs?

>>661182
huh
interesting
maybe it's counting his legs as being in a different position than they actually are
because sweep attacks hit you if they hit that part of your legs and im 100% sure there are parts of your body that take damage even during jumping

Wow this sure is a way to get to the Palace.

>>661184
after playing around with this guy i can at least confirm 100% of the time that you get NO invulnerability or any way to avoid his regular swing by jumping in place
but jumping in any direction at full walking speed lets me dodge it even if the sword passes through my character
jumping at walk speed does not work it seems to be just as effective as jumping in place, i simply take damage in midair

Hm, my load times in and out of this cutscene are pretty long.
I was worried when it was loading that my game might be crashing.

>>661186
i have taken damage while jumping in a direction many many times
so idk

Oh SHIT a REMATCH.

>>661188
yeah same
i think the amount of iframes you get from this and step dodge are so miniscule they aren't applicable to a lot of the enemies
this guy's sword attack is only active for like 5 or 6 frames. so a tenth of a second or so
parry is active for way longer

>>661189
congrats that's one of my favorite fights

>>661190
yeah i guess so

man I can't believe we're going to fly through space and do magical garbage

ill just do brain stuff

i'm going to be space ghost
come on my talk show

>it's just ghost voices but in space

i think after looking at the video frame by frame it probably gives you about 6 or 8 frames after the initial jump
the duck that sekiro does before jumping takes 7 frames
so it's 7 frames where you're vulnerable then a small window where you're invulnerable then you are vulnerable again for the rest of the jump (~80 frames)
probably just to make it more fluid in making you feel like a ninja
i don't recommend trying to dodge things by jumping through them

it would look pretty stupid if you took off from the ground for like a split second and got 3 inches into the air before getting slapped by a sword after all

you can do that to enemies though

enemies aren't supposed to look cool unless they're a boss

then again you can do it to butterfly
hm

knocking an old granny on her keister is all in good fun though

so what do i do with this holy chapter infested thingy

you can give it to divine child-chan

i only know divine lord-kun right now
i got it from some guy who isnt here anymore in senpou temple before i killed tomoe-kouhai

he told me to give it to the divine heir but my lord doesn't care

where did you get the sword my dude

>folding screen monkeys
OK what hte fuck

>>661204
then complete senpou

>>661207
it's so cool
such a cool boss

>>661209
he doesn't have fushigiri yet

>>661207
what happened immediately never mind I guess?

oh wow it had not even occurred to me that you could not have fushigiri

i literally went as far as i could go in all directions i was not supposed to be going

before going back to ashina castle

i decided to read Hagakure since i had it around

>>661214
are you really confusing jan and tilde

wait then who did you rematch

that wasn't me

I'm getting Tilde and Jan mixed up again aren't I

I do this all the fucking time

"Victory or defeat is a matter of chance. Avoiding shame is a different matter. Simply be prepared to die. Even if you see no chance of prevailing, just attack."

man
bushido is the best

I'm sorry jan

where the FUCK is the purple monkey

>>661218
Notorious B.U.S.H.I.D.O.
Ready to Die

WHERE IS THE PURPLE ONE REEEE

did you look inside all the buildings

i found him finally
hes on the roof
looking this way
im gonna fuckin trick him

>>661223
yo my mom called me and was like "hey it's the end of the month i know you're prolly pretty broke did you want me to wire you like 50 bucks so you can be sure you have what you need, energy drinks and beer and stuff"
like wtf
i appreciate the sentiment but ive been telling her for months ive stopped

yess i got him
but there's still boss health left
wtf

Hah hah hah I thought that might be the case for you.
I was waiting for the confusion.

one of the monkeys is missing at the front?
HMM

or is it

>>661225
that sounds annoying
i hate when people do that

is there a fucking invisible monkey

>>>/@Lythero/1112177355403993088
dummy thicc

>>661230
yeah

FOUND HIM
he left footsteps
yay

Yeah I think he follows you around the map hah hah.
I think he was the first or second monkey I killed.
Was getting fed up chasing the other losers around and I realized I was hearing monkey footsteps following me around.
And then I finally clued in on what the yellow footprints I was seeing were.

>hear no evil
>speak no evil
>see no evil

>do no evil
i killed the good monki :(

he was second for me too

>>661234
now get ready to meet best girl
rise and grind, jan, time to get that rice

good morning time for rice.

i got TWO attack ups back to back
i am going to FUCK the gun fort

>>661239

me irl

>>661241
Oh it took me a moment but yeah man that's good.

>>661242
To be fair he was told to get it by his ARUJI he can't just leave it there.

Plus by now he probably knows he can't die.

>>661241
oh man this is classic

delicious rice
im gonna eat it in front of her to show her how much i love her gift

>>661245
he does die twice

>>661247
The Divine Child is such a nice girl.
She's just so happy to see how much you love rice.

purge the heretica

i look so cool with this odachi on my back

divine child, orin, and emma are all perfect and i want to protect them

>>661251
Yeah it really completes the look.
You're not a real Shinobi until you've got THREE (3) swords anyway.

GIVE ME MORE RICE BITCH

man where do I get more scrap iron?
i think i messed up and tried leveling too many subweapons
i have a lot more magnetite than iron now

A lot of low-level samurai from Ashina Outskirts/Castle will drop it.
Pop one of those balloons that give you item drop boosts and go to town on them.
You'll probably also still find some laying about if you look into nooks and crannies.

Also if you tell the looter-turned-merchant what it is the samurai want I think he expands his inventory to contain unlimited purchasable scrap iron and black gunpowder.

>>661256
ah domo
i used one and killed all the samurai in the front of ashina castle and got like 5

how does ledge grabbing work ??

It's pretty omni-directional.
You just have to be on-level with the ledge you're trying to grab.
I guess they probably could have fine-tuned it a bit better, but there's a couple platforming segments in the game that probably would have been way more frustrating without the leniency permitted by how you can pretty much be facing whatever direction.

Tadaimasu

Yeah no Tony the rematch with this guy is a way worse fight than the original.

Oh what the hell it's SNOWING AGAIN.
GO AWAY WINTER I'M DONE WITH YOU.

>>>/watch?v=g3nrTFu-2LQ

>DO NOT ring this bell, bad shit will happen
pfft yeah
>rings bell
>bad shit happens
oh no

At least they're clear to you about what happens when you ring it.
It's easy to remove too if you don't want to deal with it.

guess i'll see just how bad the burden to bear really is
but not now
i must sleepiro

>>661270
you never know

moshi moshi

Iiesu desu

>>661274
cute as always

>>661261
also wtf
that fight kicks ass

It really doesn't.
That added move it gets in the second phases -phase is just lousy, there's literally nothing you do but hold block until it's done. It's a total time-waster.
The slimmer arena is a little frustrating in its own right, but what's worse is the bridge can literally be side-stepped off of into a bottomless pit.
The camera gets wonky when you get close to the walls which can make trying to fight a huge pile of lard a real nightmare.
And while the third stage is a return to fun, it literally will kill you out of reincarnation like 20% of the time.

Honestly drop that second phase and just go straight to the third phase and I probably wouldn't have been so particular about it.
The rest of the detractors are negatives that still make it less fun than the original fight but that second phase is just pure garbage.

The secret is to drop the second phase.
You can skip it if you're fast enough.

You can do a drop deathblow on her in the second phase as soon as her first darkness attack completes, skipping the second phase completely.

nah i love my thick spear queen

>>661280
Well that would have been nice to know eight hours ago. hah hah.

it’s nothing i can complain about anyway when mergo’s wetnurse basically has the same attack but worse

monk-chan is kinda bloodborney yeah
but she's honestly a little too easy imo
i would have preferred no second phase, just first and third, but more moves in each phase
as it is, you can just deflect and get her easily for the first and second phase for the most part

monk was a good design and i enjoyed the fight but i was disappointed at the difficulty of it
i felt corrupted monk was actually a little more difficult but maybe that's because it was my first time meeting her

well baturally
it feels easier because you have literally fought a lot of that boss previously
its like when you fight bball boy again, i was like “oh heck yeah” because i had expectations on what to deal with with anticipation for what new moves they would get

slam jam was easier the second time on one hand because he took so much more damage but on the other hand the arena was a lot smaller so i couldn't bait out his easy to counter or evade sliding slash


owl rematch was really good though

i would love to have fought that but oh well

you'll have to get it in NG+

though there is a different set of bosses that would prevent me from fighting that regardless
siding with the iron code gets you a sooner ending with a different final boss it seems

I had a feeling that would get you a quicker ending.
You probably get cut down by Emma or Isshin or something. You probably become a Shura from 2much killing.

>>661290
judging from the boss list you fight both, and the associated endjng is called the Shura ending

Yeah I'm pretty much the best
It was obvious that would be the BAD END.

honestly my ending was a but of a bummer too so hopefully yours is better

Kuro died in yours, right? Emma told me I had to learn about Hirata estate so we could find a way to prevent Kuro from dying when we severe the ties of immortality. But Divine Child wants Kuro to sleep within her cradle, and I don't know if that means Kuro will die, but if it makes her happy, I'm all about it.

>>661294
Sekiro kills Kuro with the mortal blade to sever immortality, then goes and sculpts buddhas like the sculptor. Emma gives him the prosthetic to give tk another Shinobi it for when they need strength

aside from the ones ive talked about, there are two more endings which you might even have both the conditions fulfilled

I suspect there's a choice because my two options right now are to give him dragon tears and one of two items

>>661297
mine was dragon tears, the you can also give the aromatic flower from owl in hirata or the frozen tears from rice-chan to get two different endings on top of that

wait does that mean youve done the final voss

No, I haven't played since last night.
I'll play again in an hour or two.

ah.

>Grants the ability to exchange Skill Points for Attack Power
Oh shit.

takes 5 points though

considering i have only unlocked like 75% of the skills and skill points take like 23k xp to get, i probably won't ever be able to use it
unless you get tons of xp in NG+

obviously the best way for me to familiarize myself and quit getting jan and tilde mixed up is to play tabletop games with both of them in a couple months

I wish I could re-spec my skill points in Sekiro.
Most of the end combat arts are really bad because they use so many emblems.
My favorite one, Spiral Cloud Passage, ends up using like 6 to 9 of them depending on how long I attack.
Shadowrush uses like 4.
Ashina Cross uses 2 which is certainly not bad, but it's still a lot.

The only end CA that doesn't use emblems is High Monk so it ends up being the best one, I think.
I've spent probably 20 skill points on all these CAs that are barely usable

Maybe I can re-spec in NG+ somehow

It took me way too long to find the way to get to the Pot Noble in Fountainhead Palace.
Like, I could see the cliff right from the get-go but the route to get there was impossible for me to see for like, five hours, hah hah.

Yeah, it took me forever to find that

Urghfgh.
Spending too much time in the Fountainhead Palace has the flute song echoing in my ears even after closing the game.

>>>/@minakami_mimimi/1111914330507735040

DoH's charge is probably the hardest thing about him.
The hitbox is a little wide and it does full damage if you're in it at all.

Which I guess is just a consequence of how the game handles damage.
There are sweet and sour spots for a lot of enemies, but enemies are all so small that they don't need spots like that for dealing damage. Bosses that are 3x the size of other enemies end up one-shotting you if they bump you with their foot quickly because of that.
It probably would have been difficult to add sweet and sour for damage, especially if it's only relevant for one enemy.

Not impossible, but it would be extra few weeks of work and introduce a lot of possible bugs, I bet.

especialyl if it is just one big enemy etc vs dozens o smalls

Yeah, it would be unreasonable for them to do so much work for one optional boss.

For example taking past examples with Dark Souls
the scaleless dragon had a spot on him, whereh e could only attackyou with the AOE ground attack
nothing else
I just rushed there on accident and zerged the fucker

Or prince of persia
the third game, two thrones had one giatn enemy
and his feet were a fucking annoying hitbox dealing unreasonable damage to you

The simplest solution would be to just not have a large boss, but I guess it wouldn't be a modern FromSoft game if they didn't have at least one boss that was 3-4 times your size.

so what boss iti s
some giant or some beast?

It's called Demon of Hatred. It's kind of like the Lawrence Cleric Beast from Bloodborne, but it's a bit more aggressive and you can't abuse i frames with it. Blocking many of its attacks results in damage because it's on fire. The most difficult part of it, though, is that it spends a lot of time pushing you away and then spamming fireballs at you that deal tons of damage, as well as a charge attack that's difficult to avoid and does about 75% of your HP.

>don't become a beast lawrence
>okay
>few days later: ROAAAAAAAAAAAR t first vicar

I wonder if Bloodborne 2 would be as enjoyable as Bloodborne now that I've been spoiled by Sekiro.

ift they do a bb2, I wish they will have it take place somewehre completely different from the bb1 location

They'd have to, really.
Besides, all the Dark Souls games take place in different times (in the same place) so they're effectively different places.

yeah and in a completely different universe
Bloodbourne could be happening in our 19th century england and we wouldn't know about it

I think I'll skip DoH if I don't beat him soon since he's not particularly fun.
I can get him in another playthrough when my skills are better.
I spent a lot of time getting skills that turned out to be more-or-less useless and skipped some skills that would really help out here, but it would take an hour or two of grinding to get enough skill points at the point, since I have so many already.

oh yeah that is basically where I left my dark souls run

nasa is promising 16,5k€ for participating in an experiment that will have you lay in bed for 60 days

not worth it imo

oh there's a uh
ng+ extra difficulty option where you take chip damage when blocking attacks

>>661340
Yeah, and well anyhow you need to be fleunt in german to do it

>>661341
It's a shame there isn't an item or skill that increases your attack power as your HP gets lower.

that would combo well with the yarahiko candy

Nah, it'd probably be % based.
And that candy lowers your max HP, so you'd still have a high % and it'd be harder to get to a lower % without dying.

Oh, when an enemy used it it lowered theirs
that's a shame.

It does lower your HP, but it does it by lowering your max HP to half.
So when it wears off, you're at half HP, but during its use, you're at full HP unless you take damage.

I wonder if anything happens if you beat genichiro in the first fight

Gah
EU wants to force us to use digital services to log int o our banks

current system here for bank and online verification is that you have a bank account number, a 8 or so number
and then you have a one use 4 number pincode that you use to log in
the traditional system, is that you get a list of 80 one time use, used in numerical order starting from 1., that you use to sign in
when it is exhausted, basically you use 60th, the bank mails you a new one in a week or so

so
Eu made a directive about Online identification and payment that requires that fulfill 2 of the following 3 conditions
>1. it is something that the user knows (ie. pin-code or a password
>2. it is something the user possesses (ie phone app or a separate password machine)
>3. it is something the user "is" (ie. fingerprint or face recog)
so
the argument is that the password lists don't fulfill the 2nd condition
as in you can EASILY JUST COPY IT

FOR FUCKS SAKE

HOW IS IT EASILY COPYABLE?

you have to either steal a wallet or break in and find wherever the person in question ahs hidden their pincode list
and even then it is 100% useless, as you need to KNOW which pin code to use next
and also crack their 8+ bank account pin code

For fucks sake a PHONE APP is more likely to break the 2nd clause, since phones are so easily lost or stolen and many malwares could break in and target these kinds of services specifically, especially in the future wehre they are the norm.

Fucking pile of brüssel shit that hates reason and logick

wow that's lame

mortal draw huh

yeah dont' get hit by that

i did just to see what would happen so i won't do it again

does anything special happen besides damage

no, but you take damage even if you block
which is what i was testin

yeah

Using this same logic
your fingerprint is easily copyable
you can just chop off someone's arm

god I hate needless bureaucracy and rules ment to make some shithole countries get up to digital standards of others, that just actually inconvenience everyone involved, who actually have better systems in place already

it'll be easy since i got him to 1/2 hp on first try

it also protects against all his attacks except his grab

also there are no listed prices there

yes that is not the actual menu, just the sign out front so ppl know what's there today
their prices are always about the same though
7-8 dollars for smaller items, 12-14 dollars for larger items

quite reasonable

This second phase.
Oh gosh.
He's so perfect.

yes they don't have very high overhead being a food "truck"
it's not an actual truck but it's like a small thing with the outdoor tables and that awning or whatever it's called, prop-up roof that covers the area
meant for quick stop by, order, eat and stay nearby or go
not saving a table and waiting on a server and all that nonsense
so they can make good food quite reasonably priced
but the downside is a lot of people, if they're not going to a sit-inside place, will probably just go to fast food for cheaper and quicker meal but less good
they either want cheap and meh OR expensive and great but don't really see a point in the middle ground
so there's trade-offs

post the rest of them too

why would I do that

Wow, someone gave me a new client. They scheduled this client on Friday afternoon for tomorrow morning.
I'm supposed to start individual therapy with this client, because their intake is already done, but I know nothing about the client and there's no information in our records about him.
So I'm supposed to go in tomorrow and ask someone who the fuck they are and why they're here tomorrow.
Moreover, it's court mandated treatment for 8 sessions? Knowing nothing about him means I have to waste one of those sessions actually figuring out who this person is.
I'm also not supposed to be taking new individual clients right now because I'm possibly leaving this clinic in May.
I'm trying to extend my time slightly, but that's not set in stone yet, so why am I getting new clients like this?
What a waste. Totally irresponsible by the admin assistant who threw me this client without even telling me they existed.

oh god i jumped off a cliff trying to avoid a sweep and died

but there's nothing online about it anywhere
i wonder if she's just making stuff up again

You should sometime gaslight her as a change

Things keep distracting me from Sekiro.
I've only managed to fight the final boss like five times in the past hour or two!
He sure is exciting, though.
I'll probably have to finish him off tomorrow.

I'm getting close, though.
Almost finished phase 2.
If I'd had a resurrection node full, I would have gotten through it.
I should have anticipated that.

How does death work in the game?
in ds you just reset at a bonfire and undead are immortal anyhow or something
in bb you just reincarnate in the house and then enter the eldritch dream over and over again

if you resurrect, you just stand right back up
if you get a true death, you go back to the last idol you rested at

naw I was thinking more like the story behind it

you've been blessed by the blood of the Divine Heir who carries within him the dragon's lineage. those who are blessed by the blood will never die
there are others who have an imperfect immortality, they're called infested

>blood of a creature
wait
>who have imperfect immortality are infested
and also monsters?
or something

what if
sekiro
is actually related to bloodborne lorewise?

definitely not, the blood doesn't work like that at all

different elder being different effects?

well, if you assume a different god means everything can be 100% different, then we can say any game takes place in the same world as sekiro

people with imperfect immortality don't become monsters
and those people didn't get their immortality from blood

im makin an offering to the god of espresso

>>661439
Well that is shotdown before it took off

yeah there's really no way they're connected
there's only one time someone becomes anything other than human and they don't have any kind of immortality

Just found the "blood" thing interesting since itwas a heavy theme in bb

the blood isn't something that's an important part of the story
it's part of the context but you never really talk about it or read about it or anything
they mention it to set up the story and establish sekiro's immortality
also, only the Divine Heir can bless someone with true immortality

Mmh, but would have been amusing if they had hidden some stuff there that would tie the story of yarnhams blood healing to whatever is in sekiro
and then make bloodborne 2 a sequel to both games

i would like to see other games set in the universe of sekiro but the gameplay is very geared towards being a shinobi so outside of Japan would probably not work
unless you changed a lot
but that's fine
im fine with other gameplay styles as long as they're as good as sekiro
sekiro is a big improvement over all of the souls game imo
and it takes everything great about bloodborne and builds off it

https://mangadex.org/title/29280/339-years-of-penal-servitude
check this manga mats
2 chps out, but completed in terms of publication, but the basic scenario might be fun to check out

ive been thinkin a lot about how sensory input informatically affects the pattern of processing information
and how the body's biological drives play a part in how we mitigate large data structures that occupy a lot of processing space, limiting the stimulation potential to acute sensory signals
and how the ability to foster those needs, both in minimalizing excessive unpleasant stimuli and in offering the freedom to fulfill drives as needed, would allow for more processing space during early developmental years
that is something that people socially and financially well off have an advantage for in child rearing and the intelligence potential in the child

i mean it's not a new idea that IQ demographics are driven mostly by socioeconomic factors
but having a really concrete model of the informatics of that is a lot more interesting than what's often perceived as the reasoning
i think people think about that in terms of social systems, like being well networked and have financial access to better schools and more social opportunities
that's not to say those don't play a part but it's that top-down view between the person and the society
as opposed to the bottom-up from the sensory quanta to the internal processing

any thoughts
is that clear and communicable
i think i need to clean it up a bit

^no

might bej ust my english not being up to standards, but dnno

>>661499
then i give you the honest feedback that if you want to advertise to other boards
consider a normal url
nobody wants to click on that
you'll probably have more visitors

>>661502
no that's okay, that's valuable still
not all of my peers are native english so i need to consider that too

naw is more that one needs to read it few times to fully internalize it
in the end, no matter what you do your brain is "programmed" in your first learnt language and especially most used so words with multiple meanings can be confusing

reminds me of an essay from soem 1970s english professor of theology during english course in university, that was picked up to translate JUST BECAUSE
it was 100% science jargon
the person in question didn't write it intentionally so, but because of the culture in that particualr university at the time, many people used "big word" and complicated structure and so forth, in order to make their work seem more impressive than it actually was.

I think the most impressive was a sentence of some 30-40 words
that all translated essentially to the same one word
was hard to believe it wasn't a satire of the "posh professor".

do you think my post had a lot of jargon
obviously it wasnt formal since i didnt even break it into sentences

and yeah, "programmed in your first language" is kind of what a lot of this is based around
linguistic entropy
a big part more than the biological sensory functions (sight smell etc)
would be the linguistic sensory functions in the lexical processing of the brain
storage of how sounds form to words with meaning

not necessarily to the intelligence point from before, but it envelopes or shapes how we structure information
and those structures require different amounts of attention, holding capacity of received information (how much you have to keep in active memory until it's a whole structure, like how long or how many parts of a sentence there are)
so the impulses and the biological responses to them are all gonna be different
and by biological drive here, not big drives in this case like hunger or sleep, but "microdrives" i guess, like trying to mimic a sound you hear with your own voice when young, or the drive to nod your head and say "mm-hmm, mm-hmm" when listening to someone talk to show you've received that information fine and are still following along

is just more of the word usage
processing followed by drive as in say "need to eat", referencing "biological drive", confused me for a bit
as my brain thinks of it with "processing - computer stuff, drive okay computer stuff again"

>>>/@infinote/1112464199194599425

>>661506
but how would you build a model of any kind for it
and what would its usage be
I guess an obvious use is to somehow work it to child bearing and educational facilities, kindergarden and schools and so on, but it wouldn't really affect the private life of families, unless you somehow manage to inform everyone of it or something.

you dont have to respond if it's a chore, i appreciate the feedback youve given
thanks for takin the time

>>661509
right right
this doesnt make any judgments about humanity, just a statement about it
or a statement about a model of it
it doesnt mean we need to change things, other than our understanding about how we view intelligence
there are other things that matter besides intelligence in the development, and they're all tailored to the kind of life that child needs to prepare for in their own individual life.

i would build a model by just building a system using this idea
so i can show that such a system can exist
from there somebody more psychology-based can build systems they can use from their knowledge
im not concerned with how these systems trace to reality. i am intereted in if we can use these systems to make our own processes and applications, // i got nothin more

god there is a character named arlock in this manga and I keep reading it as Airlock

>>661511
NEat
did got me thinking about somethign else, though
Basically our school system. In all tests and such we always if not #1 are in top 5 in world scores for our basic education, but however despite - if you can say so - having the brightest school age kids on the planet, our universities aren't that well represented, even if you scale it down to population and so on
Ie. of course well funded academies in much bigger economies will produce more stuff logically and not only employ their own brightest, but also brightest moving there from elsewhere, after either better research facilities or just better pay.

Our basic school system is indeed good, and atleast from personal experience from my time can attest to it being an overall pleasant experience, so if good environment and allowing kids to flourish well helps intelligent development as it does,
damn when you go on tangents you forget what you originally were thinking about quick

But anyhow, someone recently did write about this disrepancy between our university level and our basic education level and said something should be done about it, to which another more rooted person wrote back "let's not even try to challenge the top universities of the world, we simple lack the MONEY"

Taking the universities out of the picture and trying to return to the ghist
I think in terms of allowing kids to develop the best, atleast during their school hours, we have that model down at a decent level, which is why our basic education scores are as high as they are, but that doesn't still produce the "geniuses" you'd expect or something like that. It just leds kids develop as best as they can and I bet elswehere if similiar system and similiar amount of resources was applied, the results would level out to the same.

Still does make one think, does our university/higher education level have some reforming to do, or do we just get taht bad brain drain?

sekirooooo

>>661515
>damn when you go on tangents you forget what you originally were thinking about quick
i know right
maybe the accomodations provided to allow for more intelligent development involves exclusion of knowledge it'd otherwise be spent on
like dealing the unpleasant things that were trimmed out for more space
dealing with*
so maybe you guys just aren't as globally aggressive about your knowledge as other places because you didn't have a success measure based on aggressive competition, as youve got good education systems that are more easily accessible

i think that can be a good thing for a culture as it demands less energy on application to prove something
and can spend that money on developing its knowledge
spend that energy* not money

I think that the moment we decided to enter the global stage, we began to get fucked up as a society
A sort of happiness comes from a limited isolation if you ask me.
A kind of a how you want your home to be your home and the outside world to be the outside world
you don't want to invite the latter to the former, atleast on permanent basis
and it would be dull if the outside was the same as inside
similiarly, the world can be the world and the home can be the home.

Still we are supposedly the happiest nation on the plaent.

Also it is kinda amusing how while competition in general is good, but aggressiveo ne alteast if you ask me isn't
as that kinda implies that some will resort to not so pure means to win
if it is a competition of merit, then sure, but once it starts to involve other means, it won't ensure that the best wins
just the most aggressive one
or well successful aggressive tactics

well when i was thinking of aggressive competition in terms of knowledge
i mean how much resource they're willing to invest in proving itself to other countries
like china is all about proving itself, so they invest so much of their knowledge and academia into application and production, making things and engineering type stuff
they dont invest hard in pure academia in comparison, like much of europe does
by not being competitive i think you get to dictate what's important to you instead of always slowing down and compromising

Definitely
speaking of education, I don't really see the point of trying to highly educate everyone, atleast in universities
what is the point of a hundred doctors or engineers, if none of them know how to build a road

or if even if they do, lack the strenght to work those shovels

>>661524
or how to build their own homes with plumbing and running water
that's the tradeoff you get, when you remove the need to learn that stuff in order to learn other stuff
someone else now needs to do that

I remember this one depunkle of a debate from mayeb 10 years or more ago
it was some politicians talking in the parliament or in a talk show
can't remember the deets
BUt overall the shtick was first topic being "we need to imrpove our higher level education system" and so on and so forth
and then the very next topic was "we are lacking in people willing and capable of doing the basic jobs" and the person, I think it was the Minister of Education, somehow didn't see the ironic humour of their previous comments about universities and then "wonder why we are lacking in manual labour" comments
ofc their solution to the latter was the obvious one, but let's not get into that

But I think in europe there is a general over valuing of education, well high level education.
>>661529
paint yourself coloured if you aren't and proceed

are they in need of manual labor
can i visa in and get a job there

>>661528
is that a phrase of some origin or are you saying become an ethnic minority

latter
BUt in all seriousness, it is amusing how in the past it was basically buyers market, well not entirely there was still competition for jobs, but basically you could atsome level CHOOSE what kind of summer job or part time work you could do as a student, but nowadays after some "increase in labour force" there is actual strict competition for those jobs.
which has led to more and more students having to fund their education with debt instead of jobs

to answer your question earlier a little more clearly
modeling a system by processes is a lot more accurate than modeling a system by cause-effect
so breaking down the sensory perception into processes would give people in other fields a bunch of new tools for examining the structures they know a lot about (and i know little about)

why is Mussolini's granddaughter even an elected official
does italy not think that's weird?

Weird maybe, but why not?

or do you believe in sins of the ancestors and that jazz

Well she's not her grandfather.
I'm a little surprised she got elected but maybe Italy was able to look past her ancestry.
Or maybe they voted her in for her ancestry I don't know Italian culture.

Either way nothing about being her grandfather's granddaughter should inherently disqualify her from election.

Well she has quite much pure meme potential at the very least

>>661570
if she's not her grandfather, she should stop acting like him
she's a far right pseudo-fascist

which anyone with a brain could have predicted

Predicted on what, her grandfather?
Even two generations out people can be drastically different humans than their bloodline.

I mean she probably showed tendencies of stuff like that beforehand but that's something that should be attributed to her as her own person not as "Mussolini's granddaughter".

She later was a candidate for the post of mayor of Naples, but was defeated by Antonio Bassolino. Her relations with Gianfranco Fini, leader of the Alleanza Nazionale, never were very good, she announced; she then later withdrew, resigning over differences with him at least once.[12] She unsuccessfully challenged him for leadership of the party when he withdrew support for Benito Mussolini in a television interview in January 2002.[13][14]

Mussolini suddenly left National Alliance on 28 November 2003, following the visit of party leader and the Deputy Prime Minister Gianfranco Fini to Israel, where he described fascism as part "the absolute evil" with regard to the Holocaust as he apologised for Italy's role as an Axis Power during the Second World War.[15] Mussolini, however, defended the right of Israel to exist and declared that the world "should beg forgiveness of Israel".[16]

wew

she literally founded a neo-fascist party in 2005 and she's still an elected official
it's fucking bizarre

But seriously mats, you are going "sins of the father" here
even if in this case you are right, saying >>661572 is basically saying "anyone with evil parents is likely to be evil"

no, im not saying they are likely to be evil
im saying that power dynamics are passed down through families. this is an empirical fact. the fact that she behaves like her grandfather in regard to power dynamics is completely predictable
these things are literally passed down through families

im not saying she should never have been given a chance. im saying she's openly been her grandfather's granddaughter for like 20 years and yet she's still an elected official and behaving like her grandfather

on a read of her wiki page she is a quite curious case

she seems like a pretty typical case to me
she's a generic fascist

Mussolini then formed her party and organized a far-right coalition named Social Alternative. That was a surprising move, as Mussolini, during her political career, had always taken social progressive stances on many issues, including abortion,[3] artificial insemination,[4][5] gay rights[6][7][8] and civil unions.[9][10] She has been an outspoken "feminist".[11] and has been described by conservative commentators as a "socialist"[12] and a "left-winger"[13]

this thing just gets cited over and over

seems more like, while who knows her actual beleifs, that she did a political switch to gain well
more political credit and power, but i bet she does worship her grandfather on some level

fascism has always in every instance co-opted left wing "progressive" ideas
they do it to trick workers into giving them power
this is a very well documented phenomena

Political carreer since 1992?
yeah an evil mastermind of 15 years in making

Well fascism is an italian invention and all italianscan do is backstab

>>661577
btw she was born 1962 so I guess whatever family survived ww2, did pass on the legacy of papa mussolini "well"

like look at this she doesn't even hide that she's a fascist

>>661584
yeah, power dynamics are passed down usually

>>661585
or at the very least a positive view of the gayfolk

>>661585
not in hitler family atleast

One of Stalin's granddaughters is a Buddhist that runs an antique shop in Oregon.

Yup
and she even deserted to USA during the cold war

>>661566
you would be ashamed from an insect seeing you naked ??

>>661587
>>661588
this doesn't change anything
im talking about power dynamics, not being evil
people with authoritarian power dynamics can be good or evil
just because the hitler family is essentially committing suicide, it doesn't mean they don't have authoritarian tendencies
ofc it doesn't mean they do, either
it depends on how much they were socialized by their parents and such things

this phenomena has been widely accepted for decades, it's weird that you guys are trying to deny it in a case where we can clearly see those dynamics were passed down

But you just said it can or can not happen depending on they were socialized by their parents.
The fact that she evidently turned out that way therefore doesn't eliminate the possib//sorry no this isn't right.
The fact that she's Mussolini's granddaughter therefore doesn't neccessitate that she would end up an awful person, even if evidently she inherited his authoritarian behaviour.

But at the start of this discussion you just dropped her as "Mussolini's granddaughter" without any context as to what she was like, but evidently had a negative opinion of her.
So without any other information it looks like you were disparaging her for being his granddaughter, which is what prompted PK's "sins of the father" and my questioning on what was wrong with being Mussolini's granddaughter.

I don't stay informed on world politics, I don't -want- to know every little detail on what's going on in countries I can't even have an impact in. That's way too much information for me to handle.
I didn't even know this woman was in the political sphere.

Makes you think what kind of parenting she had
were they super against mussolini, which caused her to rebel and be pro
or were they, despite having lived through ww2 and had their parent be one of the major players in it, who mind you was lynched by a mob, still idolize him?
Or did she just decide to use "mussolini" as political capital later on when noting else worked?

Italian politics is populism on all sides, btw, guys literally invented it afterall

seems a little weird to go all-in on defending someone you didn't even know existed
are you sure you're not just trying to disparage me for something because you misunderstood what i was saying?

give me your skin fleshie

>>661594
Neither of us went all in we just reacted to you just posting >>661567

Yeah, pretty much.
Then it gets followed up with "as anyone with a brain could have predicted" where the only information given so far is that she's Mussolini's granddaughter.
As you established, can potentially result in her having his power structure tendencies but isn't a guaranteed causation.

I'm not defending her I'm defending my original point as not an unjustified place of confusion that you were saying we should have predicted her authoritarian tendencies because of her grandfather.

In terms of "having an infamous world wide near real life cartoon villain" as a grand father, I'd think it would cause you to be LESS like them more likely to be like them

>>661597
i also explained her history of association with fascism
in fact her political career began 20+ years ago with a fascist party and she even established fascist parties herself
yes, it was absolutely predictable that she would turn out to be a fascist

it seems to me like you were just ignorant about her and it led you to not understand me even after i started clarifying

Well believe what you will then.
I should have just ignored this topic as I normally do.

So I guess "sins of the father" is a real thing
good to know when eliminating enemies, that you will have to eliminate their entire family and their butler/maid/whatever

and pets
they may have learned from their master

Hmm
I wonder what is the view of italy towards ww2, when you think about it.
Sure they did go to war, but they didn't have their hands that red in any massacres or genocide

Mussolini got more italians killed just through plain incompetency of the army than any purges or the ilk
never really studied this topic

No, haven't managed to yet.
I'll try to remember to look in on it after I'm done with the semester.
I'm coming up on the end of it and things are starting to get a bit heavy.
And I've been doing enough running away from it all recently.

yes of course
it would be that time of year i suppose
are things looking like theyre gonna be okay
any trouble classes

I'm not entirely sure.
As opposed to last year where I -last semester where I pretty much just abandoned one class to definite failure I've kind of ended up distributing my apathy and difficulty with engaging to all my classes this semester.
Which means I'm at least putting work into all my classes but I'm also not really doing great in any one course.
I've also been even more scatter-brained and having a hard time with schedules this semester which has been messing me up too.

The result of which is I'm probably in a bit of danger in most of my classes, which is kind of a worry.
I'm thinking of doing a gauntlet of my professors this week to maybe talk about my standing and if there's something to be done.

Yeah, thanks.
It's all stuff I feel I should have under my belt, introductory philosophy stuff and literature.
If I was just a little more focused and able to manage my time I don't think I'd have any major issues.

Talking about the stuff I've had to read for some of those courses with you has been a help at least.
I've noticed I tend to have a much more content-focused analysis of the texts, where as professors tend to approach it from what I can consider a more meta-analysis in the lines of what you come up with.
I don't think I need to really change that but it's an interesting parallel perspective.

Yeah, I was thinking this when that Comiket Heisei book was announced.
Anime, manga, games of otaku culture; all this stuff basically took form and caught on as a cultural force all within the Heisei era.
Like everything in that cultural sphere can pretty much be limited to that historical era.
And now it's just ... ending.
It's a bit of a melancholic thought.
