If Regemond can complete it, you know everyone should be able to do it. That cunt has two left hands.

Well thought I'd try something with roulette tickets, I had 2 spare, both different star rattings a 2 and a 4 * So my thoughts were roulette stops on a prize you dont want, exit the game before it can save the reward, reload spin again try for different prize. Started on the 2 Star ticket, various gold bars, huge stacks of cash and parts, 1st time smallish stack of cash 10,000 cr which was smallest cash prize availible. so restarted 15 times each time the same result, 10,000cr which was always the smallest pile of credits. 2nd ticket 4* what was up for grabs, A car, 2 differnt tuning parts, an invitation or 5000 cr Well won the lesser of the tuning parts, which visually never seemed to change, so story here is there is no beating the system. They only thing I did notice that I am curious about is that the the car on the prize reel changed amongst 2 or 3 different cars each time, So I am wondering if it pulls them from a small pool of cars, if you win one you already have is there a chance of a respin, or is the car also pre determined? Guess will try when situation crops up.

Lefties = besties

Overworld stuff today. Finally defeated the tree guardian that was giving me trouble. Also found and killed another one. Funny to think, from the moveset, they are a reskinned Asylum Demon. Found a funny looking Turtle with a hat too. I'd forgotten when I was lower level, racing from bonfire to bonfire. That I'd only skimmed most places. Beat the manor I had mentioned earlier. Although the grace still points to it? Perhaps towards another boss further north?? You'll notice I said 'beat' and not cleared out. The resilience of the enemies in the first area meant it will be a while before I think myself strong enough to return. Found the obligatory poison-based cave. Didn't get too far in before running out of flasks. I pulled back and decided to go back to a previous underground area I didn't get too far in before. Killed the golem outside for good measure this time too.

Looks like a "wait for Game Pass" game.

I got distracted by arcane items for a bit so my stats are a little more spread than ideal Vitality? Who needs it, just don't get hit bro 😊😅 I got the DLC. Gonna work on that next.

If online storing of saves is about improving the player experience it seems to have had the opposite effect. Not sure how much MTX factors in here, but I think it's easy enough to see it's at the very least a factor in the decision as it would allow people to 'pirate' content in the game if they could mess around with it offline I'm not convinced that any game which doesn't have a design dependency on online (MMOs) have a strong enough justification to do something like this, or that cheaters are even a big enough thing to worry about. The sad thing is it attaches an expiry date to these games, when they shut the servers down it's not a set in stone guarantee they will allow the game to continue working. edit by all accounts it takes something like 30+ hours to get some of the higher tier cars, or 300 euro. So offline save editing would be a nice and handy skip for all that nonsense.

Oh well, that worked - Wet Nurse = Nightmare Slain !!! So the endings, and I did look this up, as I'd got 3 parts of the Umbilical Cord, and really didn't know what to do with them :

Ayyy, a fellow hater. Come join me @AndyKurosaki we’ll start our on Universal Church of Truth with the founding philosophy that this is an annoying video game

Damn, a botw post from Blakey I agree on I think it shows that this is from's first throw at open world. A lot of critics out there are saying that FROM are showing people how it's done, but I don't feel this way about it. I think it's an open world with patches of excellence marred by hours of stuff that's just very standard. To me, it reminds me of an open world in an MMO, with how demarcated all the different regions are and the handful of ways you can get between them. Versus the countless adventures getting from A to B in BOTW. It's why I don't feel it has much in common with that game aside from some surface level things The closest I get to seeing something really interesting in its OW was when I tried a new save as a lvl 1 wretch and accidentally ended up in Caelid, which to me now feels like it's designed as an endgame zone beginners can accidentally wander into, rather than a fully fleshed out zone like the others. Had to sneak past monster patrols and fight them with items. Had a phantom pain feel to it, but the main game is rarely like that

I forgot to post them but a couple of Switch games arrived I suspect the WiiU version of The Wonderful 101 is the better version but it's good to have. Cruis n Blast just looks fun
