I can't win at all with Wonder Picks lately. The card I want is either in the spot it started in when I DON'T pick that, or a random spot when I do. Haven't pulled a single good card in weeks or longer through WP.

Basically, any time you perfect parry or block, it will build a Qi charge (the circle under your health bar). You have to hold down to do the little dash that deploys the talisman and hold it until it explodes. Later on, you get more charges and the ability to charge it up more with more...

I wasn't ready for it either at first and died a lot early on. And late on. And in the middle. Good game! Joking aside, the game introduces the parry/talisman mechanic but I feel like it doesn't really express how crucial that system is to your success until every boss is pounding your head in...

No parry Nine Sols run incoming?

That's funny, I started Avowed to check it out, but was invested in Nine Sols too much so I set out to finish it first. Once I'm done with the second playthrough Avowed is next on my list. Been itching for a more exploratory fantasy type game.

My family does kind of a potluck for Christmas Eve, and it's become a tradition for my family to request gyoza from me. Started traditional, but I've done some experimenting over the years. Last year I make J Kenji Lopez-alt's Carnitas recipe and used some of the meat for the filling. Turned out...

I have done it. After hours and hours and multiple sessions of attempts, I have finally beaten Nine Sols. The final boss is a true test, and one of the hardest bosses I've overcome in any game. Going to put my thoughts in spoilers. I will say this game has a great story and characters, and all...

The finish line is in sight for Nine Sols. The last boss is no joke, a true test of all the abilities you learn throughout the game. Been at it for hours so far, easily one of the hardest bosses I've ever encountered. Once I figure out how to parry the big attack in the final phase this will be...

Congrats! I still have yet to beat this one. Rented it several times as a kid, but couldn't beat it in a weekend. Later went down the emulation route, but every rom I had tried ended up hitting a broken/unplayable part I couldn't get past, at various parts throughout the game. Did you play it...

Holy shit I'd love to see both of those!

I'd say it's a mixture of Hollow Knight and Sekiro/Lies of P. Has rechargeable special attacks (talismans), but instead of attacks recharging it, it's parries. Does have a similar upgrade system to the charms in HK, but also has a skill tree. Also has dodge dashing, and choosing between it and...

Still making my way through Nine Sols. I'm on the back end of the game, and just finished Lady Ethereal, easily the hardest fight so far. Looking online, most people rank it the #2 or 3 hardest fight in the game. Took some work just to get through phase 2, only to get one shot by the opening...

This one's also coming to PC/Xbox, and will be on Game Pass. Definitely on my must play list this year.

I was WAAAAAY late to the Radiohead party. Being a dumb adolescent, I always ignored them because they were "too cool" while hypocritically listening to "unknown" indie stuff that was actually very well known. Rectified this in the 20teens by doing a full discography dive, quickly realizing how...

Finally, after all these years, I can shout "Dodge you asshole!" at a Pokemon, and it might actually do so. Kidding aside, the battles from the Pokemon Direct for Legends ZA look pretty fun and felt a lot like how they're depicted in the anime. I hope your ass can catch a fire blast mid combat...

Has anyone played Nine Sols? Just started it the other day, and I'm really enjoying it. Metroidvania style 2d game. Closest comparison is Hollow Knight meets Sekiro. This one stands out in several ways though. Simple but challenging combat so far. Controls are very smooth. Combat consists of...

There's way too many features they don't tell anyone about. Half the people on my friends list don't have a showcase for people to like.

I thought the trading in Pokemon Go was bad, this is much worse. Also, I was looking through wonder picks today thinking "I wish they added a feature that showed cards that you don't have here. Then I realized they DO and I just flipped through several picks where I already had everything. If...

I also did this for ToTK and Pikmin 4. Only slight issue is it's digital only. I prefer physical, but prefer saving money more, so there's that.
