iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Nice! Such a testament to this game's elegant combat systems that your approach and my approach look pretty different but they both clearly work well. (your patient, heavier, more damaging attacks vs my aggressive light attacks slowly chipping away)

You should have (or be close to having) some tools which make them less annoying! Seems like a good plan to me!

Yes! While Owl Father is my favorite, I admire how all of these special encounters explore different aspects of sekiro's gameplay. ...except DoH, which feels like the intent was: what if sekiro has to deal with a boss from one of our other games? And the answer is: feels bad, maybe!

Agreed they're the toughest. But Owl Father ended up my favorite; once it clicked, it all felt like an intricate dance, and the most a game has ever had me feel like a sword fighter. Feels like the culmination of the team's intent for the game, kept optional because of the difficulty spike.

We've been lulled into a false sense of security by the relatively mild past two to three years and lots of La Ninas, but we're in for a dramatic shock how much the planet has kept warming underneath all those dampeners. I worry about the coming El Nino summer in Australia.

I really like what this team is doing. Litigate the murder of a river by wielding rhetoric against those that benefit from watching it all burn. Gameplay has me feeling like a brilliant lawyer in a dramatic courtroom drama with the highest of stakes. I'd love to see what they can do when funded:

I won't link/cap my last repost as the author has reposts turned off. He's correct and also the topic of "can fiction influence attitudes?" is fun, complex and nuanced. There's research on it! Unsurprisingly the answer isn't simply no or yes, neither zero nor 'too much" social power & responsibility
