I am unironically waiting on a new cpu cooler before im set for my first Linux build…

Cishet but one thing i didn’t see mention is just some kind of non metalic bracelet. In the past I’ve done a braided bracelet. Someone might ask if it has any special meaning but it won’t ever be questioned beyond that. If you want to get an idea of what i mean just look on amazon for “braided bracelet for men” and there’s a bunch of ideas. If you have a loved one you can always ask for something like this as a gift for that special meaning. Or just get one that you like the look and/or think would look good.

Have fun!

It took me a long time to get the sekiro timings down but they are not “all over the place”. They are literally timed with when you would get hit and take damage.

Deflect (there is no parry) too soon and you won’t take damage but you’ll receive posture damage. Deflect on time and you get no damage and no posture damage. Deflect too late and you get damage and posture penalty.

What i liked about sekiro is that it taught me how to be a better DS player. In DS i never bothered to parry, but after being forced to learn the deflect mechanic i went back to DS and was able to do parry more consistently. That aside, the game had fun, challenging combat and the narrative was compelling.
