I prefer field battles, however I've long learned that even with Sisters spam I can win a attacking siege with just three boltthrowers and some lords and heroes. ^^ As for defensive battles, I've held out quite a few times surprisingly well with just the standard armies you get. Elevations and more space can only help this. Let's hope CA can adjust the AI to be less dumb.

Sisters are nutty good. How do they fare in melee? Never played a HElf campaign long enough to build a doomstack with them, but I know in checkerboard formation, they're supposed to be nearly undefeatable so long as ammo holds.

Normally you want them to kill everything before they reach melee, but they hold up quite well, especially when you have researched the proper tech and have a leveled handmaiden in your army. They are not undefeatable if the enemy throws enough enemies at them and, as I found out, they can get melted rather easily by dwarves with their fireresistant flamethrower units (because the Sisters do fire damage). Still, a really good doomstack and so unexpensive that you can field all-sisters (and some artillery+heroes) armies easily. But, yeah, if properly build up they have better melee stats than the top melee infantry of the high elves, which is a bit nuts.

Normally I'd go with Dio in a lot of match-ups, but Alucard is just so indestructible that even with all the time manipulation in the world, I'm not sure Dio can actually deal lethal damage to kill him, whereas Alucard can just endlessly regenerate and wear Dio down even if he has no answer to time stops.

Ah, lovely. In the finale of Yakuza 0, and hitting a consistent infinite loading screen. Validating game files and older saves does not help. Yet again, a 100+ hour game denies me the ending (Saints Row 4). Which is only twice it's happened, but still weird and deeply annoying.

Hopefully I can figure out something to get around it, because it'd be some real blue balls to not get to see where all this ends up.

All the same, hope you get it!

Naaaah better pay and it being right round the corner.

BUT.
Here is an update.
So I read the ad as "2 positions for X amount of hours each" because that's what it looked like.
After going through the interview process and succeeding I find that they offered me much less hours than the ad said. Which was kinda BS so I asked why. Turns out it was "2 positions with X amount of hours between them"!
So, yeah, I told them to fuck off as kindly as possible because they offered me less than what I was already doing and I knew I could get more that that where I am at currently.

Finished Yakuza 0, thankfully was able to fix the bugged load. The combat system is thematically appropriate, but in actual mechanics, a significant amount of functionality and power is either unusable on the enemies that actually demand tactics, or so risky and weak it's not worth it. I wanted the counter hits to be so much better than they actually were, given the feast or famine nature.

Story was damn solid. I had no idea where it was going, who would end up were, and I was wrong on all my assumptions that leaned on cliches. Though this was also my first Yakuza game, and I've seen very little of seinen (adult male genre) stories. Probably will be able to make more accurate predictions in the next games.

Good game. Recommend it.

I'm going to be a homeowner in 3 months, signed the sales agreement on Friday, now I just have to find a loan - but I could only sign the agreement because they knew I would be able to get it.

That'll more than double the area of the flat I'm living in at the moment, a bit over 80m². Further away from Paris, but a 10 minutes walk from my new high school, with the train station at the same distance and a supermarket barely further.

Wait how are you in high school but going to be a homeowner? Sounds quite young to be able to own one.

Spent my evening next to a log burning fire with meat cooking.

Congratulations! I have no idea what it's like in France, but assuming similar to America, you must've worked real hard to get to this point. And walking distance, even better. Exciting times, well done, Sine.

Forgot to mention it, but great job on 100% Sekiro by the way. I literally gave up on the last boss because I was too burnt out to deal with grinding out the right strategy. Need to pick it up again at some point, good game. But 100%, that's some serious effort.

It takes very little to make us happy sometimes, and That's A Good Thing. How'd the meat turn out, more importantly?

Well we had this beef rib-meat that was just soooooo good I ate A LOT of it and so quick others couldn't get any.
Chicken, burgers, etc, just, damn good.
The only "salad" in sight was lettuce and cheesy pasta

Then after we lit the fire pit and just chilled while 2 of us just literally stared into the flames for about an hour and tended the fire.

well it did take me 3 days to beat the final boss (and pretty much beaten every other boss, including the mini bosses, in the game so my strength was probably as good as was going to get at that play through without grinding a lot skill points for that mask to raise my strength), once I got into news game + everything was easier especially since I could avoid most of the mini bosses.

I actually found this game easier then the dark souls series at least with Sekiro I don't have to worry about hundreds of different skills, weapons, etc. as an autistic person I get lost in those kind of system easily as I get confused and have hard to choosing what to pick, so Sekiro is easy enough for me to understand, but hard enough that I was challenged.

Still don't want to play the game ever again (just the world story, gameplay, characters, etc, don't grab me so I'm done), I did something most people won't and I'm happy (only 9.5% of the people on PlayStation have the platinum trophy for Sekiro and I am one of them and that's good enough for me).
