Very first was probably Inuyasha, Dragonball Z, or some Gundam way back on adult swim as a kid. My first real one that I engaged with as a semi-adult was probably Death Note.

Smarttube next has a fix for now

My pickups have been Horizon Forbidden West, Subnautica, Spelunky, middle-earth: shadow of war, and Pony Island

I don't have exact price breakdowns, but it was total about 60$ with the vast majority of that being H:FW at 45ish.

It's Vermin Supreme's moment

Yeah I agree the control scheme contributes to the difficulty quite a bit. Between the dodging as you described and the lack of animation cancelling leading to "queueing" actions, you definitely need to be deliberate about what you're doing.

Modern social media

The DLCs are historically challenging for sure, but the first few bosses make Friede look slow imo.

I'm two rememberance bosses in and having a good time. My main criticism is that the bosses are AGGRESSIVE. They seem to be balanced with summons in mind because you almost have to draw the bosses attention away to get in decent damage. Still fun tho.

I've noticed some frame rate decrease in the open world and some minor bugs. I'm not sure if that's my fault tho; I bought a fancy new graphics card and cranked up all the settings, and I'm not sure if my relatively older CPU and RAM are keeping up.

Swisher sweets but backwoods works too

Unless I'm misunderstanding, I do believe it is that simple, yes.

Should have been in there from the beginning imo
