  • If anyone hits a wall at about the midpoint of the game, I found a really good place to grind. Right after you get Monocco, there is an area you can go to called Frozen Hearts. If you immediately go and start to explore, you’ll soon realize this is a late game area that you are massively under leveled for.

    HOWEVER, the first enemy you see is a Danseuses, and if you start the battle you’ll fight 3 of them. It will take a little bit, but they only have like 3 different attack patterns, after a few tries you should be able to learn them and parry/dodge them consistently. Once you have that down, you’ll be able to beat them without getting hit and they give a MASSIVE amount of exp. Then just head over to the nearby flag, heal up, and do it again. I stayed there for about hour fighting them repeatedly and bumped everyone up by like 10 levels.

    The tricky part is memorizing their attack patterns consistently, I died a lot until I got it down. But the flag is really close by, so you can just keep throwing yourself at them until you do. Don’t bother trying to fight any of the other battles in this area, all the other ones have enemies that will outheal any damage you can do.











  • You say that, until your destination is in the middle of a city center, with no street parking or dedicated parking lot. So you have to drive around desperately looking for a public parking lot or garage that isn’t absurdly expensive, while navigating tight streets with heavy traffic. And which way do you go? You can try to pull out your phone and search “Parking”, but the results are not always very clear, and it’s dangerous to do while driving with traffic all around you. And, wait, is that a parking garage? No, that’s actually a private garage for the nearby apartments and now the cars behind you are honking because you slowed down trying to figure out if you could get into aforementioned garage. And, boy, you are sure getting pretty far away from your original destination; this can’t be right, certainly there’s something closer. Maybe you should circle back and look again? But you’re getting close to being late for whatever appointment/event/meetup time is bringing you to this area, and circling around might eat up valuable time that could be saved if you just went with the next available garage. Oh wait! There’s a public garage! Oh nevermind, that one closes at 8 and your event will last beyond that so you wouldn’t be able to get your car out until the next morning. Too bad you didn’t figure that out until you were already pulled up at the gate, and now there’s a car behind you, so you can’t back out. Guess you’ll just have to take a ticket and immediately exit. Oh great, there’s a minimum $10 charge; but that’s fine, you can just push that button to call someone and explain the situation and have them let you out, but they don’t seem to be answering and now there’s a car behind you waiting for you to leave and you’re still running late for your event and you still don’t know where to go.

    But sure. It’s just parking. It’s really not a big deal. Who needs to look things up beforehand, right?




  • To play devil’s advocate, an issue arises when there AREN’T more verifiable sources. If someone makes an outlandish claim like “Billy Joel used to wash his ass with crisco” and cites a dubious interview, it’s hard to find a source that definitively states Billy Joel DIDN’T wash his ass with crisco. Even worse, is if there was an actual, verified instance of one time where Billy Joel washed his ass with crisco. That may have been the only time he ever did it, and it may have been done as a joke or something like that, but now we have an interview saying he did it regularly, and an example of when he did. Now it’s a lot harder to disprove.

    I feel gross defending Republican talking points, now I need to go take a shower. Maybe wash my ass with crisco.


  • If I made a meme talking about jumping from the top of the empire state building and said you’d fall 100ft before hitting the ground, people would be justified in saying I have no idea how high actual empire state building is; and that is a hell of a lot closer to the actual answer than your estimate of 4000 years.
