The real FF2 wasnt initially released in west because it was too tough for us. And in retrospect it probably was for a lot of us.
Was it tough like Dark Souls interesting tough or tough like hey now go grind for twenty hours because it's not like you've anything better to do you loveless JRPG player tough?
I say this as someone who most definitely ground out ten or so levels to take down O&S.
Dark Souls has its own grind like any other game.
I never had to grind levels in dark souls 1 or 2
You can make it trivial like any other game with "grinding" game systems out in certain ways. You dont have to grind in FF games either. Watch speedrunning.
ok I misread your post mb
Sorry on my side too.... its early and my eyes are especially puffy today. Plus the breathe right strip made my nose look like santa.

For real tho Abdy frozen yoghurt basically tastes exactly like flavored soft serve ice cream to me, that's probably why I like it a lot.
The archer's ledge and O&S were the major speedbumps in DS1 for me.
I say this, but I also gave up after like an hour because I went the wrong way and thought hmmm nope this isn't fun and then started a couple of years later and got to the depths and fell down a hole and got gassed by a frog and thought hmmm no this isn't fun and then a couple of years later picked it up again and then got every achievement, even the one that meant I had to kill Smough first and thus fight O&S like twenty times like a masochist.
actually I forget about my texas produce privilege. Visiting my mother in the Boston suburbs was amazing, you had to actually work to find a vegetable. The local supermarket was just embarrassingly bad. I remember standing in the "produce section" and thinking no fucking wonder, look at the state of this place. If that's your idea of what vegetables look like, of course you're going to buy a neon-colored VeggieBlast PowerBar instead.
It was depressing.
The worst part is if you're shopping at night, you get the shitty leftovers that've been picked through through the day.
I lean heavily on frozen veggies for this reason usually. They taste better too, oddly.
they taste better because they can be allowed to ripen naturally for longer since they don't have to survive being stored out in the open

Eh, it's easier to store and use them as a single person so that's what I prefer.
It doesn't always go so well with certain dishes like if you're doing a stuffed pepper or something so in those cases you'll still need fresh.
Farmer's market should start up here pretty soon I think.
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me
God Capra Demon in DS1 was perhaps the only fight where I was like
ok this shit is unfair
cuz I was running a basically zero poise caster build and lol staggered+dead upon zoning in more than 75% of the time

I feel bad every time I open edge on a new install, it shows the "Edge is great you guys" page, and the first thing I write into the bar is "get chrome".
It feels so disrespectful towards edge, it's probably perfectly nice.

It's not odd, modern flash freezing technique means that for a lot of vegetables, what you're eating is fresher and better for you than "fresh" produce that has been delivered alongside it. Also, if your store doesn't give a shit about produce, they probably don't often reject a load that has been delivered under temp - so the flash-frozen stuff stayed frozen but the fresh stuff stayed too cold, and the shelf life was at best reduced by days. At worst it's inedible mush within 24 hours.

That's crazy to me, because I think I've only had Ornstein die first once, maybe twice.

Everyone learning to cook always makes the mistake of trying to make tomato sauce from fresh tomatoes at least once.
Of my god it’s like gritty battery acid why is this happening!

the lack of features for a modern browser is a bit sad tho, they've probably improved that
They should just give up, wrap it all into IE, and just give up on trying to make old websites from 2003 work at all.

it's so counterintuitive given what we're all taught about fresh food
The great thing about Ben and Jerry's is that they could use their goofy marketing and aggressive flavor combos as a crutch but they don't. It's high quality shit, they don't foist some Dairy Queen style garbo on you

Super Smough was a much easier second fight for me on every playthrough. Super Ornstein would consistently wreck my face many times over. I got him eventually with Solaire, but only after upgrading weapons and grinding some levels so he couldn't just one shot me at will.
The long, windy run to the fight was also annoying.
Dunno. Perhaps I just played early Dragon Quests and Final Fantasys different. I didnt really grind. I would take hard fought excursions into the next dungeon and actually use that exit dungeon skill or consumable. Getting to boss and beating it while desperately using the last of my consumables, mana etc.
Seemed to me the way they were meant to be played. Pacing was pretty tight in even the early ones.

Couldn't you just open the front door and use the save point under (the Darklight covenant one you access with the staircase)?

I bought a bag of frozen berries one time because I eat a lot of berries.
They're a huge part of my diet these days.
The frozen bag stuff was tasteless, disgusting, and had this sticky, syrupy shit all over the inside. Fresh berries stuffed in the freezer (I use a lot of them so I get bigger cartons) taste miles better than the pre-frozen nasty shit in an opaque bag.

Sugar and baking soda can rescue it to being edible but it still doesn’t taste like tomato saunce because you’ve started with trash tomatoes suitable only for color and texture in a salad.

Pretty sure this is why ye olde italian sauce recipes use lots of onion and carrots to balance that acidity out.

You didn't peel the tomatoes, use a carrot puree to flatten the acidity, or cook them long enough.

Fruits in general freeze very poorly. I’ve never used frozen blueberries for anything and found the result satisfactory.

I don't think that one was any closer that the one in the building (if you took the shortcut and jumped out of the spiral staircase). Also, didn't you have to move the stairs to get to that part, and then move them back again if you wanted to leave?

DQs were usually much better with pacing. FFIV though it was fine. Even though we got the easy mode one initially. The DS rerelease of the "hard mode" still has good good pacing.
