got a red version of the glam that I was using in Nioh 2
also tied hair up for Ninja Style

7/8
Gladius and Caligo done

super excited for the Relink expansion
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

a screenshot of the Nioh 3 demo on Steam showing a play time of 59.1 hours

I think my character is fine for now. also, I think I spent too much time playing around with all of the weapons in the demo.

7. you can also set to automatically pick up items by going to Basic Game Settings

6. the mirror at the hub allows you to change your character's appearance as well as your character's equipment appearance to things that you've already seen before

5. separate Style Shift and Burst Break in the Controls settings

4. Life Recovery (Amrita Absorption) is an incredible stat and you should keep this around.

3. after getting under 70% weight, also try to get blue Toughness stat (this is like Poise).

2. get your equipment weight under 70% for both styles

okay so Nioh 3 tips

1. if you want to save time not doing inventory and don't mind losing a bit of loot control, then have the game grind up junk for you.
Basic Game Settings, last page. set automatic dispose to Disassemble (keep playing if you don't have this) and the rarity to Rare or below.

5/8
Libra and Adel done

so right now I'm at
10/10 Nightlords defeated
3/8 Everdarks defeated

I can't really pick and choose the order since the Everdarks rotate weekly, but ideally I want to get the remaining ones done like:
Gnoster
Adel
Gladius
Caligo
Libra

after a few days of casual tries, Everdark Balancers defeated!

the good thing is that the second game is a big improvement over 1, but it's still going to be Octopath

Octopath Traveler 0
it didn't need to happen but I'm pretty glad it did.
I'm not a fan of having a ton of characters and the O1 ones don't make a lot of sense being here. despite this, I had a fun time making the town and going through the newer/changed story, through some parts were weak.

a bit late but I feel like I can probably start doing DoN now that I have the base relic setup

Nintendo Switch 2025 Year in Review for River: "You played 29 games and 1330 hours this year!"

I guess this is what happens when you throw multiple 100+ hour games at me like FLi and a lot of good RPGs.

good choice

Talisman: enough to get Wide Range 5, extra is better

there's extra 1 t3 and 1 t2 slots. I put in fire res for hard fights but can be Recovery Up or anything.

Gogmazios is fun. farming more armor spheres again isn't.

okay so I was traveling this past week and I miss the 3DS and the ability to just like, I dunno, not run out of battery in an hour and half
I guess the Switch 2 can hardly be called "portable" but still
