A godly woman, but probably not the one you were expecting.
Aside from when I’m doing the Broodfeast quest and need Architect’s down attack, I never equip anything but Hunter. My view is that the core moveset is what the game is primarily balanced around—every fight and zone is going to be playable with it.
I've got myself in a comfy little rut with my Reaper Crest build, I'm struggling to surmount some of the Act 3 bosses with it, and the higher DPS Wanderer builds feel awful in comparison. Halp.

Regrettably, the ludonarrative dissonance between “defeat racism” and “the fundamental themes of Thanksgiving” is insurmountable.

Hunter’s March is optional early game—there’s nothing you need to progress there and you can come back with the first sword upgrade.

It is the first zone you’ll encounter where you need to start practicing a dodge-based approach against multiple attacks, which you will need to learn, but move on.
I just suck. I loved Hollow Knight, and I'm stuck in Hunter's March. It's like what Phil said about reading and Ulysses: you don't play Silksong, you only replay it.

Brussels sprouts are a more seasonal green option, as are wintery salads—try an apple, walnut, and goat cheese one. But if you’ve got someone at the table for whom green bean casserole is essential, this recipe jazzes it up to showpiece status. www.seriouseats.com/homemade-gre...

Would be funny to answer every culinary complaint with “try not fucking it up.”

Most absorbed I’ve been in a game in twenty years.

I can also handle your Silksong complaints.

Good approach. You should also query which things are supposed to be stranger.

Honestly I suspect it’s just as coherent to plenty of people who have watched all four seasons.

I genuinely believe my mother on it. Blessedly oblivious woman. But I absolutely turn that shit off after she goes to bed.

You can really see why he and Nuzzi got on.

Amazing.

Who in the fuck said that?

“That looks good,” said the rich dude at the other end of the bar who’d been ordering G&Ts all night.

“Yeah,” said the bartender, who did not offer him a drop.

Once, at a high end bar, I gently asked about their “dusty bottle experience” and was offered a discounted small pours flight that culminated in a not even on the menu century old bottle of Jaegermeister.

The secret is that everybody working there is a working class stiff in a fancy suit costume.

My experience about almost every high end restaurant I’ve actually thought was good is that everybody there prefers the customers for whom this is actually a special occasion to the rich assholes. To the order of “I routinely get free upgrades and perks just cause I’m enthusiastic.”

Why I bothered tweeting a joke this niche after midnight in @andrewhickey.500songs.com ‘s time zone I do not know.
