Congrats Larry :)

Game starts to open up from here with multiple paths and multiple bosses you can face at once.

Awesome. I think I am officially hooked. :yes: At the rate I am going, I should beat it around 2017.  :laugh:

 

Also not sure if you noticed in the screenshot, but I did use the Saw Spear for Father G. The round I beat him was the first round I tried it for him, I was sticking with the cane since I had upgraded it twice. Even though my Cane is a higher level with the Blood Stones, the Saw Spear for sure seems more powerful with just one upgraded level. It is a tad slower, so the approach changes some, but may start using it instead of the Threaded Cane.

What's the best place to get chunks ?

I'm level 40 on cainhurst and having some issues with those spiders.

 

The spiders mess everyone up. Really powerful. I raged out and just ran through them to get items near them then headed into the Castle lol.

 

You're a bit early for a reliable chunk source.

Beat Lagarius , that guy was a major pain, had to actually learn his attack pattern whereas with most other enemies I just brute force my way. Have gotten some invasions but it's harder to get than in ds games.

 

Some of the later stages will bring about invasions galore ;)

I was about to post the story of BB1M sales. I thought "Ha, I wonder if I can post this before AB?" Obviously not! :p

 

But I do get to share news about the latest patch:

 

Patch 1.03 will reduce certain load times. For a game like Bloodborne that prides itself in the way it kills you and then kills you some more, getting us back on the hunt quickly will be welcome.

I have put off playing the game any further until I get the strategy guide, but you would think these mother######ers are rewriting the constitution or some ######.  :laugh:

This is the latest update on Amazon about it, and I do have it preordered...

 

IMPORTANT 2ND UPDATE

=> The page count is increased from 400 to 552 pages.
=> The book is already printed and shipping to Amazon now. All pre-orders will be honoured, we'd like to ask everyone for your patience. The book will be with you any day now.

Wondering if and when I will ever get it.

Futurepress twitter says ignore Amazon they will begin shipping this week, next at latest.

But yeah I've never seen this with a guide before. Wondering if anything has attempted to be kept under wraps...

Never knew this could happen either. The red phantom deaths of other players can aggro enemies in your game. Guy below dies to the ambush, but his ghost death triggers ambush for player to avoid it.

I will let you know if I find anything. I got an email directly from Futurepress saying thank you for the preorder, and it would be at my house on Tuesday and it would be "worth the wait," so will see. My wife is out for the night so I may just play it without the guide and see what I can figure out, but part of me may just wait, usually with a guide if you do not follow what they say it gets hard to pick it up already playing, but I could be wrong there as it has been a very, very long time since I have used one. I will see how it is written, I may even start over because of what I said above, but that could be pushing it.

    • Millions of users to benefit from Windows 11's new performance boost on Adobe Photoshop

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Millions of users to benefit from Windows 11's new performance boost on Adobe Photoshop by Sayan Sen Despite the advent of AI-generated imagery, Adobe's Photoshop remains one of the most popular tools on this planet. Adobe does not have a publicly reported total user count but it's probably not wrong to assume there are millions. As of 2025, Adobe Creative Cloud has had approximately 41 million paid subscribers, many of whom likely use Photoshop. In addition, more than 166,000 companies worldwide are apparently also using the app. These figures are according to a very recent report by SQ Magazine. Out of them, it is fair to assume that many are probably running Windows. As such, there is good news for these users as Microsoft has announced Photoshop is getting a big 20% performance boost on x86-64 (AMD64) systems and a 13% bump-up on Arm devices. This is definitely great news for them as many have complained about the slow performance and general sluggishness of Photoshop on Windows 11 ever since the advent of the latter back in 2021. If you are wondering how Microsoft managed to do this, the answer lies in a combination of compiler-level optimizations and a technology called Sample Profile Guided Optimization (SPGO). According to Microsoft, Adobe worked closely with the company’s Visual C++ team and adopted the latest MSVC toolchain enhancements together with SPGO to squeeze more performance out of Photoshop’s CPU-bound workloads. Unlike traditional Profile Guided Optimization (PGO), which requires developers to create special instrumented builds and run lengthy training workloads, SPGO gathers performance data directly from optimized release binaries. This means Adobe could collect real-world usage information which gives a major advantage to this technique, as companies could leverage data collected from actual customer workloads rather than only relying on synthetic benchmark runs. In theory, this should allow optimizations to better reflect how users interact with software in the real world. Thanks to this, there are improvements to code layout, function inlining, hot-and-cold code separation, and other low-level tweaks that help processors execute instructions more efficiently. Essentially the compiler is better able to identify “hot” code paths, those which are most frequently executed, and optimize them accordingly.

      Glad these prices are starting to come down, but that is still crazy. I bought the 2TB 9100 Pro (slightly more expensive version with PCIe 5.0) last year for $240.

      The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months by Sayan Sen Yesterday, we covered a really good deal wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD for a low price of just $400 with a special discount coupon. That's just $100 per TB, making it a very good offer during these hard times. The deal is still live, so you can check it out in its dedicated article here if you do not want to miss out. Meanwhile, if you don't have that kind of budget but still wish to buy an SSD for a good price, the 2TB variant of the TeamGroup SSD at $280 its lowest price in over three months. Meanwhile, those seeking 2TB but faster performance can check out Samsung's 990 PRO, which has hit the lowest price also in the last quarter or so, as it's on sale for $370 (purchase links under the specs table down below). Thus, you want a faster drive, get the 990 Pro, or you want more capacity, grab the TeamGroup 4TB linked in the first para. The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $500. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The tech specs are given below: Specification TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 2TB Samsung 990 PRO 2TB Interface PCIe 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.4 PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 Form Factor M.2 2280 M.2 2280 Controller InnoGrit Controller Samsung In-house Controller NAND Flash 3D TLC 3D TLC DRAM Cache None (HMB supported) 2GB LPDDR4 Sequential Read (Max) 5,000 MB/s 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write (Max) 4,500 MB/s 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4K) Up to 600,000 IOPS Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4K) Up to 700,000 IOPS Up to 1,550,000 IOPS TBW (Endurance) 1,300 TBW 1,200 TBW MTBF 3,000,000 hours 1,500,000 hours Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C 0°C to 70°C Storage Temperature -40°C to 85°C -40°C to 85°C Shock Resistance 1,500G / 0.5ms 1,500G / 0.5ms Heatsink Patented Graphene Heat Spreader No Get them at the links below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) TEAMGROUP T-Force G50 2TB SSD (TM8FFE002T0C129): $279.99 (Sold by TeamGroup, Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

      If you can't spell a simple word that 2nd graders learn, your entire argument is suspect.
