    It is very well done. The visuals in some of the action scenes is just unreal. Science Saru really put their all into it. If you have even a passing interest you should definitely check it out.

    I think I'll start a new playthrough on my 3DS.

    I'm not really sure what you're implying here. Mark Frost and David Lynch wrote season 3 together, and Lynch directed every episode.

    While season 3 is a very different Twin Peaks, it was never going to be the same show from 25 years earlier. The last shot of the season was absolutely terrifying. As a fan of most of David Lynch's films, I think The Return is probably my favourite thing he's done.

    Here's an interview with Mark Frost about writing S3 with Lynch: https://www.indiewire.com/awards/industry/twin-peaks-the-return-mark-frost-david-lynch-writing-collaboration-1201975099/

    Easy. Twin Peaks. I would have been 5 when it first aired. Watched it for the first time when it was on Netflix circa 2010ish. One of my absolute favourites of all time.

    edit: I also absolutely loved season 3 when it came out. What a special show.

    Funny you should mention being able to cold-shoulder people as a solution since being able to block users is one of the recently requested features that preceeded some of our recent departures.

    Good news, Sekiro is made for players who love to parry. The difference is you only get a 'riposte' if you parry until their stamina bar is drained. You can miss a few or whatever, it only grows back slowly. Learning openings to throw in a few sword attacks inbetween parries to keep consistently draining their stamina is the goal. Gotta break the habit of dodging attacks and instead learn the rhythm of attack chains to parry.

    Honestly it sounds like you two are just not a good match. There are people out there that would appreciate the type of care you want to give/receive.

    Interesting. I've never found his content to be narrow in its approach. In fact he shows how any joker and strategy can be viable. To each their own though.
