Could be rubber bullets. It’d hurt and bruise but shouldn’t be blowing anyone’s limbs off (in theory)

Possibly biased as I grew up in Korea and have been eating this my entire life but I think it's the best instant bibimyeon in the market. Making from scratch will of course will almost always be better but I think it gets the job done.

It's on the sweeter side and not very spicy in my opinion. I don't ever eat it on its own - it's almost always paired with some kind of grilled meat (usually beef). So if I'm having short rib at home or steak, I often cook a package or two of this for us to enjoy with our food. Other than adding a hard boiled egg and some ice, I serve the noodles as is.

I've never heard any superstition about buying new belts - not even while growing up in Korea. The only superstition I'm aware of was about washing your belt. In fact, most of the masters I've had owned multiple belts. Usually the oldest one was reserved for ceremonies since they were pretty beat up. But they'd teach and train in a newer one

Personally, I've always thought the way my grandmaster's belts looked with the grey threads and slight fraying looked so cool, which is why I have kept the same belt. But I do hand wash it and let it air dry

Okay, I hate the super long belt thing EXCEPT on younger black belts (or even on adults to account for a little extra growth around the middle, haha). I can understand buying a belt that'll last. Otherwise the super long belt thing to has never made sense to me

I did say marginally effective at times, haha. I acknowledge that it is not guaranteed to hide anything but it also doesn't hurt me to wear it other than looking silly.

But also...how do you know I'm not also wearing oversized pants?

I'm a jaded 33 year old competitor that's been in this since I was 5, haha. I could care less about what I look like or whether I fit in.

There's the bench on the right hand side, too. The average park bench is around 5 or 6ft long. So it's a small park but it seems perfect for a neighborhood. It's not like we're in Central Park or anything like that

Looks adequately sized for a suburban neighborhood park in the US to me. The kind with maybe one small jungle gym and a swingset

How is this? I have somehow not ventured into the world of instant phở yet

I have always done it to disguise leg length. Mine goes down near my knees. It looks dumb, yeah, but it's at least marginally effective at times and that's good enough for me. The way I see it: I'm there to compete and win. Don't care if I look cool doing it or not, haha.

This is the way.

I think that's the word used in English speaking countries. But in Brasil it's called pirarucu

I live in the Seattle area and it's not widely available here either, haha. I know of a few restaurants that have it in stock and some local grocery stores that have it occasionally.

It is kind of depressing seeing what the role turned into.

One of my favorite fish to eat. I think it tastes great

in brazilian portuguese - pirarucu

just have to be careful for the occasional quest that has choices that affect story/rewards (if it's important to you).

If you want crit dmg + cold dmg, I'm assuming you're playing a bow build (probably heartseeker)? If that's the case, the weapon damage on the dagger is pretty useless - you'd want Dexterity instead.

If not, though - a great find for sure.

I mean, it's not just me. Turning the difficulty up to Torment will definitely add a lot more time to the campaign flow. But maybe my initial estimate is not great. I might not have been thinking about the expansions.

Base Campaign (15 hrs) https://youtu.be/1KFp_2ME1XE?si=_E1Uxu8MKsgAE1GK

Vessel of Hatred (5 hrs) https://youtu.be/Wj0RJOhYDJQ?si=684FuT8AF90Gdc6u

Lord of Hatred (5 hrs) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taWmomiCcYM

So we're looking at around probably 25 - 30 hours for most people just beelining story and not messing around with side quests.

Edit: Here's another playthrough from someone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glQJngEQUDo

I think xPeke was great and really popular but I wouldn't describe him as a superstar. If we're talking popularity, I would argue the Doublelift or Bjergsen were closer to being a household name than xPeke was. And I don't think any of them in the same league as Faker is in terms of renown.

I think most people today are more likely to recognize the name Magnus Carlsen than they are Bobby Fischer.

You only need to finish the campaign once in your account's lifespan (until another expansion adds more content). After you've beaten the campaign, you can start every subsequent season with campaign completed and just blast mobs and farm gear.

Beelining the main story takes about 15 hours total by most estimates.

Edit: Plus another 10 hours for the expansions.

Unless you're dilly dallying the whole time, I cannot see how it could possibly have taken you 100 hours to finish the story. I've finished the full campaign in like three sessions.

Hahaha no problem! Glad I could help you three years later

This might sound pedantic but it is specifically romanized: tonkOtsu. TonkAtsu would refer to a pork cutlet.

Which instant tonkotsu did you use? Nongshim?

I would argue that not only is it closer but they're the exact same thing, haha.
