Good sake, Wandering Poet is my favorite. I think it is the same brand just a different cost? I think I have some Nigori in the fridge. I'll go get some.

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”

That’s exactly how I feel when farming for Oni-Goroshi...or pretty much everything in this game.

Its not. When You start farming You KNOW that it WILL drop, it is just a matter of time and persistence.

Funny how that's sort of what I was going for even though I didn't know the specific term for it (so thanks for that little lesson!). Such a Japanese concept: exhaustion from viewing something considered sublime and beautiful. Curiously, I couldn't find a direct and sufficient translation of what to me might have psychologically preceded the very notion of cherry-blossom viewing as significant: ennui. There are words for components of it: boredom, tedium, weariness. 無為無聊 for example. Muiburyou. Boredom, tedium, 'ennui'.

I like how the kanji is literally 'no change no slightly' i.e. nothing's different, not even a little bit. How depressing.

But that doesn't really capture the rational for feeling that way, which is a sort of listlessness and despair about one's own pointless existence or lack of purpose. That's ennui.

Curiously, something like the Goddess grind sidesteps the ennui inherent to a lot of open-ended gaming like PoE where you have to create your own goals in the void by giving you one...a very distant one, and one that has little in the way of visible progress towards the achievement, but it's there. If you just...keep...at...it...

Hello my friend, I do not know Japanese so I am useless at exploring the subtleties of its meanings. I came across that particular word/phrase some years ago and when thinking about the experience of earning OG, it seemed to fit the end of the battle pretty well: exhaustion, the sudden beauty of Uber Hillock's appearance and a satisfying end to a long day.
