If you could add a Consumable to Sekiro, what would it be, and what would it do?
I'd choose a Mibu Balloon of Knowledge
"A Mibu Balloon Filled with fountainhead water. Imbued with a blessing of knowledge.
If one pops this blue balloon and prays, those its water splashes upon will aquire more experience for a period of time.
"Mibu" means "aquatic life", or "life born of the water". The Ashina consider the Fountainhead water itself to he worthy of worship."

Hokum was disappointing in that it had more potential.
Just watched Hokum tonight and I really wish I could've enjoyed it more. I'm not gonna say it was awful unlike like some Simplistic Absolute thinkers here, but man..
I feel as though the folk horror was in the passenger seat and the murder element was at the wheel, when the folklore was what made it so appealing. Sure there was plenty of creeping ghosts in the background but I wish there was more witch craft and hellish sort of imagery rather than being shown a glimpse at the end.
Also. The characters. Not awful, I enjoyed each of them a little but they also had things I strongly disliked. Our protagonist doesn't seem to change that much, still being pretty self centered towards the end with the only real notable difference being the ending of his novel.
It seemed really weird and out of place for the bell boy to reveal that he spiked the drink, and even then it doesn't make much sense. I have a feeling someone would feel different if they were on magic mushrooms.
So much of this movie felt like it was bringing in story elements that weren't necessary, like the goats being killed, or Jack the Ass being super underutilized.
Stuff like the bell scene dragged on way too long. The elevator door being locked when that guy was trying to leave didn't make too much sense. The protagonist not breaking the window and shouting for help.
Final thing. This is COMPLETELY subjective to me, but I did not find this movie scary at all. Even scenes that should've been pretty intense felt really mild. It had moments, like with Jack the Ass on TV. Or when the witch comes into the suite. But it otherwise felt very dull with the horror elements, and the story/writing otherwise did not make up for it in that aspect.
Its late and I'm sure I could better describe my thoughts but this'll do for now. I really wanted to like this movie more, especially considering all the hype and glaze its gotten. But too many things just turned me off from it.
Again this is purely subjective, I'd love to hear your thoughts about this movie in a nuanced way. Or if you have some fun facts about story elements or whatever it may be.

My Recommended Late Game Sen & XP Farm
This farm route is recommended for those multiple NG+ cycles in, and are farming for Sen/XP for Prosthetics and Skills.
Some Tips:
If you are afraid of losing your sen, go to the Merchant at the Dilapidated Temple and buy all the Snap Seeds you can. They have the highest resale value (other than Money Bags).
The Bloodsmoke section can be really iffy, so don't be afraid to jump ship and skip that part if you don't immediately get a deathblow
Charmless and Demon Bell are recommended since they increase Sen and XP intake. These enemies drop things like ScraP Magnetite and Gachin Sugar. Both can be sold for Sen or used.
This is not a Hard route, meaning you can change it up a bit and still get good results. Experiment!! And Good Farming :))

What are your favorite ways to style on bosses?
I've peaked at this game. I've done it all Charmless/Demon Bell and beaten the Gauntlets. Now I just style on bosses. This one was good though I wanna try adding something different after the first Sabimaru attack. Maybe a spear. I also wanna use a different combat art.

Alright, which city guard am I joining? Heard my cousin just joined up too, wonder what he'll be doing.
