I was thinking it looked slow. Not like the fluffy wrecking-ball chainsaws I've come to know and love.

Final round, who will win!?! I just saw it was posted and I've not watched it yet. I hope it's briar man.

This is kind of cool: Watched Hellraiser 2 for the first time, and in the third act, the hot main character ends up wearing what is very clearly the Deathbed Dress. Same cross-tie, same color, same low-cut back. Pretty sure that's where they got the design, given how influential the first two Hellraiser movies were.

I look forward to what other easter eggs you find while watching the remaining 32 hellraiser films.

LOL, naw I'm good. I watched the first 2 at a friend's behest and then 3 to see if it held my interest.
If this were ten years ago I probably would watch the whole series, but I don't have that same "finish everything I start" energy now. Are everyone's 30's this much of a downgrade?

That's a good point. I lose interest in things way faster than I used to, but maybe that's not actually a bad thing. The best stuff (like Elden Ring) can still hold my attention.
Went back and got a couple shots of the Deathbed Dress in the movie:

On to my third NG3 on different characters and only now discover how stupidly broken the Sacred Relic Sword is when used at the starting point in the Mohgwyn Palace zone.
It's around 100k runes a pop and then rinse repeat.

Whenever the DLC comes out, should I start a new game for that?
I think my save is on New Game ++ (or Journey 3 if you will). In the past I had a rough go of it when I tried to do Souls series DLCs on like NG++ after finishing the regular game. Bloodborne in particular I think I just started over so I could do NG DLC and not lose all my hair. However in this case I'd rather not start over because my character is overleveled (275) and has like every item in the game, did absolutely everything. I'd think at that level NG++ would balance itself out in difficulty compared to NG at lower levels?

No one can say, it'll be harder in NG+ and higher obviously but how hard who knows. Also depends on the build you'd go for, some builds deal with higher difficulty better by just being tankier anyway. Pointless to think about for now, you can figure it out once the DLC releases, either by testing yourself or waiting a few days to find out what other people think, but any advice at this point is speculation that's not really more useful than flipping a coin to make your decision.

Yeah, true.
I'm hoping that it gets two major DLCs in the same format that Souls 3 followed: One that's lore-focused and expands the world (Godwyn), then one that's basically just one super-hard area designed to push players to the limit (Miquella). If that ends up being the plan I'll be thrilled.
I'd probably save the Land of Reeds / Formless Mother for a sequel since all of that could be a whole other land.
