He's handled it as well as can be expected tbh

Great fucking game

Beautiful on PS5

Man, he was a rough looking 67.

A lifetime of overeating, no exercise, drinking, and opioid abuse will do that

So of course when the movies came along and shat in the face of its fans, people had a right to be mad

People should maybe grow up lol

If the weapons scale to your stats and you meet the minimum I don't see why not. You're able to modify standard weapons to scale to different stats once they're at 5+ too.

Hell yea

Gonna have to get used to switching from greatsword/shield to double handing twinblade on the fly lol

Great flick tbh

Like before the family got rich from YT and started staging videos and shit.

Those first several years are pretty funny in a raw way and gives an interesting look into how a low income dysfunctional family handles a member with mental illness.

Then they ruined it by getting rich

So I got the twinblade

And I really really like it lol

Up until now my character has been heavy load with a big shield and a greatsword. Basically tanking whatever then staggering enemies and hacking away.

But now I'm like oh shit I kinda wanna put on some lighter armor, drop my shield, and just both hand the twinblade. Jumping around and cutting through pull all quicklike is super nice lol.

But now I'm like is it at all feasible to focus on both moving forward? Have the twinblade for certain situations where moving quick is advantageous then busting out the shield/greatsword combo if I find an enemy I need to tank?

ah well

Naughty Dog is the most obvious example of a company that almost desperately has tried to be "cinematic" for the sake of being taken seriously, and who almost seem embarrassed of the fun mascot platformers they made 20 years ago

I mean you explained the first part with the last bit there

That was 20 years ago. Creative staff changes, priorities change, content changes

Nah it blows

Let it build

Ok, I'm imagining it. Now what?

Start edging

I just wanna be on top of my game without seeing this silly feathery helmet

Like Sully is all slimy and green and Mike is all furry and blue

Cosmetic armor slots would be nice tbh

Everyone using Youtube is familiar with the process

If they wanna do it, they will.

"Rumors."

Oh okay I guess thats what passes for news these days.

You seem upset

I literally only hear about Trump here

I somehow find that rather hard to believe lol

It's a really weird trend where authoritarian strongman types try to either cultivate or happen to inspire some weird homoerotic images of themselves.

Trump has his supporters making him look buff and calling him "Daddy" or "God Emperor"

Mussolini had pictures of himself shirtless while sweating and harvesting grain

Putin has shirtless pics while horseback riding or clearing brush, and has photos done while practicing judo

It's all very weird

Grats you beat the Iudex Gundyr of this game

i don't get it

I tried DS1 years ago and hated it

I also tried Sekiro and couldn't get outta the first couple minutes lol

I beat Margit on my first try and no one believes me

Wanna try some of the other Souslborne games.

Dark Souls 3 is like $10 at a place nearby

Maybe I could finally try Bloodborne

Or I could just play BotW on Master Mode lol

Buttery males

So I'm watching a buddy of mine play. He's farther ahead than me rn and I'm noticing he's fighting a lot of ranged spellcaster types

As someone playing melee should I uh be nervous lol

Can people come to grips with the fact that you typically have to fail before you succeed?

Seriously, I play easy or story mode on most other games and Elden Ring doesn't bug me at all.

"Tough but fair" sums it up nicely

Elden Ring has an easy mode

It's called "grind the hell outta the starting region to keep outleveling the game"

eh? EH?

Imagine the soup they make afterward

My dad trudged over to help me dig my car out after a blizzard last month.

In the middle of shoveling he blasts a massive fart and says "whew I just lost half my dinner"

I'm level 31 and I'm just grinding away lol

Haven't even left Limgrave yet

Iunno, watching someone eat IRL when you're not eating is already kinda odd but when it's the added layer of "it's this streamer I don't know" and you're just watching them eat

Iunno shit's weird

Maybe because my only exposure to it has been through that fat fucking slob who pops up on my recommendations in YT lol

I've just been upgrading my Lordsworn Greatsword lol

Will keep an eye out for the Twinblade tho

Any good armor I should keep an eye out for?

I'm playing Vagabond, dumping into strength, vigor, and endurance. Level 29 rn.

Haven't fought Margit yet

Wearing the default vagabond armor still and just the greaves boots helmet and gloves I swiped off of soldiers lol

Yeah that'd be a welcome addition

Oh. Ok. Sorry

I did miss the first like 2 minutes. Forgot what time it was and came in late

I did enjoy how irrationally mad you got lol

Rogue One sucked btw lol

I do see this along with games like Horizon, Fallen Order, Gof of War, Spider-Man, BotW, etc as evidence that there's still a huge demand for well made singleplayer games.

And hopefully that's a thing studios take away from this

Hopefully the UI stuff is something other studios take away. Love how minimalist it is.

Apart from that while I'm loving Elden Ring I'm not sure that it breaks new ground on much. It's a (very well made) combination and refinement of a bunch of game design choices and tropes that have been around for a long time already.

Yeah

It was great

Tyranthraxus posted...

I'm not actually sure he can take his helmet off.

He certainly can lol

Having the rest of the power armor removed requires more work but even then in a pinch a Spartan can "break" out in an emergency.

I always pictured him bald but apart from that it's about what I expected

Dunno what people are freaking out about

Oh goody goody my first trapped chest teleported me to a place that literally looks like hell

I love Horizon 1 and 2 but the UI is extremely meh

Half the time I'll either set most stuff to show up only as needed or disable it entirely

Otherwise my screen is just full of random shit.

They should do a season 2 abour Maul, best of both worlds.

And defintiely override the 23 minute episode of the show Rebels that Obi and Maul arent even the stars of. Would not be worth scrapping hours of live action content with the original actors just for that.

It just seems unnecessary when in live action at least the characters have little interaction with each other and it'd be essentially doing the same story over again.

All about corporate greeeeeeeeed.

I mean this doesn't contradict the first part of your post lol

In a recent simulation it was found that a war between NATO and Russia would incur 600,000,000 casualties in the first year alone.

Why people are clamoring for that is beyond me.
