Wow yeah that would be really annoying. Like I'm fine with having secrets to discover in a game but basic mechanics should be easily understood

I do feel like I missed out on the Elden Ring hype, it seemed like my friends were having a lot of fun figuring out the game together. But that doesn't age so well when you're playing a game that came out ten years ago, and YouTube let's plays aren't really a thing anymore.

Ah okay, thanks for letting me know. That's kinda lame tbh, I think I'll just start a new game

Dark Souls 3 review!

I just beat the soul of cinder. It was kinda by accident, I thought it would take way longer. I wasn't taking it that seriously until I noticed that it was on 25% health in its second form and then locked the fuck in.

Do I like Dark Soils 3? Yeah, I want to play it again now. It's the only Fromsoft game I've played but I want to play all the other ones now.

Did I like Dark Souls 3? Not all the time. I bought it about a year ago and only just finished it because it kept frustrating me. I got stuck on Champion Gundyr for weeks, and the Lothric princes burnt me out on the game for months. It felt really annoying and unfair to die to attacks that I felt like I couldn't have seen coming.

The overworld looks amazing, all the time, especially when you get to look at the sky. The game has such a cool aesthetic. But there were some times (swamp) when I felt like the game was a slog.

For a long time I thought ds3 wasn't for me. I still don't like how the game is so obscure with it's information - I should understand a game's mechanics without having to look on a wiki. I barely looked at the wiki, so I never learned how magic works or what the good weapons are. I also didn't like getting constantly burnt out on a game that I would have definitely enjoyed more if it was easier

So why have I come around on it? Unironically, I think the formula to enjoying ds3 was right in front of me the entire time: git gud. The game feels so good to play in a way that anyone who's played it will understand. The movement and combat has a great sense of feedback and weight, landing a hit is satisfying every time. The game is about learning attack patterns and getting better at timing dodges and attacks and managing stamina, and it feels good to improve at that. No shit. That's the point of the game. But honestly it's come as a revelation to me that I like Dark Souls, so that wasn't obvious to me.

Now I've started journey 2 and I still have all my items and stats? That's an absurd new game+ I don't get it. Are you supposed to just charge through the entire game with your endgame character?

The guy is a massive lib and his analysis of the emergence of fascism in young white men only examines the culture, not the material conditions. There was a video he put out like a year ago that was just whining about leftists being mean as far as I remember.

Nvm I went back and watched the video I was talking about and it's actually way funnier than that. It's the 'slow break-up' video, where he's talking about people breaking up by not communicating, and he tries to link it to politics, but it really just seems like he got dumped and wanted to tell everyone. Like it has barely any connection to any political point at all.

The dude's channel is libshit the whole way through. His whole thing is trying to prove Republicans wrong so that they notice their hypocrisy and stop being Republicans (as if that's ever stopped them). He's also all in on electoralism and 'the left' always seems to be synonymous with democrats for him. He also likes to represent the democrats with a reasonable-sounding brown person. Seems like he just wants to be in the West Wing, he thinks that epicly owning the right will work.

I wish my dad would understand that sometimes I just don't want to talk to him. I got nothing to say. And he'll be yapping away saying nothing of value and I really don't want to pretend to laugh. I know he just wants to talk to me but I don't want to talk at all sometimes

God it would be so funny if there was no article. If he just said this to the press and didn't elaborate. No body, just the headline "man has brainworms"

Never heard of it. Stop making stuff up

The "how many days in a week are there bodybuilding debate" is eternally hilarious. I have to go back and rewatch the ace attorney video of it every now and then.

Do you guys think I could cite the elder scrolls gods in my essay about thomas aquinas

I miss local multiplayer games, they're easily the most fun way to play with friends. Barely any games come with local multiplayer anymore. I remember doing the smash bros brawl campaign and playing goldeneye with my friends as a kid and it was just way better. Nowadays I barely play any multiplayer games.

Phasmophobia is really good, in the same vein as lethal company.

I stopped playing ds3 about a year ago because I couldn't beat the lothric princes. I returned yesterday and finally did it. Now I'm on to the soul of cinder and all I want to know is if it has a third phase, because I've gotten to the second without losing too much estus.
