Oh, it’s way different from Elden Ring, if you played that one. It’s a lot more linear. But it’s so fun tbh. Highly recommend. I keep getting my ass kicked and having a blast lol I’m super excited for the other games.

I forgot bloodborne is a fromsoft. I played the hell outta that one but never beat it. The world building in that is wild. Like a Van Helsing horror show. Like a werewolf filled Victorian era. It’s wild and hard AF because of the mechanics of the game. Using the weird gun to stop attacks and the style of attacks with melee are timed really weird. But the aesthetic is on point. Horror, instead of fantasy like demons/dark souls/Elden Ring.

Oh yeah, that’s me for sure. I try not to compare games or listen to the recommended meta or even listen to the hate for not playing a certain way. There’s just not enough wizard media that’s epic. Like Harry Potter was mid until Dumbledore lit up a fire tornado. But that was before J.K. became a J.O.K.E.

I just love it when I can be a knight running castles and throwing massive spells. It might make the game slightly easier, I guess? And people hate that, I guess? But I’m like, my dudes, where else can you cast a spell that calls meteorites to smash a dragon?? Or a freakin’ mana laser beam that melts a god?? Just because I suck at rolling and dodging doesn’t mean I’m not having the time of my freakin’ life!

I keep saying we need more of two types of media:

Epic spells from wizards, witches, warlocks (without a kid friendly setting like HP) that has huge, realistic storylines.

And solid, horrifying mummy films. The two 00s mummy films are fun, but a family-friendly type of fun. The 3rd and Tom Cruise’s version can go to hell. There needs to be an amazing horror version, or at least more of the mummy theme, imo.

Sorry for the rant lol. I don’t get out much. 😅

I ain’t seen a swamp yet, oi vey. Unless you mean the lower latria area with the many faced centipede screaming monsters…? I hate swamp levels lol. I’ll face it when it comes though.

The person in latria was a huge pain to navigate for sure. I beat the mining level and giant dragon with minimal issue. Same for the tower knight, phalanx, and armor spider. But getting around some of the levels is super easy to get lost, I agree. I freaking love it though.

I need a pure glassstone? I think? To level up my mace again. The lizard stopped spawning! 😭

I never go in on the “builds” that I keep seeing recommended. Maybe that’ll punish me later, but I love just finding a good weapon and some epic spells and smash n burning my way through the monsters. Elden Ring was the best for that. Dual weild a staff and holy sword, I was unstoppable lol

Plus, that ending was so fire. I’m at the final boss on ng, but started Demon’s Souls lol

Oh I love an info dump. Thank you for taking the time to explain it. It sounds like a twisted way to fuck yourself over financially or hit it real big.

… I’d rather take my chances at a craps table, sheesh!

Thanks again!

Oh, interesting. Thanks for the heads up!

Would the Google pixel not retain some line to Google? I’ve been leaning more and more towards getting away from Google and Microsoft. With Linux, I’m scared I’ll have an unsecure system just by virtue of not knowing dick about Linux except the little coding I’ve taken courses on that barely scratched it.

Only reason I got Samsung was the cameras on the S22 or 24 or whatever it is I have. Pixel has good cameras, I’ve heard, but it’s entirely Google. Does putting Ubuntu remove all that…?

Sorry if not the place to ask.

I thought it was about the stock market. And I haven’t the faintest of clue what a short is, except that it’s used in films about the stock market lol

The eternal pendulum of nihilism and existentialism.

Nihilism, there is no meaning. Existential, there is no meaning, so find meaning.

If you can, find a reason. Find that meaning. And, if nothing else, live and love out of spite. One day, you’ll wake up to the obituaries (naturally caused; no martyrs here please) of the awful people. And you’ll never have to think on them again, ideally.

Yeah with the lock on button? When I figured out that holding the dodge button let me sprint, it blew my mind haha

It is super, super cute. I started it on a whim and I love that it doesn’t really give ya anything. Like a souls-like game, it’s just ‘figure it out as you go’ but a cute fox and bug creatures.

Just started playing a simple isometric game called Tunic. It’s cute, and you play as a little button mashing fox creature with a sword in a language that’s gibberish as you find hidden paths in the isometric style. It’s frustrating for being so simplistic, because the hidden paths are hidden. I kinda like it so far tho. Just simple, relaxing, chill music, and cute AF artwork.
