they’re scary because they’re intelligent, relentless, and remorseless

Gorn Queen in 3..2…

I’m kidding, but also, please no.

The ole private equity bustout. Just like red lobster 👌

I really enjoyed this. Dying gasps of wasps is so poetic.

However, as a fig grower and excel user, I would replace:

makes a mess on my desktop

with:

seeds are confusing

Because propagating fig via seed as pretty tricky, and understanding the underlying random seed in excel is also pretty bewildering. And also excel only clutters your desktop when you yourself save too many files there, right?

They can make it harder by adding features that reduce the effectiveness of player skills sharpened in previous titles.

In Elden Ring, jump is sometimes better than roll but you only discover this by facing bosses where jump is much much better then roll. Radagon fight comes to mind but there’s probably many others.

In a sense they made the game harder for those skilled at rolling by offering a complementary way to avoid damage. Now the skill ceiling has raised to knowing when to use which one instead of just knowing when to roll.

This adds both difficulty for veterans and easiness for first-timers.

Have you tried charging with Torrent then dismounting into a jump attack?

With the raptor shirt and jump talisman and a second Curved Greatsword (Morgott’s sword to stack bleed with Bloodhound Fang) you can drop some serious hurt.

That’s what worked for me on Elden Beast, just jousting with jump attacks 🤣

Good luck and congrats on Malenia, that’s the real accomplishment

Picard: Didn’t you have a son?

Worf: Do not worry sir, he is attending Klingon honor camp to learn discipline and respect. He is fine, please stop asking about him.

Amen, I am equally puzzled.

Truly some of the worst FF decisions all in the same game.

Why is the key to the postgame dungeon a piece of undifferentiated loot? Why did the game allow me to accidentally lock myself out of the postgame by selling it?

Why is the story is a low effort clone of Star Wars?

Why set FF12 in the world of FF:Tactics but make no reference to it?

Why, oh why, an all-women-race of playboy bunny girls in lingerie and heels?

That being said, programming your own teams’ AI is peak jrpg wish there was more of that. This baby got thrown out with all that dirty bath water unfortunately

I love to imagine that meeting

Come with me if you want to ~~live~~ suffer

I want to play LoP so I’ll pick it up on sale eventually.

That being said I want to highlight the second screenshot, the one that talks about Elden Ring subterranean shunning grounds.

I made almost the same comment here myself soon after I found this community and it feels very gratifying to see it echoed above.

Start going down a random well in Leyndell, follow down into Subterranean Shunning Grounds, past the hidden wall in the Cathedral of the Forsaken, past the hidden wall in the Frenzied Flame Proscription, down into Deeproot Depths and the Nameless Eternal City, ride the stone coffin to Ansel River Main and finally get a glimpse the Lake of Rot which restarts the cycle 👌

A self-anointed gatekeeper rallying for a purity test circlejerk, how unexpected!

Just attribute the minor differences to the temporal cold war 👌

 

I swear I remember they cut directly to Obrien and Data with incredulous "did he just say saucer sep" looks on their faces.

 
 

One of my absolute favorites and I'm hoping folks want to talk about it.

Hands down my most reread book. Me, an atheist, never imagined a twisty/puzzly novel about the life and times of future space jesus would speak to me so deeply.

The prose is multidimensional and layered with meanings that only come into focus once you know where it's going.

Some of my favorite examples:

  • The title of chapter 1
  • Severian first finding his dog.
  • Thecla's story of a fortune teller predicting she would sit on a throne.
  • The ending of book 1
  • The ending of book 2

Any other trek fans delighted by Group of Seventeen in book four, realizing it was 10 years ahead of the TNG episode "Darmok"?

 

Been here 5 days and I hate it already, I understand this vacancy now.

 

My personal journey of crawl > walk > run > slap

 

Yall got any of that hitbox porn?

 

still not worth watching subrosa

 

I really like the beginning, but it’s all downhill from there

 
 

I actually read somewhere that Archer did nothing wrong and afterward I began remembering all these scenes haha.

 

They're the things we carry with us, the things that make us who we are. If we lose them, we lose ourselves. I don't want my ~~pain~~ privacy taken away. I need my ~~pain~~ privacy!
