Pretty sure that was already designed

They made a lot of them

it's name for gun

Most fantasy settings fall apart as soon as you add chemical weapons into the mix.

Easy money

[real aspen]

Usually that's how it has to go.

[blissful sonnet]

Almost always being energy source, being the limiting factor.

[real aspen]

yah

[blissful sonnet]

Quite possibly the best weapon in history prior to firearms.

[rocky turtle]

[blissful sonnet]

You could put 99% of all historical warriors against a gothic knight with a halberd and it'd be like an atom bomb vs a coughing baby.

[snow tree]

I swap between halaberd and Vykes Spear

[blissful sonnet]

God those old armors are so sexy.

Sucks that modern armor has to be soft and squishy with reusable plates to be effective.

[upbeat verge]

erdtree sentinel

[real aspen]

guns are just op like that

in my case that's counted by making other things even more op

[verbal gate]

or in the case of so many lackluster stories, just make guns ineffective against magic or smth

[real aspen]

other way around

magic is effective against everything

only loses in being hard to use

[blissful sonnet]

Nah, I'd win.

[runic condor]

interesting build you got there

[real aspen]

vs a gun that anyone can grab and use

[blissful sonnet]

In my settings magic is always ludicrously OP but absurdly rare due to how complex it is and difficult to learn.

Also I hate the fucking idea of using wands or staves.

Harry Potter is a bitch if you take away his stick.

[upbeat verge]

hes not hard

[blissful sonnet]

Yeah, he's quite easy. But tbh Elden Ring itself isn't all that hard. They kind of made it easy for people to get into as a souls game.

It's not my favorite of the fromsoft games

[upbeat verge]

it can be made easy

[blissful sonnet]

Well, yeah, all of the souls games can be made easy if you treat it like a numbers game.

[upbeat verge]

because the game kind of gives u a lot of strong weapons and spells and all sorts of tools to make yourself strong

[blissful sonnet]

Meanwhile 99.99999% of people: Bleed katana

[upbeat verge]

bleed katana is ez to acquire and doesn't require you to think much thats why it works

just focus on dodging

[blissful sonnet]

My first build in Elden Ring, and favorite build, was just using a single starting scimitar, with the starting wanderer armor

[upbeat verge]

personally I prefer frost

[blissful sonnet]

No bleed, just parry (on the sword)

Offhand I used some basic faith spells.

[verbal gate]

feels like I'm back with my internet speed in 2016, fuck nexus fr fr

[real aspen]

in mine magic -entropy is something every living and most not-living things have and use as first nature. using it outside of yourself is the difficult part

[blissful sonnet]

Interesting.

[real aspen]

stars are giants balls of magic also

[blissful sonnet]

In my most recent setting, magic is effectively manipulating the dream scape of a sleeping eldritch god, but no one knows they are being lovecrafted

Instead it is using knowledge and physical effort to alter the fabric of reality

[verbal gate]

I can't I spent it all on plastic

[chrome ginkgo]

oh no...

[blissful sonnet]

Everyone has access to a 'cosmic mana stream' that is ever flowing but finite access, kind of like how current works. To enchant something is to permanently redirect some of your mana flow to that enchantment to keep it functioning

[chrome ginkgo]

They got warhammer disease

[blissful sonnet]

Which is why spell eaters are scary because they go around slurping up enchantments and stealing that mana source.

[void ocean]

what is this mod 😭

[blissful sonnet]

To each his own lmao

I'm a big fan of souls like games. I recently finished Lords of the Fallen actually

[upbeat verge]

I'm not saying theyre bad

just not worth 40/50 bucks

FFFFFFFFFFUCK NO

[sweet meadow]

people trying so hard to like darksouls

those games are ass lets be honest

stop liking trash

[blissful sonnet]

I discovered in Lords of the Fallen I can get infinite throwables, so thus began my PVP experience of gassing people to death.

It was very balanced.

[paper whale]

And except 2, the entire series is just asset recycling, on top of bad design

[sweet meadow]

u mean ds2 is best_

?

[paper whale]

LotF chad detected

[paper whale]

Of course

[sweet meadow]

i agree

[paper whale]

Not best From game, that would be Bloodborne; but best Souls

[blissful sonnet]

I liked it. Definitely up there as one of my favorite souls like PvP modes. But my favorite souls likes are Bloodborne and Nioh 2

[paper whale]

BB is amazing, overall. Except on technical level, but thats japanese games

[blissful sonnet]

Some day. Some day they will port it to PC.

[paper whale]

have you tried Hellish Quart?

[snow tree]

[blissful sonnet]

I played a bit of the demo a while back. I wouldn't exactly call it a souls like lmao

But it was alright.

[pliant meteor]

https://tenor.com/view/gundam-build-fighters-stickers-gunpla-gif-19756421

[blissful sonnet]

it's attempting to be historically accurate, which is a fine goal, but it's hard to do so when you're also so limited in range of motion.

I was one of the best Chivalry/Mordhau players back in the day, but I couldn't really call that authentic.

Considering I, and most other vets, fought like this

[untold spear]

trully

soulslikes peaked at demon souls on the ps3

[paper whale]

I meant it more in a way for a history nerd ;d

[untold spear]

everything else is GARBAGE

[blissful sonnet]

Mmm. Yeah it's okay.

Kingdom Come is better for that purpose.

Albeit it has its own issues.

They uh, REAAAAALLY overvalue how effective a sword is.

[paper whale]

They really do xD

same thing with katanas

those are dueling weapons, mostly

I'd take a spear over it any day

polearms are great

[blissful sonnet]

The latter half of my game in Kingdom Come was me stealthily running around in full plate and silently bisecting people with a halberd.

[untold spear]

[paper whale]

But, I spent too much time in HEMA to not be biased

Swords have their place, and you absolutely can win against a fully armored polearm user with a sword. But it's awfully fucking hard.

Of course.

[untold spear]

some historians would even argue alexander the great had plot armor

[paper whale]

I'm sorry, I don't watch anime, Im not sexually attracted to children

and that seems to be a prerequisite

[blissful sonnet]

Alexander the Great had the plot armor of an absurdly high IQ and the confidence to execute even the simplest of plans.

Problem: Enemy has a massive fortress on an island
Solution: Make it no longer an island

[untold spear]

and the plot armor of consistenly getting injured in an age where medicine was mostly non existing

[blissful sonnet]

Yes, King Philip II had effectively built up the Macedonian army and invented the pike phalanx

[upbeat verge]

[blissful sonnet]

Alexander the Great had extremely good tools and a loyal baseline to operate with

The pike phalanx, which is like a regular phalanx, but with a longer stick

A stroke of genius, really.

Then the Romans were like "This phalanx shit is stupid, what if we just went around"

Marcus Cassius Scaeva had received dozens of injuries including an arrow to the eye socket, a stab to the inner thigh, and countless cuts across his body during a battle in which every single man in his cohort had received severe injuries.

Humans are quite hard to kill tbh.

[pliant meteor]

Thats a weak argument and yknow it. There a lots of good storytelling to come from anime like Cowboy Bebop or Jojo, overall it isnt just a crass generalization of that. But everyone has their tastes I suppose.

As much as I'd hate to admit it, I recently got into Umamusume. I'm not much of an anime fan, but good writing is good writing, and that shit has it in spades.

[paper whale]

Please bro, dont compare Bebop or any other actual art to the 99% of the pedo slop you see on the Net

I like good anime

[pliant meteor]

Im not.

[paper whale]

especially the 90s ones

[blissful sonnet]

I recommend Umamusume, despite how weird it looks from the outside looking in. I scoffed at it but then it hooked me.

Made me cry, even.

The Umamusume movies have more fucking funding than Nasa.

[paper whale]

But I absolutely hate the trend of making all characters look like they're 13

[blissful sonnet]

Same.

[paper whale]

and nowadays its everywhere

[pliant meteor]

Umamusume is about irl honse support. Gives them good homes and meals

[verbal gate]

cyngray manga is actually insane

wat

[verbal gate]

japan has a really good track record when it comes to sports media

[paper whale]

if you liked GITS, try Cyber City OEDO and Patlabor ❤️

[blissful sonnet]

Umamusume is an anime about horse girls

The horse girls are based on real life Japanese racing horses

Following their lives but translated into a more humanized format.

At its core, they are stories about athletes

[paper whale]

What the fuck

[untold spear]

umamusume is an anime based on agnes tachyon. the rest is just filler.

[blissful sonnet]

Like I said, from the outside looking in, it doesn't look like anything special

But trust me

The stories are really fucking good.

[paper whale]

No, it doesnt. It looks like regular pedo slop

[verbal gate]

what is it with you and this pedo talk?

[paper whale]

this, dude

Im incredibly alergic to this

And I know I overreact sometime

[blissful sonnet]

There is like one character I would argue is pedobait, the rest are entirely wholesome and made to be seen more as daughters than anything. Because you are their trainer.

They are athletes

[paper whale]

Dunno man. Maybe it's wholesome, Im just really bothered by the aesthetic

[upbeat verge]

[blissful sonnet]

You'd get over it. Trust me.

[untold spear]

you would pair well with blue archive fans

[paper whale]

I like the idea, I just wish they would not look like children

[paper whale]

What's that and why?

i wouldn't think too much about it...

[paper whale]

You made me google it

Fuck you xD

Is it yuri on ice?

In my case, Silence Suzuka's theme from the video game in her main story makes me extremely fucking sad

[verbal gate]

have you already read up to 196? don't want to spoil you or anything

[timid hollow]

I would argue that aint artificial

[blissful sonnet]

Don't worry about spoiling me, I already know the stories of the horses themselves which is spoilers enough.

[timid hollow]

Consort radahn at release felt artificial with his bullshit hp

[verbal gate]

later parts is a beautiful look at an athlete that has begun to decline, desperately trying to stave off the inevitable

[blissful sonnet]

Artificial is Miyazaki reusing the asylum demon's moveset for every erdtree spirit except 'teehee homing soul mass'

Or trying to knock you off with a zombie around the corner for the 500,000,000th time

[verbal gate]

which you know, is deeply connected to the IRL Oguri Cap's losing streak where folks were calling for him to be retired

[blissful sonnet]

Yup.

[timid hollow]

I like bojack horseman

[blissful sonnet]

You know, I cried for Arthur Morgan. I remember feeling emotional for a lot of very good games, and some movies. I balled my eyes out for Grave of the Fireflies.

But for some fucking reason

Umamusume keeps drawing emotion out of me.

And that's just the mark of amazing writing that pairs so well with what actually happened in real life to these poor animals

[blissful sonnet]

And the funny part is, so many people look at this shit from the outside (I did too) and go "Stupid dumb looking anime about horse girls."

But every single person I know who actually gave it a chance, calls it a masterpiece.

Even people who normally dislike anime.

Dudes who go from "This shit is stupid" to calling Haru their daughter over the span of 2 hours lmfao

it has the same effect on folks like older sports anime like Hajime no Ippo or Slam Dunk imo

I fucking hated TM Opera O then I did her story and now I love her.

If you turned toxic positivity to 11

[timber oxide]

It's not. I gave it a chance twice. It's not a masterpiece

[timid hollow]

I tried to get into it but it felt like a stupid anime about horse girls

Not that i mind anyone else enjoying it, but meh

[blissful sonnet]

Well to each his own.

[timber oxide]

I gave it a chance back during it's original release and once more during it's global release. It is not a masterpiece, it's one of the worst gacha games I played

[blissful sonnet]

The game itself is nothing special, it's the story.

Also tbh the movies do a much better job

[timid hollow]

I wanna watch 91 days now

I saw opening for that and seems peak

OH I HAVE TO WATCH GANGSTA

[timber oxide]

It's a collection of ok stories , they aren't anything special

[blissful sonnet]

I would argue they are pretty special considering they are closely tied to what actually happened with the real life animal, with an impressive amount of accuracy, actually.

[timber oxide]

The gameplay gets repetitive very fast and is rng dependent, the monetization is absolute ass and the company responsible for the game should burn

[timid hollow]

Pyson sounds like me when i talk about genshin

[blissful sonnet]

Eh. They're one of the better gacha companies I've seen. They aren't nearly as bad as a lot of others, and they've donated a lot to the JRA and many farms.

[timber oxide]

Better?

They are one of the worst

[blissful sonnet]

Whether you like them or not, they built a fanbase that has had an incredibly positive impact

[timber oxide]

I am the local gacha expert

[timber oxide]

Building a fanbase is not a big achievement

[blissful sonnet]

But I digress, it's hard to make me emotional, not many things have managed, Umamusume manages to do that, so even if it's just hitting me in my weakspot, it impresses me.

[cold hound]

a retirement home for a horse?!

[upbeat verge]

[left mantle]

Well devs shouldn't have to indefinitely support titles

(For those who can't tell, sarcasm)

[carmine laurel]

[blissful sonnet]

Umamusume taught me way too much about horses and horse racing, when I previously knew jack fuck all.

It's an interesting subject

[carmine laurel]

he has like a 6 minute on lsf where he bitches about aoc closing down but does his best to avoid bringing up SKG ideals

its so funny

"man theres gotta be like... some law or something that can apply here"

[blissful sonnet]

Horses are pretty intelligent, and can have an astonishingly wide range of personalities.

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

I hate that I know that reference.

[untold spear]

which you are pretty much forced to as you fight him so many times

[upbeat verge]

I'm aware

[timid hollow]

[upbeat verge]

I mean i dont do much dmg

I practically tickle him

[blissful sonnet]

I was glad that I workshopped him so many times when I first fought him in the super early game, because the ability to fight him in my sleep came in handy when they threw multiple of them at me at once

Still though, of all the souls likes I've played, nioh 2 is definitely my favorite

Mechanically it's sex

[proven tundra]

My favourite souls like is ER
Because it's the only one I've played

It's also my least favourite

Simultaneously the best and worst

[blissful sonnet]

Elden Ring is unironically my least favorite of all the fromsoft games

I even like DS2 more than it

[upbeat verge]

oh

[proven tundra]

I tried to play DS2

[upbeat verge]

I dodged the tail and still got hit

ok

[proven tundra]

Didn't click at all

[upbeat verge]

nice

Love it man

hitbox out of 10

[blissful sonnet]

It's extremely different from any of the other dark souls games

But once you get used to it, I think it does a lot of things right

Much more mechanically sound than the earlier/later souls games

[real aspen]

i just found the control scheme weird

besides that it all clicked

but definitely wasnt designed with kbm in mind

[blissful sonnet]

Atm I'm starting my playthrough of Nioh 3, and let me tell you

[proven tundra]

I figured that souls games aren't for me
ER was just a one off

[blissful sonnet]

Nioh 3 is kicking my ass

Which is amazing to me

because Nioh 2 was already the hardest souls like I've ever played

Nioh 3 is even harder

I've also had numerous friends (most of which are souls veterans) rage quit on the very first enemy in Nioh 2

so naturally I'm going to see if I can get them to play Nioh 3 at some point so I can watch them suffer an aneurysm.

Because I am a good friend.

[real aspen]

not soulslike but

peaks of yore is the only game to make me actively stressed and sweaty

[rocky turtle]

Tbh if you make smart decisions and think tactically Quasimorph isn't that bad.

[real aspen]

sorry i just cant stand turn-based stuff

It's not... really turn based

It's more 'the world only moves when you move' kind of thing

Staring at that dude's shotgun

For as long as you want

But you're already dead

An easy way to make me love your game is if you make weapons actually lethal.

[oblique belfry]

ah those

yeah

well not really rule of three

[real aspen]

idk what it's actually called

[blissful sonnet]

Are you talking about the gaming rule of threes where it is usually three phases for a boss, or 3 hits to a kill?

Or the rule of two from Star Wars

Which is Bane being an idiot

[real aspen]

but anything that isnt obviously heavily armored or tough, should take a 3 action combo to kill

[upbeat verge]

elden ring is terribly optimised

[rocky turtle]

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-skyrim-gif-12158785412394332359

[upbeat verge]

like proper ass

[blissful sonnet]

I go even further. Rule of one. If you don't have armor and you get hit in the head with a sword, you are dead.

[oblique belfry]

halo 2

[blissful sonnet]

That rule should apply to my enemies and me

[timid hollow]

my friends are starting wow classic

one day someone will play gw2 with me

[blissful sonnet]

Jedi Outcast/Jedi Academy was awesome because of an old console command g_saberrealisticcombat which meant that even just your lightsaber touching them

Would unironically cut limbs off

Or cut them in half

We haven't seen dismemberment in Star Wars since.

Because Disney

[timid hollow]

i still dont get the dismemberment but ben just turns to ash

i know he old

[upbeat verge]

elden ring really isn't difficult but it is a numbers game
spec properly get the proper ashes of war and weapons

[timid hollow]

but uh

[upbeat verge]

gg whole game becomes a joke

[blissful sonnet]

It's lore shit.

[timid hollow]

thats every souls except sekiro tho

[blissful sonnet]

I was a massive Star Wars fan/nerd who knew all the lore

but I've since become bitter and want Star Wars to die

[timid hollow]

get the right build in ds1/ds2/ds3 and youre good

just use the starting weapon and spam STR points in bloodborne and youre good

[blissful sonnet]

One of the reasons I like Nioh 2. It's hard to cheese a boss, they are extremely tanky and you are very squishy.

So you have to prove you know their moveset

[void ocean]

most calming 3 salvadors encounter ever

[upbeat verge]

true

I genuinelky think

none of the 3 dark souls

or elden ring are hard

they just boil down to googling a good build
speccing properly and thats it

all 3 games become a joke

a walk in the park

there I said it

[timid hollow]

i didnt google, i just used the greatsword in every game and full str and it worked so i never changed it

played trough ds1-3 and er with the same weapon

[blissful sonnet]

And then strength builds have the nerve to call dex or magic builds easy

when they stunlock Melania to death

[copper vapor]

Force Unleashed

[timid hollow]

Eh

[blissful sonnet]

FU was neat but it didn't really have much dismemberment

[timid hollow]

Every build is easy

[blissful sonnet]

Not on the level of outcast or academy

[timid hollow]

if you know what youre doing

some people would probably struggle a lot with my build, i would struggle with a dex build

[upbeat verge]

alright enough er I'm bored of htis shit

[copper vapor]

[marsh cargo]

ivan says the most bottom of the barrel known shit and acts as if it was a hot take

I mean that shitty souls-like with the ginger twink has SOME dismemberment

[timid hollow]

get on my level

FUCK jedi outcast

jedi academy is the only good one of the two

[upbeat verge]

or use the big bonk sword

same fucking shit

[latent hazel]

jedi outcast is legit fucking massive dogshit

[blissful sonnet]

[latent hazel]

i am not exaggerating

that game is awful

the level design

[upbeat verge]

anyway I'm out to eat

later nerdz

[latent hazel]

is made up by the utterly derranged

[blissful sonnet]

Level design, sure, but the game was great

Gameplay was ground breaking

[latent hazel]

that game is unplayable without a guide

genuinely

[latent hazel]

ITS A SEQUEL BRO

JUST PLAY ACADEMY

[upbeat verge]

?

[latent hazel]

academy is an actually good game

outcast is straight hot liquid ass

[copper vapor]

I got stuck in one level but I was 13 and didn't know english well at the time
once I got past that it was fine

[latent hazel]

bro

theres literally

[blissful sonnet]

Dark Forces 2 is not really the same thing

[latent hazel]

a moment in the game you have to go to a random cliff and look down

with 0 indication

you have to do that

to progress

90% of the game is walking around and flicking switches and the game pretty much never tells you what the switch did

[copper vapor]

I got stuck in nar shaddaa because it took me a while to figure out I had to ride the trash compactor carts and use force push on the thingys

[latent hazel]

that game's level design is unironically the WORST EVER from what i experienced

[latent hazel]

that level isn't even bad or hard, genuinely

[timid hollow]

[blissful sonnet]

Yeah that particular map was pretty bad in level design

[latent hazel]

it's pretty fun all things considered

[blissful sonnet]

But the rest was fine

[latent hazel]

you just run away from the rancor

[copper vapor]

Star Wars Dark Forces 4 - Jedi Knight 3 - Jedi Outcast 2 - Jedi Academy

as civvie once said

[latent hazel]

which level has the room with the microwave or whatever

[latent hazel]

on scale of bad to good?

[hearty marsh]

Hello. Could you please tell me the name of the mod where I can find audio files with a recording of the announcer's or radio host's voice? I heard it in the Rostock location, the words going something like, "Hello again, Three Dog Night..."? The radio host delivers news about the zone in Russian.

[latent hazel]

#╟🔰☢newbies-chat

[copper vapor]

1/10 you deflected 2 attacks

[copper vapor]

no, the game progression

[timid hollow]

didnt get hit

so ez

[copper vapor]

don't care, you deflected 2 hits

[latent hazel]

wuh

[blissful sonnet]

Meanwhile my ass is over here in Nioh 3 fighting this giant horse who keeps trying to grab and molest me.

[timid hollow]

the last deflect was cinema tho

from the jump hit

at the cliff

loved it

[copper vapor]

dark forces 1 is the doom clone
then dark forces 2 has the "subtitle" jedi knight

then "jedi knight 2" has the subtitle "jedi outcast" (so dark forces 3)
then jedi academy is generally called jedi knight 3
so dark forces 4 - jedi knight 3 - jedi outcast 2 - jedi academy

[hearty marsh]

[latent hazel]

Jedi academy feels like an actual game
while Jedi Outcast feels like a modernized version of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" for Atari 2600

in that they have the most asinine convoluted gameplay for 0 reason

[copper vapor]

we spamming now?

[timid hollow]

i should try nioh

[blissful sonnet]

Maybe you can use your lightsaber to cut that tree down and make a bridge.

[hearty marsh]

No.

[left mantle]

Yes.

[copper vapor]

then why you sending the same message twice within a minute

[timid hollow]

maybe.

[copper vapor]

[runic condor]

@oblique belfry

[copper vapor]

you should

[blissful sonnet]

Be warned Nioh 2 is leagues harder than any of the souls games, and a lot of souls players rage quit very early on.

[copper vapor]

I am totally not biased

[blissful sonnet]

and nioh 3 is even harder because I'm getting molested atm

[latent hazel]

in the trial chamber where u get ur light saber back in outcast, the final test requires you to force pull the saber

THIS WAS NEVER A MECHANIC IN ACADEMY

[timid hollow]

I have nioh 1 on epic, dont know if it will run

[oblique belfry]

literally me rn if the save wasnt mp

[copper vapor]

........... really?
it's generally considered the easiest of the 3, especially for newcomers
veterans are stomping through the game effortlessly

[runic condor]

just ask for the files

and save it as your own

[oblique belfry]

hannya IM the host

[blissful sonnet]

The bosses are substantially harder than anything I've fought in Nioh 2.

[oblique belfry]

im talking about waiting for others

[runic condor]

ah

[timid hollow]

hmmm im 1gb vram short but i made worse things work

[copper vapor]

nioh isn't that hard. Maybe nioh 1 is because you don't have as many tools for animation cancelling and ki recovery

[runic condor]

skill issue

[blissful sonnet]

They have also readded old bosses from Nioh 2, and added moves to them

[oblique belfry]

[copper vapor]

wild. I only died once to ||takeda shingen||

[copper vapor]

and nioh 1 as well. I fought ||Hino-Enma|| and ||Ryomen Sukuna||

[blissful sonnet]

Could be that you can play Nioh 3 differently since it is pseudo open world, and you can level.

[copper vapor]

could be

[blissful sonnet]

I'm currently stuck at fighting the whacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube whore

Snake bitch

Whose entire moveset revolves around shoving my camera up her ass

at like level 8, with 3 elixirs

[timid hollow]

also my mom finished the fallout show

she liked it a lot and is now pretty sad its done

[copper vapor]

you're basically not playing the game, then lol

have fun bashing your head against the wall ig

[blissful sonnet]

I hate this fucking thing.

[timid hollow]

from what i saw when i walked by it seemed pretty cool, was nice seeing the ncr and vegas

[blissful sonnet]

Well, that's how Nioh 2 was. It was linear. If you wanted to farm you had to repeat levels a lot.

[timid hollow]

ill probably enjoy it because im not a die hard fallout fan but a newbie

[blissful sonnet]

You could overlevel but it was obvious you were overleveled

But in all fairness, Nioh 3 wasn't that painful for me until I met this snake slut.

It's a little more difficult because they take away shit you started with in Nioh 2, like your stances

and they give you the ki pool of a coughing baby

[copper vapor]

nioh 2 also had upgrades and unlocks along the missions as you progressed through them

no one expects you to just bee-line towards the crucible and, while inside the crucible, bee-line towards the boss

You're WAY under the recommended level for that mission because you wanna play it "like Nioh 2"

[blissful sonnet]

but otherwise I only died like once so far

But this snake thing Jakotsu Baba is kicking my ass more than Hayabusa did in the 650 levels of the depths

[copper vapor]

[blissful sonnet]

Fucking insane ass map wide sweeps

[copper vapor]

surely it's the game's fault.

[blissful sonnet]

Didn't say it was?

Obviously I'm not good enough atm

[copper vapor]

I didn't say you said it was

but again

[blissful sonnet]

So I just need to learn her moveset

[copper vapor]

you're WAY underleveled for that mission

[rocky turtle]

finally getting some psy op guys

[blissful sonnet]

I got her down to like 10% HP but she has SOOOOOOO many attacks, and it's hard to tell what she is doing because my camera is not wide enough lmao

She is the first boss in all of Nioh 1 and 2 to make me unironically take a break

[light agate]

I believe I've gotten the Poland experience today.

[copper vapor]

maybe if you were a little bit stronger and killed her faster

[blissful sonnet]

The goal is to not get hit

[copper vapor]

the longer a fight takes, the greater the risk

[blissful sonnet]

Getting hit shows failure

Not getting hit means success

[copper vapor]

oh you're one of those retards.

alright

[light agate]

Saw some dude in a skirt and a wig squatting in front of my shop. Smokin a ciggy.

That was a new sight.

[blissful sonnet]

I mean, it's how you had to fight in the depths in Nioh 2.

Because unless you went with an absurd build you had to know the fight inside and out

[copper vapor]

so... it's not how you had to fight if you built correctly.

[timid hollow]

dont listen to mbo, not getting hit is the way

[blissful sonnet]

I hope they bring back Toshimitsu because I want to suffer again

[timid hollow]

https://tenor.com/view/mando-way-this-is-the-way-mandalorian-star-wars-gif-18467370

[blissful sonnet]

If by build correctly you mean copy the most broken build online and make the game easy, then sure

If that is how you want to play it

You do you

[copper vapor]

or you can just
read the set bonuses and gear up according to what you wanna have

[timid hollow]

@arctic flicker mr menace

[blissful sonnet]

I also made a goofy ass build with spear that was so tanky and regenned HP so fast, and had so much blocking KI, that I was unironically invincible

[timid hollow]

how does the relationship stuff work

[blissful sonnet]

and no boss in the game could break my guard

[copper vapor]

mfw game has extensive and in-depth itemization and people just don't want to engage with it
then complain that game is hard

[arctic flicker]

the factions?

[blissful sonnet]

But that isn't exactly playing the game

[timid hollow]

i have lvl one with one faction now and installed a fixer thingy, so is it basically just more slots for such stuff?

[copper vapor]

it literally is? It's one of the game's main features. What insane logic is that lmao

[arctic flicker]

Your ship got a limited amount of slots, increasing relations with factions grant access to equipment you may want

fixer is nice for that 30% trade value on the blackmarket

[timid hollow]

ah so when i chose the fixer thing i just unlocked the possibility of installing it on ship?

[blissful sonnet]

I mean breaking the game to make it laughably easy is entirely possible, but it's not in the spirit of the actual game.

[arctic flicker]

yup

[timid hollow]

alr

[rocky turtle]

getting a right there

[copper vapor]

says who? You?
It's part of the tools the game gives you to become stronger. The game gives them to you and expects you to use them.

[timid hollow]

slowly getting in to the flow, combat can get pretty fast actually when you know your units and their capabilities

[blissful sonnet]

I'm sure the devs anticipated me becoming literally invincible and unkillable

I'm sure they intended that behavior

lmfao

You do you.

[copper vapor]

They wouldn't have given us extremely strong set/grace bonuses if they didn't anticipate players using them

[blissful sonnet]

I like a challenge.

I don't play Souls Likes to sleep my way through them

[marsh cargo]

trust me the spirit of the game is not reading anything at all

[blissful sonnet]

I play them to challenge myself

[copper vapor]

did you play Stranger of Paradise? You can quite literally become invincible in that game. Just face-tank everything and take zero damage.
The devs "anticipated" players would use that because THEY PUT IT IN THE FUCKING GAME to begin with.

[copper vapor]

ok... stay stuck at the first boss for another 30 hours then I'm sure that's a lot of fun

[blissful sonnet]

That isn't the first boss

more like second.

[timid hollow]

im a challenge guy myself, im scared for example that i get too op in fallout new vegas

[copper vapor]

tutorial boss doesn't even count

wait

[timid hollow]

im op = game gets easy =bores me = i drop game

[copper vapor]

did you die to the tutorial boss?

masakage was barely a beefier elite mob

me when joshua o brien stomped me easily because i had no idea what my acs stats even are

i just tuned turn speed

[blissful sonnet]

The beauty of Nioh imo is honestly all the tech you can do, mechanically.

[copper vapor]

the hayabusas in nioh are easy to kill, you can stunlock them easily with the right ability combo

[blissful sonnet]

The RPG shit is just kind of there.

[copper vapor]

surely

[timid hollow]

wait

[marsh cargo]

[timid hollow]

why is ren in nioh

oh both are team ninja

hmmmm

[copper vapor]

cameo

[copper vapor]

yes

also it's Ren, not Ryu

he's Ryu's descendant

(and in nioh 1 he's called Jin)

[timid hollow]

i said ren

[blissful sonnet]

He is quite hard until you're prepared for him. Honestly early game in Nioh humans are braindead easy but monsters are hard, then it reverses as you progress in the depths

[timid hollow]

but didnt know that still

[blissful sonnet]

Humans become hard, monsters easy

[timid hollow]

cool to know

[blissful sonnet]

but once you get good Ki-stunlock chains going

You can kill most humans reliably

[timid hollow]

one day i will get into ninja gaiden

[blissful sonnet]

Ninja Gaiden is gud

[timid hollow]

when i finished dmc

(still havent finished dmc3 since a year BECAUSE FUCK PS2 LEVEL DESIGN)

[blissful sonnet]

The shit you can do in Nioh 2, even after all the hours I have in it, still amazes me

[copper vapor]

yes, I'm explaining the difference between Ren and Ryu because Ryu is the one from ninja gaiden

[timid hollow]

ah

makes sense

[blissful sonnet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r33b6NpJS-I

[copper vapor]

meanwhile, the humble God of Wind II

don't tell me you don't learn skills either because it's "rpg shit"

[blissful sonnet]

That's something I'm slightly annoyed about so far in Nioh 3. I don't have hardly any tools, where are my stances, why is my break attack the parry

[copper vapor]

atp I don't even know how you play this game anymore

[blissful sonnet]

I liked the fire break attack because you could use it offensively

and continue chains

Also the yokai abilities coming out of the box really slows down combo chains as well

It's not seamless

[copper vapor]

you unlock that further on with the story

and stances are unlocked with skill points

... you haven't even unlocked high/low stance yet.

I'm baffled.

[blissful sonnet]

I assumed the crucible was the next phase of the story, considering my main story marker was sending me there.

I legitimately just thought I was progressing.

am I not supposed to fight this snake whore?

[copper vapor]

it is. But that particular thing you mentioned is unlocked further on

[blissful sonnet]

Ah

[copper vapor]

not at your current state, but don't let that stop you challenge yourself.

[blissful sonnet]

Well I haven't got past snake slut yet

[copper vapor]

you don't have to. The stances are literally in the skill tree. Just get skill points and buy them

[blissful sonnet]

Eh? It said I had to find some shit first

[copper vapor]

... lol

[blissful sonnet]

I tried to buy the stances first thing when I got the lock of hair

but it told me no

I'm gonna be upset and feel stupid if I could have had high stance this entire time against this methed up flailing tube monster

[shrewd gull]

;3

[copper vapor]

that's all it says in my game. If there's any requirement (like some dojo mission), it doesn't tell me anymore

[blissful sonnet]

Well I tried to get it, and I couldn't.

[copper vapor]

which just compounds the joke

[blissful sonnet]

So it's locked for me for whatever reason

[snow tree]

Visons of rump...

[marsh cargo]

it all boils down to this

[celest plank]

Its the last okayish episode, at 7.8 stars

Every single one after that is 8.5-9.6

[oblique belfry]

o

[real aspen]

@blissful sonnet have you figured any ways to avoid the adventurer/mercenary trope if you want a character who isn't bound to anything in particular, but still needs to operate freely within the society?

A billion possibilities out there, yet somehow a variation of one thing keeps appearing in better half of the worlds I've seen. so called adventurers; mercenaries and freelancers who, among other things, risk their lives doing all lines of jobs for wealth and glory -mostly wealth, though.

This kind of... Career, tends to be most common with worlds in early and middle stages of development, when there's still something an average person can discover and adventure to, but I've seen advanced civilizations where adventurers are the cornerstone of society as well.

But most importantly, anyone with bare minimum of capability can become such a freelancer and earn significant status for themselves, which is extremely convenient for a frequent traveler like me.

Expectedly, adventurers have a active and thriving role in this world. And that's just what I'm going to do going onwards.

[celest plank]

The last 5 episodes are the best imo

17-21

[rocky turtle]

horse but hole

[oblique belfry]

i see

[celest plank]

I got to s6e5 with my brother today

[oblique belfry]

nice

[celest plank]

junior shooting tony was fucking amazing

[oblique belfry]

[celest plank]

after we are done with this im gonna introduce him to True Detective

[blissful sonnet]

Sociopath, Nihilist, Hunger for power are all fine motivators to make someone go on a massive killing spree for fun and profit.

[snow tree]

Try finger, but hole

[blissful sonnet]

Alternatively you can just make shit whisper to them from the back of their skulls to draw them out.

Or the 'nothing left' trope where you're forced to adventure because there is no reason for you to stick around

[real aspen]

whuh

brother

i said operate freely within society

not kil the society

[blissful sonnet]

Well you take it slow, obviously

A good one is adventurer by proxy

[rocky turtle]

i will

[blissful sonnet]

Friend or lover went to adventure

disappeared

You try to retrace their steps

[real aspen]

eh doesnt really track with the kind of character im doing

take note how he talks in the quote

"of the worlds i've seen"

[blissful sonnet]

Sounds like a researcher

Wants to 'adventure' for the simple fact of seeing what lies beyond the scope of mortal eyes

Traveling scholars are always fun

[real aspen]

true

that's pretty much only reason he travels

that and boredom

[blissful sonnet]

Ideal way to cleanse him of his boredom is to invent a reason for him to care

Like a monumental earth shattering fuck up that threatens everything

He opened the wrong box

touched the wrong button

Jacked off to the wrong eldritch deity

[real aspen]

i appreciate your ideas but uh, how to put this

[timid hollow]

create a little side character he meets in a village where they get attacked and their whole family slaughtered and he vows to protect the little one

then he goes on a quest to find the monsters that did this

[real aspen]

he himself nukes worlds he deems unsalvageable

[timid hollow]

(most average story writing ever)

hacks

[real aspen]

that's exactly what im doing

and variations of that

[timid hollow]

its a good trope to humanize the character

makes him more relatable

[blissful sonnet]

I like to explore the inhuman concepts personally

No immortal being or something that possesses that much power could ever see the world in the ways we do

and never would.

Not a billion slaughtered orphans at his doorstep would cause him to bat an eye.

[real aspen]

eh

[subtle nexus]

It was showing this since I began P5 btw

[real aspen]

he was just a dude in past

[blissful sonnet]

What WOULD make him feel human, is losing that safety, to be exposed finally to risk

[real aspen]

well, a weird dude

but a dude nonetheless

[blissful sonnet]

Take a god, and strip away immortality, and all that power

Like newborn babies

Despite thousands of years of experience

[snow tree]

I love fighting mirandas

[blissful sonnet]

Despite all that knowledge and talent, they are vulnerable.

[pallid sapphire]

AYOOO

[blissful sonnet]

I would imagine they would hide away

[real aspen]

thousands

[blissful sonnet]

Quintillions, gaijillions

fucktillions

etc.

[real aspen]

my timespan is a bit bigger than that , not that it really matters though, just arbitrary big number really

[blissful sonnet]

Overpowered characters tend to get boring, and make others get bored with them.

They need obvious weaknesses

Or it's just a deus ex

[real aspen]

he IS deus ex

that's one of core points

[blissful sonnet]

I bet my god would beat up your god

[real aspen]

nuh uh

[blissful sonnet]

[real aspen]

no powerscaling bullshit here

Oh there is always room for powerscaling.

Didn't say he needed to eat it.

[real aspen]

damn

[blissful sonnet]

There is a funny character in STar Wars

With one of the funniest weaknesses of all time

Darth Sion, a literal immortal being of pain and suffering

He physically cannot die

The force holds him together

But there is also a lizard in Star Wars, that dispels the force in an area

So he could die to a lizard being near him

And that is hilarious to me

[real aspen]

inb4 he goes on a quest to exterminate every single one of those lizards

[blissful sonnet]

He's too busy getting a boner over the last living Jedi

While the Star Wars equivalent of darth galactus goes around hungry hungry hippoing worlds

and being the most overpowered being in Star Wars lore

And dying to the equivalent of microphone feedback.

[real aspen]

anyway i disagree with op characters being boring

they just work differently

[marsh cargo]

batman is boring for this reason

[blissful sonnet]

They are boring unless they are ludicrously complex

and to be complex, they need to have fears

desires

[real aspen]

they shouldnt be the focus of stories, they're like a plot device for side characters, who are actually the main characters

[blissful sonnet]

Usually the big bad takes that job

[real aspen]

he acts the big bad sometimes

ya know, to make sure heroes become heroes

[copper vapor]

how would he exterminate those lizards if even being near one would kill him

[real aspen]

henchmen

[blissful sonnet]

He has interns for that

[copper vapor]

we all know how well that turned out

or

the ones who played kotor2

[blissful sonnet]

I gotta play it with the restoration patch sometime

[blissful sonnet]

3 quarters game

[real aspen]

either way seems like there's no avoiding the adventurer trope

it's just too versatile

[blissful sonnet]

There are, but I don't really know much about your character beyond

"He's a bored god"

"And kind of an asshole"

[real aspen]

he's not a god

[blissful sonnet]

You're basically just recreating the abrahamic religion.

[blissful sonnet]

So he just casually blows up worlds

But he's not a god

[real aspen]

yah

[blissful sonnet]

Worlds go cheap these days.

[real aspen]

look, think of it like, wh40k style world

[copper vapor]

colonel hux decides to go hitch-hiking across the galaxy?

[blissful sonnet]

God I hate 40k

[real aspen]

Utter dystopia

better blow it up

[blissful sonnet]

So he's just an inquisitor

I hate 40k because everyone in it has negative IQ and the dumbest of reasons for doing anything.

And all of their problems are literally caused by being too stupid to know any better

and could be solved by reading a single book

and also why haven't the Necron won already

[marsh cargo]

because they are fighting eachother

[copper vapor]

they move slowly

[blissful sonnet]

They can like tap a button and evaporate a solar system

and then milk their pokeball god to make a new one

[marsh cargo]

doing so could destroy the galaxy which is hwy they dont use it

[blissful sonnet]

or, you know, literally stop time

[blissful sonnet]

Based on their power scaling this seems like a minor inconvenience at worst.

[marsh cargo]

nah it is

they dont want to destroy the galaxy

they want to conquer it

[blissful sonnet]

It'd be too much work to fix it.

[real aspen]

anyway, he's like, everything and anything depending on what story he's doing

well kind of

he takes roles

[marsh cargo]

and stopping time isnt even a unique thing to them

even some humans can stop time

[blissful sonnet]

I think we should just get all of the halo devices and strap them to Row boat girly man and throw him into the warp

[marsh cargo]

turbo mega vampire

good plan

[real aspen]

or other times he's just messing around, like in this case, which is why i need a way for him to operate within a society

[marsh cargo]

i will agree on characters being absolutely retarded tho

[blissful sonnet]

I don't like 40k, but all of my friends do, and got me to play Rogue Trader

So when I randomly found a halo artifact and put it on without question

They all lost their shit

[marsh cargo]

yeah

because its not the generic vampire turning device

[copper vapor]

[blissful sonnet]

But it's okay, because Margaret Thatcher became so strong that enemies were literally dying by walking into her

[left mantle]

This is a gif I will always be able to hear

[marsh cargo]

its one of those few funny things were
a dark eldar a normal eldar and a nun will agree its a bad idea

[copper vapor]

nooo why are you equipping the OP item, stop breaking the game

[marsh cargo]

its honestly peak

[blissful sonnet]

Because it's an RPG first, and I don't respect warhammer

Also I didn't know it was OP before I put it on

and you can't take it off

lmao

[blissful sonnet]

Ironically that was my party the entire playthrough

Being an outsider to Warhammer 40k my first instinct was to turn my ship into a Noah's Ark with 2 of everything

I would unironically try to befriend chaos demons and Tau in the same breath

Also that fucking Space Wolf was so cringe

Dude going 'uwu' mid battle

Literally

Why couldn't they have given a less cringey spess muhreen.

[left mantle]

Found the dude dying first in the horror movie
