Pet peeves: The return (Part 2)

Demon Souls on PS5 seems to be one of a few games that has potentially got a buggy install, that leaves the game unable to actually launch.

Guess who is currently running install #2 with fingers crossed? :sweat_smile:

Edit: Dear godā€¦ itā€™s soā€¦ pretty!

Oh, thatā€™sthefirstdemon- Dead

Iā€™m still happy with Nerathionā€™s mog and managing to make the most shorts-like pants work with the rest of the gear. Thereā€™s only like, 3 shorter-than-up-to-knees pants in the game afaik - warbear woolies (and recolour items), then some pants that for some reason makes your :peach: look really defined (shading??), and then the Dreamweaver pants.

At least for leather.

I had never clicked on your profile before and for some reason I always thought you were a robe user.

The illusion is shattered.

Vanguard got you, didnā€™t he?

Coincidentally, I bought the game recently too. I played the OG one way back when so Iā€™m looking forward to seeing how well my memory holds up.

I want a fantasy work to subvert the Royal Blood trope.

Like, say, thereā€™s an ancient seal that can only be opened by a direct descendant of a legendary king, but since he lived two thousand years ago, the list of his direct descendants includes pretty much everyone on the continent.

I wonā€™t be surprised if itā€™s actually been done already.

How did the Sword in the Stone work?

Arthurian legend generally attributes it to royal blood (specifically the true heir of Uther Pendragon), but some suggestions itā€™s also ā€˜divine rightā€™, which I guess for monarchs are just two sides of the same coin.

A Gears Lancer, in my olden times style looking game!?

What does ā€œclockedā€ mean in this context? Google doesnā€™t help.

Love to see Chromehounds being remembered, albeit only briefly. :pray:

On par with the skaven version.
The mount killed me.

Just noticed that r/ffxiv has changed its description. Itā€™s certainlyā€¦ different.

Did it have the original as its description beforehand?

I donā€™t know, didnā€™t pay attention before.

Kiiinda working on something like that, for a sci-fi story Iā€™ve had in the works for zogging years now? :sweat_smile:

Thereā€™s still a royal line, and the heir is the main protagonist, but the culmination vs The Returning Evil is them being the first to figure out that the powers the line have arenā€™t the key, theyā€™re literally the gate to empowering the rest of their race.

The final fight goes from a 1 v 1 duel to, like, a 5 v 1 where the big bad ends up fighting 5 effective demi-gods and goes ā€œOh, I did NOT calculate for this, fu-!ā€

Basically what hapens when youā€™ve had a story long enough that it unironically started out with Chosen one and Royal Blood Can Be Good, and then get a bit older and wiser and start picking at the stuff you thought was fine as a teenager :sweat_smile:

ā€˜Clockedā€™ generally means noticed or realised - itā€™s often used in trans circles to specifically mean ā€˜noticed I was/they were transā€™ but Croā€™s is more about realising it is a male viera wearing a dress rather than a female one

SE should really do away with gender locked armor. Some of my fav pieces arenā€™t available to me anymore and canā€™t even be exchanged.
