Pet peeves: The return (Part 4)

[citation needed]

I love just getting random headaches out of nowhere, so delightful and totally not ruining anything I want to do :upside_down_face:

I hate how pointless co-op is in Elden Ring. It’s miles away from the fun I had helping lowbies in the Undead Burg in Dark Souls 1.

Getting summoned in the first place, thanks to the bull :poop: level range AND item range filter, is hard enough. And then you get summoned to people who are hugely out of their depth, and you waste a bunch of time only for them to die to something stupid.

If you dont get invaded by some sweaty try-hard PVP min maxer who clearly isn’t good enough for the arena and has to go seal clubbing instead…

They ruined a perfectly good multiplayer system. Even with the ridiculous weapons and builds aside, invasions only happen in 2v1 scenarios so every invader goes in expecting that, usually involving one massively overlevelled phantom.
There’s no incentive like Embers in ds3 increasing your health pool, you’re literally only invadable when you already have a buddy around.

Not to mention the issues presented by the open world being extremely segmented (and horseless) in multiplayer, as well as how easy it is to lock yourself out of multiplayer in an entire region, all it takes is killing a reskinned asylum demon there.

And on top of that the actual high level pvp scene is crippled by a lack of covenants, there’s no gank city in elden ring, where 6 lunatics belonging to different factions duke it out.

Most people in the arena suck, its issue is that it’s boring as hell to fight in. Generic flat open circle :zzz: sometimes it has the courtesy of throwing in some pillars, but overall it’s just so lazy and uninspired.

I hate that I have to wait till august for armored core

I have gone back to my main save, and beaten up Chief simp Mohg.

Sadly I am now in Consecrated Hellfields. Sorry, Snowfields.

No, wait, right first time…

Edit: Whoever designed Snowfields, and especially Ordina bloody Town, may they lead an unhappy life forever more.

I just got instant-grab attacked by a Black Knife assassin who was already dead!! she literally dropped dead the second she was finished shivving me. This damn game…

It’s Suletta Sunday.

Belmeria x Prospera is such a toxic ship that I can’t help but love. Belmeria is so thoroughly broken by guilt and self-esteem issues that even though she hates herself for it she can’t help but cling to Prospera’s raw belief in what she’s doing. She wants someone to save her, and instead of helping her, her old friend instead says ā€œNo I will do more war crimes (sexily).ā€

THAT is Yuri.

Summary

I think it’s good that Eri becoming Aerial wasn’t done because Prospera was evil and that was all, but because Eri was dying. She’s still evil, mind you.

Suletta really was emailing Miorine 3x / day, as they agreed. :blush: Miorine smiling when Chuchu thanks her omg so cute she finally has friends.

El5n getting cooked by Eri, proving that she can act independently. Was it mercy that stopped her from killing him? Or just not wanting a dead body in her cockpit?

Miorine and Suletta’s conversation in the greenhouse is so good. Miorine never blamed Suletta for what happened. Love the tomato symbolism that’s been used throughout the series, it’s on-the-nose but it’s still great. Once it became clear who was to blame, Miorine immediately disengaged and went to confront the source of the problem: Prospera. The pain in Miorine’s voice when she yells ā€œProsperaā€ :weary:

ā€œLeave Suletta out of (y)our vengeanceā€ by Miorine echoes what Aerial was thinking in the short story. Eri seems to have approved of Miorine since the beginning (since she didn’t have a negative reaction like she did with El5n) and this is just further evidence as to why.

There wasn’t a single mobile suit battle in this episode but it still slapped. Miorine and Prospera were top of their game voice-acting wise.

Still really hoping that Prospera gets the Schwarzette and it’s not Guel like some people think. It’s got a giant (quiet) zero on the head! It’s gotta be hers! We know she’s an ace pilot too, surely she gets to show that off at some point.

Is this how you honor the sixth house and the tribe unmourned?

… Yes? Listen don’t judge me it just really looks like it’ll taste good. The primordial urge to lick shiny rock.

Enjoyed Dungeons and Dragons.
But it was a wee bit predictable.

Elden Ring drop rates can burn in hell.

Why do these soldiers drop crossbow bolts? Why do they drop TWO different sorts of bolts?
They don’t even HAVE crossbows, are you serious

But they COULD have crossbows
Technically

They don’t even have heads, nevermind crossbows!!

I now have 1/4 of the items.
The standard bolts have maxed out and are now being sent to my stash :melting_face:

Edit: Finally :sob:

Took me a bit to realize you were talking about the movie and not the game.

My partner left his Warhammer 3 campaign unattended for a couple of minutes, so I’ve gone through his armies and renamed his Chaos Dwarf Blunderbuss units.
The Blundering Bussies, Live Laugh Lovers and the Bob’s Burgerbusses are in the main army.

Finished Shadowbringers main story (hooray for being late to the party)

If I had to rate the expansions/original so far:

HW > ShB > ARR > SB

My persistence (read: bloody stubbornness) has paid off on my latest Elden Ring run;

My character has 0 great runes, is pre level 50, and has managed to sneak into Leyndell and nab the Bolt of Gransax, aka Lightning Sniper.
Now to grind out 20 odd levels so I can actually use it :joy:

I finished it a week ago as well, and honestly I agree with this rating. Maybe I’d change it to SB > ARR, it really took so long to get going for me, and SB introduced me to my husband and favourite character ever Zenos.

As funny as it is clever, laddie. Mocking the blunderbuss units is the strongest reminder to lock the screen with a password.
