Pet peeves: The return (Part 9)

Omg I finally made it onto the blog but without being named!

Mixed. The last bosses all went down on the first attempt and it felt quite underwhelming, partly because I had no idea what the ending meant and it finished so abruptly.

Apparently I’m going to space with Ranni.

Overall though absolutely amazing game. Glad I gave it a proper try instead of living in fear of it like I have with all souls games.

congratz on the marriage

now that you no longer have to live in fear you may add things like Bloodborne to your backlog :point_right: :point_left:

And if you ever need just some background noise you can sorta listen to elden ring lore theory videos are now unlocked

I went out of my way and wallet to get the reinhard one. 1v1 me

I think if I’m going to play another one it’s going to be either Demon Souls which I already own for PS5 or Sekiro because samurai are cool.

The latter scares me though because I would be locked into a specific playstyle and cannot hide behind a shield.

I still hold that Bloodborne, in fact any of the Souls games, are mechanically easier/more straightforward than Elden Ring.

Some bits will still kick your behind in, but they’re much easier to strongarm through.

Not Sekiro, though.
That’s still a bit scary, even though its cool as heck ;_;

I have heard Sekiro is the hardest souls game

You can hide behind your sword though. It’s all about blocking and guard breaking. Sekiro combat is a bit like a rhythm game without music and with swords

It does tend to be the difficult one if you do not vibe with the playstyle though yeah

Speaking as someone who will just brute force/cheese stuff if it’s a roadblock: eh, depends on a lot of things
I just summon people when I’m fed up with the boss, not really attached to having “done it on my own because that’s the only way that counts”
It’s a game mechanic, it’s intended to be used, online commenters can go play their own game :person_shrugging:

Tumblr is in a weird place that is somehow better and worse than the Yahoo era.
I do get a lot of lesbian GW2 art curtesy of an old WoW friend who now plays GW2

Realised that if I got into Xbox games via game pass then I can play while my partner plays Kingmaker on the laptop

Currently playing The Answer, the postgame chapter for persona 3. Aigis has literal finger guns and Naruto runs I love her

lucky. if i love gw2 for anything its the amount of representation it gives sapphics. pastel goth yuri, toxic doomed yuri…

she is my babygirl

I unfortunately never did get into GW2 despite having a collectors… The curse of friends quitting within a week to a month of launch :pensive:

I do adore the models, Charr still is peak race design for male/female dimorphism.

I romanced her in P3, I love all the ladies but she truly is delightful and also it makes the ending hit you like a truck swinging a slightly smaller truck

We had the same problem. Lot of my wow friends played it for a month solid during beta/launch then dropped it after they (unsurprisingly) burnt themselves out on grinding world versus world without playing anything else the game had. Was talking with a friend about it earlier and just…Idk for all its ups and downs it became my go-to mmo more than wow did for comfort and reliability.

Ill always respect their designer for telling the brass “You want to give these cats bewbs its either anatomically accurate six bewbs or none.”

same. her and mitsuru were always my favourite of the P3 girls (allegra clarke your performances always make me weak) but Aigis’s new VA put her heart and soul into the character.

It was getting to be a tough choice but the yukari/mitsuru ship is peak

“That I cannot deny.”

C’est magnifique, as they say.

Like as an OG p3/the answer player i did always kinda ship them but P3R basically said “if you aint romancing them gods making it happen.” and honestly i wish the older games did that more because some couples outside the Protag were peak. Chie x Yukiko, Naoto x Kanji, Makoto x Haru, Ann x Shiho. (Someone once tried to sell me Ryuji x Haru and i found it somewhat compelling.)
