I mean, don’t put your tutorial in a pit next time?

Or, if you want to embrace the Souls humor, put an item on the edge of the pit and when people pick it up have the ground crumble away and knock them down into the tutorial pit. That way on ng+ you’ll know about it and can just ignore the item and walk outside if…

Oh no, I get that. I watched the fight, it was pretty amazing. You can tell that guy worked hard to get that fight down considering how flawless that was.

My comment was just an off topic stray thought from me about summoning since I always see people saying it’s not worth it, makes the fight harder, etc. Granted, not…

 you say that but I feel like most of the people who play this game don’t know what pots are or how to make/use them. Crafting for maybe 85% of this game’s player base seems to be “can I make something to cure rot?” and not much else. Though I am happy about that helmet that makes pots even stronger, I was watching…

You can dodge waterfowl dance it just takes a lot of practice. I’ve also seen people survive being hit by it (not the whole thing obviously, but by one part of the attack while dodging or running from the rest) but I think the damage numbers on a lot of Elden Ring bosses is probably too high. Even at the end of the…

People always say this but it still seems way easier to beat a boss with help, extra hp or not. I still see people post videos of summoned help deleting bosses or people regretting summoning help because it made the fight too easy. Sure, some people run in a die and then you’re worse off but even if you’re struggling…

Not really, you can call the store and tell them your order was screwed up and get a new one sent or get a refund through them or door dash depending on the circumstances. 

It’s a time tax but you’re not stuck with the messed up order. Sometimes they even throw in extras for free or give you a discount as an apology if…

I have no memory of cheat code DLC in Saints Row 3. Apparently it does exist, but that’s weird considering the base game also has cheat codes in it and the upgrades that made you immune to fall damage, bullets, explosions, and gave you infinite ammo. At that point what kind of cheats can they sell you?

Sorta. The real truth is that it’s split into multiple fronts now. Discord/twitter/the game’s steam community page/reddit are basically the new forum replacement. Forums were nice because they were archived and searchable but the sort of things people post on them just get posted elsewhere these days. There’s no…

the backgrounds don’t bother me, but the music bug sucked (not sure if they patched that or not) and I hate the new menu graphics. Chrono Trigger and FF6 probably got off the worst in that batch of ports/remasters but maybe the pixel remaster version of FF6 fixed that? I haven’t looked into it. I think it came out…

I usually watch stuff like all bosses or similar when it comes to speedruns of these kind of games but glitch runs are great because the mechanics of them is so interesting. Some of my favorite runs in AGDQ were glitch runs with awesome commentators who could explain what was going on. Seeing it without context is…

Nothing beats a ground pound.

This is kind of relatable for me. The store I work at used to do price changes every Saturday night so for years that was my weekend. Then out of nowhere we changed a bunch of stuff and the new change over was Friday morning, which meant I was doing those price changes on Thursday night.

I was initially kind of bummed…

Yeah definitely. When friends do it it’s got a whole different energy to it. Even if they are actually mad at the time it usually just ends up making you both laugh

I’m still convinced competitive games just shouldn’t have chat. Or it should be opt in. I get that not everyone has enough friends to just queue a full team up together on discord but I can count the amount of times I’ve found in game chat to be useful with randoms on one hand.

As far as shit talking, I feel like you…

I’ve been mad in a game before, but I never yell at team mates. From my experience the second someone calls someone out no matter how mild it is things tend to snowball. It’s just not worth it, even if you think it might get the frustration out. Plus, sometimes, your team mate is just bad at the game. Telling them…

Why do all the higher ups working at activision blizzard have such punchable faces? Is that a requirement for getting hired or something? The more of a jerk you look like, the higher your position sorta thing?

I got Netflix for a month so I could watch Arcane but ended up rewatching some of Fullmetal Alchemist too while I was there so I guess I’m part of that statistic. I wasn’t really satisfied with the anime selection though. Which is funny to me because back in the day when Netflix was dvd only their anime library was a…

My biggest gripe with these games is always the big monster fights. These dragons and giants look cool and have wonderfully animated attacks, but if you’re fighting on foot you’re basically underneath it’s crotch, can’t see anything, and are rolling away the second you see a thigh start to twitch. It’s beyond silly.

Th…

There are various items you use to invade or summon invaders into your world but yes playing in co-op opens you up for invasions even if you set a password. There’s a cheap item you can buy early on that attempts to summon more help when you get invaded (if the person summoned responds anyway) but that doesn’t stop…

It’s definitely a weird decision. A lot of guys I know at work are mad because they just want to play together without randoms disrupting their game. It doesn’t matter that invaders are outnumbered, they don’t want them in the game at all. That’s not why they’re playing. It’s not having to fight and possibly lose that…
