Dark Souls 1 really makes you feel weak and insignificant in a way I was not expecting, coming off of their later games. Fighting a black knight is terrifying even when I've got the parry timings down. Good game, this timeless classic of yours.

Got a ticket to Top Gun Maverick and I'm genuinely excited to see a film that I've convinced myself is an Ace Combat adaptation. Flying jets and hokey melodrama? I don't see the difference!

Saw Doctor Strange: Die Stranger last night. My impressions? Marvel should hire Sam Raimi for more movies. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

The more I play Horizon FW, the more I realize how grindy it is. May bump it down to easy and just push through the story. After 25 hours it still feels like I'm low-level and I'm just grinding machines for better stats. Don't recall ZD being like this.

Our landlord wants to raise the rent, which led to a fightgument with my SO about whether we should meet him in the middle or not. Also, I need to get an endoscopy. Appreciate that I can vent and post a dumb meme in the same post. You stay classy, Qtoid.

Ghostrunner seems like a cool game, but a combination of no mid-level saves and session breaking bugs have sent it straight into the uninstall pile. Restarting a level on a chance the bug won't happen again? Nah fuck that.

My first time playing Sekiro, I spent two grueling days trying to beat the final boss. Now, I beat him on my first attempt on a ng file (Sorry, Pat). Obscenely long text, and flaming hot ER take, in the comments.

Happy birthday Occams! You're good people and you deserve good things. Also something about teeth.

Playing Sekiro for the first time in 3 years, and... so far it hasn't been kicking my ass like it used to. Gyuobo? Nice horse. Lady butterfly? Only need the one snap seed. Flaming bull? Haha lol. And they all made me miserable on my first playthrough.

I don't usually care to fully complete games or get the plat, but with Elden Ring I felt compelled to see everything it had to offer. After 127 hours, the deed is done. I personally doubt I'll play anything better this year. Still no Bloodborne though.

Dtoid friends, are you excited for the long weekend? Anyone planning something fun and/or interesting? I get anxious before & during holidays (long history of family fights), but I'll try to actually enjoy it this year. Pic unrelated

After a 120 hours, the Elden Ring content well has dried up for me, trophy hunting aside. All I have left now is the superboss and (pretty sure it's) the final boss. I feel like a pinball, bouncing between Hesitation is Defeat and Prepare to Die.

ER constantly pulls off this thing where you don't understand what random character is doing in a random place with a random boss in the other room, and then dozens of hours later the other shoe drops and damn, it all makes perfect sense.

Elden Ring is a funny game.

Wolf-riding archers can eat shit, but otherwise I'm starting to believe the reports of Elden Ring's late-game quality dips were wildly exaggerated. I recall people shitting over BB's endgame too because it was hard, guess it's a trend.

At first I thought that Elden Ring's lore was just another spin on Dark Souls. But I know realize the horrible truth.

What do you dislike about your favorite games/books/media, and what do you appreciate about your most hated ones?

After 70 hours in Elden Ring, I've reached Mt. Gelmir and feel very confident to roam the world, even strong. I can only imagine how stupidly hard the endgame will become, trying to keep up with how powerful you can become in a playthrough.

"We felt it would not be right for players to have to deal with one kind of poison. With super poison, they understand that we truly hate them and their loved ones. We also put super poison bosses, because fuck them and their pets." - Miyazaki, probably.

Are the Halo games rated M? Because I don't remember any of them, even Reach, being as violent as the TV show. The Covenant are scary, but I don't get why "sticky grenades make Grunts go boom" Halo is the franchise to go "War is Hell" with.

So, how do you approach making a build in Elden Ring? I usually focus on one damage stat and then HP and Stamina, it worked in BB but I'm getting my ass kicked in ER, focusing on STR, much like how DS3 kicked my ass when I went pure DEX. Tips appreciated.

Uh oh, looks like the sexbots are back to their sexbot-y ways.

So no FF16 release date, but there's a new Valkyrie Profile game and Returnal's getting free co-op and survival modes, so that's cool. Also, ExoPrimal looks terrible and I kinda want to play it because it's so tasteless.

Hey FromSoft, putting two of the same old boss in a room doesn't make a mediocre boss fight suddenly fun, just extra tedious. What's more, repeating a boss fight isn't fun when they kill you so many times you don't fight them just 3 times, but 30.

What?! All this, without a unique identifying token that requires blockchain tech?! How are they doing this?! I'm shocked, people, absolutely shocked! Must be some alternate universe.
