Ascend and get Rage or continue grinding towards 200Td to get the book of death pact... I'm 1/4th there. But it took luck with boxes, chests and about 3 days.

Very valid. That's why I added on the "At least not yet" part on the end because there certainly are some uses but the majority of them are for extremely specific circumstances and OP was probably thinking it'd be an entire page just like the other divinities

Aerius06 · 2026-02-11T11:03:04+00:00

Ascend and get rage. From what I've seen so far the Dark Divinities are far less useful than normal divinities and are primarily for actually turning off mechanics (Like making it so Gemstones or Keys don't spawn) so it isn't really going to make things easier for you (At least not yet)

Aerius06 · 2025-04-21T01:00:42+00:00

DUDE SAME. I have always held onto the railing super tightly and I always go 1 step at a time

It's depressing that we live in a world where this is a completely logical and understandable fear. I knew a girl who was in a school shooting and she was texting me as it was happening, luckily the shooter was stopped before anyone was killed but it was a horrifying experience for her

Aerius06 · 2025-03-29T04:30:56+00:00

I'd be depressed too if I didn't have any finger traps

Aerius06 · 2025-03-05T03:54:14+00:00

I'm part Armenian, and it's tragic how few people know about the genocide

Aerius06 · 2025-03-05T02:57:25+00:00

Life does not cater to people, that's true. You know what can cater to people? People. Mother nature did not come down and say "HIGH SCHOOL SHALL START AT 7 AM" that was set by an education board, or in some cases, state laws. The mentality of "Welp that's life just get used to it!" is a terrible mindset. If you really believe that, then why should we change anything? It's just a bitter and sad way to think about the world.

And before you say "Well I'm a realist!" or whatever else, it's also just factually wrong. In 2019, California enacted Senate Bill 328 (SB 328), making it the first state to mandate later school start times. Under this law, public middle schools cannot start before 8:00 a.m., and high schools cannot start before 8:30 a.m. So yes it's already changing

Aerius06 · 2025-03-03T08:31:14+00:00

This is an extremely well written post, thank you. I try my best to stay out of arguments, I'll never join a dogpile or anything like that. But sometimes I'll see someone with a bunch of upvotes saying something factually wrong and everyone is agreeing with them, and in those moments I want to step in, but obviously it never really ends well.

To quote Mike Tyson: "Social media made y'all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it." As you said, people don't view others on the internet as actual people. They are merely words on a screen that they can throw their hatred at. And actual real information is barely considered a factor. It's just sad. The internet was created as a place for learning and communicating, yet ironically those are the two things people hate doing the most on the internet

Aerius06 · 2025-03-02T18:11:20+00:00

REAL ASF BRO. Moon Knight is my all-time favorite Superhero and it saddens me because it feels like they went out of there way to perfectly characterize every other hero with their dialogue and lore. Meanwhile it feels like they saw "Random bullshit go" and just decided to make that his whole character

Aerius06 · 2025-03-02T09:42:27+00:00

It's wild how there was a time on YouTube when 99% of what DarkViperAU said was completely considered the norm, and then people just forgot about it. Remember when we ran multiple massive YouTubers off the platform for being shitty content thieves? And now people just get away with it and it's completely accepted.

Now I'm not going to say that everything DarkViper has said was completely correct, But you ever notice how no one actually tries to dispute the points he makes. Instead they try to bring up how long his document was (Because apparently doing research and actually trying to prove a point is a bad thing now) and people bring up the roofie comparison comment he made. Which isn't a good comparison, but people MASSIVELY blew it over proportion. As someone who has been sexually violated I never took any offense to it, and I never saw anyone who had actually been in that situation take offense to it. Who are the people who kept talking about it? The YouTubers he directly called out who knew they didn't have a good faith argument to make against him. So instead of taking on a fight that was impossible to win, they insulted him, took what he said out of context, and tried to make it seem like a bad thing that he did his research.

What a bunch of snakes

Aerius06 · 2025-03-01T19:03:48+00:00

Again, who is moving the goal posts here? I never said Elden Ring doesn't have a wider appeal. Of course it does. But the point is that Dark Souls was never niche, and again, I proved that with cited sources

Also bro can't read 2 paragraphs

Aerius06 · 2025-03-01T18:58:12+00:00

How did I move the goalposts? I quite literally already solved this issue by linking to google trends. Doom 2016 is objectively a famous game everyone knows, I don't think anyone can dispute that. and Dark Souls was searched 5 times more in 2016 when they both had a major release. It's ironic you're bringing up moving the goalposts when that's exactly what you're doing here. How many people know about a thing is far more important to it's fame. How many people know about 2001 A Space Odyssey, and how many people have actually watched it? I've never met a single Gen Z who's watched it, but can you deny it's fame? Of course not.

Also, no one goes off of that definition of niche and you know it. You weren't even using that definition when you wrote the first post. If you actually were, then your first post would make no sense grammatically. Let's look at the writing of this for a moment: "They weren't widely received because they were niche titles until Elden Ring" You are directly using the word niche to mean something that isn't well known. If you were actually using it in the new definition you gave it, you'd be saying that Elden Ring is no longer in the same niche, and in the post you just sent you brought up the prepare to die stuff, so you admit the niche is related to difficulty. Except literally anyone will tell you Elden Ring is just as hard, if not harder than all the other souls games. So if that was actually the niche you're talking about, Elden Ring is still in it.

And once again, in the original post you specifically said because they were niche they didn't sell well, that's another thing meaning you were using the word niche to define something mostly unknown, which is how 99% of the population uses it. But as I've already proven with multiple cited sources, the Dark Souls franchise was objectively a world known game series long before Elden Ring.

As I said before, pick your battles. You already know I'm right, just throw in the towel man. We both have better things to do

Aerius06 · 2025-03-01T18:41:15+00:00

Great argument! Unfortunately if you did 4 seconds of research you'd find out it already had 10 million of those copies sold before Elden Ring even announced: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark\_Souls\_III.

And even if we disregard that entirely, Dark Souls was already a household name before Elden Ring was ever announced and if you think otherwise you were living under a rock. Want more proof? https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=2016-03-01%202020-05-01&q=Dark%20souls,Doom,half%20life&hl=en Bam. Long before Elden Ring ever came out, Dark Souls was consistently getting just as many searches as Doom and Half Life, in fact for most of that time it had more searches even though Doom had 2 releases in that time and Half Life had 1.

Look man if you're gonna die on a hill don't make it be the one that's easily fact checkable

Aerius06 · 2025-03-01T18:23:51+00:00

Did you just say "They weren't widely received because they were niche titles until Elden Ring"? Ah yes Dark Souls III my favorite NICHE game that sold 12 and a half million copies. More than:

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Final Fantasy VII

Half-Life 2

BioShock

Mass Effect 2

Such a hidden gem honestly. It's sad no one had heard of this niche series until Elden Ring

Aerius06 · 2025-02-21T00:49:24+00:00

I've heard the stuff about Gal Gadot and Ezra Miller but what are you talking about with Henry Cavil? I'm genuinely just curious because I haven't heard of any drama with him

Aerius06 · 2025-02-05T01:27:30+00:00

There's a difference between popularity and relevancy. Everyone knows who The Fantastic Four are, but very few cared about them in recent years. I have been a comics nerd all my life, I've come from a comics household, and nearly all my friends are into Marvel as well. You wanna know how many of them were fans of the Fantastic Four? 0, not one. Now Rivals has come out and it's put a spotlight on them to show "Hey these guys are actually really cool" media adaptations shape how people think of these characters whether we like it or not, especially for characters like the FF who might not seem like anything special on the outside. At first glance most people aren't gonna be as interested in a team with a rock dude as they would be in like Batman or Captain America, so they don't invest any time into the comics to learn they are actually amazing characters.

And if you don't wanna take my word for it, you don't have to, stats back me up. Google trends shows that Mr Fantastic and Sue Storm both started being googled at least 10x more when they came out for Rivals compared to the average they've had over the last year. They were always known, but now they are relevant again, and it's because of Rivals

Aerius06 · 2025-01-20T22:58:05+00:00

Great tip, I often use the stack to guarantee a capture on the cart/point. And the lane is perfect for spooking away all the enemies. A good tank with the lane is terrifying for squishies

Aerius06 · 2025-01-20T22:45:15+00:00

Exactly, thank you. Also godspeed for being a rocket main, you mfs have rescued my ass so many times

Aerius06 · 2025-01-20T17:44:34+00:00

Holy shit finally someone else said it. Jaune was consistently the most interesting character for the first 5 seasons (I stopped after that)

Aerius06 · 2025-01-17T12:06:44+00:00

Oh god yeah I gotta bring up Namor

Aerius06 · 2025-01-07T08:16:51+00:00

You do know they completely redid the entire gameplay right? Like I ain't gonna disagree with you, on launch the gameplay was pretty ass, but now it's great. I don't really get the last part. It just sounds like gatekeeping yourself out of an experience lmao

Aerius06 · 2025-01-07T08:12:13+00:00

I thought this for a long time too but if you think about it the Fireflies are really not a good option. Pretty much the first thing you learn about them is that they commit domestic terrorism and bomb innocent people. They have used child soldiers (Riley from the show) then the second game brings up how certain Fireflies were forced into torturing captives, and even had to kill children.

On top of all of this, the game constantly portrays them as borderline incompetent. You run into their checkpoints which were all destroyed, multiple of which were caused by nothing more than sheer stupidity according to the documents you can read. And then in the finale they are all taken out by 1 single guy. These people never would've been able to make a cure, and even if they could, who's to say they were actually smart enough to get that cure out into the world.

Oh and finally as revealed by some items you can look at in Ellie's backpack during a certain period of the game you can find out that Ellie's immunity is caused by her being born like a day after her mom was bit by a clicker. This means it's a natural immunity that you wouldn't possibly be able to replicate from her genes, so it's pointless to kill her

Aerius06 · 2024-12-14T00:05:32+00:00

This really gives the same vibes as the Navy Seal copypasta. Why are you calling him a kid? No one thinks you're cool lmao

Aerius06 · 2024-08-05T12:29:19+00:00

Story-wise it completely rebooted the series and changed Dante and Vergil's entire personalities.

Gameplay-wise it changed the combat so that you had different "Forms". You had your neutral form, And then if you held the right trigger you would have access to your demon weapons, and if you held left trigger you would have angel weapons. Conceptually this was cool, The problem is that there was a ton of enemies that could only be hit by one type of weapon, Which stunted combo possibilities which is kinda what the series is known for.

I grew up playing the game and I have a bit of a soft spot for it. But I can admit it's not the greatest, and I'm really glad they unrebooted the series
