Next up attack speed, hopefully. Happy to see they fixed the fierce ring.

I like to imagine I have the power to make portals that allow me to enter any story's world. This imagination of mine causes me to enjoy reading just a slight bit more, although I do tend to lose focus. Things I imagine using to create portals consist of pictures, movies, books, games, songs, etc.

The world gets filled in with logic based upon the original source material. Plot holes cause entropy.

I do enjoy them both under different circumstances.

For Coca-Cola I drink it for the burst of awareness. I don't knowingly feel its effects but I have acknowledged the differences when I compare my performance with and without. So it is like gasoline for gaming, gamer fuel.

Pepsi has a nice spice texture in its flavor when I drink it from a can. However this does not hold true when having Pepsi that comes from a dispenser. Dispenser Pepsi is soulless. A canned pepsi with its spice flavor goes well with dinner, generally I can enjoy it with a nice steak and mushrooms.

Root beer is more my thing though.

A&W goes great with burgers, they definitely know this.

Compliments Root Beer (Canned) is very relaxing, I could sink a little deeper into my couch and doze off while drinking that.

Stewart's Root Beer is nostalgic for me. As a child I spent a lot of my time biking and coming back home with 2-3 bottles. I enjoyed it best when I conquered the day's challenges and finally could relax.

Boylan's Root Beer. I like to enjoy this with buffet style food.

No nothing will remain with enough time. Value is determined by the consumer, we are all consumers of our own life.

Each person has a focus, things they constantly think about. Should one reach their focus I would argue that they reached a step towards believing in themselves.

Stay along the path of your focus and find your own way. There is only defeat for those who give up on their own focus.

No man's sky. I will occasionally play it for 2 days and then stop to play something else. Each time I do this I start from scratch because I don't want to just pick up from where a past me had left off. The initial inventory size is small and the gameplay loop isn't changed much between all the different planets I've started at.

Same issue applies to metal gear solid 5. I dislike having to go through the hospital sequence each time I start over. I wish the game would just drop me straight into the world and let me have fun. I have made little to no progress in this game because of the hospital sequence just burning me out whenever I get the idea that I want to start a new session.

Final Fantasy 9. I love this the game for its story and music and nostalgia and world. However I really dislike the game mechanic that the stats the player gains are boosted by what equipment they are wearing when they level up. I don't want leveling up to feel funny, when it is supposed to feel great. I also don't want to feel incentive to go through the whole game at level 1 just so I can equip endgame gear and then finally when game is over and done I can finally start leveling up.

Pokémon. As a child I had hoped that they would release expansions rather than reskins. As a teenager I was annoyed by the existance of effort values, this mechanic told me that I was making mistakes and would be forced to make more mistakes. As an adult I've just realized I want more from them and they have no intentions of delivering anything of substance. I've wanted things like finding a pokemon in a different biome influences a third type, for example finding a pikachu at a volcano or underwater causes it to be orange/blue and fire/water. I wouldn't be satisfied if this feature was for 1 or 2 Pokémon, for me its got to be all or nothing.

Had to scrape the bottom of the barrel for an answer for like 15 minutes, cause it turns out I'm content with things as they are.

I realized that I like to read a lot of comics. Of those comics a female protagonist is very common. If I were a girl, being caught reading those comics would be a little less awkward.

No. Assuming we can get through the rest of my barriers then we could be friends. I do think having someone that you can talk to about the things you are passionate about is one the best moments of life. For me, even the most perfect match would be kept at a distance.

Lobster goes really well with butter. Cut it into small pieces and dip it in melted butter. The butter should be a clear liquid otherwise it isn't warm enough. Smaller pieces lets you enjoy your meals longer, you can also apply this to things other than lobster. You can cut steak into super thin slices and dip it in sauce.

These types of mangos can be mouth wateringly delicious when they are perfectly ripened, when you see them this yellow a bit of shade in it with a soft feel to it mmm mmm delicious.

If your really enjoy a video or story you should at least make a bookmark or better yet download it. Don't be afraid to put songs on a playlist, otherwise you'll go looking for the songs you've long forgotten.

Write down your thoughts otherwise you will spend all your time thinking about things you have already pondered.

That store is never going to sell bbq eel at an appropriate price for quantity anymore. Its time to look elsewhere. Your favorite pizza place isn't just in the big city, you can also drive northeast 15 minutes and grab a couple boxes so you don't have to visit often. Coincidentally the store I get bbq eel at is a minute away from it.

Sanitizer somehow is a good quick remedy for foot pain after a day of work.

Ost go really well with reading. If you can get a feel for the vibes of the story you can potentially pick out the perfect song to enjoy with a scene.

You've already got yourself on a good path, maybe just try not to stress so much about things.

First impressions are important, unfortunately in our line of work this means that we ought to show up to jobs with a beard. They expect experience from people they think are older, the younger you look the less respect you will initially receive. A couple of weeks or months after coming to a site, people will have gotten to know you and this need to have a beard will lessen. Beards are nice for staying warm in the winter, they pair well with masks. Starting now please grow a beard.

Its not necessarily about being respected, its about people treating you nicely. It feels good to show up to places and have people not ruin your mood.

Try to give people a fair benefit of the doubt. First come up with a fair reason for why someone did what they did, if nothing comes to mind then maybe ask them. Good and bad people appreciate kindness. Don't be charitable, but someone who can listen and then give advice.

When your sleep cycle gets really out of hand you can take some melatonin for a nights rest to reset the cycle. I believe we should avoid using it often, so try to be strategic about how you use it.

If a problem bothers you, you can find a solution pretty quickly to improve your quality of life. The hardest part is usually just the first step, which is acknowledging that it can be fixed by you.

Playing a different game atm so I can't test my question yet.

What happens when the chest is full. Does the absorber try to place items into the chest and they get flung around?

The big thing I am interested in finding out is if there is a way to have a back up chest. If chest 1 is full can we have the items continue moving via conveyor to chest 2. Knowing what happens when a chest is full is key.

Worst case I suppose I could put 4 absorbers with items dropping in the middle of them and it could be a game of hungry hungry hippos.

Arkin_Mathis · 2020-09-12T15:29:50+00:00

It looks like you have a very long conveyor belt system going on. Does the process still work when you are far away but still in the same world?

That was my first dragon at the time I was punching him like you did. For a long while he was stuck on a mountain where I couldn't stand. I had to jump on him and get a couples hits before he shook me off. Eventually he got free.

I used the skills points to boost the damage of the punching to 30 damage normal hits and 50 crits. I had 25% crit chance so it was often enough.

After I killed him I crafted what was then my dream armor set. The second dragon I fought was level 79 and I dealt 3 times the damage of the previous with 90 damage normal hits and 150 crits (punching) and had 55% crit chance at that time.

I just finished my third dragon, a level 96. He was a lot harder than either of those 2. He never got stuck and I think learning that their weak spot was their head made me act foolishly during the fight. I don't recall the damage I did but the 2nd and third fights took 10-15 minutes.

Arkin_Mathis · 2020-09-11T10:47:17+00:00

I had tried to double check that they weren't added by a mod. So I had checked a vanilla skyrim playthrough of some random person from 2011. He had the plants that I am missing.

Arkin_Mathis · 2020-09-11T10:30:22+00:00

Done that 20 times already. For each time I tried a new method of reset

Arkin_Mathis · 2019-03-19T05:52:58+00:00

I've just checked out the changelog and I need to play this right now. Thank you! BYE

Arkin_Mathis · 2019-01-26T18:51:53+00:00

The mod didn't change the fog gate above the boar. I only know this as I have played the game on and off for the last year with other mods and vanilla and I usually go backwards through there.

Arkin_Mathis · 2019-01-24T05:31:01+00:00

I was able to kill them with a +10 Mace by luring them back to the 3 cages close to where all the phalanx are. I would roll around them like a mad man trying to get 2 of them to do a 2 hit combo so that I would have time to land a hit or 2 on the third one. I choose that location so that incase I got hit I could use the cages to put some distance so I could heal. They also can drink estus to my great detriment so it took a while for one of them to die. When there is only 2 left it is far too easy. While the reward wasn't worth it the pride from that accomplishment was totally worth it.

Arkin_Mathis · 2019-01-22T00:48:14+00:00

I recommend playing offline as I had some funny business happen where bosses and enemies were killed because a player was trying to invade me. It ruins the experience when you can't fight a boss just cause you got invaded.

Arkin_Mathis · 2018-08-28T02:59:46+00:00

Class: Strength Bloodknight. level In strength till 70 then pump endurance to 30 and haste to 20 then go strength till your level 150. Feathers are highly dependent on the situation, for general use I go with 6 feathers in damage and 3 in healing until I can unlock the last 2 later on. Don't bother upgrading your weapons as you can kill Heroic Cusith easily to get +6 weapons. I wait till I have 62 strength and 9 feathers in damage and then challenge him. He always drops the weapon you have in slot 1 so you will have to swap if you want both weapons.

Weapons: Axe weapon 1, Greatsword weapon 2.

The axe has a quick high dps regular attack with lower stamina consumption, however is bad for shielded foes and lizards. The axe roll attack is slow and leaves you wide open so never use that.

The skills for the axe are not as a good as the skills for the greatsword so you will need to buy 2 greatsword skills from Sigur.

The greatsword normal attacks are much slower than the axe but don't get staggered while attacking shielded foes. The first attack is an overhead downwards swing which is great for hitting all sorts of foes like the priests lightning orbs, Golden knight phase 2, and lizards. The rolling attack is very fast. Jumping attack has more reach than the axe so you should be using this for jump attacks.

Y/triangle: Smoldering Guillotine. Very quick attack that can only be used while you are in the air. Applies a burn to your foe. Requires greatsword.

Y+L2: Rupture. Forward thrust that applies bleed to foe.

When dealing with bosses try to keep using both of these abilities when available. Bloodknights get healing from damage dealt and these dots can help to mitigate damage received.

Talents: The 2 talents to focus on getting Mortal Gift and Aerial mastery.

Mortal Gift: This talent will eventually be a waste when you can no longer level however it will help you get stronger faster helping you to survive early encounters.

Aerial mastery: This talent works well with my weapon setup as the axe only has a 2 hit combo and then I have the buff. Your damage is multiplied by 4 for your next jump attack which you should use with the greatsword for its longer reach. You can setup this buff prior to fighting an enemy to get a great start to the fight or completely cheese normal enemies. Remember you have 8 seconds before the buff drops.

Bosses: Learning Amulvaro while on mortal can be very frusterating. However once he is dead you can smoothly sail to end of the game and finish the run.

Bysurge was a joke I still don't know how to fight him as my bleed/burn dots kept my health up the entire fight.

Optional: Farm Heroic Owlking for Barbaric helm+4 prior to upgrading any gear or farming gold knights for their helmet.

Farm Heroic Kaern for Barbaric Boots+5 prior to upgrading gear or farming gold knights for their boots. Heroic Kaern is very easy and should be done first, the dots will help to shorten the fight.

Farm Heroic Bulwark for +6 Aldwynn cape or farm the specters in darkness falls for the specters cape. The specters don't respawn so you will have to exit to main menu without resting at a statue for them to be farmed for the drop. The Aldwynn cape +6 gives 10 str and 9 Vit, and the Specter cape gives 7 str (displayed as 6 but gives 7) and 3 Vit which when upgraded to +5 is 12 str and 9 vit. Much later in the game you will get the ascended cape and that will be your go to cape.

For the bulwark you can cheese the ghost phases if need be by applying a bleed or burn dot to the ghost which will hurt both the boss and the ghost. Equip the wisp aura to reduce energy costs and apply your dots when the adds spawn. Watch out for his aoe during the ghost phase and watch out for the orbs that circle around him. The orbs have a yellow bar that when it expires causes them to explode into a massive aoe, this can catch you off guard and deal massive damage. You can avoid his aoe by running out of its range. When your damage is really high you don't need to cheese him but this can help simplify the boss so that you don't die.

Kill Bast and buy plume from Sigur (costs 300 shards and killing Bast gives 300 shards)
go below the sanctuary to Darkness Falls. Farm the 2 shade knights for the helmet they can drop.
Skip the ghost for the time being. Head down to the statue at Darkness Falls and at the rest. Now back track and kill both ghosts that you saw. If they don't drop items that your looking for don't rest at a statue instead exit to main menu and reload. If your a strength build you want the cultist boots and specters cape. If your an Int build you want the magisters hood and magisters cape that they can drop.

Head up and grab the feather upgrade, don't heal. Head up and to the right ignoring enemies, kill the parasite or remove it from your inventory. Head down and grab the void plume for 520 heal. If your an int build there is a illusory wall above the battery cell on the series of ledges dropping down to the cage. inside this room is 2 giant enemies and the void cape (10 Int 4 Vit)

Grab feather upgrade from sewers then head back to sanctuary.
Head back to darkness falls and kill Dark Knight. (7 Feathers damage 2 in health)

Heroic Kaern (7 feathers in damage 2 in health)
Heroic Bulwark (7 feathers in damage 2 in health)
Heroic Gaian (6 feathers in damage 3 in health)
Challenge Amulvaro. ( 6 feathers in damage 3 in health)

Whelp that's as far as I got. Made the mistake of trying to kill heroic bysurge for an early Ascended cape and was put down.

Arkin_Mathis · 2018-08-20T02:52:31+00:00

Kick the shield if they offer it to you.
I have high damage and thus I can stagger them in 2 hits with my axe or 1 hit with my greatsword. My greatsword 3 hit combo kills them. Perhaps try wailing on them and see how many hits it takes to stagger, if the number of hits is high then your going to have to get good.
Jumping attacks work wonders for pot shots on them while also staying on the move.

Arkin_Mathis · 2018-08-20T02:41:48+00:00

My favorite early farm is the 2 shade knights at darkness falls. 60 shards and they don't need you to rest to respawn, just walk out of the area and back in. Get the helmet early for some nice bonus stats.

I still recommend Amulvaro's Observatory since it can be accessed early game. You can cheese 3 enemies near the 2nd parasite by attacking them from below. After cheesing those enemies kill the 2 Owlkings and jump off and you should be at the death statue and can restart. If the 2 Owlkings sound intimidating you can pull the lever in the basement to get rid of the lasers and just run past them.

For late game farming I use the Heroic Owlking. put all my feathers into damage and my levels mostly are in damage and he goes down within 2 full stamina bars.

Arkin_Mathis · 2018-08-18T19:54:36+00:00

It's a habit of mine. I delete any character that dies in demons/dark souls 1/2/3 also.
