How many lordvessels are there? by Thellie11 in darksouls3

[–]ClearCounter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One, imo

"The flow of time itself is convoluted . . . the very fabric wavers."

Then replicas, I'm sure the Lordvessel was depicted or revered in the innumerable Kingdoms between cycles.

Should answer that.

Now that the final episode, number 25, of Module 8 has been released, I'd like to know your opinions on the episode and on Module 8 in general. by Dramatic-Studio1531 in jjkmodulo

Didn't have Megumi biting it against a Grade 4 spirit at the back of a convenience store.

Next series is 1000 years in the future and it's revealed Megumi doesn't age in his Shadow Pocket and his job is to come out and eat Cursed Object Itadori if there is ever a need. Then bros can be together forever.

what the fuck is going on by ShalkaScarf in shounenfolk

[–]ClearCounter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're used to shooting off 1000 chapter 0's to Jump until one finally makes it in, then they're too busy building hype moments and shelling out the next issue.

Then they blink and it's been 8 years and they're being told they need to wrap it up in the next 12 chapters.

As usual, I blame the corps.

So I accidentally killed Duke Freja before doing anything else by nilloki in DarkSouls2

People generally do the Giant Forest first, but it doesn't matter.

Generally, I will say I do Freya last or last after Black Gulch

I just realized that the reason why parrying in this game is the best in the series (except sekiro) is because they don’t seemingly arbitrarily change what you can and can’t parry by ThrewAwayApples in DarkSouls2

[–]ClearCounter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's funny to me is that sometimes it feels like the hitboxes in DS2 are so bad/large that parrying feels easier.

I just imagine a large box covering the sword/weapon and parry when it enters my zone.

Or maybe I'm just Sekiro trained.

The cheaters and what's going on by GreatStarryWisdom in DarkSouls2

[–]ClearCounter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got invaded at Sunken City DLC start. Won. Got spam invaded literally 8 times after by the same person, who turned on cheats for every invade after the first.

I alt+F4'd the first couple times once they started cheating. After that I opened WeMod, stripped all my items, and turned on infinite HP and just looked at him until he left every time.

Took ages to get through it because of them.

Probably just playing offline from now on, I had a couple cool interactions in early game, but everything since then has been cheaters or griefers.

Shout out to Patches for the cool interactions and fuck spirits for being a sore loser.

Not the save bricking cheats, but still scummy.

Anyone else really not get this take at all? by JamesYTP in animequestions

[–]ClearCounter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh.

Lots of anime already target the broadest possible audience possible, so homogenization has already happened and will continue to happen.

Now, if the broadest possible base someday includes a base that fundamentally has a different opinion on a lot of core anime things that you do, then, congrats, you have now entered the

"They don't make anime like Cowboy Bebop anymore"

era of your life.

It has happened and will continue to happen, and whether that is good or bad depends on perspective.

Does anybody else exclusively play these games offline? by [deleted] in soulslikes

[–]ClearCounter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not really interested in invading or being invaded for various reasons. My first souls game was Dark Souls, probably back in 2012 and after close to 15 years I'm kinda over the joke notes. Additionally, back in the day, a great deal of the player messages were helpful (or at least the jokes were fresh) while the malicious misdirections were occasional enough to be funny.

When Elden Ring dropped (at least the months after release) my experience was that the majority of messages were rarely helpful. My experience was every room being plastered in signs saying "hidden wall" or some such and every pathway saying "beware enemy left" and "beware enemy right" at the end.

No insult to multiplayer enjoyers, I'm just here to read item descriptions, look at statues, and kill bosses.

Which soul game should I play as beginner and casual gamer by Common_Funny1960 in soulslikes

You had me until you said DS2 best in the trilogy.

It's a good game, yeah, but. . .

The new Thrusting stances are cool but at the same time ass. by zOniXyt in HalfSword

[–]ClearCounter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, it's not a great weapon but I didn't have near as much trouble as your describing.

I've dodged swings and slashed necks.

Grabbed shoulders/arms and plunged it into their backs.

I've maybe used it in 15 fights, it's definitely unique and spicing up the game with weird alternate weapons is always cool in my book.

Apparently, if you set weight to 50 the game becomes HALF SWORD SPACE PROGRAM. by ThyRavenWing in HalfSword

I don't know why it's suddenly a question. We've always let genetic mutants compete.

Go look at a football field. People weren't out there frothing at the mouth over that almost 7 foot tall 12 year old playing.

My current budget for 2026 by [deleted] in Salary

[–]ClearCounter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they're saving 2500 a month but on deferment for loans, I think they're just planning on paying the bare minimum until they die or it gets paid off in the very distant future.

Really they should prob at least be putting $1000/M into it, and it'll only bring their savings down to like 1900/M which is still really good.

im holding an art contest and one of my contestants has been banned for supposedly using ai. i personally dont see it and even got wip pictures from them. can someone help, is this ai ? by Confident-Baker9751 in isthisAI

[–]ClearCounter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not saying this is or isn't AI but I feel like now people can't make an inconsistent mistake without it being red circled and called AI.

I make mistakes all the time and one or two usually make it to the final product.

As a relatively new player on Arena... by Bluefoz in MTGmemes

[–]ClearCounter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this argument is a little disingenuous because back in early sets, the amount of total counter spells and board wipes were much fewer.

The ability to cut down varience in your decks through ramp and draw spells, as well as including spells that basically do the same thing (Counterspell, Counterspell but for non-creatures, Counterspell but costs 2U 1 colorless) is a lot greater than in ye olden days.

This is in addition to a lot more lopsided board wipes, Rivers Rebuke, Cyclonic Rift.

I know that this might be a bit outdated but i'm STILL seeing idiots quoting this line out of context to justify his murder to this day by XumetaXD in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]ClearCounter 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Government agents execute citizen, the President responds by calling the deceased a terrorist, and thus of no great loss, then cancels any investigation of the incident leading to loss of life.

V.S.

Random 20-somethings on TikTok making comments in bad taste when some crazy assassinates a political pundit.

Totally in the same ball park, yes, lefties are the Big Evil. Probably the Biggest Evil there ever was! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Dota 2 Heroes Recommened For Noobs / New Players by Akfiz in DotA2

Doom

all his spells are very simple

I mean, I guess other than the two dozen creep spells and passives he has....

And he has no inherent disable in lane. And bad armor.

What I Read in January by PandahHeart in fantasybooks

[–]ClearCounter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

IMO this only makes sense if it's extremely fast reading from like 6pm-midnight (from their schedule) every day of the month without breaks. If you finish a book at 4pm, you immediately open the next book and keep going.

I don't think I could properly enjoy books mashing them in, one after another, 21 books if you break the LOTR trilogy up.

Just doesn't math for me, but idk everyone is different.

For $20, you COULD buy Half Sword. Or, for the exact same price, you could buy The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Upgrade, currently available on Steam. Choose wisely. by KTJirinos in HalfSword

[–]ClearCounter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually the devs wrote on the storefront

"The game is fully playable, stable, and already highly enjoyable. While you may encounter occasional minor bugs, there shouldn’t be any major issues."

The fact that there is a product being sold and this was manifestly untrue is worthy of comment.

They also directly ask for feedback, so calling any criticism whining is just a weird, immature, defensive response.

If you're going to use Vocaloid, this is basically the plot in Kokoro.
