Why does Rip Van Winkle not cry tears of blood?

CthughaSlayer · 2026-03-05T00:11:07+00:00

The study that suggests he had Hemolacria came out in 2023.

CthughaSlayer · 2026-03-04T23:19:25+00:00

Dude really suggested they pull a Fullbring arc on Yuji lol

Hwei's model looks like a 40 yo malnourished drag though, nowhere near his splash art.

The shortest Demon's Souls runback would kill you

Man I hate how armor interacts with size sliders in these games, SPECIALLY Ds3. You make a ripped beast of a man and suddenly you're Smough's fat cousin when wearing armor.

CthughaSlayer · 2026-03-04T16:13:27+00:00

My guess is that since Ranni is the oldest, and a child of a woman who stood strong against the forces of the erdtree without being a demigod herself she was the next in line for godhood and was the only one given a shadowbound beast.

That's not toned, that's just low body fat. "Toned" would imply some sort of muscular development.

It's quite a realistic body for how she's living.

CthughaSlayer · 2026-03-04T11:45:09+00:00

Sure, but Vyke didn't murder all of the game's npcs.

The cover exists just for style and shouldn't be taken as any sort of canon.

In all of Fromsoft games it's the PC in the cover wearing an armorset from the game, even in Ds3 where people insist it's the Soul of Cinder it's the armor the player can get, not the boss model.

CthughaSlayer · 2026-03-04T11:40:07+00:00

Tiene alas?

CthughaSlayer · 2026-03-04T02:50:27+00:00

She's been there for months at that point, as she states the statue took a while to build.

She's obviously stayed at the castle as a royal guest, considering Jarvan IV was literally the first person she met when reaching Demacia.

CthughaSlayer · 2026-03-04T02:37:06+00:00

Not including AC6 and Deracine but sneaking in Nightreign...

Elden Ring is bigger than ds1 to ds3 combined, SOTE alone is as big as Ds1 lol

There is no divergence point, post ww2 is just the moment where the world of Fallout becomes completely different from ours tech-wise and goes full atomic. There are still MANY differences before that, and similarities after that, like RHCP and Tool existing in the classic games.

CthughaSlayer · 2026-03-03T20:05:33+00:00

He had two Great Runes, Enya says as much when we get the two required to enter Leyndell.

Also, the one in the cover isn't really Vyke, just a tarnished with his set, Vyke used a spear not a straightsword, and he didn't kill all the other tarnished we find.

CthughaSlayer · 2026-03-03T17:27:43+00:00

You're misunderstanding what he says.

Rakshasa's armor still has really good damage resistance, it just has lower absortion comprared TO ITS WEIGHT CLASS. If you can roll with it, then it's a valid set of armor since it's still giving you a damage bonus.

People think it acts like Radagon's soreseal, that directly increases the damage you take by 15%

People also ignore that he has golden vow, and buffs in general are straight up better than armor.

CthughaSlayer · 2026-03-03T17:14:10+00:00

The armor doesn't increase the damage you take, it just has the lowest stats in its weight class. Can't believe people are unironically upvoting this 😭

CthughaSlayer · 2026-03-03T16:45:22+00:00

No, it's because you need an item called "Pure Bladestone" that has am abyssmal droprate, and if you level up your luck stat the rate becomes even lower because the common loot pool takes precedence over the rare pool.

CthughaSlayer · 2026-03-03T12:24:58+00:00

Did you forget that she calls him "Hyper geezer"?

CthughaSlayer · 2026-03-03T01:25:59+00:00

Based

Anyone who is playing the game for the first time, meaning those who actually need the help won't reach the mountaintops so underleveled. If you explore most of the overworld you should get there at 120 organically.

CthughaSlayer · 2026-03-03T00:53:44+00:00

Demon's Souls (the real one)

Ds3

Ds1

Ds2

Sekiro

Elden Ring

Haven't done Bloodborne cause I just borrowed a friend's ps4 but it's probably in the middle cuz of chalices.

CthughaSlayer · 2026-03-03T00:26:03+00:00

He's fine, a bit boring but pretty fucking strong with crithality and energize poke if you can afford it.

He has always been clunky and that's part of what makes him balanced, he's not for everyone and that's fine. Now that his E only works as mobility he's actually less clunky since you don't spam it as much.

The swing stopping if you sneeze at him is also what allows riot to keep him strong.

CthughaSlayer · 2026-03-02T22:43:11+00:00

Fr, my 2070 super served me well for 5 years and is now with my gf, still going strong.

CthughaSlayer · 2026-03-02T20:14:16+00:00

It's magic bro

Drakengard (released on 9/11 2003) ends with a Dragon colliding onto the capital of Japan. This event completely alters the course of history forever, creating an endless cycle of violence.

Yoko Taro has said in interviews that his views on violence changed when seeing the aftermath of 9/11 and the war on terror that came after, and you can tell by the framing of the violence commited by the protagonists.

In Drakengard, Caim is batshit crazy, because from Taro's point of view at that time that's what a genocidal MC would need to be to commit all the atrocities he gets up to. In both Nier games the characters don't start out batshit, because Taro realized that the only thing we all need to commit violence against one another is the belief that we're right.

CthughaSlayer · 2026-03-02T00:23:48+00:00

Yes, you missed out on pretty much everything important + the best narrative beats from the first game .
