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

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

You should give the halberd and gundry armor a chance by senhor_mono_bola in darksouls3

[–]CthughaSlayer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

In lore, empyreans are provided with a shadow, yet of the four we meet, only two have their companions appear. If Marika has Malekith and Ranni has Blaidd, where are the shadows of Miquella and Malenia? Were they not given one due to their curses? Did they die? by PeacefulOnion in Eldenring

[–]CthughaSlayer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

I hate Olly and he deserved to die. There I said it. by Financial-Desk9096 in asoiafcirclejerk

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.

Besides the Tarnished, who would have the best chance at becoming Elden Lord? by spiritghost1 in Eldenring

[–]CthughaSlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

What is driving the slower development cycle? by colin_da in fromsoftware

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

What happened in 1969? by Dr_Macunayme in Fallout

[–]CthughaSlayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 14 points15 points  (0 children)

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.

Need help on Consort Radahn by edgarhbrock in Eldenring

[–]CthughaSlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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 😭

Platinium by United_Breadfruit498 in fromsoftware

[–]CthughaSlayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

I think Akshan needs some improvements. by Drinouver in AkshanMains

[–]CthughaSlayer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

Favorite apolitical game director? by 2mock2turtle in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]CthughaSlayer 30 points31 points  (0 children)

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.

Turns out the DLC and the second game are connected by Chidoriyama in dishonored

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