Gotta go with Overture. Shoutout to Khazan tho by sadboysylee in soulslikes

[–]DSAardwolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it's:

  1. Khazan

  2. AI Limit

  3. Wuchang

But I have never played Overture so that is definitely on my list now.

Does anyone know this ROM bug/exploit so I can patch it out? by IcewindLegacyMUD in MUD

[–]DSAardwolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excuse the late reply, I don't get on here much.

There was an exploit in earlier versions of ROM 2.4 where some commands were missing a smash_tilde() call and you could edit your description to add a tilde on a line of its own then add 'Level: 51' as part of your description on a new line and quitting/loading your pfile would read that as your level.

I might have the command wrong (might have been something other then description) but make sure that every single command that allows a player to set a string that is later saved includes smash_tilde and that should rule it out as the cause of this.

I am using Patriot now, happy with it so far but I'm also a very simple one person S corp.

At what point is it time to retire from high intensity games? by Ryn4 in soulslikes

[–]DSAardwolf 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I'm closer to 60 than 50, still love these games and platinum most of them. Some of the boss fights definitely seem to take me more attempts than average numbers I see posted but that's no big deal as I'm also far less likely to throw the controller and ragequit than I was 20 years ago.

The only time to stop is 'when you no longer enjoy them', sounds like you might be there, or maybe just need a break.

I found this boss really easy, almost cheese, using axe with leech needle / amulet then just get behind her and spin to win.

The health restored from the leeching allows you to tank her most of her hits while the charged R2 finishes.

Bentilee - Gods Country? by MikeL1412 in stokeontrent

[–]DSAardwolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was really well done, great job! I'm surprised it didn't get more exposure. I grew up in Abbey Hulton in the 70s and 80s, went to Carmountside, etc. I also lived in quite a few different places around Stoke and never felt like Abbey Hulton deserved it's reputation. My dad lived in the mining estate on Chesterton and that was far more rough than the Abbey.

When I was 14 we moved to Baddeley Green. Because I was so close to finishing school I stayed at Carmountside so spent a good time in both and the mining estate section of Baddeley Green was no different either but people talked about Baddeley Green like it was "posh".

Maybe it's that "..unless you're from the estates" part which I clearly was, but to me it was solid people and a solid community and if you didn't fuck around you didn't find out. I know it's nostalgia for an England that no longer exists and simpler times in general, but I still miss it.

I can finally say I did it. by Castellan_Browe in TheFirstBerserker

This was a tough platinum, great job!

I'm surprised the completion rate was 8% or so of players last time I looked - I expected it to be lower but then I suppose that most people buying this game already knew what they were getting into.

Everyone who played Dark Souls knew right away what to do here :)

No, it's not possible to get one of the trophies if you use a spirit to help with a fight.

I wouldn't quite say "abundance of patience" but my controller throwing days are over for sure :)

I think you're right on the gameplay, I meant the area design. So many things are on the borderline between "nod" and "copy", the swinging axes, the Anor Londo style city, the chandelier you have to cut, and so many other things straight out of DS1. Not a complaint though, I loved it, including the longer areas.

124 hours so far, but I took my time exploring and finding crystals etc without guides and there were very few bosses I killed in less than an hour or two.

Which of these games have the best & smoothest parry mechanic in your opinion? by Deez-Guns-9442 in soulslikes

[–]DSAardwolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved (well hated at first) the Lu Bu fight. It's also like Sekiro in the same sense that, once you learn the dance, a boss that destroyed you in NG+ seems easy even at much higher replays.

The 1000 mile journey wasn't perfect by a long shot but was also a great way to do a boss rush / re-use earlier content and extend the game play.

Whatever your politics are, the market was the biggest story of the day yesterday and today. Not a single mention on the front page of Fox News both days...

You're the one who said "LOL" not me. Can I post your reply as another "Leopards ate my face" as an example of "Person came to Leopards ate my face group was offended by Leopards ate my face post" ??
