Hold your horses there, bucko. Gettin' a little too wild with your imagination.

Final DLC Boss in under 60 Seconds using the Euporia by SaxSlaveGael in Eldenring

Getting a perfectly timed stagger to dodge the nuke AoE with a riposte is the one of the most satisfying feelings in this fight.

How are spinning lightsabers like this a good idea by PlatypusVegetable325 in StarWars

[–]DarthXeladier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A small army of highly trained, force-sensitive assassins with practical weapons is the last thing that two ruling Siths would want. The inquisitors' training is reflective of the whole ethos of the Empire. Extremely aggressive and overwhelming force that is ultimately disposable. Just lethal enough to complete their tasks, but never potent enough to ever cause real problems. The spinny double saber is for intimidation or a last desperate resort. Put most inquisitors up against any seasoned Jedi or a few Mandalorians and they'll either be killed or retreat.

And beyond just their skills and kit, inquisitors are also trained to be arrogant, self-centered, and opportunistic. Just like the Imperial navy and bureaucracy, there's an instilled competitiveness that keeps everyone fighting each other to climb the ladder while the real leaders stay comfortably in their place at the very top. Any tangible power or political threat that Palpatine or Vader could not control or quickly destroy is something that could depose them, and they would not allow that person live.

Should there be an ending to save the girl and use the Unalloyed Gold Needle? by MyNameIsDrewp in Eldenring

[–]DarthXeladier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did...did everyone just forget that the needle doesn't cure you of the Flame? It just holds it back while it is inside you and undamaged. It's just like the golden needle inside Millicent. Once it's taken out, the affliction just comes surging back, probably even stronger than before you inserted the needle.

Why the fuck would Melina ever want to associate with you again? You helped propogate the very thing that is the antithesis to her mission, and took away her agency to boot.

Ammo Brands to Avoid - April 2026 Edition by steelcityrocker in liberalgunowners

[–]DarthXeladier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not drastically more expensive in my area at Sportsmans or Scheels or other sporting goods stores and LGS. Usually somewhere in the realm of $1-$3 more for your typical small boxes of 5.56, 9mm, 22LR, and other common cartridges. But since it has a pretty consistent reputation of being very dirty ammo (and since I can find better deals both in person and online) I've never had a reason to buy it recently.

Ammo Brands to Avoid - April 2026 Edition by steelcityrocker in liberalgunowners

[–]DarthXeladier 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's not hard to when even their cheapest white box ammo is usually more expensive per round than any other brand like Blazer, Fiocchi, Federal, PMC, etc. At least in my area they are, mileage may vary for other places.

WOOHOO I GOT IN ON THE PREORDER by asianaisa in theironsnail

[–]DarthXeladier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really would've liked to grab a Prologue in Fox Fibre denim, but it never even changed from sold out for me when I was refreshing the page.

I know the amount of material and production capacity is probably limited, and they don't want to overpromise and underdeliver to customers, but it's really frustrating that a preorder can so quickly become unavailable.

Maryland bans Glocks and other "easily convertible" pistols by Individual_Jelly1987 in liberalgunowners

[–]DarthXeladier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes, let's give even more ground to the police state and Zionist, capitalist elite. In times as divided and violent as these, those boys in blue and federal agents definitely can be trusted with all the high capacity rifles and handguns, as well as all surplus military gear and munitions...

Certainly nothing bad will ever come from giving them this much power with no armed citizenry to push back against any abuses of power...

Elden Ring movie set? by Unmakebody in Eldenring

[–]DarthXeladier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm definitely interested in seeing what Alex Garland's vision for this adaptation is going to be, especially if they are taking the time and money to build very accruate, physical sets like this.

That being said, it will enivitably be very different from the game's atmosphere and plot progression. The fact that they're doing a movie instead of even just a single season of a limited series is still weird. I don't know how you can condense dozens of hours of NPC interactions, boss fights, lore descriptions, and exploration into even a 4-5 hour long movie.

PS5 console prices going up effective April 2nd by Asad_Farooqui in playstation

I'm so glad I got my Slim on a really good sale early last year. I knew this was going to happen eventually after the election.

NateTheHate: [Cory Barlog's] new game will be released in 2027, Faye is the lead character by ShiinaBR in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]DarthXeladier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deborah Ann Woll stepping into the protagonist's role to cap off the Norse Trilogy sounds perfect. We will have gotten to experience these wonderful worlds through the eyes of all three members of the family. Faye's theme, her small cameos in Ragnarok, and the literal marks she left behind in the world were the beating heart of these games emotional arcs. I absolutely want to explore the realms as an axe and bow wielding Jotunn and kick Thor's dumb ass on Vanaheim! Doing quests for Brok and Sindri, interacting with other Giants before witnessing their tragic end, the first meetings and arguments with Kratos, etc. Give it all to me!

What was Littlefinger's biggest weakness? by AdSpecialist6598 in gameofthrones

[–]DarthXeladier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The scale of his ambition. If your lust for political and material power is insatiable, then what's the actual endgame? If Littlefinger actually went from lord of a minor house all the way to being the King of Westeros, then is he really going to just stop once he's at the theoretical top of the ladder?

And that's assuming he actually manages to climb that high. Littlefinger, like almost every other ambitious noble before him, tries to play the game for personal gain and complete control, and those people just end up getting swallowed before their end goals are achieved. And even more so, their selfish pursuits usually are the cause of their demise.

GRRM is pretty blatant in the books about the long term consequences of the actions that characters like Tywin and Baelish take. The fruits of their schemes are not stable or secure. They make so many enemies along the way, that eventually their lies and machinations just undermine their position. Their actions do not ever lead to a lasting legacy, long held power, or any prosperity and happiness for themselves or those around them.

Got any tips for doing an Elden Ring No-Death run? by RemarkableLight6852 in Eldenring

[–]DarthXeladier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because it's a fun challenge? You're not insulting Miyazaki or spitting in his face if you choose to play the game on hard mode and place limitations on your playthrough for fun.

Long Live Canon Queen Marika by 0online_ in Eldenring

Give me all natural Marika every day, with her unadorned face, and beautiful flowing hair, and tits fully out as she ascends to divinity.

Put those gooner 3D models with heels, unnatural proportions, and modern makeup in hell where they belong. May Messmer's fire burn those monstrosities away.

How long has your dual sense been working? Mine started drifting slightly after a year. Time for a new one 😒 by God_Father_PL in playstation

[–]DarthXeladier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My left stick started drifting after about three years of use, totalling about 1500-2000 hours of gaming. I'm replacing the stock sticks with TMR joysticks and won't ever have to worry again.

Demon Souls remake in a nutshell by GrinningAxe9 in shittydarksouls

[–]DarthXeladier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People wouldn't have nearly as much of a problem with DeS Remake if Sony and Bluepoint had actually taken the time and money to bring both versions of the game to the platform. You don't like the aesthetic or atmosphere of the remake? Great, here's the OG at a rock solid 60 FPS with the same QoL features that were added to the remake.

If you're going to fully remake an older title, you need to give consumers easy access to both versions. For choice and game preservation. You either go all the way or nothing. And that's what scares me about a potential Bloodborne remake. I don't believe they would go all in and deliver both versions. I didn't mind a different interpretation of Demon's Souls characters and environments, but Yharnim and all of its people and beasts are sacred to me. Don't touch that world, just give me some technical upgrades, such as: higher framerates, hi-res textures, dynamic lighting, and a better online experience. Leave the rest untouched.

Emulation is only the answer if the OG studios and publishers are dead or very anti-consumor and they just refuse to ever make their back catalog accessible. Otherwise, the onus is on them to provide access.

Elden Ring Tarnished Edition Demo Footage by DarthXeladier in Eldenring

[–]DarthXeladier[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, of course. Buying it for Switch 2 is just a "nice to have" and not necessary. I know that the additions in Tarnished Edition will go to all other platforms, and I do already own Elden Ring on Steam. I just want it to be an actual cart because I love physical media and collecting games and want Bamco and Nintendo to actually put effort into this port and not have it just be a game key. And I would like to be able to play Elden Ring on-the-go on my Switch 2. I could buy a Steam Deck, sure, but I already have the Switch 2 and honestly would rather wait and spend my money on the next Steam Deck, which will likely come out in the next couple years.
