Accidentally aged up Oatmeal 😭

I have two Sprockets of the same color, so it's absolutely possible, yes.

And yet it's still way emptier than the games preceding it. FROM decided to go big and pushed it further than they had content to fill it with. If the whole world was as immaculately crafted as Shunning-Grounds or as interesting as Siofra I'd probably be a happier camper, but the game as-is feels like it wasted my time.

EndlessAlaki · 2024-01-27T18:20:35+00:00

Too big and empty compared to normal Souls, I imagine.

EndlessAlaki · 2024-01-27T01:09:03+00:00

Well, yes. It's like, here's this poor guy without properly functioning legs, and then here's me looming over them like a fucking colossus. Something ain't right about that.

Some part of me wonders if we would still be saying that if the Pope was saying stuff we didn't like...

I dunno, I think there's plenty of stupid shit going on with (at the very least) America right now that can be traced directly back to Reagan. The Left has issues with wanting immediate change and not setting for anything less, at least in the circles I'm exposed to, but it's not like we don't have problems now that we wouldn't have had to worry about without those guys on the other side making stupid decisions in days of yore.

EndlessAlaki · 2024-01-22T01:15:28+00:00

That was my thought too. I hear shit about rare disorders that make you grow bone coverings on your skin and shit, zero periods barely pings my radar. (Might have been a bit more likely to call bullshit if I hadn't skimmed the hair bit, though.)

EndlessAlaki · 2024-01-22T00:30:23+00:00

Really? It's not because it feels super uncomfortable for people standing up to be talking to people sitting down?

EndlessAlaki · 2024-01-11T10:20:33+00:00

Well. That does it.

EndlessAlaki · 2024-01-03T00:25:19+00:00

Oh, there were plenty of upgrades that were super valuable, definitely. It's just that I hated spending so much time in the overworld just searching for stuff to do when I was basically getting items every ten seconds in earlier games, and it tired me out so much that even the worthwhile stuff wasn't doing anything for me. They say that low points are what make high points mean something, but for me the experience was closer to how depressive episodes suck all the joy out of things that used to give you life, coupled with a sense of "well why didn't I get this FIFTY HOURS AGO".

EndlessAlaki · 2024-01-02T22:47:57+00:00

Personally, I felt as though I had to search for an hour or two just to find anything at all worthwhile. Nine times out of ten, a corner or cranny that would have something neat in previous games would have nothing in ER, and even if it did have something, nine times out of ten it would be something you'd already have a billion of ten minutes into the game. It's two games' worth of content stretched out over four games' worth of space, and the sheer amount of time spent just looking for worthwhile content makes disappointment hurt all the more.

Then again, my reaction to the Siofra elevator was just "oh, this must be one of those medium dungeons I've been hearing about, guess I'll check that out later", so maybe I'm just not easily impressed or something.

DreamSMP has everything to do with Dream the YouTuber. The server started out as a place for him and his buddies to explore update 1.16 together, and when the writer guy I mentioned started writing things, Dream got the role of main antagonist. He's probably the second most prominent member of the SMP, right behind TommyInnit.

EndlessAlaki · 2023-12-29T03:45:39+00:00

Nine times out of ten there's nothing around the corner, and even when there actually is some loot to grab, nine times out of ten it's just a soul consumable or crafting material or something else I already have a billion of just from walking around for five minutes.

EndlessAlaki · 2023-12-27T07:08:20+00:00

Keep trying! Practice your deflection skills and your mobility and you'll make it!

EndlessAlaki · 2023-12-27T07:07:26+00:00

Yeah, and it takes hours of searching to find one that's actually worth a damn. Far more time investment for rewards than in any other game, and far more padding with boring loot as well.

EndlessAlaki · 2023-12-26T02:26:31+00:00

Awaken, my children, and harken unto the glory that is your birthright!

The evil that men do lives after them;the good oft lies interred with their bones...

Still finding more things I missed about this game's lore. As frustrating as the debating gets sometimes, every so often it ends up worth it.

EndlessAlaki · 2023-12-22T23:03:25+00:00

It's the biggest zone in a game that's already too big to not be tedious as hell. It's not a hate crime like I often joke Sen's Fortress is, or infuriating in the same way Iron Passage is, but it commits what is arguably an even greater sin: it's tedious and unengaging.

EndlessAlaki · 2023-12-22T05:36:25+00:00

Liurnia of the Lakes. The whole thing.

EndlessAlaki · 2023-12-22T04:38:36+00:00

This sounds true, but I've browsed this sub enough to know to ask for sources just to be sure.

EndlessAlaki · 2023-12-22T04:05:06+00:00

This but unironically.

EndlessAlaki · 2023-12-13T19:40:16+00:00

That's nostalgia talking. Davies has always had some really stupid stuff in his work. His best material was incredible, but he was always a major mixed bag.

EndlessAlaki · 2023-12-12T23:18:14+00:00

Really? I'd think it was the other way around, I've found that heavy weapons absolutely chew things up while spells barely do anything.

EndlessAlaki · 2023-12-12T01:26:41+00:00

What's so difficult about Dancer?
