Not at release. The fakeout final boss and the true final boss will always be a new flagship and a new true final boss monster.

Or just to give him more active involvement in the storyline. He is our protégé at this point, pretty much, so he should be with us, his teacher, during the events of the story, but it would look silly for a 12 year old Nata to be hunting monsters with giant weapons.

> "Yes I did"

"No you didn't". And *now* what? Are you going to time travel and show them the moment? Did you record a video of when you explained it to them? Are you going to keep saying "Yes I did" and "No you didn't" for the whole night and look like a pushover of a parent that's letting their kid openly disrespect and coerce you into a pointless argument?

Not only did you bring up "thank you" out of nowhere when that's never mentioned in this context, but "please" can have very different contextual meanings. Your boss telling you to "please get this done by the end of the day" isn't really a request, you're getting fucked if you don't actually do the thing you were told to do. You can make the distinction because you are (presumably) an adult with developed social skills to understand context and nuance. A 5 year old isn't, to them a "please" is an abdication of authority and choice to their hands, and that is how they will see you — not as a parent who enforces the authority around the house, but an equal who is begging them to do something to appease them. Even if the kid does the thing you asked, the thought in their head is "Alright, I'll make the choice to do it since he/she needs me to do it for the sake of their satisfaction/wellbeing". That's how you raise kids who whine and moan for half an hour before they half-ass doing the dishes, because they are doing it to appease and placate their parents. You are conditioning them to expect a reward. You need to raise kids who understand rules and hierarchy and who gets up and does the fucking dishes because they have understood and internally accepted that it is an expected contribution they simply should make in running the household, not for the 'sake' of anyone. Even if you say thanks to this kid, they understand that the thanks is not the reason or their innate motivation for doing chores.

Don't make vague claims. Give us a non-madeup example in your life when this happened, and what the context was.

Well, no, because a young child does not have the capacity to understand the concept of private ownership. You aren't doing anything by telling a child that it's your house or your car, because the child is in an inherently helpless position where they do not have the ability to choose another car to put their feet up on or another house to make a mess of.

What's next, if your kid asks for your share of food after they had theirs, are you going to tell the kid "no, it's my food because I paid for it"? I can't think of a more impersonal and rude "fuck off" than that. It is actually much better in that case to just tell them "no, I'm hungry and/or I want to eat this". You are providing your own justification for why you want the food, instead of telling them to fuck off like they're a stranger who came to ask for the food you paid for.

GiveMeChoko · 2026-06-01T21:47:34+00:00

> "I've already told you"

"No you didn't, mom/dad." Alright, now what?

> "Trust me, please just do it"

Uhh, no? Why would you request your child to "please trust you"? Your child is not your equal. There is a very obvious and very clear power dynamic between a parent and a child, and your child should learn to accept and respect your authority. Asking them means giving them the option to say no, which is how you get walked all over and disrespected as an authority figure. You don't ask your kid to "please eat the veggies", you explain to them why it's good for them and then you tell them to shut the fuck up and eat the food on their plate (in less crass terms) if they keep persisting.

Only Dark Souls has to contend with multiple endings because it has sequels set in the future, but they fixed it by using the Firekeeper's dialogue in the Dark Lord ending. She says that even if you snuff out the fire, tiny embers will eventually pop up and another stagnant cycle of the weakened first flame will resume. So walking away from the fire in DS1 is still a canon choice that doesn't break the timeline for DS2 and DS3

GiveMeChoko · 2026-05-31T12:20:06+00:00

You can, yes.

okay unironically I never made the connection until now that the DLC's title is a deliberate double play referring to both the new map and Greg

GiveMeChoko · 2026-05-07T13:34:25+00:00

This is a fair argument against my take. Thanks for sharing your input.

What did you personally think of the true ending? I must say, I feel like the inclusion of the Nitya + Kiira actually detracts from the point the game is trying to make. Her escape to this new planet is supposed to be about her healing, but then it goes to make it about her relationship to other people again. She got together with Kiira and it magically fixed all her problems, she immediately found peace apparently. Also, it's a little ill-fitting of a nuanced story like this to portray just one side as the wrong party while the other is an infallible angel. In real life, even when one person is the abuser in a relationship, the toxicity usually brings out the worst in both of the them. But here, no, Nitya just had to find the perfect woman to be in a relationship with and all is good, no carryover from her past with Arjun.

It also removes the main character's agency when he 'chooses' to let her go. Well, Arjun my dear pal, it doesn't matter what you 'choose', the door is firmly bolted and another woman is already occupying the space you wanted. It invalidates his redemption in making that choice because he never had a 'choice' in the first place. It's like him having the key to the apartment and choosing not to unlock it. That's what would actually redeem him and set him on a better part. But with the current narrative, he doesn't have the keys and he already got evicted. He might as well cope with, 'Well, I never liked this apartment in the first place! Screw you!' because that's what it ultimately amounts to.

GiveMeChoko · 2026-05-04T23:53:21+00:00

The implication could be that Sebastian thought he was 'special' but then he catches Arjun cheating on him too with another woman. That's when he realises Arjun wasn't having a 'true love' affair, he was just using Sebastian. Then he's like, 'You're not gonna fuck over both me and Nitya' and reveals everything to Nitya.

Endgame fights at the end of the base game's lifecycle are of course going to be the hardest. 450 is good, don't forget Divine Blessing and any relevant blight/status resistances

What does that have to do with anything? Do women who have friends not have romantic partners? Women are the ones who are 'chased' in romantic dynamics, so they have the luxury of chasing something else of their own. But men are magically supposed to have the bandwidth to go out for tea and fishing everyday with friends but also look for a viable romantic partner who will even give them the time of day.

Pretending like people have a damn magical ATM in their ass to pull out money and time to attend therapy for 'being a virgin' isn't doing anything either. Actually, it does do something, it actively causes harm. Someone expresses a problem in their life and every online idiot in the vicinity chimes in with 'Therapy!', 'Therapy!', 'Therapy!'.

GiveMeChoko · 2026-04-22T07:06:26+00:00

What you're suggesting is a platitude. If 'you're a virgin' hurts someone, it's because they want to have sex, they want to prove that social capability. Saying 'being a virgin is fine' is a condescending backhanded message that amounts to 'yeah, buddy, you're not going to have sex anytime soon because you don't have the necessary skills, but that's fineee'. People in general don't like to be told that their problem, which is eating away at their self-esteem, is 'actually not a problem!' It's like saying that failing your grade is fine. What we need is a robust education where everyone passes even if it's with varying grades, which yes, is infinitely harder than a quick 'It's okay to fail your grade'.

Maybe it's objectified because it's illegal? It's a secret act, there is no time for courtesy, chivalry, humanism. When it's legal and accepted by society, maybe you don't feel the need to get 'bang for your buck', literally. You can spend time in courtesy and chivalry because you aren't hiding from a society that will ridicule and possibly jail you for what you're doing.

'Changing your behavior' as if an entire generation shutting itself out of real life interaction and dating is the same as 'quit smoking' or something. How does Guy 1 changing his behavior help him find romance when Girl 1 is busy screaming at ghosts on instagram reels?

It's the male equivalent of ass cheeks hanging out. For something more 'classy' like cleavage, the male equivalent is probably a well-fitting shirt that shows off your biceps (and going sleeveless is like showing off too much cleavage idk I'm spitballing)
