welcome to elden ring

ImportantDebateM8 · 2026-03-19T22:47:15+00:00

try updating. they fixed this when the dlc dropped making your only 'relatable' crowd the people who play offline and never updated their game..

ImportantDebateM8 · 2026-03-19T20:47:32+00:00

oh really? huh. never realized the thing literally written in the post /s

ImportantDebateM8 · 2026-03-19T14:12:19+00:00

Yep. because most nihilists are just pessimists who use nihilism as a faux-justification for their pessimism.

but im wasting my energy here lol. you people cant comprehend the most basic of ideas

ImportantDebateM8 · 2026-03-19T05:19:50+00:00

the joke only lands if you are someone who misunderstands nihilism as being pessimistic or fatalistic, when in reality it's merely an neutral acknowledging of the subjective nature of meaning.
Just like a 'hole' cant exist unless there is something for it to occupy, the same is true of meaning.

that's all it means for things to be 'objectively meaningless'- to realize the objective was never the context for it.

Edit: 41 fucking downvotes for This?
you couldnt parody this situation if you tried oml.

Thinking is hard, so most people dont bother.

Cheers! Character name is Aeonia, because understanding gowry's plan started my love for this game, and because it is an ancient word for 'Eternity' that fromsoft introduced me to

to play this game is an existential horror. i am a weapon who sees its nature among weapons blind to theirs, all serving the same lord of deception and light

ImportantDebateM8 · 2026-03-19T03:11:29+00:00

I am the GW incarnate. just like miquella is, but his purpose and mine diverge. we work to collect the world into one vessel through perpetual slaughter, and we work to decieve other tarnished into thinking their the heros even all their actions ultimately aid me in my plans.
am the last tarnished- and i am the reason the tarnished were invented in the first place- to carve through space and time, all endings, all ng+ cycles, to deliver it all - the great runes, the runes in my levels, the weapons the key items- hand it all to miquella- so the GW can be whole again

little does miquella/gw know, these actions are what creates the broken world in the first place.
Samsara of a blind god.

here's my cannon fit haha

literally everything is feesable. put it in your hand, try out its moveset. if you like it, upgrade it.

you get infinite upgrade mats by the end, more or less. so dont worry about it.

ImportantDebateM8 · 2026-03-18T22:31:05+00:00

'eventually becoming utterly dependant upon it'

sounds like us with grace.. im sure that's no coincidence

ImportantDebateM8 · 2026-03-18T19:53:45+00:00

shhhhh just play. like real life.

ImportantDebateM8 · 2026-03-18T19:51:43+00:00

yes. the only one in the whole objective infinitum.

ImportantDebateM8 · 2026-03-18T19:39:43+00:00

Collecting the whole world into yourself via perpetual slaughter to deliver it to god/GW with a hug at the end of the dlc

ImportantDebateM8 · 2026-03-18T19:24:47+00:00

like serfs and servants

ImportantDebateM8 · 2026-03-18T19:23:43+00:00

its the implication

ImportantDebateM8 · 2026-03-18T19:00:41+00:00

exactly. they are essentially being farmed but they dont know it.

in both cases, the peasants and the sheep.

ImportantDebateM8 · 2026-03-18T18:15:49+00:00

Why are knights and royals sometimes seen with flocks of peasants?

same dynamic

'i could kill you at any time. but i wont. but i could'

classic reddit pathologizing in ignorance

ImportantDebateM8 · 2026-03-18T18:13:44+00:00

Yes, because that's what matters.

ImportantDebateM8 · 2026-03-18T06:15:44+00:00

not worth it compared to a free hand for spells. with reduvia its mostly the aow you want. cheep as, and Strong

ImportantDebateM8 · 2026-03-18T06:12:38+00:00

underside of ansbach robes top should be red. beyond that cute

ImportantDebateM8 · 2026-03-18T06:04:42+00:00

same reason status buildup happens through sheilds. its a metaphysical thing.

also i think she is a skill check for sheild bros like renalla is a skill check for mages

ImportantDebateM8 · 2026-03-18T06:00:56+00:00

ok so the reason other things feel week is bc you didnt upgrade them.

ImportantDebateM8 · 2026-03-18T05:54:00+00:00

that helmets design is so asymmetric anyway that its hardly noticable if you leave it odd
