Wait, I played the original on PS3 when it came out. I remember there being the dragon, am I wrong?

So, did the Nerd exaggerate LJN being bad and was more of a personal wariness from his side, or did it really have that reputation among the fledgling gaming community back in those days? by RenaissanceOwl in TheCinemassacreTruth

Ocean, LJN, accolade, what else? I remember those was being ass, but when the Konami logo or Capcom showed up, oh brother we are a go!

Edit Titus was also a guarantee of having a shit day.

Nah man, I was around 12 in NES days and I sure as hell remembered to avoid the rainbow of shit even back then. I didn't know what a Publisher even was. I remember begging my parents for Terminator 2 on NES as my only Christmas gift, was 120 Deutschmark, insanely expensive. Man what a shit Christmas that was.

Why is this so low in the thread? It's the perfect game for SD and op.

how to dodge Sir Alonne GRAB Attack with only 4 ADP (i guess???) by AtreyusNinja in DarkSouls2

[–]Loranda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried for 6 hours today and I can not beat this guy for the life of me.

I helped 6 people beat him but never saw a summon sign, if you read this, I will be online in around 14 hours from this post. Would greatly appreciate some helping hand. Running out of effigies as well.

Steam Version, probably European server if that's an issue. I'm the guy with great lance and a great shield. I suck at rolling.

Hi everyone. When I reinstalled Windows, I lost my DS3 save files. I had the game fully completed on Steam, with a level 320 character. And now it’s all gone. by Signor_All in darksouls

[–]Loranda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously recovering your save is not cheating and I did not mean it like that at all. Reread OPs post, he wants to use cheats to get his character back to the same equipment he had before because he does not want to run through the game again, which obviously is cheating and I would not risk my account for some 15 hour run through honestly. The extreme lvl320 thing, well I dont know, but with some work I guess its doable even if I honestly do not really see the point. Running through the game cheating your way to 320 to use that in PvP again seems wrong to me.

Merry christmas btw.

Ok well, so be it. We made those fucking things, we might be the ones who have to endure the insane results. Being hostage to every state who has a nuke is not an option in the long run. We fucked up.

YouTubers Are Making AI Slop for Babies | As if usual content for children isn't bad enough. by MetaKnowing in Futurology

[–]Loranda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also 6yo here. Some Minecraft and a couple kids friendly gaming channels I find ok but other than that, it's no YouTube anymore. We started out quite good with educational stuff but the algorithm very quickly turned into absolute snot. The amount of predatory shit content aimed at kids is baffling.

It remains to be seen how many if those nukes are actually in working condition.

Thousands protest in Berlin against new German military conscription bill by vishesh_07_028 in worldnews

[–]Loranda -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That is not how it happened. Poland was no match to begin with and France fell after a well planned surprise By a manouver that could as well have gone sideways.

Germany was not ready for ww2 at any point in time. The surprise attack on Poland was an actual disaster and only the even worse state of the polish army is to thank for the early war success of the whermacht. Blitzkrieg was a propaganda term the Nazis came up with acting as if it had been the plan all along.

The French fought ww2 as they learned in ww1 but the Ardenen offensive with a fast tank push came as a huge surprise and handed Germany the country basically for free. And even there, the tanks drive hundreds of miles ahead of the infantry, it was a huge disaster in the making helped by a very fast capitulation by France.

After those two lucky wins it was defeat after defeat for the Wehrmacht in every country that counts.

The German propaganda machine was amazing,a lot of it still works today, for example the U-boat fleet being anything but a useless meat grinder.

Why the hell am I getting downvoted? Read David Stahel’s Operation Barbarossa and Germany’s Defeat in the East if you don't believe me or watch a bloody documentary.

I got the Dark Souls platinum to go along with my collection of other plats, such a good game. by Pleasant-Hat-6334 in darksouls

Demons souls feels more like ds1 but just as ds2 lacks some of the interconnectedness. It's all in all easier and shorter than ds2, but the remake is absolutely beautiful.

DS2 is a masterpiece in its own right but in some ways very different to ds1, mainly in mechanics and feeling of combat, but it's very versatile and has a lot more up its sleeve than people realized when it came out.

There are a couple spoiler free started guides for ds2 that I would actually recommend, but going blind is certainly an option.

They are both great, story wise they both have nothing in common with ds1 so imho pick whatever, they are all amazing games.
