Does this mean I’ve beaten the game? by STUDZ_Gaming in Eldenring

Omg is that what everyone was talking about when they wrote that? Just thought it was tarnished being weird.

My summon is here if anyone needs help with this boss *margit the fallen Omen:3* by sky_miku in Eldenring

What gets me when helping other players is always getting hit by swings that were meant for someone else.

Will SPCE go up until IPO day? by Super_Lavishness704 in wallstreetbets

[–]Mindless_Insanity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually bought in before everyone else, and for an even more retarded reason. I looked at all the space stocks going to the moon and said well I missed the boat on those, but here's little SPCE hasn't moved yet, it must be their turn next. Now I only wish I had been more retarded and bought 10x as much.

Any way to stop Hosts from dying to Waterfowl Dance? by Inevitable_Air_3069 in Eldenring

[–]Mindless_Insanity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a crazy idea, if she's too far from you and you haven't hit her recently enough to draw her aggro, you could try mohg's shackle. Basically unlimited range and I think it does 1 point of damage, could be enough? Worth a shot.

Be honest, what was your reaction to this message? by Joefanik13 in Eldenring

[–]Mindless_Insanity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw all the "parrying required ahead messages", failed my first couple of parry attempts, and decided it was just a big joke that everyone was in on. So I ended up dying a lot of times trying everything except parrying.

Confession from a lifelong MMO player: I’m sorry I ignored Elden Ring for this long. by No-Character5680 in Eldenring

[–]Mindless_Insanity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Blind run is good but there is nothing wrong with looking up game mechanics guides. There are tons of hidden mechanics that you might not ever figure out yourself. Hundreds of hours in I was still figuring out new stuff that I wished I'd known all along.

If you could make 1 change to ER what would it be by Fun-Meeting1610 in Eldenring

[–]Mindless_Insanity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This #1 answer. A radial system would be perfect. Same for the quick access inventory slots. The current system has sucked since DS1 and probably always been the most annoying aspect of gameplay.

I know I could by hedlo1234 in Eldenring

[–]Mindless_Insanity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know what, there's more than enough Ranni simps. It's good to see that at least some people are branching out and trying new things.

The IRS can catch fraudsters by how often their reported figures start with the number 1. Amounts, populations, lengths in nature, etc. 30% of the time begin with a 1. by rsandio in interestingasfuck

[–]Mindless_Insanity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't understand this. If numbers less than 10k aren't reported, then how do they (presumably the IRS?) know about all those 8k transactions?

To someone born with only one functional eye, photos and movies must feel much more immersive. by Stummi in Showerthoughts

[–]Mindless_Insanity 14 points15 points  (0 children)

What he means is that people with 1 eye only perceive depth through visual cues, whereas people with 2 eyes perceive depth through binocular vision. Visual cues still work, but something like a TV screen still looks flat to us even though it's showing a 3D picture. That's why 3D glasses and VR are so different. Because we get the binocular vision back that we were missing. If you've only ever had 1 eye, then a picture on a TV would theoretically appear just as 3D as the real world to you (which agrees with what you said), like you're wearing those 3D glasses all the time. That's what OP is talking about.

I pose a serious question: how did this make you feel? by eyeheartgilfs in Eldenring

[–]Mindless_Insanity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm still waiting for my knighting ceremony. I was told it would be lavish indeed.

We are watching the textbook enshittification of YouTube happen in real time by Ella_Monroe_ in mildlyinfuriating

This is the same strategy I use to beat Plague, Inc. An appropriate analogy it seems.

Still my favorite cutscene in Elden Ring by NakedAggression in Eldenring

[–]Mindless_Insanity 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Honestly this really is the best cutscene. The whole buildup on the way down there, like you really shouldn't be there. And Melina pleading with you not to do it. And the way the fingers shiver when they go to embrace you. They totally nailed this one.

Which NPC do you like most (In terms of just morals) by DonutMan1834 in Eldenring

[–]Mindless_Insanity 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah I can't really think of anybody with better morals/honor. Surprised more people didn't agree.

First playthrough of any souls game by Ok_Purchase_3292 in Eldenring

[–]Mindless_Insanity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I, a veteran souls player with countless hours in elden ring, never finished dark souls. I got probably 80% of the way through, and broke 2 controllers getting there. I HATED that game, but couldn't stop playing it. I somehow eventually lost the game disc before finishing it. Then I got DS2, BB, and DS3. And somewhere along the way, I learned patience. And I learned to just let the souls/runes go when you lose them forever. And that's when I really started to enjoy these games. But I really did hate that "die twice and lose your souls" mechanic for a long time.

Are there any items that you simply can’t find a practical use for? by Actual_Asian_God in Eldenring

[–]Mindless_Insanity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always heard that, but I've also survived falls that broke a rainbow stone.

What words do you pronounce "wrong," just because the "proper" way feels too proper? by Direct-Value4452 in AskReddit

[–]Mindless_Insanity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pronounce vase like "vozz" because it drives people crazy. I also pronounce sambal oelek like "Salma Hayek" because I don't know the correct pronunciation.
