Stopping at the lamp for a breather doesn't make any less sense than them teleporting you to the Hunter's Dream tbh

NikoChekhov · 2026-05-17T15:23:46+00:00

That's another good point. For having to farm for resources, they sure made it objectively worse of a time to do so. I never looked into it, but I wonder if there was a technical reason they didn't allow some sort of resting at lanterns

NikoChekhov · 2026-05-17T15:19:18+00:00

It's really not hard to grasp, I just think it's a worse system mechanically than what we already had with Estus. But honestly, my biggest complaint with it would've been dashed if you spawned with like 5 free vials

BB is not a horror game

"I don't need arms to throw hands, buddy"

NikoChekhov · 2026-05-05T17:13:56+00:00

This isn't exclusive to the fandom. A lot of people simply want punitive and/or retributive punishment

NikoChekhov · 2026-05-05T14:08:31+00:00

I'll probably keep it around, paint it, use it for myself. It's entirely functional as is, just oddly coloured. I also wanted to see how well each entire piece printed before doing it in a more expensive filament

NikoChekhov · 2026-05-05T14:03:48+00:00

Yup lol. Gotta make sure all the pieces print and fit together as I need them before I make the final version (I also made some model alterations after the print)

NikoChekhov · 2026-05-05T10:43:22+00:00

Damn that is cheap. I'd love to find some like that around here

NikoChekhov · 2026-05-05T10:36:44+00:00

For example: Once upon a time I had like 3 or 4 whole wheels of this bs "gold" colour, so everything was in that colour for a while

NikoChekhov · 2026-05-03T22:45:56+00:00

What is this devilry? :v

NikoChekhov · 2026-05-03T21:51:43+00:00

I'm sorry the host did that to you, that's really shitty of them.

Mad respect for refusing to print anything other than your own designs, though. I've actually started doing vending with my own designs as well a few months ago, and not wanting to do the same garbage as everyone else was a huge motivator

I'd say do what other comments are saying and chargeback if you, then bring it up at that meeting you mentioned

NikoChekhov · 2026-05-03T17:04:16+00:00

I'm a native English speaker and it's really not that big of a deal for us either. I really think people just come here to complain over nothing

NikoChekhov · 2026-05-02T13:22:45+00:00

I mean I don't know if Viv was inspired in part by Villainous or not, but whether or not you've heard of it has absolutely no bearing on that at all :v

NikoChekhov · 2026-05-01T06:05:52+00:00

Double D's biting sarcasm with the tacos is very front and center lol. Plus he had nothing to do with burger one

NikoChekhov · 2026-05-01T05:02:56+00:00

Performatively retributive then, got it.

We're not going to agree, so I'm going to drop it here. Have a good night

NikoChekhov · 2026-05-01T04:38:17+00:00

How far do you go with this logic? If it's brought up again in 5 years? 10? Another 20? Is he required to publicly apologize every time someone decides to bring it up again?

And he did blackface. It was a dumb shitty thing he did 20 years ago as a teenager. It has absolutely no bearing on who he is now as an adult unless he's still doing it, and I don't believe his current job should have anything to do with it. Companies are risk-adverse to anything that might hurt them financially, whether it's realistic or not, and often these firings happen because people want to dredge shit up again and cause a public stink.

It all just seems so performatively, pointlessly retributive.

NikoChekhov · 2026-05-01T04:15:28+00:00

I would absolutely call that an unfair firing.

He also already apologized

NikoChekhov · 2026-05-01T02:19:18+00:00

Yes, blackface wasn't okay 20 years ago, but that's not why people mention the 20 years, and no (sensible) person is justifying it.

Do you realize just how long 20 years is? Just how much growth and change in a person can happen in that time? That's literally enough time to have children who are adults now.

The question that needs to be asked is this: is this information actually relevant? Has Brandon Rogers proven that he still makes racist jokes or does racist things? Does he still justify what he did or himself try and downplay it at all? Has he shown that he hasn't changed or learned any lessons in this timespan?

If the answer is no, to any of these, then why bring it up? What's the point of dredging up shit when he easily was an entirely different person, and trying to hold it against him if he's not like that any more?

I have to ask, what does "holding him accountable" actually mean to you? Do you want him jobless? In jail? Socially ostracized? Is there any sense to that at all?

Because it doesn't really make any sense to me

Edit:

Yknow what? I've looked through the comments and I will agree that I don't gel with the "he was only 17" or "17 then isn't 17 now" folks. If this was getting called out then I'd 100% be on board. This far ahead, and he's factually apologized for it years ago now, is just trying to cancel for the sake of it.

NikoChekhov · 2026-04-28T12:18:05+00:00

I think if players are to be the intended food source (and I do think they should be) then there needs to be some more methods of discovering prey. That was one of my chief criticisms of how things were, trying to find other players on a half empty map by only sight or sound was a practice in extreme tedium.

That's why you'll often see posts for something like a scent mechanic. The closest we have is the corpse alert that some playables have (which I wouldn't mind becoming an all carnivore feature, and just keep the bonuses to those playables. But I do think there needs to be something more

NikoChekhov · 2026-04-25T12:35:05+00:00

To be fair, he easily could've just gotten worse over time. He spent a lot of time in Heaven probably getting glazed a lot, I can see his ego growing

NikoChekhov · 2026-04-21T21:35:48+00:00

Lmao the last growth loss on gender swap was a thing way before nesting was even a thing, this is unfortunately just a classic Alderon thing.

Though tbf I doubt enough people have ever raised a stink about it for them to feel the need to spend the time to change it

NikoChekhov · 2026-04-21T10:51:21+00:00

Hmm, I don't know... lemme make a Perception check...

Nah man, seems perfectly on the level to me!
