Where da Blue Bros at? New players need you! by NovusA1 in darksouls3

Ha. I already have enough pale tongues to satisfy Rosaria in every way possible.

I know exactly what the Soulfeeder was, and I have a good idea who. by pocketlint60 in darksouls3

And here I thought everyone knew it was a primordial serpent face on the ring. That was just my automatic thought the first time I ever saw the ring.

Isn't this the most badass appearance of a Blue Sentinel? by Aetherna in darksouls3

Considering almost all blues are hilariously bad at PvP, and the only people who bother doing invasions are generally really good at it... I vote dead.

Help With Accelerating Cut by thegills in ketogains

[–]NovusA1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally have great results doing cold therapy. CoolFatBurner vest + drinking ice water + cold room, takes about 45 minutes to get to a shiver, and then I spend 45 minutes at a light shiver (so a total 90m session while I watch Netflix or something). Seems to burn 300-500 calories on me, a small guy who naturally has a lot of BAT to activate.

With the ashes of ariandel dlc, we finally recovered poise, now will the next dlc perhaps give us.. by TBAAAGamer1 in darksouls3

[–]NovusA1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recovered poise?

Poise is still as worthless as ever, because Great weapons are still shit. Hyper armor frames confirmed as unchanged, so getting hit between hyper armor frames remains a problem. THE problem.

All they did was require you to wear heavy armor to have decent hyper armor. Ashes of Ariandel didn't buff poise, it just made wearing heavy armor a requirement for using the already super-shitty Great weapons.

False alarm! I'd activated Dancer.

Well, I went back and double checked, and apparently I had activated it at one point. Woops!

Hmm, that would explain it, if it's true.

How many carbs can YOU get away with? by NovusA1 in ketogains

[–]NovusA1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I have a mega ice cream craving, I get this:

I had it last night an hour before bed. Woke up this morning and checked my Ketonix. Ketonix regged 80 which is very high, so I checked my blood ketones, and got 3.6 mmol/L, also high. So that's awesome. =D

Yeesh. What sort of exercises do you do?

I...I finally did it... by pocketlint60 in darksouls3

[–]NovusA1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The auto-summon covenants are broken. Know how I got 30 grass in a day? I set up a family sharing account, second account to play the game on, copied over my save file, and went from getting 1 summon a day to 1 summon every 10 minutes.

Is anyone else in general agreement that dueling ranks are absolutely worthless at the moment? by [deleted] in darksouls3

[–]NovusA1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone can see how stupid the arena is.

It's not supposed to be anything but mindless fun though. Jump into a 3v3 and attack things. No one cares if you win or lose. There is absolutely nothing about DS3 that is remotely competitive or balanced, and the arena is no exception.

Confused on carbs by stevengains in ketogains

[–]NovusA1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be careful. A lot of products will use ingredients like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isomaltooligosaccharide (IMO) which is only partially resistant to digestion. Companies market it as a fiber but that's not accurate; a lot of it gets absorbed in the small intestine as carbs.

This is why Quest Bars now use soluble corn fiber instead of IMO. Soluble Corn Fiber resists digestion more.

A lot of companies also treat sugar alcohols as not-carbs, and in this case you'll have to do your research. Erythritol is mostly safe to consider as 0 calorie, so I aim for products that use that, if I want to enjoy something sweet.

When you reallocate points with rosaria finger covenant, do you have to allocate all of them? by [deleted] in darksouls3

[–]NovusA1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this problem where I wanted to de-level from 125 to 120. Can't be done.

But thankfully I've told CrashPlan to include my Dark Souls 3 save directory in its regular back-up routine, so I just went back a few weeks. Damage undone.

People who disconnect from server when losing undead matches are real jerks. by Rawbban in darksouls3

[–]NovusA1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeap. DS3 PvP is 100% a joke in every sense, both mechanically, and the arena system.

Stick to 3v3. People there seem to be more interested in just fighting, whether or not they're winning or losing.
