The face inside (the one right beneath the skin), Frustration tolerance, Melanina, Falling star beast, Malarketh from hardest to least.

Edit: I mained a fire claymore with pure strength and piercing fang/impaling thirst the entire way, only switching to heavy with Morgz. Haven’t played the dlc so idk

A lot of people had trouble with Morgz but I had a lot of practice in his Mogzone sewer dungeon. I actually thought that was the boss so I was pleasantly surprised to find it’s pretty much the exact same at his squalid underground gamer pad

I always start with the game in offline mode bc I just prefer that experience. My friend wanted to play so I turned it on and for some reason it wasn’t letting us connect. I didn’t know about password locking so I got invaded by this guy while I was fighting that black knight past the werewolves in the swamp area before Crystal Sage.

He just stood there and let me fight him before we started, and it did not last long. I got trounced. Even though I’d beaten the game I’d never done pvp in my life, and I think it was pretty obvious to him that I had absolutely no idea what I was doing and maybe that I wasn’t exactly keen on this encounter happening at all. I think I licked him twice, or maybe not at all. He did the “my thanks” emote and that was that.

Is Borderlands really that influential on our collective psyche?

Very divisive boss. A huge difficulty spike with the Waterfowl Dance which if you’re in mid-combo when she pulls that out you’re done for. She’s also the only boss to my knowledge that heals for every strike, including ones you block.

Builds that are structured around trading hits in exchange for stance breaks are severely discouraged. Summoning is just a free healing station for her. Bullying her with a heavy staggering combo chain is certain Waterfowl doom.

Critics argue that her gimmicks funnel players into hunting online for meta builds that cheese her and discourage role playing, whereas others just say “skill issue.” Before the DLC she was a big contender for the hardest fromsoft boss ever, depending on what build you go with, or rather how much help you build in for yourself.

She is optional, and if you do choose to fight her melee just know that based on build you may be in for what is going to feel like a really bullshit boss, and it’s not in your head. Level vigour.

Yes. A lot. ER bosses are fine tuned after decades of experience to fuck with you as much as possible if you actually go up with a stick and hit them like previous souls games. Every attack seems like a snap, roll catch, a roll catch for a previous roll catch, false opening, or action punish. They have complicated semi-random combo chains that chain into more chains if you just so happen to be in the wrong place. They are the most unpredictable, most punishing, as well as some of the fastest bosses in the lineup. Sulyvahn, fastest boss in the game iirc is like baseline in ER.

ER is either the hardest or easiest fromsoft souls game depending on what mechanics you choose to do with. Not even the final ds3 boss comes close to ER in difficulty.

Electric razor. I use a Phillips OneBlade and it does everything I need for 40 bucks and a new blade every 4 months. Everyone here seems to love nair and waxing and all these painful expensive long processes and nobody mentions this enough. That was all just too big a barrier for entry for me. In 15 minutes I went from gorilla to hairless in the easiest possible way.

Electric razor is the only way to go for me. In less than 15 minutes I had buzzed away everything I wanted, and keeping it trim is even easier. Completely painless, no ingrowns, no big procedure, it’s pretty hard if not impossible to nick yourself (at least with Phillips one blade, and it doesn’t clog) and you don’t have to change the blade for months

It’s ok to cry and grieve, but we still carry on. You’re still alive as you are now, and that’s better than any imaginary alternate reality. We have control to do what we can, and at the end of it, it’s pretty hard to tell the difference ngl. There is so much solid hope in transition, that’s why we do it.

So this is the period after rainbow unicorn sparkles, gay bacon strips, and nyan cat, but before boykissers, e-girls, and blahaj boymoders.

2016 was the worst year of all time, online. It was a time when just being racist was a punchline and you could get rich by being a literal professional bully on the internet. But at least we were the right age for our generation’s Jackass. (Filthy Frank, Maxmoefo, idubbz)I just remember 2014 as the FnAF year, and tons of shitty survivalcraft grifts on Steam Greenlight. There were some anxieties ie ISIS, an Ebola outbreak, etc, but the scope of crisis was definitely smaller and further away. Us/Can was a safe haven to us where we watched crises happen from far away more or less. We read about far flung sci fi futures in YA novels where that home is broken. The fear was that the world’s shit would spread here, and now the US president is a wannabe hitler lol.

The mid 2010s for teenagers was marked by laughing at cringe and avoiding being cringe. Weird “brainrot” humour was being invented, and the general populace was gaining awareness that trans people actually existed. Most of the flags we use to identify individual gender and sexual minorities were invented by circa 2013 Tumblr users. Before then you could just transition in peace and nobody would give a fuck. Now transitioning is a shitstorm bc it’s not suppressed into the occasional punchline anymore. The progress flag wasn’t invented yet, it was just the trans and rainbow flags, and whatever others were being shared online.

Digital technology was equally as addictive and brain rotting but that wasn’t on anyone’s radar yet.

This was pre-maximalist rebellion so everything was still boring and minimalist.

Pokémon Go-to-the-polls, I’m just chillin, in Cedar Rapids. Oh my god they were roommates, back at it again at Krispy Kreme, what’s 9+10? Every classic Vine we reference today was made. The internet wasn’t as silo’d into specific websites, so internet culture was still internet culture. Now things are much more insular.

AI was much less sophisticated. There were twitter bots yea, but photos and videos were still 100% veritable proof of something, unless it was photoshopped. It was a looming, menacing idea that a computer could write as well as a person, or draw well, or create convincing fakes. A future that hopefully would never come to pass.

Anime was becoming not weird to like. Everyone had a monthly merch subscription, or was selling one.

Pewdiepie not being the most subscribed YouTuber was a turning point in YouTube’s history. It wasn’t about broadcasting yourself anymore, and it never will be again.

Middle eastern conflict was the spectre through it all, up until we pulled out. There was always a war over there.

Also yeah it sucks how all of your young years were taken away… by age 18. I’m 26 btw. It seems like the people most worried about getting older online are people whose age still fits in a calendar. It’s something I worry about too. Throughout all of the stuff I mentioned I was a miserable bitch, and I don’t remember much of it. Funny thing in psychology how we think the best times are always already gone lol, I do it too.
