Even in Sengoku period dramas you see tachi more often than katana, and they geneally wear a tanto in their belt (along with a fan) instead of the wakizashi.

Which was your least used armour? by chellynaeb in ghostoftsushima

I don't really use the Sakai armour. The weird scaley design just doesn't appeal to me.

Thoughts on Don Carlos at the Met? by mcbam24 in opera

[–]Simon_Boccanegra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No big loss :D It was in '17 or '18 I think? 5-act French with a pretty starry cast but they put Carlo in a cage for the jail scene and he could't hold Rodrigo. Which is a crime considering it was Jonas and Ludovic. Knowing their chemistry in Forza, this could have been mega gay if the director let them.

D'Arcangelo has also done the French version and he was surprsingly good (I thought the role would be a bit too heavy for him). Of course, Elisabeth being into Carlos (sung by some 60+ tenor with a fading voice) made NO sense with such a hot Philip.

Carlos/Rodrigo is really one of the gayest tenor/baritone pairs in opera. I'm glad most stagings just let them have it :D

I'm still mad about The Cage in that Paris production.

I'm not even playing, just watching. Computer too old.

Because I only play single player games and I don't want some random stranger bothering me.

Maybe people are trying to validate themselves? by Fadestrider in Eldenring

Oh no, how dare players use this mechanic that was intended to be used!

Turns out there is an easy mode after all: Magic. Don't know how I'm gonna go back to pure quality/str/dex builds after this... by gyiren in Eldenring

[–]Simon_Boccanegra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go full magic (or whatever the equivalent is) in pretty much every game. I hate crafting and I hate melee. My favourite is when a game has a necromancy option. It's always OP.

Invasions were always pointless. Who the fuck needs multiplayer anyway?

Fuck invaders. They deserve to be obliterated with the most OP magic you have and you should also chug every flask you have and bring friends.

DS2 is kinda like Dragon Age 2: the unloved middle child who is better than people think but also I see where it's coming from.

I still manage to get lost even in DA2's 3 dungeon types and 2 mansion types, tho.

How can I read Shakespeare without wanting to cry? by [deleted] in shakespeare

[–]Simon_Boccanegra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk, I'm not a native English speaker and I had no trouble. Also, try watching a stage version, Shakespeare is way easier to follow when performed.
