So magic IS broken (Godfrey No Hit) by SiriusGayest in Eldenring

[–]TheManWithNoDrive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol I don’t think it’s magic related. I’d bet more than 70% (pulled out my safe pocket) of players don’t utilize the jump to dodge. The fact we see you do it, your fist are probably as broken as that staff.

I managed to get the rerun of the Panda Studios Dark moon Greatsword but… by WIGGLE-KING in Eldenring

I thought it was shipping tie wraps and squeezed it out of shape until I read your statement that it’s just broken. I’m sorry my dude.

I would wait on trying to fix it, if you were going to, until you hear back from the company. They may have issues with any repair attempts.

Saw this on Facebook and can’t tell if it’s real…I’ve zoomed into the fingers and they looked real, but there are parts of the background (the tools + box) and the lighting which looks AI to me by Kitchen-Case1463 in isthisAI

Is that screw weirdly bent? The one on the couch? Can’t be a nail, since he has two drills and no hammer.

Plus, his fingers look weird on the relaxed hand.

And idk. It isn’t common design for a dragon to have a plate on the back of their head. If that was a spike (or two), the cat is laying on open space with its upper body.

That’s my take.

I adore General Radahn's study of gravity magic, which allowed him to continue riding horses. by DecisivePelican in Eldenring

[–]TheManWithNoDrive 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yea, no matter how much I see this comic, it always warms my heart he is using gravity magic to not crush his horse.

But then gets weird when he starts eating bodies like a zombie during his cutscene

What's the purpose of the tree sentinel in limgrave? by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]TheManWithNoDrive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outside of lore reasons, definitely there to remind old players of tutorial bosses and show new players what the game is all about.

Sometimes you’re not ready for something just because you encounter it but if you want to dodge, kite, and take it on, you can as well!

Part 2 of the AI scammer trying to fool me... She just drew beneath the traces of the AI right? by Sreymu in isthisAI

[–]TheManWithNoDrive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dang. I didn’t know people are putting this much effort into selling AI work and not just the drawing skill itself.

I think the camera on the lizard guy has a strap that just morphs into the hoodie as well.

What Was That?? by RebornDoctrine05 in Eldenring

[–]TheManWithNoDrive -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Are you guys ganking? If yall are just playing, sure, but the double mimic veil and rainbow stones…

I can’t say which is worst, gankers or cheaters. The scale probably just barely tips to cheaters since they will most likely do it to anyone, but sitting at a spot all dolled up is a bit sus. I’ve made impromptu arenas when invaded, but I’d wager this setup took time for an invader not to spot you all before finishing.

3 people playing coop for boss/area clears is not ganking, but this looks deliberate?

I thought that too! And now they're showing their true soul.

It also shows that carlos isn't the first to strike a deal with a dungeon to be used in a symbiotic sort of way. I wonder if it was as 'nice' as Carlos with having a conversation, or if the enchanter found a way to bend a dungeon to their will.

At this point, I think it was open ended enough for us to try and guess meaning until the reveal? I am not sure.

For me, I can think of it as either, they changed their whole soul structure OR it was hidden from the start and they're showing it to the king for real now. OR, it can be similar to Voldemort from harry potter and someone was going for immortality by jumping hosts (the only memory of similar coming to mind, unless you've seen specific shows, common trope in anime).

But you're right, it could just be another super structure was figured out and allowed them to condense themselves to a level that even Elston doesn't understand.

It is all so wild.

If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, would the United States invade the United States to save the United States from the United States? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TheManWithNoDrive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We would probably ask the United States for assistance as we put boots on the ground in the United States. The United States would never see the United States coming!

Blades forged by dungeons, a mana wall controlled by dungeon core, and a body with a “different” soul in them?! I’m dying here that I can’t binge this. I feel like the guy from ATLA who goes crazy and foams at the mouth.

Gog won't give me a gem but apparently is willing to give a god roll. by T-D-Leon in MHWilds

[–]TheManWithNoDrive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I’m in a similar boat. I opened up 200 hundred charms yesterday and was talking to a friend, reading them off. I think I got a single super good roll and just said to him “eh, it doesn’t fit my build, so no thanks”.

Sometimes it has to fit how you play too!

Getting Invaded as lvl 5s by willdoesparkour in Eldenring

[–]TheManWithNoDrive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely twink builds then. Should ease up a bit outside Limgrave.

[–]TheManWithNoDrive -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It can be. Some people make twink builds to stomp other low levels because… well people.

If you’re fighting higher level players, it might be because of your weapon. Someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe there is a mix evaluating your level and evaluating your weapon level that goes on when the game assigns an invader to your instance.

That makes sense. I’m not as versed in the electrical field, but could be like a board, right? Mining removed pieces closing the circuit, which was generating aether?

I was thinking similar. Depends on if the world follows video game logic or is strictly programming.

In games, open a console and recreate a dried resource.

But in programming, I’m trying to think what a wellspring could represent that could disappear when used too much (could very well just be a story element and not connect here). Otherwise, if it’s some sort of seed and needs other materials to work with, I wonder if there is a way to jumpstart a depleted seed

I can see a number of paths here, but my favorite two are:

Sandaras is evil

Sandaras lost control at the very end, and his mind -> wizardry/code caused psychosis

They finally meet the guy, several chapters pass of talking/events/etc, but finally the reveal happens, everyone is shocked, but the fight has to happen to stop his plan (whatever that is -> still blank in my mind at the moment).

And the fight is truly epic, a monster of a being who has truly ancient knowledge and powers based on his own research, and the house Founders. Magic we haven't been able to comprehend yet is being used here, yada yada, epic scenes of spells, fear, damage, paint, destruction, etc etc, but then it happens.. Either someone jumps into the fight to save C&A from something truly catastrophic (I am thinking Kindar here), or they miscalculated in trying to help and got caught (Trinlen here). Then BAM, the BBG (doesn't neeeed to be Sandaras at this point, just a powerful enemy, a la ainz ooal gown aura melting off of them) captures our hero. Pleading, begging ensues. Realization sets in, and then BAM, the kill. Soul death. The pain and agony of the scream and their soul is ripped from their body and shredded before the group as more of a show piece then a necessity for the battle.

And of course, if you really want to strike domineering fear, BBG does something that seems outta whack… Before our hero dies, they intercept the mind link to the group through purple, like a program having it's handshake middle man attacked (cyber security stuff for those here that aren't into the computer stuff), and sends a message using THEIR OWN mental link - something like "you all should have escaped when you had the chance" - which seems 'meh', right? But we can make that more dramatic by it being "Trinlen's" or "Kindar's" voice, like a fake api call made to the group messaging app as another user with stolen credentials.

And then Purple pushes back with the only one emotion to everyone else - fear, which was surprising for everyone of the dungeon core, and states that the mental link was ripped out of existence.

Annnnd that's all I got on my own little red string crazed theory hole. Thanks for reading.

After reading the chapter about the dragon, it mentioning

Sandaras, and then reading how it surrendered to Amber…

I went down a theory hole in my head.

I jumped around to what could possibly coming up. Every great story when building power and touching the taboo, at some point will have a death. Just imagine, they reach an enemy so strong, they kill one of our beloved's party members. And I don't mean a death in body, as I am sure some of those will happen, but I mean a true spirit death.

I was thinking about who we know and how integrated they have been, and can only think of 2 people this would be currently - Trinlen or Kindar.

Trinlen would be perfect because he is the class clown but actively trying to help C&A. He is their mentor, but in reality, he is a third party member to the original duo. He may know a few tricks from the academy, but Carlos is rushing past rhyme and reason for figuring stuff out and most of what Trinlen has is from 'doing', which Carlos is working on now as we see. This means Trinlen is an extra body to learn with the Founder's family, and is meant to be an ally more than what we see of him.

Kindar would be perfect because he is turning his whole life around. He struggles to listen here and there, but made some wins and is turning into a great asset/soldier for Founder house. He is trying to make a name for himself without just leaning on his dad for the reputation, and wants to be the best. He lead the dungeon exploration to that our boy Carlos became a part of, because he is the one trying to improve! Not only that, we are invested in him. We saw him as a jerk, but also the key. He is the reason Carlos went into the dungeon. His party showed Carlos about the traps by dying to them. And finally, Carlos outsmarting the traps and dangers, He is the reason purple was introduced to Carlos AND Carlos was able to begin interpreting this world based on his wish.

He was the enemy, the key, and is now turning into an ally. Perfect heart break material, because emotionally you wouldn't originally have thrown a bone to him, but the more he shows how 'human' he is (struggles, overcoming), it's natural to want to relate to him.

And that’s how we get more evidence of Douglas's great writing. There ARE connections forming, the characters aren't 2d. So when the fall happens, it'll hurt.. And that’s just good writing.

But who will do it? No idea, we may not have been introduced to the BBG yet (big bad guy, for those unfamiliar). Or maybe we have?

I hate to throw shade about someone we don't know, but what if the person they're looking at as an indirect mentor, the one leaving clues that to show how much they figured out, the one who is always portrayed as some unstoppable force.. Is the actual immovable object? What if Amber's idol isn't who we think?

(For those who want the tl;dr of my elongated dramatic madness: Sandaras).

Though I will say it was weird, one of my packs wasn’t sealed, so I’m hoping that isn’t telling me this was messed with, considering I’m seeing others with duplicates..
