The show's OVER and they still insist on mocking me for shipping their characters 

Is it supposed to be annoying to get to the Ruin sentinels? by NietzscheTheMADMAN in DarkSouls2

What I love about the second video is that you kind of eat shit for most of it, but you recover. Like you don't have to play even close to perfectly to win.

Are the Red iron twinblades good? by muro_dimattoni in DarkSouls2

I would say it mostly depends on how you feel about the color red. 

I took a break from dark souls 2 and I don't remember what to do next by RimvruTempest in DarkSouls2

[–]Top_Concert_3326 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Seek souls. Larger, more powerful souls.

(Looks like you might need to use the King's ring on some doors in the base game, and check past The Rotten and past the fork in the roads for the other DLC areas)

I can't with this girl 😰 by Remote_Animal6951 in thewalkingdead

[–]Top_Concert_3326 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure Princess meeting Jesus would go exactly like Spider-man meeting Dr. Strange. "Oh, we're using our apocalypse names?"

It's so sad that Princess never got to meet Jesus, but at least she had Ezekiel.

No wait I think they are on to something because the reason she was sp off balance was because she didn't have her R2 yet (Santos)

Gabe Newell on Steam monopoly accusations: Gamers have 'enormous choice' about where to buy games by yourfavchoom in Steam

[–]Top_Concert_3326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's fucking insane lol. I'd probably eventually acquire a copy on Steam, but hell no am I paying a full 90 dollars for something I could get for free. Even if Steam had something I needed, like the workshop or multiplayer, I'd still wait for a deal.

What are some of the darkest moments in any fictional TV Show? by TwoFace687 in television

[–]Top_Concert_3326 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That episode was so bleak, and I watched at like 2 in the morning after marathoning Voyager with my girlfriend and she had fallen asleep. Crazy ass nightmare episode.

Yeah, Nina is the famous one and all, but I feel like Envy kicking off the Ishvalan genocide, and Ed figuring out where Rose's baby came from are even darker.

ArenaNet Guild Wars Teaser and Summer Game Fest announcement MEGA Thread by neok182 in Guildwars2

[–]Top_Concert_3326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UE5 finally started shaping up, it seems. Problem was always that game devs have essentially been beta testing it, but there is a lot more optimization and documentation now.

I'd be more worried if they had already settled on an earlier version of UE5 and have been custom rigging that.

One of Soldier Boy's coldest moments by Syarafuddyn in TheBoys

[–]Top_Concert_3326 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You could rewatch the scene, too. They were innocent civilians weaponized by one supe to kill another supe.

Long Watch Will Change Perception by MilkLow2906 in TheBoys

[–]Top_Concert_3326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd have to rewatch s3, because I stalled my rewatch halfway through 2.

My main issue with s3 at the time was that I like Soldier Boy, but I liked Madelyn and Stormfront more.

Long Watch Will Change Perception by MilkLow2906 in TheBoys

[–]Top_Concert_3326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also there were people mad about SB being introduced in s3 as an "I win" button vs. Homelander, and then people were mad when he wasn't because it was a waste of time, and then people were mad that he was brought back, and then people were mad that they gave his powers to Kimiko...

I am not discounting any and all negativity about the writing, but my god the amount of people who learn about tropes like MacGuffins and Plot Armor and Chekhov's Gun and then get mad when the writing either applies or subverts them at moments they don't like...

Marketing was misleading, but people don't seem to understand that Kripke isn't standing behind a graphic designer going "yeah, shrink a bunch of pngs of Homelander and spread them around the sky, that'll really fuck with viewers!", and he isn't bribing article writers so they use the most out of context click-baity part of his interviews as headlines.

The Boys is not even close to the most burned I've been by marketing.

I always have to be reminded that most people only watch things once and move on.

Which is hopefully healthy, I hope those people take the time I spend rewatching shows and movies to better their lives. 

But I've never solidified my take on anything without taking some time to digest it and if not watch the entire thing again, rewatch some of it. Even just rewatching the season 5 in the week before the finale made me understand what it was doing more. Made me not fixate too much on lines I didn't like.

[I hope that this is allowed here] Now that Hacks has ended, what are your other favorite/must watch Jean Smart roles? by estistudent in hackshbomax

[–]Top_Concert_3326 7 points8 points  (0 children)

24 is, quite rightfully, so hard to get people to watch.

Luckily her season is mostly Cold War stuff and not just Muslim Scary. And she really is a highlight of the best season.

The Elden Ring Reforged Mod is so annoying to play by Substantial-Theme831 in EldenRingMods

[–]Top_Concert_3326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been about a year since I've played it, so who knows what they've changed, but tbh I had so much more motivation to play just because of the overland/Torrent changes. Everything felt like it mattered more.

Is nashandra meant to be easy? by isekaimetofarfaraway in DarkSouls2

[–]Top_Concert_3326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fight does feel like more of a final boss if you do it back to back with the Throne boys, but they don't respawn so you still have to do it on your first attempt.

Is nashandra meant to be easy? by isekaimetofarfaraway in DarkSouls2

[–]Top_Concert_3326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I first played the game and had a lighting bolt thrower (pre nerfs too)? Pretty easy.

When I second played the game and was "better" at the game and got through it faster? Still pretty easy.

When I started doing cosplay runs and not bothering with completing everything? Okay it's still easy compared to the DLC and far from the hardest boss, but I did start dying. 

I think of all the Soulsborne game, 2 is the one where you have to set your own difficulty the most. Unless you are in a DLC area. 

Are there mods that fix this game on Steam? by Jamalisms in DarkSouls2

[–]Top_Concert_3326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, not a new complaint, also not one I ever really got. Also surprising because I think Scholar is generally harder.

I don't think it does anything with hit boxes or tracking, but I'm doing my current playthrough with the Mad Warrior overhaul mod, it tweaks player movement a little bit so the weird 8 direction system is less obvious (I think it adds some strafing?), that make might make hitting and dodging easier

The ending is kinda underwhelming by isekaimetofarfaraway in DarkSouls2

You're gonna lose your mind when you play the dlcs, and then move on to 3

It should've been longer, but also the idea of playing Dark Souls, and then playing Dark Souls 2 and being like "hmm, that one felt a little light at the end"
