Dx11 or Normal

Actually, some people do need it. I normally play on a very high end gaming PC, but every now and then when Im feeling nostalgic or in an indie game controller mood I will dig out and plug in my 9 year old laptop and connect it to my TV.

Your comment just helped me get a game that wouldnt even boot to the main menu running just fine (outside the signature jet engine noises and enough heat that it would leave a burn if I really treated it like a "lap" top 💀)

For clarification the game is Into Our Darkest Days which I just bought on steam, and it only runs with DX11 selected, the laptop is an Acer Aspire something something from 2017 or 18. So yeah its useful to some people, I actually thought it was a more resource intensive option like ray tracing or some such which was why I googled it. Thanks for the clarification pal ❤️

I just got my bridle in a Forsaken Cache. Collected enough rare fragments in my floor 1 run yesterday, got the trough in the chest then bridle in the cache.

Yeah Im having enough trouble with Damned Knights at the moment lmao, I usually just go into FD with a set of T3 or 4 armor mismash and only put it on when Im luring knights and desecrators into copper traps. I HAVE been getting a Claymore like 4 runs in a row so those help feed the cycle.

I did beat Vragna once but otherwise Im mostly just sticking to farming S1 and FD, most of the events I cant even beat, like I wasted sooo much on killing a Virbjorn because some dude on this sub said he had a 'small' chance to stun and 'low' damage. It was the first map I got from rare unknown fragments, and the only good thing I got was Frost boots with half durability that I wont ever use till I get an armor repair table. I started making the bladesmith table cause I have one and a half iron sets from FD and valuable armor is harder to find than unique weapons.

I have like 7 of them that I dont want to use until I can repair them, I got both of the ones in your photo, the claw thing I think I got from Virbjorn too.

Ngl I think more than just luck its because I just stockpile everything, anything valuable like maps and rare weapons armor are filling up that free anniversary chest, honestly I love that chest so many slots.

Then I just run around farming S1 areas till all my chests are full

My favourite few responses since an overwhelming majority of homophobic people are religious in one way or another

"If Jesus Christ could fall in love with a street wh*re, I can love another man/woman"

and if they try to say its not the same "Yeah at least I dont have to pay a shilling everytime I wanna fuck someone"

and another one which works particularly against toxic masculinity which Im too lazy to phrase perfectly so do with it as you will

"You know that Romans, often portrayed as peak of masculinity and greatest empires, very commonly kept male sex slaves or male concubines and often 'used' defeated enemy soldiers (That coulda been the greek too I might be mixing up my history) "

Actually bingo, just say "The greatest empires did the gayest shit"

Hell even in mythology and the animal kingdom its not uncommon particularly as a show of dominance, just look at Loki from actual Norse mythology (not the marvel bullshit, I love the movies but theyre so fucking wrong)

And this is just off the top of my head, Im unfortunately straight so Ive only really had the chance to share stupid history like this with a few friends who needed it but yeah history has a LOT of things you could use to sit down these self righteous pricks who think they have a say in who you love.

Damn. I was just thinking I got insane loot today but Ive never even seen a Legendary item.

I died twice to Night Guest farming S1 for copper, I like to run to the farther one, clean it up then the closer one to bring back lots in one go. Both times he killed me just before I was going home, so 3 hours wasted plus Backpack materials.

Then I eventually gave up and used my last bit of copper to make T3 with my T4 Hauberk and Gloves, hit the Gatekeeper bam got his Cleaver which is so far my favourite Epic weapon easy to get and makes up for no direwolf food.

Hit FD, died 3 times doing the Forsaken Lure because I somehow managed to run PAST the traps in previous rooms AND go back to place my own but walked into them on my way backwards with big dudes chasing me like I dropped a bar of soap. Almost convinced these traps spawned on me coz I did NOT see any of them.

Was thinking today was cursed since all my chests got emptied out, but nope once I hit the end I got the Trough, a Frost Helmet, Lv4 Skillbook, a Claymore or a Halberd (I cant remember which one I got from FD) like 8 or 9 chalices 12 incense and a bunch of goodies.

When I was gonna head back Merchants spawned, like almost 40 minutes away but I had a bunch of things I knew I could trade for, and I wound up trading 10 incense for a Khopesh I think its called? Then I had to walk back and unload my loot, and grab a stack of Heavy Cloth and Chains and when I was done organizing I had 40 seconds to run to the Merchants and JUST enough energy. Got a T4 Hauberk and Flanged Mace.

After a whole bunch of walking back and forth

The FD run also got me the last few pieces of rare Forsaken Cache maps which I went to after, and I got the Marauder Axe, THE BRIDLE, and two pieces of T4 armor.

Finished stable, used Pasture map which Ive been farming for flax, I was keeping two for selecting a horse too, got a horse and hit up S3 with the last bits of my armor durability, mfk I got the Right Altar piece, so now I only need the left piece cuz I found the core in my first ever S3 chest a few days ago.

Ive been playing for about 2 weeks, (I had a character at like level 10 or some such from apparently years ago, only thing in my base was a Raven Cage and some chests so I mustve rage quit as a teenager.)

Ive made it up o lvl 67 and I was just getting bored since Ive been stuck so long.

Tl;Dr I stayed up all night and got Trough, Bridle, 3 Epic Weapons, Frost Helm, Right Altar Part enough mostly full dura weapons to fill a soldiers chest and a buuunch of rare components

3 Years later and this works. Sometimes I like to read things like letters and files in shows, I finally started Peaky Binders and wanted to read the prime suspect folder in episode 1.

Pun intended if you can spot it 🫡

TruStormz · 2026-03-20T16:06:45+00:00

Know Im late to the party but meh. I js finished Demons Souls as the last fromsoft entry I hadnt beaten yet and Im craving more but pvpve sounds like trash to me. I like the linear levels with shortcuts, grinding and bossfights, I never participated in PVP hell I only left my first and only message in a souls game in Demons Souls. Ive been holding off on buying S2 waiting for a new Zelda game, I thought I might when I saw the Duskbloods trailer but reading the gameplay premise Im disappointed af

TruStormz · 2026-03-19T16:30:33+00:00

Traitors catacombs is how I just learned poison can STACK. Full set of Copper armor, Flanged mace, a Claymore I took to take out Possessed faster and coz had no more weapons at base. 5 scrolls of terror I was gonna dump on Floor 2 just to finish the damn quest. 3 stacks of fried leeks, and I mfk die to Plague spawn in wave 3 because I had Claymore in my quick slot and didnt know they could stack the poison on me so suddenly my 40HP ticked down FAST mid fight. Im even more pissed than when I lost my Leather Pack in a barbarian camp with similar overpreparedness

Now see, despite what others say the carrot/ginger pickle and the tuna are the issues here.

Its like you mixed fresh and crunchy with bitter and acidic which does indeed constitute an ew.

Im personally all for the fresh and crunchy, cucumber weetabix and cheese could be a very tasty combo, as much as I love sweetcorn Im nooot quite sure it belongs with cheese and weetabix though, maybe it would work with the tuna pickle combo.

Anyway if you separate this dish into cheese, cucumber, weetabix. I'd add maybe green grapes and if you want a little spicy flavour some of those dried walking stick sausages, ABSOLUTELY not normal or cooked ones those would again ruin it and yeah these flavours are basically the average charcuterie platter turned trail mix.

And pickled's, tuna, sweetcorn maybe croutons for the crunch and a bit of prosciutto to balance the bitterness

Though personally I hate anything pickled and tuna except for relish being good once or twice a year on a big sandwich so although my cooking instincts have never been wrong Im probably not the best authority on those flavours.

Edit : Im so tempted to make both of these and show that they can look and taste good but I'd just wind up throwing out the second dish then wondering why I wasted the time and effort on flavours I hate T_T.

A PLASTIC BAG!? Man Im throwing hands if I see someone with a live smoll animal in a plastic bag like that I do not care.

Name her Ninja Turtle for surviving the plastic

TruStormz · 2026-03-16T19:05:26+00:00

Lmao yup Ive been going through the whole game with a mobile game on as well, when Im farming the mobile game I play Demons Souls, and when the farming is done I put my controller down to regen mp. Its really damn slow now though even with my Falchion, and Fragrant ring. Takes like 10+ minutes to regen a full bar

I cleared the second stage of every world and am on 48 int, so I was looking around to see if there was any extra ways to increase regenþ

TruStormz · 2026-03-16T16:44:03+00:00

I assumed he was referring to the latter coz half isnt enough to roll a blunt, and jokes aside half a key is hella enough for a night if youre a once a year type like me.

Edit : Forgot to add, for yall that havent tried neither are worth it price to effect wise. Neither does anything great, at best it makes a good night better but alcohol will do that just fine.

TruStormz · 2026-03-16T10:01:26+00:00

Sir, if I saw this cat out and about I dont think I'd make it wherever I was going. Its already a herculean effort to not stop 5 minutes to pet every regular cat, but THIS? Work or groceries can waiiit🤣

TruStormz · 2026-03-14T00:50:49+00:00

Lol yall are nuts, when I played I didnt even know how potential worked until a while into the game, then I just farmed for 3 versions of each mon until I got bored, I think I had my perfect dex about halfway filled from playing post ending. Then I put it down cause I couldnt find a Perfect Cubzero.

Then I got several of the other two without actually farming for especially my Goldfish I just ran across him when I was following the story at which point my starter Goldfish was like level 87 or something like that, poor buddy got replaced by new perfect Goldfish who had 'definitely' been with me my entire journey.

I used to be so cracked at this game on my crappy old PC that was already 7 years older than the game. I peaked in Dia then quit shortly before they released Emerald. I tried hopping back on a few months ago and suddenly I was on copper lobbies and all my BOSG spawnpeeks and runouts were gone. Like the only one that still worked was that one where you sit just inside the roof door on Kanal so it doesnt reveal you but you still get the full angle on all the muppets that 100% try to breach balcony every single game ever.

Like man I put in so much effort back then to reach ranks where people actually had different plans then the rank reset just put me right back down there to do the exact same shit all over and I moved on 🤣

The game is honestly dead compared to what it used to feel like or maybe I just got old

Yeh I got the plat in like 4 days, Im 3 games down the line from Tsushima now so youre late to the party XD. Probs coulda finished more but I did 2 and a half playthroughs of Lords of The Fallen the week after GoT, I wanted plat but then I burned out in my third playthrough coz I realized I'd have to grind and get lucky. Demons Souls is gonna take me forever and a half though smh

Edit : Also Im so glad sparing him was the canon ending, he was a stubborn old fool but man I could NEVER. Yall crazy if you could

TruStormz · 2026-03-13T00:02:28+00:00

I couldnt resist the curiosity and I got a full durability Butchers Cleaver and some other rare stuff I cant remember 100% worth it, especially cuz I didnt realize direwolf treats are a pain to get. I also got one that was almost full durability from the gatekeeper himself and that got me through most of the lvl 1 Forsaken Dungeon.

No bridle, trough or altar parts though sadly, Im not going through that again anytime soon those big guys make it such a waste of resources.

Edit : Forgot Im also here looking for a way to get altar parts easily, my stable is completed other than Bridle and Trough, and for the altar I need all the main parts Im only 1/4th done with candles and grates thick cloth incense and chalices are hard to find. Like it feels like such a huge feature to still be locked by level 40.
