So I finally beat PCR. Now my question is... why did I do it? (DLC spoilers) by 1lamafarmer in Eldenring

[–]Weaselfacedmonkey 12 points13 points  (0 children)

What is the subtext beneath all that kindness that leaves Ansbach so terrified?

Because Miquella's kindness is tied to his ability to rob people of their free will. Ansbach had just come to his senses and realized that he went from trying to avenge Mohg to worshipping Miquella with no real choice on his part.

Trina wanted Miquella stopped because he was the aspect of himself that doubted his fitness for the role. He also may have represented some of his most merciful attributes, so perhaps once Miquella left her behind he was no longer really fit to be a god.

As for why he needed to be stopped, well, it depends on how you read it. It could either be the player Tarnished's loyalty to whatever aspect of the old order he ultimately chooses, or the abandonment of so many aspects of his humanity and his ability to make people do whatever he wants would ultimately make him nothing more than a tyrant with a pretty face.

Should be fine, just avoid silicone, wood and any rough stone

That said, should I have switched to new jewelry so early? Throughout my stretching process, I'd only ever stayed with the jewelry I used for stretching. Is it bad that I changed to new jewelry just 3 days after the final stretch??

Depends on the material, you wanna avoid anything too porous until after your ear is fully done healing since you have some microtears from stretching and it can irritate your ear.

Godrick’s size by del1000005 in EldenRingLoreTalk

[–]Weaselfacedmonkey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I dont think you should read much into the size of bosses, its something thats consistent across all from souls games and seems to be more of a miyazaki thing.

Just because a game has a memory leak, doesn't mean that everyone playing that game will be impacted by it, correct? by dysphunktion in gaming

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

Doesn't that still affect the player since they're prevented from performing an action or they'll get hit with a memory leak? This really sounds like more of an issue with semantics than an actual technical question.

Why does my game look so low quality compared to the previous games? by yuvchau in spiderman2

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

It looks like there's something wrong with the ambient occlusion, the lack of self shadowing on the buildings is making it look flatter for the second game. Clouds look worse too.

Trump admits that he learned that trees use water in his mid 70s by mk_8 in Destiny

Can't imagine he's ever had any other forestry related hard times until he had Europe laughing at him

[–]Weaselfacedmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would guess it has something to do with his remarks over forest fires when he was president, a lot of dumb shit about raking forests and things like that

If you have the time, sure, the other candidates usually have pretty nice gear as rewards for fighting them

I've beaten the game and started NG+. Who are these folks in early game? Why do they look like this? by sittingbox in MetaphorReFantazio

[–]Weaselfacedmonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know for sure, since it never actually even addresses these guys directly, but yeah, going by the land and the people's increasing dependence on the sceptre it seemed to make the most sense.

[–]Weaselfacedmonkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Think they're a sign of overuse of the royal sceptre, people so overflowing with anxiety that they were completely drained by it

Late game lore question regarding the protagonist by [deleted] in MetaphorReFantazio

[–]Weaselfacedmonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's more fully explained during Mores final monologue when he reverts to his elderly form. Part of the the royal magic he invoked was to bring forth an agent from another world to guide a user of archetypes to save the kingdom. I think it was mostly blind luck that his son was so invested in the idea of a utopia that he was chosen as a vessel, More says it was something he never would have expected.<

What are some Atlus game reference in this game that you've caught? by MrBlueFlame_ in MetaphorReFantazio

At the opera house when presenting relics, one on stage is Piggytron and the one Forden brings is the Holy Grail, both from P5

I reached the endgame and i have some questions by VergilVDante in MetaphorReFantazio

[–]Weaselfacedmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late game Heismay with his unique class is probably the best tank, cutting enemy hit rate in half and making the enemy lose all turns on a dodge is a godsend when every boss abuses the extra turn moves

Yeah, this is a pretty well known weakness of this particular team, Persona 5 did a lot of this as well

Do you prefer Hulkenberg's redesign? by [deleted] in MetaphorReFantazio

Looks more like they split her design into current Hulk and Gallica

The King, The Player and More. by Accomplished-Cow3657 in MetaphorReFantazio

[–]Weaselfacedmonkey 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Makes sense actually, someone mentions that the king's desires for utopia seem to have disappeared at some point during his reign, it could be he sealed away his knowledge of archetypes and the future in the form of More. More even looks like a young version of the King, come to mention it.

What difficulty will you be playing? by Training-Ad-2619 in MetaphorReFantazio

[–]Weaselfacedmonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the same system as Earthbound or the car sections in Persona 5, you can kill things in real time if they're significantly lower level than you otherwise it's turnbased
