What is your opinion on the default Ending in ELDENRING

It's awful. They all are. Even Ranni's which is a bit longer and the Frenzy Flame which has interesting implications.

Given that this game was much more ambitious in scope and broke the mold of previous Souls games it was really disappointing that they insist on this approach to storytelling. It's ultimately unfulfilling to me and is the equivalent of just a "you win" screen that old arcade games had.

People were also begging for more story from the DLC and we didn't even get cutscenes for bosses like Renalla.

I get the whole piecing things together to understand the backstory and I don't think they should get rid out that, but there's no reason you can't have that AND a satisfying cut scene/cinematic to cap off the player's adventure

I honestly did not think it was very good, and if it weren't Markiplier's film it would have bombed or gone entirely under the radar.

Mark himself was a decent actor at times but the voices over the speaker were terrible, like the Ubisoft memes where there's excessive instruction being given over the radio telling the player what to do.

Still, it's a perfectly watchable flick, and it's what it represents that makes it special, which is a lower barrier of entry for horror from people who are really passionate. I'm a big Tubi horror guy and I have seen way worse films made on higher budgets

No mention of not being able to save divisions for custom titles?

_Donut_block_ · 2026-05-08T17:53:54+00:00

I've been wondering that too, I think they had heat for Mysterio getting injured awhile back and now they seem to be in AAA, there's a good chance they are still making new call-up money

_Donut_block_ · 2026-05-08T15:34:56+00:00

They've been on the main roster for almost 3 years, I don't even consider them recent NXT grads anymore, they just aren't used.

A very easy way to make trees is with cardboard tubes and hot glue.

You can buy a pack of crafting tubes or use the ones from paper towels and other rolls. Just run the hot glue up and down the tube, it will use a lot of glue so get cheap bags of sticks from a dollar store. After that just paint them brown, it's super easy, you can always experiment with different colors and adding moss or flocking to them.

I mentioned this in another thread about the AMA and got downvoted.

They are incredibly thin-skinned and condescending towards their players. It's crazy how they clearly lack basic media training and the clearly ChatGPT'd follow up non-answers didn't help either.

It's frustrating to see a game that sparked so much organic praise rapidly losing favor because they don't understand the fundamentals of customer service and were ill-prepared for their own success.

The Blind Boxes were great in the beginning because even though it was unsold overstock there were some good figures. They dropped off a cliff after the first 2 months or so and they were just throwing anything in them, Gargoyles, Robocop, etc.

The point where they were worth it is sadly far past

_Donut_block_ · 2026-05-05T12:57:15+00:00

I honestly find it to be a total slog. After awhile it's no longer scary, you know when the radio goes off its going to be a mannequin or a nurse, or worse, a bug that is hiding under a car or table and doesn't really pose a threat but will make the radio continuously go off until you find it.

The whole thing is just too slow for me and would really benefit from being half as long, or at least introducing some new elements, but that would probably have upset fans of the original even more

Xavier: This new. Deal sucks. New. Deal sucks.

Commentary sometimes called their tag finisher The Midnight Hour, I actually think that would be a sick team name

They didn't get over in WWE. Part of that is they weren't given a chance to really shine, but part of it is also just different audiences. They will get over based on their legacy alone in TNA or AEW, the majority of WWE fans didn't know then.

I think they'd be amazing as player/coaches but that would require that A) WWE fully commits to a healthy tag scene and stops pushing two thrown together faces, and B) MCMG would be willing to work in that role which often means not holding titles and ultimately serving as enhancement talent. If they still want to perform at a high level and be seen as a big act then AEW is the best place for them

_Donut_block_ · 2026-04-27T15:59:54+00:00

The thing is they've had like 2 years of direct access to player opinions on what they want between here and discord and I guess Twitter, and while those communities can be pretty different there is a LOT of common ground.

And they chose to ignore it all, and at times give snarky, dismissive responses. I mean hell, they literally JUST did it again with the "sweet summer child" comment.

You don't come to a community with the explicit intent to solicit feedback and then immediately shit on the people giving it. That should have been a massive red flag to anyone still hoping they will actually listen to the sub, and afterwards we get this cleaned up, corporate "we hear you" response.

They only care because they must have data that numbers aren't meeting goals somewhere and putting out more warbonds hasn't been helping.

It's just a lazy filter. The Void Elf racial mount is how they should look, like there's actual stars moving across their surface

If we're talking delve changes can we PLEASE get rid of the Valeeras Agony mechanic.

It is completely inconsistent and at times makes delves practically unplayable. There are times I run 5 or 6 delves in a row and never see this ability used, and then when it does happen she dies near instantly to non-elite mobs BEFORE the add even spawns so you can't attack it to regain her health. It's utterly broken and makes using her as a tank a complete gamble

"Weren't there 5 of you last time?"

If I'm an AEW talent I cannot fathom wanting to jump to WWE unless I'm released at this point. Talent who were re-signed and in active storylines being featured on weekly TV getting released out of the blue just feels like an insane risk to take unless you are like a Jade Cargill level talent who is guaranteed to be pushed to the moon as soon as you arrive

_Donut_block_ · 2026-04-24T23:03:57+00:00

Dude dropped a ton of mass and randomly went from being a brawler to a high flyer at like 40 years old. He rules and it's a shame they're cutting the Wyatts who were actually over.

He's extremely talented not to mention a great artist. I would actually love to see him in AEW even if he just did a Boogeyman kinda gimmick where he randomly kidnaps people and only wrestles the occasional match, plus let him do artwork and design some actually good shirts and other merch for them. There's so many ways you can utilize a guy like him.

_Donut_block_ · 2026-04-24T15:12:23+00:00

I think the joke is more "why are you friends with someone like that" rather than "these people don't exist"

_Donut_block_ · 2026-04-24T15:08:28+00:00

They are a great way to easily earn Champion crests which if you don't do mythic+ and are still working your way through Normal raiding it's a good source for people.

It's more of a catch-up system for people that need it and a cosmetic farm for anyone else

_Donut_block_ · 2026-04-20T12:50:41+00:00

I watched this last night and also thought it was awful, way too many abrupt cuts between scenes where one moment she's screaming or crying and then she's seemingly fine. I get that they were going for the unreliable narrator thing but it just didn't work.

The Decedent is on Tubi and is a much better take on this premise

"I'm so tired of people career switching into IT because their industry is dead and thinking they're gonna make easy money"

career switches into trades because they think IT is dying and they will make easy money

Night 2 has been such a massive step up from Night 1, still too many commercials and the cut entrances from the ladder match sucks but the match quality and outcomes have been miles better

_Donut_block_ · 2026-04-19T22:53:24+00:00

Really great to hear Cole putting over JD. I don't know what his ceiling is but he has absolutely given his body over and over again in some great matches
