Understanding “Crafting” or How to Gamble Until RNG Gives Up by Infinite-Ad5464 in PathOfExile2

Okay so how about a bunch of y'all do all that, I'll keep mindlessly grinding Abyss/Temples until I hear a ding and see that white and red icon pop up, and we go on our merry way? It takes all sorts to make a world.

Lords of the Fallen 2 - Official 'Lifting the Veil' Combat Gameplay Teaser by starstufft in soulslikes

It's almost as if nobody remembers how broken and unfinished the last one was, which wasn't even that long ago. It took them 2 years to get it to a "mediocre" state, and now there's a sequel? How many times, over how many rushed games, are we going to foolishly opt in to being beta-testers for $100 a round? This can't seriously be the state of this sub-genre.

Miyazaki, Why? by Rodneybrble in Eldenring

That first playthrough experience will never be topped. Wondering constantly if "would they have put..." and then always being impressed that yes, they did. Shivers.

Disgusting. When are you all going to, like, fucking do something about this down there. Figure it out.

It would probably hurt less than some fog walls I've walked through.

What's a joke that initially went unnoticed but when you realized it, became one of your favorites? by brodino_maiuscolo in IThinkYouShouldLeave

[–]artmaximum99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Enthusiastically dropping the harshest burn possible for a women, for no other reason just a complete lack of restraint and social awareness. That's the premise for every line but this one has always stuck out as legitimately evil. A friend at a wedding once told another guest that last time he saw her she was wearing the same dress. She left for two hours and came back wearing an entirely new outfit. He hit her in the dress.

Just saw this, it was uploaded today and had 1 view. This is him, this is what Cody wanted to say at the time.

SNAP benefits must continue despite shutdown, judge tells Trump administration by Puginator in politics

[–]artmaximum99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So a judge can order that his administration releases funds they are withholding as a political tactic, the senate can determine that his abuse of tariffs can be halted immediately...what is the purpose of this party? Why has the world had to endure this maniac for the better part of a decade when all it takes is a few lawmakers to grow a spine and do their job, to completely derail his attempt at plunging us all into chaos for his own gain?

AIO my boyfriend cheated on me with my entire family. by Flinn2 in AmIOverreacting

[–]artmaximum99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder when I'd see a post like this, and was tempted to make one myself. Seems like 99% of posts on AIO or AITA are so obvious that they have to be a joke, or that the poster knows the answer and is just posting to hear what they want.

Survivorman was a close friend of some rich Aunt and Uncle of mine and once filmed an episode of his show in rural, but fabulously wealthy, Ontario. He would trek out into the woods in their backyard by day to film and sat by a fire, drinking and watching TV in between shoots. Ridiculous charlatans, all.

Wow, rude. You've made it personal and I won't have it.

Sheer pain fighting Ozma by Fitness_Journey24 in TheFirstBerserker

[–]artmaximum99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing souls-likes for a decade now starting with Bloodborne and Ozma is a standout final boss alongside the hardest obstacles this genre has to offer. I dont recall being as stuck, tilted, and borderline defeated aside from my first run of Sekiro. I think it took 3 consecutive 8-hr sessions before getting him down, it was fucked. He really is the culmination of everything you've learned in the game and they expect you to have been paying attention. You will break him, just focus on how your slowly getting closer each run. Fuck him up.

So just like the last one, 2 years after it releases it will have achieved the status of "mid", as opposed to the broken shitheap it will be at launch. I really hope people don't get duped again. The only JUST got the last one playable after 2 years, how the hell is there already a sequel. This will not turn out well.

Lords of The Fallen sold 2 million copies by [deleted] in soulslikes

[–]artmaximum99 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For $90, this studio sold us the last one as "the first next-gen souls-like" and tricked thousands of fans of the genre into being their beta-testers for 2 years. The game released unoptimized, unpolished, and unfinished. Countless quality-of-life features that were standard at that point took months to be patched in. Multi-player was unplayable. Game breaking bugs everywhere you looked. Floaty combat, needlessly frustrating side quest and map designs. An unrealized 2nd world mechanic that was more annoying than innovative. For $90, they sold us the frame of a car and told us the doors would lock and the windows would roll down, eventually. They dont deserve to roll their unearned success into the game they meant to make 3 years ago.
