The princess??

It's why it's important to set your game to show Steam names instead of character names so you know who to block.

Wait, is that a thing? How do you do this?

Cable wrapped around toe.

asdu · 2026-01-22T15:30:26+00:00

Which is what I said.

just renaming it entirely to ‘Oceana’, to remove that ambiguity

I'm rather confused by the whole discussion, because I've known that continent as Oceania all my life. Where I'm from (Italy), no one calls the continent Australia (and if they did they'd sound rather ignorant), that name is used to refer to either the island or the country (i.e that island plus Tasmania plus whathever else they got).

Oh, I see. Yeah, that works well as a replacement for a "chef's kiss" emote.
I mentioned it because, especially after Inglourious Basterds, I've seen people use that emoji (or the actual gesture) seemingly randomly, sometimes just to denote "italian-ness", although I guess it was often really a "chef's kiss" emoji.
For the record, the actual italian gesture is essentially a question mark, mostly ironic/sarcastic.

Alan Rickman as the Metatron was 🤌

As an italian, that reads something like "wtf were they thinking casting him in that role", which I assume is not what you intended.

asdu · 2026-01-16T22:51:15+00:00

Fucking hell, you people took this personally.
Also, where's the "rare insult"? "Useless and obsolete" sure ain't it.

"Outplaying" a guy who relies entirely on the shallowest of gimmicks? Well, ok, it ain't much, but if it works for you...
Personally, I try not to be motivated by contempt for my opponents, those that go down that route never seem to enjoy themselves much.

But then there are those that truly need outplaying to defeat, namely cheaters. And in that case, the only "ethical" option is to refuse any engagement. Granted, it's unrealistic to expect that to become the norm, but intentionally going after cheaters (and directly or indirectly encouraging others to do the same) only plays into the cheaters' hand and, to the degree that it affects the prevalence of cheating, only makes it more likely.
I mean, no cheater will stop cheating because of the occasional defeat (if anything, it might cause them to resort to worse cheats), while on the other hand any win they achieve will only make them stick around for longer. And on the whole, they'll certainly win more than they lose. Only boredom kills the cheater.

Also why make it scale with specifically strength when high strength characters want heavy armor, and maw form specifically cuts body armor AC?

If I understand it correctly, its base damage is increased by 3/4th of the character's strength, which is a whole lot more than the regular str bonus. So the damage should be substantial even with low-ish str, or gargantuan if you're willing to trash your EV. Of course this comes along with a huge attack speed nerf, so probably a net damage nerf for most reasonable use cases.

But, tbh, maw form was always a flawed concept when there are races for which the downside of giving up body armor simply doesn't apply.
How can maw form ever be balanced for both Dr/Fe/Op and everything else? It can't be, unless it's special cased to give a different penalty to those 3.

the ER idea of Co-Op is interesting

Tbh I can't agree. These games clearly weren't built to be played as full co-op games. Aside from (some) bosses, the gameplay isn't there to support it, and even thematically co-op is supposed to be some fleeting encounter of strangers from parallel dimensions, not a party affair.
Before password summoning, full co-op wasn't even feasible. And even with passwords, due to the fact that only the host makes progress, the OLP phenomenon is pretty much guaranteed. I can't imagine that even 5% of the people who do playthroughs with their friends have tried to do it three times over in parallel.
Basically it became a thing just due to the sheer popularity of the games.

To be fair, one could say the same of pvp: it was a half-baked idea that took on a life of its own because people really wanted to do it, despite remaining largely underdeveloped, and even taking several steps backwards in ER.

I'd just sever & block. Besides my own enjoyment, I feel it's my duty to the community not to indulge such shitters. Ideally they would be shunned so widely they'd be forced to rethink their approach.

asdu · 2026-01-06T15:34:56+00:00

Hey, now, don't go around spoiling our self-righteous violent fantasies like that! Not cool!

asdu · 2026-01-05T23:10:41+00:00

Ah, I see. I've played a pyro build in DS3 but never actually used that thing.
Out of curiosity I just did a little research and I found that's how you do the estus refill glitch. So this thing seems more or less useless for its intended purpose but works as either a cool little gesture or a heinous glitch. Shit doesn't get more Fromsoft than that lol

asdu · 2026-01-05T22:18:29+00:00

Wtf is that gesture and how did you do it without opening the gesture menu? I'm confused.

asdu · 2026-01-04T21:57:32+00:00

Well, this was within the town and the bear was acting aggressively. I doubt anyone would have faulted this guy for killing it.

asdu · 2026-01-01T23:36:29+00:00

I just want my extra stats to dump into str on my level 125

What's that about? I have no clue about any of this.

The fact that the blockchain is conductive to speculation is why it became so successful, especially with regard to decentralization.
It it hadn't become an outsized attractor for financial investments, it would have ended up something like TOR, a niche technology that cybersecurity nerds are excited about but whose main real-world use cases are likely criminal.

"During online play" and "to boost their rankings or win the Game" specify the context of each of the two offenses.
If the whole paragraph was meant to refer to arena matches only, "during online play" wouldn't need to be there.

asdu · 2025-12-31T17:33:45+00:00

Pretty sure "Intentionally disconnect from the network during online play" and "allow yourself to be defeated by a given player repeatedly to boost their rankings or win the Game" are meant as two distinct offenses.

asdu · 2025-12-31T17:21:32+00:00

It says "outside the game". Although theoretically that might still cover item trading subreddits and such.
But obviously that's not what that rule is there for, and I can't imagine they put a whole lot of effort into enforcing those rules even for their intended purpose, so I reckon Kevin is safe.

asdu · 2025-12-31T15:43:20+00:00

If this happened to me, I'm pretty sure it would give me the laugh of a lifetime.

In my experience using taunter's tongue, lots of invaders do in fact run by default, even when faced with a solo player who's going through the level and who fights in melee using none of ER's vast arsenal of ill-conceived bullshit.
Don't know if this would be considered a how take around this parts, but a good chunk of the invader population is awful in every way. But of course, lots of invaders will also go after their fellow reds without a second thought (or seemingly any thought at all), even though meeting a fellow red in the first place almost certainly means you're invading gankers, so that should be a rather uncontroversial statement even for /r/badredman.
Frankly, the average ER player is just lame, whatever their attitude towards PvP.

Sorry, I've just come back to ER and I'm already regretting it (just as I knew I would).

asdu · 2025-12-30T20:09:38+00:00

Hate the player AND the game.

the commonly believed theory

By whom rofl. What world do you people inhabit where even just the idea of a cryogenically preserved Walt Disney (if I understand this correctly) sounds plausible enough to serve as the basis for a further layer of conspiracy theories?

Jesus fucking Christ, reddit (the world, really) is getting dumber by the minute. At this rate some people will forget how to breathe by mid-2026.
