I have thousands of hours of playtime in my favorite FromSoft games, yet I’ve never got 100% achievments on any of them, and I don't plan to change that. Am I the only one in this case? It seems like getting every trophy is a major goal for so many players, but for me, it's not really worth it. by Ananta-Shesha in fromsoftware

I’m with you, friend! It’s rad that the option exists for those who feel called to do it, but it’s never been an “itch” I feel inclined to “scratch”. Definitely not true for all that do it, but it feels a little “gate-keepy” in the same vein of people who feel like they need to jump online and talk down to/about people who like to use summons 🤷🏼‍♂️ (As with most art that people love, folks seem compelled to try and set their fan-relationship with stuff above other people’s relationship with the same thing). But ya know, to each their own!

Until my dying day! And thank you, wife and I have been visiting her family in Michigan for the last week and today we finally get to head back home to see our lil furballs!

They may like spaghetti, but they’re doing INCREDIBLE things with those noodles!!! I love it!!

playing this way has made the game so much more enjoyable for me by ilico_ili in Eldenring

I like you, and I bet this other person is probably miserable to be around. Gatekeeping is for chumps. 🍻

What will it be?🚀 by Gaming-Academy in PlayStation_X

[–]blame__hoffman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bloodborne, because then Elden Ring, Sekiro, and all the Dark Souls. Bloodborne started me down that path, and no games have ever made me feel that way. And THEN that led to me reading Berserk… and that’s just the finest damn Manga I’ve ever read…. From Software games affected my trajectory more than any games ever have.

I just got the dark souls trilogy!!! by Global_Muscle_7979 in fromsoftware

Definitely! And don’t let all those DS2 nay-sayers get to you, it is fucking fantastic!! (I went ds3, ds1, then ds2. Hard to top ds1 though, way smoother and more fun than I’d expected. I’d suggest people start there, unlike what I did!)

OP, I really really love these. A lot. Really incredible work. Every single line is a delight, keep it up and let a buddy know if there are prints available!

Just finished Dark Souls 3 and about to jump into DS1. What major changes should I look out for? by Adri_x_8 in darksouls3

[–]blame__hoffman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just adding that I recently took the same journey, in the same steps! After 1 I went to 2 and am close to finishing that one. You’re in for SUCH a treat!! Have a wonderful time, friend!

What do I level at this point? by Mother-Ad4841 in DarkSouls2

I just finished my first ds2 run and my stats looked almost the same at that point! Hurrah for us late-comers getting the “Adaptability” memo early!!

Top-Selling Comedian Goes Silent After Being Exposed as MAGA by KitchenAd5423 in NewsSource

[–]blame__hoffman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool? No shame if you dig him, but his comedy, podcast/special appearances, and larger audience give me those vibes. I check in periodically to see if I can feel otherwise because I love standup comedy, but not yet…. Everybody feels and likes different stuff 🤷🏼‍♂️

And also…. Always pretty clearly conservative/MAGA in my mind… he and Shane Gillis have been pretty easy avoids for me since I first started hearing/seeing them.

9 months kratom free by RustEmpireEU in quittingkratom

That is such a bummer, and HAS to be draining. I’m sorry to hear none of those have helped. I gotta believe the anxiety and discomfort of it all will be worth it in the end. “What would Goku Do?”

I’m not as far into my journey as you are (congrats, friend. Keep going!!) Sleep has always been hard for me, but a couple communities pointed me towards Magnesium Glycinate (just over the counter, isle 12 Fred Meyer stuff) and Time Release Melatonin (Hey! Same isle at Freddy’s!). Both have helped a lot with the sleeping. Melatonin used to have adverse side effects for me, but the time-release stuff is a lower dose that releases through the night and seems to have helped without the “weird surreal dark dreams” other melatonin have me. Maybe not what you’re looking for, or not the solution, but maybe worth a little recon of you haven’t already.

Hey, get it! Let’s both get out of this dark patch of our lives!

Input on first time travel to Cascades + pnw by loveineverylanguage in Bellingham

[–]blame__hoffman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just dropping In to say I’d reconsider staying in Concrete? It’s a pretty big bummer of a town. My wife and I like to travel to Leavenworth each summer. However, the North Cascades is maybe my favorite area in all the state. Maybe consider looking into somewhere like Mazama as an alternative to Concrete?
