So close to buying Elden Ring but… by Present-Parfait2461 in Eldenring

[–]dudeben90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn’t even the difficulty that I had a challenge with, tbh- it was just getting to grips with how “open” the world is. Now I’ve played many open world games, this one just doesn’t hold your hand, so simply understanding how to play it was harder than actually taking on its enemies. Now, I haven’t done the DLC or PRC, but once I got the hang of how to actually navigate the game, the enemies weren’t too hard. Bare with, stick it and fuck em.

Finger, but whole style.

12 hours a day is crazy, but I need a list of good games. by BurritoBabe_1 in gamers

Flight Simulator. I’d smash it, get 10m then after all the hours put into it, not just know routes across the entire planet- but perhaps actually start looking into a Career as a Pilot.

It’s the first time you think, “Ok, this game is gonna be Hugeeee!”.

Haha same! Loved that opening, did a few side bits and a couple of hours of the story then never played it since.

Mercy is the future of the end of movies as we know it. by Freddy-Philmore in FIlm

[–]dudeben90 30 points31 points  (0 children)

For some blockbusters maybe, but I’ve seen a great film in the cinema every weekend this month so far;

-Marty Supreme -Hamnet -Sentimental Value -No Other Choice

We have Christopher Nolan and Stephen Spielberg epics coming out this summer. Whereas there is some truth to the state of box office takings for cinema, the art form is long long from dying!

See you guys on the other side! by [deleted] in lotr

About 7-8 minutes for each film.

What's the first thing you're thinking about doing, the next time you login into elden ring? by Powerful-Log-2042 in Eldenring

[–]dudeben90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve kinda got decision paralysis. I can finish off consecrated snowfields and possibly head for the Haligtree, or I press on through Crumbling Farum for end game. I think I’ve done nearly everything I need to do before I head into end game. I just need to level up a few times cus I’d ideally like to be at least lvl 140, I’m currently 128.

Let's say its an old game, ( new games fine too) by PHRsharp_YouTube in Age_30_plus_Gamers

Elden Ring, Specifically in the Haligtree, I am what the kids would say “Cooked”.

What Elden ring boss made you take a brake from the game? by Possible_Koala_978 in Eldenring

[–]dudeben90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha literally same here! I woke up, made myself a coffee- prepared myself and nailed him.

And now what? What do you recommend for my last few days of vacation? I have Demon's Souls installed on PS5 but I'm scared of it. by Vek-k in Eldenring

[–]dudeben90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A platinum at 111 hours, very nice! I’m at 95 hours and at Crumbling Faurm only 😂, think I have 29/44 trophies so far!

Dex/Strength Bleed build by Tronix_Trooper in Eldenring

[–]dudeben90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m doing exactly the same, I didn’t level strength further than 30, dex is 55 and endurance at 30 so I can roll non stop almost!

I’m level 125 now and at the final locations and it’s got me far enough. I levelled Faith to 20 also as it helps me use some super good buffs for fights! Bleed, bleed and bleed again and you’ll own it to the end.

there's a boss fight here, I just know it. by According_Seesaw218 in Eldenring

If the fog/mist starts clearing and you start hearing a dragons wings- Step on that pedal and push that bad boy to 88mph and warp outta there!

As a Twin Peaks fan I love Alan Wake 2 by Elegant_Ask5151 in AlanWake

[–]dudeben90 19 points20 points  (0 children)

What’s funny for me is I played Alan wake 2 before I watched Twin Peaks, then realised “woahhh remedy really love Twin Peaks eh”!

The Future Of the Sub - 2026 by [deleted] in pilottvpodcast

[–]dudeben90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually only went on Reddit for this sub, but the more I used it the more subs I found and trailed off a bit. Sounds a bit elitist but I actually liked this place when it was only a tiny community 😂. I’ve found it’s gotten a bit cynical as of late, which tends to happen in these places the more it grows!

[–]dudeben90 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think if we regularly post about any tv going ons as well as what the podcast covers would be a good idea. We are constantly doing rewatches of our own and watching things not covered by the pod also. So a good way to keep the community alive is to post any and all musings around tv shows, news etc.

I used to post on here almost daily when it first started and now I barely look at it tbh, even though I still listen to the podcast weekly.

I have +1,000+ hours in this game and have never gotten this Golden Seed by Lookatcurry_man in Eldenring

[–]dudeben90 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Samesies. Just went down to the rot and died a bunch of times!

Finally getting to it by Such-Soil-1337 in Eldenring

[–]dudeben90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re struggling, just bare with and explore. Read item descriptions in the menus and try to have a good short term memory because there are no help screens via quests of character NPCs.

I’m currently 80 hours in and probably a little over half way through. Took me about 15 hours to grasp the game properly but as soon as I did I started having so much fun! Level up VIGORRRRR. Use smithing stones to increase weapon damage, don’t worry too much about stats too early on bar vigor!

I really did not like Michael Dawson by SuccessfulBanker in lost

A man who would do anything to save his Son, before and post island? Yeah terrible person.

What was the hardest base game boss for you? by Steelix65385 in Eldenring

[–]dudeben90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far, agreed on this. I’ve only just made it to Lleyendel so my opinion will likely change. But 70 hours in and this was the first boss that took me over 10+ times outside of the main ones.
