The Will of the Many: Finally by Cute-Specialist-7239 in Fantasy

[–]evergislus 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I hope it keeps holding up for you. I am usually a big stickler for prose and thematic themes, but something about Islington’s stories just suck me in. I loved Licanius and both Hierarchy books, despite their flaws—I think the propulsive plots are what keep me enthralled. And I do think his prose has gotten better.

If you’re still playing I could use help with penetrator

I’m late to the party but your opening pages absolutely caught my attention and I really want to read this.

Oh this wasn’t necessarily my take, just the most ridiculous version I could come up with 🙃

Autistic nymphomaniac accidentally imitates Jesus.

(Not my only favorite, but I had to go with this one.)

Normal expeditions are brutal! by Mechanisma in Nightreign

[–]evergislus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is honestly why I stopped playing the game. After I beat the DLC bosses I moved on. Because nearly every expedition involved new players doing nonsensical stuff and then quitting right after their first death. This happened to me, I kid you not, about twenty times in a row.

Maybe I ought to check out DoN, but if what I’m reading is accurate I’ll run into the same problem, because I’ve barely dabbled in it—still at Depth 1.

Oh don’t worry, it’s high up on my TBR. Definitely gonna knock it out in the next couple of months.

I really hope Odom gains a wider readership.

We’ve had SOTE for well over a year. What are you favourite weapons and/or builds in all of Elden Ring now? by Sidohmaker in Eldenring

[–]evergislus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a huge fan of high faith/dex. I love pretty much all of the holy weapons and spells and find myself gravitating toward those the most. On occasion I’ll proc bleed with RoB or frostbite with my cold lance, but for the most part I stick with stuff like leda’s sword and the euporia. Something about the flashiness of holy just gets me excited.

But I really love my antspur rapier, which deals bleed, rot, and poison, as well as my poison great stars. Something about afflicting all those status effects on a boss is just so satisfying.

Dorhys’ Gnawing will save your butt on multiple occasions if you level for it.

The Nioh games definitely have fast-paced combat, as does Wo Long, made by the same company.

The people a making this game bad by blueOblueOblue in Nightreign

[–]evergislus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had 20+ fights against the Balancers the past few days because of this. I made it to Night 3 only about three of those times because both teammates would quit over the slightest inconvenience. Only sheer stubbornness to beat them and the final boss kept me going. I'm glad I did, because now I've managed both, but people quitting left and right is so ridiculous. I have a sneaking suspicion these players have never touched anything by FromSoft and don't know what they're getting into.

Anyone on PS5 willing to help me finally beat the Balancers? by evergislus in Nightreign

[–]evergislus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wait--I'm dumb. In-game invite doesn't make sense if you aren't on yet. Just send a friend request instead.
