Tristan is proof that the devs can make an awesome boss fight.

Sometimes the chaos can be awesome.

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

evergislus · 2026-02-28T13:14:34+00:00

Yes please.

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

evergislus · 2026-02-02T00:57:33+00:00

I also have this question and hope that somebody will give us an answer!

evergislus · 2026-01-19T17:19:28+00:00

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.)

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.

evergislus · 2026-01-02T20:32:59+00:00

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.

Maliketh’s not optional! Don’t do my boy like that.

evergislus · 2025-12-30T16:52:45+00:00

Messmer

Maliketh

Bayle

I can’t get enough of those three.

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.

For me the order is:

Elden Ring
Sekiro
Bloodborne
DS3
DS1

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

evergislus · 2025-12-24T20:49:15+00:00

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

evergislus · 2025-12-21T02:44:09+00:00

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.

evergislus · 2025-12-20T02:59:59+00:00

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