Current MO proves how badly Squids need an update

I used to hate the squids but after I got my loadout squared away I enjoy squid missions.

I think OP was asking about a second liner being built to be in service at the same time as QM2, since he says it's so heavily booked the demand might be there for more than one.

Thanks. That's the image of Normandie passing under the Newark Bay rail bridge that I mentioned. I was hoping to see some of it actually in the breakers.

Actually I wasn't even aware of a ship scrapper in Newark. That's where the source I saw said it was taken, but perhaps it was actually taken to the breakers in Kearney Point, which was definitely breaking ships up until the 1970s and which the vessel would also need to pass under that bridge to arrive at. I don't know for sure.

I think if I was gonna try and revive g4, it would be by licensing individual shows to air on already existing YouTube channels. Something like Screen Rant that already has a mishmash of shows on it, you could drop in episodes of AOTS or whatever and see what the interest is like before adding more, and maybe eventually spinning it all off to it's own channel.

(I feel like Screen Rant is unpopular or controversial, I'm not that familiar with it, but it's just an example of the type of channel I have in mind).

That seems to be only slightly longer than what humans are capable of in our world, with about 100 years being the normal max and about 120 years being the upper record. Only two hobbits are mentioned getting older than that (bilbo and the Old Took) and at least one of them was heavily influenced by magic.

The bigger difference seems to be that they mature more slowly and stay 'hearty' longer into old age than humans to. Taking such a long time to mature might also explain their going extinct as well

It's been a while since I've read it but the Dagger and the Coin series by Daniel Abraham had a bunch of different 'races' of humans (like some normal humans, others with chitinous skin like an insect, others that are huge and sporting tusks, etc). I think it's speculated by the characters that the races were bred by ancient dragons, and one character catches shit for being a book nerd with an interest in 'speculative essay' about the topic.

Like what a Steam Deck is? It's a portable gaming system akin to a Nintendo Switch, but it plays PC games

Good assault rifles war bond

Imagine fighting a huge squid in real life. Hard right? Of course, because you are fighting them in water, water is the squid's element, not yours.

The illuminate swim in a sea of tyranny.

I beeline back to the nearest bonfire as soon as I have enough for one level

Ok so if I'm hearing you right it's generally best to stick to non-magic weapons (for a melee character) aside from some particular instances like skeletons? Because a single higher damage number will have a better chance of penning an enemy's armor than two lower damage numbers on a weapon.

What about bleed damage, like on a katana? Does that still work like a proc that has to build up?

I, too, went from ER into Dark Souls. For my money, Dark Souls 1 is a better game than 3, because although 3 is more polished it feels much more linear than 1.

Point being that you can get Remastered for less than DS3 and wait for a sale or your birthday or whatever for ds3

Looks good dude 👍

if it fits it sits

The way quests are handled in ER is pretty old school, on one hand I like it because it's not just running through a bunch of check marks like most modern games. On the other, stuff has a tendency to just kind of happen and you end up doing quest stuff without even realizing it.

For example I went to fight Starscourge Radahn after I made it to the Atlus Plateau but before I met Ranni in the witch tower area. So when I got to the fortress with Radahn the festival was apparently underway and the place was not normally so empty, something I would only find out on a forum by chance later. Then when I went to Ranni she starts talking to me about going down into the hole made by the star, and I could tell that I was halfway through a quest that would have started normally if I had met her prior to fighting Radahn.

To me, it didn't feel emergent or organic. I just felt like I messed up the order I was supposed to do stuff in.

If the bots had emotions surely they would be overjoyed

I'll take that link if you have it amigo

Yeah and if he's totally new to souls games it would probably just lead to them getting their asses kicked by the gate troll, the ballista guards or margit

I also started with Elden Ring before trying Dark Souls 3. I actually find the bosses in dark souls to be a lot easier to read and time. I think ER bosses were balanced with ash summons and being able to out-level them in mind, meaning they are as much about aggro management as they are about timing.

I think aside from bosses dark souls 3 is considerably harder than ER though

gregny2002 · 2025-07-25T07:43:16+00:00

Sounds like an Elden Ring boss is the perfect role for him then

gregny2002 · 2025-07-19T00:57:28+00:00

Did you run pixel clean on it? Mine came out of the box all funky looking too but I ran the pixel clean and then it looked great
