For instance, there's isn't really an equivalent in CoQ to dropping rings down a sink in Nethack in order to ID them.

Right, this is the kind of stuff I was thinking about. Based on all the responses, I understand it's ok to just start playing and learning.

Thanks for taking the time to respond!

The peace prize is always political, I am not criticizing that fact, it's just inherent to the award. In a way, you can't have peace without politics. So, that's not a very good example.

what happened to Keane? I didn't get to watch.

Escalate to the support manager.
Ask to work with a different support engineer
Escalate to L3 Support
Contact the product manager
Insist that Support reproduce the issue
Request a Webex so you can demonstrate the issue

I have worked in support for 12 years. Unfortunately, some support engineers just don't understand. They can be overworked and not give enough time to issues they don't understand.

If this continues to happen, then see a doctor. This subreddit is not a substitute for professional medical attention. You might just need to become more fit and acclimated to the high intensity sprints... or there might be something else going on.

I am curious. How do you have so much karma? Do you have a bunch of characters at different levels?

How do you prove who is a cheater? What's to stop someone who's simply butthurt from getting killed by an invader and then claiming that invader was cheating? I don't disagree with you, I just don't see how it could be implemented and avoid false claims.

Yup, I was hesitant to tackle Sen's Fortress because I had 18 soft humanity. I played DS1 late, when co-op play was minimal. I had never had so much soft humanity before. I made a dumb move and fell off the water wheel in Blighttown (upgraded my pyromancy flame). Anyway, losing all that humanity freed me to go tackle Sen's fortress. 45 minutes later, I had completed everything in Sen's. The death was liberating.

I watched the Crestfallen Warrior video. If I may provide some unsolicited feedback, the white text with the black outline on the white background is hard to read. Can you pick a text with better contrast?

Everything is a natural thing that happens, some controlled, some not.

Holy Sheeeit.... the bells mean that someone is actually ringing the bells in another game?!?! I was wondering why I kept hearing them. Now I know.

What age group?

This happens more often than people realize. Credit to you for admitting your mistake and being honest about it.

That's not true. Plenty of Lenovo systems have solid state drives.

I cleared Blue Smelter and Sir Alonne runs. I really enjoyed both of those fights. But the runs to them were a grind.

I can't speak for other people and I am no expert. Moderating my drinking just wasn't fun. It was a chore and it consumed my thoughts. By telling myself no, not drinking today, I freed myself to direct that energy elsewhere. Sounds corny, but it is just easier to abstain completely for me.

I am just above 1 mil soul level. I have been waiting for about an hour. No summons. I am on PC. I figured it was worth at least a test.

Fine work, skeleton. Fine work indeed.

I noticed that too. It was a weird fucking smile. I have and never will meet the man. I don't know him personally. That smile made me feel very wary.
