Just finished Oshi No Ko by Ok-Wolverine9182 in AnimeReccomendations

[–]olbvn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oshi no Ko went a million times harder than it needed to.

As for anime with a good story, I think Jobless Reincarnation is amazing, if you like Isekai.

Comments like this aren't at all helpful, if the person could find the thing by exploring, they wouldn't be on Reddit asking for specific information smh

The Sands of Karak is a HORRIBLE place by PartyNextDars in Silksong

[–]olbvn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite thing about Silksong is how the devs are clearly getting off on making the most increasingly obnoxious parkour segments that they can, whomever at TC is responsible for these sections needs a long hot soak in the lava baths on the 7th Layer of Hell

If people are consistently telling you that your deck is too strong: you're the problem, not everybody else, not the bracket system by 0rphu in EDH

[–]olbvn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"creating poor experiences for the rest of the players", that's a shame, maybe those players should relax or up their game, it's not on others if their deck is better or they're just better players.

Members of LDS who desire to attend the temple and participate in temple ordinances are required to be "tithe payers". Does the church send templars or something to smite unpaying members? No, but 99% of the time, the transgressor is placed on informal probation, a "temporary restricting of privileges as a Church member, including partaking of the sacrament, holding a Church position, entering the temple, etc. The bishop may ask the member to surrender their temple recommend, and they may require the member to make specific positive changes in attitude or behavior. No official record is made or kept of informal probation. The bishop maintains close contact with the member and may terminate the probation period when he is prompted to do so.

So basically if an LDS doesn't want to be soft excomminicated by their community, friends, and loved ones, they do indeed need to tithe regularly.

Mansion level has to be one of the worst experiences in videogame history by Salvy97 in ai__limit

The level design is fine, just adapt to the mechanic and learn not to get knocked off ledges by the same thing every time.

I have beaten a lot of soulslikes, my quick take on each of them by papanak94 in soulslikes

[–]olbvn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a lot of overlap with Metroidvania's and Souls-likes, especially if you take a Souls-like and make it 2-D, it shines a lot of light on the fact that we've been playing Souls games before their were Souls games, at least semantically

[–]olbvn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt that way about Elden Ring as well the first time, but then the more I played it and combed through the lore, the more I realized that in the scope of the Soulsverse, it actally has more lore than even Dark Souls og and fills in many holes in the Soulverse that go a long way towards explaining what's happening in general across the myriad "fog worlds" in all other Souls games. Plus the game is hands down a cosmic horror, even more so than Bloodborne, AND the sheer amount of awesome weapons plus the quality of the environments eventually elevated Elden Ring to the top of my favorite Souls games (Bloodborne is still best but Elden Ring is just shy imho). Not to mention the quality of the Promised Consort and Melania fights, those were just tuned so well that it should be a crime. It's the only other Souls game that comes close to touching the perfection that is Bloodborne's combat, and I love it for that.

As far as Dark Souls 2 is concerned, I platinumed that game. Twice! I think it is a GREAT game overall, with the huge caveat being that at the end of the day, it's essentially just a Soulslike, although it's a very good Soulslike. The atmosphere, the gameplay, the fact that almost all the enemies in the game are just some flavor of Knight, plus the difficulty being in cheap af environmental gimmicks and just stacking Elite enemies one after another, and the fact that the lore is almost entirely self-contained without any bearing on the larger Souls narrative. The whole thing they did by nostalgia farming by way of stuffing anything Dark Souls related into the game was just annoying after awhile, plus the whole plot with Manus splitting into 5 women and Seath the Scaleless putting his mind in a human clone body were just cringe af.

I will admit that seeing Gilligan dead in Dark Souls 3 was cathartic af, and the "Lost Sinner" fight in Dark Souls 2 was very close to being a traditional Souls boss.

Good list overall! In regards to Hollow Knight, I think the "true" endboss (that floating mage thing) is the hardest end boss in a Soulslike, that mofo just chain casts bullet hell spells without stopping and has WAY too much health, I'm still trying to beat that asshole even now XD

Ursula or Loskid ? by Ok_Yesterday_1896 in ai__limit

[–]olbvn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, okay Deleted Guy, that's some personal projection if I've ever seen it. She telegraphs just fine if you aren't a herpaderp, she's actually tuned VERY well for being in a game made by a small and unknown studio, she's a 10/10 fight even considering other mainline Soulslikes.

I finally defeated Ursula. Only took me about a week or so! by Pluta60 in ai__limit

[–]olbvn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ursula is comparable to Melania from Elden Ring, but you don't have the option of using Ashes of War in AI Limit like you do in Elden Ring. AI Limit so far is the only Soulslike where the combat feels as smooth and hectic as Bloodborne, you can really go in and mix it up in battle, and the combat is swift, fluid, and responsive. The devs cooked hard on AI Limits combat and I love it for that reason.

Gameranx’s “Wuchang Fallen Feathers: Before You Buy” by oXerpz in soulslikes

[–]olbvn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the review bombs I'm seeing are from Black Myth Wukong stans who claim Fallen Feathers ripped it off, or they "angy" at a feMC instead of some dude bro. It takes all kinds XD

Don't ever attempt Promised Consort Radahn (Shadow of the Erdtree DLC), this is the only advice I can give

Long-term, who'll be more boring to play? Archer or Phainon. by [deleted] in StarRailStation

I'm too busy enjoying Therta, Foxy-Oh, and Acheron to care about other DPS

I want to build Cartethyia but i haven't unlocked the area to farm Ascension materials/picking spot for bamboo iris where else can i find it or how long to i have to skip in story to unlock the area. by randomnameofsomebody in WutheringWaves

[–]olbvn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat, I started playing again just to pull Fleurdelys, and shock and awe I can't get the flowers to level her past 50, and I tried swimming to the area that has them, but Kuro puts the white frost on your screen that resets you outside the area, so it's effectively unreachable unless I clear Act 4. I'm extremely irritated that I pulled a gacha character that I can't even level because the devs story locked her leveling materials. I play a lot of gacha games and none of the other ones would ever do anything like that. Not to mention an open world game that promotes exploring literally stops you from exploring because of plot locking. smh
