    I enjoyed these more than the first three for sure (and those were mostly fine). I love being able to just sink into the show and let it play out at its own pace. Not every god damn thing needs to be purpose-built for an ADHD audience. And while it seems counterintuitive for a such...

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    Something's wrong then. I'm running a 4090 and at 4K I'm generally 100-120FPS in town and have yet to dip below 80 out in the world. I have nearly every setting maxed except for dumb shit like motion blur. Grab the current version of DDU to wipe nearly every trace of video drivers from your PC...

    The third episode sure got dark. It's mostly good so far as long as you can appreciate the hour+ slow burn setups and then the concurrent payoffs (I do), but what was with the crew of dipshits on Yavin? A couple days of getting hangry and they're ready to literally murder each other and then...

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    I didn't have ever playing Oblivion again on my bingo card, but the Elder Scrolls itch hasn't been scratched in many years so I caved. So far I'm really enjoying it. It crashed like a motherfucker early on in the prologue and I was about ready to call it garbage and request a refund, but since...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I don't think I've ever equipped a shield in Elden Ring. If my hands are moving, something sharp is in them. Except for when I put on the penis robe.

    Other than perhaps Radahn (TBD), Gaius was the most annoying fight by far, even though it took me longer to take Messmer down. Fuck that asshole and the pig he rode in on. Here's my personal difficulty ranking for a lot of the named bosses (leaving out the invaders/crypt bosses etc because I...

    The Acolyte makes Book of Boba Fett look like the Empire Strikes Back.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I hit Radhan over the weekend and made three low-effort attempts at him just to get a feel for the fight. It really does seem turbo shitty and unfun and I haven't yet felt the desire to log back in and give it a serious attempt. This may be the first time I just look up the best cheese build and...

    I think everything is effectively wrapped up except for the final area. Finger Mother was more irritating than she should have been. I don't know if I got unlucky or what, but she constantly seemed to fly around blasting the giant super laser, and whenever I got close she'd turn sideways and go...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    It's pretty surprising how quickly you can make a direct run to the final area without really trying to, as long as Messmer isn't a huge roadblock, at least. It snuck up on me fast and I haven't had a lot of time to play. I made some progress up the tower (Taker's Flames > those bullshit...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    The "terrible" version was nerfed not long after release. Unless for some reason that was reversed later, as long as you aren't severely under-geared/under-leveled the fight's not too bad. As far as ranking this DLC as the "best ever", eh, I don't know. I think Elden Ring is certainly one of...

    I nearly one shot Malenia back when I first went through the game. It was way late, I was exhausted and awake for far longer than I intended to be. I hacked my way through the Haligtree stuff, and then there's Malenia as I'm literally nodding off with the controller in my hand. Alright...one...

    From what I read he can also drop the shield, which I think is where I got it. Apparently other knights can drop the shield, but not the greathammer. In any case I'm OCD with loot and wouldn't have left anything behind, especially not something off of a higher-tier trash mob.

    I wonder if it's unintentional and will be fixed in a patch. Pure RNG cancelling out good loot for an entire playthrough isn't exactly SOP for Elden Ring.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    That looks good as well, I'll move the flame knight by the lift to farm status. It's past time for a change from Blasphemous Blade and nothing else has stuck so far, even post-nerf.
