    Doing some finishing today. I think the repair worked fine. It isn’t finishing quiet the same, of course, bc I cut down and worked it at a different time from the rest. Didn’t think about it at the time or would have spent longer on that one spot. Turns out my 5mm hinges are just on the large...

    One of the cool things that I can't wait to see Vaati cover in a lore video are little things such as . Little connections like that aren't thrown in your face but the creators put them all there for you to figure out and spent time crafting these scenarios.

    I have been trying to fight weather and work to whittle away at my engagement ring box so that I can propose this weekend. Weather has been terrible, I spent the weekend with a stomach bug brought home by a 4 year old. Haven't had stuff flying out of both ends like that since college. Finally...

    Radahn ended up being, uhhh, more simple, once I combined strats and stopped being stubborn. Getting him to P2 was easy enough. I could stagger him right before he flew off. Rot Breath him during the stagger. Then just kite P2 and he went down basically without me getting hit. I still insist...

    Somber +2 are pretty prevalent. I had the Scythe at +4 or 5 before really leaving Liurnia. Be sure to check the mines all around. I’m still using that build and it has been fine up through Radhan. Nothing to compare it to though.

    Spoilering this, and it is my first “real” complaint that isn’t stuff like Scarlet Rot is bullshit in a 400 mile AoE insta kill and that mechanic and designer should be exiled to hell.” Anyways, a small complaint in an otherwise sea of awesomeness.

    This is similar to what I've been, I guess unknowingly, running since the start. Found the Angel Scythe on day 1 and have only specc'd in to Faith and Vigor / Mind. My Mind stat is lagging through so didn't rely as heavily on Angel L2 as much as he said in the video. It is a fun build though...

    He definitely gives more than that on the first kill. I just killed him 2 seconds ago and looted the chest after multiple failed attempts so had 0 runes. And now have 94,000. I think I'll rock his gear instead to go along with my Reaper look. I need a second Scythe though to be extra badass. The...

    I have unintentionally farmed runes at the Divine Tower of Caelid: Basement. About 2 steps away is a Blackflame Monk and I really wanted the armor set. Takes about 15 seconds to kill and is almost risk-free and you can immediately reset. 1700 or so runes per kill. Got me a few easy levels while...

    Idle Heroes

    They’ve made some good quality of life changes to get back to more Idle’ish style. The one click setup for daily tasks helps. Also the improvements with gear sets coming, the fusion system overhaul. Lots of little thing’s and they’ve admitted they want to get back to a more idle friendly...

    I’m not 100% sure. I got one from Stormveil and another from Purified Ruins. That moved her twice to the bridge. I had already completed Morne way before that and cleared the place out, just didn’t move Edgar. So went back and showed him sword, he moved, found him by the road, he vowed revenge...

    Some of the Steam achievements are surprising to me as well. Something like 25% of people have the Red XIII trophy. With so many people purchasing the game I’d expect that to be much lower. Sure it is an early’ish boss but you gotta go through some Souls kicks to the nuts to get there if it is...

    The journey from the Raya Lucaria courtyard, across the rooftops, finding ledges to jump from, down ladders, and wrapping around to find the shortcut back and/or the next bonfire was some true Legacy dungeon shit. That was awesome and nerve wracking. Still rocking the Angel and Exile gear at...

    Think I'm ready to switch things up. At 16 DEX/STR and 40 Faith. Been using exclusively the Winged Scythe with a Sacred Seal offhand for fireballs but since I can't use Ashes or Magic / Items on it, feels like I'm missing a lot of play options. Any suggestions that would go along with the Faith...

    Yeah that is the main reason that the 14 vs 16 thing isn't as relevant to me as the overall comfort of the house and family. Even running calculations on the efficiency gains put the break even out to 15 years, and that is just spreadsheet math. Real world it would probably be less. So I'm on...

    What started as a routine maintenance inspection for HVAC has turned in to a whole project… one of the guys found a vent assist that had been unplugged by the previous owner, that I had no idea existed because my previous house didn’t have one. We weren’t sure why exactly so he wired it back up...

    Do the grace lines ever disappear? No idea what else I could do in Stormveil and they're still clouding the map, same for Morne. Makes me think I'm still chasing something.

    I spent quite a bit of time on him today using my two hand Angel Wing scythe. Got to where I can pretty much regularly get him down to his phase with the tail, but the spin move covers so much ground it was getting hard to poke and roll. I can say that after him Leonine was a breeze.

    Been working great for me. There was a lot of complaints immediately at release but they’ve been patching and acknowledged issues. Still not a lot of great menu options and UW support or unlocked frames.

    I love watching these videos and going, "yyeeaahhh when I fought him he didn't stand there and look at me for 5 minutes before his next attack. He just constantly rushed my ass down throwing out 8 attacks a second, doing backflips, and knocking me off the ledge."

    Stormveil is confusing AF between all the outside ledges, inside roofs, elevators, bridges . Feels like I’m missing a ton here. Side question that may or may not be considered a spoiler:

    Yeah my Steam says something like 14 hours played but most of that is chasing a 4 year old I think. Did decide to actually progress a little through Stormveil after Margit and those flying razor falcons suck. But so do flying mobs in any game ever.

    There’s I guess more than 1, because the cat boss I found first had four demon statue guards and no way was I going to kill that thing at level 1. Haven’t yet found the solo cat. There are a ton of jellyfish mobs at the end of Morne, or do you mean the summon? I don’t remember where I got it bc...

    I’ll try that tomorrow. Was pretty sure that’s what happened when I got jellyfish but maybe not. Maybe I just got the summon and not the key item bc I skipped that part. Thanks.

    I may as well be level 1 still lol, just exploring the land and finding different stuff, dying, and not leveling. So my stats aren't anywhere near building it. But I probably will just for fun.
