I finally downed this son of a bitch yesterday. I did try bow and arrow lady and she was rocking it during the first phase. Once the second phase kicked in, she did jack shit. Every time. I don't understand it, it's like the game kicks into Nightmare Mode for this fight, just for me. She would...

Yeah I've thought about trying exactly that, good to know that it works. I never used her much so would just need to get her to +10. Prior to busting her out I may try Rivers of Blood and...something else. I saw a video of someone dual wielding katanas against Placidusax and they seemed to be...

This is like saying you just fucked 1992 Pamela Anderson but instead of going back for seconds you're gonna fuck 2022 Pamela Anderson.

I tried this guy and he held up a bit longer, but phase 2 just seems to annihilate all of the summons I've tried. The bird thing didn't even last a minute in phase 1, he got all up in the dragon's face and got ripped to shreds. It's strange how I'm having so much trouble with this fight. No...

@mimictear plz see above and try dodging, thx.

Clearly sub-Chadding it with Blasphemous Blade. I tried again last night and somehow ninja-warrior'd my way through through all of the fire, lighting, tactical nukes, and fucking laser beams and chopped him down to one or two hits to go with plenty of health flasks left. He was getting ready to...

I think I'm finally at the end of the game, so I've been mopping up the handful of bosses that I left living. The only one remaining is Dragon Lord Placidufux. What am I missing with this asshole? When he goes into teleport mode, the fight turns into total bullshit. I can't get more than 1 or 2...

Not even close.

This game is so god damn weird sometimes. I've been slowly progressing, and reached the creepy village with the candles that need to be lit the other night. I got backstabbed to death by some invisible assassin asshole and figured that was a good time to log off for the evening. I had an...

I finally made a run at the Fire Giant last night. That fight seems to involve a lot of luck. Depending on the attacks he feels like throwing your way and how often he balls up and tries to run away (while running you over), I was either getting him very low or getting annihilated quickly. Kinda...

I'm enjoying the +10 BB. It takes a bit of the edge off of trash clears as you get lots of little health pumps, the base damage + fire is respectable, and the big flame blast is tons of fun. It's just slower than what I'm used to, so taking a big whiff is more punishing than it was before. When...

Yeah, I didn't know +10 ancient stones were even a thing. Guess that's what I get for clinging to my starter weapon (basically) until now.

Ahh, I never did the bird farm thing. I tend to avoid videos that basically boast about breaking the game. I figured I'd get there the standard way, having abandoned quality time with my children and with a ravaged, bleeding anus.

Are you sure? That one didn't strike me as being readily accessible.

I decided to finally toss the twinblade I've been using since like level 12 and go all-in on the Blasphemous blade. I had no idea that some of these legendary weapons follow a different upgrade path / cap. I immediately gathered up a bunch of runes and hit the upgrade smith and was like WTF...I...

I have no desire to cheat code this game, but given my limited play time and this being my first DS-type experience, I don't mind taking advantage of whatever tools are readily available. It's certainly been better for my controller life. For example, after a few attempts at those dual gargoyle...

Well if you're going to screw yourself out of an area, that fucking sewer certainly isn't the worst one to miss.

I ran into that motherfucker of a knight right before Renalla's elevator with like 2 health flasks left. I stepped up, took a couple swings, immediately realized I would be demolished within the next two seconds, and sprinted to the elevator. He chased me over there and snapped into his fancy...

Filthy casual here who has never played any Fromsoft game until this one. Despite being level 85-ish, I really have no idea WTF I'm doing when it comes to weapon selection. I've been a 100% 2-hand melee build since nearly the beginning of the game. I've amassed mountains of swell looking...

I put like 12 hours into the game and haven't spun it back up since. I wouldn't mind diving back in but at this point I may just wait for the next gen graphics patch. Is that still a thing? Has a recent ETA been given?

I mean, that doesn't necessarily have to be terrible as it was in the show. The books stopped at Bran having just met the old man in the tree. His leadup to the throne could go vastly differently than it did in the show, assuming Tubs actually writes it.

It was a full-on Cara Dune still the last I saw - no idea when it was changed.

I'm not defending Disney, but it's not a personal account when your profile picture is literally you dressed in your company-provided work outfit and your employer owns the picture.

This isn't simply a left vs right thing. Humanity is simply too stupid to deal with social media, full stop.

I recall an interview with GRRM that was given probably around S2 of the show or perhaps just before it. He clearly stated that he gave D&D the ending of the books, including who ends up on the Iron Throne, but there was no elaborate blueprint of how the story would get there (likely because he...

That was fucking tremendous. But why is it that some random dude in a basement can still make better deep fakes than a multi billion dollar company?

I'm maybe 5-6 hours in. I've only completed a handful of main story missions and have mostly explored and done some side stuff. I'm having a really difficult time getting into this game. It feels backwards and strangely shallow in a lot of aspects that are surprising. I love the shit out of The...

Nobody: Bill Burr would be great in Star Wars Bill Burr: Hold my beer

I'm not sure if the PS5 has a quality / performance option, but if so you may want to try switching to quality to see if it looks better without sacrificing too much framerate. I need to give it a shot myself - maybe that's what I'm missing.

I wasn't expecting the game to look phenomenal on the Series X, as the promised next-gen graphics update is not due until next year, but boy is it rather disappointing to look at in its current state. Whoever said before that the PS5 version looks worse than some last gen games, yeah, that's...

Amazon now says my pre-order won't arrive until next week, so there goes the 7 minutes this weekend that I could have snuck in some time to play it. A local Wal-Mart says it's in stock now for local pickup and it's actually $10 cheaper. Any chance they'll actually pull it before release date...

Season one does drag in the middle for a while, then gets good at the end. It's not bad per say, it's just sort of disposable and relies too much on having a Star Wars skin. Despite a few clunky moments, I'm enjoying the shit out of this season. It's worth the mild slog.

Yeah thankfully they're done with all of that by the last three episodes.

I finally watched this today. Here's some AV nerd shit before I get to the movie...I decided to give a Dolby Cinema theater a try for the first time. It's definitely better than any other large screen format I've seen in terms of contrast and image quality, besting IMAX and RDX and whatever...

That was a lightsaber? I took it to be a big vibroblade. Or was it supposed to be the Darksaber? I never watched the cartoons. Anyway, very solid show. I'm glad that the season eventually settled into being legitimately good without the automatic bonus points for being Star Wars.

Oh for fuck's sake, put down the karaoke and finish The Winds of Winter already.

I haven't seen this one yet, but every Star Wars movie that comes along is good for at least one ticket from me, no matter how large of a shit pile it's purported to be. I was obsessed with the OT as a kid, and even after giving due consideration to the parade of mediocrity and nonsense that has...

Hey, you leave Legos out of this.

In JJ's defense, Rian set him up for the ninth inning with bases loaded and the meat of the order coming up. He panicked, tried his damnedest to impress with his best 98MPH fastball, but it shot straight down the middle for a grand slam. I mean, the guy's not a good closer to begin with. No one...
