    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    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...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    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...

    That was the first one I came across and when I came back here reading about people saying how they took down the big cat statue and how easy it was and so on it was super triggering. I was like WTF are you kidding me, how am I this bad, that cat and all his adds fuck my shit up. Come to find...

    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.

    There was an entire section of it I only found today after looking at the map and wondering how to get to a spot. Damn thing just went on forever. It was great.

    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.

    So Rogier just hands you that +8? lol I never watched the stream or whatever about who supposedly did it but after talking to him in RTH it is a reward. Seems crazy for free.

    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 need to figure the summon thing out, but haven’t read anything past the tutorial when I got the Jellyfish. Tried summoning it in the Leonine fight and Margit but never got the icon. Restarted in offline mode but still no dice. Something dumb I’m overlooking

    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.

    So far I found two caves one with the Demihuman bosses in the dark and another with the Hell Cat Erdenflammenwaffle. Both are annoying because I don’t remember bosses with so many adds in previous games. I’ve got a club and a diaper so maybe I’ll come back later with a pot for a helm or something.

    This is actually something I was trying to get running through the Shield Pro to play in the living room, but unfortunately got sidetracked. Otherwise I could give you an actual opinion! In the absence of that all I can say is that reading complaints says it is less a "game" and more an...

    I think it comes down to expectations and what you actually want it to be. If it is just an 18" shelf that you use as a bench, like what you have on your East wall, but only 18" long then it may not make a difference. If you specialize it to one function and you permanently mount it there it...
