    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah Katanas are very absurdly strong in this game.... until the last fight. Holy is in the same boat with the last two fights. The real ball busting on that last battle is that what tends to be strong against Radagan typically ends up being weak against EB. When I did that fight with my DMGS...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Not sure what you are saying about the population on PS4. Wife and I were co-oping the snow area most of the day and got invaded by gankers constantly. Pretty much all cookie cutter builds, too. Dual Caimen Spears seems to be the new gank flavor of the week.

    Dark Souls

    Gwyn is the first fight they really wanted you to parry to win, so they made the window for doing so massive. I think the last time I beat him on any kind of NG cycle I just armored up and fat tanked him, letting that sorceress chick be the DPS.

    The Dangers of Gaming with Women

    NPCs? She laughs about because we both often play the same single player RPGs. We don't play MMOs anymore, since we hung up our spurs after Planes of Power.

    Mad God (2022)

    Got around to watching this and the only way I can describe it is if someone dropped a shitload of acid and made a 2 hour Tool video. Was trippy but good in its own disturbing way.

    The Dangers of Gaming with Women

    Wife and I met on EQ. We play co-op games regularly, plus board gaming, Warhammer, and our most recent pursuit is playing ER co-op which we are almost to Haligtree on. But my wife is also my best friend, so our relationship is different than the tradwife thing. She would get pissed if I...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    PS The archer summon is really amazing in the right fight, but you have to play differently and keep the heat off of her. I used her to burn down Firstborn of Stars in my mage run while I went in and dodge tanked him the entire fight. She can basically solo Millenia if you can avoid getting...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I forget the name of the spell, but its the one that the prisoner starts with that summons a sword on a delay and you can summon a bunch at once. That spell from horseback is how I took out Adula on my caster run. That spell is good in general, until you get Night Comet, but there are some...

    Any special reason for this animus? Seems like you have a lot of deep seated seethe going on there.

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    I had a thought about the budget on this, mainly with how much they splurged on the Alderan shit which was not used a whole lot. I wonder if a lot of that shit was WIP assets from either the Andor series or the currently turfed High Republic show KK is pimping? I wouldn't put it past her to...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Rock toss until they get staggered, then spam fast shard or comet. As stated, after they get stance broken the first time their defense goes in the shitter and they are super easy to stunlock. The trio with rot are the rough ones to beat.

    The Boys

    What the writers intended and how it came off are two different things. And as he said, statistics are statistics. If you are going to fight crime, you go where the crime is. I think that was the unintentional point that got made is that he is not a good guy, but he is not wrong either. And...

    I dont see Silver Hawk as particularly good or bad, just a guy trying to do his job in a shitty situation who is more or less fed up with the bullshit and snaps when they got in his grill. And A Train absolutely played the race card. Remember the older episode where he went to a sports...

    Sure, but he showed up and was respectful. He didn't turn into an asshole until the chimpout started up. A-Train did not get sent into a hostile crowd in the same way.

    Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017)

    I might be in the minority, but I liked Pirates 5 for tying off the threads for most of the core characters from the original. Plus it was centered on Geoffry Rush who is awesome. I can't see where they go with another, even with Depp, unless they can convince Hayeck to come back and reprise...

    The asexual misanthrope thread - where Mist has something to add

    Mine was arm two sessions to try it out. All I wanted was a little boost to hang in there a few more years for the wife. But you do need to consult a doctor in the states if you want legit shit. I think Testosterone might be considered a controlled substance in Canada at this point, however.

    The Boys

    Homelander's loyal lackies are the self-serving Jogger who burned up his powers and The Derp, biggest moron on the show. It remains to be seen where Black Noir stands on loyalty, but considering he was running errands for Edgars last season I am guessing its not Homelander who he ultimately...

    The asexual misanthrope thread - where Mist has something to add

    Most men have substandard T levels, even the fit ones, due to the chemistry in our diet and environment. Tinfoil hat shit aside, it is not changing any time soon so a low grade T boost of some kind is probably something every single man over 20 should contemplate. I got a couple injections and...

    I am german and my grandpa was a master of limited but psychologically intense punishment. His favorite thing to do was to send you out to go get a switch he could spank you with.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Selective and rare punishment is definitely more effective on smarter kids than constant ass whoopings. Young boys especially are acutely aware of it because of how male pecking orders operate.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah Rock toss (the one the Meteorite Staff boosts) completely destroys her. Somber 5s are a bit of a bottleneck, but there are tons scattered in Caelid, both in dungeons and overland. Also, make sure even if you use the lift to Atlus that you still clear the big mining tunnel alternate...

    Wokeflix could have never handled the heat of getting rid ole Fivehead even if they had the desire to, or she would have been dumped for making her shoe horn shit into last season.

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    Where in this shitshow is the Hero's Journey? What was even the point of Reva in the last episode? When did the empire in general and Vader in particular start sparing people who attacked them? When did ISDs stop having Tie Fighter squadrons on them? There is a lot of suspension of disbelief...

    Lucas has demonstrated time and again he does not understand his own work. I mean, Palps is fucking laughing the entire time he is laying down the ass beating on Yoda and was a trained deceiver. He never would have allowed himself to be there unguarded if he expected Mace to pose an actual...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Wife was out of town, so I wrapped up the wizard play through I was on. What a fucking faceroll that was. My main play was a tank using MLGs and supplimenting with some sorcery, so I made a specific point of going pure wants and minimal armor (wore Moghs robe for most of the last part of the...

    As someone who has dated tomboys almost exclusively and married one, I can confirm what Mist is saying. The girl I used to fingerblast in my post college years was into all those shows, along with Secret Life of Alex Mack, Golden Girls, and Designing Women. Plus every tomboy I dated fucking...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    This has sort of always been the case in Tech, but its gotten a lot worse in the last five years or so for sure. The place I am working now has exactly one woman on our entire tech team. She has decent people skills and seems to be a decently friendly person, but technically well she was hired...

    I don't know if they weakened him per se. Homelander has never had to actually fight anyone, that could hurt him at least. Soldier Boy and certainly Butcher have fighting experience against people who could inflict harm on them. It may be as simple as lack of experience.

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    This I can forgive for a number of reasons. The reality is way too stark to make for good storytelling, for one. Even slight differences in gravity can make reproduction impossible for humans. Minor atmospheric alterations can be deadly to our form of life, but not perhaps others. Hard...

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    Or you know, maybe he could have taken a Lamda Class shuttle and some Tie Fighter escorts to run down the unarmed shuttle and let the ISD run down the rebel terrorist scum. This shit was even more retarded than TLJ. Starting with, why the hell did the ISD not do what every other ISD in that...

    Let me be a massive hypocrite here and add some fat shaming to the pile, but is it my imagination or did she chunk up over the course of the series? And she was not exactly petite to begin with.

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    Wait, are you one of the people who thought TLJ was a good movie? Everything about Reva from the writing to the acting was fucking horrible. What resolution? The part where she survived getting gut poked by Vader a second time in her life only to go try to kill a youngling like her friends...

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    This series could have been so much better with competent writing and actual tie ins to the shit Filoni laid down. Instead, it really looks like KK's last attempt to shit all over Filoni as hard as she can (especially the mausoleum of dead potential plot threads). It would not have taken much...

    I feel the same way and I have been going out of my way to clear every nook and cranny with my mage play. Clearing the fucking treetops as a mage in Hagtree was not as rough as I thought it would be, but its still basically impossible as a melee. Everything in that part of the run is designed...

    Crypt in the sewers has two tough crayfish outside it guarding some good smiting mats, a cook book, and a shackle for both Mogh fights. Final reward is a niche talisman, but its loaded with glovewarts and a good mindful in its design. Night Comet completely destroys the whole place. So worth...
