    I find myself laughing a lot at this show. Judomaster throwing Cheetos like shurikens cracked me up. Murn and Economos are also funny. Fat black affirmative action hire is the only shitty one who is completely unfunny but I think she is intentionally a shitty affirmative action hire? I guess...

    I guess if I am feeling really really hungry I could down 20 nugs. 10 would be fine in almost every case for me.

    I had bonchon for the first time in like 6 months. It was okay the last time. That is some serious quality failure. It was awful. Never again.

    Home buying thread

    The house I bought this time last year is supposedly going to be finished in May of this year. This is from the original build estimate of 6-8 months so it will be almost a solid 18 months from getting under contract to completion. Due to the same thing everyone is experiencing. Labor and...

    I thought you said you grew up in South Africa? Also, those houses seem really really close to the lake shore. How do cars get out?

    Job Hunting

    Similarly! The guy who I worked for at my second consultancy job got fired on Friday. It was bizarre too. We had our regular meeting in the morning then the VP of Product contacts me and tells me that he's out. Then told me to contact this other director I was working with, drop all the projects...

    Genichro, Owl and Ishin fill that role in Sekiro. The other ones are whatever and the learning curve is just way different than any other souls game. As you have to play totally different.

    In Sekiro I died to Ishin Ashina probably 100 times. Fuck that guy. @Hateyou Which Nioh2 boss was it? That frog with the pipe? The early bosses in that game suck too.

    I had thought it was crypto miners that fucked the market. But then I realized that I have never ran into a component shortage wall in my 23 or so years of PC gaming. Not a single time did I struggle to find a GPU until now. Same goes for PS5. While I never cared about getting one on release, I...

    I have half a mind to just suck it up and pay a scalper here eventually. While I refuse to do this for a PS5 (as I really really dont need a PS5) my main source of entertainment is my PC and my 2070 Super is half of what a 3080 ti can do.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Seriously. Nearly ALL Dark Souls or Sekiro bosses have some gimmick. If you find out what it is you can trivialize the boss. Normally the game will give you hints as to what it is. Just some examples: Darkbeast Paarl in BB -> Hit its legs and it gets stunned (also weak to beast+ damage from...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    You can parry the arrows from Genichiro, or you can just run ahead of them IIRC. So it'd be like parry the arrows then run up to him and whack him a few times. Then he'd do a series of several attacks followed by a Red Flash attack. So you wanted to deflect the 3 blows then to a Michi Counter or...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I died to Ishin Ashina a lot. The fight being 4 phases like some anime bullshit just makes it such a slog... one where you can't fuck very much. The Samurai Duel in the middle of the storm as an aesthetic was super badass though. I don't remember struggling against Genichiro too much. But the...

    So you didn't get past Genichiro and fight the Gorila, Ishin Ashina and so on? Ishin Ashina is simultaneously the most badass and most bullshit Fromsoft boss fight ever lol.

    The verticality of Sekiro really did a lot to make the game seem easier and more open.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Definitely. The open world nature of this game will make shortcuts and skippable bosses a lot more clear. Along with the ability to escape. New players will be much more inclined to enjoy it. It's going to be Breath of the Wild but with harder bossfights.

    Many bosses are also skippable in DS games. People don't recognize that either.

    I died to Vicar Amelia probably 40 times. No joke. But I one shot the Blood Starved Beast that @Soygen got his shit pushed in by 40 times. Your mileage varies!

    I would disagree. I never played Souls until Bloodborne where I spent upwards of 15 hours in the Central Yharnam area getting my ass handed to me. I rage quit several times. Came back to the game a few months later and seemed to have digested what the game was about. The game is poor about...

    As I recall, not only did investors lay their own wire from the West Coast to Wall Street (that was shorter than all the other commercial connections) they also built their trading servers right next to Wall Streets servers. Like physically in the same room. Nobody realized this was an issue...
