Big congratulations!!!

Thanks!
They were very friendly too I think it was a static, so I was happy to get a clear with them too.
Very nice atmosphere.

I met so many people along the way I ended up in the same group as who I know were capable of clearing too and had the same problem I did we all recognized each others names multiple times lol.
I kinda thought of them after I cleared and hope they'll get it too, one of the things I thought before I finally went to sleep was that I just wanted to tell them that I finally got it xD.

Is it normal for people nowadays to just use twitch emote names as part of their vocabulary in public chats? It's actually super cringe.

More or less. I have noticed this for a while now. That and TikTok terms that my "old" brain can't comprehend.

I don't usually chat or look at public chats often anymore - just private with people I have known for years, forums, or the steam community sometimes. It seems really common. I think the last time I really looked at an open chat was like.. 7 years ago, I guess, but that was fleet chat from SWTOR. I feel like I'm getting old, and I'm not even old.

It makes me feel old, but I think it's mostly just that there's a big overlap with people who spam Twitch chats and stuff like Steam forums ( or forums in general ) especially.
Steam forums in particular are another beast, I have yet to see a thread that isn't toxic and doesn't derail.
In the end of the day Twitch is a niche, most people don't watch Twitch Streamers, but people who do are often very active on the internet ( if you spend like 8+ hours watching someone else play a game or talk and you also spam their chat then lets be real you don't have a lot going on in life ).
They kinda just make their presence known a lot more than the average person.

It's not even really funny in the end of the day either, just spamming the same word over and over again is something a toddler thinks is funny.
But it's not an actual joke, for a word to be an actual joke there kinda needs to be more context surrounding the use of it.
I just think that it's mostly actual kids and also very very immature adults that are the loudest in these sorts of places like Twitch chat and they kinda end up having a lot more relevance and power than they'd otherwise have.
Look at how much actual power and influence Twitter has, and yet like 80% of the Tweets are made by around 10% of the users.
It's not indicative at all of '' normal people '' but a lot of people kinda end up with that impression even marketing department and politicans do.

I feel like my brain can't comprehend TikTok's mere existence lol.

I FINALLY got the P3S kill yesterday, my pain has come to an end xD.
Basically a whole week of endless suffering and people having no clue, the group I cleared it with was a last desperate attempt at 3AM.
They needed a physical ranged and I actually wanted someone else to join I was sitting there waiting for a while for it to fill up so I could have an excuse to go to sleep instead.
I was VERY close to not joining, after waiting for a while I just clicked join and I had the urge immediately to leave I was just so done with it and tired both actually sleepy and also tired of pf.
In the last group before that it was a kill group too where the party leader said they'd kick people for repeated mistakes, and the the leader proceeded to make mistakes every pull themselves...

It took like 4 attempts and on the first attempt we wiped to enrage at 0.2%, the other dps in the group were wiping and taking damage down on a lot of stuff.
On the kill pull it was the same thing too and we had to lb3 ress because all the other 3 dps died ( and someone died before that too I think )´.
And it was so close I thought it'd register the enrage again, I've seen that happen before where the HP reaches 0% but it's the very second the enrage finishes casting and it counts as a wipe it was one of those moments but the RNG gods were on my side.
Except for the chest rolls I guess lol, in P2S I rolled 4 and 5 and my usual 20-30 rolls.
In P3S I rolled 20-30 on everything per usual again it's like a curse I have.
I ain't even mad with those rolls after an entire week of pain, I am just so happy it's over.

Even if Duty Completed groups aren't perfect it's at least not on this level.
I've never felt so defeated by something in a game before but the moment when it finally went down felt really good too I feel like I can finally relax.

Grats on the big win! My goal today is to not sleep through my alarm, and get it done with my static for another reclear so we can fight sexy dracula.

We're still having trouble with the Add Phase (as in, Fledgling Flight coordination)...

Also, living in the EU... man, I hate 2022.

Bit worried about Elden Ring, apparently the performance on PC isn't all that great...
I dunno why so many devs especially Japanese ones it seems screw up on the PC platform so often especially with such big titles.

It's still supposed to be playable but just not smooth.
And tbh the fact that it's locked to 60 fps is going to make those frame drops feel even worse, dunno why these games gotta be locked to 60 fps constantly I mean cmon...
Don't get me wrong I am super excited about Elden Ring I absolutely love the Souls series, it just sucks that the gameplay could be smoother than it actually is if they aimed higher.

Pretty crazy it took so long to make Nier Automata actually perform decently too and it had to be because of the Microsoft Store port and we had to make a huge fuzz about it to get them to actually give it to us on Steam.
Dark Souls 1 was okay with a mod that fixed most of the big issues I hope it won't be necessary for Elden Ring tho reviewers didn't play the most patched version.

The Nioh 2 PC version based on what I remember tho actually played very well I was pleasantly surprised with it and I don't remember having big issues with Sekiro outside of a controller issue that had to do with Steam and not the game.
