Off Topic Discussion Megathread

Popped in Code Vein for a bit. The downside is that I forgot that I left off in the Howling Pit, right before the Invading Executioner boss fight. The upside is that it's a New Game+ file, so I was 120 levels over her with fully-upgraded end game equipment.

On the other downside, the next area is the Cathedral of the Sacred Blood. Hoo boy.

Code Vein was rly good imo, obviously it's not some ultra AAA game production value but for what it was I was quite pleased with it ( pre-ordered it ).
I mean it was super cheesy but it's just refreshing imo I like cheesy games too.
Gameplay was very smooth, especially flowing from spells to melee felt rly good and like it didn't disrupt you too much.

I don't really remember any boss feeling super cheap either which is normally the case in these types of games.

A few of them felt kinda cheap until I learned their gimmicks, but the only one that really felt all that overly brutal was the Cannoneer and Blade Bearer dual boss. Especially the rematch in the Depths.

Edit: I noticed now when I looked through my Steam Library, but if anyone is interested in an action rogue lite Devil Slayer - Raksasi is really good imo.
Initially I rly just bought it for the art and it was on sale, but I ended up enjoying it a lot and they've been updating it quite a bit since.

Yeah I am definitely not a fan of double bosses, in Elden Ring there's a ton of them and also there's even a boss I know of that is a double boss + respawning adds...
Maybe I am misremembering it tho but I remember just baiting the Blade Bearer away from the Cannoneer and dealing with her then it was just a 1vs1.

I think they would've been more enjoyable as single bosses tho.
Double bosses just never tend to work imo.

Yesterday I got the cap on my dental implant. They had to score open my gum to open it and get the cap on. Today it's stupid tender.

I'm just having a fun week

Oh myy
I can only imagine
I had to get a root canal (which they couldn't get to numb, so I felt all the pain and more!).
But the cutting/scoring/drilling of implants and gums that is nightmare stuff

[SturmChurro]

I can already see myself spending a lot of money on skins in lost ark. The sorceress sets are so far hideous, even the tier 3 stuff in it. Much like in FF the only thing I am really interested in are aesthetics, I don't pay to 'win' at a game, rather I pay to win the glamour endgame. Even in ESO the bulk (entirety) of my cash shop purchases were outfits, hair, etc. or the occasional lootbox in the pursuit of that.

That feel when Spotify comes in clutch and throws in a band you haven't heard in a while. I forgot just how much Woods of Ypres slapped.

Star Wars Obi-Wan show announced.
I have a bit mixed thoughts, on the one hand screw Disney and I am just really exhausted by Star Wars.
On the other hand, Ewan McGregor was easily my favorite part of the prequels.
He was perfectly cast I really can't think of anyone that would even be on the table as a possible replacement.
He's really charismatic too as Obi-Wan probably my second favorite character after Luke.

So I might watch it just to see him as Obi-Wan again.

I've been lurk reading your saga and I think this week might be testing your patience good lord. Hope you've got the best mashed potatoes and/or soup in your life

as for me, finally moving into a new place and I realize that moving sucks lol. A "helpful" new neighbor told the UPS mail carrier that no one lives in my new home, so goodbye internet modem!

Beat Malenia, Blade of Miquella yesterday early in the morning. Way less attempts than I thought. Praise be to Mimic Ash and good thinking on my part.

I've turtling my way through with a great shield, and you can't do that on Malenia. I opted to upgrade my Flamberge to +24 and cold ash replica on it.

Cold procs annihilated her, as well as all the stance breaking from dual wield great swords.

Then, at the end, the bleed from Flamberge finally proc'd and was a sudden kill that surprised me.

Vid here, if you're curious/wanna see someone play Elden Ring worse than you, probably.
