Why do people have so much trouble with the Draconic Sentinel outside Maliketh's arena?
Run. Past. Him.
If you charge straight at him, you can run by quite easily, and slip through the fog gate. He won't catch you unless you're really slow. The only danger here is that his horse may possibly breathe a fireball at you as you go through which can stagger you on the other side which can cost you precious seconds on the other side. Gurranq doesn't always immediately charge you as you go through, if you're lucky he'll give you a couple seconds to get ready, if not, better dodge straight through him. I'll admit, that Draconic Sentinel is an asshole, he's very tanky to kill, and his lightening attacks ate completely bullshit, but... you don't have to fight him. You would think if you can walk in, and beat Maliketh that fighting this douchebag on horseback would be an easier fight. I often times find myself running through things just to plunge into the boss arena, somehow it feels safer in there than outside with everything else that's been chasing me there xD
Well. The single day of Fasnacht wasn't totally wasted...
Lucky, but not lucky. I already have this glowing. But I can easily sell it for max caps if I'm ever in need of money. I'm always at max caps though so... Fasnacht doesn't bother me as much as it used to. And we've got Mothman Equinox coming up which... does tend to unhinge me a little xD The problem with Mothman Equinox is that all etiquette completely goes out the window, and the spawn camping becomes infuriating. You don't need to stand on top of spawn with a cremator. I get it, you want to feel necessary, but unfortunately you're not, get the fuck off. I have noticed that the cremator has been nerfed pretty hardcore, it used to do much more noticeable damage, and now there are a lot fewer people using it which I appreciate because it's an annoying weapon. See now the weapon that really annoys me is the Tesla Cannon because, once again, it's a weapon that it's attack completely blinds you if you're anywhere near it's shot. So these idiots stand on rooftops, blasting away, blinding anyone who is actually hands-on with the enemy. Sure, I don't need to get in the face of anything, I can also stand up on the safety of the rooftops, but that's so BORING. I get it, explosive weapons are fun, can we do them in a way thay doesn't annoy everyone else? There was a level 2000 at my camp earlier, and of course he attempts to start taking every single free thing I have set out... It's an interesting social experiment, I find that the people who most often try to take everything I have out for free, are also the highest levels who you know absolutely don't need any of it, but they take it anyway, and keep it away from people who might actually need it. It's like millionaires eating at the soup kitchen, I just don't get it, it's pure greed. But I slammed my vending machine shut before he got very much. I then saw him at an event, and of course he's sitting up on a rooftop, like a pussy, with a Tesla Cannon. So I flutter myself on up, land right in front of him, just begging him to hit me. Better hope that thing kills me in one hit though. I got 85 bullets, 99 damage a piece, that's over 8,000 damage in about ten seconds, better hope you kill me in one. Nah, he left. That's the typical experience with higher level tryhards, that's why I appreciate Bethesda for attempting to add a tiny bit of skill into the game. They've nerfed so much of it for the new players, but now those new players are skyrocketing into level via Raids so it's like, you really don't need to dumb the game down for anyone, if anything make it harder. People complain that the Super Mutants in Eviction Notice are noticeably tougher than elsewhere in the game... Yeah, yeah they should be because otherwise they just instantly die to the 15 people there, and then you complain that they die too easily. I say give us twice the muties, let's really have an onslaught, I wanna barely survive every event xD
I'm on the fence with the new jetpack mechanics myself. Because initially I hated it. You do 3,000 hours in a game, they change something, it's obviously going to throw you off. It took me a bit to get the new mechanics down. And I don't hate it as much now. Because now you can easily get much higher. It does use more AP, but ya know, it's made for boosting, not flying long distancees. You can tap fly pretty far though if you manage your AP well. I think the biggest reason people hate on the new mechanics is because it's not simply mindlessly fluttering around, it takes a little bit of skill now to effectively use your jetpack, you actually have to stop, and think for a split-second where you're intending to go, look up. The biggest issue comes with landing precisely, and again it takes a certain skill level to nail that which most people just don't have. Most people, when playing a game, want the mindless mashing of a button instead of actually having to think about what they're doing. That's why I'm on board with the new jetpack, make the game more engaging, make these tryhard motherfuckers who think they're God in game actually need to try. That's why I'm also constantly on the fence about how I feel about VATS. VATS is essentially just autoaim, you press the button, the game targets for you, you don't even have to aim. You take VATS away from most of these players, they can't hit anything. VATS is never going away obviously because it's an integral system in Fallout, but it tends to make a lot of people lazy. It's like using Rivers of Blood in Elden Ring. I love RoB, it's a beautiful sword, and Corpse Piler is a gorgeous attack. But it's a sword that takes no skill to use, and that's why so many people lean into it because you don't have to think about what you're doing, just press button, thing die. Then you've got the people whining about the jetpack, "Well, why can't they just change it back, but keep the added boost to height?" So they should just make everything super-powered with no drawback, right? That's how people walk through life, I want everything maximum the best it can be handed to me without having to struggle or sacrifice anything on my part. How dare anyone expect me to give anything in order to get something in return, I should just be handed everything at no personal cost or inconvenience. Gaming online gives you a real good look at humanity, and it ain't pretty.
Oh, this is a cute outfit.
It's kinda got Gothic vibes. Maybe Bethesda is tired of all my whining about the lack of feminine clothing in game xD Seriously, you have a decent female playerbase, we'd like to look female, if you please. This is a new outfit, part of the current seasonal rewards. A lot of people have been complaining that this season sucks, I think it's just that they put so much work into players becoming ghouls, which is a pretty big accomplishment, that there was less effort put in on the rest of the season. For April's Fools they're doing three days of random events, Invaders From Beyond was today, gotta admit I get tired of the aliens after 2 weeks, but I miss them after awhile. I've heard they're running Fasnacht Day tomorrow... I had a guy approach me a few days ago, wanting to trade for one of my glowing masks. Unfortunately, all he had to offer was a dream, and a handful of magic beans, he had absolutely nothing. I, too, have a dream... Of getting rid of these ugly masks for a RAU. And that's an equal trade. Don't come at me with nothing to offer. If I wasn't still looking for this stupid dress, I'd give the masks away, but they have major trade value. I doubt I'll land anything interesting in one day of Fasnacht... but I'll still try. I also heard there's the possibility of Spooky Scorched. Ya know, you'd think after they completely fucked the Holiday Scorched event into not even doing it, maybe they'd run that... Not that it mattered to me at the time since I was in the hospital pretty much all month at the time. But still. I question their choices.
I met this guy in Radiation Rumble. Level 71, big guy in power armor. I'm standing behind him as the event starts, slightly elevated, guarding two positions. But I'm keeping an eye on him, and he just keeps getting slammed by ghouls xD He's turning every which way, getting bitchslapped by these green guys, and I'm desperately trying to keep them off of him while also guarding two of the scavengers, but mostly trying to keep him alive. At level 71 you should know what you're doing in events, but you can also get pretty high in level just running through the story. I didn't join in with public events til I was past the 50s. Going from Fallout to Fallout 76 is like going to a new world, full of hostile players, but... some people willing to watch your back.
Twins...
Twins? I always suspected that Rykard, and Radahn were twins because the twin thing is huge in Elden Ring, if you're not directly sharing a body, you have a twin for a lot of these big characters. But there's also a portrait of Radahn very prominently hanging in Volcano Manor. Specifically just Radahn. So that would suggest Radahn holds some importance to Rykard. Like being his fucking twin. And where Radahn is described as being kind, well-liked, and respected as a ruler, Rykard is evil as shit.
Here's another interesting bit.
Malenia, and Miquella are twins, right? So their Great Runes should be similar.
Miquella is not the owner of the Great Rune of the Unborn. Rennala is. It's inside the egg which Radagon gave to her before he left to be with Marika, who shortly after birthed Miquella, and Malenia into the world. What does the Great Rune of the Unborn do? Allows rebirth. One could, possibly, be reborn infinitely, giving them eternal youth. Now... who do we know who's cursed with eternal youth? Why, it's Miquella, of course. So it seems to me... Rennala is in possession of his original Great Rune. Given to her by Miquella's father. Given... but what was taken?
I believe Miquella's Great Rune was stolen from Rennala, and given to Miquella, swapped out. Because this particular great rune is what gives him the power to charm others. And Rennala was known for being quite bewitching, some might say magically so, until Radagon abandoned her. So that was Marika's game. Send Radagon in, seduce Rennala, stop the war, steal her power, and put it into her own child. Devious. It's interesting that Ranni doesn't have a great rune. It makes sense since she wants nothing to do with the Greater Will, but you'd think she'd still have had one kicking around somewhere. Something that powerful... surely someone would have it. And what of Ranni's twin? Because Rennala has a twin too, Rellana, so it stands to reason that Ranni almost certainly be part of a pair too. And everyone cries Melina because Melina, and Ranni look similar, but we've never seen wjay Ranni actually looks like because she burned her fucking body, and her spirit inhabits a doll modeled after someone else. So Melina... looks like the person the doll is based on, not Ranni herself if that's your argument. Melina also speaks incredibly fondly of Marika, and the Golden Order, and this purpose her mother had for her, I just get the feeling Rennala is not her mother.
You ever have something that takes up way too much of your headspace xD
What's your deal, turtle pope?
What secrets are you guarding...
You know that Marika, and Radagon share a body. And that, for whatever reason, seems to be privileged information. You're found inside the church Radagon, and Rennala were married. You sell spells so you obviously have close ties to Rennala, and the academy.
A big, magic, possibly intergalactic turtle...
I haven't watched the Fallout show... I'm not big on watching shows. But. It's crazy to me that their opening to the depth of Fallout lore didn't include Deathclaws. Cause Deathclaws are... Deathclaws, if you know, you know, they are the most feared creature in the series. Early on anyway. In New Vegas there are two ways to get to New Vegas from Goodsprings. Head South allllll the way around Black Mountain, past Novac and Nipton. It's a long fucking walk. Or you simply go North... past the quarry FILLED with Deathclaws including one very large, angry momma. Trust me, you wanna take the long way. Cause you can also try to cut straight through Black Mountain, oh wait, more Deathclaws. Although, if I remember correctly the ones in Black Mountain are blind. But then there are also the Super Mutants, and Centaurs so... safer to go the long way, pick up Boone in Novac. I haven't played New Vegas in several years, I just can't really imagine how I'd play a normal Fallout game anymore. I mean... no jetpack, no mutations, no Fenrir🤔
Then again... no tryhards annoying the shit outta me either. I understand being competitive in a game with ranking or score, but... Fallout ain't it. If your entire goal is showing up to an event, and killing everything as fast as possible before anyone else can hit it, you belong in a private server. Cause you obviously don't want to play WITH people, you're taking the play away from everyone else. It's unnecessary, you're not needed, and you're honestly just annoying. Sure, that could be me, I could be the asshole with the OP gun/build who one-hit kills everything as soon as it spawns, and forces everyone, including myself, to spend the majority of the event twiddling my thumbs... I don't see the fun in that. My gun isn't a one-hit kill gun. But it's a good gun, and it feels good using it so I use it. I could go Bloodied to give myself more damage... But Bloodied players are weak as shit. A ghoul could tap them, and kill them, they can't get hit by anything, they spend their entire lives on top of buildings. I'm pretty tanky, and do good damage, good enough that people ask me personally for my build so... And I have fun with my character. Part of having fun is the struggle. I love an event with struggle. It's so boring going to Eviction Notice with 15 other people. Make it 2, make it a challenge, make my ass run, that's a good time. I've said it before, I'd rather lose gloriously than win easily. I'd rather die alone in a Super Mutant avalanche desperately defending the Radscrubber to my last breath than have some overpowered one-shot asshole save me. But that's just me.
This is what happens when you let them name themselves xD
Instead of picking something wholesome, it's straight to DickieMcButt, BootyBlunder and BDSMommy.
Surely, not mine, mine would never- ah, who am I kidding,, obviously they're mine, somebody has to claim them💀
Silent Hill 4 is like Death Stranding...
You don't play it for the gameplay. You play it for the mystery of the story. Which may sound like a burn on Death Stranding, but look... The actual gameplay of Death Stranding is, for the most part, incredibly tedious. Because it basically boils down to all you're really doing is overcoming the terrain to make deliveries. Cause fucking dude on top of the snowy peaks of the mountains if madness needs his motherfucking Krusty Krab pizza fully intact, and on time. It's not super compelling as far as the actual playing of the game goes. But the story is so intriguing... And I still could not competently tell you what the fuck that game is about. The world of the dead, and the world of the living have directly connected so the angry dead coming through are a real pain in the ass. There's the Beach, the Extinction Entities, the BBs, it's a lot. I am looking forward to Death Stranding 2, I'm hoping it'll answer some questions, but... I expect it probably will not. It's like Elden Ring, each new drop only creates more questions while giving no answers. I do like the story of Silent Hill 4 though, I can agree that it's not necessarily the most fun game to play, but Walter Sullivan is pretty fucking interesting. But you know me, always a sucker for a good villain. Well ok... maybe Walter isn't that good. He thinks an apartment is literally his mother. That's uh... a bit weird even for me.
Ahh, my brain is twitching💀
Supposedly, Marika, and Radagon are two souls in one body. But... what if it was ALL Marika, and Radagon is just a creation of hers? It's always been extremely convenient to me that Leyndell, and the Carian Royal Family were having this massive fued til onr day golden boy Radagon shows up, sweeps Rennala off her feet, ends the war between them. He came outta nowhere, and served a pretty explicit purpose that greatly benefited Marika. My question is, while Radagon was married to Rennala, where was Marika? Radagon wouldn't have been Elden Lord at this point, and based on the fact that it says he eventually left Rennala to go to Marika, was Marika just gone this whole time Radagon was with Rennala? It's also kinda crazy to me... that Rennala is extremely powerful, and she had NO idea what was going on? And when Radagon chooses to leave her to go marry Marika, she just lets it happen without a fight, just lays down, and accepts it? That doesn't make sense to me. Marika obviously felt threatened enough by her to send Radagon to seduce her to end the war, Ranni obviously has no love for her father's side while having great love for her mother, Rennala and Ranni together could probably have taken Marika down. But Rennala chooses instead to sink into despair...
Anyway. That's beside the point xD Tgis item in particular has always peaked my interest.
Marika's Mischief... So Marika liked to hide in plain sight? Like you might if you willed yourself to turn into a man, and no body knows. This kinda falls apart when you consider that Miquella, and Trina also share this trait, going from one to the other. And as we see eventually, Miquella literally physically removes Trina from his body. Meaning that Trina isn't just a persona, they're a real separate person who was sharing their body. And you'd think since his parents have this effect, he must've inherited it from them, thereby proving it's something they were born with. I'm just curious why Miquella has it, and not Malenia, but I suppose Malenia does in her own way except her other half is the literal God of Rot. Malenia's personality, and the God of Rot who inhabits her are extremely different, and this god is constantly struggling to take over, and come out of her because as we see with the other sets, one personality/soul seems to have more control over the other. Marika over Radagon, Miquella over Trina. Trina also has strong ties to the ability of sleep, she could also be some sorta Outer God like Rot God. Would that make Radagon an Outer God? What if Radagon were the Greater Will inhabiting Marika? Wild speculation xD
No.
No, it does not xD
Sure, if you wanna be a ghoul, great, you get everything from this update. If you don't.. they did nothing for you. Oh, wait, no, they fucked up jetpacks, that's what you get.
Well ok. They did implement this new weapons thing called Onslaught. I'm not entirely sure how it works other than it comes from perk cards, and it only works on guns that have Furious as their one-star legendary. So I pulled out Gungnir to mod, and test it. I didn't really notice an appreciable difference even with an updated build into Onslaught. So... back to Fenrir, there just isn't a better gun~
Out of all the fucked up shit that happens in Elden Ring... THIS is what offends you xD
I mean, technically... Godwyn's physical body is still sorta alive. His soul died, but his body is still in some sorta state of living undeath. His body, in fact, is mutating, not rotting. It's interesting that to kill Godwyn's soul the BKA needed to use a shard of Destined Death. We know that the player character endlessly comes back to life... for reasons. What happens when everyone else gets brutally killed by you? You're not wielding Death, not til you kill Maliketh anyway. If Death is locked away all this time, and no one can die, where do they go? Like Miquella resurrecting Radahn... from where? Where did his soul even go if no one ever actually dies? Miquella tried first to resurrect Godwyn, but it didn't work because Godwyn's soul died a true death. And it makes you wonder why he tried to bring back Godwyn anyway. If, when he was younger, he always chose Radahn over Godwyn to be his "consort" then why go for Godwyn? Unless, like I've said before, Radahn decided he wanted nothing to do with Miquella at some point. Probably realized Miquella was evil as shit, and backed out of their little deal. Tries for Godwyn when he's rejected by Radahn, fails with Godwyn, sends Malenia to kill Radahn. Malenia fucks up, infects Radahn with Scarlet Rot so Miquella has to find a new body to put Radahn's soul into, decides on Mohg, but can't kill Mohg... So charms Mohg, gets himself purposely kidnapped, possibly thinking Malenia will eventually comes to his rescue, but she's hurt badly by her fight with Radahn, and falls into a long, deep sleep. So... you eventually end up killing Mohg. How do you get to that point? Varre. Varre who, before the game even begins, kills your Maiden, and sets everything into motion. Is it possible Varre was also charmed by Miquella? I'm not sure.
I've seen this mentioned a lot, "I love Elden Ring so I tried Dark Souls, and it's bad, blahblahblah."
Look... it's not that Dark Souls is bad. It's that you're bad cause Elden Ring is EASY. Dark Souls is a more difficult game, comparatively. And especially if Elden Ring was a difficult game for you, Dark Souls will be fucking impossible. The problem is that Elden Ring gives people this false sense of ego, it makes them think they're skilled to have beaten it. You're not as skilled as you think you are. Elden Ring takes it way, way easier on you than other Souls games. In Elden Ring if you get stuck on an area, good news, you have an entire world to fuck around in. In Dark Souls you have to figure shit out with much more limited options. Elden Ring is a nice, gradual climb. Dark Souls is a kick to the ass straight out the window, good luck. Mechanically, they are essentially the same games with Elden Ring having slightly better controls, and again, that's something that makes Elden Ring easier. And I absolutely love Elden Ring, I'm not insulting it at all, I don't think it's any lesser of a game at all, but in reality it is easier which is why I think people enjoy it more. And I think From purposely made it easier so it would be more playable for more people. And yet there are still these gigantic babies crying, "We need a pause button." No... you need to learn how to think on your feet, not pause the game so you can look up how to beat something immediately. I get looking up a guide if you're 50 tries in. I mean, I don't, I think you should still figure it out on your own, but if you absolutely can't get past something, sure, look up it's weaknesses. But at least try before you resort to that. It's called a game... it's for playing. I don't see the fun in needing something to tell you exactly how to play. If anything, Elden Ring should have a hard mode, let's crank it up to insanity~
I've figured out the jetpack, and... I'm not sure if Bethesda intentionally did this or if it's just bugged. It's hard to say with them, something always breaks every update, but they also gleefully enjoy nerfing things. Basically, your jumps are determined by the direction you're looking with your camera, but only while you're moving. So I'd I'm standing still, looking down, and jump up with my jetpack, I'll go up. But if I'm moving, looking down, and jump up, it drags me down. Interestingly, you can actually jump higher now... assuming you're facing the right way when you jump. It's not game-breaking, but it makes doing accurate jumps nearly impossible since you can't look down while you're jumping. I wanna say they didn't do this on purpose because... why would they? It also isn't indicated anywhere in the update notes that they purposely fucked with the jetpack physics. It's just something to overcome, I suppose. You get used to that in 76, something is ALWAYS broken, work around it. They won't step in to fix it immediately, if they ever actually do fix it, and often times they don't, it won't be for months til the next big update. So janky jetpacks for all.
Fuck you, Bethesda, I knew you fucked with my jetpack🤬
And good job, you've divided the Wasteland even more. Personally, I've always liked Ghouls, green and glowing is welcome at my camp. All are welcome. Unless you're an asshole. If you're an asshole I will set you on fire. I thought Ghouls were going to be perfect for Bloodied build, but actually since they're immune to radiation, Bloodied doesn't work for them. Instead of radiation build-up they get the "Glow," so you actually end up with higher health rather than the lower Bloodied requires. You can also go feral which is interesting, and apparently you don't have to eat or drink. Like I said, I'm tempted to become a ghoul to test it out, see the benefits. I enjoy my character, and my build, and in general even as a super-powered melee character you'll never be faster than a gun so...It's pretty satisfying watching people frantically try to kill things faster than you can. I just don't care. I don't care if you can one-tap an assaultron with your auto-axe. Personally, being able to one-hit kill everything in game sounds really, really boring. These people show up to events to flex on all the lower levels. Wow, it's so impressive, you push that button so well it totally justifies, and adds incredible value to your entire existence. Fallout is not the place for insane competitiveness. I'd rather enjoy playing with people than beat them down by constantly trying to assert my dominance on them by destroying everything before anyone else can. I saw a post recently that was a guy talking about how women are worse at gaming than men because we're just not as intense... See, the thing is, I love gaming, and I can be pretty intense about it. But. I also have OTHER things I'm intense about. My entire life's value isn't dictated by a game, and even if it was, it wouldn't be by Fallout xD Also, it's 2025, are we really still saying women can't be into video games just because they're women? Yep, my pussy definitely gets in the way of me pushing buttons, I sure wish I had one of those magical gaming dicks then I could finally be good at games😮💨
I don't know what the fuck they've done... but my jetpack is subtly different. And when you've put about 3000 hours into a game, subtle differences are huge. Like the vibration on my controller. I turned it off, but it feels fucking weird not feeling my gun when I'm shooting, it's distracting so I ultimately turned it back on. With my jetpack, it's like I don't have the agility I had. Like my character gained 200 pounds overnight, I can't get the same lift, I can't fly as fast, and it drains away my AP almost instantly. It also occurs to me... that they've just made being a ghoul OP. Like, if you're going to introduce different "races" they need to all have pros and cons. Ghouls have their own personal pero cards, but also have access to the normal cards. So basically, hey, you want even more buffs, go be a ghoul. But maybe there's something I'm not seeing. I'm tempted to become a ghoul just to have the full information of what it entails, especially since you can turn back to human for free the first time. That kinda bugs me though. I feel like if you go ghoul you should be forced to commit to it. Because... if ghouls can go back to human, from a story perspective, most of them probably would so it doesn't really make sense to the greater Fallout story. I get it's purely a gameplay thing, but still. If I could be a ghoul without looking like a ghoul I probably wouldn't mind. But... I like being pretty xD
Omg, Bethesda, I am so over your shit xD
Hey... why play a game when for $15 they'll play it for you? They'll just hand you a fully equipped, ready-to-play character, you don't have to play the game at all. Such true ingenuity in the gaming world, no body actually wants to play games, right? That is insane. How long before you can buy a 1000 level character? Just charge $15 for every 50 levels, you know there are idiots out there who would pay it. Why would you wanna explore the Wasteland, find your own equipment, create your own build when you can just pay Bethesda to do it all for you?
Fun fact, you can join multi-player events at any level. You can come to events at level fuckihg 1, and you should because the higher levels make it easy XP. But if you think being level 50 is going to make you competitive in any way, you are so WRONG xD Try maybe level 450 on the low end. And it's so easy to get to level 50, it takes like no time especially when you can already start at level 20 for FREE.
This is why relationships are so insufferable to me, because the world is all about instant gratification. You shouldn't have to put effort into anything, even the fun stuff, love NOW, sex NOW, I want mine NOW. Why should anyone have to work for anything, struggle and building character and having personality is for pussies.
I hate this planet xD
The Universe has stripped me of my emoting button xD And, let's be honest, I probably deserve that, I've pointed, and laughed my last laugh... The downward D-pad button on my PS5 controller has been iffy lately. To be fair, I've dropped my controller plenty of times so... it's not necessarily surprising. But that's the only button that isn't working correctly. And the only thing that button does in 76 is control my emotes. It's a bigger pain in the ass for something like Dark Souls or Elden Ring where that button is used tp switch between consumables. But in 76, it's purely for emotes. I've noticed if I give my controller a smack on the left side, it'll start working again, but it shorts out again if my controller vibrates so I turn the vibrating off, and now that's throwing me off because I'm used to the feel of the vibrations when I shoot my gun. I might take the controller apart, and clean it, make sure everything is connected. Or ya know... just keep smacking it. My controller is apparently a masochist like it's owner, it needs a good smack to get going properly xD
It's the last day of season 19 in 76. I don't really have anything to get done, just fuck around til it updates tomorrow~
I wasn't kidding xD
The RAU is more difficult to aquire than any dress I've ever had my sights set on irl. Diamond Honey Hospital Bunny got nothing on the RAU. Although... someone did offer to trade me last night for their Glowing Jackalope. They didn't say what they wanted, they just messaged me right before I got off. Yeahhh, I dunno... A Glowing Jack might increase my odds of getting a RAU trade... It's the IT mask this year as far as Fasnacht goes. So obviously that makes me incredibly suspicious. There is a blacklist you can look up in the community of people who scam on trades. Or, of course, you can get a courier from Reddit. Anyone willing to trade away a Glowing Jack either has 2 or is up to some shit.
When you're doing Asylum runs, server hopping, looking for the RAU...
"I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"
"I Can't Get No Satisfaction"
"I Was Made For Lovin' You"
Back to back on your Playlist... The Universe mocks me.
That's it, I'm switching to sea shanties xD
This is what I imagine every guy on the other side of the screen looks like irl xD
You know, the ones who title themselves, "Godking Supreme Destroyer of Worlds."
K, buddy xD
Especially the immediately overly hostile ones. Those are the most fun to destroy~
What a tremendous loss to female-kind. May we all hang our pussies in shame.
When I'm laying in bed, warm and comfy, drifting off to sleep, and suddenly it hits me...
Did I eat my cranberry cobbler?
I remember cooking them... but did I actually eat them after or did I let them go bad?
Yeah... there's way too much free space in my head these days xD
I don't hate the horns with this outfit...
I just don't like that they're on a headband, it's costumey.. So I still think the antlers would look better. Someone actually stopped to take pictures of me while we were in an event. There are two ways to take pictures, via photomode or you can pull out an actual camera like a weapon, and have your character physically take them. So I was in Radiation Rumble, center platform, and I like to keep track of who is around me, what they're using, what they're doing. And mid-event this guy in power armor comes walking over, feral swarming out the pit, pulls out his camera, and starts snapping pictures of me xD Which was fine because there were several people there, he didn't need to be shooting. I am curious why he was taking pictures. Maybe a reference to my outfit for later, like I said, I haven't ever seen anyone wearing it. You have to put the request in at Bethesda's site, and it's actually part of a whole bundle of items which costs 1500 atoms, equal to about $15. I had almost 4000 atoms already when I requested it because you get atoms included if you do their monthly subscription of Fallout 1st. But ya know, is it worth $15 for an outfit? I guess it depends on how often you wear it. It's unique enough, in my opinion, probably because most people can't be bothered to make item requests. It's super easy though, it has its own form, and you pick what you want from a drop-down menu, they send you an email asking you to confirm, you confirm, and they unlock whatever it is on your account. Which is nice since apparently some items just never come back to the actual shop. But otherwise, when you take pictures they actually become the backgrounds for your loading screens, or maybe I'll be posted on Reddit xD That's actually how I found out about this outfit, someone had posted a picture asking where to find it, and I thought, hmm... I kinda like it. Most of what's posted on the 76 Reddit is people looking to trade for rare apparel because everyone is constantly looking for the TLC, TFJ, and RAU, especially the RAU. I spent a little time tonight looking for it. I haven't really been coming across hardly any of the colored uniforms lately. I found one blue tonight in probably 50 severs, and in that particular server there was someone in stealth armor just sitting there, watching whoever was coming, and going in the asylum. I mean... if that's how you enjoy your time in game. I don't understand it, maybe they're keeping track of whoever is looking for uniforms... for some reason🤔
I don't think I've ever heard anything quite as disturbing as school-girl type giggling immediately after walking into a cave named Necromancer Cave...
Finally, we got devil horns~
And, the Dark Harlequin face paint.
Both of these I had to order straight from Bethesda Customer Support. Actually... I initially ordered them back in January I think, and I guess they had some kinda issue with it, and I missed the email, forgot about it during Fasnacht Day, and finally remembered. It actually took less than 24 hours to get these items on my account with the correct information. These are old Atom Shop items, and if you contact their customer support, and have enough atoms on your account to pay for it, they'll unlock certain things for you. Which is pretty cool of them. The horns in particular I've been waiting to come back into the Atom Shop, but I guess some things don't get recirculated. Now... there's an antler headband I've got my eye on that I think might look nice with my sexy barbarian Harley Quinn. And I could finally get the Cuddles the Clown outfit.
Not to wear obviously. To put on a mannequin at my camp~
I know, I just got the horns, and now I want the antlers... The horns don't match my outfit xD I've actually never seen anyone in the barbarian outfit which is bizarre to me... Almost every female I see in 76 is dressed like a fucking 50s style nurse. Then there's me in my horns, and my basically fur lingerie. Yep, sounds like me xD
If Harley Quinn were a slutty barbarian queen xD
My character looks... unsure about this outfit. The variety of female outfits is pretty bad in 76, consisting mostly of ugly ankle length dresses. So I was kinda shocked finding this. I don't hate it. It's got more sex appeal than anything else in game.
Also, Kill, Laugh, Love.
Which just so perfectly fits my aesthetic~
Not quite as impressive anymore after the dragons I've seen in Elden Ring...
But still quite lovely~
My dad has recently discovered the jobs of online shopping so every time he sees me he whips out his phone, and shows me all the D&D shirts he's been ordering xD
Yeah... if you wanna know why I'm such a nerd, that right there, all my dad. None of my siblings are into nerdy shit though...
I encountered one of the few truly toxic people I've ever met in 76. I had just finished an event, and was fucking around as my camp when suddenly I'm hearing explosions. Being in a safe zone I know that the only thing that can be causing said explosions so close to my home is another player. I look around, and sure enough there's some idiot level 400 on my roof shooting my camp with an explosive weapon. Not doing any damage, but still, I lock my camp away, and shoot out a laughing emote as he comes crashing to the ground. I then proceed to walk away, down the road as he's raging on his mic, "I got seven characters higher level than you, I'm a beta player, bitch." So go get 'em, then maybe you'll be worth killing. Which is also the point, upon hearing his voice, I realize this is like a 13 year old xD And he's following me as I walk away, trying to bait me. So then a level 3 walks by us, minding his own business, and this douchey kid starts shooting at him. Ah, yes, you are certainly something killing a level 3, you sure showed me. But again, this is clearly a child. And children in general are toxic. My oldest niece was saying some girl in her grade walked up to her, and told her no one likes her. Which, ya know, teenage girls are pretty hostile. I wasn't that hostile as a teenage girl, obviously I was an angel... My hostility came later after many unfortunate experiences with guys xD And I say guys cause they sure as shit ain't men. Sadly, Wolfie is included in that cause... men don't do that, they don't just run away, and disappear with zero care for how their leaving will affect you, Wolfie only really seemed to give a fuck about how it all, and everything ever made him feel. I tried to tell myself he left because he thought I'd be better off without him. But he threw me away to save himself. I was just a loss he was willing to cut. He didn't give a fuck how tremendously hurt, and traumatized I'd be from him just... being gone one day. That's not the behavior of a man, and it's certainly not the behavior of a Dom, maybe a fake one.
And he's probably laying in some ditch somewhere, drunk off his ass, asking the Universe as he so often did, "Why am I so alone?"
Choices.
Anyway, after finally killing this 400 fool because killing a level 3 pushed me there, I found the level 3, gave them a bunch of free shit, and remarkably the level 400 immediately left the server. Little shit. There's just no reason to behave that way. Sure, if you're RPing a Raider, and some people do get into the whole RP thing, sure, be the bad guy. But this little idiot was just looking to kill a higher level. Most of the 76 community are the kindest people you'll ever meet, and we really don't tolerate that kind of ass-hattery. Especially if you're just gonna run away. Go ahead, go run, and get your higher levels, I'm waiting, come whoop my ass then xD
If your little number is so important to you, do it then❤️
Cause level means nothing in 76, and if you've been around since beta... you'd think you'd know that?
Well. Sly's buddy, the one who knows Dark Souls, called me today while I was on Dark Souls 2, and he was on 3. And... we talked a few hours about Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and mostly Elden Ring. Disappointingly, I wouldn't call him a true Dark Souls fan because he doesn't like, nor has he finished 1 or 2. Now... how the fuck can you love 3, but dislike 1? I cam see disliking 2, it's different from 1 and 3 in a variety of ways. But dude, what the fuck? He couldn't get past Blighttown xD Come on now. Yes, Blighttown is a pain in the ass, but once you get the bonfire on the bottom, you're basically done. "I can't get past the big club guys."
...
Run by them. And he claims he's a Dex build, right? Ok, I know very intimately how to run a Dex build, it's my build, so I know personally you can fucking run straight past those guys to get to Quelaag. I can't respect you as a gamer or as a man if you can't even get past fucking Blighttown. And having the bad take opinion that Dark Souls 1 is bad... because you suck? I don't get that. What I've gathered from speaking to him is that he doesn't enjoy games for their difficulty which is why he loves Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring because they're objectively the easiest compared to 1 and 2. He does know a lot about Elden Ring lore, I'll give him that. But his opinion on Marika is that she turned against the Greater Will, and that she's the one speaking through the Two Fingers. I don't know if I can see that, I'd have to think on it. But that's the great thing about FromSoftware lore, it's so obscure that you can speculate almost everything. He also told me he hasn't beaten Bloodborne because he can't figure out where to go after Blood-starved Beast, and this seems tp be a common thing with Bloodborne, people getting stuck at Old Yharnam. I'm not really sure why... Go through the church, find Amelia, kill her, get the pendant, get the password, go to the forest. Easy xD Or take a right at the chapel with Amelia, and go fight the witches. It's a dead end, but it'll help you level up if you can't get past Amelia, and the witches are one of the easier fights. I don't think the sack guys come out til after dark, after Amelia, and even then Hypogean Gaol just loops back to Old Yharnam, you really need to get past Amelia to progress. But again, I don't understand why people get stumped trying to find her, it seems like pretty natural progression after beating Gascoigne. I think it's obvious Bloodborne is still my favorite🖤
Sly's friend was asking for my Discord, he's curious what I look like... Yeah, noooo xD Any time I make a gamer friend, and show him pictures of me... it makes them weird. You don't need to know what I look like to game with me. Do you ask other guys you meet to see what they look like? Probably not. Maybe if you become really good friends with tthem. I just wanna play games, and talk about lore... that's as far as it needs to go~
Obviously, I'm not ashamed of how I look, I rather enjoy my physical appearance. But. Ya know. When guys I game with realize that I'm not some 500 pound ogre, that's when they come up to me in 76, hand me a ring, and, "I saw this, and thought of you." And if I were into said guy, if I'd displayed any notion of being into him at all then that would be incredibly sweet. But like... if we're just pals, makes things a liiiittle awkward. It's just better if they assume I'm the ogre xD
This is the bulk of what I need for my platinum in Dark Souls 2. Unfortunately I'm not a caster so I don't necessarily seek put spells. The first time I played Dark Souls I do remember using pyromancies, but I'd rather just use a bow if I really need a ranged attack. I'm guessing some of the spells I need are going to be boss soul spells... But I haven't used any of the boss souls I've aquirer so hopefully I don't need to replay multiple times getting a soul multiple times to create what I need. It's not that I'd mind playing through any Souls game multiple times, I can't even tell you the number of Darkwraiths I've had to grind out for titanite slabs for the Dark Souls 1 platinum... I always think I might try playing a caster because some of the spells look really cool, especially in Elden Ring, but it's just not me.
I thought Season 20 of 76 would start today, but they've pushed it to the 18th. But that's not entirely bad because the new Dragon Age is currently free on psn. Of course, I've heard awful things about it, pretty much all bad, but you have to realize... Inquisition is a phenomenal game. But the first two Dragon Age games? Nothing spectacular. Not necessarily bad, but not really great or memorable either. So as a series it already isn't the best. But I'm willing to try. Often times I tend to have the opposite opinion of most people so I don't like going into anything with bad expectations just because the mainstream sheeple cry it's bad. Most people, in my experience, are whiney little bitches who live to complain about anything and everything. Maybe it makes them feel important. Again, it's like all the people who hate Dark Souls 2, but love Elden Ring when you can easily see how Elden Ring came from Dark Souls 2. The difference? Ekden Ring is a Souls game on baby-mode. And you know I have tremendous love for Elden Ring, I'm not trying to bash it. But let's be fucking real, they held way back with the difficulty in it because when most people are confronted with a challenge of any kind, they give up, and cry, and whine, and, "It's the game's fault." You see the same thing in 76, they have completely redone that game to be wholly new-player advantaged because goddess forbid you should struggle at all in a SURVIVAL game.
Well. Fasnacht Day ends with a whimper. But Sly pulled me into some shenanigans with him, and a couple buddies of his so I was a little preoccupied. Haven't played much with Sly lately, or anyone else really. I tend to do that, go through periods where I just kinda isolate. But I don't mind jumping in to help him, especially since they're all under level 150. It's funny because as soon as he brings me into a voice call, all the guys will be chatting away... until I speak, and then it gets very quiet except for me and Sly xD Like, ohhhh, you're Psycho, we were expecting someone... ya know.
Actually though one of the friends he introduced me to is a huge Dark Souls fan so we got to talking about that. It's always weird talking about Dark Souls to someone who actually knows what I'm talking about xD Sly says Dark Souls fans scare him. I mean, we should, we're extremely masochistic, we enjoy extreme levels of pain, it brings us immense joy to suffer xD Sly has started streaming, which he didn't let me know before I joined the call, and I only realized when he started talking to people in his chat. So that was kinda interesting being involved in my first stream. They definitely buffed the Wendigo Collosus cause I used to be able to basically take him down myself, and four of us went in, and FAILED. To be fair, they weren't helping much. Sly... is never prepared. His weapons are always broken, he never has ammo anyway, and he never has healing. So he goes at this boss wielding an axe... And dies many times of course. At least he tries. I asked him when he'd be up for going into his first Raid xD It's gonna be a fucking massacre~
Finally, the one rare mask I actually wanted because... obviously I love clowns~
The Buffoon~
This, and the Jackalope are probably the only cute masks in the entire lot. And since Fasnacht Day ends tomorrow, probably the last rare I'll see. But considering I got 6/10 of my rare masks just this run... I'm not going to complain cause a lot of people seem to get nothin'. I'm ready for Fasnacht Day to go away for awhile, it majorly takes away from everything else in the game, and the lag from the afkers is annoying. The new season is supposed to be starting on Tuesday, and I've cleared the Scoreboard so I'm ready. I'm ready to see the Wasteland full of ghouls xD
Sometimes I'd swear I was still in Elden Ring~
All the people who dislike Dark Souls 2... And yet, Elden Ring obviously took a lot of inspiration from it. The theme of trees is also particularly important in Dark Souls...
These pillars? The Archtrees from Dark Souls 1.
I was thinking... what if the Greater Will told Marika to shatter the Elden Ring? Cause that's one of the biggest mysteries, in my opinion. Specifically when Melina talks about Marika, when she quotes her, Marika sounds wholly devoted to the Greater Will. Why would someone so steadfast in faith suddenly turn on their deity? Unless that very deity told her to do it. Most of her imagery shows her as being crucified. Shattering the Elden Ring meant shattering herself. A self-sacrifice or forced on her? Shattered got what purpose? To build a better world? The Greater Will willed for one of her children to rise up, take her place, make it better, and when they all failed to do so, just kinda fucked off, seemingly. But... there's something leading the player character. The guidance of grace, literally the Greater Will leading you. But why lead you to the destruction of the Golden Order, possibly the whole world? That's a large part of many religions, destroying in order to recreate better. That's also part of deeper Lord of the Rings lore, evil is so embedded in the world that even the god who created it can't simply destroy the evil without completely destroying the world because they're one-in-the-same, and that's their plan, eventually, completely destroying the world, and creating a new one without evil. But I mean... it's not like they planned for evil the first time so what makes them think the second round will be any better? And if you, as the ultimate higher power, did create this thing that you willfully made to be evil... kinda takes away from the whole "free will" thing. And why did you create anything just to be evil, oppose you, rise against you? Just so you could br the good guy? Knowingly, willfully, purposely putting evil into a world you created... doesn't really sound like you're the good guy. Vanquishing the evil that you created, that you knew what it would inflict on the world, just to vanquish it to make yourself look good... That's not the good guy.
Just saying.
And if you didn't create it for that intention, if it developed that way despite you, well... you must not be as all-knowing, and all-powerful as you'd have your creations believe. And it'll only happen again in your bright, shiny new world. So which is it? Are you as equally evil as what you unleash on the world or are you simply a fraud?
