my real issue with elden ring is that my first fromsoft game was sekiro, meaning that i want everything to be sekiro and none of the others are sekiro

it took me a long ass time to get into elden ring, but when i started focusing on the NPC quests and found a sword i really liked, it clicked for me

hey i just want to say real quick that i'm not the person to go to for info on the future of LiS or questions about what's going on at deck nine. I got laid off over two months ago, and i don't have any insight. please don't ask me to break NDA. my attention is focused on finding new work rn.

i like to think that about 80% of development of a fromsoft game is the team sitting down and making a list of interesting new kinds of pervert

I think I own Hollow Knight on four platforms. No cost too great.

You won’t see me doom-posting, not particularly because I think things will be okay, but out of a sense that despair is one of the least pleasurable emotions, and a well-honed hatred of letting my enemies see me sweat

back to playing elden ring, and i love how no matter how good you get at this game if you approach any fight the wrong way you will be instantly owned. keeps us humble.

lowkey a thing i love is the first dishonored game where every guard has the same voice, so every ambient conversation sounds like some dude talking to himself. effervescent.

Every time the cultural discourse swings back to “we need less grimdark bullshit” it’s terrible news for those of us who like to feel bad

A thing I love in the Magnus Archives is in the latter half of the show when the protag is turning into a lovecraftian horror and feeling the impulse to hurt people, and he goes to a character who has been a monster for a long time and asks her “when do my emotions turn of? When do I stop caring?”
