Yes, same with every other ledge lol

I agree, the final bosses were super easy by the time I reached them. They feel more like story elements for that reason. The “real” final bosses are in the (excellent) DLCs. Most of them felt like an appropriate challenge.

What they say: DS2 sucks

What they mean: Game is too hard for me

First time playing DS1. I’m trying to keep it mostly a blind first playthrough, but I have had to look up help after trying my best and giving up in a few spots - including those archers.

Like how I wandered all the way down to Tomb of Giants extremely early, no lantern drop, no Lordvessel. The Pinwheel fight was so easy that I thought I must be going the right direction.

That your first time with Dark Souls? I played it for the first time on that remaster a couple of years back. I remember those goddamn Anor Londo archers being maybe the only thing in the game that pissed me off so much I had to quit and come back. Damn near EVERYTHING in that game feels “tough but fair” e

First time playing DS1, yes!

Dark Souls Remastered. Just hit the halfway point (Anor Londo), upgraded to Great Scythe +15 and things are starting to look up. Now the toughest opponent I’m encountering is gravity.

Imagine your favourite food. Ok, now make it disgusting.

Favourite genre: psychological thriller

Favourite movie: Freddy Got Fingered

I’ve worked somewhere that they laid of some of the best employees in the department, simply because they were higher seniority and “made too much money” and had to cut costs. There were plenty of better candidates to let go, if the focus had been productivity, but it wasn’t. They just wanted a short-term solution to balance the books.

So a month and so later, I’m still searching and I just feel bitter and jaded, I’m not getting calls back.

The past few months I have put in some applications for jobs I am qualified or slightly over-qualified for, and same thing - 0 calls back. Best I’ve had is a rare rejection email.

I know what you are talking about, but I try not to think about it too much. First of all, you have no way of knowing for sure that they are being passive aggressive, or just trying to be polite but coming off awkwardly. I hate when people make assumptions on how I must be feeling, so I try not to make assumptions about them. Maybe they got some bad news that day, are struggling with something I’m unaware of, etc.

If I do detect some sort of aggression, I just try to complete my part of the transaction as quickly as possible and be on my way. Maybe they are irritated, but I don’t need to hang around to find out, and digging into it isn’t going to help either of us.

Good good

Depends on a few things. If someone took the time to reply to my comment or post, they get an upvote as long as they’re not being a jerk, even if they disagree with me.

If it’s a post or comment in a post in a smaller community I upvote to show appreciation for their participation.

Funny / clever comments get an upvote.

I only downvote if they’re being a jerk. Disagreement does not warrant a downvote from me, if they are being civil about it.

As for tipping culture being built in to Lemmy, or in general, hell no - downvote for even mentioning that. /s

I completed the Steam 100% achievements for Dark Souls 2 and 3 so decided it was time to try Dark Souls Remastered. So far I think I’m spoiled by the other two games because DSR feels so tedious without bonfire warp. I’m trying to keep my first playthrough mostly blind, but this game does not really seem designed to make that possible. Luckily spoiled the part about going to Tomb of Giants too early and having to backtrack, but I did wander far into Catacombs right after the Gargoyles fight. It’s becoming more enjoyable as I level up and have switched main weapon to Great Scythe, though. Hoping I warm up to it more like I did with DS2 after the initial difficulty.

I’ve also been playing Fae Tactics. It’s surprisingly unique and satisfying with some combo mechanics and customizability. Definitely worth checking out if you like tactics style games.

The Messenger was wonderful. Looking forward to whatever they release in the future .

Don’t forget the brain worms!

I don’t have a way to share a picture of it, but my >6 year old phone has plenty of burn-in. The keyboard, a hamburger menu, a back arrow, are all clearly visible when the screen is bright/mostly white. It’s an S9+, in case that is helpful info.

I imagine that, when your toilet looks like this, reaching the toilet paper is the restroom attendant’s job.

Are you trying to redeem the freebie through the Epic Games launcher? I don’t remember ever having to complete a captcha that way.
