No soulslike right now, because I’m working my way through the Resident Evil series in order, but this made me want to play Lies of P again.

The first one that came to mind is Sif in Dark Souls, specifically if you do the DLC first and she recognizes you. She goes from a regular monster boss to a sentient creature with a long memory and complex emotions.

Also, poor loyal puppy baby.

Got to be Circe. But chickens instead of pigs.

One of the food delivery apps labeled something “long distance delivery” at five miles. I could walk that. I didn’t, but I certainly didn’t pay someone else to drive it.

I live in a purple (supposedly) state and my grandfather suggested at Christmas that crosses should be burned in the yards of people who had signs up for a black democratic politician. Had no fucking clue he was like that. Haven’t seen him since.

So it doesn’t have to be a blue state, I guess, is my answer.

Dignity and Grace are strippers. It’s actually a confession.

Does the alpha male have a yucky tummy? Poor thing.

I do, and it’s not relevant to the conversation.

Adding the option is a change you’re asking to make to FromSoft’s pizza. That’s the point. It’s THEIR pizza. They don’t make a pizza with difficulty sliders. Aggro Crab and Spiders make difficulty slider pizza.

The hypothetical conversation with Sean Evans.

EXACTLY. What you’re missing is that you’re asking for alterations to someone else’s pizza rather than making your own or finding a different pizza.

Who said anything about a party or feeding anyone sauce? Playing the game is the option. I’m setting a goal for myself to get to that level. I’m getting the sauce for myself. I don’t need you to be part of the conversation.

Since I’ve seen your other reply, this got even funnier. “Do you think the entire point of pizza is sauce? What a fucking insult to cheese.”

“Pizza has sauce and cheese. People like pizza that has sauce and cheese.”

“I LOVE PIZZA, I JUST THINK PIZZA SHOULD HAVE LESS SAUCE! IT WON’T CHANGE THE PIZZA!”

That seems like a lot more work than just trying a new hobby.

The analogy doesn’t work because your philosophy clashes with someone else’s. My fun is from eating progressively spicier hot sauces to build a tolerance to capsaicin, until I can talk with Sean Evans about our opinions on General Satan’s Colon Evaporator. If you extracted the capsaicin from General Satan’s Colon Evaporator, it is no longer General Satan’s Colon Evaporator, and you can’t actually contribute to the conversation.

“Everybody” that plays in the NBA is literally on the same playing field. “Everybody” at a basketball convention likes basketball. But those are two very different groups of people.

There’s a lot of “you made your art wrong” in here. If you don’t have legs, you’re not going to be able to play soccer. You can make your own no-leg soccer if you want, but I’m just going to make an “ew” face at you if you say that soccer needs to change for you. Try arm wrestling!

The best argument against games (or any software) that don’t work for you is that you often can’t get refunds, and that’s a valid concern, but it has nothing to do with the content itself.

One of those “emphasis can be placed on any word” sentences.

Sekiro bothered me, too, and I played all the Souls games. I got to the boss that wants you to jump and redirect lightning, and I stopped. I understand the philosophy behind making bosses unique, but it’s basically a QTE without the button prompt on the screen, and that’s not what I wanted from From. Also that weird fog that wants you to use consumables. I don’t do consumables.

Who, besides most people, could have seen this coming?

Completely unrelated, ondansetron is what I’d expect to hear when Santa upgrades to robotic reindeer.

That’s fine, but it’s very far down the list of cities I’d expect to have a conversation or even hear about.
