[Discussion] Dark Souls vs. Elden Ring: Do you prefer DS's interconnectedness or ER's open world?
  • Just looking down every time and thinking “can I go there?” felt great.

    Start going down a random well in Leyndell, follow down into Subterranean Shunning Grounds, past the hidden wall in the Cathedral of the Forsaken, past the hidden wall in the Frenzied Flame Proscription, down into Deeproot Depths and the Nameless Eternal City, ride the stone coffin to Ansel River Main and finally get a glimpse the Lake of Rot which restarts the cycle 👌

  • no other hobbies
  • I wish the best for those legally compelled by their HOA to maintain a colony of unwanted plants.

    Maybe one day sanity will return to their regime and they'll be able to grow tomatoes and other peasantries like the rest of us.

  • Looks like federation times are back up with Lemmy.world again.
  • Ya you're right. Just seeing it in chart format triggered an some kinda emotional response and I just sorta vomited a reply. Sorry about that.

    I just came for a good time and I'm having one, even if it's not perfect.

  • I appreciate the transparency, but fucking hell, are we pariahs?

    Recently I wanted to make a comment, but I wasn't logged in (I clicked a link that took me to a different instance and did not realize it).

    I came back here , searched for the community, I sort by new to find the post... and it's gone.

    The irony is that I wanted to reply to some guy dunking on how our instance is a ghost town (was gonna reply with a pic of the Q Continum and joke that not all ghost towns are as they seem)

    But since that moment a few days ago I am noticing it constantly.

    Sucks feeling like Ro and LaForge being out of phase with the enterprise majority of the fediverse. It's really taken the wind out of my sails the last few days.

    Crestfallen rant aside, I'm a coder by day I would like to know if I can offer any generic technical help (I don't know lemmy, but maybe I can help debug the issue 🤷‍♀️)

    Again thanks, sorry if I'm coming off angry I'm just disappointed and using your comment to get it out.

  • Just Finished Lower Decks
  • Buffertime episode was the one where I became hooked.

    The show consistently delivered until the very end, at least for me.

    My only petty gripe is when I recently rewatched an episode: Riker comments about seeing Archer and the gang in the holodeck and now that I've seen ENT...I don't want to be reminded of the finale. I told you it was petty!

    5 seasons and a movie, make it so!

  • [Discussion] Which Soulslike will you be playing this weekend?
  • Here's somethings I found along the way you may or may not find helpful:

    Phase 1:

    • Once you get the dodge timing for his spinning missile dive, it leaves a perfect windows for a jumbo DLC rot pot which usually triggers rot immediately (depends on your arcane and if multi-player I think).
    • When he does the blood flame sword attack, just circle behind him while walking (if you're already in melee range)

    Phase 2:

    • The timing is tight, but if you dodge the thousand-year-voyage-hug responsively enough it leaves another window for a pot. I prefer frost pots in phase 2.
    • If you're just gonna block the orbital lasers you have enough time to throw another frost pot if you're already in range.
    • The meter strike is the most volatile aspect of the fight, I learned to save my wondrous physick for this moment to ensure I survive. If you went rot in phase 1 and frost in phase 2, switching back to rot after this attack helps burn him down.
  • [Discussion] Which Soulslike will you be playing this weekend?
  • Stuck with it! He's the first boss I feel like I truly mastered; and I hated it at first!

    Not sure what your build is, but for whatever it's worth, I find it a much more enjoyable battle with blocking than with rolling.

  • [Discussion] Which Soulslike will you be playing this weekend?
  • I always think I'm done with Elden Ring, but lately I've been itching to solo PCR (Promised Consort Radahn) with no spirit ashes, well the dragon priestess one to be specific.

    I like to take pride that independently realized l could hard counter the meteor spam by switching to a second shield with Vow of the Indomitable

    The best feeling in this game, at least for me, is the eureka of connecting the dots and trivializing a given challenge.

    Edit: jargon

  • I'm finally going to the 🪩DISCO🪩
  • I am now more impressed at what Lower Decks did with fewer, shorter episodes a season than Discovery.

    Well said, I can't help but agree.

    I'm part of the sad cohort that liked S1 the most, so I envy those for whom the show got better. Yall got a much better ride.

  • Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Season 1 Wraps Filming
  • ...all estimates to date project that the series will debut on Paramount+ sometime in 2026. In the meantime, the show has already been renewed for a second season of production.

    Glad they believe in it enough to want a second season.

    Now I wait until 2026 to see Parrises squares onscreen at last 🙏

  • Is this still a thing? I haven't played for a long time

    Also, Engineering: divert all life support to shields and Helm: initiate attack pattern alpha 💪

    Gowron delivers every single time 👌

    House of Quark is a high point where he saves Quark’s life and allows a Klingon woman to inherit her own house.

    Tacking Against The Wind is a low point where he is reduced to a cartoonish mustache-twirler.

    Anne Rice is a helluva drug

    The movie’s still great, but the book was really that amazing.

    A history of violence

    Possibly unpopular opinion: Harbinger is one of the absolute best episodes of Enterprise

    Who says S31 gets to have all the fun?

    These episodes live rent-free in my head.

    In hindsight, "the Xindi attack" was a phase change into a much more hard-boiled season of Enterprise.

    They cranked it up way past 10, all the way to 24.

    I wasn't ready for a 28 episode sustained descent into darkness

    > I look at you, and I see the person I was three years ago. The explorer that my father wanted me to be. I lost something out there, and I don't know how to get it back.

    This one hit me hard after everything that happened.

    Watching Enterprise for the very first time

    I'm finding it a very root-beer-flavored entry in the franchise.
