This DLC is massive. That’s the Shadow of the Erdtree, the DLC for Elden Ring. I think I’m around 40 hours into it with maybe 70% of it finished (probably closer to 65%(. Again, I’m slow, but I refuse to believe the people who said that they did everything in 20 hours. They did not.… Continue Reading
I’m back to talk more about Shadow of the Erdtree. As you can see, I have dropped the “A Quick Look” because it’s not very quick any longer–if it ever was. *Obligatory spoiler warning* Before I start, I want to say that FromSoft is getting reviewbombed, as I may have mentioned before. Some of it is… Continue Reading
And we’re back to talk more about Shadow of the Erdtree (which is everywhere, it seems, on YouTube and in the Discord). At the end of the last post, I was talking about the gaol I had just done and my feelings about it. I also mentioned that I was doing some mopping up andjust… Continue Reading
I was asking in the Discord how far along I was in the DLC. I said all the things I’d done, and estimated I was 60% through the DLC. I inhaled the game, gulping it down in healthy bites. Or not so healthy. I have heard the game is thirty hours long, so I mentally… Continue Reading
I have included the launch trailer below that I haven’t actually seen because I try to stay as spoiler-free as possible going into the game/DLC. Oh, and there will be spoilers throughout the post, just FYI. I have been consumed by Shadow of the Erdtree, the Elden Ring DLC by FromSoft. I have played it… Continue Reading
I have now played six to seven hours of Shadow of the Erdtree. I think that’s enough to do an official quick look at the DLC. There will be spoilers abound so consider this your warning. Yesterday, I wrote A Quick (pre) Look about what I expected from the game. I said I expected it… Continue Reading
Shadow of the Erdtree, the DLC for Elden Ring, is releasing in two-and-a-half hours. Wild.I just learned this is for PC only (it’s releasing at the same time across the world). Console release is midnight local time, except in America where it’s being released at midnight Eastern time, all across America. Whatever the reason, that… Continue Reading
As someone who is probably neurospicy in varying ways, one thing that really resonates with me is the concept of hyperfocus. When I am interested in something, it consumes all my attention. For example. Elden Ring DLC is dropping tomorrow at 5 p.m. That means that I will be playing it for hours a day… Continue Reading
In yesterday’s post, I was musing about not even considering that I might be autistic. Plus a bunch of other things, too. I was saying how because of the norm being so engrained (and pushed), you can’t even see that there might be something else. Social skills? Of course everyone knows that when someone asks… Continue Reading
In yesterday’s post, I was musing about how stereotypes of autism blocked me from realizing that I might actually have it. Another one that really tripped me up was how autistic people miss nonverbal/social cues. I have read and heard it said so many times that if you want an autistic person to understand your… Continue Reading
