I am a weirdo in almost every facet of my life. I don’t drink at all and I don’t want to be around other people who drink. For the most part. Most people vastly underestimate how drinking affects them, and it’s not pleasant to witness. It doesn’t help that because I am empathic, I absorb… Continue Reading
Before Elden Ring came out, there was a discussion on various sites about spoilers. What is one and what isn’t. Most sites came down to, “You have to know what is a spoiler for you” about which I agree. However. I find it humorous, specifically in terms of FromSoft games that many games sites don’t… Continue Reading
It’s been a few days since I got the plat, and I’m still playing Elden Ring on the daily. But much less time every day than before, which is allowing me more time to think about it. First, a note. I am really tired in a way I haven’t been since…that night. Or rather, that’s… Continue Reading
With the Elden Ring plat in my back pocket, I still have more to say. Here is part one, and here is part two. This is part three, and it’s probably the last post I’ll do on the plat itself. Obviously, I’m going to keep talking about the game, but there is only so much… Continue Reading
Part two of my musing over the Elden Ring plat. Here’s part one. I ended that one by talking about how I’m not a min-maxer and I mostly just go by feel. I know there are people who live for that and I thank them for their diligence because I can check out the stats… Continue Reading
I platted Elden Ring last night, and I’m still flying high about it. As we all remember, I had four bosses left (well, five, but one was inconsequential–or so I thought), and my plan was to do one area with two of the bosses yesterday and then the last area with the last two (three)… Continue Reading
Today is GeoffCon, which has caught me by surprise. I knew it was coming up because Ian was going to it, but I thought it was next week. It was not. He’s almost on his way now (flight delays. He was supposed to go yesterday) and will be there for the next few days. The… Continue Reading
I finished my second playthrough of Elden Ring yesterday. FromSoft, of course. I will get to that in a second and talk about getting the ‘bad’ ending, but first, I want to muse about some other things. I suck at these games. I have not hidden that–hell, no. In fact, I’m quite open about the… Continue Reading
I love Elden Ring. I know I don’t have to say it, but I wanted to state my love at the forefront of this post. I’m trying to shield myself from the inevitable pushback when I note what could make Elden Ring better. I speak from a point of wanting to make the game better,… Continue Reading
Elden Ring is the first FromSoft game I’ve played since my medical trauma. When the trailer was dropped at GeoffCon in June of last year, I could barely contain my excitement. I had all these grand plans as to how I was going to play it. I would have one character who was fire-based and… Continue Reading
