(anything happens) i had a round of space station 14 like that once saying "the binding of isaac is a roguelike" is a bit like saying "heavy tf2 is a twink"

It gets on my nerves the way some people employ "no ethical consumption" to wokely cross the picket line. Entertainment is not a food desert, and if you actually believe hogwarts is your only option for mental stability, you're a deeply sad person and I hope your friends think less of you.

your regular reminder that buying Harry Potter stuff gives money to Rowling and she uses that money directly and in large quantities to fund attacks on trans people

no ethical consumption under capitalism and all but “don’t buy Potter stuff” is an extremely easy baseline to follow

The upcoming Hogwarts Legacy 2 could potentially feature more characters from the Harry Potter books and movies.

they made big monsters walkable which is pretty neat, I think you used to just slide off in DD1 but now you can use standing combos and skills while essentially mounted.

Took a weird route into bakbattahl, heard this is where performance gets bad and I haven't exploded yet but there's a lot of characters being unloaded/reloaded.

Brief reoccurance of the good old gran soren triggers played in reverse as the camera focuses on a tavern that I literally just came from.

just had a pawn tell me that a quest I finished went differently in her master's world, which really stood out among the other usual quest complete banter.

I don't even blame them, that boss is pretty mean.

Okay this is like the Incredibly Funny version of monhun dual blade's demon mode. It's like the shitpost elden ring flask (2x causes an explosion) except you can and should be using it in every single encounter

Also killed my first drake, either didn't get lucky or dragonforging is based off the blood material(/currency?) that they drop now.

guys augural flare is Not Okay

maxed sorcerer rank, dipping into thief now for a few augments.

Stacked as much fire resist as I could find in my stash (29%). Self-immolation still hurts A LOT.

...found out you *are* allowed to i-frame it with the auto-dodge master skill. So it's... just a skill off-limits to pawns, I guess.

been sitting on this post overnight and honestly i think if you in a bad enough place the licker is preferable

gatr @cgatr.bsky.social · 16h

'confront your inner demons or get murdered by a licker' idk man

gatr @cgatr.bsky.social · 1d

so yeah apparently initiate really was just That Bad

i am pretty sure archon is still kind of a nothing rank tho lol but definitely not something to feel bad about, but we'll see how badly I get dumpstered in my mmr soon

gatr @cgatr.bsky.social · 1d

"alright they recalculated everyone's ranks in deadlock because like 99% of players were in initiate, but i'm not that good so surely they didn't bump me up that far"

deadlock ranks. there are only 4 rank tiers above my current rank.

1 2

probably not doing anything other than just hopping in to reset my mystic setup again but fluxclaw changes *do* feel better in that the cooldown increase/cast time decrease incentivizes weaving it in between bell attacks, which i was already doing, instead of just holding down the button

slop!! slop!! slop!! slop!!

gatr @cgatr.bsky.social · 1d

hoping later armours, or dragonforging, lets you reach the same levels of resistances you could get in DD1... though each piece would probably have to be near 50% resists, since there's now only one slot for both upper and lower.

Ruth: I am not dressed for this.
Alice: You don't seem to be in your jammies.
Ruth: No, for self-immolation.

note for later: mark down the exact wordings for options at inns, smithy, maybe general stores, maybe also a few of the elvish weapons I've found too... also take notes on upgraded values between vermundian/elvish. Might be able to do some letter substitution early, learn a few things.

gatr @cgatr.bsky.social · 1d

I wonder if I am gonna have to do some tunic decoding to figure out what elves (and dwarves) are saying or if there is gonna be a "learn elvish" side quest later.

zero mention of siphon life in the patchnotes 👍 meanwhile multibash (a skill that did not need help) and prism (a skill that REALLY did not need help) both got buffs

gatr @cgatr.bsky.social · Jul 12

Imps are completely cooked, siphon life not only has a chance to miss, but monsters can just block the initial hit now so you don't siphon anything. Also you siphon for like one restora total. Also curis is a general spell that Angela hands out for free at lv12 and it heals for the same.

gatr @cgatr.bsky.social · 1d

100km away from home rn so I can't play the atlyss update but "aww that's sweet/hello human resources" meme @ curis nerf and restora nerf, respectively

no ethical consumption means no consequences, guys, i can fund as much evil as i want as long as i have fun, it's not like there's unlimited other videogames out there that *don't* cost $100, it's not like that phrase basically only absolves people who have like no water and have to rely on nestlé

gatr @cgatr.bsky.social · 2d

it turns out that items with an unreliably low proc rate are pretty good if you just get an augment that essentially forces proc rates to be guaranteed

gatr @cgatr.bsky.social · 2d

okay i got my first win (normal). i did my usual bullet hell thing where i lose repeatedly on the first or second stage of hard and that acclimates me to be able to sightread normal, which is totally a thing i do on purpose and not essentially ragequitting

gatr @cgatr.bsky.social · 2d

i also find it extremely funny that the area bosses turn into mspaint animals

they gave sif judgement cut end

gatr @cgatr.bsky.social · 2d

NOTHING is gonna make the "you are now a gridbug" mechanic feel *good* and i'm not sure if gamepad *helps* but it sure makes my hand cramp a little less (the other option is risk of rain 1 controls)

gatr @cgatr.bsky.social · 2d

I think my main criticism is that sometimes floor rectangles are transparent enough to be basically invisible until there's no more bullets on the screen and you realize "oh SHIT i need to be over there

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

if you think about it, ordering something online is kind of like the exact same as leaving an old fucked up office chair in front of your home 👍
