My username on various other platforms is actually Vincent K. McMahon. Because that is my real name.

I don't give a poo poo about beating bosses pure on Souls games. I'll fight them with as many other players as the game lets me.

Also, I don't care about beating a game pure either. I'll cheat my rear end off as long as it doesn't bother other players.

I was once featured in an article on Kotaku about EVE Online. That's about the height of my prestige as a human.

Edit - Nevermind, not gonna bring this up in this chill thread.

Edit 2 - You guys should go check out the sumo thread. The January tournament starts this weekend (1/12/2020). It's kinda neat.

there are some dark souls bosses that i thought were harder with extra people. because of the health boost they get. but if you hang back and try to let your guests do the work until someone does manage to mostly solo it for you then this doesn't apply. I like to summon friends because they want to be summoned. that's why they put their sign down there on the ground like that. especially "Sun Brothers" or anyone who receives a reward for helping. i want to play elden ring very badly and if it's not enough like dark souls i'm going to be upset. I want to play more dark souls areas, enemies, and bosses. Argh!

I've tried Souls and Souls-like games so many times and very few of them are satisfying to me. Its mostly because I struggle to get to that level where I can really start clowning on non-boss monsters.

Sometimes when I can't beat a final boss I'll just Youtube the ending and pretend that I beat it.

Yes, we have feathers--but the muscles of men.
If you’re struggling with cholesterol and weight I heartily recommend The Obesity Code by Fung. I’ve lost fifteen pounds since September and kept it off.

It’s about insulin. Insulin makes you gain weight! Science y’all. So it talks about what raises insulin levels, insulin resistance (which directly contributes to the ability of our bodies to “set” a body weight, like you would set a thermometer), and how to lower insulin levels and insulin resistance.

It recommends fasting regularly, cutting out all added sugars, moderating protein intake, and eating diets high in healthy fats.
