Welp, my wife got attacked by a dog today. She was dropping ours off at daycare and I guess a guy came in with a dog and just let it walk right up to her while it was on a leash and bite her. There's a couple pretty deep marks; even went straight through her jeans. I don't think any of them will need stitches, but she's at the hospital so I guess we'll see.

assuming you have a choice, is a white person choosing a black avatar an example of blackface (if a minor one)? Serious question

Blood vials are better than estus flasks especially at the beginning because they incentivize the player to keep going even when they run out of healing, rather than having to cut your run short because you dared to try exploring and took a couple extra hits on the way back.

Unless you mean like, the first hour of the game before you even have any in your storage, then sure I guess but in practice, it's just estus but there's too many of them and also you are capable of running out and being forced to grind (because blood vial drops on the ground start becoming way way scarcer in the late game, and also the price of them in the shop increases with your progress) it's better than dark souls 2's "it is literally impossible to be attritioned to death" system but it's incredible that they made an almost-perfect system in dark souls 1 and then keep making worse systems, game after game

I have an involuntary fear of dogs from when I was first bitten by one (despite growing up with other dogs), and ever since I've had a few similar close calls. Hope your wife is okay. I'm guessing they'll give her a tetanus shot.

Stux posted:never understood the blood vial complaints. what was the issue exactly. It'd be perfect if you had a baseline you always spawned with, like if you had fewer than 5 blood vials (counting the ones in storage) you'd always spawn with 5 or something. This issue disappears entirely after a few hours when you can start affording to buy blood vials in bulk but it's unfortunate that it's at its worst in the early game. IMO it's a real issue but a pretty minor one in a game that is otherwise incredible. Elden Ring looks like it has a nice fusion of the blood vial system with estus, where you refill your healing at the bonfire equivalent like in Dark Souls but enemies also drop healing refills like blood vials dropping from enemies in Bloodborne.

Ideally Bloodborne would have allowed you to pick up extra blood vials while you were out exploring to keep a run going but also just top you off to the max carry amount for free at bonfires as well Making them a persistent stock item never really did anything for me EDIT: looks like Elden Ring is doing literally this Monkey Fracas fucked around with this message at 20:31 on Nov 17, 2021 |

I probably would have finished bloodborne if somebody had warned me at the beginning that there was a risk of running out of healing and being forced to grind unless you buy blood vials early while they're still cheap

Running out of heals entirely until you go grind is not something that should be allowed to happen

It requires grinding but it's a very fast grind and once you do that you'll probably never have to think about blood vials again.

Yeah the guy took off, but it happened in the daycare in front of the workers and all the dogs are registered, so we have his name and their records that the dog is up-to-date on all its shots at least.

Blood vials are terrible because they make the game tedious for the exact people who need them the most because those people are the same people who will run out of them

You run out of estus flasks: You die I guess, or have to run back to the last bonfire. You run out of blood vials: You can run back to the last bonfire, AND you can also fight on and pick up more.

exquisite tea posted:You run out of estus flasks: You die I guess, or have to run back to the last bonfire. more realistically: a person will run out of them while fighting Orphan of Kos or something and has to go grind more instead of trying to do a fun boss fight (or just never play again)

Until you really run out of blood vials and die, and then you have to choose between trying again with a major handicap, or going back to some part of the map you would otherwise have no interest in for a while

I mean, by the time you're fighting Orphan of Kos in the first place you can spend a few minutes doing a couple runs of the slime scholar room and buy a ton of blood vials at once. But I recognize that for some people even a 5-minute detour is "y'know what, gently caress this game"-level bad and I perhaps have a broken brain. I don't disagree that blood vials are a worse system than estus, to be clear, I just think the issue is much more pronounced at the start of the game than at the tail end of some endgame DLC. By that point it doesn't take very long at all to just build up a stockpile of a couple hundred vials all at once and not think about it for a while.

True story: I didn't even realize you could upgrade Blood Vials above 10 until I was like 80% of the way through the game. Guess I'm just that gud.

I don't think I was aware of any fast grinding when it happened to me. The fastest spots I had found were much slower than that. I don't remember the name of the boss but it was a tentacly alien thing in an arena with ankle deep water where I ran out

There's a good chance you missed the grinding spot since it's in an optional area, but you do have access to it by that point. It's in a place called the Lecture Building and there's a room with a ton of these slime guys that you can kill really quickly and get a ton of blood echoes. If you have the caryll runes that increase echoes gained that's even better.

I did end up beating the boss but was pretty frustrated with the game and just hadn't been feeling the changes to the combat in general and bounced off right after

Guess I'm just that gud. there's nothing to upgrade, you can carry 20 as soon as you find 20, and they always restore 40% of your health. this is not a true story i guess there are runes that let you carry more than 20 but who uses those over any of the other runes
