I think I read that it's available later today or midnight for most of the world. My copy is coming Saturday. That's way too long to wait. Please keep me in your thoughts in this trying time byob. |

If you need to stop playing you can save and quit at any time. The only problem is that if you're fighting a boss it will put you outside the boss room and reset the fight |

okay that's not that bad! soulsgames seem like something i would like but i tried playing dark souls and it failed to hook me. my brother did buy elden ring and we have family sharing so maybe i will try this one out. it's funny because i've seen a bunch of people talk about not looking up news to go in with fresh eyes and i basically know the game is called elden ring and i bet there are swords in it. i do like swords.

okay but this is the thing: i love monster hunter very much. i was talking to my brother about this and i think it's just that i can't take what i guess would be described as "gothic horror" seriously. i like to play video games to have fun, not to be grossed out by monsters that are metaphors for menarche. this is completely a personal preference, and one that i've aged into i think. it would be an interesting experiment, to take an adventure combat type 3rd person game and then release it with two completely different visual styles, one being cute and silly with pet dogs, and one being grim and dark with pet monsters and see which people prefer.

ac:odyssey : i usually hate big slow weapons in games like this, but i've realized that the huge blunt weapons are really good at dealing with bears, and also the x+y special chain just chainkill a bunch of mooks which then fuels your adrenaline back a fair amount

I started playing Stranded Sails because I wanted a fun adventure game. It's more like a chore simulator, but whatever, it's cute. Except for the monkeys. There are monkeys that show up and beg for food. If you give them food, they give you treasure. They also lie on their backs and spread their legs open. It seriously looks like they're presenting themselves. It made me think of that awful story about the orangutan that was being abused. Fortunately its' not the only way to get treasure in this game made for children. |

I am actually enjoying monster hunter world. I've gotten to rank 7, and I'm pretty much decided to invest in using the bow and long sword. Not sure if I'll get the Iceborne expansion. I don't really see myself playing Rise or any of the others, I think this game is enough |

god yes, grimdark has its place but i am so sick of everything having to be so relentlessly bleak and punishing in defense of dark souls though there is a japanese concept that something that is desolate and broken can be kind of beautiful. i read an interview (and fuckin wish i could find it) with the designer around the time dark souls 3 came out where he explained the concept and used a big japanese word, but the nearest i could find was from this vice article: quote:"What we want to communicate to the fans is that there's an inherent beauty that can be found within everything, beyond all the withering and decay." |

more like the broader concept of mono no aware, but there is a big word that im pretty sure starts with u which means old, derelict, abandoned, decaying, damaged, but there is a certain aesthetic beauty in that. not in fixing it but in the thing itself it was from an interview with the director but i can not for the life of me remember if it was around the launch of ds2, ds3 or bloodborne. it was a gaming mag and it opened by explaining the concept. i wish i could find it |

so what you're getting at is that dark souls' aesthetic is like a mall that used to have a sears and a belk but now the only place in it is the movie theatre and some little kiosks

Also, can you see what buff/debuff/enhancement you have on somewhere?

If you check your inventory, the tutorial stuff can be examined again in the very last tab. I think your buffs and debuffs are under your health/fp/stamina in the top right, but I have no clue what the icons mean. The hugging lady gives you an item where you can use FP to boost your poise temporarily. She won't give you any of the Blessings or whatever if you already have one in your inventory though she's always down for a hug. e: top left, rather |
