It's not an awful game, imo, but you can see the seams in the patchwork. I liked the world and some of the companion questlines, but there was also a lot of unnecessary fluff in flowery language, especially when a certain someone was responsible for the quest.

tihis, it was an acceptable non-lethal substitute for the real thing for those whose withdrawal symptoms had reached a critical level. i backed it on kickstarter

I got the platinum trophy for FF7 on PS4 and now I never want to touch it ever again

Like, I love it but I spent so many hours grinding the North Cave for AP that the charm has pretty much gone

*Morgan Freeman Voice* and in the end she did cuck spiffo.

It's genuinely crazier then that. Spiffo basically pushed her into having threesomes with their male friends "to show her off" and she eventually caught feelings for one of them and realized she didn't like having sex with Spiffo, she wasn't really attracted to him, and ended up getting "too serious" with the other guy and Spiffo had a meltdown over it.

Pretty sure they're still married and recently had a child together.

Thanks to Gamepass I found a bunch of cool RPGs I'd never been interested in. Pathfinder was cool enough that I bought it and all the DLC on Steam. Dragon Age Inquisition also owns so far.

Need some more crpgs though. The 40k one coming out next year should be good hopefully.

I read the original Groverhaus thread for the first time a few months back and what surprised me most was that there wasn't a single negative post in it. When/where did it actually attain its notoriety?

only later after it became possible to make fun of grover openly

my hot take: groverhouse isn't that bad. like its a weird DIY house but there's a lot of those out there, i think a lot of the criticism of groverhouse is just at this point third hand performatively keeping an old internet meme on life support for no real reason

Someone working on it for 10 years is releasing a book. It covers only Dark Souls 1.

quote:

Abyssal Archive is the culmination of years of determined research and writing by veteran Souls scholar Lokey, who combined his understanding of Japanese and deep familiarity with Miyazaki’s oeuvre to mine unique insights from Dark Souls’ source material. All of that learning has been distilled in these two hardcover volumes for fans interested in deepening their understanding of Lordran’s tumultuous history as well as its characters’ exploits and tangled relationships.

It's going to cost $183.

Yeah there are a lot of cool Lore Facts channels and theories - I like Hawkshaw for having the most informed-by-myth-and-influences approach - but too many of them are bitesized tearjerker stuff like what Vaati puts out, or ENDING EXPLAINED crap for pudding-brains. What Lokey is putting out is absolutely more my speed but Jesus 180 dollars???

EDIT: okay there's gonna be epub and audio versions at a more reasonable price, I'm keeping an eye out.
