Tell them about the tournament!

I recently did another runthrough of ER as a landsknecht- zweihander only, no fancy magic or nose powders or pebbles in the ear, just good ol' fashioned hitting with a big sword. It was delightful!

The zweihander is good because a surprising amount of tough enemies will stagger if you twat them with it, which makes a lot of otherwise very difficult fights remarkably easy as you just clobber big orrible bastards into the floor repeatedly until they die.

Especially if you put one of the big caveman smash techniques on it.

the biggest challenge was trying to do Radahn super early so that I could get the landsknecht armour as early as possible, but what am I supposed to do, run around with a big ol zwei WITHOUT obnoxiously fancy armour?!

Eh, you've at least got the various lordsworn knight sets to tide you over until you can savour the full joy of pantaloons. They're agreeably fancy, and only slightly anachronistic to the zweihander.

The carian knight set is very swanky and goes well with the red and blue headscarves and some shiny kecks.

Also if you haven't tried it yet, I very much recommend using a pair of thrusting swords so you can be the fanciest lad who ever walked. Woefully impractical but by god do you feel dashing doing it.

for sure, I think I was using whichever faction had red & green (stormveil?) in the interim and that felt suitably fancy. I avoided the red and blue (because UK is bad bang back on topic!!!)

2 hamded swords are usually good in souls games, most of them get substantially easier when you (A) go fastroll zweihander and (B) roll towards enemy attacks instead of away.

I found a sweet set of dragon-themed armour in Farum Azula and stuck a giant pair of horns on my head and I look rad as poo poo.

I went full bleed with shitloads of Arcane, and while I very much love it I'm extremely mad that everyone talked me out of Madness "because it only deals good damage against NPCs and players" and it turns out that no, it's absolutely ludicrously OP against most bosses as well.

That's basically my Skyrim technique. Put almost everything into Heavy Armour and Two-Handed (with some into Smithing :smith: and Enchanting to improve my weapon), then clomp around in a full suit of the heaviest armour I can get and wallop enemies with a big gently caress-off hammer (which I renamed Big gently caress-Off Hammer). If an enemy survives one hit, then I just hit it again until it stops being a problem. Who says games can't teach valuable life lessons?

Madness as a status effect is situational, but the actual spells are still shooting giant bolts of lightning fire at stuff, which it turns out is still pretty deadly even if the thing you're shooting it at doesn't have a brain to melt.

The single bolt spell is basically an anti material rifle that also gives the target anxiety if it survives several shots.

Pure faith incantations is the most fun and powerful thing you can do in the game and it's a big secret even still because Comet Azur won the meme wars and the starting spell isn't quite as brainless as Pebble. There's one madness spell that is only usable on other Tarnished but the rest loving shred. Uncharged Lightning Spear is ignored by enemy AI, you've got access to every element and status effect, as well as to a handful of the most brokenly OP spells in the game. I killed Fire Giant hitless in 5 casts with Pest Threads, for example, and Knights and Omens can be juggled with Crucible Horns which is boosted if you're wearing some of the best armor in the game.

If you're full arcane just level up the Dragon Communism seal and cast using that.

Binchat, I know (NORMAN!), but three times in the last five weeks our previously weekly bin collection has been missed. Went to the council's site to complain ( :laffo: that you have to wait until 11pm to put in a complaint - has anyone ever seen a bin lorry out that late?) and on a hunch checked the 'collection times' page.

Yup, they changed to a fortnightly schedule without telling anyone.

Some genius-level thinking here. "If we only pick up once a fortnight, we'll halve our expenditure!" Except the standard bin barely fits a week's worth of rubbish for a household of four, so now you have to drive over to the tip with your excess once a fortnight, creating more pollution and congestion. Or, and I'm sure nobody without a car (or even with one) would even consider doing this, you just flytip it.

It's a Tory council, of course. Fuckers.

i would simply find out which councillor proposed the motion, collect up all my excess rubbish and lug it over onto their garden
