I'm glad I was able to find a physical copy of KF4 because, last time I checked, the iso has a game-crashing bug when emulated

Play Shadow Tower: Abyss. It takes some shifts in mindset to get the hang of it -- status effects are everywhere but curatives are pretty easy to get, treat equipment like temporary consumables because of how fast it degrades, avoid hoarding poo poo because your bag fills up quick -- but it's got much more natural controls than KF and battle mechanics with better flow. It's such a weird, hostile game, I love it.

My power levels aren't high enough to get more than 20 min into Shadow Tower PSX

Specialised variants include the Shop F*cker and the Small Talk F*cker.

the only thing the game didn't do was just to plaster a "JUMP OFF THE EDGE RETARD" sign at the end and even then that's what the player messages are for.

what, and actually listen to a 'treasure ahead therefore try jumping'?

im a very trusting person :smith:

what's the message system/culture like on bloodborne? being a colossal easily pleased idiot, I can't help but cackle at 'horse ... therefore wheel?', 'try dashing through but hole', 'listen carefully, skeleton!' etc. in inappropriate places, but I don't have a good sense of the funy message laughs of bloodborne and its more complex message system, beyond 'reeks of wheelchair, no mercy for elderly'.

i still don't think many souls bosses will top artorias, though - something about the combination of his creepy roaring / the sickly light / the music / circling each other in the amphitheatre still gives me chills to this day.

I know everyone's probably mostly in awe of the corner of the giant plaza turning into a huge ambulatory and malevolent tree-being and the ballista bolts sending enemy hollows (?) whipping across the screen, but I think the bit I liked most in that video was running about in the collapsed, angling tower. buildings with the angles off are my good poo poo in games - there was a ton of it in Lonesome Road in New Vegas, and a bit in DS (in Shulva, and I think a little bit in Oolacile), and it's good to see it here.

I want to find the guy that made Iron Passage and toss him off a cliff.

iron passage is cool, imo, since it's really really claustrophobic, and gives the sense that you're worming your way through a hostile gauntlet of lightning bolts and leaping hollows with giant axes.

also top tier invasion spot, btw.

I was at work late last night running around taking down some numbers for things and when I had to get my pen ready I slammed the pens clicker button into my thigh like it was a blood vial (from Bloodborne) and I bet if anyone was around they'd have thought it was totally fuckin badass..
