Is this your first Souls game? If so your personality sounds perfect for it.

The hardest part will be making the combat click for you, as it will feel sluggish at first, but once you figure it out you'll be doing circles around enemies. Also learn to not target enemies.

Yeah, it is. I tried it on PC once, but the controls were total rear end and I returned it. I've "watched" him play all three + Bloodborne (not always paying attention/in the same room though) so I'm familiar with what they're like. Wasn't sure I'd like them until Mario Tennis broke me though, lol.

I have a feeling my first death is going to be to gravity because I am always falling off of poo poo in video games and plummeting to my untimely demise, it is my No. 1 cause of death. The only thing that prevents this is if the game literally does not allow fall damage.


edit: realized shortening cause of death to COD in a video games thread is not the best idea

Like, I have several black friends on Facebook and they seem to be the loudest asking for more pictures of dark skinned Bowsette.

It must be frustrating to be black and not see a whole lot of dark skinned characters represented in videogames, let alone entertainment in general.

Then I look back on Nintendo's 35 year history and I'm racking my brain trying to think of any dark skinned characters in their roster. Marina?

Bowsette gives them a way to express that frustration.

I feel for them.

This is because 99% of the characters in Nintendo universes are shaped like Goombas

Falling is 80% of my deaths in those games.

A bit late, but IMO:

Bowsette exploded because there was some pent up feelings/demand that Bowsette allowed expression of.

Bowsette is non-canonical and therefore free for people to interpret the way they want.

Because it's free for people to interpret, that's an invitation for people to do their take on an idea

Because of that, you see a lot different kinds of Bowsette, each emphasizing whatever is foremost in the artist's mind and de-emphasizing whatever the artist didn't care about

People have a lot different reasons for drawing Bowsette:
Many because they like big boobs
Many because they like small boobs
Many because they like cute girls acting fierce
Many because they enjoy the idea of more women being represented
Many because they enjoy the idea of a trans character getting represented
Many because they enjoy the idea of a trans character grossing out people
Many because they think Peach is boring and this is an opportunity to see a Peach who cuts loose
Many because they think Peach is boring and want her to be sidelined by someone who isn't Peach
Many because they think Peach is terrible and needs to be rejected by Mario and Bowser
Many because they think dark skin needs more representation
Many because they think buff girls need more representation
Many because they think heavier girls need more representation

Whether or not you like Bowsette, I think the whole thing has a lot to chew on and think about the thought processes that made her spread like a wildfire

:wow:

Jesus Christ this thread got super nasty all of a sudden.

Look guys, I took a couple day trip to Shenandoah a couple years ago and on the way through the middle part of the state (Virginia) there are long, long stretches where you only see advertisements for bizarre satellite internet services, and cable is the feverdream of a madman. I don't know how things are in a town the size of 3000 in England, but there definitely parts of the english speaking world where people don't really think about anything beyond the walls of their towns or even homes.

How is it? I've been burned by indies lately and it looked cute but that's not enough to really sell me. The trailer didn't really tell me much about the moment to moment gameplay so all I picked up was that it had a arts and crafts look and you can sing.

If there's one thing that stands out about SA compared to any other forum I've used its how utterly smarmy people can be here, usually unprovoked. I hoped having a paywall would filter the assholes but it just seems to have encourage it.

That’s exactly what he said trans isn’t a thing because they don’t use labels. I get wanting to be mad but read the original post mate. You look really silly.
