It sounds amazing to me.
Quote from: Marie Monday on Jul 26, 2024, 02:50 PMOne thing that's nice about Holland is that liberals are considered centre to right wing here (at least, if the term liberals is used in America the way I think it's used) and they dont get lumped in with leftists. Except there's always the 'oh no I'm soo left wing on social issues, I'm just more right wing when it comes to economics' people
It's the same in America, it's just that our politics are so right wing that liberals are thought of as leftists.
I saw Han Bennink and the ICP orchestra yesterday and it was delightful. An odd but moving moment was Han singing a song by Misha Mengelberg at the end

I wanted soft rock but looks like it's leaning more towards rock opera.

"Why didn't we go live in Russia or China if that was the way we all hated the United States of America."
That line is just as popular today as it was back then.
Except that these days the idea of living in China looks better than ever.

I shared to a few discord servers
John Densmore (The Doors) - What's In My Bag?
Sleep - Sleep's Holy Mountain
Rock Opera looks good to me for the next battle.
So many great albums in that list. It's going to be tough voting albums off.

Quote from: SGR on Jul 25, 2024, 09:56 PMBear no shame in using the mimic (or summons)! I use it in every boss fight.There's a weird kind of purity testing in the Souls game communities about things like this. Does it make the fights easier? Yes. But I'm almost 30, and I don't have the time or the fucking patience any more to beat these boss fights the 'legit' way (solo). I will use every single tool the game gives me to win without shame or regret.
When it comes to those big ass furnace dudes, I still haven't figured out how to beat them.
Yeah, it's not an exploit so completely legit strategy. In a way, figuring out a way to make boss fights easier is also kinda clever (unless you're just looking up cheese methods on YouTube).
Also, I'm in my 40s and just wanna play it however I find it enjoyable. Needlessly spending hours on one fight isn't necessarily what I like the most.
I did spend at least a good hour trying to beat ancient dragon Sesennax (?) or something above jagged peak. In my best attempt , I got him down to like a 5th HP, but eventually I get stun locked and flamed and die.
I'm not even sure I need to kill him, but it made me take a break from the DLC as I figured there was stuff I could do in the base game so I looked up an interactive map and.. oh shit. There are even Golden seeds and Sacred tears I hadn't found yet and I think I found like 4 extra world bosses just from riding around randomly. The mirage tower I hadn't done and I found two more dungeons..
I'm OP back in the old world of course, but that makes it a nice way to get back in the groove. There are so many game mechanics that I've yet to really explore, like throwable consumables. What the hell is perfume? So yeah, I'll wrap things up there, learn a bit and then go back to the DLC after 🙂
