A teammate and I went down against Artorias yesterday and the only one left standing was an Artorias Wylder. I kept thinking of this comic while our guy tried to solo the berserker. Would be a cool easter egg if a player Artorias loses and then rises up in the infected skin or something as the loss screen appears.

This is great. Chroma can be hard to prompt for sometimes but is so capable. Great model.

There are some Americans that are too

I think it’s mostly price per TB so you get a couple for storage that doesn’t require faster access speeds

It used to be a cycle for me where I would find all this great stuff and expand my subscriptions to feeds and such. Eventually it would be too much and not enough good stuff so I would have to cull and explore again to dial it all in again. But lately that has been harder, I guess for the reasons you list. Lemmy and fediverse feeds help but don’t really scratch the itch either so I find myself mindlessly scrolling a lot like I would do when it wasn’t all dialed in. Not really sure what the answer is yet, entshitification is very real.

Yeah if there was a niche Lemmy sub for everything I would no longer visit Reddit at all but I can’t get my Nightreign fix here sadly

Yeah grower Steve probably would have been totally sympathetic to the Minecraft plight too, base d on the stoners I know

Agreed for the music and the maths. Red got blasted out so it was fascinating to see it work its way back to the other two anyway.

Right? That was my question, why are they operating there at all right now

Me too honestly. I love cars and driving but hate commuting and traffic and finding parking spots - all the frustrations that come when you have to rely on it to live instead of just enjoy it.

It runs on a Steam Deck so it’s not real demanding, Might have to lower the settings a little. It was released on PS4 too to give you an idea.

I never did too much Monster Hunter so I can’t compare. If you liked any of the other Fromsoft games and/or if you’re a fan of Roguelites you’ll probably get hooked. It has a lot of Fromsoft and just enough Roguelite. I have plenty of quibbles with it but have a few hundred hours logged so they obviously aren’t keeping me from coming back.

I always really enjoyed the co-op in the other Fromsoft titles which obviously this has in spades, without the griefing min/max invasions which is an even bigger bonus for me. 99% of the randos have been great, I mean sometimes you get carried and sometimes you have to carry - but there aren’t really a lot of things players can do to ruin your experience.

Once or twice I’ve had someone appear to intentionally tank the run which is rare but frustrating. And maybe 1 in 15 or 20 runs you’ll get someone that’s annoying and pushy about where to go. But I’m generally fine with going with the flow even if they’re making dumb choices and fortunately that’s the best way to handle them. I kind of enjoy the challenge when a Roguelite run goes south anyway. Only other annoyance are leavers which are maybe 1 in 10 runs at most but again, I just see it as an extra challenge to try to finish the run with the one remaining rando or by myself if it comes to that.

In the end, it helps to not be so serious about winning every run but if that’s important to you that’d be the only reason I might suggest staying away.

It’s totally doable. I even had some success at early depth mode.

They patched it a bit after release to make it more manageable so if you played early versions you will notice a difference.

Yeah it’s usually good. Ups and downs of course as is the nature of MP but the fact that there is no chat helps. My friends all moved on so I’ve been only playing with randos and still love it.

Levels.fyi data from 1 October 2025 reveals senior engineers at £206,000 ($375,000) total, but Valve’s equity-heavy model amplifies this, drawing top talent without micromanagement.

This article was here the other day and made it sound like employees are treated very well.

Nightreign ended up being all the things I didn’t realize I wanted in a Fromsoft game. I’d highly recommend giving it a try at some point! The DLC comes out next week too so I’m sure the player base will spike again.

I don’t really want a Switch 2 but my love for Fromsoft eclipses my distaste for exclusives
