Beat the boss at the top of Shadow Keep, really wasnt as bad as all the whining on youtube led me to believe. Don't think I'm even close to finished. Massive expansion.
Idk about the whining since I'm not checking anything Erdtree-related on the internet, but he definitely posed a big challenge for me (not roadblock-level, but it took me like an hour of attempts and trying different weapons and status effects.. which I honestly enjoy more in ER than learning the bosses' moveset). Ofc, every player's experience against X boss depends on their build & what they use. But, that said, every Rememberance boss I've fought in the expansion so far is vanilla Elden Ring boss on crack. So aggressive, so agile, delayed 720 tracking spins that don't make sense, and may employ The Camera™ against you, even if playing without target lock-on.

A lot of the negative reviews cite him and the Hippo as being "too hard" and that Miyazaki shouldn't have made his game so difficult. Good thing they're being gatekept by these ones cause if they tried to fight the actual hard bosses in the DLC they'd probably fold into their own *** and create a screeching singularity. No spoilers but this DLC has the hardest boss FromSoft has ever created, that is true, but it is neither of the Shadow Keep bosses.

I'm actually curious what kind of players are making those complaints. Anything I've seen in Elden Ring so far can be trivilaized with Spirit Ashes and/or NPC summons, while going mano a mano is usually challenging.
Looking forward to checking out Souls vets playtrhoughs (Distortion2, Lobos Jr etc) after I'm done with the DLC to see how they fared against the different bosses
Same ones also saying that Relanna took them 7 hours
I've been watching aggy/gino play the parts that I've already played and they get slapped sometimes but they're also doing self-flagellating builds and forcing themselves to use the new weapons regardless of how poop they are
Sleep to make her doze off, then apply Scarlet rot (dragon breath, destroys her just like it destroys everything else), and Bloodflame buff on Nagakiba for bleed. Magic defense incantation helped a lot - just like how Flame, Protect Me! helped a ton against Messmer. Defensives buffs seem essential in the DLC
Got around to watching Furiosa today. Didn't like it, completely understand why it flopped in the box office. First two chapters were a slog, bored out of my mind. Anna Taylor-Joy was fine, she didn't do a bad job, she just isn't Charlize Theron. Chris Hemsworth was not good at all, didn't like his weird Australian-like accent. Maybe it's time to start thinking that he just isn't a good actor.
You know, its kinda incoherent when they ask people to be multidisciplinary while technologies becomes increasingly more complex.
Its like there are loads of theories of development, UX, infrastructure, engineering, and still company expect a single person to go there and "make things happen" with a handful amount of people.
Yeah, I totally agree that handing-off tasks is the resource sink in a pipeline but you cant demonize it when your alternative is having one single person doing it poorly instead of multiple specialized people doing it more efficiently.
Hand-off is entropy, but so is switching gears to prepare for another entirely different role.

But but, hiring 5 specialists that does 10/10 in one field is more expensive than hiring 1 people who is 8/10 in one field and 5/10 in 4 fields!
Especially if the revenue difference between 5/10 and 10/10 isn't large enough to justify the cost. (Sometimes they are, but not everyone will see it)
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
