- Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? 1 week ago:
A bit absurd, in my limited experience. I did a bow with a one-handed rapier-like sword and a parrying dagger in my one playthrough so far. The bow was irritating to aim and arrow flight seems weirdly inconsistent on distance, but when it lands it’s about as overpowered as sneak archery in Skyrim.
The parrying is similarly strong — enemies could kill me if I wasn’t paying attention, but you can parry the majority of attacks, including things that seem impossible, like parrying a bear biting you, and the parrying dagger’s window is overly forgiving and overly spammable to the point that I had to stop myself from using it sometimes. I think parrying with other weapons is less silly, but I didn’t mess with them enough.
I also didn’t try the magic, so someone else can pick that part up, but it looked pretty extensive.

Funny you should mention it…

I coveted mine (variations of the LUCCA A53) for about seven years before I could manage the funds. It still feels absurd but I can’t argue with the results.

I gave up completely and just bought an espresso machine. Sure it’s gigantic and it and the grinder take up a fuck ton of counter space, but turns out making a latte the way I like it wasn’t that hard to learn.

I think this is the first time I’ve seen you post something that isn’t sexual innuendo.

Oh wait. Is it the initials? My brain got hung up on using parts of the name.

I’ll bite. What?
- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 7 months ago:
I mean I don’t think this’ll work, but I don’t really get why anyone is mad about it. It was a little difficult to get used to but not exactly impossible. Seems like harmless fun.

Haven’t played this, but I think Bastion is the first game I remember doing the grandad voice thing. I enjoyed it there, not sure about liking it elsewhere.
