Reference to my previous post wondering what the default intended method of play is.
Why is there a trans flag in the background of this community?
What? No, I was just asking out of curiosity. I don’t know too much about the community and the whole instance, but from what I understand, hexbear is for people who are fond of communism/socialism and countries like China, Russia, North Korea, etc. It just so happened, that before seeing this post and noticing the background in question, I’ve seen the news about Russian LGBGQ+ communities switching to more independent social media (e.g. Telegram), because of the crackdown, and there was also that story about the politician who had to change their gender back for similar reasons. And now I am a bit lost, because from what I see here, people in hexbear, lemmygrad, and ml instances tend to support LGBTQ+.
are you lgbt yourself?
If you were looking for a country that matches Lemmygrad and hexbears politics the closest it’d probably be Cuba
I usually try and solo bosses becuase I’m a Soulsborne pervert. But I was fighting Rellana last night and got her down to like 1% before dying. I wanted to go to bed, so I got the summon and used a Mimic Tear to just finish the fight.
The three-way curb stomping we did to her was … horrifying, like I was ashamed at how easily and completely we humiliated her. I felt so guilty that I betrayed the git gud lifestyle that I’m beelining to Elden Beast and NG++ today so I can do the fight properly.
Yeah, but the mechanics really push you towards certain builds. Bosses are too fast so 90% of the time you can’t use slower, heavier weapons effectively.
I also didn’t like how they went hard on “long wind up but extremely quick execution” for lots of boss attacks. In DS1 and DS2, you can kinda dodge attacks on instinct alone if your reaction times are good. In Elden Ring, you just have to remember the timing on the attacks which isn’t that engaging. Eventually, I just used my first attempt on ER bosses to kite the boss and study their patterns.
For the base game I was annoyed that every fucking weapon I found along the way was either a dex weapon or intelligence scaling magic weapon, when I’d gone strength/faith. Every dungeon I’d come out with either new spells, a new casting staff, or an intelligence weapon
By the time the game really starts giving you good faith scaling stuff and faith spells, the game’s reached the point where most enemies and bosses are resistant to faith
At some point I’ll probably try again and just not do the strength route again
Game devs often suck at video games, by virtue of having jobs.
