the Hearth @Felthry@awoo.space

@Kaffe@chitter.xyz of the fromsoft games we've played, it feels like dark souls 1 is the only one where magic is particularly viable as a main damage source
-F

@Kaffe@chitter.xyz ooh, I see!

We never played with magic in DS3 because we heard it was pretty useless and we weren't big on the FP system

might want to try it more in ER, might make a second character and do magicky stuff with them (the one we're playing now has just enough faith and int to apply a weapon buff spell or two and we don't plan on investing much more in that)
-F

@ziphi pokemon stravinsky!
-F

@Kaffe@chitter.xyz does equipping one spell multiple times do something in the DS3/ER magic system? I didn't realize that
-F

@owashii@plush.city i mean if it works better for you then go for it!
-F

@owashii@plush.city we used to have that worry, before realizing that "real" and "fake" aren't meaningful descriptors, it's just whatever helps you understand yourself/ves better
-F

@owashii@plush.city pretty sure that's what some systems mean by median, too
-F

@trysdyn Just blame autocorrect if anyone asks.
-R

@owashii@plush.city yeah that's kind of us too
-F

@gardevoir and then the person calling out for your help turns out to be a giant pot with arms and legs, because fromsoft games are ridiculous sometimes and it's wonderful
-F

@trysdyn this is why we just always use "ms.", which was a title apparently invented in like the 70s or something by feminists who wanted to avoid that exact problem (and somehow managed it, which is promising)

or we'll use a professional title like Dr. or whatever, if they have a doctorate or whatever, of course
-F

@gardevoir and occasionally just a voice calling out "can anyone hear me?" while you ride past
-F

@river that's a pretty controller! the colors remind me of some friends of ours too which is nice <3
-F

@pup_hime someone allergic to apples, presumably
-F

i noted in the image description that we can't really identify the people pictured in the background due to having some degree of face-blindness; if anyone can tell us who they are that'd be appreciated

i suspect the bald one is putin but am not certain enough to say for sure
-F

i'm going to say "probably not" on this one

wars generally are not legal, but also i don't feel like the aggressor in a war is going to pay much attention to legality, particularly not when it's putin
-F

@kat I am also glad of this, because at anything beyond a completely surface-level reading of the game that's who he is, and his characterization in kingdom hearts and stuff has been generally pretty out of character
-F

@socks basil and garlic would make a good burger!
-F

@socks You can mix things into the meat before you cook it too! Our dad always put some chopped onion, salt, and pepper into it, and sometimes mixing in some cheese can be interesting, or some spices if you want to add a particular flavor
-F

@gardevoir okay good, time to try playing with some then

we don't remember how DS3 worked
