I'm just saying, it's better to be set to good adaptability by default.



Also I am completely blown away by how much HBomb has done in the past 29.5 hours.

what you mean you don't like loving worthless dumpstats that exist to do nothing but make the game feel like poo poo until you dedicate enough levels to negate it entirely?

This has been a brilliant experience. I paid to sub to a twitch stream and donated through twitch for the first time this has been so great. Hbomb, when you get back here I hope you're incredible proud of yourself, even more than when you broke down overwhelmed with emotion over what you've accomplished.

Honestly the thing I don't like about it is that you don't have to bother with it. Like they had the awareness to get rid of Resistance and then then replaced it with a stat that slightly increases i-frames. Like people point out that the i-frames of base adaptability fast roll is comparable to the DS1 fat roll, but that suggests to people that the roll itself is comparable, when to most players the thing to give a poo poo about is the mobility. The timing is just a bit tighter if you don't level adaptability. Why even have it?

At this point, Mudman abruptly ends the conversation. He usually insists on the last word.
The thing I liked about adaptability is that it allowed you to consciously spec into a dodge build over a shield build.

Like one of the weaknesses of ds1 and ds3 is that there is no good reason to never have a shield because having a shield doesnt have any consequences.

A dude with a shield can also dodge as well as someone without a shield so it limits the variety of builds you would see because the optimal build was so narrow

I would argue DS2 and 3 both do this by making dual-wielding viable.

Primarily 2 with its power-stancing > 3's specific dual-wield weapons

I'm still mad about how they hosed up PvP in dark souls 3 to such an insane degree. I'd rate the games 1>2>>>3.

This stream has been such a good platform for trans creators, too. Like the dev of Secret Little Haven, the game about the kid realizing her gender thanks to a magical girl anime, was on before, along with Casey, Nyxfears, and more.

There's a doc that's compiling all the guests. Here it is.

CaseyExplosion has been doing the absolute lord's work on this stream. Like, she's been on almost continuously and has been sorting quite a few of the guests out too

I'm shocked that no one's made a live reaction thread about this.

Also, notable British man, is totally not mad about this. He's actually laughing, in fact.

The twatitude of Glinner makes it harder and harder to watch Father Ted, a legit classic comedy, every single day. Dermot Morgan is likely spinning in his grave.

If you do wanna do Morrowind, just remember: Its a pen and paper game in 3d. Numbers are important, you should pay for training your stats early on and stamina is uber important. Its so important, when paying an NPC to enchant something an item that is 21k can cost 17k if you just rest beforehand :v:

I'm still undecided how I'm gonna handle it. On the one hand, I can easily imagine getting annoyed by some of its eccentricities, but on the other hand I generally prefer experiencing older games in context so just modding out all the weird mechanics would also feel wrong. Aint gonna touch those graphics though, that's for sure.

Oh at the very least you should be aware of HBomb's callout video before he decided to sacrifice three years of his life live on stream 100% a notoriously bad game.
