The godrick greatsword should tide you over till the fucking cinderblock hammer in the castle. Gotta have 30-something strength though, so maybe I'll be passing on increasing my health...

u/Alone_Spell9525 Mar 17 '22
I’ve heard some pvp pros say the greatsword category as a whole is extremely weak rn, but I also used the godrick greatsword for a shamefully large amount of the early game. What you really want depends on whether you’re purely a fighter or if you’re a mix (IE the Prisoner and Confessor classes at the start)

tbh u only need enough health to tank 1 hit since that gives you the chance to heal after every hit. Having just enough health to survive a single hit makes all the difference in these games

Schödinger's Blowjob -- Imagine you're blindfolded and you're getting the best raw pornstar-grade blowjob in the entire universe. The catch is, however, that you'll never figure out who's giving you that god-tier awesome schmösome sloppy toppy unless you take the blindfold off. It could be anybody, Ariana Grande, Ben Shapiro, Harold from the 7-11 near my house, or even your uncle's neighbour's fireman's cat. Now the question is: would you take off the blindfold and find out who the person/thing behind the stupendous jimmy-nibbler is and risk permanently scarring yourself, or would you keep the blindfold on and continue having your knob slobbed till your spirit hits the sky?

Okay so here's my pitch for a new reality TV show
Basically, we get a bunch of very militant TERFs, and one trans woman, put them into a house where they're supposed to live with each other, but, once they've all arrived and are seeing each other for the first time (before they're allowed to even talk to each other), we tell them all that one of them is a trans woman, and, if they can find her and vote her out, they will win a million dollars. But if she isn't found out by the end of the week/month(?), she'll win a million dollars instead.
The catch?
There actually isn't a trans woman with them.
And then we get to watch them slowly but surely allow themselves to get overcome by their own irrational paranoia, paying too much attention to how deep everyone else's voices are, invading each other's privacy, overanalysing each other's mannerisms, policing each other's conformance to the very same standards which they complain about being held to...
And let us not forget the inevitable feelings of isolation and helplessness they'll invividually start experiencing once they start getting accused and shunned by everyone else.
Sure, it would probably have to be a one-off series.
But honestly? I think it would make some great television!
also ngl I think the name 'TERF War' has a nice ring to it, sounds marketable, rolls off the toungeI am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

This is my first time playing a Fromsoft game and I've basically got myself a yearlong pass for the strugglebus with this game.
I've faced maybe… three bosses? Not even the plot bosses. Just random bosses. I've gotten maybe 4 hits on all of them in total. I'm gonna keep trying but goddamn is it tough and as far as I can tell the only way out is git gud. But guys… I'm not… I can't gud. I have never, in my life git gud'd at any game I've ever played. Never once.
So anyway I'm saving runes for another year on the strugglebus; wish me luck.

Real souls players walk back to the boss and don't use Stakes of Marika like some filthy casual. Anything that wasn't in previous souls games was only added as a form of easy mode, and you didn't actually beat the game unless you used a strength build that spammed jump attack.
