Methuselah Freth

@Privatejoker42 You can't, no.

@KettFreth So you're telling me that they can't do math?

Dark Souls 2? no thanks worst one of the series

@Privatejoker42 Seeing as I am gay, no. What the fuck are you talking about.

@KettFreth Do you hate them cause they're gay? it sounds like to me you're making it a more personal issue than an actual game issue

@potterypannel @701delta @MadKamikazius @JakobWright_69 @naranciagaming An unupgraded estus heals more than a lifegem. Of the thirteen healing items in the game, only one heals for less than a lifegem. You can put the ring on, heal, then remove it. Hardswapping is a basic part of optimization.

@KettFreth @701delta @MadKamikazius @JakobWright_69 @naranciagaming I mean, yes, they are. They're better than Estus for a considerable portion of the game lmao The ring is worse because it occupies a limited equipment slot, whilst lifegems do not

why is reading the wikipedia plot synopsis of a movie considered larping now huh

@Privatejoker42 Is what because they're gay

@KettFreth So is it because they're gay?

@Privatejoker42 How is damage calculated in each game. What is the level up cost formula. How does agility work. What is a MV, what is a param, how are HP and HS calculated, etc

@KettFreth You don't know anything I don't already know, but it's not just a from software thing

@Privatejoker42 Because fromsoft games are inherently very gay. There's a reason they have a large lgbtq+ following.

@KettFreth I'm asking you why and I've been getting a vague and gay answer that's longer than needed

@Privatejoker42 You are asking a vague question. If you want an answer, you need to be specific. Or I could just showcase how little you know about fromsoft game design and internal function.

@KettFreth You're literally retarded if you can't understand it's okay bud

@potterypannel @701delta @MadKamikazius @JakobWright_69 @naranciagaming Lifegems are not a powerful healing item. "If they healed at the rate of the ring they would be terrible, and the ring is worse" How can it be worse than it's own healing rate. Are you just fucking stupid?

@KettFreth @701delta @MadKamikazius @JakobWright_69 @naranciagaming i said before, its not simply that it is infinite, its that its infinite *and powerful*. if lifegems were a consumable that regenerated your health at the rate the regen ring did, they would be terrible and not worth using, and the ring is even worse than that

@Privatejoker42 Is what a problem. Use your words, dipshit

@KettFreth It is a problem with from software and souls games or is it because of the actual gameplay itself? that's all I'm asking

@Privatejoker42 This isn't an argument, it's an education. You are being given the chance to learn.

@KettFreth Just dissing from software games and hating it because of how it handles its combat and then coming here to try to get an argument going looks stupid

@Privatejoker42 If you're going to ask a question, you should be specific. Otherwise you just look stupid.

@KettFreth Name a game that does it differently

@potterypannel @701delta @MadKamikazius @JakobWright_69 @naranciagaming You were talking about difficulty being affected by infinite healing. This is a way to have infinite healing in every game. This is again ignoring the dozens of other healing options in every fromsoft game.

@KettFreth @701delta @MadKamikazius @JakobWright_69 @naranciagaming the resource here being the player's time, this would eat an unreasonable amount of time if used as a regular source of healing in place of lifegems in dark souls 2. also i would say it is unfeasible to use it as a consistent heal source at all in a boss fight

@Privatejoker42 "Souls like" is an entirely made up genre. There is no cohesive definition or category. It depends entirely on how much it makes the speaker think of a fromsoft game.

@KettFreth So souls like games in general suck?

@Privatejoker42 How do you trivialize a fromsoft game? Level health, upgrade your weapon, buff it. In every single one. Without exception. The only example where there's a more effective option is DeS, due to how poorly tuned magic is.

@KettFreth Is it because it's just pattern recognition and number checking? explain

@Privatejoker42 How the games function on an accurate level requires data mining to determine. There is no feasible way to learn how they work by simply playing. They are numerically extremely forgiving and simplistic to account for this, rendering them trivial with any amount of knowledge.

@KettFreth What exactly is bad design about their games in general? Is it because they're too hard or is it because it's really nothing special combat wise and now there's a million souls like games out there?

@potterypannel @701delta @MadKamikazius @JakobWright_69 @naranciagaming You are the idiot that is talking about "good enough to beat ds1" Anyone that is alive is "Good enough to beat ds1" If you don't want to engage with the concept, don't use it as a measuring stick without thinking, you braindead fuck.

@KettFreth @701delta @MadKamikazius @JakobWright_69 @naranciagaming how am i supposed to respond to this did you beat dark souls 1 on your first playthrough without dying a single time?

@potterypannel @701delta @MadKamikazius @JakobWright_69 @naranciagaming Feasible, capable of being done, carried out, or achieved successfully with the available resources and conditions. It's absolutely feasible, dipshit.

@KettFreth @701delta @MadKamikazius @JakobWright_69 @naranciagaming You can technically, in between every pack of enemies, use the regen ring to heal, but that isn't a feasible fashion to heal in these games and it's clear the developers don't treat it as a serious option. I'm not "ignoring" anything lol

@TheToxicBulborb @ELONSUCKS3532 These statues are significant because we still have the texts and written records of these time periods. If we had nothing but the statues there would be nothing to remember. You uneducated troglodyte.

@KettFreth @ELONSUCKS3532 Its fact. It may not 100% destroy the history being removed in the moment but it causes a ripple, books and records and even the original people can fade out but statues and monuments can stand the test of time

That was a fucking confederate statue Just say you hate black people gng ✌️🥀

@potterypannel @701delta @MadKamikazius @JakobWright_69 @naranciagaming This is an absolutely nonsensical statement. "Good enough to beat ds1" is having a pulse. Having a pulse does not exclude being so terrible as to use 50 lifegems simply exploring.

@KettFreth @701delta @MadKamikazius @JakobWright_69 @naranciagaming I never said that they would be "Good", I said "good enough to be DS1". If you are good enough to beat DS1 you are not going to be so bad at DS2 that you will be downing all of your Estus and 50 lifegems to beat a level or boss

@Privatejoker42 Ds2 is on par with every fromsoft game. Poor design masked by pretty atmosphere.

@KettFreth Dark Souls 2 is the worst one from them period, especially PC port
