I kinda wonder if Darkmoon Greatsword just makes dragon fights way easier by virtue of having a near-infinite projectile that inflicts frostbite that you can just always swing at their heads

ah fuck I forgot Bayle in HMs too, same problem as Messmer - summoning Igon makes the fight just that much easier

however, it is 100% necessary for pure aura

CURSE YOU BAYLEEEE

Gaius was really frustrating but I think the fight would feel infinitely better if they just fixed his charge, nothing else was too bad

Also the Leda & friends gangbang, I thought that was one of the best NPC fights Fromsoft has ever done and it hit way harder having done everyone's questline

Worst boss fights: Every fight that was just "lol here's a base game fight again, you remember Deathrite Birds, right?"

HMs: Scadutree Avatar (that little sunflower thing was wild and i loved its animations) and Messmer (I think I would have really loved him in a 1v1 but I summoned Hornsent for the quest so he was kinda trivial)

Radahn is... a really *cool* boss but man that P2 is just kinda bullshit

There's "the base" (politically engaged people who don't post obsessively) and then there's THE BASE (people who vote dem for principled reasons who also may or may not know any rep besides their own)

If your mom knows who Chuck Schumer is she's in the first category subset, not out in the second

Which isn't to go all murc's law, just that they are in fact now a malevolent force untethered to anything any human can do to change it (outside of elections), and we should plan/act accordingly

He was posting about the filibuster because he's an angry fox news grandpa

Thune and everyone came out of the meeting and said the idea was DOA

that is a *long* time of starving people on SNAP and forcing federal employees to miss rent payments and potentially lethal chaos at airports for a "might," friend

glad for Cristo Fernandez getting more work but man it's so funny how my mind sees him and goes "Oh hey it's Dani Rojas"

Nah, it was the right issue to pick a fight on. It wasn't ever gonna *win* but that wasn't the point

Ahem:

Speaking of "DC brain rot" - the idea that anyone is going to remember *any* of these specifics in 12 months when they're in the ballot box and not "holy shit my healthcare is so expensive I am mad at Donald Trump and Rs"
