Serious question: What the hell does any of this have to do with Elden Ring? Why don't you start a new thread? e.g. Lyric Suite's autistic musings about why feudal Japanese men didn't dress like femboys.

Maybe go back to when the argument started?

We were discussing Miquella being an homofag and whether that meant FromSoft was chasing after modern trends. Some of us argued Miquella being some kind of fem-twink has nothing to do with modern homo ideology, and it's more of a reflection of an aspect of Japanese culture that has nothing to do with teh gay or anything like that.

I believe you guys got lost in the weeds somewhere, but fair enough. Nothing much to discuss atm anyway.

You faggots got all butthurt by my praise of Lies of P, but the truth is: it's got the super tight combat and tense moment to moment play that makes DS1 and BB so awesome.

Only place Elden Ring has any of that is Leyndel and it's sewers.

Just sayin.

Nobody is butthurt over Lies of Piss. It's just another failed Soulsborne ripoff.

I played it, it's 6/10 at best. Combat felt far from "super tight" to me and some of the bosses there were more irritating than the most bullshit fights in ER. I don't think I will ever learn to love constant delayed "gotcha!" attacks.

Yeah, not watching any of that.
Even though it contains new footage? Okay, TL;DW then:

  • Interviewee recapped how the DLC was accessed.
  • Got 3 hours of total playtime, but was asked not to stray beyond the area of the first map fragment.
  • Fought main bosses "Twinmoon Knight Relana" and "Divine Beast Dancing Lion".
  • Dancing Lion boss constantly switches between elements every 30/60 seconds.
  • Footage showed a new grab attack of the Lion.
  • Relana is apparently a gank boss that summons firestorms.
  • Over 100 new weapons.
  • New "Martial Arts" weapon type, there's one that scales more with strength and another with dexterity.
  • Footage of perfumes being used as their own weapon shown.
  • Interviewee's favorite was the dexterity Martial Art.
  • Wicker Man enemy isn't a boss, large wandering enemy roughly on the same level as the wooden golems in the base game.
  • Two Legacy Dungeons available at the start of the DLC, an abandoned castle and a castle currently under siege.
  • Abandoned castle had a gloomy atmosphere, feels "infested", lots of clambering over and around ruins.
  • Besieged castle feels more active, similar to Stormveil, mentions of monster infighting between two factions.
  • Interviewee found the luminescent worm creatures, they are passive.

Maybe you shouldn't have bought Stellar Blade twice?

First @SumDrunkCat, now you? I don't have any compassion for broke boys. Everyone has an asshole, most people have a dick and balls, go outside and get a bag!!
