| Topic | Stellar Blade PC - June 11 |
| CassandraCain 05/12/25 9:29:56 PM #13 | The combat alone is enough to carry Stellar Blade, some of the most fun I've ever had. The other aspects of the game are whatever, the addition of open world zones without proper traversal or even free fast travel was a baffling design choice. --- I don't kill... but I don't lose either. |
| Topic | Why does Bloodborne run so bad on PS5 wow |
| CassandraCain 05/12/25 5:39:00 PM #34 | Yes beasts are weak to fire, naturally. Serrated damage also does extra damage to them, which you get with the Saw Cleaver/Spear, although the Spear has the benefit in both forms. Also don't sleep on the transform attacks, they do a lot of damage, you can get off a full R1-L1-L1 combo in quite a few situations with the Saw Spear and it melts HP. Charge attacks can open up enemies for backstabs when you get the chance but otherwise not as useful here as in Elden Ring. This game goes for a quality over quantity approach to weapons, so you won't be finding a whole lot of them. Granted most are two in one, but you could stick with the Saw Spear for the whole game and it can easily carry you through. --- I don't kill... but I don't lose either. |
| Topic | Why does Bloodborne run so bad on PS5 wow |
| CassandraCain 05/12/25 12:43:31 PM #26 | Something to note is the Arcane scaling on any weapon will not increase physical damage at all. So in the case of the Saw Spear, yes it does have a D in Arcane scaling, but it will gain nothing from that unless you slot in a Fire/Bolt/Arcane gem to the weapon. Which you have no access to until you beat a certain boss a little ways in. So basically your Arcane stat is almost entirely useless right now, sorry... I suggest focusing on health and skill from now on. That 20 Arcane will still help later on in the game at least. --- I don't kill... but I don't lose either. |

| CassandraCain 05/12/25 10:43:20 AM #14 | _stingers_ posted... I think I'm gimping myself because I wanted to do an arcane build (since I never did one in elden ring I which is my only other souls game) but I still don't have any arcane weapons. Hopefully I find one soon Yeahhh that might not be the best choice for a first playthrough, Arcane isn't the same in Bloodborne. It's essentially a magic stat, and there's only about two weapons that naturally benefit from it. Although it will make hunter tools effective if those appeal to you. Otherwise I would recommend going more with Skill. Fast weapons are helpful for the hectic combat, plus it increases the damage of your viscerals. --- I don't kill... but I don't lose either. |

| CassandraCain 05/08/25 4:19:42 PM #5 | I don't know if binging season 4 helped or not, the time skip was still jarring. And a couple scenes were confusing at first, but I guess they were hallucinations. The second half of the season got a little uncomfortable to watch at times, I felt so bad for Sally. --- I don't kill... but I don't lose either. |

| CassandraCain 05/08/25 6:35:58 AM #1 | I have never felt so emotionally and mentally drained after finishing a piece of media before. Couldn't bring myself to watch anything else afterward, so I went to bed and stared at the ceiling for an hour trying to unpack how I felt. Still trying to figure it out. Great show though. I'll enjoy rewatching it at a later time, long after my mind recovers. --- I don't kill... but I don't lose either. |

| Topic | What were the best April Fools' jokes ever? |
| CassandraCain 04/01/25 9:15:51 AM #9 | I think my favorites over the years are what I would like to call anti-April Fools. Where a legit product or piece of entertainment is released and the "joke" is that it's actually real. Maybe that defeats the purpose, I kinda just hate stupid pranks. Most people aren't going to believe anything they see or hear on April Fools day anyway, so it's funnier to me when the prank turns out to be true instead of a typical lie. --- I don't kill... but I don't lose either. |

| CassandraCain 03/16/25 3:39:53 PM #11 | Roger is the best, even in the newer seasons he continues to amuse me. All the characters in American Dad are good too though, which is not something I could ever say about Family Guy. American Dad actually has consistent writing. It's more of an animated sitcom just with more ridiculous (and sometimes highly creative) situations than a live action show. While Family Guy is a string of random --- I don't kill... but I don't lose either. |

Is that how personal Personas work? I was under the impression that they were solely dependant on the individual rather than collective conscious.

| Topic | Avatar: Seven Havens announced (new animated series) |
| CassandraCain 02/20/25 12:36:43 PM #8 | I still wish they would do a prequel anthology series, spend an episode or two on various Avatars from before Aang's time. Three episodes for Kyoshi since she apparently lived for 200 years. Actually a whole season of Kyoshi would be good enough for me. Regardless I'm excited for this new post-apocalyptic setting as well. Ultimately I just want more from the Avatar world and this seems like a creative way to continue the story following Korra. --- I don't kill... but I don't lose either. |

| Topic | Hollow Knight would be perfect if the save points made any sense. |
| CassandraCain 02/13/25 10:58:21 AM #5 | Personally I preferred the shortcut approach of DS1 over the direct access of Elden Ring. It's incredibly disappointing when I kick a ladder down for easier access to a prior bonfire when a few steps later there's another checkpoint right in front of the boss room. The shortcuts were made almost completely obsolete. Not to say I enjoyed every runback, some were definitely more annoying than they needed to be. Especially in Demon's Souls, my problem is they could have refined the shortcut method instead of basically scrapping it. --- I don't kill... but I don't lose either. |
| Topic | "You can now play the card game Queen's Blood" |
| CassandraCain 02/13/25 10:24:42 AM #65 | I also never really enjoyed using Aerith since I prefer more melee focused combat. Cloud and Yuffie are my favorites to use, Cait Sith also surprised me with how fun his kit is. Barret is the most boring to me though. Aerith is in fact the most powerful character on the team, I've seen plenty of videos where people decimate enemies with her alone. And she's also integral if you want to break the game and cheese everything. But of course that severely limits the fun factor, and I also don't enjoy the setup requirements I just wanna bash things with a big sword. --- I don't kill... but I don't lose either. |

The writing and atmosphere alone are top notch, then on top of that there are clever twists and all of the characters are actually interesting. I especially gained a new layer of love for Kathryn Hahn. And already had max love for Aubrey Plaza yet she still stole the show. --- I don't kill... but I don't lose either. |

| CassandraCain 01/19/25 3:26:48 PM #64 | I have quite a few, where to start... How about Brooklyn 99. Spoilers btw Great show, but some of the writing bugs me. The most egregious is the character of Jimmy Figus, the mob boss that was apparently so scary that two main characters had to hide from him for 6 months. Until they lured him out by using themselves as bait... And he turns out to be a scrawny old dude with a gun. He casually strolls out in the open all alone, essentially shining a spotlight on himself allowing Jake to get the drop on him. I could take out this so called mob boss myself. At least bring a sniper or something fuck's sake. The show also plays the reverse card too often. A guest character shows up and is presented as an upstanding person, turns out they're the bad guy! Then you got Adrian Pimento (best character) who they think is up to no good but of course it's all a big misunderstanding.
