8. Do you have any fond coop memories? Does a specific moment stand out to you?

I rarely do coop, cause a) I suck and b) I used to get anxious. But! Recently I needed help with Commander Niall so I summoned a dude that looked really edgy. Dual katanas, not wearing chest armor, using Chaos spells... That type. He seemed like he could pack a punch and honestly that's all I needed. Anyway, as we've established, I suck, which means I never dealt with the weird Lion Guardians. So I run past them towards the elevator. My guy tries to be nice or something and tries to fight the first one. I hear Chaos spells and then the guy's health bar drops like a 1/3. I turn around to help. He decides to leave. We pass each other at the stakes and I start throwing boulders at the lion cause it's already hurt a bit, might as well kill it. So he sees me and comes back again. Que him getting agro and then managing to get hit by every. single. attack. He falls down, gets up, heals, get hit immediately and do that three times over. At that point the second lion has engaged my ass and now we're both fighting for our lives. Not long after, he dies and I run to the bonfire to reset the lions, at which point I discover I can cheese them at the gate. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyway, I just found it funny that a dude confident enough to not use shields or chest armor was getting his ass kicked even harder than me while he was supposed to be helping me.

15. Do you have any unpopular opinions about any of the games?

Dark Souls II was the best in the trilogy. :P

But to say something I can actually back up, I know this isn't unpopular on the tumblr side of the fandom, but the Souls games are about hope and perseverance and are so much more than just "hard" games. Especially Elden Ring, with the Ranni ending pushing free will, Finley loving Malenia despite her curse, Ranni and Rykard keeping an eye to their maddened mother, Radahn adoring his horse, Rya having loving adoptive parents, MELINA, Marika tearing down everything she build due to loosing her child, etc... Just. So much of the story is about love. Platonic, romantic, parental, whatever. The Souls games are about hope and love existing and persevering in the face of decay and horror and I think that's really neat.

19. Do you play PvP?

I used to duel a lot in DSII and DSIII but I stopped cause it felt way too tryhard and just... DSIII duels were really unfun. And I also got really tired of the meme culture the series had at the time so I left.

I recently got interested again, purely from seeing your posts and you having so much fun as an invader. So I got an actual legal copy of the game and last weekend I almost finished setting up a RL90, beast incantations based build, wielding the Cinquedea. Just need to get one more Deathroot for Gurranq's Beast Claw and then I'm invading left and right. :D (never touching duels again though, fuck that noise)

Thank you! <3
