Seeing as you are quite fond of BloodBorne and the various eyes it tends to layer on peoples brains, what are your thoughts on Elden Ring? (Apologies if this has been asked already)

Also considering FromSoft is putting out Armored Core 6 would you be interested in playing that as well?

(this is a poor attempt to distract you from the horrible dumb shit that Anon sent you, so i send you hugs and questions to help)

DUDE I FUCKING LOVE ELDEN RING, it's my favorite Fromsoft game behind Bloodborne, so much so that I have a canon url blog for it at @lichdragon-fortissax (though I admittedly haven't been posting as much there bc I've been in my Destiny 2 hyperfixation as of late). I adore the story, the characters, the art and the gameplay, and it's where I ended up accidentally making a couple of ocs I'm actually really fond of, which is rare bc I tend to be extremely nitpicky about my own personal content. Bloodborne is a favorite in a sort of spiritual/thematic way but Elden Ring is a fav for it's storytelling, with Ds1 right behind it. I've got so many hours in there and tbh once I'm finished griding out the rest of Season of the Deep I'm considering redownloading it to give my strength and int builds another shot (though I'll probs just co-op Malenia on Fenrix more bc I adore that fight). It's a fucking masterpiece

As for Armoured Core, I just finished watching Vaati and Ironpineapple's videos on it and I'm super stoked to see it in full, though I'm kind of on the fence if I want to get it at full launch or wait to watch a playthrough first, which I did with every game but Elden Ring bc I knew I'd click with it right away (full launch is 5 days before my birthday, so that would be a great present, but still...I'm stingy with money and when to spend it shchfje). I'm not much of a mech guy typically, but I love the bleak nature of the Armoured Core series with their poignant criticism of capitalist corperate systems, and the super-customization aspect of it makes my little strategy-loving brain giddy. I get the feeling that if I do end up playing it I'll just end up tinkering with my build and replaying missions over and over again for the sole purpose of maximizing efficiency for each encounter, bc if there's one thing I love to do, it's find a way to absolutely bulldoze bossfights. It looks sick as hell and I absolutely cannot wait for someone to find the world's most broken build day 1 of the community that comes to dominate the meta before it gets nerfed to hell and back (though tbh I'd be just as delighted if that was a fruitless effort simply because of certain strategies needing certain parts and tactics, as seems to be the idea for the gameplay)
