       I don’t really want to play any games right now. I want to want to play Armored Core 6 though. It seems like it would be a lot of fun.

       @DEERBLOOD I need to play Sekiro too. I’ve watched like 100 speed runs of it. SS Isshin scares the crap out of me tbh.

       @DEERBLOOD He scares me more than Malenia. Sekiro is really adamant about you actually mastering its mechanics to get better. You can’t just “get by” like you can in the souls games. I think it’s their hardest title.

       @DEERBLOOD DLC has a lot of good equipment. The Euporia would be great for your playthrough too. It’s a shame it’s right before Radahn.

       @DEERBLOOD Also Malenia is pretty weak to fire. Even more so if you pull her out of the water before hitting her.

       @john_darksoul I knew fire was her elemental weakness, I never realized that about the water in the arena though

       @DEERBLOOD She is. It’s been pretty much confirmed. She was may even be Messmer’s twin with their eyes being the thing that was wrong with them (hinting towards Radagon being the father before he got his red hair).

       @john_darksoul Yeah. All signs point towards this being the case. But when I ask her I just get a coy smile (aka it hasn't been explicitly confirmed)

       @john_darksoul The only thing that makes me think it may NOT be the case is that I would think if it were we would learn something more of her motives, like, she led the apostasy because Mezmir was sealed in the land of shadow but we dont hear anything about them having any sort of relationship or acknowledgement of each other (as far as I know)

       @DEERBLOOD My recommendation for this build is to definitely grab the golden vow spell (not the weapon art) and flame grant me strength (this buffs both physical and fire damage so it’s very good for GSG), shard of Alexander, fire scorpion charm, and probably the lord’s talisman to increase your buff uptime. Make sure to have the fire buff tear in your flask too.

       @DEERBLOOD Both of them aren’t acknowledged in the main game at all really. But Melina’s relationship with Ranni makes more sense when you realize she was likely the one who told Ranni about the nature of the rune of death (how did Ranni even know her plan would work?) and also why she was entrusted to lead the tarnished to burn the Erdtree (she was likely the one who burnt it the first time with the blackflame). Not to mention the actual gloam eye she reveals in the madness ending lol. She just slots in to the role so well.

       @john_darksoul i like AC6 but its way different from the older onesthey promised more AC content based on 6's sales ages ago but nothing has come forth so i'm assuming they're doing AC6: name rather than DLC

       @DEERBLOOD Yea I guess even a secret item talking about would be better. I kind of think of her as this game’s nameless king. Someone who is supposed to be forgotten about and stricken from history. They also leave things like this open ended sometimes.The Sacred Oath spell in DS1/3 talks about an oath between 3 people. The prevailing theory is that these 3 were the Nameless King, Ornstein, and Ricard (some theories swap out NK for Havel which has some merit but I’m a little suspect). In DS1 Ricard is in Sen’s Fortress and behind him is a chest with a divine blessing. In DS3 those summoner dudes can summon Ricard but he’s summoned with no clothes on, assumed to be in a form of mockery. The theory is essentially that Ricard betrayed the oath to gain favor with the Anor Londo and was given the blessing in return. Beyond these context clues there’s absolutely nothing pointing to this story at all. I know it’s a small subplot, but From does do stuff like that.

       @Paultron Yea I’ve heard it was different from the old ones when it released. I watched a bunch of playthroughs too and it just looks like it blends the awe inspiring cinematics with combat really well. It just looks like it’s cool to play.

       @john_darksoul it's fun but they got rid of some of the weapon and armor mechanics to appeal to the dark soul roll faggotry crowd
