  • I consider myself a reasonably tech literate user and tried to set up dual boot on my pc using a whole separate ssd just for Linux to be safe. Installing it went fine but GRUB wouldn’t let me boot into windows, somehow the instalation nuked my windows boot partition and no amount of repairing would work, I had to completely reinstall Windows and now I’m seriously worried of trying Linux again.

    I believe most full plate armor was hardly practical either, some being so heavy that basically required the wearer to be mounted. Most foot soldiers would wear chain armor with pieces of plate here and there, and thats only the extremely rich who could afford things like that. Full plate also heavily limited your movement, many battles by extremely well geared soldiers were lost because they couldnt out maneuver barely armored militia, or even just rain. Knights wearing full plate needed help to stand if they were toppled! Its funny when people talk about full plate being ‘practical’ and ‘realistic’ when it was mostly a sign of status, ornamental and incredibly impractical.







  • Fr fr. I will nvr understand how people will tell you how you can’t use whole systems in a soulslike because that is ‘cheating’. “but I beat X boss without Y so I’m better than you!” and I fucking have a defect on my left thumb that makes it harder to use the left analog thumbstick, am I better than you in every game I’ve ever played?

    Like people saying using bleed on elden ring makes it too easy. I’m doing a new playthrough with str/faith and let me tell you, I don’t even need to use any incantation cause 2handers do insane dmg and every 5 attacks the boss drops to his knees and I get a free 1/5 of his heath with the crit, exactly how bleed does except most bleed weapons don’t do insane dmg with their normal attacks and no boss is immune to getting knocked down (tho some are immune to crit attacks).
