I am a hobbyist artist, but I do like to do commissions when I can! I’ll probably mostly post my art on here, but I’ll probably end up engaging with a lot more.

Remember, if Valve actually lost this suit, which they almost certainly won’t, it won’t improve the videogame ecosystem. It will possibly make it worse.

I know of three instant game end dialogue options. One with Astarion, one with Volo, and one in the House of Hope. I think there might be a few more as well.

There’s also one with Mystra I think.

Can that one instakill you? I suppose I’ve not seen that one!

ArtZuron,
@ArtZuron@beehaw.org avatar

Oh yeah, I’ve heard of that one as well!

That makes sense. I guess I’ve just never failed that encounter

What I will always find funny is that pirated and cracked games run better than the actual ones with Denovo.

    I remember seeing an article somewhere about this. Effectively, there really bad diminishing returns with these game graphics. You could triple the detail, but there’s only so much that can fit on the screen, or in your eyes.

    And at the same time, they’re bloating many of these AAA games sizes with all manner of garbage too, while simultaneously cutting the corners of what is actually good about them.

    BG3 does have a few too many “the ceiling collapses and you all die” moments for my liking, but, for the most part, I do like it. It just came out, so it’s still going to probably get some balancing patches!

    There are many spells and items in the game that would be pretty good in a TT game IMO

    Elden Ring Tarot - XI - Justice (beehaw.org)

    Morgott was one of the Demigods born of Godfrey, First Elden Lord, and Queen Marika. However, he and his brother Mohg were both cursed as Omens and hidden deep beneath Leyndell in the Shunning Grounds. When the Shattering occurred, his Demigod kin scattered to the winds, absconding with the fragments of the Elden Ring. Only he...

    Most emotional moments in games? (SPOILERS)

    Just for the heads up, this thread will probably have a lot of spoilers. I’m gonna try to go vague on spoilers for anybody that hasn’t played Hotline Miami 2. If you’ve played the game, you’ll probably know what I mean, but I’m going to say some purposefully esoteric shit to keep it out of full spoiler territory....

    Not me, but my little sister was bawling at the end of Undertale.

    For me, it’s maybe beating Sword Saint Isshin. I think I almost cried in relief, since I’d been hitting my head against that wall for like a week.

    I also liked the Dragon Age Inquisition endings, the one DLC with the Qunari and the palace and going threw Elven ruins shattered through space. The song on the mountains when you find the new headquarters was cool too.

    Elden Ring Tarot - X - The Wheel of Fortune (beehaw.org)

    The nomadic merchants once roamed widely in the Lands Between as the “Great Caravan.” However, long ago, they were accused of Heresy. Their clan, far and wide, was rounded up and buried alive deep below the earth. In their terror and sorrow, they chanted a fateful curse of despair, one that conjured forth the Frenzied Flame....

    Wow! They banned 1% of them! That’s huge! /s

    Elden Ring Tarot - IX - The Hermit (beehaw.org)

    Miquella was cursed with eternal childhood. Perhaps immortality might be a boon for others, but it was a burden for the Empyrean. Perhaps thanks to his curse, however, Miquella learned well how to compel affection, and to lead others. His ambitions would lead him to look outside the Golden Order to cure his sister Malenia, and...

    On the topic of instakills, I always mod them out of Fallout 4 and Skyrim, because it’s annoying as hell that I can be instakilled from full HP, when it would otherwise take several hits to even endanger me.

    Elden Ring Tarot - VIII - Strength (beehaw.org)

    Malenia was born cursed as a vessel of the Scarlet Rot, a rotting plague that not even Golden Order Fundamentalism was unable to cure. Her brother, Miquella, sought a cure beyond the Order, while Malenia sought to serve her brother’s ambitions. She learned swordsmanship from a blue-robed master, likely the same figure who had...

    Yeah, no worries! It’s not like I’m trying to really make a proper tarot card deck after all, as I am no mystic! I used the symbolism of the characters own stories to determine which cards I wanted to use. Some of them were a bit of a challenge of course!

    Elden Ring Tarot - VI - The Chariot (beehaw.org)

    Blaidd is a half-wolf an an entity created by the Greater Will’s agents to attend to, serve, and to leash the Empyreans. Blaidd in particular was raised as a half brother to his charge, Lunar Princess Ranni. Half Wolves such as Blaidd or Maliketh were also meant to act as a last ditch effort to control or eliminate empyreans...

    Elden Ring Tarot - VI - The Lovers (beehaw.org)

    Renalla was one of the ancient Astrologers, and her prowess was so great that she founded a royal family, the Carians. She and the princesses of the Carians were famous for their sorcery, specifically cold and moon sorceries. With her Full Moon Sorcery, Renalla captivated the Raya Lucarian academy, and her and her family’s...

    @ArtZuron@beehaw.org avatar

    Nah, no chance of that!

    And thanks!

    The Hermit does feature Miquella though! There isn’t a Mohg card, but I considered him for the Devil! Also Shabriri!

    Elden Ring Tarot - V - The Hierophant (beehaw.org)

    Miriel is known as the Pastor of Vows and is a canine of great honor, wisdom, and renown. In his role as Pastor, he brought the union of the Carian royalty and the hero Radagon to fruition and brought peace, however temporarily, to the Lands Between. After all, heresy is not native to the world; it is but a contrivance. All...

    Elden Ring Tarot - IV - The Emperor (beehaw.org)

    Hoarah Loux was a warrior unmatched, and would take Serosh upon his shoulder, to tame his bloodlust and rage, to bring himself a noble presence and name, Godfrey. Godfrey was the first Elden Lord who, in his role as consort to Queen Marika, brought the Fire Giants and their flaming god to heel. However, when he had finally...

    Elden Ring Tarot - III - The Empress (beehaw.org)

    Marika sought freedom from the chains of godhood that the Greater Will had placed upon her. She sought to lead the Tarnished to a different fate than that which had been placed upon them. And so, she set them off into the world, to wage war, to live, and to die, and to one day return by the mercy of grace and claim the Elden...

    Elden Ring Tarot - II - The High Priestess (beehaw.org)

    Melina is associated as a so-called “Kindling Maiden,” fated to burn the Erdtree and themselves of the sake of a new age, some believe. Melina, disembodied and cast away from her place of birth, sought a Tarnished who would return her to the foot of the Erdtree, Leyndell. She was well-readied to sacrifice herself. Should she...

    Ubisoft Can Delete Inactive Accounts, Making Users Lose Access to Their Games (gamerant.com)

    In a response to a post from the AntiDRM Twitter account, Ubisoft Support has clarified that users who don’t sign in to their account can potentially lose access to Ubisoft games they’ve purchased. The initial post from AntiDRM featured a snippet of an e-mail sent to a user from Ubisoft notifying them that their account had...

    I wonder if this is an attempt at cutting down on bought or stolen accounts somehow. Buying or breaking into old accounts is a thing, so I wonder if this is their solution (a bad one I might add).

    ArtZuron,
    @ArtZuron@beehaw.org avatar

    That could be part of it as well. Such a move could serve several purposes after all.

    Elden Ring Tarot - I - The Magician (beehaw.org)

    Gideon Ofnir was a prideful man, believing himself worthy to be among the heights of the All-Knowing. To that end, he spread his eyes across the Lands Between, to watch the happenings, to locate the Demigods hidden away from plain sight. He had the makings of a lord, but he was just another of the myriad Tarnished, however...

    @ArtZuron@beehaw.org avatar

    I’ve certainly been considering it. If you are interested, feel free to DM me! There’s a few folks interested, so I am planning on doing it to order effectively!

    You could try going to my profile. There might be an option in there!

    ArtZuron,
    @ArtZuron@beehaw.org avatar

    Yeah, there’s a happy medium.

    For example, Elden Ring is a great game, except for the fact that it just drags on for SOOO long. I’m convinced that both Faram Azula and Mountaintops of the Giant were meant to be completely separate from the main sequence, much like Haligtree or Moghwyn Dynasty is. Then they just shoved them onto the end to pad time.

    ArtZuron,
    @ArtZuron@beehaw.org avatar

    It is a very good game for sure. That doesn’t mean I can’t criticize its flaws of course. The balance in latter sections was just not that good.

    ArtZuron,
    @ArtZuron@beehaw.org avatar

    Ain’t that a mood!

    ArtZuron,
    @ArtZuron@beehaw.org avatar

    It is fun! My personal favorite is getting a bunch of mantra cards to proc Divinity every turn or two and largely ignoring wrath by end game.
