!!!Spoilers for everything!!!

Specifically talking about shoehorning Radahn in-place of Godwyn, no mention of GEQ, and the removal of the Miquella cutscene we saw in the previews where he removes the curtains from the Scadutree.

Also no huge mention of Melina other than probably being Messmer’s younger sister.

I watched a loretuber get to Radahn and you can actually see the disappointment in their face when it’s revealed to be Radahn. And I LOVE Radahn. Guess I got my Day 0 pre-patch Radahn difficulty back tho.

The more the merrier. Been trying to go for 4 days but I either fall asleep (jet lag) or have things planned the next day. This is my last chance

Completely defeated. Like, I lost. I lost to capitalism. It won. I am in my mid-30s and have nothing to show for it.

I work 70+ hours/week and have no savings. I have no usable health insurance (global deductible is $8,000 -- for my non-US friends: this means that unless I spend $8,000 in a year I have to pay 100% of my healthcare out of pocket. 100%. Walk-ins? That's $300 in most cases.) Same for dental. My teeth are starting to rot. It's been over 10 years since my last dentist appt. I brush and floss but that's not enough for someone approaching middle age (let's be real tho... I AM middle-aged, at this rate).

I have 2 jobs. Both pay above minimum wage. I can barely afford a 1-bedroom a

When Ryan said the hard F-word during the Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet stream with Will Smith and Dave and Vinny (I think that was the cast?) he immediately made a thread, apologized fully, taking complete blame, condemning the language, and saying he respected anyone who wanted to leave the site over his behavior. They also edited the video archive to remove that part.

As a bonus, when a stupid commenter said something like “people are so PC nowadays” Jeff replied with “leave the site. If you think like this we don’t want you here.”

It’s that easy to make a real apology, and yet I don’t think I’ve ever seen a real one like that in all of the many cancelled people’s apologies since.

Everything is busted.

Sneak and Assassin are busted. With 90+ sneak I went into the ashlands and stole 15 AI cores (they can stack in Trader’s Backpacks). I knocked out and ripped the CPU out of every ancient empire robot still living. On my way back to Squin I knocked out Savant and flayed him to death in his own skinning machine.

Combat is busted. Made a pit stop to the southern hive and I’m now hauling a 5 ton ancient metal babysitter on my back like a giant floppy carnival prize stuffed animal after baiting out his attacks and plucking away at his stomach health. His aggro only activates if his buddies are around. Gonna make him my invincible guard dog.

Money is busted. Get some dedic

EDIT: SOLVED. It was indeed the key fob proximity-trigger thing not working. "Fob-to-Start button" manual start works just fine.

I dropped the fob later in the day, so I'm wondering if that's the issue. I'll be testing the manual "press fob to button"-start method in a few minutes. But, given the fact that I drop the fob all the damn time anyway and the other fob functions work, and that this happened so close to jumping it... seems it's battery related, no?

I had thought it died the other day because I left the lights on, but maybe the battery was just dying? Or is it more likely that I messed it up somehow when jumping it? If that's the case, I shouldn't have been able to drive it al

Upper right. Maybe it's just me, but I've seen the intro like 10 times and never noticed the Demi-Humans. Looks like they're burying him with his possessions, including his staff. (There are other cool details in these pics, too, like the Grace being visible in every Tarnished panel.)

Several “accepted” lore theories that seem to dominate the discussion are directly contradicted by what Melina says at some of these churches.

Saw a post where everyone was seemingly accepting of the “fact” that Radagan was always Marika. This is completely refuted by Marika herself, told through Melina at a church of Marika: “you are yet to become me. You are yet to become a god.”

Seems like some people have been mainlining item descriptions without thinking of some of the more Elden Ring-specific lore-delivery mechanisms.

Edit: can’t get Radahn off my mind. Meant Radagan***

What is the Fire Giant's plate thing, and why is he holding it? Is he fanning the flame to keep the embers hot? I can think of a few things slightly less heavy to do that with. He should probably get a little closer, too.

So, in my interpretation, Ranni has taken over Melina's corpse. I think this because Melina's shut eye and eye scar is gone, and in place is a blue eye. Her other eye is clouded over, as if it's the eye of a corpse, and her signature red/pink hair is now dark. Ranni would also be one of the only beings still alive that could resist the influence of madness.

Ranni is a puppetmaster literally and metaphorically, but here it's literal. She takes Torrent's ring into her flesh and is embarking on her own new journey to kill you.
