I'm glad to hear you loved the finale tho   

Shouldn't have doubted Vince and company

i have watched the BCS finale 5 times now lol. It truly is masterful and it has helped me overlook the (what i personally considered) rocky road to get to its conclusion. i've had a lot of fun conversations about it with co-workers and fellow tv aficionados.

5 times already?   I haven't even gotten to my first rewatch, cooking dinner and then gonna rewatch it

But yeah, they absolutely nailed the finale, it hits all the right notes. I think as fans we all envisioned our own ending and what we hoped for, and while its not the ending many wanted, it's an ending that was done masterfully and suits the series well.

Haven't watched the finale yet, but I honestly have loved these last several episodes of BCS. They found a way to keep the BCS formula and still have fun episodes setting up heists while also still having episodes that are as epic as ones in BB.

Last week's Waterworks was amazing though, very much looking forward to seeing how it all concludes tonight. I'll miss both Kim and Saul though, end of an era

Rooting for 3 teams this year, well, 2 teams, Falcons and Colts, third is more an individual than anything..just hope Julio can have at least one more year of healthy play and goes off like he did during his prime. Hoping Colts win the SB for Ryan's sake, he deserves it, as for Falcons, whatever they do will be okay, I don't expect anything from them for years lol

I'm starting to come around on the horse combat while using a halberd.

Yeah, with certain weapons it's unbearable, but with a better weapon it's not that bad at all, especially when I found out you can press L1 and your character will hit on that side.

My weapon early on was the TwinBlade and I hated using it on the horse, I eventually stopped even trying to fight with it while riding

So, if I beat elden beast w/ranni’s quest (found out I had missed one step 🤦‍♂️), I just manually quit the game? 

Pretty sure Ranni's quest is one of the few that can be completed even at the end. So as long as you don't chose an ending or start NG+, you should be able to go back and finish it up, then by the grace  and in-between the statue, there should be a blue summon sign and as soon as you summon her, it starts her ending cutscene.

So, I’m going to start a new game + @Snowman. How does the manual save work? I was always thought it saved at last grace point or defeated enemy? 

Thats pretty much how I believe it works as well, but even without them, if you go to the Main and Quit it manually saves you right where you are

But you also get weapon dupes from NG+, and since I'm at NG+3 or 4, I have dupes to spare anyone that needs something!

Noted homie! Can you duplicate weapons? I’d be down to hook up TB or Jon some OP stuff

Yeah you can you dupe weapons as well as Runes. A Lord's Rune gives 50k Runes, you hold 600 of them. Saw my friend dupe so I know the general gist and it has to do with PS+ Cloud save, but I'd have to watch a video on it. But basically I'd summon you to my world, drop you whatever, you pick it up and then I would Quit Game, then redownload the save file that's from my PS Cloud.

lmao what the fuck. I thought Limgrave was big but I just picked up the map for Liurnia east and holy shit this game.

Yeah, it's a fucking massive game. My first playthrough was a slow burn and mostly blind exploration where every couple days I would revisit a place on my map I hadn't been at in while.

After I beat the last boss and before I started NG+ I roamed the newer areas once over and then looked up the interactive map. Excluding co-op and PvP, I probably had 150 hours first go round and my map had to be  ~95% complete. 

I'm on NG+3 or 4, but I recently found a cave I had never been to.

Haha i actually had it. Nah, the multiple endings. All I have left to collect are the legendary spells and sorceries, which I probably have most of.

Ahhh word. I was going say we can drop Talisman and Weapons, so if you had needed I could've given ya whichever ones you had missed. But spells, Ashes, ashes if war, and stones can't be traded

Didn't really play the last week and a half, took a lil breather and caught up with TV/movies, but hopped back on last night and had a fun sesh. Helped my homie with Castle Sol, Malenia, and Dragonlord Phalanx. I was pretty rusty at times lol.

I also had to use an old save cuz in my current playthrough I didn't have the areas unlocked for co-op. On my PS+ Cloud is my first playthrough (lvl 150 mage), backed it up for the endings, so I put my current file on a USB and then used the Cloud file.

I actually had to do the same thing when GD and I try to co-op Elden Beast last weekend. We only tried 3-4 times cuz of the time, but lmao I was getting clapped up. I was sloppy and pressing the wrong buttons, and because of the boss HP co-op boost, several of the spells I had brought were doing pea dmg.

I also thought it'd be a great idea to add and use a seal with 2 incantations along with my Moonviel, Wing of Astel, and my staff and spells..it didn't go well at all lol. I was a sloppy mess. But iirc our last run got Elden Beast almost to 50% and had we had more time we would've gotten him.

But turns out GD didn't need my help anyway, he Pro'd it up his damn self and then easily beat Malenia

Oh you probably missed the weapon  Bolt of Granthax or whatever it's called before the

Ok, 38/42 trophies completed. I’m getting close to the plat. The last 3 will require a new game +, but that’s all good. At least I won’t lose my stats and stuff (except quest-related things). 

Hell yeah! Besides the 2 endings, which other 2 trophies you missing?

Comet azure takes all 3 slots too, which sucks. I think I’ll continue rocking the sling, rotten breath and mimic.

Comet Azur, Meteorite, and Meteorite of Astel aren't all that good unless you have Cerulean Hidden Tear (eliminates all FP usage for a small amount of time), allows you to continue charging the spells up for quite some time. 

You either need that Tear or your FP to be pretty high for those 3 spells to be really worth using.

Actually made some decent progress today. Killed the commander in Caelid's swamp, then went up to the minor erdtree and killed its guardian. He was actually way more of a pushover than I expected, he had a lot more health than the previous guardians and my magic was barely putting a dent in him. I had to pick away at him with melee but eventually I was able to take him out and got 91K runes, which is the most i've gotten from any boss/mini boss. Was able to level up 4 times in a row just from that fight.

Yeah, that Erdtree was a beast compared to all the others in the surrounding areas. I had to chip away at his health when I faced him too, but one slip up on my part and he'd one shot me. I was probably in the low 40s when I beat him, but he took me many many tries just cuz it was one shot.

Congrats though!! Next you should try that Gargoyle in Caelid or start doing the dragons

Will work on some of the remaining questlines I have later today, then I'll go ahead and finish up my first playthrough

Made hella good progress tonight. Beat 4 bosses, 

judging by trophies, besides the 3 endings, it's just 2 main bosses left

100 hours clocked in wtf

Welcome to the club

I have 158 hours 

One more month until the GOAT of current television returns though, Better Call Saul

Sad it's the final season though 

Also, damn, I need to catch up on my TV shows. Been slacking hard these past 4-5 weeks. Haven't watched the last episode of Peacemaker yet, the last 2 episodes of Boba Feet, haven't seen the last 4, soon to be 5 episodes of Snowpiercer, and still need to watch S2 of Euphoria lmao

Watched The Gentlemen this past weekend, it's Guy Richie's newish film, came out right before Covid hit the US in 2020, but I forgot all about it until the other day..

It was a return of old Guy Richie and it was very solid all around. It ain't Snatch level, and probably isn't better than Lock, Stock, & 2 Smoking Barrels, but it's kinda up there. 

Acting was great all around, even by the side characters, took me a 2nd watch to get some of the humor and while it's not Snatch level humor, I had some good laughs.

What's not to love about a good Gangsta film!

Watched Doctor Sleep again with my gf who hadn’t watched it. Man, what a great film and one of finest horror sequels ever. I had only watched it once but rewatching it is almost better than first. 

Rose, The Hat is  

But yeah, I was absolutely surprised by Doctor Sleep, such a good sleeper hit. I know a few that refuse to watch it cuz they think it might ruin The Shining or just be ass compared to it, but it does it's own thing without needing the help from The Shining to make it great. 

Yeah, you can level up hella easily just beating bosses, whether it's open world or main ones, there's been 3-5 dragons that have given me 100k+ each. A few Erdtrees were close to 100k, think they were 80-90k.

There was an Underground boss that gave me 500k, Malenia also gave me 480k. 

They seem to give Runes away like crazy. I got to 150 with doing Rune runs. I'll be using the Runes I get now on Stones and weapons

Nah I didn't bother today. I just focused on exploring more of the Caelid area.

If you need any help with him lemme know!

And Caelid has a lot to explore, yesterday I found 2 new caves and today I found a small castle I had never been in and another cave. I thought I had basically been to everything in this area and beat it all, but I guess not lmao
