My first job 20 years ago I had to buy a chain link replacement because someone drove through the chain we had blocking the entrance to the parking lot. It came in a two pack and I have used the spare on my keychain since then.

Yeah, it was Mad Tongue I believe. I got the notification and was exploring the hold and got deleted. Good shout though on the Roundtable Icon. I for sure did not pick up on the distinction.

It’s very pretty! Part of the reason why I stuck with it. The bosses are cool too and inventive but then they do repeat a lot outside the story bosses.

It’s very pretty and evocative. That’s what kept me playing it. I even watched a two hour lore dump but I think I understand less now.

No, not those. I actually really liked those. One of the reasons I completed the game is I had 4-5 notes with 999+ reactions and was getting healed a lot from it. I was talking about the tutorial notice about being safe in roundtable hold and then I got invaded by the story NPC.

Elden Ring - Beautiful game, but without the context of other FromSoft Titles, I’m not sure how you are supposed to enjoy it. Most people would say “well you’re not supposed to enjoy it!” but it feels a bit like one of those restaurants where the gimmick is they are rude to you. The story is impenetrable, the “tutorial” pop ups lie, and quests are hidden behind specific actions that 90% of players would not organically try. That said, I completed it.
