Zelenskyi’s wife has said few times already, that she does not want him to stay in power in a foreseeable future, and it’s the second time that someone spreads “rumours” about Zaluzhnyi being sacked from his position. And that’s like fifths or sixths article by Times, which is heavily biased against Ukraine. Most of them were refuted in few days later as being influenced by Russian propaganda. And the “rumors” starting to spread at the same time as the “rumours” of PoW’s on shot down plane smells a more like another Russian psyops, than not 🤷♂️ -
Thank you. In NG I was able to get him down easily with my damage output, and in NG+ I was already able to cut off his tail with melee as well. That part of tactics until you cut of his tail on the bridge still works, but then, it starts to behave differently and start to fly and spew fire a lot more than in PtD Edition of the game. I will try it out again after I get some more bosses down, but I would prefer classic fight with him. Cheese kill with arrows will be last resort 😂

Three more bosses down in DSR. Capra Demon, Gaping Dragon and Quelaag. I made some stupid mistakes again 😂 and lost another 100k souls 🙈 I tried few attempts against Bridge Dragon, but I got burned like a chips, because somehow the same tactics I did against it in PS3 version, does not work and I am getting big fire blast into my back, which burns all of my HPs in one shot, even if I have fire stoneplate ring and the fire resistance pyromancy buff. So I am for now clueless how to defeat it.

Started NG+ today in DS1R. Cleared first four bosses. Asylum Demon, Taurus Demon, Bell Gargoyles and Stray Demon. And got last miracle for Miracle Trophy. 82% of all trophies is done. I think, it will go little bit faster now, although I have done few stupid things already, and lost around 100k Souls 🙈

He has a lot of good arguments, how Putin might do it. The goal is not the all out war against NATO, but doing something, that would be very probable to make some big players to not respond to the invocation of Article 5, which if he could achieve, would make the NATO useless overnight.

Goal nr. 1/2024 has been achieved 😛 January 29, 23:00 – My first finished game of 2024 has become Dark Souls: Remastered on PS4. I have reached the Dark Lord ending after almost 80 hours and 292 deaths, which I have accumulated, while trying to get every item in game, and fulfill all prerequisites for Platinum Trophy. And due to the personal challenge, I have also cleared the all DLC areas and bosses, which are not needed for it. At the end I had to finish Gwyn, Lord of Cinder in 1 on 1 fight, as I have failed Solaire's quest due to visit of Lost Izalith sooner, than required. This is the first time, that I have finished Soulsborne game with melee character build. The side-effect was, that I have died much less to trash mobs, but most of the boss fights were much more challenging.

Oh yeah, I know that about the pendant, I just find rolling out of his dark magic a little bit more convenient. Unfortunately I was at point-blank range when he cast his version of Dark Beads. I just got like 90% of the beads right into my face with my reflexes failing to do anything in time. So I just looked at the screen with blank stare for a few seconds and let out a very deep sigh 🙈
And Manus is down! He gave me a lot of trouble, but much less than I’ve expected, and much than both Artorias and Kalameet. The fight is fun though, it either kicked my ass under 20 seconds, or I was able to get him down to 50-25% easily, and then I made a stupid decision. I got him once to 10% and forgot to defend and roll his Dark Beads spell 🙈 Then I got owned few more times, and I was finally able to defeat him with Dragonslayer Spear and 3 Chaos Fireballs 😃 So far, the hardest fights was Artorias and Sif (yes, I have completely ****ed up that one fight 🙈) All I need to do is some kind of clearing and item grinding, and then I can go against Lord Gwyn again. I already see him as a big pain in the ass, as I suck at parrying 🤦♂️
Black Dragon Kalameet has been defeated. And his tail cut as well 🙂 it took me definitely more than 20 tries combined. I had to relearn the fight as well, and due to big break from playing the game, I became less patient again, which caused more wipes, than I would have liked. It took me around 2 hours or so to find a way, how to defeat him with my playstyle 🙈
@xzar_monty circling back to fires in Russia, about which we talk some moths ago. I have seen week or two ago article, which said, that in 2023 the fires quadrupled compared to 2022, which had already much more fires than during the pre-war era. Unfortunately, I can’t find the article anymore IIRĆ the statistics were based on officialy published Russian data.
My argument was about game collectors, who buy games but don't play them. It's very unlikely, that they buy any game at full price, so the mentioned 20 cents from their Turkiye copy might be still better than nothing for a starting indie dev. It is definitely **** behaviour, to buy it through VPN and then spent 50 hours on it, there is no argument about that.
You have to think also in a way, that people who use VPN to get some game, are mostly getting it just to own it, which in other words means, that a lot of these sales would not happen at all, if it was not possible to circumvent the price tag with VPN. Is it moral? Not really, but it still generates some revenue for the dev. Contrary to the piracy, or buying cheap on G2A, which is currently mostly used for money laundering, which in the end could cost a lot of money to the dev... Even piracy is potentially more rewarding to some devs than their games sold on G2A and the likes...
@HoonDing I have found the DIY Critical Rebuild v1.23 (I have no clue, if that is the latest NWN2 build), but it only works if you have installed NWN2 with both of the expansions (which should be out of the box at v1.13). It does not work on any of the lower game versions.
After 18 attempts, if I counted correctly, I have defeated Artorias 💪. I had to relearn the fight from beginning, as It is one of two fight so far, which I was only nuking the boss from far away. Now I had to get much much closer 🙈 I had to stop after 10 unsuccessful attempts to get some farming, and upgrade my Advanced Pyromancy Flame up to +5 (not sure if it was really needed, but I did i just in case). The reason was, that I was struggling to break his poise with melee, when he was buffing himself, and soon after that, he finished me off. And as always, the game lags a little on PS4 in greater boss arenas. Which caused me being to slow as soon as I got him under 60%. After the upgrade and getting few more level ups into the Dex and Vit, I attuned Chaos Fireball and equiped Guardian Armour set, which I have found In Royal Woods, and went to fight him again. Chaos Fireball has only 4 casts, but two hits were powerful enough to break Artorias poise during buffing, which made the fight much easier. As soon, as I broke his poise, I got him down to 15% or so, but I have fumbled his second buff attempt, so he kicked my ass again. After few more tries, I have learned a little bit more how to correctly predict exact moment, when to start hurling the fireballs at him, to always break his poise. The first attempt, when I broke his poise twice, was also a final attempt. Now I own his soul 😄 After that, another small miracle happened, and I moved through Oolacil Township area pickup up all items and defeating all enemies, without a single wipe. Which was for me a world first 🙈 Now, Kalameet awaits me, and I am not really happy about that, as I want his tail, and I remember that, as the hardest thing to do, when I’ve played the game for the first time years ago, on PS3 🤷♂️
I might still have back-up of my own DIY “critical rebuild” patch, if I did not delete it by mistake. I can check my backups and upload it somewhere, if I really find it.
After some break from Dark Souls Remastered caused by Low Fuel Motorsport introducing custom Balance of Power to GT4 racing, I went back to optional Bosses, and defeated both Priscilla and Gwyndolin. They were not much trouble, although I have made a misstep at Gwyndolin, and had to repeat the fight. Then another break filled with GT4 racing and yesterday I had finally some mood to start the DLC. As expected, the first boss did not pose much trouble, although I had to repeat the fight, due to me wanting to have his Tail cut, but all went well, and IIRC, on third try, I had both his Tail Weapon and his Soul 😛 Then, of course the first area came to play... aaaand as always, I was not much impressed. The Stone Guardians just kicked my ass repeatedly, and it took me another hour and half to pick up all the items and unlock the shortcut to Artorias Arena. I hope that I will be able to fight and defeat him today. It will definitely be test of my will as I have never fought DLC bosses with melee weapons only, and I know how big PitA can Artorias be, even for easy mode casters. Wish me luck 😛
