Elden Ring Tarot Cards
  • Possibly because I know nothing about tarot, some of these connections seem odd to me (Zorayas as the sun? Fia as judgement? Blaidd as the chariot??) That said, the artwork is beautiful. Nephali as Temperance is probably my favorite. Great work!

  • Could anyone explain to me this whole "rule" thing?
  • Near as I can tell, there are certain communities that have a "rule" that every time you browse that community, you must post something before you leave. This leads to a lot of low effort shitposting that I guess some people find fun but I just blocked those communities so my /All feed wasn't cluttered.

  • Everything Must Be Paid for Twice
  • I don't love this example because enjoyment of the object isn't really a cost. If I buy a book or a videogame or a movie, the time it takes to enjoy the media is the value, not the cost.

    If you're talking about maintenance and upkeep on your car, that is a different type of cost that has to be weighed against the cost and time expenditure of a bus pass or whatever your alternative was.

    In other words I feel like this is a catchy phrase that kind of falls apart once you start to dig at it.

  • Everything Must Be Paid for Twice
  • I feel like there's a lot more to this than "pay it twice". If you're talking purely in dollars, then you'll want to consider maintenance and upkeep over the expected lifetime of the object and compare that to alternatives. Additionally, everything has an opportunity cost because no resource is limitless and you could have allocated it elsewhere. Finally, emotional and other intangible benefits are something that most people have a very difficult time quantifying.

    If you want to say "consider more than just the purchase price" then I'm with you.

  • [Review] Compass Box Canvas

    cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/467414

    > Distillery: Compass Box > > Product Line: - > > Product: Canvas > > Aged: Vino naranja and American oak > > Category: Blended > > Nose: Delicate custards and marmalade. A citrus of bitter sort, with under-ripe figs. > > Body: Rich honey over apricots and oranges. A light, English muffin sort of biscuit. As it goes on, a rich dark chocolate encroaches. > > Finish: A bold, malty surprise. Loses nearly all the delicate fruit notes in favor of wheats and grains and fresh baked bread. > > Activation: Really opens up some of the rich juicy fruits. Oranges, grapes, pears. Recommended. > > Notes: I've always been fond of Compass Box, but they went through a phase for a while where seemingly every new limited release was (over) aged in a sherry cask. I'm glad to announce that Canvas breaks this pattern- in fact, there’s no sherry here at all! Just some Spanish orange wine, a beverage I didn’t even know existed until I picked up this bottle. It’s sweet and rich and creamy and endlessly drinkable, without that bitter or medicinal quality that can frequently come through with sherried casks. After such a fruit forward body, the malted finish is a welcome surprise as well. One of the best blended malts I’ve had in a while, though it is on the pricier side at ~$135.

    Weapons for Arcane Builds?
  • I've tried a number of different weapons for my (un-optimized, PVE only) arcane build but I keep coming back to Elonara's poleblade as the most fun. The double-handed move set feels fantastic, it applies bleed well, the Ash of War can initiate and then make space by retriggering. And the charged R2 is so damn satisfying. Throw in Flame Grant Me Strength and maybe a dragon incantation or two and it's a very versatile setup- at least for PVE.

  • What are y'all's favorite communities from this or another Lemmy instance?
  • This is hugely personal to your own interests. Personally I am subscribed to communities around news, science, gaming, whiskey, and my favorite sports team. You can always use the community browser to look for something specific or just keep an eye on the "all" listing to see if something catches your eye.

    The Color theory of Elden Ring
  • Some of this feels like a bit of a reach to me. Color is very important from a game design perspective in order to help players intuit mechanics - health potions being red, for instance. It's helpful that gravity magics are all colored purple, which is a hint that they are doing physical damage to magic-resistant enemies such as Rennala. But I don't think that this means that gravity magic is inherently related to sleep magic as this video claims.

    In this mock, Fields is QB2 (as he always should have been) to San Francisco after the Jets take Micah Parsons @2. I'll never understand how Zach Wilson and Trey Lance were taken over Fields, but I'm glad they were!

    I also recommend reading Fishbain's OTA updates on the Athletic. It isn't free, but the Athletic is well worth the subscription costs.

    Elden Ring Soft Cap Cheat Sheet

    I am coming from Reddit and while currently dead, this seemed to be the largest Elden Ring community. So to kick-start the resurrection, here's what even Reddit called my most-returned-to-post. This thing has been open as a tab in my browser for a year now.
