Theory mastery and live performance are two sides...of completely different coins...

She's a magic nerd, not a attack pattern nerd.

I'm both of these characters, sharing one single body.

You need to step it up so you can take over the lands between.

I'm not sure what that means, but it sounds like a plan!

It's a reference to a videogame (Elden Ring ) :P Mega spoilers if you care about that.

Tap for spoilerIn short the lands between are ruled by a deity with a female aspect and male aspect that secretly share the same body (and are married to one another).It's... A bit more complex than ,that but you get the idea.

Honestly congrats. I haven't seen a single one of these that were funny and this one is.

I have been indifferent, but am now in the mildly amused phase. I usually enjoy the artwork even if I don’t see the humor.

Can you explain it to me please? So far the only one that got me to chuckle was the athlete greyhound one.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

The whole joke is she instantly forgot the details of what he said. I found it funny because I do that frequently.

Making me think of the souls like bosses that have variable timings/patterns. Like Margit has a move where he can just keep his arm cocked ready to deliver a blow forever, and some other bosses through the whole slew of FromSoft titles have combos that can be 3 or 4 attacks and you won't know it's doing a 3 or 4 hit combo until it does or doesn't throw the 4th attack. 😬

I've always hated games with boss fights where you can only actually defeat the boss in the specific fighting pattern that the devs made. A slight 3/4 combo variation doesn't break that annoying design method.

I saved these 10 tactical handheld nukes for a fucking reason, now stop forcing how I want to play your stupid game!

[–] Blujayooo@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

At that point, the fight just becomes a series of calculated risks lol
