Me and CoffeeMinion are at BronyCon!
He was able to get some books at the book store, but alas, we were too late to pick up some favorites that I wanted.
But we will not despair!
There will be books to be had!
Or something!
SOMETHING!
SOMETHING!!!!
And then something happened.

Me and CoffeeMinion mugged you for your sweet, sweet horsewords.
hope you're having a blast
5098384
We are, it’s exhausting though.
5098535
getting good sleep?

Today? I’m playing Darkest dungeon and getting story inspiration.
5100258
Ah cool. How did that go?
5101476
Certain classes do not play how I expected. There were many deaths.
5101624
How bad were the deaths? Like normal bad or Dark Souls bad?
5102538
One party wipe with a few characters whose main mechanic is shifting positions, but they all contradicted each other.
The other was me losing Solaire of Astora to the hag pot when it dumped him out and then she immediately meat tenderized the party and gakked him.
5102540
Oh I see. Sounds bad
5102572
Naw, it’s standard Darkest Dungeon. If you don’t suffer occasional total party wipes due to incorrect party compositions, then you’re probably playing on radiant.
And Solaire was one of my primary damage dealers, so him in the pot was no good.

Sounds like a pretty challenging game

More like grueling. The game is all about risk management and planned sacrifices. You will lose characters, despite your best efforts. So you try to mitigate and go “ok, healing the guy I like, hopefully this other guy survives the death’s door strikes.”
5102974
Oh my. It's going to punish you one way or another.
5102986
One of the bosses forces you to kill your own characters as you defeat it.
5102994
Is it hard? To have to kill one of them? Do you bond with them?
5103979
Sort of on the bonding. You wind up with favorites. The characters all gain quirks and things that you grow attached to. Typically you go into the fight knowing that you will have to kill some of your guys.
5104190
Sounds like a bit of a real experience if a big quest like this was real
5104516
It’s definitely a Lovecraftian type of thing to do. I’m actually kind of surprised they don’t have more bosses like that, with guaranteed deaths in the party. It would drive home that you are essentially throwing these people into a meat grinder.
5104527
Victory cannot be achieved without sacrifices
5104748
True, and that means the only recourse is revenge.
And revenge is a dish that is best served with cake left out in the rain.
5104771
Well at least the cake is moist :3
5104813
And delicious.
