Witch of Light

(Like 5+ years ago) a big thing I enjoyed during my internship was the conversations at lunch, I learned a lot and was very entertained by all that. But then, Covid came before I actually started work, and it disrupted that group and culture during a year of wfh, and even as that recovered I’m eating outside and very few other people are. I really miss that. I’m happy that I’ve gotten a few more people to eat outside with me, but I’m still missing out on that big group. One of those things I valued was just lost.

When I played Dark Souls, I got a claymore pretty early and used it for the rest of the game. When I played Dark Souls 2, I got a rapier pretty early, and used it for the rest of the game. But watching ChaseTheBro play his “level through PvP” series (and its sequel) completely changed my playstyle.

Hardswapping and organizing your inventory takes a bit of learning, but having a variety of weapons that you use in different situations gives a lot more fun and depth. I still have preferred options that I use a lot, but I have 30+ weapons at level 24 and I use a lot of different builds. I don’t do much PvP besides dueling my friends, but watching PvPers made my PvE more engaging.

I enjoy doing this goofy thing where I will watch Souls videos while I am still playing the game–but I will pause as soon as I get to where I am. Sometimes this means I will watch 5 minutes of a 30 minute ymfah video, and then come back to it a month later when I’ve finished a bunch more areas and watch another 10 minutes. I have like 30 videos in progress like this because I haven’t finished the DS2 DLC yet, and haven’t gotten to the Elden Ring final boss run.

I think this is very cool and fun of me! :)

This is slightly less goofy to do for series where I’m just watching the episodes for areas I have already done.
