No soulslikes for me this weekend (probably, maybe, I'll have to see what my schedule allows), but I've gotten back into Slay the Spire 2 and Warframe with my fiancée. It's been quite hard to get back into the latter, but it's been fun. STS is obviously still a banger.

Not strictly a soulslike, but I like the White Palace as well as the City of Tears in Hollow Knight. Stellar atmosphere, awesome design and aesthetic, the music is superb. The Hunter's Dream from Bloodborne is like a second home for me even though it really isn't in terms of lore.

What are yours?

Majula of course. It's a little scuffed like the whole game, but the vibes are perfect.

Honorary mention to the funky underground areas from Elden Ring. From the glowy mushroom star ceiling to the stag bros and the boss, the ambient is great. Very otherworldly feel, creeping a little towards cosmic horror, but so pretty at the same time. I would like to see a game where this kind of atmosphere and travelling between strange worlds is the main focus. Bloodborne had some of it, but missing the beautiful side of it from what I can remember.

I don't think I have any soulslikes on the deck this weekend. I have Silksong to finish, but I think I'll just save that for Xmas holidays, so I can focus on it. This weekend will probably be Valheim (stuck in mistlands looking for the boss) and probably a little Warframe as well

    Dude, I gotta vent a little. How come a solid like 60% of Warframr missions are utter dog shit? We just tried to capture some courier using our space wingsuits, and it's so difficult to make out what they even want from us. The individual steps sound easy but then get so weirdly "complicated". We tried that mission thrice and couldn't do it. Read up online that apparently the things you're supposed to be shooting have a tiny hitbox, so you're better off using AoE attacks for those. But I don't even have any other weapons for that wing suit I could be using instead. Wtf is this shit? :D

    Haha fair, Warframe has a lot of jank, especially on all the older side content like archwing.

    I think the mission you're having trouble with is the pursuit, if I remember right you have to shoot the engines first to slow the ship down, then shoot little round shield generator things. Was that mission required for progress? If not, you could come back to it later with better guns. I think Grattler is the first AOE archgun you can usually get, the blueprint for it comes from clan chem lab, so you would have to join one (or create your own and research it).

    Also if you want help, you can add me (GaerthGL in game handle), I'll be happy to help if we happen to be logged in at the same time.

    Yes, that's the one. And that's the exact recommendation I found in an old reddit thread when I researched this. I don't quite remember what we did it for, but there was probably a reason.

    We are part of a clan, fortunately, so I guess we can pop in sometime and get it. I feel like such a leech for just getting blueprints from them and not interacting with the clan itself in the slightest, but from what I've heard, most clans don't complain about that since they know that a clan is just a means for an end in the end. Still feels a little scummy lol.

    Gladly! I'll send you a friend request :)
