I like that the first combat encounter after the tutorial area is just straight up the Jason and the Argonauts 'fight skeltals on a staircase' bit
- figuring out I can stunlock the skeletons was funny & satisfying
- I'm still not exactly sure why some are invincible up to a point (until I chase away the fire caster?) but figuring out I can knock them off the cliffs was cool

A quick youtube search tells me this isn't a new thought, but the male protagonist really do be sounding like the pufferfish eating a carrot
I've definitely wasted 1 or 2 fire keeper spirits because the item text is not phrased very clearly. I assume this is just a translation issue since I don't remember Elden Ring being like this, though the dialogue seems pretty naturalistic for the most part.
With the exception of some of the bosses I need to concentrate for, this is a great game to put a long podcast on and chill to. Been listening to The Worst of All Possible Worlds' "Adventures in Odyssey" recaps. Finding this podcast unlocked a core memory of hearing that show in my family's evangelical friends' car when I carpooled to school with them.

I always mute the audio before pressing Start because the extremely loud sword slash sound Will cause big ed to leap into the air and tear down my entire setup
I loved FoxTrot as a kid and the 'link the flame' ending reminded me of Roger's grill inferno. Fittingly, "My Hot Dog Went Out, Can I Have Another?" was the first FoxTrot book of many I bought as a kid
