  • I really like Dark Souls/Elden Ring multiplayer PvP. I especially like Dark Souls 3 and it’s still pretty active, at least on PC! Hosts can choose to be invaded by intentionally using an ember and the dried finger and even try to “gank” the invader by teaming up with other players to fight them with a massive advantage. It’s fun to invade these worlds and have a duel, or try to overcome a gank. I got pretty decent at fighting, spacing, parrying, weapon-swapping during animations for massive critical damage, etc.

    But the game will also ember you after beating bosses, opening you up to invasions even if you didn’t want that. And invading is such an aggressive act that I don’t find it fun to hunt down and kill someone who doesn’t even want to PvP. So when I encounter someone who very obviously doesn’t want to fight me (and I can’t entice them to attack), I’ll just follow them around in underwear or a crazy outfit, staying out of the way and gesturing and yelling by using the carvings at all the PvE enemies they kill. You can also drop items for other players. It’s a silly, time-wasting thing to run around until the host dies or goes to fight a boss and you get kicked out of their world…

    • Right front: phone
    • Left rear: alcohol cleaning swabs, needlenose pliers
    • Right rear: wallet
    • Left cargo: device failure “toe tags”, work phone
    • Right cargo: work keys, microfiber cloth
    • Right “cell phone pocket”: bit driver with ~6 bits in the handle
    • Shirt collar: mini phillips/flathead screwdriver, pen
    • Shoulder bag: laptop, flash/external drives, power bank, chargers, cables, and adapters
    • Jacket: gloves & lighter right pocket, foldable earmuffs left pocket, mini cigars inside pocket

    Two pockets is pretty much only a swimsuit, lol. I skip all the work stuff and mostly stick with phone and wallet/keys. Is it weird that even at max, I don’t carry a knife of any kind? I find the mini screwdriver works for most situations…
