[darkest dungeon] so I got back on this dd1 train bc dd2 is out (on the epic store) and I still haven't actually beaten it on the easiest difficulty

and also I've seen some journals pop up on bakerst for memes

mood

and man it reminded me I loved the idea of like. just make an oc. or just play dismas. (or play reynauld I guess) but mostly pick a class pick a look pick some skills makeup a backstory wholesale or steal from the canon one for flavor

I have made a lot of progress lately! I've beaten all the final forms of all the bosses and took my first trip into the actual darkest dungeon itself

uh it sucks bruh don't do it

(I had a concept for a DD OC occultist)

I actually was doing really well except the shuffling horror..........sure does shuffle and my vestal therefore couldn't do her healing because she kept getting shuffled to the front and therefore everyone died

I was genuinely doing fairly well on the first go but alas. need some........move resist...............

used the wiki to help make teams to beat the bosses so I'm learning/relearning some better team combos

I'm also finally at the point where gold is really no longer an issue so long as I'm consistently beating quests without issue which...now that I don't have bosses to fuck me up...not a big problem

man I think graverobber is what I want to oc most, I'm super partial to that class

and plague doctor but I don't use her nearly as much as I used to when I used to play more

graverobber's good in literally any position so long as you have pick to the face, but I prefer one or two of her in the backlines to chuck daggers and plague everything (and chuck more daggers)

I'm not a fan of antiquarian or man at arms but I'm trying to learn to use man at arms now that the single one I had maxed out finally bit it and I'm grinding a new baby one

(apparently as with most games I tend to not go for buffs and just go for straight damage or for debuffs and haha actually buffs can be life or death!!!)

shieldbreaker getting actual backstory when you take a rest with her is pretty wild I'm learning

graverobber no

I'm so wary of 2 bc I'm not sure how the overworld wagon thing works, and while I love the idea of actual relationships and story beats forming between characters, the trailers look like it plays...so much differently than 1 and I'm not sure how I feel about that

my dreams last night definitely involved DD mechanics and gunslinger, in between very anxious dreams about home life somehow

(I've been playing this a lot lately)
