Progressing nicely through Dark Souls. Wolnir gave me some trouble, but I eventually slew him. Irithyll was fun, I enjoy those 1v1/2v1 sword fights. I beat Pontiff on my first try (without any summoned help!). Went through Anor Londo, died 50 times to the archers and the rat-lizard things. Finally reached the boss, beat him around my 5th attempt. He was seriously annoying. And that's where I'm at. What about those...creatures in the dungeon? Or is that a different Irithyll? As a player of Dark Souls 1 I can confirm those Archers are friggin deadly. Guess they kept things the way they were. 73 years ago, today, Operation Overlord began. I'll drink to that.

Which creatures do you mean? I'm just now entering the dungeon. I did fight the grotesque human spider things.

And so it was that Antonio Santa Anna finally reached 700 posts and ascended to the Darth Vader heavens. Now that he has fulfilled his major goal, he can go back to normal life.

I am the very model of a modern Major-General, I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral, I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical; I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical, I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical, About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news, With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.
I'm very good at integral and differential calculus; I know the scientific names of beings animalculous: In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral, I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
I know our mythic history, King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's; I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox, I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus, In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous; I can tell undoubted Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies, I know the croaking chorus from The Frogs of Aristophanes! Then I can hum a fugue of which I've heard the music's din afore, And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore.
Then I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform, And tell you ev'ry detail of Caractacus's uniform: In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral, I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
In fact, when I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin", When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin, When such affairs as sorties and surprises I'm more wary at, And when I know precisely what is meant by "commissariat", When I have learnt what progress has been made in modern gunnery, When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery – In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee.
For my military knowledge, though I'm plucky and adventury, Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century; But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral, I am the very model of a modern Major-General.

...Please, no. The people in my house think I'm weird enough... They don't need to come in and hear me singing THAT.

I need to learn the cadence but am too lethargic to begin that journey. Then again I'd suck anyway. Nevermind.

...Please, no. The people in my house think I'm weird enough... They don't need to come in and hear me singing THAT. That kinda cancel out the point you were trying to make. They already think you're weird. This means it doesn't matter if you didn't sang it out loud and they didn't hear it. It's because the damage to your reputation is already done anyway. There's nothing you can do about it. So go ahead and sing like a canary, because you have nothing to lose!
