Is there a way to make my fireballs go farther? Was just able to start playing again and I'm running around undead parish as pyromancer and mad when my spells land short even when I feel like I'm close enough. Though I found an awesome shield which is making it easier somewhat.

Dammit I was in the catacombs giving the blacksmith an ember and one of the rolling skeletons killed him. :angry: I guess I'm fu... right?

You are screwed. I've heard there is a way to bring people back to life for an crazy amount of souls though I have no idea how.

Damn I was ready to give him the embers and make my fire weapon. You can give the tower guy souls to absolve your sins but that doesn't revive them. I killed Eingyi (He/She looks like an enemy :/) and did the sins thing and he/she still dead. I guess I have to wait until NG+. I'm going to kill all NPC before the final boss. :devil:

What I was planning on doing. Get some humanity and souls before NG+, just leave the Fire Keeper in Firelink alive in case you die. Also be able to snag a few more Fire Keeper souls and get your flasks up some more.

One boss to go, then it's just farming to make each of the weapons I can this play through and onward to NG+. Really want to start NG+ already, I can't wait.

And if anyone trying to get the tail weapon off of Seath, you can kill him if w/o chopping off tail while solo focusing on his tail. :( Think I'll use a different weapon than my greataxe hitting him for 550+. :(

I couldn't get the weapon. :/ My Zweihander was hitting for something like that too and I killed him.

Well, did everything I could do. All the max weapon upgrades I need slabs for, and I don't feel like grinding for them. I'll just use the 2nd play through to make those. So only to kill Gwyndolin who is a pain. If you can mesmerize what his attacks look like you'll figure out which one you can parry. Doing that it would take 2 parry's and 1 Great Chaos Fireball and I had him like basically dead, then he do his stupid quad move, followed by his darth vadar choke hold and that instant double dash. So annoying, the entire game never got a boss so low so many times w/o killing him.

I beat him! Figured out you can counter nearly all his attacks, so just parried him and when he was getting up, hit him with a Great Chaos Fireball. Went down in 3 parry's and 2 fire balls. Time to start NG+!

Man, that 90 minute run through is insanely impressive. Tried to follow in his footsteps... failed at the cutting of the dragons tale. But this character build is just awesome. I played up to killing Queelag just as him, increased my pryo hand to +11 before reaching soul level 4. Now I'm at 6 hours of game play, with a lvl 37 pyro, who has caught up to my other 2 chars of almost the same level, but having well over 40+ hours of gameplay.

Amazing how much more quickly as you learn it. But the pyro build is really OP lol.

Ya, im going to go for that. Is it 22k of souls at +15?

11 is 14000

12 is 16000

13 is 19000

14 is 22000

15 is 25000

And then once you get it there a NPC will appear in Blightown (before killing Lost Izalith boss) that can Ascend it to +5:

2500 for initial conversion

1 is 27000

2 is 30000

3 is 33000

4 is 36000

5 is 40000

It's alot of souls but its so worth it, because +5 has a magic adjust of 270, which is beast.

Actually, that NPC will show up once you have hit +10 on your pyro hand. I didn't realize it until last night. Was at +9, running all around the swamps of blighttown, and she wasn't where she was supposed to be. Read that you had to have +15 as well. So I ran and upgraded my hand to +10, and on my way back, noticed she was there. Was able to get all my chaos spells and high lvl spells. Of course, to do that, I killed the blacksmith and took his crest and then farmed it up in the woods a bit :p. All the spells were worth the 80k of souls though.

I'm a little peeved though, as I forgot to buy the shielded I needed before I killed the blacksmith. I'm sure I can still fair easily enough through the rest of the game without it, but it does help quite a bit i've seen.

Started a new character, this time a pyro, instead of continuing with NG+. Playing most of the time as human. I rarely played as human in my first gameplay and missed all the black phantoms and the multiplayer. Knight Solitaire is an idiot. He got killed in Gaping Demon battle. Is he dead now?

No. He'll be there for Anor Londo boss and I wanna say Demon Ruins. If you save him in Lost Izalith he'll also be there during final boss.

    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By ExecutiveFunction404 · Posted

      This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles

      The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
