22:20mins in I started to think that this could be a Total Recall storyline, as he knows nothing, and could wake up and be like "I've never been to LOWER LEVEL!!!!"

0:25 Level 178 tank build with soreseal and 40 Vigor omegalul On one hand, I wonder how much better this build would be if he dropped the soreseal for like an extra defensive option (he could switch in like a specific elemental resistance talisman as needed) and switched out 20 points of that 71 remaining Endurance for Vigor instead. He'd still hit the 50 softcap for stamina. All the extra endurance over 50 gives him like... 8 points of extra stamina lol On the other hand, he's so heavy that he needs more than 50 Endurance to stay in medium load. I did the math real quick; with the bonuses from his Great-Jar's Arsenal and Erdtree Seal +2, he'd need a minimum 62 Endurance to maintain medium load with his current gear. If he wants to make room for heavier weapons, he'd probably want to keep his Endurance as is, but then I hope he'll at least level Vigor. The DLC will likely force him to anyway lmao

Tank-build like a boss, to then equip the soreseal talisman and bring all that stuff down by 15%, mad lad

Haha, no. Wait until you see the last orc mission of Beyond the Dark Portal. You have to cleverly dispatch a seizable human base at the start, or you wont have enough gold to finish the mission. They will starve you to death.

I was 13 and hell ya it was hard I swear it made me smarter than my peers though lol

Omg watching him trying to find the crit spot. Thought I was gonna have an aneurysm.

Lazy Michael Zaki has gone soft ;-P #Retry #RKG

This build will come in handy with the final boss

As someone who has looked into doing writing in that field you are talking about both writing and editing, where maybe the writer is good at spouting words but needs some handholding from someone who keeps them on track and goes and picks an artist for the cover and looks at other technical details of type style etc (and I don't know what all the titles would be in a publishing house and who would be herding all these cats, but I think it was the editor for a long time, as in a big author would have 'my editor'). In filmmaking it isn't the screenwriter but the director who makes sure that all the various elements come together. Perhaps it is because games are not considered 'real art' where you have to sell that it is well made artistically but it seems this job is not on the tip of everyone's tongue and it isn't necessarily a writing job. I'd have to have a lot more knowledge of the gaming industry to pick through some job titles and say mostly the person with this title should be in charge of this or maybe it isn't even consistent enough in the industry to figure this out.

He plays Elden Ring like a Lance player in Monster Hunter and I love it.

I'm super happy to see that Day9 is still around and kickin', haven't watched a video of him since the days of StarCraft II: WoL. I can see not much has changed other than his age. 😂 Still same old goofiness he always brought to his videos. I'll never forget one of his SC II analysis videos where he said ".. or maybe you're a master debater" talking about some aspect of a strategy and a few minutes later he saw people in the chat were laughing about it and he's like "I can't believe I just said 'master debater' live on the stream" 🤣.. also remember ringing in the new year with him and his other viewers one year through his stream where he brought some of his viewers onto his stream.. or it may have been Christmas Eve or something I don't remember exactly.

Also, the games that make the most money aren’t the 10/10 games

the most popular games aren’t 10/10 games though

21:08 how did you know his name before even clicking on him ?

I hope you go minigolfing with buds sometime and stream it on twitch like MLG

I first caught sight of "the glowing spot" at 10:12 And like, that glow is only slightly a different color from the glowing coals that fill the whole monster

It's kind of great to see you try this out. It's got pretty awful reviews on Steam and it doesn't seem like it really deserves it

Biden will pull out a pickaxe at the next debate

Cool. Learn something everyday

Just discovered your channel and i love your vibes ! Its a nice break from all the overly energetic streamers. Gained yourself a sub ! ❤ I'm an old wow player that took a break of half a year and i'm feeling as lost as a brand new player 😂

Ready for combat? Day9: poke, Poke, POKE

Still waiting for Warcraft 2: Beyond the Dark Portal continuation

The weak spot color is really similar to the Furnace Golem’s internal color. Still, that was really funny! 😂

I actually disagree with the comments that the greatshield is boring. Sure, its different, slower, more methodical, but i much rather watch someone carefully stamina manage and learn to defeat things in a way that they enjoy than say, the 25th Int deathbeam ive seen or just another dex katana build. Dodging isnt the only way to play, let the man do his thing 😂

Most people watching this is sitting on their very own John Keeshen!

What a happy man

him not seeing the glowing thing has to be a bit right? he quickly moved his camera not to see it like it was on purpose.

1:13:00 Deep down, we all want to be PepsiMan right after he gets out of the shower.

I'm soo tanky! he said and then enters the first boss fight hilariously overconfident.... :)

Wow, the German version of the intro is so much better.

Instead of struggling to beat the bosses, you just become the boss and make them struggle against you xD

Fantastic

Don't feel bad Sean, it also took me a while to figure out the weak spot on the wicker men. And I have a LOT of hours in this game.

"What is this gift? Miyazaki has gone soft." This game has me checking corners in every room in real life, let me tell you.

Hobart is the capital of Tasmania, the southernmost state in Australia. (which I assume is what they are referring to, given the other australian references. Like Fosters is/was a typical aussie beer)

The DLC really wants you to have more than 30 END

Day9 is the youtube funny-man.

15:00 One of the best fromsoftware bosses ever: two dudes in a coat

I love that day9 is streaming elden ring. I wish I didn't work such a crappy job and was around to tune in from time to time. Been a fan since the sc1 days and elden ring is my favorite game so it's too bad. I hope you keep uploading your playthough to youtube!

Yes Leigh you do get to split $12 if you don't curse but your share goes to pay off every time you've demonetized the episode. You are about $3,540 in the hole

Nostalgia for things only two years ago is becoming the norm because of the phenomenon of COVID time. Time as a physical concept is only a yardstick, when we talk about the perception of "how long ago" something was, it can be affected by all kinds of things. And COVID was basically a giant time dilation effect for the whole world. There are almost no people who feel the same relative perception to time now as they did the height of the pandemic. It's been shockingly traumatizing to many adults, and as unshockingly traumatizing to all the kids that have been basically growing up in a world warped by COVID like ours was by 9/11.

I refuse to believe not seeing the crit spot wasn’t a bit

Loved the elden ring playthrough and am just as excited to watch you make your way through the dlc, enjoy it, its amazing :) And please never stop uploading these videos, theyre so nicely made and so much fun to watch Never stopped hoping for the next elden ring highlight xD

Demonetized at exactly 3:24

Poor Simon from Ohio.

homei was confused strafe and Q and E. dude has never played an mmo i see.

So are they basically worldbuilders?

it is really painful that Day9 did not build a lumbermill right away, this would have given him such a resource boost

Pretty stressed out from work and/or alcohol abuse for the past 3 days. Feel quite a bit better now.

Dropping the Scat Man Jon, good stuff
