    Every JRPG gives me that moment when I have a perfect pattern worked out with 4 members, and then I get an extra “cool guy” in the group. I can’t figure out what role he fits in, so I never use him.

    I have an old scythe that was passed down to me by a friend’s father-in-law before he died around 20 years ago. I would not want to ever get in the way of that thing if it was swung with malicious intent. It is very much a “fuck everything in this particular direction” type of weapon.

          If that were true I’d actually be kind of happy… I can’t say why without putting myself on a list though.

              Having never seen the movie, ya know, since it’s a Tim Allen movie, I can assure you that I’m entirely unclear what we’re all thinking.

              Is it something to do with the Grim Reaper being unfunny and quite frankly baffling and confusing how he keeps getting work? Because I always wonder why ABC in the early 90s was trying to decide who should star in their new family friendly sitcom, and they decided to go with the guy who got arrested a few years prior for cocaine. I mean seriously. HOW do you get arrested in the mid-80s for cocaine??? How big of a bender do you have to be on for cops to single you out in the 80s for cocaine??? Then again, the 80s were a weird time. I’m still trying to figure out how Paul Rubens got arrested for jerking off in a jerk off theater.

              …what were we talking about? Oh yes. Taxes. The trump tax is too high, and too stupid that it exists. What do you mean you’ve never heard of trump tax? Oh, fine. “Tariffs”. Whatever. It’s an arbitrary tax set by trump, and repealed by trump for his own personal gain. I call it trump tax, so that EVERYONE knows exactly who benefits, and why it exists…or doesn’t exist. Depending on the day. You should start calling it trump tax too. Lets make that a thing.

              …what were we talking about again? Oh right. The weather. FUCK CLOUDS!!!

          I think that’s sort of how it works in diskworld with death but it’s been a long ass time since I read those books.

        Now I’m starting to wonder if maybe that’s where he got it from… It’s very old. Maybe the reaper came and he managed to swipe it and gave it to me before the reaper had a chance to come back for him with a newer one.

      Using a one hand scythe to cut an overgrown yard is an experience I never want to forget. It’s shockingly effective.

    OK, so we know the game in question is not Dark Souls, because the great scythe is fast, hits like a truck, has massive range, and has bleed.

      Could be Guild Wars 2. There are two scythe the game (I’m not counting staff skins): Necromancer staff, which is a casting implement with mostly utility skills, and Necromancer Reaper “mode”, which gives you a ton of DPS and tankiness until you run out of your saved up life force.

        That one was this meme, low range, ok damage but a very agressive bleed buildup that relegates it into the gimmick weapon category.

          I think bleed is effective enough in the game to not be considered gimmicky, unless you’re talking about pvp but ds1 pvp was a gimmick in and of itself.

            I meant the self bleed it does. It requires mitigating it with bleed resistance and/or playing slowly.
