well after watching dozens of lobos streams i grew tired of him, and some stuff i realized is hes not actually good at games nor is he smart. What he actually does is try over and over again not changing anything until he becames perfect at it. Lobro first blind playtrough was less painfull than wacthing lobos play any game for the first time.

Over quarantine, I played Dark Souls Remastered for the very first time. Turns out my brain VERY MUCH likes Dark Souls. Even with the comparatively clunky Dark Souls 1 moveset, I am REALLY good at this game. I first-tried most of the bosses, once I hit my stride. Sif, 4 kings, demon firesage, nito, even Papa Pling Pling Plong A.K.A. Gwynn Lord of Cinder all went down FIRST. TRY. And then on my next playthrough, I learned to parry. Aparrently, My brain REALLY likes Dark Souls Remastered. I hope to get enough progress on my book that I feel okay playing Dark Souls 2 and 3 soon, and I look forward to this video.
It's crazy how much his delivery style improved over time. Quickly too. This video is still very pleasant to watch, but Lemon's videos are goddamn phenomenal now.
2:19 "I haven't played this game for over 2 years" Ah, so THIS is where Lemon's descent into madness started. Glad to have finally found and witnessed Exhibit A!
I saw the title and was so excited, cause I actually did this one! The Caestus is my signature weapon! I started loving it in Ds3, used it again in 1, and once again in 3! I love punching things 😜
I have to say... I honestly love the fist weapon... I have recently dine this run it was fun... Good job... Im currently doing it on 3 now still as fun as ever... More of a challenge though
