      About

      Come for the bosses, stay for the hangout

      Hey, I'm Sword (or Berserk, depending on who you ask). Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro and Elden Ring got this whole thing started, and I still love helping people get past the boss that's been eating their lunch. These days the rotation wanders wherever the fun is, but the vibe stays the same: low-pressure, friendly, and in no hurry.

      For a while, chat could spend channel points to drop me into any game they liked. These are the results. The reward may make a comeback.
