    For anyone curious, ds2 boss damage doesnt display the accumulated number only the most recent attack, which is why some attacks deal damage disproportionate to the numbers shown.

    when i first played ds2 i did so on my terrible old laptop and never having played ds1 or des or really knowing much about them at all
    for some reason certain graphical effects just did not work at all and one of them was the like glowy orb above a bloodstain or an item pickup
    when i finally got to that room in fofg with the ambush and the bookcase i accidentally broke the bookcase and then saw that i could pick up 20 wooden bolts from the remains of it because the wood covered the corpse i mean yea makes sense i broke down a wooden bookshelf into being wooden bolts that makes sense
    i then proceeded to play the entire rest of the game thinking that sometimes breaking the scenery would just give you random item drops and broke literally everything
    it took probably about 3 years to realise that there was meant to be a little glowy orb above pickups when i got a new pc
