Appreciate this podcast so much. Despite being in a diff world, we're the same age group and I get lots of little bits from different topics ya'll discuss, or at the least, I get to hear an interesting perspective on something I'm into. It's nice getting to hear people in hobbies I hover around talk about stuff in a way I feel like I somewhat click with.
I mostly agree with Toaster on Bloodborne's blood vial economy, I do feel like it should also be impossible to fully _run out_ of them. To use the example of a group of enemies that drops 5 vials but might cost you 3 vials worth of damage to kill, I don't think it should be possible to respawn with less than those 3 vials. (Please ignore me if this is already the case. I haven't played BB in years, so my memory might be a bit fuzzy.)
I never found the bosses to have too much health in Bloodborne but I did use the funny Hunter Axe Consumable healing is fun in these games, I really enjoyed playing around with Lifegems in Dark Souls 2, or like Humanity in DS1 and 3 can be fun for extending how long you can go before needing to return to a bonfire. I farmed like once for blood vials in Bloodborne I think? Granted I had a pretty easy time with Bloodborne (at least the bosses) because funny Hunter's Axe is very strong. I love how many things are flat out optional in Bloodborne, I've always really felt like it feels like a successor to Dark Souls 1 in that way.
For the healing items, this is something I think dark souls 2 did fairly well. Having both in the game is nice and the game makes you inclined to use the consumable one since you only start with one flask. You could have a lower limit than 99 of each that you can carry, but always having some healing without worrying about running out is a great middle ground.

For those interested in the channel I was talking about at the end, it's Takarias :)

Just gonna leave my comment here to say that thumbnail art is so fucking good. Love the colours.
It took me a moment to realize Milo was a cat
I swear to God one day I will watch Toaster's video essay on Panzer Dragoon and Keith's playthrough on Planescape Torment
also you guys really should listen to up late with toaster
Oh hey what timing! Been (re)playing Bloodborne with my spouse. Yup! Still one of the best games ever made!

PORT IT TO PC SONY I BEG YOU
What channel or vid is Colonel referring to at the end? It sounded interesting but he didn't spell it out and it wasn't in the video description.
"Takarias", apparently - Colonel posted a comment exactly about this 6hrs after yours. 😀
Wish I could watch toaster play bloodbourne for the first time
Did Keith forget to upload this to the podcast audio hosting again
Let's, GO
Im so far behind on various lets plays but monkey brain see bloodborne i click
I feel like we all know that like Ubisoft, Bethesda is gonna die someday, its just a question whether it'll be in 3 years or 8
Bloodbourne is genius, too bad there isnt a whole ton of content
Keith has such a hot voice.
