I absolutely love online lunatics like this (and also they have way too much time on their hands π ). Gaming wouldn't be the same without 'em.

What's a drip?
Edit: Nevermind, I looked it up..

It's a slang word to mean the outfit or accessories. I believe, it started out regionally, but it's been popular with the current teenager generation.
As well as several generations of teenagers before the current one.
whats the very good stone?
In the game, there are stones that you can find, and when you use them, they say something. There's no voice chat in the games, so these can be used to communicate

Your character doesn't speak per say, so you usually are limited to gestures for interacting with other players.
The stone refers to a series of items thatve been around since dark souls 1 where you drop a magic stone and a voice comes out saying the line. In dark souls 1 and some others it was a rock you dropped and it broke open making sound, so the "stone" term stuck.
In elden ring it's called a "prattling pate: 'voice line here'". Your character blows into it like a flute kinda and the line is spoken.
Basically the guy showed up, said "damn ur fashion is on point" then left :)
ah. I have only played elden ring so did not realize it meant the prattling pate. though it was like a certain color of glowy stone.
Sometimes Iβll rename myself βFree XP Weekendβ and invade people and then just jump off a cliff or let them wreck me. For free XP.
I don't really engage with the online mechanics in Elden Ring... Maybe I should? I've put hundreds of hours into the game otherwise. I rate and leave messages but I've never summoned help for co-op or invaded people except for Varre's quest where I always just get obliterated by people who are way better prepared than me.
I've played rescue ranger a couple of times, legit one incident I intervened in was some poor bastard running for their life across the entirety of Liurnia Lake while the invader was leading an angry mob of enemies chasing them
Night and Flame got a workout that day, lemme tell y'all.
Mario Wonder also does that. Anyone know any others?
Not quite the same, but in WoW, you couldn't talk to the opposing faction. So sometimes people would make characters like this just to hang out in the other faction's zones and communicate using only emotes. Good times...
If you were lucky.
I remember when people figured out the invisible characters glitch and BG chat was just a wash of shit talk all s p l i t u p l I k e t h i s.
Saw some people also use that for good, but a majority in my experience were just heinous.
