It’s almost as if making something with love resonates.

The earliest PS3s could run PS2 games. Those were nice, rare, and expensive.
I wish they’d kept up with the hardware backwards compatibility.
It is pretty lack luster. I was hoping there would have been at least one more layer of depth that might’ve let me choose between offense and defense rather than just both.
But to me: duplicating all new crafting materials and filling a lot of places with loot that can be purchased infinitely in the base game is more of a drag, however. Crafting is the original sin of Elden Ring.
Sort of. They front loaded the benefits of specific upgrades so you felt more buffed early on. So the new stuff scales more akin to sacred tears for flasks.
Honestly probably a worthwhile change. Hooks players in better.
60 vigor at level 80 is 60 vigor at level 700.
Having played invasions, many many people dont level up health so they’re a one shot kill already. It is a comical reality of how people play the game: never levelling their health pool.
We have figured out how to no hit Elden Ring. There’s walkthroughs and guides.
We haven’t figured out how to no hit the DLC. The walkthroughs and guides for it are being written now though. Once those are all up this whole refrain of difficulty will pass as people will be able to spoil any surprises and feel better about it.
It is weird because it isn’t a single player game. It can be if people take it offline, and on PC: there’s mods to hell. They can cheat and singleplayer it up all they want. So it is odd to me that people want what they already have and others are mad that they have it.
Playstation players though are a little stuck without more technical efforts to cheat.
No the decisions weren’t necessary for all that, but for the one simple graph tracking campaign costs it was particularly salient.
The sudden spike coincides with the Citizens United and SpeechNow SCOTUS decisions.
Friend, I think the feeling is mutual because damn that right there’s the pedantry. That’s a hole you dug and jumped in yourself. So yeah, be quiet down there.
Guy, it isn’t really pedantry to note that Elden Ring is not the fourth entry in an existing series to be considered breaking a perceived tradition or rule with its gameplay.
Elden Ring is importantly not the Dark Souls series.
It is a FromSoftware game, which notably includes Bloodborne and Sekiro.
Elden Ring is closer to Dark Souls but it is hardcore influenced by Sekiro’s resounding success and the developer’s unrelenting love of Bloodborne.
Every annoyance I have with Elden Ring is me applying Dark Souls logic instead of going something like: ‘oh. Sekiro.’
I’ve been doing it on NG5 and been watching a blind playthrough being streamed on NG7.
The complaints of difficulty are pure salt tears.
I admit I do not enjoy some of the boss designs as much, but being forced to change or use specific tactics is nothing new. People mad about their ‘builds’ need to get over themselves.
New content dropped and the old stuff doesn’t work the same. This isn’t the first FromSoft DLC either.
The level designs are pretty top notch and feel much closer to the dangerous mazelike web of shortcuts and ambushes that worked for the Dark Souls series.
The base game spread content across dozens of small short dungeons. The DLC appears to feature fewer but longer dungeons, which I am inclined to agree with as ‘a good thing’.
Chris Taylor talking about Fallout Tactics illustrates the clusterfuck Interplay was on Fallout years before that.
To me that album was a man facing his mortality and impending death.
One of my good friends was raised Republican and actually worked for the California Republican Party until he finally got so fed up with their shit he finally rejected politics overall and started homesteading. (I.e. when he broke ties with his freakshow parents.)
From his time there he would describe the insane shit he experienced. Like the local party leader had an unwritten rule for all meetings: the water pitcher on his table always had to be the most full out of anyone else in the room.
The GOP is weird man.
They seemed great up until around that time in 2016 they went public.
Before that you had all the Crusader Kings, Hearts of Iron games, Cities Skylines they helped make, not to mention Pillars of Eternity eoth Obsidian. Up through 2015 they were great.
For anyone reading the above: Hamas is the one in negotiations with Israel. The words that came out after ‘but’ was a factual statement, not a justifying qualifier.
Hamas is negotiating with Israel on behalf of Gaza. Textbook case of prejudice hijacking reading comprehension.
Day in and day out, yes. It is a Kafkaesque political strategy. It is about injecting discord and confusion.
It is a pretty common tactic for accepting or supporting a genocide, or priming people to shame others for not accepting or supporting a genocide.
Corollary: there’s a somewhat relevant quote by Sartre on the ‘anti semite’ from the immediate aftermath of WW2: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7870768-never-believe-that-anti-semites-are-completely-unaware-of-the-absurdity
Pritzker. Easy. And?
Pretty much any blue state governor would’ve been a strong option about a year ago is Biden had endorsed them during the presidential primary.
