This is what I’m afraid of too. And it’s entirely within the realm of possibility, and likely too because he’s seemingly incapable of accepting public loses. He’s going to do something, anything in response.

Surprise! It’s proper history.

🤣

Nice.

I know, I know. It’s not a knock against the game or anyone who likes it. Maybe I’ll come back to it in the far future. There are almost too many games available at the moment so I’ll be ramming my flaccid dong against another wall until I love it.

This but with Cyberpunk for me.

I’ve tried W3 so many times but I just can’t get into it.

I’ve heard a great aphorism about this topic in that the national religion of Japan is “being Japanese”.

Copeland told 1819 News, which published the report on his 62nd birthday, that his online alter ego was a harmless “hobby” that did not go beyond his home.

Wow, thank you for sharing your experience.

How are you not higher voted. People on Lemmy complain about not having longform content that offers a unique perspective like on early Reddit, but you’ve written exactly that.

Definitely! I truly believe Elden Ring is accessible, it’s just not immediately clear how.

May I offer some unsolicited advice.

1. Your damage output is as important if not more important than “getting gud”. The more damage you do, the fewer attacks you have to dodge. That’s kind of the secret to all these Souls games.

2. Damage output and damage mitigation come from stacking many small, incremental bonuses. The most important upgrade for damage output is upgrading your weapon with ores. Pick one weapon (eg. Longsword) and invest all ores into it. Any weapon is viable for the whole game as long as you upgrade it. Don’t be afraid to commit ores into your chosen weapon as you will eventually have an unlimited supply.

3. It’s possible to suicide-run into dangerous areas for powerful items since you don’t lose items upon death. You can collect mid and high-tier ores this way even at low level.

4. It’s perfectly okay to farm exp from higher level, non-bosses. It’s low risk since you’ll be near a rest site. A good example is killing Vulgar Militiamen from the Farum Greatbridge site in the most northeast area of Caelid. You can horse yourself there ignoring everything. There are plenty of ideal spots that people have found, just look them up.

5. If you’re still having trouble, do each step in the following video as you see fit. Notice that most of these improvements are obtained by acquiring items, and not obtained by leveling up. https://youtu.be/GYI5Z3jhKB4

I mean many on the right truly want a homogeneous race of citizens. That’s not mutually exclusive with cheap, undereducated labor.

I was actually quite impressed with how Blizzard revived D3 with Reaper of Souls and its Item 2.0. They had some really bold and new (for the time) ideas and it worked.

But that was Blizzard of old and I have very little faith that they’re able to pull the same revival off on D4. The campaign was interesting, sort of, but beyond that: an awkward compromise between D2 and D3, and without the panache of either.

I suppose it’s worth playing at least once.

How you do feel about it compared to the others like Halls of Torment and Rogue Genesia?
