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.
If you wany a rural setting you’re probably fucked.
If you’re looking for a SC kind of ‘city’ I would suggest perhaps Colorado, or something like Bend Oregon, or Spokane Washington. More isolated cities without large populations and also surrounded by that rural character.
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.
Forbidden navel gazing.
Chris Taylor talking about Fallout Tactics illustrates the clusterfuck Interplay was on Fallout years before that.
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.
Cereal is $7 to $11 per box at my grocery store.
Then after a few weeks they go on sale down to $2-$4 each as long as you buy 3 or 4 at once.
Infuriating shit.
Mine would always just dunk her paw and lick the fur.
All uncovered drinks had a strict supervisory requirement/time limit.
The Tim & Eric episode he directed was wild even by Tim & Eric standards.
For the Russian revolution you’ve also got that whole World War 1 thing where the rulers were expecting the freezing starving people to repeatedly bayonet charge machine gun positions with zeal and elan for years on end.
You’ll be hard pressed to have your average person online casually use the Engelian type use of authority in authoritarian. The authority of work or authority of capital isn’t what they’re thinking. What is being imagined is almost always despotic tyranny.
Same thing with dictatorship. Most people will see that word and not associate it with a philosophical concept that includes a kind of rule by a class of citizens. They’ll use it synonymous to despotic tyranny.
Outside .ml at least, and especially on .world.
Far from it: history is an account of things that happened. Learning from it requires a solid adherence to what is known about what happened.
The value of speculating on alternate timelines is not to learn from the theorized history but to illustrate how interwoven it is with the events of the time.
You can still call that learning from history, but it is a very different avenue of inquiry. I love alternate timelines, and I also respect the limits of their value.
It seems odd to me how the author compares Ukraine to an alternative reality of 1938 imagined by their favorite historian.
Flat comparing 2020s to 1930s is already tenuous enough.

So you say uou’ve heard complaints about Lemmy devs, who run the instance in question here, for four years.
That is a direct illustration of what I mean: from the start of Lemmy there’s been complaints of the devs.
As the Fediverse becomes bigger, this type of stuff isn’t going to be wanted by any entity especially not ones owned by Meta.
I was more responding to the person from threads with that line. But I was more identifying a convenient alignment than a conspiracy to act.
I mean there are Lemmy communities with discord servers dedicated to brigading tankies and falsifying interactions on places like .ml. One of those communities is on my instance and comes up on my feed constantly. But I will admit that I have not seen that effort from Threads.
But nonetheless, since it is a fair assumption any thread with the word ‘tankie’ in it is going to go off the rails: I am not suggesting .ml admins and their mods aren’t overblowing their interactions or bringing a lot of this onto themselves. They’re just as mired in bad faith as the next poorly run community or instance. I am just saying I am not surprised by it.
The fundamental source of conflict is that developers of Lemmy, who are also admins of .ml, describe themselves as marxist-leninist. Their very allowed existence is a conundrum for some, regardless of what they do.
So there is absolutely interest in the elimination of instances like .ml from the Fediverse, especially as things like Meta’s Threads moves in to centralize communities and standardize discussioms so everything can start aligning with thr valuation of their investment.
It’s almost as if making something with love resonates.
