It's not as if nobody ever critizised what the USA did in the middle east. People pretend now that we were always ok with it and never said anything.

I mean, it's probably a good deal for the few people at the top of the food chain. Who really cares about anyone else?

For me, the dungeons in ER are really just chalice dungeons 2.0 ... they pretty much feel the same in all the ways, except that now they aren't randomized. And yeah, there are some that I really don't want to ever do again ... worst is, the one with the best armor in the game is also the worst dungeon But then again.. there has yet to be a souls game that I actually actively replayed. Usually I sink ~150 hours into them and then they release the next game and I move on.

The Elden Ring open world is pretty much just the usual souls game world, but every room is scaled up x10. As I've just recently played Bloodborne again, the similarities are extreme to me. You leave one room (walk through a tunnel) in Bloodborne and enter the next, now the scenery changed and it feels like a completely different place --- it's exactly the same in Elden Ring, just bigger. Because it's bigger, they gave you a horse to travel faster. This is also the point where I have some issues with it... because technically the bigger world really wasn't necessary. That said, I'm not hating on the world building. As usual they did a fantastic job with the vistas and panorama locations. I'm just questioning if it was really necessary to make everything big. Especially since now combat balance goes haywire even faster than before... first it's way too hard, then it gets way too easy, and then everything kills you in 1 hit unless you pump vitality > 45 at least.

Maybe they misidentified it with something else?

Russia is only ok with war crimes that aren't recorded on video.

tbh I never saw souls games as "RPGs". Save&Load would also ruin a lot of what makes those games good.

That's just how their games work. You are supposed to farm souls anyways, and usually you gain more faster than you can spend on items. That said, I think Elden Ring is the first one where you are able to respec your character. Hell, can even change the face of the character for the first time ever. Really wish I could do that in Bloodborne.

Actually apparently some Wagner mercs were in Chernobyl and got the radz.

Would be nice if, but I don't think it's the type of game they usually work on.

Yes, I agree. That's also why I'm rolling my eyes whenever someone complaints about it. However, at current state I'm guessing this conflict will still take a while, so might as well start training them.

"because it “wouldn’t be appropriate”" lol. Also, yes, that toddler thing is disgusting. Stumbled over it by accident, because it was running over various twitter feeds. Hope they get this guy and bomb him to hell or more.

So you're saying I should actually watch Ergo Proxy? Tried first episode once, but it felt so ehh.

Haven't seen any decapitation reports.

Subverting expectations? Or just garbage writing? Who knows.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/06/russian-teacher-shocked-as-she-faces-jail-over-anti-war-speech-pupils-taped Pretty depressing read, tbh.

I thought they tried doing that with their political puppet, but because the election scam didn't work... here we are now.

The government is already talking about some sort of "9€/month for 3 month" train ticket, which tells me that something really crappy is probably going to happen. Usually our government tries to avoid spending money on us. I think the next year will be interesting.

I loved the scene where Raylan drops a bullet on a guy on the ground and tells him that "next time the bullet will be faster."

Can't really say much of that, I'm not reading german news a lot. Of course there are people who yell "stop russian gas/oil now!" etc. but they don't seem to realize what will happen if we'd just cut off the pipelines now (personally I think this would be catastrophic and might give a rise to pro-putin and the usual right wingers again). It's probably all too early to tell anyways, because most people aren't feeling the economic shift yet. Maybe things will look a lot different in 3 or 4 months. The way I see it, most people are on the side of ukraine. Interestingly, suddenly everyone feels like european brothers. Not really sure what exactly caused this, though, because I could swear anti-eu sentiment was quite strong before ("why do we have to pay for those poor, mismanaged countries?!" etc stuff like that). tl;dr -- I have no idea. But right now I think the worst is yet to come.

Well, that's what was talked about already before. This whole ukraine nazi thing is just hogwash of course. This is all about access to resources, which is also why russia will do everything it can to keep crimea and surrounding areas. Unless a miracle happens and ukraine can push russia out of these areas (unlikely for now), this will keep going for a long, long time.

Justified was great, though. Kinda thought of rewatching it again since a couple weeks. Last time I started it, it was still holding up very well .. the only reason I didn't watch it till the end then was because it got dropped from the streaming service and I would have to pay crapton of money for each season. : x Knowing my luck, the moment I start spending money on it, it's going to hit Amazon Prime and will be available for free. /Edit: Finished Dexter: New Blood yesterday. I think it was well done, and it ended how I expected. Apparently lots of people were pissed off again, but personally I think it was the right decision.

That's why you shouldn't have started watching it to begin with! Continued with Dexter: New Blood yesterday. I'm in episode 5 or 6 now. There's been some cringe moments now, but it's still good.

I can't even run the game smooth in normal. Can't imagine the hardware you need to run it in VR.

First episode will be good and then it's all garbage.
