Naw, it made some kinda sense for a while but the writers really jumped the shark in the past decade.

Streaming is just cable

I think the Dark Souls games have kinda earned an undue reputation for being unapproachably hard. They’re really not all that tricky once you learn that death isn’t a huge loss condition, just a step in the journey. I initially found them frustrating, but once I learned to not be bothered by dying and simply try again, I found an immense joy in exploring the worlds and challenges within.

Some bosses I beat first try, others will take me an afternoon or a few days to beat, but I have fun with it either way. Different strokes for different folks and all that, but I think Dark Souls and it’s like are good lessons on how to get over feeling bad about “losing” and just enjoy the game.

Plus, you can always explore areas to gather up whatever you need to level up and slowly get marginally stronger as you become more familiar with your character and tweak it to your liking.

The response that it’s too hard has been weird to me. I’m not very good at these sorts of games but it hasn’t been terribly tricky compared to other parts of the base game. And I’m having a lot of fun with it.

I do think the advice of taking advantage of the balancing mechanics they literally put in the DLC to make it challenging and help mitigate that is solid.

Awww, kinda sorry to see the kimono parted here, I liked thinking it was some half human half beast monstrosity from beyond this world that happened to have 8 limbs in addition to a lion head.

Still, great boss fight and wonderful design and music.

Drive 3 to 6 hrs south (depending where you are, maximum assuming you live in P-town) to a decent state and ask for a Taylor Ham, Egg and Cheese with saltpepperketchup (that’s one word) in most any small bagel shop.

That’s Taylor fucking Ham you cretin!

Outta the 3 mentioned, I gotta pick ketchup, but if we’re talking favorite sauces or condiments, gotta give it out to toum. The incredible garlic taste in a spread is to die for and works wonders on everything from veggies to steaks to chicken to bread. Seriously, try making a grilled cheese but 86’ing butter and subbing toum. Fuck, that’s amazing.

Shout out to kewpie mayo, tho, the condiment I use irresponsibly on so many things it doesn’t belong…

Hey Googoo, I ain’t gonna watch YouTube if it got ads

The Pope and the Church aren’t friendly to the LGBT community?

Color me shocked!

Once. It took like 15 min and I did it while grocery shopping.

I’ve never really seen an issue with the standard glass beer bottle in North America, is there a superior bottle shape that I’ve been missing all my life?

I think you should try it. I think an hour is appropriate for a lot of the story beats if you have a decent memory, though maybe an hour and a half would be better suited to some of the more involved parts. A lot of this is affected by your reading speed. There’s a lot of reading.

For what it’s worth, I also played it in bursts, but probably something like 2 hr sessions. There’s a lot of rough, serious material in that game and I found it a lot to process at once, so I took breaks between sessions fairly often.

How thorough of an understanding do you want?

One could read Wikipedia pages on the broad strokes of these topics and have a fairly functional definition of both to get on with their daily lives. Or one could take a more academic approach and read Marx and Smith along with other philosophers and economists.

Part of the issue with both methods is that the meaning of Communism and Capitalism seem to change depending who you’re talking to and in what context. They are both such contentious topics that there’s a great deal of propaganda, misinformation, common misunderstanding and willful ignorance around them.

So, are you hoping to engage in debate (or moreoften argument) about the merits of one or another? Or just hoping to gain enough understanding that you aren’t confused when the topics come up in casual conversation? I’d advise against the former. It’s exhausting and seems unproductive. At least online. In person, it makes more sense, but you’ll have a hard time finding people who are opening to considering changing their opinion on either system. If it’s the latter, you can really just make stuff up, it seems like most others do anyway.

These are rich people crimes.

Generally only the poor go to prison, unless the rich person committing the crimes has committed them against people far richer than them.

In terms of Trump’s charges, something like only 10% of people with similar convictions go to jail. So it seems unlikely, but it is possible.

Yo where you get your grass from I wanna avoid it

Why… include all the train stuff? That seemed kinda pointless

“Just pee? sigh”

I’m less concerned about how these are deployed against soldiers as I am about how they’re being provided to police departments as they are in the US.
