I spent way too long making a character that looked like myself in Elden Ring. It had the opposite effect of immersing me in the game; seeing the cool armour and weapons in game on someone who looked *just* like me made the armour feel like slapping a Party City Halloween costume on and playing make believe.

Yeah yeah Godwin's Law, but right-wing bigots attempting to control the body's of people and Nazis is a comparison I'm willing to make 

In the email, which Bloomberg has seen and Kotaku has confirmed was sent out to internally hired staff, Ryan writes that the company, its employees, and its players are a “multi-faceted and diverse” community and that they all hold “many different points of view.” He also wrote that staff and the company “owe it to…

Agreed on all points, except I think Alecto is a woman

doing a Strength playthrough where I spam Flame of the Redmanes instead

tarnished guy with three different playthroughs, none of them doing anything except spamming Rock Sling nonstop from beginning to end 

As a matter of fact, our bodies will retain fat if we go without food for too long. It’s a response to hunger.

There’s a strong and increasingly growing chance they do not remember the ‘94 trial of O.J. Simpson firsthand.

Sword of Night and Flame is a strong choice for Int/Faith hybrid builds, getting a B scaling to both Intellect and Faith to its damage.

I played Dark Souls 1 relatively blind. I wore the heaviest armour I could find at all points, and didn’t pay much attention to putting points into anything besides Strength.

The game is just an excuse, really. It’s just a vehicle for bolting on innovented monetization systems, how to engineer sufficiently entertaining mouse wheels that people will want to remain on.

it’s no longer the boss-melting machine it was previously, with some players reporting damage reductions of up to two-thirds. It all begs one question: What the hell? Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands is a cooperative game. Why make the fun weapons less fun?

The case seems to be such a fixation for people because it troubles the intuitive heuristic principle, believe victims, without suggesting any easy rule to replace it with.

Damn, I just deleted the game yesterday to force myself to play my active XIV sub rather than putter about the Lands Between aimlessly having already beaten it, guess I’m downloading it again

Black Knife Tiche and Lhutel the Headless both are highly recommended by the community, but I’d give the nod to Banished Knight Oleg who was the MVP of my sorcery playthrough. Sticky, decent damage, decent tanking, and very good at holding the boss’s attention.

But imagine getting that same million dollars and not having to have sex with people you don’t want to.

“The people who bought Land early basically locked up their assets in a zero return situation when there’s a lot of other things they could’ve done with that money, all because Sky Mavis kept telling us Q4 2021 was going to be the release date and now they seem to be treating current Land owners as an afterthought,” wr…

Elden Ring’s punishing boss battles and deadly dungeons crawls are the opposite of what I want when I’m high, but the open-world part of the game is perfect for an altered mind. From the peaceful-but-accursed vibe of Limgrave to the blasted hell-scape of Caelid, its settings are on-another-level beautiful, and…

You do know that by clicking the post, and moreover by taking the time to write a comment to the post, you drive up the only metric that matters to ownership and advertisers, and that the best way to get something to show up less is to not click on it and not engage with it?

Eh, if people were going to call me a pornographer anyway, and a company offered me a million dollars, I’d think about it.
