I’m in the PacNW and, just checked, the sun is setting today at 6:01. This game is so great it can easily take you all the way to Spring. And I say this as somebody who’d never played a Fromsoftware game before this one and now have over 700 hours into Elden Ring. Not to mention the hours of lore videos I’ve watched…

Google/YT searches for things like “Best early spear Elden Ring” or “Best early strength weapons Elden Ring” or whatever way you’re focusing. Fextralife has great tips for games like these and also do a great job documenting every single weapon, spell, ashes of war, armor, etc. Another great search is “Top 10 things…

If lots of people are having “kneejerk” reactions it is because you didn’t clearly state what you meant. It’s not their fault they couldn’t read your mind and what you actually meant. Again, from what you initially wrote it’d be easy to assume you were comparing the two. 

Thanks for writing up my sentiments. Engineer7 is definitely throwing attitude then acting like they’re not. 

These responses are partially due to your poor wording of your sentiments. If you had been clear from the outset you weren’t criticizing Fromsoft you wouldn’t be getting these responses. It’d be easy to conclude from the way you wrote your first comment that you were comparing Fromsoft with Ubisoft. ER is my first FS…

Then you worded things poorly because I thought it was criticism too. It’s not our job to read your mind, it’s your job to make your thoughts clear. 

You mean a site visited by hundreds of thousands of people don’t agree in lockstep with everything? It’s like people are individuals or something and not bots. 

I’m glad I didn’t have to pay for the game and got to check it out on Game Pass. If you couldn’t guess from the previous sentence, I did not appreciate the few hours I spent with the game. There was never a point where I felt like I was having fun. It also has a thing I find absurdly annoying in games: not being able…

Unless Hale tells us or some hacker finds the data and leaks it  I doubt we will ever know as the corporation isn’t going to tell us. 

To be silent is to be complicit in her own undervaluing. Will some jags label her difficult? Yep, and she won’t work with those difficult jags saving herself future headaches. There will also be people who admire her taking a stand and demanding to be paid what she is worth and will want to work with somebody with…

Individuals aren’t going to destroy the creative arts community. Corporations that have massive wealth that they can leverage along with all the assets they currently own are the entities that will eviscerate jobs held by creative people. Nobody thinks you’re trying to destroy the human spirit, but if doing so could…

Streamers can easily take a vacation whenever they want. All they have to do is record some streams in advance and have them released on a schedule while they’re on vacation. It’s a stupid notion that people making six figures a month cannot somehow figure out how to take a vacation and have to resort to subterfuge to…

When you’re visiting family that’s the time you’re most likely to want something to distract you from the fact that you’re visiting family. Not everybody enjoys visiting family for the holidays and only do it out of responsibility or to avoid being guilted by their parents, those people will watch any content that…

If that’s what they wanted all they had to do was record some streams in advance and release them over the holidays. This is a much more complicated and stupid way to accomplish that and also not make any money in the process. They picked Christmas because it’s a slow news period, usually, which means the media will…

Rich people gamble. Do you think becoming rich suddenly makes them immune to the psychological influences that cause people to gamble money they cannot afford to gamble? Pete Rose was gambling on baseball games he played in. He had plenty of money and fame and yet he gambled and he most definitely wasn’t poor. 

Love the game, would most definitely wait until I hear reviews about the board game before buying it. 

Cheating via anal beads is a story that’s going to gain traction regardless of its veracity because it’s so ludicrous. 

If that’s what they were doing, retail investors trying to stick it greedy billionaires, then they were delusional from the start as the system is not set up to punish those who created it to profit from it. In this day and age it doesn’t take any money to motivate people to report on idiots getting what they deserve.…

Literature going back to Shakespeare and Dickens is replete with impossible coincidences and implausible plot points. Get over yourself or write something better, which, if you could, you already would have.
