You could call it a Metroidvania in that it has exploration on a large 2d map, but it’s described as a Souls-like because collect salt from enemies (like souls in the Souls series) and use it to upgrade your stats at sanctuaries (like the campfires in Souls).

One of my favorite memories of dining out concerns a live performer, although not for the reasons one might expect.

Sir, I have not yet begun to be passive aggressive! But I think we should probably cut the conversation short. Peace.

Someone with the means should start erecting statues of William Tecumseh Sherman along the routes of his campaigns.

I think the more disturbing part of that segment was the lady who thought ISIS could get into space.
