It’s incredible how easy it is to google “can you play Elden Ring offline?” before throwing a temper tantrum.

Trust me, I’ve been a union worker for most of my adult life, I’m all for em. I’m just surprised that part of the contract negotiations from a company as shitty as this one didn’t include a clause about not writing about it here. From a distance, that seems like a pretty easy issue for the union to cede in exchange…

This is actually the result of a phone call, he bowled right through the game.

I can’t wait to see how far down it goes.

Or you could do a body swap with me to get my massive gorilla hands! Suckers making Hank McCoy jealous, gimme those TALL tall analogue sticks.

The battery is the biggest issue here. Doesn’t matter how well it plays if you can barely play it without recharging.

A little surprised you’re allowed to write about it here, but glad you can, and glad you won. Union Strong!

I’ll say as someone that has never played a SoulsBorne that it was overwhelming at first, with class selection devoid of context and a tutorial that’s easily missable because it involves jumping into a suspicious pit, but if you’re down to use a guide to figure out enough stuff to get a sense of things as you dive in,…

Right!? It’s like the personification of classic D-list Reddit; not the actual dregs, because hoo boy do the dregs get into some bigoted shit, but just a barrage of bafflingly bad opinions spoken with the smugness of a seventh grader.

What I mean is, what if you’re in the middle of a brutal boss fight that you’re doing well in?

Okay... first of all, I’m sorry if I made it seem like I was having a go at you in my OP.

There’s no joke here but I love the attempt enough that you get a star, fuck.

There’s no reply I can make that would be more effective than just asking readers to click your username and grab some popcorn. Just when you think you’ve had enough toxic fanboyism, BAM here come the pro-NFT posts.

Just de-grayed someone who said that in real life enemies wouldn’t let you pause so ACTUALLY it makes it more realistic and good because games are ART and ART isn’t about your CONVENIENCE.

Were any of those dudes your boss, or had the potential power to fuck up your career? Because these two met in a director/actor relationship when Pugh was brand new to the scene.

Taking you out of the grays so folks reading in the future have an example of how pathetic the counterargument is. Yeesh, I wonder what it’s like to think you fart perfume.

They met when she was 23 and he was 43, nearly twice her age. To each their own, but I think it’s skeevy to date someone half your age, and I think it’s easy for a newcomer to the biz in their early twenties to make regrettable choices when a more established person makes a move.

Hope she’s got her helmet on.

Yawn.

Okay, a troll then, got it.
