There were people saying these exact words about the personal computer in 1980.

Man, I was a first round beta tester for Xbox Live in 2001, still remember getting my MotoGP Beta Test Kit. And man, I head your exact argument SO many times back then. Almost word for word.

See, I buy into your last paragraph. Though I do believe Russia’s actions are a greater threat to our own personal safety (I’m American but live in the UK), due to the nuclear potential, than any other crisis mentioned, and living in London as I do and having very close lifelong friends in Moldova and dozens of…

No. It did not. No one in the West made Vladimir Putin decide to invade Ukraine, nor to cause the Ukrainian people to try to keep their country and fight back, and they didn’t cause Putin in his frustration to double down and start killing civilians.

It’s very reasonable to request that the news media ALSO covers other atrocities happening in the world.

So following that logic shouldn’t the argument be “let’s ALSO talk more about the horror of the other conflicts IN ADDITION TO the talk of Ukraine” and not “let’s not talk about Ukraine because we didn’t talk about these other things”?

More than two million Ukrainian refugees have had to leave their country and lives behind and flee for their lives.

Holy shit, right?

That is just awesome advice. Thanks man!!

Ah okay this seems fair. Maybe I’ll tick off 5-1 instead. Thanks!

Damn, don’t think I can as I’m Level 30 Temple Knight Faith and that’s probably why I’m stuck. Have only the Heal miracle so far and no magic.

Okay this is super useful. Really appreciate it.

Yeah problem is that I have a Temple Knight Faith build so right now magic is pretty nonexistent. Or is there a ranged magic weapon I should consider?

All of that is wonderful (really great post), but I just fought the Flamelurker and died within a minute for the 60th time in the Demon’s Souls remake and I cannot for the life of me find any way that I can make a dent on him. I have read all the guides, nada.

Came here to say this, you nailed it. Thanks.

Damn man. TMNT I felt like I could beat, but Ninja Gaiden - gah. Got to the last stage so many times with all the moths, only ever got to the last boss once and he mopped me up. Never pulled that one off.

SNES sequels to Zelda, Mario and Contra were over the top good.

All of that might be true AND you still have no idea how much new stuff and expansion they’re adding. It’s not unlikely that they’re reusing the whole overworld map AND adding an entirely new world AND adding huge floating continents over the existing map.

“But we try to design the games to make the cycle of repeatedly trying to overcome these challenges enjoyable in itself.”

Bought it on PS4 in December 2020. Played it a few hours and put it away. Decided to wait until it was good.
