What has surprised me most about Elden Ring is how much it feels like Dark Souls 2, which is the one Souls game Miyazaki was less involved with. Specifically the Scholar of the First Sin edition, as that had the most sprawling of Dark Souls’ maps. Thankfully it doesn’t look like Dark Souls 2.

Those kids should hold back on the opposite day shenanigans until their trial...

Reason #1 why I never play a Souls games on PC.

Back when I cared about ASOIAF it would drive me crazy when I’d see something by GRRM that was unrelated to him finishing that damn series. Then I stopped caring, because the last couple of books felt like the literary equivalent of treading water and the TV series gave me the broad strokes of how it all ended anyway.

I can’t belive they’ve already dramatized the Jussie Smollett story:

That’s a nice trick that I may well use.  But I don’t think a lack of pause is that much of a problem.  Outside of combat you can just quit the game to return to the main menu.  Continue from there to pick right back up from where you left off.

So hoping someone is shot in the face is okay, but hoping they are raped is a step too far?  Okay.

Good.  Fuck Clyburn’s corporate stoogery.

You realize where your hot take leads, don’t you? Don’t officiate that gay wedding, or let that gay couple adopt a kid.  Set up a separate lunch counter for black people, because it’s your business and you can choose to do it with whomever you like.

I’m sure it will run fine on my PS4 Pro then, right?  Right?

They were indeed given plenty of notice:

Bullshit.  The women could have had the same deal as the men’s team this entire time, but negotiated their own deal instead.  Buyer’s remorse does not equal gender discrimination.

Please provide one that matches the parameters of Canada’s Emergencies Act: 

It’s not extra-legal, and it’s not just about the whims of the party in power. The emergency act needs parliamentary approval, which it has received.  The protesters had plenty of notice that this would happen and those that chose to remain can live with that choice.

So the NFL gets all the scorn here, and Lynch has no agency?

I can’t believe I’m defending Kyrie here, but I don’t believe he’s the one that’s really complaining about this rule. Silver is the one that brought up the lopsided NYC vaccine mandate which is why Adams was commenting on it today. Irving’s fans are the ones making the biggest stink about him not playing. That’s all…

Your post reminds me of the time I was waiting at a bus stop and a woman was approaching from further up the sidewalk who was totally absorbed in reading something on her phone. There was a big pile of dog poop on the sidewalk nearby and she was walking directly towards it. I called out to warn her and she not only…

Trivial people complain about trivial things.

I dunno. I didn’t think the uproar was justified when he bought a big house for himself and his family. But conspicuous consumption and socialism aren’t a great fit. In this case I think his fans have a right to question his commitment to the politics he espouses. I don’t blame them for fearing that they might have…

Before you go further with your noble defence of NFTs and how they totally aren’t a scam, please explain HitPiece to the folks at home.
