In the volcano area, I found a random message in the middle of nowhere, that simply read :
“Seek the Elden Ring Or something…”
To this day I’m convinced it’s the most practical summary of the game and the player motivations. It also made me giggle a lot for no reason.
It bothers me how incredibly thin skinned he is. You could start an international incident quite easily with a tweet these days.
Running Ubuntu 25.04 with Wayland plasma so it’ll play nice with my rig, really happy so far. My login screen doesn’t display properly for some reason but it’s the last in a list of minor problems I’ve been getting through.
Big issue for me is the direction towards incentivised exclusivity. I can tolerate it on consoles (barely nowdays) because you’re paying someone to use your hardware instead of another, and you have to specifically develop for console hardware. That takes time and effort.
Different distribution platforms do not have such issues, and I don’t want exclusivity anywhere near PC gaming, unless you’re self publishing. Frankly if they weren’t banging on about steam using the industry standard % take, while they themselves are trying to undercut and use garbage tactics, I would have absolutely no problem with them, same as Ubisoft and EA’s garbage store.
This reads like how we used to think that the body got lighter when we died due to the soul leaving the body. Turns out we just exhale and fart a lot after death.
Not like wrong wrong, most of my big realisations happen by myself. I consider recognising others points and being willing to modify my ideas when appropriate an invaluable cognitive skill. It’s more difficult sometimes than others, but I’m not going to end up as a closed minded old man at least.
Definitely 456-123 order, I know some people have different ways they prefer to watch but I think that kind of detracts from watching how the franchise evolves over the years.
If you want more after that, rogue one and andor is pretty good, clone wars/bad batch has some good stuff (though I’d recommend finding a watch guide for clone wars, some episodes are straight up kids stuff, other episodes are almost literally Vietnam war and decapitations)
I think the sequels are interesting to watch, I’m a bit of an 8 apologist in some areas, but you have to go in with the expectation that there’s a general decline in story progression and making sense from movie to movie.
Honestly though I think the series has a general decline after 5. It’s all not bad, and there’s some good stuff, but if you find yourself uninterested don’t force yourself to continue after like episode 6.
Ah yeah then that’s Vulkan
Hope you’re running on Vulkan, for me it went from 30ish fps to an illegally high number for some ungodly reason.
I mean, there was one person that didn’t in this article, and they got fired.
No, because their fear is based mostly in sexism.
You know that sounds an awful lot like how windows GUI behaves. I only recently started daily driving and the amount of gui elements you can change is mind blowing.
Oh I completely get you, on a rail is a famously difficult spot for a lot of people. I think the lack of landmarks and long duration really hurts that chapter. If it’s any consolation it’s mostly a one off situation, and yeah black mesa doesn’t really have an equivalent.
Ikr, Australia has some huge problems but we actually pulled off doing a good thing for once.
We don’t hate them, but it’s generally frowned upon because of those issues, and yes we do kill invasive species a fair bit.
Which particular part? I’m interested and somewhat outside of the situation.
Don’t feel too bad about it, the best bits are the first half or so I’d argue.
Which bits in particular? Because on one hand it’s a fairly linear design, but on the other there are some bits that can loop around themselves and objectives aren’t always obvious.
