I was a little sceptical about the game because while not actively trying to be Bloodborne 2, the media and fans have been hyping it up to be. After trying the demo, I wasn’t really convinced either since the game felt quite clunky to me and the mechanics hadn’t hooked me in....
Pretty dang good. Weapons creation system was a neat concept, in practicality there wasn’t much reason to get wild with it but the idea is neat. Loved the amount of defensive options available, loved being able to take more risky sword parries for massive damage and stagger rewards.
Maybe don’t call your progression system the P organ. I was giggling every time.
I would rank it about middle in the fromsoft games. Pretty high praise tbh I do like their games a lot.
You know how Google’s new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won’t slide off (pssst…please don’t do this.)...
God I’m fucking sick of this loss leading speculative investment bullshit. It’s hit some bizarre zenith that has infected everybody in the tech world, but nobody has any actual intention of being practical in the making of money, or the functionality of the product. I feel like we should just can the whole damned thing and start again.
You’re right, but once we’re feeling effects of that magnitude we’re already pretty much screwed. We’d need long term corrective action, and basically manually reverse all the damage we’ve done. it bought as well be teraforming at that point.
Honestly with how that company is going you might be better off getting a cheap rig and installing your favourite flavour of Linux. I’m still salty their implementation of surround sound and video decoding can’t use the actual power of the chip it’s running on.
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace is historically significant for many reasons: it was the first Star Wars movie in nearly 16 years, the last Star Wars movie shot on film, and a polarizing, pulpy entry in the storied space fantasy franchise. It debuted on May 19, 1999, 25 years ago almost to the day, and earned over $1...
I think episode 1 is my favourite of all the prequels. I like both the others, but episode 2 is, well episode 2, and 3 was pretty great but the character transformation of Anakin was so bizarre to me that it takes me out of the movies completely. Like the relationship between Anakin and Padme feels so weird knowing what we know, it just throws me through a loop every time.
Episode 1, huge warts and all, felt like a complete experience, had a weird and interesting aesthetic, and characters acted like a consistent version of a character. I can’t help thinking all the pushback to this movie is what turned the others a bit offtrack, they felt a little less from the heart than 1 did.
God I wish someone else had directed those movies like George wanted, he knew his strengths and weaknesses.
On a rewatch a few years back it was amazing how much of the rot that hit the prequels and sequels started in rotj. It’s not as bad for certain, but the turn towards what was familiar from the other movies, characters being flanderised, and the whole thing being a bit of a mess all show up in that movie. It even was the first to do the yet another death Star.
The new “Recall” feature really does look good on paper, but the taking in mind that it catalogues almost everything you do on your computer, it could turn out to be a privacy nightmare. “logging things you do in apps, tracking communications in live meetings, remembering all websites you’ve visited for research, and...
If a being is in a situation where it’s unable to escape or respond to things done to it, over time it’ll often stop attempting to do so, even when the situation changes.
An example being an elephant not trying to rip out a chain from a wood post because it didn’t work when it was a baby. It can easily escape now, but it still thinks it’s trapped.
It’s a similar thing with humans sometimes, it’s hard to thrive and prosper when all your brain can think about is how to prevent past trauma from reoccurring, that they don’t deserve a better life, or even that self improvement isn’t possible.
Frankly given what they’ve promised and what’s already in there it could easily go to 3x. It’s fucking bananas. I was 30 runs in, and still finding new NPCs and events.
I would be happy with a 240hz 4k that doesn’t have a subtle hum when it’s going that hard. It’s hard to test for because shops are too loud to hear it, but in a quiet office it gets very noticeable.
Fantastic, I was forced out of my optimal dose and lost approx 3 months of my job hunt during peak hiring times because these idiots can’t get their shit in gear.
Broader adoption of keeping cats safe at home would have large benefits for cat welfare, human health, local wildlife and even the economy. So, should cat owners be required to keep their pets contained to their property?...
I have two cats, they have never been let outside and they’ve been completely happy. Granted the house is a decent size and we have a lot of things to keep them entertained, but that responsibility comes with the ownership I figure.
It’s stupid but sometimes to fight the unhealthy parts of your brain you have to resort to less than optimal strategies. If it works, even just as a stopgap, it’s a win.
It’s never bothered me as a concept either, though I’ve never had it tested. I figure it’s just a inbuilt bias or underlying thought pattern that has been built in from an early age. Not the best honestly, but not really a battle worth prioritising either.
What is your opinion on Lies of P?
