I have to imagine once it ages a bit more they’ll bring the regular price down. But as many fans say, it’s really a fair price for what the game is.

Didn’t realize the N word was family friendly lol

Aa per the FAQ on their website, Factorio will never go on sale.

There are a lot of other reasons to pirate content besides disagreeing with pricing. I get that the price point of this game is the subject here but I doubt 99% of pirates are at a disagreement over pricing.

I’m currently waiting through the trailers for my second watch in theaters lol

Its on my to-watch list. Flying Lotus is one of my all time favorite music producers so ive curious how his movie turns out.

When i first started playing Dark Souls i always equipped my characters with shields. I played all 3 games several times through with shields. One playthrough I decided to challenge myself and not use shields, only relying on dodging attacks. Doing so also opened up my offhand for using a staff or talisman (the equivalent of seals in Elden Ring). I have never used a shield in any Dark Souls game or Elden Ring since.

Dark Souls 2 introduced a feature called power stance. I wont go into go into great detail about it here, but tnere are many guides online that explain how it works. The short version is that it allows you to dual wield weapons from of the same category. You equip them in each hand, level up your character with the correct stats, then you open character up to unique move sets and really high damage.

Power stance wasn’t included in Dark Souls 3, but it was reintroduced in Elden Ring and is very fun to use. Some of my favorite weapons to power stance with are: daggers, twinblades, reapers, rapiers, and even heavy rapiers. I wouldn’t say power stancing is the equivalent to playing on easy mode. The movesets are unique and take some practice to use effectively. There are also some cons, like not having a shield or magic casting weapon in either hand. There is no way to do a jumping heavy attack using both weapons. Also stamina depletes much quicker. One of the greatest pros though, is that each weapon can be equipped with different status effects like bleed/poison or holy/frost.

If you look up or are suggested specific builds, be open to tweaking them to your liking. Higher numbers for damage output are obviously good, but are only so useful if the weapon you are using is right for you. Keep trying different weapon types until something sticks. Also, level up several different weapon types because different enemies have different resistances and weaknesses. Slashing weapons aren’t as effective against rock enemies as hammers are. Sometimes these resistances aren’t obvious so dont be afraid to use online wikis to look up some info.

Lastly, dont neglect summon pools! Some people will try to convince you that summon pools are for noobs, and it only counts as a win if you solo a boss. That’s not true in the slightest. Every item/feature in the game was added with the intention that players will use them. Same goes for spirit ashes. Each spirit ash is very different from the next. Some will follow you around, some will sit in one spot, some regenerate health, some inflict status effects on enemies, etc. If you or anyone else is on PC feel free to shoot me a DM and we can set up a coop session!

Android users do not need an app store to install apps onto their devices. Apple not only requires it, but only offers their own storefront and if i remember correctly, they take about 30% of all sales. Companies used to get around that by redirecting customers to a website that doesn’t use the app store to make purchases. Apple then banned those apps from their store making them no longer available to iPhone users. This has nothing to do with allowing people to install incompatible applications on apple devices.

I saved a few hundred dollars on textbooks with Z-Library. I’ve been impressed with their mobile app too!

I’m not even aware of any ps3/xbox360 games that are fully contained on discord. Maybe Orange Box?

Contained in the app you use, video you watch, article you read, page of a book, sentence in a paragraph, etc.

I haven’t tried super hard, but season 5 of Tim and Eric’s Aweseome Show Great Job is the only one I can’t get. I found one torrent, but there are no seeders.

A McChicken is definitely not worth more than $1 lol

Peggle! It’s a very fun and unique brickbreaker with lots of silly and cute characters, art, and music.

Not super girly/pink overall, but can be enjoyed by pretty much anyone.

This is a part of how any business is valued. You don’t just buy the building, stock, brand name, etc. You also buy the customer base. Any place you’ve ever done business with that later got sold, has made you a part of the sale technically.

How does people being wrongfully deported to El Salvador relate to a gaming community?

I’m trying to remember, is this a Mr. Show reference?

My cousin and I spent a summer messing around in hitman blood money when we were younger. There’s a level that takes place in a neighborhood with a cul-de-sac. We managed to kill every single npc undetected with the snare wire and dump theoe bodies into the sewer to leave no evidence. After each level, the game generates a newspaper article to describe the events and it basically said everyone in the neighborhood just vanished.

If the game plays on your linux distro who cares what you call it?

Maybe I misinterpreted either your previous comments or what the article is saying. But I can agree with that.
