I don't really get this obsession some people have with their "origins". Like... why is it so important to trace your ancestors so you can say that a 3% of you is... idk... persian?
I like how they say "I hope you are managing" but omits the "well", because they know that just managing it (even if it's poorly) is good enough.
I always found funny when the soulslike tryharders get pissy about difficulty settings and hyper specific about bullshit. To me, those people seem like they are trying so hard to gatekeep in order to keep the genre a niche that only them can enjoy. As if they were afraid that the genre became too "casual". It's kinda pathethic when a community (be it soulslike or any other one full of tryharders) wants to keep something in a certain way so nobody else can enjoy it. As if they were afraid that "impure" people could rob them their fun or something.
Yeah, I noticed this too. It's an unpopular opinion to think that dark souls is not hard but just frustratingly clunky in order to make it appear hard.
It's just not satisfying. Reminds me of certain old games that were made artificially hard by dumb mechanics only to make them last longer.
I've played hard games that were satisfying to beat, then I tried several dark souls games (included elden ring and a myriad of soulslikes) and found them obnoxiously clunky and unfun.
Me with dark souls series.
But I don't know if it's because of the games themselves or by the toxic community that makes everything a "skill issue" and blames you for not being good enough to play them instead of helping a player find a way to enjoy them.
Bought a home server, threw at it an HDD and installed jellyfin. Now I buy my music from bandcamp or rip my own cds (yup, I'm buying cd's back too) and haven't logged to spotify ever since.
Can't be happier.
Leopards... obese... or something.
Good. This, and a bit earlier openai not meeting the quarter targets because of costs make me feel optimistic about this damn bubble burting once and for all. Let's hope it happens soon.
If this surprises you in the slightest, I have news for you, and they are not good.
Every warning up there is in place because someone tried to do exactly what the warning tells you not to.
Now then. let's not be so excessive.
Do you have an idea of the amount of gunpowder needed to make them reach the sun? And for what? With such explosion they'll disintegrate before reaching their goal.
Just give each of them a small dynamite charge and blow them up to pieces. The result will be the same, but way cheaper!
I may have worded it poorly. What you describe is understandable. What it's not is going to those lengths as to take dna tests to know the percentage of you is from each country.
It's good to know your ancestors, but do you really need to know how much of you is Irish to annunce it publicly as if it was something to brag about?
