It would be funny to contact them about this…

It’s nobody’s decision but yours, but I will point out that as humans, we are very poor predictors of how we will think or feel in the future.

When we’re depressed, our brains process thoughts of the future as if we’ll be sad forever. When we’re happy and have lots of energy, we make big plans as if we’ll always feel that way. Lottery winners feel an initial euphoria and think they’re set for life, but studies show their mood returns to baseline after about 1 year. Age and development helps you push the fog of foresight a little further, but it’s still hard.

I don’t know you, but if I were speaking to myself at age 22, I would caution making a decision like that so early. I still cringe about being tasked with picking a college major at 18 and how wrong that could’ve gone, and this is easily 100x more important.

Very interesting! Editing it now to correct it as the day it hit the iceberg, because someone else mentioned that it didn’t sink until the next day.

Incredible work

Maybe they’re all cheering for the white pieces?

That’s an amazing story. That’s exactly the flavor of badass nerd that we need.

I just connect with Bluetooth like normal, and then in steam you can tell it to treat it like whatever type of controller layout you want: switch, xbox, playstation, etc.

I’ve been using these for years, including with my docked steam deck, and they already work great.

I also wonder what they could’ve changed.

Basically church clothes!

Replaced it with this one, thanks. I had tried finding the original uncensored version but didn’t have any luck.

Certain platforms screen for a list of trigger words and reduce visibility in their algorithms, which leads to people self-censoring and/or using weird euphemisms like “unalive”. I think it’s stupid and will usually reverse image search to find an uncensored version before posting to Lemmy, but I didn’t have any luck with this one.

(I do also think it has become a trend for people to self-censor even when they don’t have to because they’re so used to seeing it that way on tiktok or whatever)

He did do the nasty in the pasty.

Great rules

They’re still cities, but people tend to start calling them “rural” when you get a certain distance from the big cities and things spread out, often also near farmland and/or nature.

For example, this would probably count as rural.

It’s way more fun to make up your own build as you go, based on how you want to play anyway. Just be warned that the upgrade materials are really stingy after a certain point, so be a little selective with how many weapons you commit to.

…and you’ll know you’re in this swamp when you find it. Good luck!

I love reading people’s first time experience with these games.

Demon’s Souls was the last of the Souls games I played, and I thought it was hard still. The bosses aren’t as frenetic and complex as later titles, but the levels and the navigation is brutal. I still remember running back in that swamp over and over and over.

I also remember grinding out weapon upgrade materials in a cave for literal hours, because I didn’t see any other way to get enough.

People like you are why we have good things.

Ha, I can definitely see how that could be visual clutter. You should also see it for posts when scrolling through the community.

I help mod a handful of communities, and I suppose it helps sometimes when I’m navigating into random threads from my inbox - just as a reminder.
