I feel like aside from full-on accessibility settings for those who need them (which absolutely should be implemented and the FromSoft devs don’t get a pass on this), they could do something as simple as a 2% speed, health, & damage nerf to all their enemies and it could be enough for most newcomers that have paid for the game, but didn’t get anything out of it. Like me. There are probably a huge amount of people that bought the game because of glowing “this is GOTY” reviews and couldn’t get past even Margit.
It would be far from “slavery” in the typical sense.
If this happened, those people would get food, housing, healthcare and job training while getting paid for it.
Though I’m definitely not in favor of conscription because how can you call yourself free if you’re required to do involuntary military work for the government.
It’s like conservatives using “Let’s Go Brandon” so that they avoid the appearance of impropriety, when really, they’re just self-censoring because they’re too scared to say it outright.

So it seems we don’t create our own hero? Which, I get that it would limit facial animations and dialogue, but becoming your own hero was such a huge part of Fable.
Anyway, it looks stunning, graphics-wise. I’m looking forward to it for sure.
As a very new PC gamer, supplementing my long time Xbox gaming, the biggest advantage of consoles is that games always work OOTB (or OOTDownload).
Sometimes with PC gaming, a game just doesn’t run for whatever reason, or you get crashes, or any other weird issues. Most people don’t want to have to tinker in settings just to get consistent framerates.
Including myself, because I don’t have a lot of time to play and I don’t want to waste that time troubleshooting.
I liked Wonderlands, even though it felt a bit short and wasn’t really as funny or gritty as the first two.
Since BL 3, it’s felt like the games devolved into a very childish humor, not in a clever way, but just an unfunny way.
Like, I know the first two games weren’t the peak of intelligent humor, but at least it felt they were intentional about how they utilized less mature jokes.
And the gameplay and stories haven’t been as good since BL2. Handsome Jack really stole the game in the best way.
Of course, the border problem is Joe Biden’s fault, enough to impeach, but Trump has/had no responsibility. Amazing cognitive dissonance from the dumbest member of Congress.
Motherfucker (not you, just general expletive), the dude is a habitual liar, crime lord, and violence instigator.
If Marchan lets him walk away with a slap on the wrist, I’m going to riot. Just because he was president doesn’t mean he’s “of high moral character.” He’s dancing all over our legal system with zero consequences.
Email aliasing is one of the most underrated privacy techniques that has yet to go mainstream. For the privacy-conscious user, it offers a degree of separation between all your accounts, making it harder for data brokers to correlate your various accounts across different services by not using the same email address to sign up....
I’ve been really enjoying the Proton suite of mail, drive, and VPN. Don’t use proton pass because I have to log in to sites from locked-down systems too often, but the aliases tool in Proton Mail is great.
(Not a paid shill, I pay proton because I want to get away from Google)
I enjoy a lot of these long-form critiques. I literally spent the whole 4 hours to watch that 4 hour critique of Galactic Star cruiser by Jenny Nicholson.
Not all the long critiques are good, but some of them really are great.
I also watch upwards of 3 hours speedruns of the Fallout series so…
support for declaring gold and silver as legal tender; and demands that the U.S. government disclose “all pertinent information and knowledge” of UFOs.
Also these, which… Fucking morons. Who the fuck is going to pay for things in gold? Especially because at this point, cash is more of an accessory than a primary payment method.

It’s not Trump the shitheel being president forever that’s necessarily the problem. It’s that he’ll set things up for Trump the idea being president for life. The next person to take the reigns from him, likely someone more competent, will be that US Emperor because of the damage Trump and the Republicans cause.
What “creation and self expression” means to corporations is micro transactions in the form of skins, textures, and single bits of paid content. Like buying a horse, then having to pay for the farming bundle.

This was me. Not that I was racist in any way, but I was brought up with a father that absolutely did not (still does not) think that systemic racism existed, that wokeness was damaging, really that any issues the left focused on were mindless and stupid and damaging.
I went into my first sociology class with that kind of mindset, and the moment I actually started doing research for papers, I realized how wrong I was.
Really the only people who rail against “woke” education are the ones who haven’t gone to college (my dad) or those making money and power from the grift.
I more and more believe that religion should be treated like a mental illness.
If you told people that you heard voices in your head, they’d put you on meds. If you tell them Jesus spoke to you they’ll put you in charge of a country.
