Does Elden Ring count?
As a follow-up to DS3 (yeah I’m not counting Sekiro in this), enemies move too quickly, boss movesets a little too erratic and the world way too open for my tastes. I’m a grown-ass person with things to do, I don’t wanna waste the two hours I have to myself each day dicking around and getting dicked-down for exploring some corner of the map, only to find loot that doesn’t apply to my build. It doesn’t respect my time.
I also don’t think I’m alone in thinking that replayability is harmed by making progression more of a slog than other Souls games. I need to grind more enemies (that are spread out, mind you) to level up my VIT stat so I don’t get 1-shot by bosses.
Build variety and boss-runs were definitely improved over other entries, I will admit. If these QoL improvements were made in a Bloodborne follow-up (peak souls imo), it might be the best Souls game made. Maybe I’ve outgrown the franchise tho; the tryhard-edgelord culture it invites is not for me.
Everyone’s laughing now but wait til a Shoot and Cry biopic is released. We’ll never hear the end of it
If family guy was ever funny, it was seasons 1-3 when it lampooned 70s and 80s pop culture, and even THAT is hard to watch since it’s got its moments of reactionary cow shit. Seriously, watch the “halloween” special on hulu. It’s almost comical how unfunny it is.

I’ll provide a heat source, power, and refrigeration
I have to agree. It’s great seeing everyone’s hot takes about movies/tv shows but posts get very little engagement because they’re siloed off to a different community from CTH/main. The old subreddit ( ) had lots of activity on most threads. It’s definitely the biggest thing I still miss from back then
Instead of sending the Cum Extraction Unit, why don’t all IOF fighters just beat off in the barracks before going out? They can even make a game out of it idk
I've tried to get into other 4X's like Europa, Stellaris CK but the learning curve is pretty high admittedly! I'll give Europa another shot someday.
I actually welcome how each Civ tries to do something different, but the districts in 6 are such a huge addition that I'm a little sad they won't return in 7 in the same fashion. Nothing lights up my monkey brain like finding a +6 Campus/IZ/Harbor tile
If there's one thing I worry for 7, it's that the fanbase for 5 is very vocal online. I enjoyed 5 for what it was at its time but going back now it seems TOO simple with the streamlined culture tree and the overemphasis on building Tall. It's a 4X game, turtling at 4 cities is no fun!! The less influence the better.
I started with Civ Rev I for the PS3, I appreciate the goofy art style in 6 haha.
I’m just glad to get another Civ game this decade. I just hope it’s as good as Civ 6
Ah but you didn’t mention the ads. The ads fucking load in the comment sections now, in between comments, not just at the top.
Obviously reddit was always shit but each update is engineered to become even more hostile to its userbase. Don’t even get me started on botting.
I feel comfortable letting my bosses know when I can take on a little more as I now trust them with not overloading my plate. But I also feel the anxiety that I should be hauling ass the entire workday like I did back at major warehouse retail.
When you’ve gone above your pain tolerance for docking in orbit and refuse to use MechJeb.
Maybe someday I’ll expand past Minmus…
Watching the Bills-Dolphins game rn and the Miami QB suffers a concussion right on the field. Something like his 4th in two years? I feel immense guilt watching this shit, poor guy's brain is jello at this point
Gotta curate your feed bc like YouRube, the algorithm will shit out the most inane things for you unless otherwise.
These people want to go back to 2012 Tumblr and nothing fills the void
I want Maduro to give Musk the Oberyn Martell treatment
That’ll be $19.17 at the next window, thank you
Stupid country
He can only make Nacho Libre once, unforgivable
Water/Fighting or Water/Electric. Idk I’ve always liked Water, it tastes good
r/worldnews is astroturfed to hell and back, this doesn’t surprise me. Every user is a bloodthirsty Zionist. (I was actually banned, and I commented exactly once). r/news has a better stance on the conflict at the very least, as far as libs go.
Recently transferred to a new group from my old one that I’ve been at for 2 years. At my old one, I wasn’t paid particularly well, but I knew every aspect of my job, management liked me and I got along with all my coworkers. I had a nice routine going. I could be on my phone half the day and still be able to carry out all my job duties. Everything was great.
Of course, everybody within <organization> always speaks highly of this other group. “They pay x% better!” “They hardly do any work!” Etc. This mantra is beat into our head the day we’re hired. So when the opportunity comes up to join this group, I knew it would be irresponsible to turn it down.
I made my bittersweet goodbyes and left my old group. I wouldn’t have left this group otherwise; every aspect besides the pay was practically perfect for me.
But I still feel like I made a mistake. I’ve only been at this new group for a week but it’s just a huge disconnect. Everyone here is ready to bust your chops over any mistake. The work culture is absolutely more corporate. I worked with <PMC position>’s in my previous job but they were all down to earth and friendly; their job is more aligned with blue-collar work compared to my current group. The PMC’s I work for now are Ivy-league, top 10 <PMC> university alumni. I can’t relate to these folks with their rich people hobbies. These are literally the labor aristocracy, the top 5% at least.
I know I’m lucky to even be in this position but I can’t help but detest it. I made this jump because it pays extremely well but I can’t retire here. I would’ve eventually made a sustainable wage at my previous group, over a much longer period of time, but even then it couldn’t match my current wage. After my degree, I would much rather take a pay-cut and work for my previous group as <PMC position>…
I just needed to get this off my chest. I don’t expect users here to have much sympathy for me, as I know plenty here struggle with surviving the day. For the pay, I should suck it up, even if its a toxic work environment. But I miss my old desk and coworkers.
