They’re like Maltesers

Livestack

Having friends and socializing is fun, but I don’t necessarily want to do it for 5 consecutive hours. Even at a party, it’s nice to take a break and let my mind rest for a bit.

That’s pretty tame, IMO. I feel like Souls bosses like the Leechmonger or the Gaping Dragon, are originally much more grotesque than the changes made to the Vanguard demon. Even the Asylum Demon in Dark Souls is based on the Vanguard demon and seems more unsettling than that.

I feel like this guy works out at least. It’s the tutorial boss that you’re expected to die to. By the time you meet him, you’ve been playing the game for about 10 minutes, you probably haven’t really got a feel for the controls or how to fight a boss, and he shows up to scare you, and you die to him, most likely in about 5 seconds. The original stony version does the job, and so does this one IMO. You fight another one later on in the game as a slightly-stronger-than-average enemy, but by then you’re equipped to handle him, and it’s a pretty quick battle again.

I know I’m not someone who cares that strongly about the integrity of the original vision, but I feel like given the 15 years between the original and the remake, even if Fromsoft themselves had remade it, we would probably be seeing similar changes.

There was also a video a while back from one maker channel where the guy said that he got some type of nasty poisoning from breathing in fumes from ABS printing. Fortunately ABS isn’t as popular of a material as it once was, now that there are better alternatives, but I’m sure many of them still put out some nasty fumes.

There’s no return address on the envelope, so it wouldn’t be returned to anyone.

there were definitely some “enhancements” that didn’t exactly match the authorial intent of the original.

Like what? I haven’t and probably never will play the remaster, but my understanding was that it was meant to be as close to the original as possible only with nicer graphics. I read that they were even trying to match the timings of combat exactly.

It was Sony that went to Fromsoft to have a game made, essentially. It was going to be a Sony game from the start, and if they hadn’t done it, we wouldn’t have Bloodborne at all.

Some of us are into penetration

I run GrapheneOS, so I can more explicitly set permissions and scopes, but the app won’t run without all the permissions enabled, so I won’t use it.

The only thing the app can do that the website can’t is deposit checks with a picture, and considering how rarely I use checks, it’s not something I need an app for.

I agree. We have mobile web sites for just about everything. Apps should really only be for when the requirements are too complex for a website. Webapps are probably convenient alternative for most apps.

Hell, I can do my banking on the mobile site, so why do I need to install an app and share my phone’s contacts and precise location? Why does it need to access my phone’s storage and sensors and ability to make calls?

On desktop, you can paste images directly into the textbox.

That’s not a “new trend,” it’s been that way for a long time. Denuvo is a subscription model for publishers, and it doesn’t make sense to keep paying for it after the sales have already peaked.

Oh god, not again! I’ve already had like 8 Mtn Dews tonight!

It means thrift stores used to be a place to buy older, used clothes for cheap. But since thrifting has gotten very popular, thrift stores have gotten more and more expensive and are no longer a bargain destination.

Apparently they disabled that bypass recently.

I don’t know if installing Windows 10 and then upgrading can get around this though.

Home versions, which most home users have, force the use of MS accounts. They’ve patched the bypass tricks that people used before.

They’re suing because Microsoft got an exclusion from the Digital Markets Act. Google did not.

The cuzzif. Cuzzif it wasn’t there, your guts would fall out.
