I was in a similar position. I've at least tried almost all of the games since Demon's Souls on PS3 (plus a few other Soulslikes like Surge 2 & Last Remnant [edit: Last Remnant is something else entirely, i dunno. It was something like that]) and I could never get into them. Elden Ring especially is exactly the kind of world I love in games and I wanted so much to enioy it. It took a handful of 10-15-hour attempts over nearly two years before it finally clicked with me and I started really getting into it back in December. I got the platinum last week and then started Sekiro for the first time a few days ago, so let's see how that goes.

My advice, if you can't get into it give it a few months then take another honest crack at it. If you don't enjoy yourself that's fine, just try again next time you start thinking about the game, but if that switch finally flicks on you can clear your schedule for the next fortnight.

He's whitewashing Jones, they've worked together a lot. There's a podcast called Knowledge Fight that goes into detail on the Alex Jones Show and examines exactly how and why he's lying about things, they have a thousand multi-hour episodes and still can't cover everything he does because he puts out so much crap. They went back through the months following Sandy Hook episode by episode to look at how Alex's narrative changed over time.

Greenwald has popped up on the show a lot. I don't remember the specific interview you're talking about but I am sure I know exactly how it went. That whole documentary was bullshit, it just presents everything Alex says as fact and doesn't examine any of it. Every appearance Jones has made anywhere recently has been him spouting the same points to defend himself and nobody ever pushes back because he's not going to work with someone who actually wants the truth. It'll be just like when he was let back on Twitter and was in a live conversation with Musk, who just allowed him to lie to his face when previously he had refused to let him back on the platform over this stuff, because controversy and attention is how these people make money.

Greenwald may be right here because he seems to give a shit about this topic, and he may even have been a decent journalist once, but I can't trust anything he says or does ever again.

I've had several people comment on the way I tie my shoelaces. I can't even remember how to do it the "normal" way, but I use that knot that takes about half a second where you make both loops at once and pull them through each other.

My Elden Ring is crossed with Most Extreme Elimination Challenge. I'd never get tired of touching bloodstains.

On the Connect app on mobile I get

Private mode detected! In order to read our site, please exit private/incognito mode or login to continue.

I could copy it into Firefox easily enough, but if they don't want me looking at their site then I won't 🤷‍♀️

Jesus, adblock detectors are one thing, but news sites are even blocking private mode now. People not reading past headlines is enough of a problem already without it being enforced.

Stuff+ generally always has a Prison Architect and one other game series going, then does one-shot videos of random indie stuff in between. He's also not loud and annoying the way youtube gamers tend to be and doesn't have a webcam feed covering a quarter of the screen, it's just about the games.

I don't know anything about the development, I just use it 🤷‍♀️ I imagine they probably have their own community you could ask. I'm still just scrolling though all with a good 1200+ communities blocked and every US politician's name I could think of added to the title filters.

I switched to Connect months ago solely for the ability to manually hide posts.

Same. Until these things are physically in my hand I've got plenty of other stuff to get on with, what's the point of wasting years chasing them. It's the same with any marketing really, give me a title, pitch & release date, I'll see you then.

How did you get that? Did we read the same article?

It depends on the type of game I guess. I like the way Final Fantasy 13 did it when you arrived on Gran Pulse. Everything was there from the start of the chapter, there were some enemies you could handle, some that were a challenge, some that were out of your weight class and some that would wipe your team without even noticing you were there. You had to pick your battles and know when to bail. Despite the problems that game had, you could at least feel yourself getting stronger while the world stayed roughly the same.

How about nothing gets pre-installed and we can install what we actually want?

I made the mistake of getting a "smart" TV as a computer monitor because it was the only 4k display I could get my hands on. I connected it to the internet and it immediately installed 12 different streaming apps, some of which I'd never heard of, then stuck the PC display right at the end of the list. You couldn't just turn it on to the PC channel, it goes to the main menu and you'd have to scroll all the way across to the end which was off-screen every time. Instant factory reset.

Even now when I turn it on it has to go to the main menu first, then I have to select the PC, then it has a big popup about how the TV is in gaming mode because keeping that shit on is the only way it'll run at 4k above 60Hz.

I'm struggling to think of any situation in which invisibility would benefit me personally. Teleportation would save me over an hour a day of driving to/from work alone, plus hours at work itself, fuel & vehicle maintenance costs just about disappear, world travel becomes something possible to do any time of any day on a whim, you could do anything.

Plans to announce an upcoming game? How uh... exciting. Give us a buzz when it's available.

Right. More often than not when these posts pop up you can check their comment history and see exactly why they keep getting banned.

Well, at least Abbott's gone and, let's see... has just been nominated for a position at Fox Corporation's board of directors by the new Murdoch who appears to want to be worse than the old one. Oh boy.

There was, just replace the "one" with "two" in the url and it's there.
