One thing LotR does very well: lets men show emotions that aren’t anger. Frodo smiles, shouts Gandalf’s name excitedly, cracks a joke with him, and gives him a hug. That’s how you know they’re old friends.

Strange to see Zullie outside of the FromSoft space, but also, 100% accurate point.

For Japanese specifically, I’m using Renshuu (free) and Wanikani for kanji ($9/mo) and loving both of them.

Because it turns out that conforming to what your parents and your community believe is way more influential to the average person than objective truth.

Tapir -> Rhinoceros -> Elephant

You forgot the part where millions of people still write in Donald Trump based on the widespread conspiracy that he’s still alive, and we get to figure out what happens when a state tries to elect a dead man.

Blighttown.

Approximately 0%, unless Biden has a stroke or something before the election.

Colossi fix it.

Wouldn't the opposite be Jesus's mother? In other words… Mary is the anti-Christ?!

My favorite (probably inaccurate) point about the name "Jesus Christ": the name "Christ" means "anointed one", as you said. People were generally anointed by having oil poured on their head. "Jesus" is just contemporary form of the name "Joshua". So in another life, "Jesus Christ" could literally be translated as "Oily Josh".

Remember when their account signup page said "It's free, and always will be"? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Oh good. Now they’re literally paying the karma-farming bots to spam recycled and stolen content. That will surely end well.

There’s also the matter of future developers to consider. I’m in the process of looking at game engines to learn, and Unity has decisively crossed itself off the list. Even if current studios and developers stick with Unity, startups and novices would be foolish to pick a game engine that might suddenly decide to charge them out the ass with little to no notice. Existing developers have the issue where they already have tools and experience with Unity, but newer folks don’t.

I’m ready for the impotent screeching of all the manlets who hate parts of speech.

I’m extremely surprised that the number is only 95%.

Article has been updated to state 632 people killed. Unreal.

Cultist Simulator is pretty unique… not necessarily in a good way. It’s a storytelling/puzzle game with some great writing if you can power your way through the gameplay. The mechanics are deliberately very obtuse, with no tutorial, to emulate the fact that diving into the occult is confusing and dangerous. The end result is that the game is very unique and cool, but it’s absolutely not for everyone. TL;DR on the basic mechanics: you have a handful of verb boxes, such as Talk or Research, as well as various cards that you can slot into them. Each card has a variety of tags on it. Depending on which cards with which tags you put into the various verb boxes, you get different results.

I don’t know for sure, but I think it’s just a couple missions before the end. You have a choice to either fight Cinder Carla (siding with Ayre) or to fight the corps (siding with Carla). I sided with Carla, which made Ayre the final boss, and the fight was godawful. My understanding is that there are maybe more endings with NG+, but I’m trying to muster up the will to bother even turning the game on again after how atrocious the Ayre fight was.

Honestly, Armored Core VI. Endgame spoilers below (idk if there’s a way to do spoiler tags?).

The final boss is absolutely godawful. Just utter garbage. It took me hours, and I hated it from my first attempt. It’s categorically different from anything else in the game, and there’s never a point where it’s fun. Probably 20% of my total playtime was on this one boss. I was absolutely loving the game up until then, but that one boss is so unbelievably poorly designed that it ruined the entire game for me. It’s genuinely impressively horrible.
