How we all doing? Hope everyone's doing well. Don't worry I'm not hanging around long but I just came across this on YT and thought this place would appreciate it.: Cheerio

He's not responding to any of the comments rebuking his daft takes, obvious troll is obvious.

The desperation in those pen shouts at the end was delicious. Good win on aggregate.

I have no attachment to either side of the debate, but if it must be had then I expect all parties to faithfully consider every facet of the debate. If something opens and closes to allow or restrict passage of something then it is in essence a doorway.

I wonder if the biological world could even up the score somewhat, after all there are no functioning wheels in nature but it's replete with valves and sphincters. Food for thought...

The game never stops. I'm currently at level 115 with 144h (though tbf anywhere from 1/3rd to 1/2 of that has been spent idling, this game has so much incredible fantasy landscaping and architecture that I'm regularly leaving my guy sat in front of a stunning backdrop to give my room a bit of ambience while I get on with other things) and I feel like I'm at best halfway into the storyline and I still have at least 3 areas of the overworld to uncover judging from the dark areas of the map. I've been deliberately avoiding going into too much detail on the game in here but if I could give just one piece of advice to new players: Stockpile preserving boluses. Dear lord acquire and craft as many as you can and just sit on them. Do not use a single one on the overworld. When the time comes to use them you will know.

Il n'y a qu'une fiche qui compte et malgré votre pleinerie de tirs vous en avez manqué chaque'un, ben, sauf un qui a été facilement dédié. Je dirais que c'est plutot ca qui devrait te concerner. Bonne chance pour le retour.

Good brief opinion piece on how this game approaches open world design vs 'Ubisoft' open world design (worth seeing his previous video on it too if you've not already).

Wow that is huge if true.

At the moment you can. If the government have their way with the Police, Crime & Sentencing bill you won't be able to though and I feel like that kind of speaks for my argument.

That's my point. If we can't even take action against our lot's brand of corruption, how can you say with a straight face that our population would have stood up to Putin and his mob of cronies?

I think of all places in the world, we're probably one with the least rights to ask how a country can do nothing about deceitful heads of state. If we can't even get rid of Boris over his many inappropriate acts as an MP and subsequently PM, what chance would we have if he was a scary, murderous mob boss to boot?

This is a receivership fee, right?

Well 'nationalisation' isn't exactly a discrete policy. Are we talking essential services or a more broad application of the idea? Why is there the same amount of money available at the top of the business when one component of nationalisation should be the removal of the kind of arbitrary, over-inflated upper management pay that people associate with the evils of private enterprise and the introduction of fairer wages lower down?

This is a bit vague and presumptive for me. State ownership of what and why are the same people hanging around instead of jumping ship for the next poorly regulated gravy train?

Honestly there's no real need to farm in this game though, if an area's too challenging just go to another one and you'll naturally accumulate runes just by exploring the areas that don't immediately curb stomp you.

I don't farm as such, but if I'm about to do a boss fight and I'm only a few k from the next level cost there's a good spot to clinch those final runes in the fields between the place with the beast incantations merchant and the bridge with a dragon on it, that's probably is a good place to grind up a few levels when your level costs are still in the low tens of thousands.

It depends how you play the game. I'm doing a typical glass-cannon mage build and at level 99 my stats are currently: Vigor - 11 Mind - 32 Endurance - 11 Strength - 14 Dexterity - 18 Intelligence - 77 Faith - 6 Arcane - 9 Because I have no Vigor or Endurance, my HP and armour weight limit are both so low that even wearing my most protective gear I will get one-shot by all but a few bosses so I just run around half naked to maximise my dodge-roll effectiveness. The trade-off is that I can use all the highest-tier sorcery pickups and my attacks have in turn become incredibly strong, I've not reached full meme potential like those videos circling of people draining entire boss health bars before they've finished the spawn animation, but as long as I can avoid getting hit and find big enough gaps to perform a full casting animation then it doesn't take too long to defeat most bosses once I'm familiar with them. When I hit 80 base int I'm going to start pouring into Vig an End to make myself a bit less squishy and let me wear armour while still having good dodge rolls. But you mentioned Strength so I take it you're going for a melee build, so generally yes strength is handy but even then it depends on how you play and also in large part on the weapon(s) you want to use/have available. If you've got a weapon that scales well with strength then I'd say yeah, the best thing to do is to focus that stat for now, as well as keeping your Endurance topped up as necessary, make yourself a powerhouse, then worry about the finer details later. When you get further into the story you'll unlock the ability to reallocate all of the points you've purchased in exchange for a relatively easy to get item so you don't need to worry too much about missing out on cool gear or being unbalanced as long as you're able to stay alive and keep progressing.

I think it's fair to say they expected similar success meddling in the 2020 election as they had in 2016 and with Brexit. Putin imo underestimated just how poorly Trump was doing and just how many voters had been polarised against him, reckon he expected another 4 years at least of subservience from PUSA and this invasion was planned to happen slap bang in the middle of it when he could have relied on his man to question why Ukraine was forcing Russia to act instead of doing anything useful for humanity.

I wouldn't worry you won't be affected anyway

Anyone been through the area with the singing bat/harpy things btw? Chills.
