Watcher is simultaneously my worst character and the character I’ve progressed the farthest with.

Upgrade Eruption, get a Rushdown and either Inner Peace or Fear No Evil, and trim your deck down as small as possible. Then just do an infinite combo in every fight. A Scrawl, a second Rushdown, or a Runic Pyramid helps with setting up the infinite combo, and a Mental Fortress is crucial for spikers and the Heart.

That’s gotten me to A20 which is farther than I’ve gotten with any other character. But I literally don’t know how else to play her. I either get the right cards early on and win or I don’t get offered those cards and quickly lose.

I’m a fan of the Black Sabbath original but I also want to give a shout out to this incredible cover by Charles Bradley

I feel unhappy
I feel so sad
I lost the best friend
That I ever had

She was my woman
I loved her so
But it’s too late now
I’ve let her go

I’m going through changes
I’m going through changes

We shared the years
We shared each day
In love together
We found a way

But soon the world
Had its evil way
My heart was blinded
Love went astray

I’m going through changes
I’m going through changes

It took so long
To realize
And I can still hear
Her last goodbyes

Now all my days
Are filled with tears
Wish I could go back
And change these years

I’m going through changes
I’m going through changes

Counterpoint: Watch more violent movies.

If someone gets decapitated or fed through a wood chipper then you know for sure they’re dead and not unconscious.

It’s not something I’m looking for but as long as the inventory management can be streamlined enough to not be too tedious I don’t mind it.

But I’m definitely in favor of developers bringing in different influences and trying new ideas rather than just sticking to same formula all the time.

I don’t think that’s necessarily a problem. Switching to a new weapon mostly just replaces the mechanism of upgrading your weapon.

Instead of “in this area you should have a +M to +N weapon, which should deal +X to +Y damage”, you just cut out the middle man and have “in this area, the weapon drops should deal +X to +Y damage” (where X and Y obviously depend on the weapon type).

Not that it should be flat damage based, but if you can decide what the right stats for a +7 axe should be and in which areas a +7 weapon is expected, then you just drop slight variations on the +7 axe without putting “+7” in the name.

It’s been a while since I’ve played Borderlands or Nioh but from what I remember they played differently. In Borderlands, if a great shotgun dropped I might swap out an assault rifle I had that was starting to underperform. Because I didn’t have a strong affinity to a particular weapon class. In Nioh 2, I focused on kusarigama and tonfa so if a great spear dropped I wouldn’t bother equipping it because I hadn’t unlocked any skills on the spear skill tree and it wouldn’t scale with the stats I was leveling.

I found another article that says it includes more than just the messages accidentally sent to the reporter.

Boasberg, speaking from the bench, ordered the defendants in the case — Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe — “to preserve all Signal communications between March 11 and March 15.” That directive appears to sweep more broadly than simply the messages that were shared with Goldberg: It could cover other Signal messages the officials sent or received during that time.

Just watch out for the xenomorphs and predators

I also have never had any issues with game breaking bugs like that. I’ve encountered some glitches but nothing a save+reload couldn’t fix. Everything just resets to its normal spawn point.

But you learned a valuable lesson and will not keep repeating this mistake over and over again, right?

…Right?

3000 megagigafemtograms!

That’s me on my first DS1 playthrough when I didn’t understand bonfire kindling so I kept restarting at the first Anor Londo bonfire for the O&S fight so I could get 5 extra flasks only to get wrecked over and over anyway.

Right, and for pronouns you don’t just put apostrophe s after. So you don’t make “it” possessive by adding apostrophe s just like you don’t add apostrophe s to “he” or “him” to make it possessive.

If you treat the pronoun “it” like a regular (non-pronoun) noun instead of like other pronouns, that is itself an exception.

As “its” is used to indicate possession by “it”, “its” is an exception to apostrophe-s construction as used to indicate possessive forms.

Most, if not all, pronouns work that way though.

“The man’s arm” becomes “his arm” not “him’s arm”. “The woman’s arm” becomes “her arm” not “her’s arm”. Similarly, “the robot’s arm” becomes “its arm” not “it’s arm”.

I don’t really care if people use “it’s” instead of “its” , but I don’t think it’s a unique exception. The only thing that’s unique is that it is pronounced the same way as if you tacked an apostrophe and an s on the end. If we used the word “hims” instead of “his”, I’m sure people would start putting an apostrophe in there too.

Soldier of Godrick?

I see this complaint online a lot and never understood it. When I go back to DS1 the four directional rolling always bothers me and I often get hit because I try to roll diagonally and it doesn’t let me. When I play DS2, it lets me roll in eight directions and feels much better to me. What am I missing here?

Everything about that episode is incredible. It absolutely deserved the three Emmy awards it won (best writing, best lead actor, best supporting actress).

I can think of so many more “or shit, the scene where” sentences you could add to that paragraph. It’s just one incredible scene after another. So much happens in such a short time but it doesn’t feel rushed—you just feel things rapidly spiraling out of control in such a visceral way.

I should have worded that better. I meant that he’s not a huge fan of ASOIAF so it’s quite different from the WoT situation.
