  They list nearly the last 80 episodes to be filler. I haven’t watched past the first two arcs in Naruto but do those last 80 episodes not contribute to any story or arc at all?

  I don’t think it’s necessary to compare yourself to others here. The consumption goal should just be to consume less and every effort makes a difference. If you eat red meat every day, then try every other day. If you already do that, try once a week. If you feel you can consume even less then have it as a rare treat or just cut it out entirely.

  Thank goodness you called video games out as being a luxury so everyone doesn’t notice you have no real argument for why it’s OK for DRM to exist. You almost looked really silly.

  I went to Universal around last Christmas and they had an awesome drone show. I had never seen anything like it and didn’t even know it was a thing. 100% better than a fireworks display.

  That’s strange. Where I live, Doordash and all the other delivery services list higher menu prices than what you’ll see at whichever restaurant you go to. If a menu item is normally $15, Doordash will list it as $18. This is before they even add the service fees.

  I have to imagine once it ages a bit more they’ll bring the regular price down. But as many fans say, it’s really a fair price for what the game is.

  Its in a hospital and as far as I am aware there’s no cameras in the break room.

  My job has the opposite problem. We have four refrigerators full of food that no one wants to eat. People bring in homemade meals in glass containers that end up rotting and growing mold. Every so often someone gets the courage to clean all the refrigerators out, but it doesn’t take long before they turn back into giant trash cans again.

  There are a lot of other reasons to pirate content besides disagreeing with pricing. I get that the price point of this game is the subject here but I doubt 99% of pirates are at a disagreement over pricing.

  It seems like every other poster here confusing your use of the word “production” and simply stating that “product” is an acceptable word to use lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elden Ring's player engagement is through the roof: 45% of its Steam players have played for 100+ hours⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  When i first started playing Dark Souls i always equipped my characters with shields. I played all 3 games several times through with shields. One playthrough I decided to challenge myself and not use shields, only relying on dodging attacks. Doing so also opened up my offhand for using a staff or talisman (the equivalent of seals in Elden Ring). I have never used a shield in any Dark Souls game or Elden Ring since.

  Dark Souls 2 introduced a feature called power stance. I wont go into go into great detail about it here, but tnere are many guides online that explain how it works. The short version is that it allows you to dual wield weapons from of the same category. You equip them in each hand, level up your character with the correct stats, then you open character up to unique move sets and really high damage.

  Power stance wasn’t included in Dark Souls 3, but it was reintroduced in Elden Ring and is very fun to use. Some of my favorite weapons to power stance with are: daggers, twinblades, reapers, rapiers, and even heavy rapiers. I wouldn’t say power stancing is the equivalent to playing on easy mode. The movesets are unique and take some practice to use effectively. There are also some cons, like not having a shield or magic casting weapon in either hand. There is no way to do a jumping heavy attack using both weapons. Also stamina depletes much quicker. One of the greatest pros though, is that each weapon can be equipped with different status effects like bleed/poison or holy/frost.

  If you look up or are suggested specific builds, be open to tweaking them to your liking. Higher numbers for damage output are obviously good, but are only so useful if the weapon you are using is right for you. Keep trying different weapon types until something sticks. Also, level up several different weapon types because different enemies have different resistances and weaknesses. Slashing weapons aren’t as effective against rock enemies as hammers are. Sometimes these resistances aren’t obvious so dont be afraid to use online wikis to look up some info.

  Lastly, dont neglect summon pools! Some people will try to convince you that summon pools are for noobs, and it only counts as a win if you solo a boss. That’s not true in the slightest. Every item/feature in the game was added with the intention that players will use them. Same goes for spirit ashes. Each spirit ash is very different from the next. Some will follow you around, some will sit in one spot, some regenerate health, some inflict status effects on enemies, etc. If you or anyone else is on PC feel free to shoot me a DM and we can set up a coop session!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fortnite returns to iPhone app store in US, ending exile imposed by Apple⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Android users do not need an app store to install apps onto their devices. Apple not only requires it, but only offers their own storefront and if i remember correctly, they take about 30% of all sales. Companies used to get around that by redirecting customers to a website that doesn’t use the app store to make purchases. Apple then banned those apps from their store making them no longer available to iPhone users. This has nothing to do with allowing people to install incompatible applications on apple devices.

  It is only in the form of crypto with your name attached to it. Trump, Elon, and all the rest constantly hype it up on social media and make bank on it. Everyone in the world associates you with being another maga grifter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's play this game again⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone who interacts with you immediately forgets who you are or why they are doing what you convince them to do as soon as they stop seeing and hearing you. They will continue to do as you instructed them, but they won’t know why. Once it’s done, they will continue life as though they’ve never met you unless you introduce yourself again.
