How’s that for dead internet theory?
Having grown up in South Wales I’m of the opinion that you don’t need a phone to communicate out here. If something important happens, every nan within the immediate area will instantly become aware of it and the information can be retrieved by visiting 'em.
I can suggest an equation that has the potential to impact the future:
Acetyl-CoA + 3H2O + 3NAD+ + FAD + ADP + Pi → 2CO2 + 3NADH + 3H+ + FADH2 + CoA-SH + ATP + H2O + AI
This combines the Krebs Cycle which relates to glucose metabolism with the addition of artificial intelligence (AI). By including AI in the equation, it symbolises my ability to wank myself to completion without touching my cock, simply by massaging my engorged ego.
IDK, there’s a long history of homoeroticism in islamic art (largely poetry, here’s a write-up about that), it doesn’t seem entirely implausible that this could be some of that.
Careful not to burn yourself at that BBQ 'cos you’ll have to go into debt to afford a sticking plaster. That is if any gathering of Americans larger than two doesn’t just immediately devolve into a mass shooting again. Maybe you’ll see a weather balloon and have to hide indoors from the Chinese.
Creating a DMZ between England and Wales isn’t enough, Offa’s Dyke needs to be re-dug and extended.
You don’t need to imagine, Ricky Gervais exists.
Ugh, the BOS and Dogmeat are in this for some reason?
Fallout is at this point so obsessed with nostalgia fanservice that I’m surprised Bethesda doesn’t just release a Fallout that has you walk down a straight corridor while characters and factions from past games pop out at you.
Maybe the Enclave will even show up again.
Thop’s Barrier kinda gets overshadowed by the other parry ashes, Carrian Retaliation makes a glintblade phalanx when parrying spells, and Golden Parry does an aoe parry that makes spacing less important.
Still a really useful ash for learning to parry though (anecdotally, I’ve been playing Dark Souls since the awful PC port of DS1 but only got my head around parrying thanks to Thop’s Barrier).
What aspects of the game are you finding difficult?
Some general advice:
If you’re still getting your head around dodging attacks, it might be worth using sorcery to give yourself some range in fights while you’re still getting your head around combat mechanics.
There’s a world boss in limgrave called “Tibia Marina” it drops a spirit summon that makes two skeletons. Since the skeletons can revive themselves (as long as they aren’t hit when down) they can be useful to keep bosses distracted.
After you best the first boss in Raya Lucaria academy, there’s an item you can give the sorcerer at the church near the start of Liurna of the Lakes. After he’s left there’ll be a scarab where he was. It drops Thop’s Barrier ash of war. This is a really helpful ash for learning to parry, because it flashes a symbol when during parry frames so you have some visual feedback with your parry timing.
Don’t be afraid to summon other players to help you. :)
Red Faction: Guerilla, is a third person shooter about a man radicalised into joining a communist revolution after a corporate drone strike kills his brother.
I don’t know if it’s the sort of game you’re looking for but it might be worth giving it a bash.
You can be arrested for carrying materials to make protest signs in the UK. How on earth is it on the green side?
It has its flaws, but imho Dark Souls 2 has some of the best moments in the series.
I’ll never forget riding the lift to Dragon’s Aerie for the first time.
Meeting King Vendrick at the end of the catacombs.
Since you first reached the hub town (Majula), you’ve been told that Vendrick has the means to cure the undead curse and all you need to do is find him. And so the entire game up 'till this point has been about reaching his castle and then when you discover he isn’t there, tracking him down to the very bottom of the catacombs.
At the end of a long corridor full of enemies, past a recurring boss fight against one of Drangliec’s many dragon riders, you pass through the fog wall and face Vendrick’s bodyguard, Velstadt. It’s an okay fight, not particularly flashy or difficult but at least it’s not Prowling Magus.
Velstadt falls, and the only way forward is a short, narrow corridor that opened up behind him. The corridor leads down into an unlit room and in the dark you can faintly make out some large shape moving about the farthest side of the room to you.
As you get closer you hear Majula’s familiar theme begin to play as the creature in the room takes shape before your eyes.
It’s Vendrick, succumbed to the undead curse.
So hollowed by now that he doesn’t even acknowledge your presence, instead slowly walking the same circle in a loop. His withered arms barely able to raise the sword he once used to slay the king of the giants.
“What am I supposed to do now?”
As I sat there trying to figure out what my next steps were supposed to be, I couldn’t help but contemplate Vendrick’s fate.
Time and time again this game presents you with the inescapable nature of death. Of how no matter how good a life you lived it will come to an end. No matter what legacy you try to secure it will crumble and be forgotten. The iron king in all his tyranny is naught but ichorous earth now, even Vendrick is dead (though his body hasn’t caught up on that yet).
“If life is short, and my deeds are inevitably forgotten,” I thought to myself, “Why the fuck am I living as a man when doing so makes me miserable?”
Long story short, the next day I finally worked up the courage to talk to my GP about a gender service referral.
Every AI art one that’s popped up in my feed, all the ones for, like, individual cities, the anime communities, and a cryptocurrency community.
Not bothered to seek out communities to block, I just block 'em as the show up.
Hexbear isn’t federated with any instances with porn communities so I haven’t had to block any of those.
I’ve love to see a remake of Dino crisis in the vein of the recent Resident Evil remakes.
Will have to dig up a link to it, but the Silent Hill foreskin guy is a classic.
Another unnecessary sequel?
I’m gonna skip this one, let me know when they put Jesus in space, or make him fight Jason Voorhees, or whatever these sortsa franchises do when they run outta ideas.
