I don’t typically like soulsborne games but Elden Ring got me into it for a few reasons. The biggest one was I had no requirement to beat my head against the wall to continue. If you’re having trouble fighting a boss or type of enemy go somewhere else and fight through that area. Sometimes it’s just good practice to get used to the mechanics, and it’s good for leveling.

Don’t worry about losing runes and dying. Those are two very common things. Experienced players do it all the time too. My gf is obsessed with souls games and sometimes she will lose a lot of souls/runes while trying to recover them after death.

When you die it’s best to try and recover your runes if you can, and it’s okay to run past enemies, you don’t have to clear cut the whole area because when you save or die they respawn. If you need to grind out runes for a level you can always reset an area by saving at a bonfire, that’s a useful trick when you find an area you can clear out efficiently.

The wiki is helpful, the game tells you very little about what is going on or what to do next. There are also entire areas you’re very likely to miss if you don’t know about how to get to them, so exploration and when you come across something you don’t understand don’t feel stupid looking up a guide.

I built a dexterity oriented build and used Bloodhound Fang for almost the entire game and it worked out great. Unless they’ve nerfed that weapon it’s still very good for less experienced players. The game has a lot of information to learn, it’s overwhelming, but you’ll pick it up as you go.

While I may be wrong it sort of looks like Control.

I can and will terminal things, but the GUI is there so why not?

I tried pidgin and it didn't land with me. I always went back to Trillian.

Lmao that is the exact program that came to mind.

It dips when you're sick, it will dip further when half of a department is sick. It's better to protect everybody else and take a hit for a day or two than spend weeks with people passing around an illness back and forth with reduced productivity.

To think they weren't already doing that is naive. They hold a lot of liability hosting the amount of data they do, and that's without the obvious gain they'd have selling data.

I like the look of these but I would much rather to not use Android again. It appears that they're trying to port Ubuntu Touch over and the Postmarket wiki shows some functionality is not all there. Interesting to see this coming along though.

Unfortunately they won't see the consequences either because everyone will get sick and keep coming in, when the owner(s) can just dip out and take a personal day.

I am getting flashbacks of the mid-2000's IM landscape. Soon we'll be using 10 services bundled into some hackjob app that doesn't support all of the features but keeps the chats in one place.
