The backdrop of the protagonist’s revenge-murder-rampage is a conflict over territory. One faction is portrayed as morally grey at worst, and are shown to have a functioning settlement based in the Seahawk’s stadium with guns, agriculture, medicine, a cafeteria, and a gym. The other faction lives in wooden settlements, does primitive agriculture, and fights with bows and sticks. The penultimate action setpiece takes place as an invasion on the “primitive” faction’s land.
These two sides are framed as being equal and both motivated by hate and genocide. The creator has come out and explicitly said as much that it was based off his own experience with the Palestine-Israel conflict.
Does Elden Ring count?
As a follow-up to DS3 (yeah I’m not counting Sekiro in this), enemies move too quickly, boss movesets a little too erratic and the world way too open for my tastes. I’m a grown-ass person with things to do, I don’t wanna waste the two hours I have to myself each day dicking around and getting dicked-down for exploring some corner of the map, only to find loot that doesn’t apply to my build. It doesn’t respect my time.
I also don’t think I’m alone in thinking that replayability is harmed by making progression more of a slog than other Souls games. I need to grind more enemies (that are spread out, mind you) to level up my VIT stat so I don’t get 1-shot by bosses.
Build variety and boss-runs were definitely improved over other entries, I will admit. If these QoL improvements were made in a Bloodborne follow-up (peak souls imo), it might be the best Souls game made. Maybe I’ve outgrown the franchise tho; the tryhard-edgelord culture it invites is not for me.
Everyone’s laughing now but wait til a Shoot and Cry biopic is released. We’ll never hear the end of it
If family guy was ever funny, it was seasons 1-3 when it lampooned 70s and 80s pop culture, and even THAT is hard to watch since it’s got its moments of reactionary cow shit. Seriously, watch the “halloween” special on hulu. It’s almost comical how unfunny it is.

I have no qualms about Jurgen Klopp joining the Red Bulls soccer/football organization since I’m from and commercialization of sports is the fucking norm here, though Germany should maintain their fan ownership rules of teams. But the rumor mills are saying that Klopp was personally convinced by Dietrich Mateschitz, the late owner of Red Bull and the Austrian version of Fox News, to join. There are multiple reasons why Klopp would join but affiliating with reactionaries this way could be the worst one.
This is upsetting, truth be told. Klopp’s supposed “socialist leanings” were always PR but I was hoping he’d be a shitlib at worst. Can’t look at my Liverpool support during his tenure the same way.
I have to agree. It’s great seeing everyone’s hot takes about movies/tv shows but posts get very little engagement because they’re siloed off to a different community from CTH/main. The old subreddit ( ) had lots of activity on most threads. It’s definitely the biggest thing I still miss from back then
