Agreed.

How I did it may not be the best. But damn, did I feel accomplished afterwards.

I went into DS1 without any background. I only looked up things when I was 100 % stuck (I played with the broken short sword for far too long). I definitely used some summons (mainly the NPC ones), but you could also choose not to.

Beating O&S the first time after a week or so of trying was one of the best feelings ever (don’t want to spoil anything hence the vagueness).

Elden Ring is definitely more beginner-friendly, but the sheer mechanics you can learn in DS1 will help in all soulsbourne games (maybe not Sekiro).

I have not played Demon souls, so maybe that’s a better jumping off point?

You’re forgetting star trek discussions and memes.

Graphite (even just shaded on from a pencil) works quite well for wood. I prefer the stuff you can get in a powder.

Probably. The water inside has those nano-plastics you hear about though.

Fooled again, it’s Chuck Testa.

Not necessarily agreeing with the article posted, but for all the people who clearly didn’t read the article:

That’s just one paper I found searching for far-UV. Seems to be many more.

Again not saying it’s 100 % safe or anything, but it looks promising.

The new FIFA.

I did enjoy The call of Cthulhu though. Not really scary, but I’m a Lovecraft fan (minus the racism/Xenophobia).

That’s like $13 up here in Canada. But I’d assume they have the same sandwiches here. But wow, that’s outrageous.

I haven’t looked too hard. Hope not.

I haven’t tried today, but I hope it’s alright.

I like New pipe. Hopefully doesn’t affect it.
