  • I think I’m in agreement regarding Elden Ring 2. From Soft makes incredible games, but I think overall I enjoyed the souls, sekiro, and armored core more. It feels like games with levels allows them to reward exploration without the feeling of recycled content or incredible amounts of effort to make a huge map feel unique. Not to mention NPC quests you might completely miss because you did some part of the game in the wrong order. Glad to have experienced ER, but I’m looking forward to a non-open world next title


  • Enjoyed it for the most part, but I didn’t like how exploration was handled. So many places to go that had absolutely nothing. Fully exploring the finger ruins or frenzy woods felt very bad for how much area there was to cover vs amount of rewards for exploring.

    Idk how they would fix this though as then they’d either have to make even more unique dungeons to avoid the copy paste complaint of the base game or litter about even more crafting items.

    Fuck furnace golems as well












  • With the establishment of a relationship of oppression, violence has already begun. Never in history has violence been initiated by the oppressed. How could they be the initiators, if they themselves are the result of violence? How could they be the sponsors of something objective whose objective inauguration called forth their existence as oppressed? There would be no oppressed had there been no prior of violence to establish their subjugation.

    And it is clear that in the colonial countries the peasants alone are revolutionary, for they have nothing to lose and everything to gain. The starving peasant, outside the class system is the first among the exploited to discover that only violence pays. For him there is no compromise, no possible coming to terms; colonization and decolonization a simply a question of relative strength.

    Get this into your head: if violence were only a thing of the future, if exploitation and oppression never existed on earth, perhaps displays of nonviolence might relieve the conflict. But if the entire regime, even your nonviolent thoughts, is governed by a thousand-year old oppression, your passiveness serves no other purpose but to put you on the side of the oppressors.
