The key is to know which rules to break with which customer though. That's the hard part.
Who the hell has golden cock ring kind of cash ^and do they want to be friends?^
You are a terrible human being. Stop victim blaming.
unparalleled equine realism
This is going to be the Red Dead realistic horse testicle thing all over again isn't it
Maybe I'm just jaded, but I wonder how long it will be until Sony 'changes their mind' and tries to enforce contractual obligations again. I'm going to guess 6 months to wait for the negative PR to cool.
I definitely thought this was referring to Columbia University until I read the article 😅
It's definitely not a publicity stunt. I don't know if you've ever played the game, but it is soul-crushingly grindy because leveling is the game. It's been around for almost 20 years and every year they make it more and more pay to win.
I'm not saying people aren't struggling right now, but 33% seems wildly high. I'm willing to bet that there may be a bit of a sample bias involved here considering the survey is from Debt.com.
Whoever thought you might like Elden Ring because you like Zelda is not a true friend. There's really not much similar with the gameplay loop.
You're right that the gameplay is more about learning and recognizing patterns of enemies and adjusting to them so if that doesn't appeal to you you're probably not going to like it. With that being said though, your first soulslike is always the hardest and if you stick with it they are very rewarding to play once you know what to expect.
Damn. Inflation even got to our opinions too
This is how I do it as well. In general, understanding the overall bias of each news organization is more important to keeping yourself informed. You can combat the echo chamber effect by knowing what the biases of each source is and using differing sourcing to try to get as complete a picture as you can.
I would add to your list to check BBC, Al Jazeera, and NPR if you're US focused.
Maybe stop stirring the pot? At this point it really just seems like you're the problem here with how petty and antagonistic you're being.
