Please don’t take Clown farmers serious:

On steam you can give awards to people, one of which is a clownface. If you receive a reward, you gain steam points which you can use to purchase profile customizations, emotes, steam startup movies and maybe more idk. So People started spamming ridiculous shit on steam to be a clown and receive those clown emotes by people taking them serious. The best move is to report them, block them and move on. They also quite often pretend to be marginalized groups to as a “bonus” make those groups look bad which kinda brings despair to me when I see people actually taking them serious and not realizing it’s all fake.

The worst part about it is that they usually pretend to be a queer person demanding queer representation in games in the most rude way possible and then people take this shit serious and take it out on actual queer people.

Gimme a cock and I’m goblin

This might be a weird one as the game is often blamed for not having difficulty settings, but Elden Ring. While it doesn’t have a straight up setting that says easy, there’s a lot of ways to make the game easier.

I really hate how Fromsoft put the “Prepare to Die” tagline onto Dark Souls when it came to PC and seems to develop into more bullshitty scenarios that kill you in unpredictable ways. Elden Ring has for example a lot of enemies that hold their attack for unintuitively long just to catch you off guard and punish you when you roll on the intuitive timing.

The community is to blame as well for the bad reputation of the games with people making fun of others using big shields and summons to beat the game. And herein lie the difficulty options of Elden Ring:

• Using greatshields makes a lot of the game a lot easier
• Using spirit ashes makes places that allow them a lot easier (as opposed to player and npc summons they don’t affect the enemies health pool)
• Using magic allows you to attack with little risk to yourself

You can also summon other players but i don’t know if that makes the game easier: As noted above it raised the enemies HP so everyone has to do their part to succeed but if you are a caster you can mostly sit back and blast enemies from afar while your summons tank. Using player summons also opens your world up for invasions and while the invader usually is in a 1v3 situation they also usually know what they are doing and how to deal with such situations.

If you’re still stuck at a boss, just go somewhere else and explore. The game is designed to teach you that lesson with the first actual boss but a lot of people take it as the game just being hard.

All of this is to say: it is okay to use the games integrated mechanics that make it easy. It doesn’t make you less of a gamer. Elden Ring has such a beautifully crafted world and if you’re looking very interesting lore and it’s a shame that seemingly all people talk about is the difficulty. It is actually the easiest Fromsoft title if you want it to be as it gives you a lot more and more powerful tools than the other games.

(Also if you see a chonky looking gal in black full body armour called Sieglinde, summon me. I have great heals, a big chonky sword and love helping people 😘)

When the sun dies it will take the earth with it iirc so if you can wait until then you’re good

Makes sense then that entire YouTube channels got big by explaining said “boring nonsense”.

Literally not, how Elden Ring multiplayer works.

1. You can’t invade solo host unless they specifically use an item for it

2. If you are coop you open yourself up for invasions and since a session has a 4 player limit you’re always either in the majority (aka ganking) or on even grounds if you decide to only summon 1 friend and let the invader live long enough for another to show up. If you invade you are pretty much always going to be in a 1v3 situation.

The 0 books category is the empty space in the right side of the graph. The graph is about the percentage of people that read at least a book and then the colours say the different amount of books. Like if from 100 people 1 person read 12 books they would still count as only 1%. Their 1% would have a different colour tho. The people reading 0 books don’t count towards the percentage of people having read a book.

Me neither but now I’m interested in Femboi-Hooters 👀

So in German we have different forms of job descriptions depending if the gender of the person. So doctor would be Arzt for a dude and Ärztin for a lass. Now when talking about a mixed gender group of doctors, the plural form of the masculine form would be generally used. This kinda leads to people always thinking about a group of male doctors. To mitigate that, there’s been multiple attempts to make more inclusive forms. For the most time listing both forms was the go to, as in Ärzte und Ärztinnen. The gender star was an attempt to combine it into Ärzt*Innen in which the star was read as a little pause. Other ways to write that pause include ÄrztInnen where you just capitalize the I and my favourite Ärzt:Innen, as the : is read as a pause by screen readers while the star is read as it’s own word by then. My actual favourite form however is gendering after Phettberg which entirely gets rid of the gender and builds a different plural: Ärztis. It also sounds cute and I’m all for more cuteness. That form sadly is used nowhere.

Been the younger sibling to an abusive 4 year older brother. Beating him up wasn’t an option as even small age differences are big regarding strength. All i could do was de-escalate, lock my room (and turn my key slightly because our rooms had the same key shape so he could just push my key out from the outside and unlock it) and hope he doesn’t still manage to get in there. I honestly have no advise for this to op :( My situation ended when my brother got drafted to the military for 2 years or so and when he was back he moved out.

Summoning animals to kill themselves does not sound like a thing a druid would do

100% agree. While i love showing off my general form some days because I’m proud of myself, it’s never just the chest and if something is visible there it’s by accident and not meant for public viewing. Sometimes it’s very hot out which might get me to put on fairly loose blouses but that’s not for show and more for me to not die of a heat stroke. So unless we’ve been dating for a bit, no, please don’t stare at my chest. If we’ve been dating however, i might do it on purpose 😋

Iirc humans already have way bigger penises than other apes

I transitioned but the lack of approval from my friends regarding the rule changes kept me from being motivated enough to write my own rulebook. We play a different rule system than DnD and my friends were like “Oh no, we like our fights uninteresting. Motivates us to seek other solutions” which is great that they’re choosing non violent solutions but sometimes fights are unavoidable.

Funny enough, some of my proposed rule changes later appeared in an extra rule book by the official authors because they also thought that fights could be more interesting. Sadly I had no hand in that but I’m glad it happened because my friends are really heavy on sticking to official rules. Sorry this kinda turned into a rant.

YouTube comments are almost always a cesspool of bad opinions so I’d rather not.

I don’t know if it’s a problem with my OS but i couldn’t select audio sources. The button was grayed out and set to “all system audio” so I didn’t use it as the quality of clips was worse than GPU Screen Recorder. I just want to watch stuff on the side while playing games without that audio getting recorded but i heard doing it through OBS has a bigger impact on performance.

Bazzite: funktioniert einfach

Hatte mal Ubuntu probiert und war nicht Fan. Bin jetzt seit ein paar Monaten mit bazzite unterwegs und musste nur ein Mal das Terminal öffnen, weil die einen Fehler mit dem Schlüssel zur Authentifizierung der OS Versionen gemacht hatten und neue Updates einen anderen Schlüssel hatten oder so. Bin echt erstaunt, wie gut alles läuft.

Windows also does not have 100% compatibility. Try playing something like age of wonders 1 on current windows. I could run in out of the box on steam deck but not on my pc that at the time had windows 10. I think Windows no longer has compatibility with win 98 and lower but i might be misremembering.

We already have consequences, yes, but they could become a lot worse if we don’t do something.
