If anyone hits a wall at about the midpoint of the game, I found a really good place to grind. Right after you get Monocco, there is an area you can go to called Frozen Hearts. If you immediately go and start to explore, you’ll soon realize this is a late game area that you are massively under leveled for.

HOWEVER, the first enemy you see is a Danseuses, and if you start the battle you’ll fight 3 of them. It will take a little bit, but they only have like 3 different attack patterns, after a few tries you should be able to learn them and parry/dodge them consistently. Once you have that down, you’ll be able to beat them without getting hit and they give a MASSIVE amount of exp. Then just head over to the nearby flag, heal up, and do it again. I stayed there for about hour fighting them repeatedly and bumped everyone up by like 10 levels.

The tricky part is memorizing their attack patterns consistently, I died a lot until I got it down. But the flag is really close by, so you can just keep throwing yourself at them until you do. Don’t bother trying to fight any of the other battles in this area, all the other ones have enemies that will outheal any damage you can do.

Stop using slop for non-ai things.

Man, I am trying; really, really, trying to force my brain to see them that way and it just refuses to. Those are way too wide to be a nose and the “mouths” are way too low and weirdly off center. I can only see frowny faces.

I never see it discussed, but in Pokemon 4Ever; Ash and Pikachu swim in the Lake of Life, which is essentially a fountain of youth. Misty dips her legs in, and Team Rocket falls in at one point. Brock was also there, but we never see him go in.

While this isn’t established as an official explanation, I choose to believe that’s why none of them ever age.

If you want to know more about the ARG elements and the full story of the game, check out this video which does a deep dive into it. There were some VERY buried secrets in this game, and the full story is absolutely insane.

Anonymity online is going to die

At least that means sites won’t have the illusion of engagement when it’s actually just a flood of bots talking to each other, right?

…Right?

To play devil’s advocate, an issue arises when there AREN’T more verifiable sources. If someone makes an outlandish claim like “Billy Joel used to wash his ass with crisco” and cites a dubious interview, it’s hard to find a source that definitively states Billy Joel DIDN’T wash his ass with crisco. Even worse, is if there was an actual, verified instance of one time where Billy Joel washed his ass with crisco. That may have been the only time he ever did it, and it may have been done as a joke or something like that, but now we have an interview saying he did it regularly, and an example of when he did. Now it’s a lot harder to disprove.

I feel gross defending Republican talking points, now I need to go take a shower. Maybe wash my ass with crisco.

Gosling seems to be becoming a go-to actor for Space/Sci-Fi movies. It’s hard to describe, but he always seems very comfortable in his roles and never feels out of place; like, he’s still an actor, but somehow seems like an actor from whatever time/world he’s acting in. Like, he’ll look at a spaceship in a movie the same way an actor in a modern film would look at a car. I don’t know, like I said it’s hard to describe. Hope his next few films are good, I would love to see him in more sci-fi stuff! (Maybe a new star trek captain in a decade or so?)

First time I’m hearing about the return of Digg, I’ll probably keep an eye on it

I mean, you can just use a debit card, but I see your point.

Straight into the garbage.

Look up the group Indecline and see if they have any suggestions for civil disobedience around you.

There were no Bothans in Rogue One. They had nothing to do with stealing the original Death Star plans. They were the ones responsible for bringing Intel about the Death Star 2 in RoTJ. Get your facts right.

The news industry would collapse overnight as their entire customer base suddenly realizes “Hey! This is all just alarmist BS and straight up lies! Look at this, the headline isn’t even CLOSE to depicting the reality of the situation. You’d have to be a complete fucking idiot to fall for this crap!”

What lawsuit? What are you talking about?

That’s fucked up, what a stupid amount of hoops to jump through from something so small.

Could you describe the process? What, exactly, made it “hell”?

I like that we’re back to calling these kinds of things “Expansions” and not DLC.

I will still heavily judge anyone who decided the best, moral action was to not vote.

You can go shove your morals up your ass. You are not some wise guru who has seen the flaws of the system and have risen above it; you are a stupid dipshit whose inaction has made things worse and are too cowardly to admit you may have been just the teeny-tinyest bit completely fucking ignorant on the way the real world works.

It was fake. Obvious from how the texts were structured. It was also from a brand new account.

I thought Lemmy would be better than reddit for spotting clearly fake shit, but pretty much everyone in the comments bought it hook, line, and sinker.
