Accessibility is an extremely important topic and Elden Ring could absolutely be better in that aspect.

Difficulty, however, is unrelated to accessibility. Disabled people should be able to play difficult games -- that's what accessibility is about, letting people with disabilities experience the same content as everyone.

I'm extrapolating so I might be wrong, but what I get from this is that they boosted the benefits of the first scadu fragments but nerfed the benefits of the later ones, which is just changing the scaling but ultimately results in the same difficulty

Damn that must have been traumatic. I hope all goes well for him

No. The Souls community is built over the shared experience of beating the challenging game we were put against. If difficulty was optional, the game wouldn't be nearly as popular, as there wouldn't be that common experience.

Maybe another shared experience would have allowed the game to garner a community, but then it wouldn't be a soulslike, and soulslike as a concept would not exist. If that's something that interests you, you can just play a game which isn't a soulslike.

It reminds me of some Redditor who said they always instantly killed every single named companion in BG3 because they found the dialogues of said companions annoying. I have played BG3 for hundred of hours, but I don't even think I played the same game as this person, and I think that if it was something a lot of people did, then there wouldn't be a community around the game at all.

Like for BG3, where the central point is the story and the evolution of your companion as characters, Elden Ring's has that defining element which caused the community to sprout, which is its fair but strict gameplay. If you remove that then all you get is one of those forgettable Ubisoft games, all the while completely destroying the community around soulslikes.

Accessibility tho

Actually the EU only forced them to adopt USB C. Only their 'Pro' model actually has USB 3. Imagine having to pay a premium for the luxury of a 15 year old technology

That's the second time a lawyer has made this mistake, though the previous case wasn't at such a high level

No actually they have a more open stance if the stream is properly labeled and just won't promote those labels on their front page

Fuck Bobby kotick

Social democracy is a system that is completely different from democratic socialism. SocDems are capitalists, DemSocs are absolutely not.

I don't think any award in any field is supposed to be "original". No game released the last ~5 years comes anywhere close to what Larian achieved. Why would anyone comment negatively on them getting an award for that?

Fuck anyone portraying israel as a victim.

Not gonna happen, the mods are the intellectual properties of private developers.

What if they bundled some mods for the switch and those mods contained stolen code? That would be SV's responsibility, for no gain at all.

If you want mods, just get a steam deck; games are cheaper and run better. And it's still an easy to use device that is handheld

It's not really about giving a shit, but when you're used to no ads, then seeing ads is an inconvenience. And that's usually even more potent than people giving a shit or not

I love how every photo of this thing is right in front of the subject. Just tilt their head 30° and it will look like comical googly eyes

Why not just make a tunnel and forget the vacuum? It's just a subway system, but it's efficient

Edit: France & England might have dug a tunnel but Paris and London just have a subway. And train to move around the country.

Edit2: fixed wording

Stop equating israelis to Jews

No, you can't prove that something never happens or that something doesn't exist. You can sometimes prove something that contradicts the existence of something, but that's not proving that the thing itself doesn't exist, because it's epistemologically not possible

You can't reach lichdom through legal means

Can you link a sourced study about whether it's a thing in modern day France?

Yeah the nypost is absolute trash, it should be banned from the community IMO

Raises alarm

I've lived my whole life hearing those alarms getting raised, when will the west stop funding this genocide and intervene?

... more like someone who already moved away from the US after prior episodes of shitty politics, and was vindicated when Trump was elected

  1. The attackers used IPs situated in their victims regions to log in, across months, bypassing rate limiting or region locks / warnings

  2. I don't know if they did but it would seem trivial to just use the tokens in-situ once they managed to login instead of saving and reusing said tokens. Also those tokens are the end user client tokens, IP locking them would make people with dynamic IPs or logged in 5G throw a fuss after the 5th login in half an hour of subway

  3. Yeah 2FA should be a default everywhere but people just throw a fuss at the slightest inconvenience. We very much need 2FA to become the norm so it's not seen as such

  • 92% positive reviews on Steam out of 588K reviews (94% from recent reviews)
  • 94% on OpenCritic
  • 96% on MetaCritic
  • 4.74★ on playstation (so ~95%)

But sure, if you look for them, you'll find people complaining on forums. You'll find people saying the earth is flat too 🤷

For the downvoters, just a reminder that US Georgia is twice as big and has three times the people.

Georgia has called itself that for five times as long, cope.

How is a Nazi a "step in the right direction"? There is a lot of opposition to Putin that's worth supporting, Nazism isn't one of them

There are LGBTQ people in Palestine, do you think Israel's bombs don't kill them too?

It was illegal to be gay in my western country in the early 90s. Your opinion is wrong and sucks ass

No

Stop playing into Israel's game of equating Jews to Israelis.

Steam and arrowhead both allowed the sale of the game in non-compatible markets.

No. Sony handles the publishing on Steam. Sony set the countries allowed for sale -- neither Steam, which is only the platform, nor arrowhead, who did not publish the game, have any responsibility in the matter. You're taking away blame from Sony which is the single culprit for that mistake

Well it is somewhat about race as that means more poor people are black and more non-poor people are not black. But yeah it's stupid to make each and every observation of how black people are more affected by X when that X thing is already linked to poverty, instead of focusing on the core issue
