    After not being able to play the games I bought because you now need a rockstar account to log in (and their whatever behind the scenes won’t let me log in, and their website quite literally just directs you around and around for hours until you get told to email the support…

    nah, rockstar can suck my left heel and tell me they love, or I’m never making a decision that will put money in their pockets again.



  • In my opinion, a true strength build uses clubs. Maaaaybe a mace if you want to be creative, but in DS3, for instance, the big wood club was the most fun. If in elden ring, go for funsies and start as a wretch to get the club, then eventually switch to the grafted greatsword (or whatever it’s called) at the weeping peninsula castle that you can get.

    As you get to ranni or radahn, just use whatever makes the most satisfying ‘WHACK!’ sound.



  • It’s probably a lot more regions than you’re aware of. A professor of mine used to love telling stories about going home during the summer, and his cousins would tell him he had to dig deep in the stew pot, because the puppy (the tender meat) was at the bottom. He would always end it by explaining they didn’t raise dogs as pets, but just the same as cows or pigs. He was native american.





  • Interestingly enough, no, not really. If you want to look it up, they call it the ‘Matthew Effect’ (from the biblical parable in matthew about the servants being given tithes by the master and using them).

    Kids who read more get more from what they read later. If you’ve read ten books and your neighbor only one, you retain more and understand more from the next book you’ve read. Unless you completely stop reading, or they suddenly start reading way more, the earlier start with your reading will give you far greater benefits. A humorous little fact is that you can predict college gpa better with the amount of books read by age five (I think, it might be by grade five, it’s been a while since I read the study) than by the SAT/ACT tests.


  • It’s a fucking poem, Linda. Chill your beans at trying to be an amateur psychologist for a man dead 300 years already.

    There was a massive crime perpetrated against high school students. Somehow, the teachers took the good idea of teaching a book and pointing out its underlying themes and historical context (that scene in great expectations where the girl plays the card game against the protagonist, as an example) to gain a greater understanding… and drove it into the ground by needlessly making everything (the infamous blue curtains) this massive deal that you absolutely had to contemplate and tear apart and put together with everything else, waaaaah!
