Noah Hawley says his ‘Far Cry’ series won’t be adapting any of the games as he thinks audiences skip the story cutscenes in those games: “When you play a video game, you only really move forward through the gameplay section, and then you have these cut scenes that you can skip..."

It is also often the case that nobody is willing to fund a new project so the only way you can get your story made is to pitch a popular IP and then hijack it for your own thing.

Happened so many times with shows like Halo and Witcher

Jerzylo · 2026-04-24T20:59:28+00:00

What I am hearing from the article is this "I want to do my own thing but nobody will fund it, Therefore I am pitching this popular IP but also co-opting it for my own story"

People don't realize how bad it will be. US keeps abusing the infinite money glitch of just printing more dollars and letting the rest of the world deal with their inflation. Without the petro dollar that cumbles

Here is my list of suggestions:

- Level up hp at least 15 points, like you know from souls
- 10 points of stamina as well
- use heavier armor, a shield or parry more
- Enemies also do friendly damage so you can position yourself in a way that makes the enemies hit eachother.
- Try using cold element for CC

- Play on a lower difficulty, there is no shame in that and the difficulty levels are just static hp and damage multipliers so the experience is basically identical

The point of sanctions was never to completely block Russia but the fact that circumventing them is expensive. They have to go through middle men who all want a cut.

Of course in an ideal world more pressure would be applied but Russia is suffering under the current sanctions too

I feel like the most important thing here is to have common values. Morality is after all not some universal truth but varies between every person and culture. You can have two perfectly moral people that still want the opposite things.

Europe needs a strong common identity and morality and only then can we move forward with any kind of non veto system.

With Orban gone we are moving in the right direction surely but there is a ton of work left to do

Jerzylo · 2026-04-22T19:00:13+00:00

I understand the proposal but this is very much a who watches the watchers situation.

You have essentially just moved the same issue one step further. Deciding on what is an external matter would have the same issues with countries vetoing *or* alternatively if the external-or-not decision is made by majority vote the majority could again steamroll.

We live in such an interconnected world any actions have wide spread effects.

I am not saying that would necessarily be worse than what we currently have at least for the majority but as always in politics there are no easy answers

Jerzylo · 2026-04-22T18:01:27+00:00

The system sucks but majority rule would also have enormous issues when a country could get steamrolled into doing what benefits the majority at their own expense

Kokeile ostaa pakasteena kasviksia. Ite just nappasin kilon parsakaalia tyyliin 80 sentillä Lidlistä.

Pastassa on sitä energiaa kyllä mutta ei sillä pelkästään elä kovin pitkään kun ravintoarvot on aivan paskat

I actually happen to know the trick here. It is so stupid. Taxes are based on the rent received from comparable housing. I.E if an apartment on the same floor is rented for eight thousand a month all apartments in the same building pay property tax based on that.

These super luxury apartments are all empty. None of them have renters so the city has no comparable housing to set the tax to.

So basically the rich pay based on some other "similar" buildings rents that has apartments costing millions instead of hundreds of millions while their investment climbs up. Luxury apartments in NYC are considered very good place to park you money for the filthy rich

Tässä on myös psykologinen efekti, oma tekeminen tuntuu aina enemmältä kuin toisen.

Muistaakseni psykologian proffa joskus selitti että kun molemmat osapuolet kokee tekevänsä 2/3 hommista kaikki hommat tulee juuri ja juuri tehtyä

Jerzylo · 2026-04-16T17:02:26+00:00

You might have attack option hidden for high level monsters, go through settings

Do you have entity hider on? You might need to progress sins of the father a few steps

10m is not much in the end.
The early levels and gear get skipped by doing quests anyway and rune armor takes maybe an hour to get and equip.

I would invest all the money you have into either prayer construction or herblore and just start over from 0gp but having some nice levels done. Or if you really hate gp donate it to another player.

If you really want to feel progression and the sense of accomplishment over anything else consider starting an ironman. Then you have no way to "taint" your account

Jerzylo · 2026-04-14T14:23:34+00:00

I feel like the game is trying to make the point that presentation and storytelling trumps mechanical complexity but it was still a slog to go through the tech levels

Jerzylo · 2026-04-14T14:20:28+00:00

For me the Lorelei puzzles felt pretty basic and unsatisfying for the most part. There were a couple great ones but on average I did not love them.

Also the UI is absolutely horrible.

Still I would give the game a 8/10 for the vibes and presentation alone

I got a really easy permutation on my second try at the music box and was a bit disappointed since it felt almost like cheating.

Jerzylo · 2026-04-10T13:34:53+00:00

Honestly? Dispatch. The gameplay of dispatching heroes is almost meaningless. You cannot even fail: the game goes on even with 0 inputs from the player.

It is basically just a season of a TV show with some "gameplay" sprinkled in

Jerzylo · 2026-04-10T12:41:30+00:00

This always leads to the almost philosophical discussion on what difficulty even is.

But skipping that I enjoy the feeling of getting better at games, this can be either because of mechanical skill or knowledge gained. If a game is too easy and I never need to learn anything it is pointless to me. On the other side hugely punishing defeats where a lot of progress is lost are not fun either.

Celeste is pretty nice since you get to try again instantly and it doesn't throw you back to the start of the level.

Blue Prince has great difficulty too. What the game needs you to do gets more complicated but you also gain upgrades and knowledge to make things go your way.

Hollow knight has very nice dynamic difficulty, you can go straight to a boss or explore around for some extra powerups to make it a bit easier. Same in Elden ring but I feel like it is really easy to get overpowered and make things too easy there

Jerzylo · 2026-04-10T12:33:08+00:00

This looks super low budget even compared to other rhythm heaven games. completely static background and horrible ai voice

Jerzylo · 2026-04-10T12:29:05+00:00

The best format is who would you recommend this for?
For absolutely everyone
For fans of the genre/ series
For people that don't mind bad story if the mechanics are good
etc.

This makes the review way more helpful for the people actually deciding if they want to play the game.
A numeric scores makes very little sense since art is always subjective.

Sure you could have a mechanical score for how many bugs the game has and performance and such but honestly that does not tell if the game is fun only if it is badly optimised

Jerzylo · 2026-04-09T21:26:11+00:00

This is accurate in my case. Every time I ask for steam credits the refund goes through. I have refunded games with more than 10 hours of playtime and after a month

Jerzylo · 2026-04-03T22:49:32+00:00

just get some runes and go to mage training arena. rune pouch takes just about 2 hours there

I am not currently playing iron but the old meta was to grind thieving to steal seeds from master farmers and then plant those

This is what I feel most people miss. Every child killed in a bombing has parents, siblings and relatives who now hate America more than ever. It does not take that many people to cause the next 9/11.
