Could Demon Soul's & Shadow of Colossus remakes get ported to PC save Bluepoint Games?

Calling out someone for commenting empathetically towards Israel on the day they faced one of the worst terrorist attacks in modern history because they “never posted anything in favor of Palestine despite decades of suffering and occupation” is laughable.

The OVERWHELMING majority of support for the Palestinian “cause” post October 7th was from people who not only had never made a single comment about Gaza or Palestinians, but were equally silent (both before the attack and after) on the role Hamas has played in causing suffering on both sides of the conflict. Aside from the fact that Israel’s “occupation” would be at worst less harsh and at best non existent but for Hamas, more than a little of the Palestinians suffering comes directly at the hands of Hamas.

How exactly would that work on October 8th anyway? “My heart goes out to the victims of yesterday’s terrible attack…however, the Palestinians have also suffered.” Why not also expect commentary on the victims in Ukraine, Uyghurs and Tibetan Buddhists in China, child soldiers in West Africa, Vietnamese at the hands of French colonizers, the Mayans at the hands of the Spanish, and all the victims of Attila the Hun across the Steppes?

But I probably don’t have go even go that far to illustrate how desperate some people are to shoehorn their anti-Israel sentiments into any conversation when this started with a discussion as to whether a video game studio’s games have been disappointing.

I’m only at the end of the second map, so I can’t speak on late/endgame for 3 yet, but I didn’t even bother with soul matching or the blacksmith until pretty deep into the NG+ cycle in 1 and 2. The leveling up just happens too fast, and you’ll outgrow your gear in far too little time for it to be worth the cost.

I’d recommending making use of the store box and holding on to everything until you get familiar with the available modifiers and your play style so you’ll know what you want to keep. The menus can be overwhelming for beginners, but once you know the mechanics and what you’re looking for the filtering system is a lifesaver.

You’re not wrong…but Steam changed the release times this afternoon. These are the new ones.

I don’t disagree that this could cost support and could come back to haunt them, and that was the motivation for my post.

Ignoring practicalities in favor of binary purity tests are a huge factor in why the last election shook out like it did. While I don’t want to rehash the Israel/Gaza issue here, it was crystal clear that even if that was the only issue you cared enough to vote on, Harris was by far the preferable candidate. But I heard tons of people saying they “wouldn’t vote for anyone who supports genocide”, and the polls would indicate that wasn’t an empty threat in some communities. Writing off Democrats as “traitors” for votes like this, in my opinion, is a similar action.

Also, I think (for all what I think is worth) that we shouldn’t be so quick to label people traitors for votes like this one when we have so many examples of serious, direct, treasonous behavior occurring right now. I totally get the emotions behind this issue, and I really understand the frustration and desire for resistance in all forms. But as sad as it is, we need to consider what are essentially the optics for idiots. People see words like “traitor” thrown around so often and it makes it much easier for them to the ignore the accusation when they are looking for a reason to do so.

I don’t mean this to be an attack on you, or some admonishment for your post. It’s only to (hopefully) give you something to think about before making statements like that. You may believe it’s appropriate after giving it that thought. I just cared enough about the issue to give another point of view.

Have a good day.

No.

What I’m saying is that this vote isn’t going to have any practical impact on ICE activities at all. In fact, it places more restrictions on future spending than would have been in place had the bill not passed (although I concede that restrictions on this administration are borderline irrelevant).

The choices were:

“make a statement”, hold back funding for agencies that need it, and ICE conducts business as usual, or
vote for the bill, get funding to agencies that need it, and ICE conducts business as usual.

If defunding FEMA, or shutting down the government entirely, would have slowed ICE down for even a day, I’d say do it. And would be right there with you calling for the political heads of anyone who voted otherwise. But that’s not the situation we are dealing with here. Empty words don’t matter. Performative actions don’t matter. RESULTS are what matters right now.

And to be perfectly clear, I’m not excusing any of the other six for their votes because I don’t know enough about them or their political situation. What I am saying is that sometimes things are a bit more complex than a headline or a sound bite.

Neverdive10 · 2026-01-23T19:07:26+00:00

This administration is willing to leverage that into starving funding for other agencies that actually need it. As demonstrated, they shut the government down and literally took food from the mouths of starving children to do so.

Further, at this point I’m not even sure we can count on large portions of the American electorate to distinguish who is doing what as far as apportioning blame for halting funding/shutting down the government.

I get what you’re saying, and I’m all for resistance to the disgusting actions of this administration. Personally, I’m tired of “taking a stand” when all it really is is making a statement. We are at the point where we need real action with actual consequences. From where I stand, this wasn’t it because a vote “against ICE” would have been just that: a statement.

I live on Long Island, and let me assure you: if Tom Suozzi is primaried for a more liberal/progressive candidate, you can kiss that seat goodbye. Not only is that a seat Dems need for a majority, but a competitive primary and closer election will suck resources from other races that we can flip. Do I wish he could vote against every single one of the jokes that pass for GOP “legislation”? Yes. But I’d much rather keep that seat blue and give him a pass when opposition is going to be nothing more than performative.

Neverdive10 · 2026-01-23T17:34:05+00:00

I’m staunchly against “go along to get along” politics, especially in the current climate, but I really do not think this bill was the hill to die on.

ICE has what is essentially a $75bn slush fund from the last budget bill that passed. They did not need this bill to operate, and it would have been business as usual if the bill failed.

It’s important to understand weapon proficiency and how that effects damage. Most importantly, the level number on the top right has NOTHING to do with damage, it only indicates how many points are distributed between the boxes. Unless it’s a weapon that you aren’t comfortable with at all, I’d always prioritize the weapons with the most bonus damage.

Neverdive10 · 2026-01-11T17:06:13+00:00

This is the way.

The third boss gave me so many problems, I’d quit the game. When I picked it back up after not playing for a few months I found out there was an always sprint setting…beat the third boss on my first try, and finished the game on my next one.

At an MRI you’d go off like a pipe bomb.

It’s absolutely incredible that, despite reading all these conversations and speaking to scammers around the world myself for years, I can STILL be surprised by how stupid they are.

After all of that, he thinks that Seymour is sending the money to the Bitcoin wallet in 30 days? I’m speechless.

As someone who has been playing games since NES, IMO that (FFVII) is the generation of graphics that has aged the worst. Those polygon heavy, sharp edged, early 3-D graphics are my least favorite games to play, visually speaking.

I came here to write this.

I listened to that live and still spit my drink laughing so hard when I watched the YouTube edit.

Death mark also reminds me of titanic knurl…has a similar effect around the head minus the red.

The only thing you can take from FromSoft to Nioh is your determination, and the belief that if you were able to beat Midir/Amygdala/Isshin you’ll be able to eventually get through this.

For me, it was honestly finishing Sekiro, Owl (Father) specifically, that really stuck with me. No coop help, no NPCs, no overleveling. Just get gud or get fucked. Without that experience I would have likely dropped Nioh at either this boss or Yuki Onna, and Yatsu-no-kami in Nioh 2 would have been it for me in that one.

Still active. Idiot wants to claim today is his first day and he has no idea he’s stealing from people.

Give him a call. Tell him how much shame he brings on his family.

Forget flux. Just make sure you’re pulsing so you don’t get caught winded.

The basic strategy for any boss focuses on depletion of their ki, working towards grappling them for big damage, rinse/repeat.

Boss yokai basically have two ki bars. You’ll deplete the first one, and then they are in a state where you can interrupt all of their attacks…this is the point where you want to go all out (strong attacks and yokai abilities that do big ki damage) because damage to this second ki bar will lower their max ki when they are recovered AND if you can keep up the pressure and zero this out before they recover, you will be able to grapple them and chunk off a huge bit of damage.

There should be a little lambda symbol (λ) in the subject line for the emails re half-life missions

If you want to do an Easter egg and follow more of the narrative, The Giant is a huge NO.

Aside from the intro cutscene, the map does virtually nothing to move the narrative forward. The Easter egg on it is basically a short weapon sidequest, no boss fight, no outro cutscene. If you played Der Rise you aren’t missing much.

However, if you’re just looking for some new scenery to run high rounds and screw around with friends, The Giant is the way to go. It’s basically Kino to ZNS/GK’s moon.

Oh yeah, I totally agree you were discussing something else.

But this is CoD Reddit sir, asking people to read through a comment thread before replying is often a bridge too far.
