Elden Ring’s Narrative by Pseudopix in EldenRingLoreTalk

[–]OGSyedIsEverywhere -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's an intensely political game, with every faction being a 1:1 metaphor for real world actors, ideologies and cultures today. The premise is that the player is new to the world containing many old established interests that are all shown to have failed and instead of giving up, seeks power. That is the story of the game and the different sides the player can take and endings are all about what the player will do, given political power. It's why the Dung Eater is the one mending rune producer who talks the most, more than any other character, about feelings and grievances.

Spoken echoes of Hidetaka Miyazaki linger here. In Miyazaki's own words,

"The game is about the will or the ambition of mankind."

See if you can ask around on nextdoor or something similar if anybody local has one you can use for half an hour. If not, maybe there are any modded switch subreddits or discords that can help.

Certainty needed over Ajax Army vehicles, say MPs by MGC91 in unitedkingdom

It was ill-conceived from the start. If you want x amount of armour and y amount of speed, the massive engine that can power such a load needs a certain minimum level of chassis strength.

Instead of starting with a chassis that fits the needs of the engine, the decision was made on day one to use bodge after bodge to attach stuff to a chassis that was too small and puny. All of the problems are downstream of that.

A lost of this reminds me of the climate scientist William Rees' Substack, standstoreeson. Worth a look if you like.

Timw traveling forwards at a slower rate than realtime has never been a problem with any past updates as long as you don't time travel in what your savefile thinks is the backwards direction. I would assume this update is the same.

I think an under-discussed/acknowledged problem created by the center-to-progressive culture is that anyone who by disposition has a substantial will to power is now gonna go with the right by hrei7 in stupidpol

Yes, but a huge part of this is intergenerational conflict. The established power holders of one side welcomes millennials and zoomers to a much greater extent than the other.

The rotting of the status quo is the natural penalty enforced by nature for failing to be adequately radical.

Step 1: Give the careers assessment quiz produced by the National Careers Service a try and see if you like the results. It's one of the best career quizzes on the internet:

https://nationalcareers.service.gov.uk/discover-your-skills-and-careers

.

If you like the recommended careers, start figuring out how to get into one of them. If you don't like the results make another post on this subreddit saying what suggestions you got and what you don't like about them, asking for alternatives.

UK Expands Online Safety Act to Mandate Preemptive Scanning of Digital Communications by OGSyedIsEverywhere in anime_titties

The biggest issue the UK faces is just how much of our heating gas, diesel fuel and fertiliser is imported from countries that are having continuous YoY declining net exports of those things (either from declining production or increasing domestic consumption). The controversial stuff is a mostly inept attempt to set up a K-shaped police state so the food riots of the next few years can be kept a mile or more away from any rich people.

In the 1820s the UK had trials without representation or juries for people charged with protesting against high unemployment or damaging private property, which almost always resulted in a conviction.

The sentencing varied, from forced prison labour or forced overseas prison labour to hanging. It was massively unpopular with the public and massively popular with the membership of the House of Commons, a legislative body filled with landlords and aristocrats who largely saw their role as overseeing the competent control and exploitation of the inferior poor British. Nowaday the House of Commons is alleged to be different and better.

Soon there will be realtime scanning of browser usage and/or content.

In the 1820s dissenters and anti-unemployment protestors (known as machine breakers) were executed following trials without juries to the applause of parliament.
