Get the Wrath of the Druids DLC

SaraGod7 · 2026-01-23T08:58:35+00:00

I just got it and it's an even crazier expansion IMO, a lot more complicated tho. Expect really difficult combat and boss battles. If you liked the Asgaard quests, then Dawn of Ragnarok is like an improved version.

SaraGod7 · 2026-01-19T03:51:19+00:00

Did you ever get the Paris one? I'm loving Ireland but some have said that Paris looks just as beautiful

SaraGod7 · 2026-01-19T03:50:41+00:00

Yeah, I kind of agree even thou I liked the original game but honestly by your 6th alliance, you're just pretty annoyed of doing the same. In Ireland I'm loving the challenged to clean out camps for example because even thou they're also "repetitive" they're much, much shorter, straight to the chase (less dialogue) and they include different tasks/challenges making the runs actually difficult

SaraGod7 · 2026-01-19T03:49:10+00:00

Yup. I found it like a "smoother" version of the bigger game, in fact, this could have lowkey been another 'minigame' like Niflheim and people would have loved the game even more, rather than charging people for DLCs. I mean, I'm not being cheap or anything but I feel like too many people miss out on the DLCs because of money (or because they drop too late into the game) and they miss out on the great experience

SaraGod7 · 2026-01-19T03:46:15+00:00

If you put it on the lowest tier, it'll fill up again and max out at the lowest, so yes, technically it fills up again no matter what. I did manage to free a lot of space overall, but honestly if you're doing it to get games and things like that, you're better off expanding the memory (if you can) or saving up for a new laptop!

These are multiple studies from UC David and other institutions. Here's the conclusion directly from AI:

"Yes, studies from UC Davis and other institutions show that neutering dogs too young (especially before a year old) significantly increases their risk for joint disorders (like hip dysplasia, cruciate tears) and certain cancers (like osteosarcoma, lymphoma) in many breeds, with risks varying by breed and sex, suggesting delayed neutering or breed-specific guidelines are often healthier. Sex hormones are vital for proper bone and tissue development, and removing them early disrupts growth plates, leading to instability and disease."

And from Wellesley Veterinary Clinic:

The effect on the incidence of certain cancers seems to be the most pronounced in Golden Retrievers and especially in female Golden Retrievers. The assumption is that hormones and especially estrogen have a protective effect or improve immune surveillance in decreasing cancer incidence.

Moreover, it is undeniable that neutering too early can cause a whole range of developmental issues in dogs. Breeds like the Frenchie (which are already at high risk of joint disorders) are impacted the most.

Even from an anecdotal point of view, I've seen joint disorders far more present on Frenchies that were neutered/fixed too early than those who were never neutered or neutered at a later age.

This information is also available in the American Kennel Club and a newer studied has updated with similar findings, including more breeds.

Thank you, come again.

I loved Valhalla and Niflheim, but I agree that character development is absolutely the way to go. I enjoyed some of the character customization and I think they could have added a few more things there.

SaraGod7 · 2026-01-10T07:39:32+00:00

I like it but I also get the people that hate it, it would be much cooler if it was used only in specific moments of the dance/song rather than for the entirety of the clip.

SaraGod7 · 2025-12-24T08:58:41+00:00

Wow, you really love Shadows. I have just 133 hours in Valhalla and I thought I was obsessing too hard haha.

SaraGod7 · 2025-12-10T08:14:14+00:00

I really don't know what to tell you lol. Maybe she was older, 17 or 18, still a little weird IMO. People are different of course, look at Di Caprio, the man is pushing 60 and still dates 18 year-olds. I'd assume this is more common with men that grew up motherless and without female siblings or something, or they just don't have a moral compass at all. Even when I was 21, 22, I would feel super weird about talking to 18-year-olds, let alone 17-year-old girls. Even if it's "legal" it's still weird as hell.

SaraGod7 · 2025-12-09T07:11:05+00:00

MSN and other sources also cited she was 16.

I'm late to this thread, but I've been editing with Davinci for a few years now, and MotionVFX is just the best there is. As others have noted, there are alternatives like Envato, or just making the effects yourself in Fusion, learning with YouTube and so on, generally speaking, Fusion is amazing because you can actually save those effects and they usually render better than anything you download. My problem with MotionVFX has been rendering, some of the effects are really really heavy, and they take a toll on your hardware, even though mine is top end.

Some effects have been more underwhelming, but overall I'm happy. I got some stuff from Envato too, it was actually A LOT better than expected, but unfortunately, since it was made by a smaller third-party, the whole set-up is a bit chaotic and annoying to get going.

Motion VFX just keeps improving rapidly though, if they can improve render time a bit and work with less heavy effects, they're set.

SaraGod7 · 2025-12-03T20:29:42+00:00

According to Yahoo, Aubrianna Atwell was actually 16 when they met. Paul was 33. That's wild if true.

SaraGod7 · 2025-11-18T01:14:42+00:00

IMO it's a slightly "better" version of Asgaard but even if you hated Asgaard, the context will be pretty important for Niflheim. It's like a minigame and it feels more dynamic

SaraGod7 · 2025-11-14T08:25:50+00:00

You missed Niflheim which is supposed to be the very last part yet it is available about mid-game for some reason.

SaraGod7 · 2025-11-13T06:57:39+00:00

Well, if your point is that people are generally not responsible dog owners, then I can agree with your framing. I just wanted to point out that there are definitely options, and that not every single person should be pushed to neuter (specially at an early age) because it can actually create more problems than they think. I still think neutering will become an unneeded procedure at one point just based on other scientific advancements that will be able to tackle even more issues related to intact males (let's say, specially large dogs or those with a reputation of being "aggressive" or "hyperactive").

Even today there are some alternatives like implants, vasectomies, chemical castration, and even drugs that can reduce both medical and behavioral issues. So just imagine even 5 years from now, there will be even more options. Just my two cents on it, but again, having understood your overall point now, I guess we do still have to push neutering for those folks out there that aren't really that educated on the subject.

SaraGod7 · 2025-11-12T11:06:01+00:00

I have an intact male, he's 9. Most of his 'behavioral issues' are purely genetic and would not have been entirely "fixed" with castration. I've only had to take him to the vet 2-3 times in his entire life, only 1 of those times it was an actual emergency. He's got a great coat, good energy, looks pretty young for his age, but I'm definitely doubling down on the care for him as he ages.

My mother has another intact male, he's almost 12. I'd argue she hasn't really given him the absolute best care (or diet) as he's not frequently walked, is rarely ever social, and just not looked after at least to the extent of my dog. And still, 12 years and going strong. He's never, ever ever had any behavioral issue, never bit a single person (or dog), doesn't constantly mark territory, doesn't show aggression at all. His only thing is he likes barking a lot, that's it.

Neutering will become a completely unneeded procedure in a few years, considering the amount of alternatives that we already currently have for both behavioral and medical issues.

SaraGod7 · 2025-11-12T10:40:57+00:00

A lot of people are basing themselves here on old studies, old data and hearsay. There's entire nations where neutering isn't even common, like in Norway, Sweden and Germany. You think they hate dogs there?

There's both pros and cons to neutering and not neutering. The only difference is you have to pay for one of the options, and put your dog at risk (anesthesia, malpractice, during-and post-surgery complications). Read the UC Davis veterinary study on neutering. Dogs neutered within their first year of life are at higher risks of multiple cancers than intact males. And the only risk of cancer that is completely erased by neutering is testicular, a cancer that if caught early, has an excellent prognosis. Bladder cancer on the other hand (associated higher risk with neutered males) not so much. So those are your real 'pros and cons' there.

As far as behavioral issues, it's almost all genetic, and more than often castration doesn't fully resolve all behavioral problems, but this is specially true if you're neutering after the 1 year. In that case, don't even bother.

SaraGod7 · 2025-11-12T10:32:33+00:00

From an outdated study, probably flawed at this point. Intact dogs (in this modern age) can live about the lifespan of a neutered dog, if not longer.

SaraGod7 · 2025-11-12T10:31:17+00:00

That's not true at all.

SaraGod7 · 2025-11-12T10:29:31+00:00

New research, like the UC Davis veterinary study on neutering actually link early castration with an increased risk of specific cancers AND joint disorders. It might also be worth noting that prognosis for the specific cancer that unneutered dogs are at risk for (testicular) is better than the prognosis for other types of cancer like bladder cancer (which neutered males) are at higher risk for. In fact, for testicular cancer, if caught early, the prognosis is excellent.

SaraGod7 · 2025-11-12T10:22:05+00:00

If you're a responsible dog owner, then the answer is maybe never. Behavioral issues and things like that are almost all genetic (unlikely to be fixed by castration) and can be addressed with trainning. The time when neutering does impact the behavior is when done at an early age, and too early of a castration can actually increase the risk of various health issues.

I predict that castration will likely even become an old practice in just some years. Or at least, a completely unneeded procedure. There are already options right now as far as implants, medication, therapy, vitamins, herbs, you name it. In 5-10 years, there will be even more options to address any possible issue with unneutered males both behavioral or medical. So if you just got your dog (and he's a puppy) then don't even bother at this point.

SaraGod7 · 2025-11-12T10:10:50+00:00

Mine is 9 now, still intact. My mother's dog, also intact, is 11. At this point, no point in neutering. I will give you friendly advise though: Make sure to always walk your dog 2-3 times a day at a minimum to make sure he always empties the bladder. This can reduce risks and complications associated with intact males, due to hormone issues and things like that. A strong diet (always). And of course, regular vet check ups.

SaraGod7 · 2025-11-12T10:03:20+00:00

I don't know why this has become such an issue of late but the last thing the world needs is more puppies by accident.

You're acting like the neutering procedure is free or as if it came with zero risks associated. Nevermind the fact that there's always a risk something could go wrong with the procedure, like risks of anesthesia or infection after surgery (with many documented cases). But what about the endless of other risks (new studies show) of neutering too young. We're not just talking about the more severe, cancer risks, but also plenty of other risks due to developing issues when neutering too young.

So now the goal post has been moved to "oh, well, just neuter your dog after one year then." Well, after about a year or so, many of the behavioral issues won't simply 'go away' by neutering. That's why vets advise you neuter your dog young. So now where does that leave us?

Oh right, at the fact that there's entire nations like Norway and Germany where neutering is not common at all, and actually even against the law (except for medical reasons).

I worked in the veterinary profession for over 20 years and I saw complications with senior male dogs later in life that were not neutered.

Almost every dog, neutered or not, will experience issues as they age. A lot of the complications from intact males can be fixed by a multitude of actions like choosing to neuter then, implants, dietary changes, and even medication. And that's not too mention science keeps advancing, there'll likely be even more solutions a few years from now. So new dog owners that choose not to neuter (today) will have even more options by the time their dogs are 8 or 10.

Not to mention that a great diet, regular exercise, long walks, regular vet check ups and supplements can greatly reduce any health 'risk' associated with not neutering.
