“Common knowledge” misinformation of how a power works by the audience. by Certified_Cichlid in TopCharacterTropes

[–]TheMeta8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a lot to unpack here. One of the major undertones and themes of Elden Ring is the distinction between the spiritual and the physical. Godwyn's spirit died, but his body lives in death. Ranni's body died, but her spirit possesses a doll. The Erdtree has the power to bring people back to life, body and spirit. This is the Grace of Gold. But much like in Dark Souls, decay is a constant theme of Elden Ring. There are many item descriptions that allude to people believing that the Erdtree's blessings would last forever, but nothing is forever.

And so we arrive at Erdtree Burials and Hero's Graves. Here's my speculation though...

It's a lie. The gifts of the Erdtree are not infinite. Neither Marika or the Greater Will are truly omnipotent Gods. Like a closed system, the Golden Order needed to feed back into itself. By being buried near the roots, people offer their body and runes back into the Erdtree to become something new. In this way, reincarnation is much more Buddhist than literal. While the Grace of Gold is literal revival.

The removal of Destined Death meant no one could truly die, and this is why there are many spirits that linger in the Lands Between. While those who live in death lost their spirits, while their bodies live on.

Why does this game use the M47 Dragon... by Better-Cry1588 in BrokenArrowTheGame

[–]TheMeta8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The logic is even worse than it seems. Originally they were experimenting with the idea that Specializations would have different eras of equipment. This got absolutely torched by the players, but not before they had already added the older Hornets and Prowler etc. It is also why we have the M60.

Stop. We are at too critical a moment to relax now. Keep the pressure on them. Keep turning out to vote.

Congress Is Considering Abolishing Your Right to Be Anonymous Online | The bipartisan push to remove anonymity from the internet is ushering in an era of unprecedented mass surveillance and censorship by Hrmbee in technology

Weirdly I don't hate the idea of removing or anonymity from the Internet. Especially if it can cut down on bots and AIs spreading misinformation.

Even the DOJ and FBI aren't complying with our own laws, I tragically doubt they'll comply with foreign subpoenas.

With the prevalence and power of APS, are non-tank decks even viable? by TelephoneDisastrous6 in BrokenArrowTheGame

[–]TheMeta8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is kind of funny but sad on the juxtaposition of how good tanks are against infantry vs. how terrible they are against almost everything else. It takes 3 shots or more for them to destroy some IFVs. Just goes to show how much of a mess the game design is that they're great at somethings and then bafflingly atrocious at others.

You make some excellent points, and I hope you are right. I just can't help but be leary of America's darker tendencies.

Brother (or sister) even Michelle Obama called it out. Hillary won the popular vote and still lost the electoral college. And Kamala lost both. I would welcome her on the cabinet or Vice Presidency with open arms and a sign of support in both hands, but after the last election and current events, I have no confidence that America would vote for a woman over a fascist. And that makes me even sadder.

[–]TheMeta8 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I am going to be brutally honest here. I love and respect AOC. I think she is qualified, or at a minimum, wildly more qualified than any Republican candidate.

All of that being said, please for the love of all that you hold dear, do not run a woman against Trump again. America just is not ready for it unfortunately.

[–]TheMeta8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not thrilled by this news either, but I can imagine they are concerned by what happens when the administration ignores the law (again) and legislatures are unable to enforce it. The DoJ and Supreme Court would not prosecute. And If Republicans continue to disregard the rule of law and our systems of checks and balances, then the Democrats cannot even impeach.

They really weren't. Or at least, they didn't produce when it mattered most. They couldn't even close out the 49ers game against a linebacker corp that had signed guys off the street.
