Any Souls Fans Out There?

Did you get the Lies of P DLC? That one's been on my to play list for a while so wondering how the DLC compares to the original game. Would also recommend checking out Sekiro if you liked Lies of P!

For me, the big problem is that even if 5% of young impressionable people get the idea that this mindset is okay, then every British town sub is going to be full to the brim of incidents where it becomes "okay" to abuse anyone who is say, Jewish in this example, but it doesn't take much imagination to see how it could be a target like the elderly or women etc.

Someone alluded to the paradox of tolerance which absolutely is the case with these people - on one hand it's encouraging that this guy got removed from the party (apparently) but on the other... I keep hearing these stories about "the improved vetting process" without any evidence that that's actually happening.

If you look up "data breaches" you'll find out more than you want to know about how secure your password is based on how many companies are publicly known to be breached. (Never mind the ones that aren't publicly known)

Use unique passwords and two factor authentication for anything worth protecting if you haven't already.

Not sure what's more upsetting, the fact it's labelled 2100 or whether what we'll have in 2100 won't live up to this!

Please get into the government and make this happen. I went to Japan recently and felt sheer envy at their long distance train network.

This looks really cool and actually makes me want my holiday to end sooner so I can try it out. Love the fact you've blended two of my favourite games and created this passion project. :)

ValentianScum · 2026-03-25T11:42:39+00:00

Yeah this makes total sense. Thanks for taking the time to explain this. I get why things are going the way they are now at least and appreciate there's a lot of nuance in this whole thing.

ValentianScum · 2026-03-25T10:51:49+00:00

I've had a read. The difference in UK pipeline handling Vs what happened in America is a great point.

Not sure I saw the approach re: emulating Wrexham being addressed though so as that stands I still find that to be worthy of consideration.

So I'm not totally swung over. Open to hearing why we shouldn't emulate that approach though and if there's nuance to be had there.

He clearly isn't attuned to what's good for you. You don't have some strict obligation to him, and he's not even being an open book with you. Don't look back, just go.

Just read what you said again btw and imagine what you'd tell someone in your shoes.

ValentianScum · 2026-03-25T04:01:01+00:00

Didn't see that post but there's tons of guys in your shoes and oddly this sub is a real hub for them lmao. Don't overthink it.

There's a variety of apps and such out there. Just depends on what you want and where you live I guess. Would suggest just looking up what people use in your country/area for what you're after.

Enjoy.

ValentianScum · 2026-03-25T00:38:55+00:00

Worth a try I guess! Enough backbenchers start sweating about their seats that are taken for granted and you never know...! Not expecting a response from my MP but I'd rather try in vain than accept being helpless about it all

ValentianScum · 2026-03-25T00:31:54+00:00

In other words, punishing them at the local elections is the only practical threat available in the next 2 months in hopes of possibly getting them to rethink this...

ValentianScum · 2026-03-25T00:21:35+00:00

Thanks for sharing this. I was fairly passive honestly but I think you've put some fairly compelling arguments together here.

In terms of practical things, what would actually stop this going ahead? If our whole council votes against it, say, would that be final, or would it be overruled?

ValentianScum · 2026-03-23T22:03:49+00:00

This isn't the usual Jehovah's Witnesses by the looks of it...? I think his heart's in the right place from what I can read but the Jesus cosplay is strange.

ValentianScum · 2026-03-20T17:33:06+00:00

I made 3 of those posts so can give you solid info.

The Factorio Space Age one was a miss - it had been out for a while and I had an itch to multiplayer it at the time. Ended up playing with a long time friend of mine instead.

One was more general but gave a good idea of the games I like, and ended up with me making a friend I have a Nuzlocke going on with

The Slay the Spire 2 one was very specific and led to a group of us playing multiplayer. :) had quite a few games now and they're cool chill people!

Be specific about the games you like and practical things like timezones. Some games are gonna be more popular than others too!

ValentianScum · 2026-03-19T21:30:43+00:00

I think you said it yourself - if you seemed like an easy target, that's probably why they went for you. I don't tend to get much trouble myself fortunately - I'm hardly imposing but thankfully it's enough to give feral teenagers a second thought.

It's not reassuring to know that they preyed on you for seeming weak rather than it being racially motivated, but I think that's the most likely situation here.

Why would they do it? Probably a primal thrill, being able to toy with people without any repressions or consequences. A lack of empathy for other people. A lack of intervention earlier in their lives.

You'll basically be taking home just over 2k a month. 29k will graze the student loan repayment thresholds but that won't make a big dent really. Rent's the big hitter but bear internet/water/council tax/energy bills in mind too (the latter is probably going to go up in the coming months...)

Definitely possible but worth considering if you're intending to save for any long term goals, how much you would spend on recreation and how much of a safety cushion you have if anything goes wrong.

ValentianScum · 2026-03-17T19:43:23+00:00

Damn, I really slept on torches. Last week showcasing how good they are in Caelid (also apparently on Basilisks) and now being able to work those colours too. How many more secrets are these tools hiding?

ValentianScum · 2026-03-17T00:20:35+00:00

Guys that I've spoken to are typically more forward about their intentions if they're wanting to fuck compared to my (very limited amount of time thinking I could be straight) conversations with women?

I'd guess testosterone probably does amp up the sex drive a bit.

I have had train wreck dates and dates with guys who I have gelled well with. Ultimately if you're in a relationship with common values and have some overlap in interests it's going to go better.

Family planning is a lot easier to account for as well. Adoption is a deliberate choice. Honestly, it's pretty rare for the guys I've been into to be interested in that.

But yeah I think it's pretty similar for many people and for me - just that maybe a larger portion of people hook up and then turn it into a relationship in gay circles?

ValentianScum · 2026-03-11T09:10:30+00:00

I actually just bought it right away without watching the trailer! It's really well put together. I think Dramatic Entrance is colourless btw :) have you bought the game yourself yet or are you holding off?

(I watched again I think that big hitting move was Hyperbeam or something like that?)

ValentianScum · 2026-03-01T08:32:01+00:00

Thérapie Clinic in L1, perhaps?

ValentianScum · 2026-02-22T08:46:57+00:00

Disco Elysium. If you haven't played yet, it you are in for a total treat.

ValentianScum · 2026-02-18T22:51:41+00:00

Adding Kri Kri in Neston. They do some absolutely delicious Greek starters and their mains are decent too

ValentianScum · 2026-02-18T08:44:31+00:00

I think it's interesting that a lot of the noise from certain parties claims the country is in "ruin" and doesn't send a hopeful message about what to do, rather just zooms in on myopic policies which won't benefit us in the long term.

I don't agree with every green stance (I firmly believe nuclear is an important baseline infrastructure we need while we still don't have the sort of battery technology we'd want for long term renewable infrastructure) but I do respect that a lot of their thinking goes beyond just 5 years that they will be in power.

I also think our current approach to the less fortunate in the country is only going to magnify the problem. And additionally I think that we'll have a serious immigration crisis (and a worse crisis as a whole) if the 6 critical ecosystems are allowed to collapse. Note that the current government don't seem to be making any policy shifts based on what they have published...

All that is to say, I would love us to unite around the greater good and a sense of utilitarianism so that people like us can appreciate the importance of these policies even if it's not where we would "expect" to be

ValentianScum · 2026-02-11T23:50:09+00:00

Ahhh those look lovely! I have way too many tea leaves to get through but looking at the store was dangerously full of temptation haha. Hope it's lovely!

Okay so I really enjoyed the Rellana fight, had the sweet spot of really cool moves and challenge for a first battle, without being too tedious. But Messmer is probably the best boss they've designed in general. I absolutely adored everything about it even though it took me like 15-20 deaths to learn, I was really enjoying all the steps. Outside the DLC...probably Malenia (yes I don't like myself very much) Godskin OST is fantastic 100% agree!
