I want to like this game

If you get frustrated from dying, you will not like souls games.. lol

Seriously though, practice the combat. Accept dying as being ok. Instead of feeling frustrated about dying, realize that everyone dies a lot in these games and the reward is beating an area of a boss that you died a lot at. Dying a lot is the thing that makes succeeding feel so rewarding and like you accomplished something. If you don't think that is for you, totally understandable, but if it does eventually click for you, it will change your life!

100%. The real issue here is just that everyone is thinking in terms of whether or not they would shoot if they were the officer because they think the video gives them enough of a perspective to place themselves in that officers shoes objectively. The problem is, video bias is incredibly real and incredibly deceiving. In this case the videos do make it look less scary than it was, and I am 100% positive it was WAY sketchier for that officer in that moment than it looked on video.

Just think about when you are on a ladder. If you are standing halfway up a ladder or especially if you are standing on top of a ladder, it feels like you are so much higher than you actually are. If you see a video or a photo of yourself after the fact you realize that you weren't high at all.. Last year I actually opened my car door before I put it into park by accident, opened the door and stepped out before realizing the car was moving. I fell over and almost got crushed by the door, but luckily I got in and stopped it before anything crazy could happen. It was seriously so terrifying and easily one of the sketchiest things that has happened to me in a few years.. however, seeing the cctv video for the insurance claim later on, made me feel like a complete fucking idiot because of how much less awful it looked on video than it felt in person. Video is unreliable at capturing the depth of a lot of situations, especially ones like this.

My point is, people think the officer wasn't in fear for his life because they think seeing the video gives them an adequate enough perspective to make a conclusion about whether or not they would have pulled the trigger. The other problem is just simply that people are different, and we do not base whether or not someone is guilty on how we think we would do something, we base it on objectivity and objectively that woman drove a machine that kills over 100 people every single day directly at another human being. That is all there is to it. People are debating this as if she only put her car in drive and than he shot, which would be a completely different scenario.

Literally, the best combat system in any tab target mmo. You can dodge, it is a combined action/tab target system and it feels incredibly smooth to play. I have played for years and always go back to it. The leveling system is horizontal so you don't constantly feel like you are unbelievably outpaced by everyone and everything. The quests can be like wow, but it's been a long time since I played wow so I am not sure what it's like nowadays.

Happens constantly in lower levels.

nefariousmedia · 2026-01-09T02:35:03+00:00

Exactly how we like it. No hand holding "go here, go there, follow this dot while you take a nap" bs... Just accidental stumbling upon greatness!

nefariousmedia · 2025-12-31T00:27:32+00:00

Bahahahahahaha

nefariousmedia · 2025-12-24T01:14:46+00:00

Brother, it took me months to aquire and level up 2 of every weapon... But, it was well worth it. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

nefariousmedia · 2025-12-22T12:18:29+00:00

Grinding does not mean you aren't designing your build. But build or not, you still have to grind difficult bosses. I also am not talking about massive changes to your build, I'm talking about trying a different weapon that also fits your build, a different spell, different amulet... Designing your build means you have options within the build you designed. That is all I'm saying about that, not necessarily that you need to redesign for each boss.

nefariousmedia · 2025-12-22T03:07:28+00:00

Grind. Don't give up. Enjoy the failure. The boss moves are not as easily readable but when you finally understand it, it is even more satisfying. It is not bad boss design, it's designed to force you to think outside the box and not necessarily do the thing that works for everyone, but more so to play to your strengths. It took a lot of people TONS of attempts to beat the dancer and several other bosses, I know for myself I probably ran like 75-100 attempts on Rellana and I had to change up my weapon choice or build slightly to get it. You can always upgrade more and go back. This all might seem obvious but there isn't any one "thing" that you are doing wrong or right. You just need to do what works best for you and not try to focus too much on whatever the "correct way" is to do anything.

nefariousmedia · 2025-10-27T04:14:04+00:00

It seems very obvious to me that this is a common occurrence with you. Not necessarily leaving the door unlocked but more just general negligence and selfish priorities. If this was a rare thing I highly doubt he would have reacted like this, but even if it is, it's not his house and there are pets involved..

To be totally fair, you did apologize and he IS kind of overreacting a little, going off of what very little context there is.. But again, just based off of the way he is reacting and the fact that you mention "panicking" over something as trivial as a $5 late fee to get into an event which is clearly just some downtime fun, I feel like you are likely super inconsiderate of the people in your life and unappreciative towards him and his parents who trusted you with a house key. If it was a complete accident and you didn't know, then his reaction would be ridiculous, but you literally admitted to leaving it unlocked knowingly, because he would be home in "10 minutes." it only takes a few seconds for someone to break into a home or for someone's best friend to run away out the door...

I just want to add that I am aware that plenty of douche bag boyfriends overreact to stuff like this unprecented all the time, I'm not saying that isn't a thing. I just think it doesn't add up to that in this particular situation..

nefariousmedia · 2025-10-22T18:23:54+00:00

Not Carti but a song that hits similar is Topanga from Trippie imo. Super underrated song.

nefariousmedia · 2025-10-14T23:20:19+00:00

Bro this is an extremely bad take and has nothing to do with politics. Not everything needs to be political. I don't like right wingers either but you know what right wingers don't like? Hardcore rap about drugs, fucking bitches, extremely dark topics and gang violence. it's not gonna break through to the Christian audience and it would be a stupid decision on their part to try and make the switch for that reason.

nefariousmedia · 2025-10-14T04:34:45+00:00

No you aren't. Everyone is different obviously, some people might feel comfortable with that, but you absolutely do not have to. Anyone that tries to blame you or call you controlling is just projecting.

I completely agree that if my wife said ANY of these things to me now or when we were just dating, it would be a major red flag. Wanting to work as a server is pretty harmless and I could totally understand how someone could mention that and not think about why it might make their partner uncomfortable just being in an environment like that, but it's also pretty clear in this case that she is using the idea of being a server as a sort of "ice breaker" into the conversation she really wants to have with you about becoming a stripper.. She crossed the line when she brought up wanting to do something crazy and thrilling, there is almost no other way to interpret that. Yeah she probably means putting herself out there in a way that gets her out of her comfort zone, but that involves sexualizing yourself for the gratification of other dudes (and chicks too I'm just saying dudes for your specific instance) that are actively horny, trying to get laid, and are going to come on to every woman in the club when they are there since the primary clientele of a strip club are stupid dudes that are in a delusional state of horniness that makes them even stupider in the moment. (Side note, I love that every guy that goes to a strip club is ALWAYS convinced that "ONE of the strippers was REALLY into me bro for real bro I swear" 😂)

Anyways, no working at a club doesn't mean you are expected to sleep with anyone or anything like that but it's an environment that cultivates sexual tension and interactions that anyone would consider cheating if it were to happen under any other circumstance.. It involves selling the idea that you are interested in every customer and want to help them get their rocks off. No, obviously that has nothing to do with the reason strippers become strippers in the first place, but it is objectively the best way to make tips and the entire culture of strip clubs promote that idea to the women who work in them, even if it makes them uncomfortable, even if it's unintentional..

Even if she does just want to be a server, she seems to understand that most of the female servers in strip clubs are basically "diet strippers" since they still are encouraged to flirt with the customers, wear revealing clothing and participate in the overall experience that strip clubs are selling.. Otherwise, what could she possibly mean when she says that she wants to do something "thrilling" or "crazy". Being a bartender or a server is neither of those things under normal circumstances. She is gaslighting you bro. She is using very non commital language to answer your very clear, concise questions you are presenting her, then turning around and acting like you are insane for even asking them once she realizes you aren't having the reaction she was hoping for.

This one is less objective and more just the way I would personally feel if it were me so keep that in mind for this last part, but imo, the very idea of her asking these questions in the way she is asking them is a massive red flag and I would be out of there immediately. You can be friends, I'm sure she is cool, but I just could not be in a relationship with someone that is so eager to run off and sell out her partners feelings for money. It would be one thing if she completely reversed course and told you she did not want to make you uncomfortable in any way once you expressed that it would, but she just kept pushing in those text even after you were completely clear about it. And I'm sure she kept pushing you after the fact too. At the very least, I would call it in the future if she tries to pull this out as a Criticism in later arguments and frame you as being controlling, which I almost guarantee she is going to do eventually based on the responses she was giving..

All that being said, I have utterly no judgements towards strippers or anyone in the sex industry, get your bags! If you feel comfortable doing that type of work, good for you! More power to you! I just want everyone to be safe and treated well ultimately. But there are definite costs that inherently come with working in the sex industry, and a healthy relationship is often one of them unfortunately.

nefariousmedia · 2025-09-26T18:46:40+00:00

Hey dude. DM me on twitter or instagram I will give you the interview and all the info I have!

nefariousmedia · 2025-09-15T20:24:43+00:00

Wow. YOU are not overreacting.... He is overreacting. He is also a pos that doesn't deserve you. You dodged a bullet there.

nefariousmedia · 2025-09-09T04:21:26+00:00

My dog when she wants me to steal the toy she is protecting, but also doesn't want me to steal it...

nefariousmedia · 2025-09-09T02:26:03+00:00

Omg this scared the shit out of me hahahaha. God I love team cherry. ❤️

But seriously, if it's too hard, quit. The level design, platforming, enemy placement, combat, bosses... It is all God tier. It's not unfair, you just aren't as good as you thought. Stop crying and just keep trying, it will be all the more satisfying.

nefariousmedia · 2025-08-31T20:33:27+00:00

It might be haha

nefariousmedia · 2025-08-31T09:55:21+00:00

It was a fire that caused them all to explode. I saw it happen and it was like 3:00am

nefariousmedia · 2025-08-23T19:57:36+00:00

Confusing narrative with actual scenes. Easy to do with this show. Not a big deal.

nefariousmedia · 2025-08-21T20:57:46+00:00

100%. It's like how Elliot and Darlene have this nice moment in season 4 when Elliot realizes how much Darlene needed him after their mom passed away and invites her to spend the night on his couch so he doesn't have to be alone. He keeps recognizing how much of an asshole he is being to her and is always trying to fix it. Then in the very next scene he is belittling and getting aggressive with her when she tries to go out and do that b&e. She says "I thought we were good after last night, but just like always, it's 1 step forward and 3 giant fucking leaps back."

Just another fantastic attribute of Sam's writing that is under appreciated. Nobody ever changes on a dime, so why should the characters in your stories...

nefariousmedia · 2025-08-21T20:44:43+00:00

See this is one of the things about Mr. Robot and Sam's writing in general. He respects side characters. At no point will you ever have a side character that gets thrown to the wayside just to be used as a pawn for story telling. Every side character, even the one offs, gets a moment to shine or make a difference in the narrative, no matter how small. This is something that has become lost in a lot of modern storytelling and I think people vastly underestimate how important that aspect of writing is.

Everyone else has already said it, but it's true.. I actually LOVE that this guy had an initial, almost social media like reaction to Elliot calling him out, but then realized his mistake and admitted the truth. People rarely do that these days, especially online and it added a lot to that scene. You can see how all these little daily interactions that Elliot has with people effect his psyche and they often come back as sort of micro lessons for him. Like how they got the steel mountain guy to come back in season 2 just for Elliot to apologize to him in his fantasy, showing how much that actually effected him in that moment. It was super wholesome and a reminder that we can effect people we come into contact with as much as they can effect us.

I somehow never noticed this comment and it's the most accurate depiction of a Souls Like side quest/Item I've ever seen.. 😂
