Just different enough to break your rc files when you try to migrate :)

DS3, ashes of ariandel. I’d gotten invaded and brutalized a couple times in/around the bug basement and had no clue where I was supposed to go. Another invader showed up after I’d cleared a lot of the area; not wanting to lose my progress again, I branched into a box and hid for a couple minutes waiting for him to get bored. He sprinted straight past me a couple times before stopping near where I was hiding. I was sick of coward gaming by this point so appeared and approached him. He gestured for me to follow, so I did, since we were in a horrible place for a fight. Instead of going to a good arena, he took me downstairs and pointed at the lever to progress the area, then vanished. The progression from exasperation at the invasion to giddiness as my stupid hiding spot kept working to gratitude as the phantom I thought had come to kill me instead released me from insect purgatory made the encounter of my favorite gaming memories.

Assuming you need to buy the product, taking on zero interest debt gives you greater liquidity that you can theoretically activate elsewhere to improve your cash flow. For the amounts and time scales of BNPL, though, I don’t entirely see the point.

…how is any of that a “problem?”

1. Never heard of it
2. Hashtags are stupid

Malenia is a Sekiro boss

Cant put my finger on it but this feels like AI

Edit: I looked closer, and the legs of the round table scream AI to me—either it’s AI or that table was designed and built by exceptionally inept children

Drivers hate cyclists because they’re in the way because they have no bike lanes because drivers hate cyclists because…

Fury Road was almost all practical effects

Well I hated Bloodborne (heresy, I know) so maybe that explains it lol

Oceiros. There’s nothing particularly interesting about the fight, the hitboxes all suck, the arena is claustrophobic and janky, but above all else that fucking noise he makes before you enter the fog makes me want to do horrible things to the fromsoft audio team.

The CR report is actually very measured in its takeaway from this:

There’s no reason to panic if you’ve been using any of the products we tested, or if you take protein supplements generally. Many of these powders are fine to have occasionally, and even those with the highest lead levels are far below the concentration needed to cause immediate harm. That said, because most people don’t actually need protein supplements—nutrition experts say the average American already gets plenty—it makes sense to ask whether these products are worth the added exposure.

It’s not that protein shakes will give you immediate lead poisoning; rather, the level of exposure is just high enough that chugging these things daily might be a problem, especially considering the negligible benefit. IMO this is a report that provides sane and relevant health advice for a very popular product.
