  • This feels like an interesting gambit from the PVV. I imagine their campaign will largely consist of pointing to their coalition allies as the source of their failure to pass some of their insane immigration “reforms,” and are hoping to pick up even more seats in the election.

    Of course, this could also backfire tremendously. It feels like these days, whether a country falls centrist or fash is more like a coin flip. If the Dutch citizens are looking at the shitshow that currently is the U.S. government, they might feel like Wilders and the PVV had their time and choose normalcy. Another big election for the future of Europe.
















  • Tbh, even if you have a gun, your odds are not 100%. You’re firing at essentially a biological tank, small caliber fire might cause pain and eventually kill a polar bear with non-vital shots, but it’s not going to stop one barreling down on you.

    Realistically, you need to be a decent enough marksmen to aim for a vital point, all while making your will saves because a giant monster is charging you. I’m pretty sure most humans are still fucked.



  • Oh absolutely it is a big departure, but I honestly think Sekiro would be a worse game if it was all classic 1v1s with swordsmen. I appreciate that bosses like the Guardian Ape, the Long-Arm Centipedes, and even Demon of Hatred are there specifically to feel different and offer up some more varied fights.

    Honestly the biggest issue I have with the beast type fights is just that they kinda get overused. Two apes, two bulls, two giants, two long-arm centipedes. The first time you fight them, it’s cool to have a new, different challenge to overcome. The second time, it always just feels like you’re going through the motions, because now you should know that you can parry basically everything they throw at you.


  • Yeah I know about the centipedes, I’ve had roommates that used some in the past.

    The big issue is that I have really bad arachnophobia, so the bug I care the most about getting rid of is spiders. just seeing one causes me to freeze and start panicking. The spiders here are harmless, but try telling that to my dumb brain. It’s not even like I see them that frequently, but seeing just one ruins my week because I get paranoid that there are more I’m not seeing.
