The rapist can get a weapon too and being raped at gunpoint isn't quite an improvement. You'll likely get shot before you can draw a gun of your own.

Ich frage mich immer ob Dialekt wirklich erhaltenswert ist. Hochdeutsch muss sowieso sein, hätte ich nur den Dialekt meiner Region gelernt würde ich heute damit in viele Probleme laufen, immerhin habe ich die Region schon lange verlassen. Und es ist kein Dialekt, den man einfach so ohne Probleme verstehen würde. Zumindest ich verstehe kein Wort, selbst wenn meine eigenen Eltern ihn ab und an nutzen.

Ich entsinne mich daran, dass ein Dialekt ähnliche Vorteile bietet, wie es eine weitere Sprache würde. Nur, warum dann nicht direkt eine Sprache lernen, welche im späteren Alltag nützlich sein könnte? Gerade Englisch ist überall und könnte stattdessen mehr gefördert werden.

Der kulturelle Aspekt ergibt theoretisch noch Sinn, mir ist allerdings noch kein kulturell besonders wertvolles Werk untergekommen, dass in Dialekt verfasst ist. Mag aber auch an mir liegen.

"Tradition stirbt": Hersteller verwenden kein FCKW mehr in Deodorants

"Tradition stirbt": Keine Dämmung mehr mit Asbest

"Tradition stirbt": Frauen dürfen wählen

Und vieles mehr - alles Dinge die mal üblich waren und dann aus gutem Grund behoben wurden. Selbiges hier, Schritt für Schritt.

Most weddings aren't even fun.

I surrender, this time around I didn't even know you could shorten William to Bill. Next up someone's telling me Donald is short for Ottobertifurz - honoring his fake german roots.

She's incredibly skilled, more than any of the people I actually watch doing something like this. However, I watch these for entertainment and she simply isn't speaking much. I get that you need to concentrate, so do a lot of other people, but they write a script afterwards and speak over their footage - that's painfully missing here.

I knew that Joe could be short for Joseph, it just never occured to me that you guys would address the president of all people with a short form.

That's the post I found out he's not literally named 'Joe'. Would be even more embarassing if I was american, but still.

I had a similar experience of first finishing the DLC and then going into God of War (2018). While not open world, it's the same type of AAA soup you get from most big studios. There are so many baffling design decisions, I cannot fathom why people love the game so much - the constant barrage of stories and small talk is the most engaging thing in there.

The combat is utterly boring. Increasing the difficulty only results in spongy enemies. Their move sets are boring at best and annoying at worst. They are all but helpless if you just keep them at a distance and throw your axe.

Even worse, your godly powers are cutscene only. If you don't want to make your game challanging, at least make a fun power fantasy and Kratos is perfect for that. He kills giant enemies, tears the very ground asunder and moves the heaviest objects imaginable. He even has super healing. None of which are tied to actual combat mechanics.

Upgrades are meaningless. Early on, you unlock a smith. I got my axe from 5 to 40 damage. Guess what? The very next enemy took the same amount of hits as the same type of enemy did before.

Traversing is mechanically boring. Climbing just means you gotta follow the yellow markings - press in the right direction or do the indicated button press. You literally cannot fall. Everything else is just walking from combat area to combat area.

The game throws an endless barrage of puzzles at you, none of which are engaging. They are so watered down, there's barely much more thinking involved than in climbing.

Even worse, major upgrades are placed in "puzzle" chests. The puzzle? Well, just walk around and rotate your camera for several minutes until you've found all three runes.

The game basically just feels like a very long cutscene with a lot of padding so you can press some buttons. You can play it just fine, but they removed everything that could make any one system interesting in favor of having nothing in there a player could be stuck at. I like the characters, but I'm better served just watching a cutscene compilation for the second one.

That's what happens if you only care about engagement. Chauvinism of any kind is liked by a certain amount of people and despised by the rest of us - both positions drive engagement.

I think of him as a stronger version of Rennala, who I'd call the least fun demigod. Both spam magic and teleport around while summoning crap.

However, I'd argue the worst fight is the gank fight just before the final boss. It's the only one I'd never even think about trying without doing any summoning myself. I probably could win eventually, but I don't think there's a second of enjoynent to be found here.

"only 60" - the depressing state of politics. There's a good amount of places where you'd retire before completing a single term at that age.

Seeing them side by side, the newer Microsoft logo sucks ass.

I've lived in both regions and both versions are strictly inferior to a potatoe salad based on mustard (+ oil and broth). The vinegar version uses a bit of mustard, but I'm speaking of mustard being the main ingredient. Naturally, I'm hated by both sides.

The way they censored the name is a new low point. Usually, you at least need to look for a few seconds, but this is just plain readable.

Respekt wenn sie schon damit wirbt von der Autoindustrie gekauft zu sein, andere Politiker warten mit solchen Aussagen bis nach der Wahl. E-Fuels sind doch nur der traurige Versuch unsere Autoindustrie am Leben zu erhalten nachdem wir Elektro komplett verkackt haben.

I never even thought about that, I usually stick to a single weapon per playthrough. I don't think I've ever used a sword.

Konsequent die schlechtesten Versionen genommen...

Just finished the Elden Ring DLC, which was overall still fun but felt overtuned at times. While I didn't use any summons throughout the base game and initially tried to keep it that way, some bosses simply weren't fun to learn anymore.

Afterwards I dove into my backlog and started God of War 2018. I had pretty high expectations, given how beloved it is. Honestly, it's fine at best - the combat is boring and the overall design can be summarized as AAA slob. Maybe it does get better, I'm not very far yet.

I didn't think you could modernize a whole book with one sentence, but here we are.
