The weaponized Passive Aggression in this post is so dangerous and a threat to national security that the Government is threatening to cordon off this entire Forum section and declare it Top Secret.
 

Dark Souls 3, at level 1, DONE.
 

 

 
 
 
That's Dark souls 1, 2, and 3 all completed without leveling a single stat. 
 
GET. FUCKED.
 
 
 
 

Soul Level 1 run completed. 
 
Proof.
 

 
 
 

 

 
GET FUCKED GWYNN. TRYING TO TROLL ME AND SHIT. EAT MY CLUB.

There's always youtube!
 
I found this explanation of how to get through Anor Londo to be particularly helpful. 

Found some Upper Cambrian trilobites for the folks for Christmas 

And you know this because...
 
HmmmmmmmmmmmmMMMMMMMMMMMMM

I'm still coming back after a nasty collarbone break. But I got out and did some hiking near where I work today. 
 
 

 
 

 
 
Last picture is looking West. 

So here's the deal.
 
Dark souls remastered is fucking insulting. 
 
not only did they kill the entire DS1 playerbase by removing the original game from Steam, they forced people who already had the game to buy it if they wanted the "remastered" edition. Which was just a shitty vis-mod with a 60 FPS patch!

Did you know who DIDN'T charge customers for a game they already head? FUCKING BETHESDA!
 
The biggest slap in the face? The PC DS1 port was so shitty that a 60fps fix was implemented by a modder 27 minutes after it released. 
 
And then Fromsoft tried to sue that guy. With very little success. 
 
 
 
This is when I basically gave up on Fromsoft. 
 
The first problem was when they started balancing items around PvP, instead of just giving them separate PvP stats. I have a TON of critiques but don't feel like penning them all right now. The above video is a good one. 

Had a solid day at Gore today, bit annoyed that some of the stuff they said was going to open didn't. Snow was pretty good quality though, and they're working pretty hard at making more (did run into the problem of skiing on a trail with ongoing snowmaking and having my goggles ice up pretty bad).
 
Did run into the problem of having people in the group with different stamina/skill levels. Our group of 7 people ended up split into 2 or 3 groups the whole day.

You can buy a licensed hunting carbine conversion of a DP machinegun, compared to that a Mosin doesn't seem so interesting

Young Oregonians fight to buy guns, ammo -- and sue when they’re denied

Oregon courts and state regulators have been asked to rule on the legalities of policies enacted by major retailers in the weeks after the mass shooting in Parkland, Florida, on Feb. 14. Seventeen students and staff died after a 19-year-old former student opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
 
 

Did you know that not only was the AK copied from the Stg, but the Mosin is actually just a Mauser?

"Western Europe is part of the free world"
"Hate speech laws are OK and aren't a slippery slope ripe for abuse"
 
Guy states that some EU countries are set to sign a non-binding agreement on expanding hate speech legislation, especially in regards to criticism towards EU immigration policies.  When the EU first came to be, they probably should have gone for something that doesn't sound so much like "Soviet Union".  What a shitshow

And naturally no movie theaters near me are showing it.

The US taxpayer being shafted for $11 billion was TOTALLY worth it for this

Chevrolet spokesperson clarified that the Silverado did not actually "break down" per se. According to the company rep, the Silverado's driver had to turn off the engine while the truck was stationary at the blue line—understandable, since running a hot, internally combusted V-8 in one place, over ice for too long probably isn't ideal. When the truck was restarted, the driver then accidentally accepted a software update, rendering it immobile for the next several minutes. Once the update was done, the Silverado drove off the ice problem-free.

Late to comment, but one Big Sandy at a post shoot campfire, we had a trio of very nice Brit shooters announce that "Oh after this we are going to spend tomorrow driving through Texas. (From basically Kingman, Arizona).
 
Yeah, there was a moment of silence.
 
"Y'all are not serious, Raight?"  (Asked the obvious Texan).
 
They were.
They thought they could leave the shoot, drive through 2/3 of Arizona, all of New Mexico, and sightsee Texas, In a day.
 
It actually took a couple hours to convince them that "No we are not fucking with you, unless you magically rent a B57, and say "fuck the fuel" ,it ain't happening".

This isn't new news, or really hard hitting news, but for Americans my age who watched TV, it's pretty weird.
 

 
 
I thought this was just some bullshit meme shit. 
 
But nope. He's got permanent memory loss.
