    It sure sounds like you would like it. I will say that for me, everything about the game is fantastic, except for the combat, which is kinda terrible. Especially the boss fights. Feels to me like they’re trying to mimic a souls-like style, but really really overshot on difficulty.

    Basically, I say go for it, but don’t hesitate to drop the difficulty settings, if you’re like me.

    Also, get yourself a physical notepad. Yeah, I kind of agree that if note-taking and such is intended as part of the game, there should be a venue to support that in-game, but there isn’t really.

    Also, also, don’t feel bad about having to look up some stuff for the really late/post-game puzzles. One thing they toom WELL from Dark Souls is the idea of puzzles that are really made to be solved by the collective wisdom of the community, not just you.

    Also, also, also, don’t disregard the language puzzle, completely. I did, and when I looked it up later, I wish I hadn’t I wish I’d at least have given it a shot, for myself.

    Good luck!


  • That’s the insidious part. People advocating for Biden to go on a crime spree are assuming that the Supreme Court is aiming to be consistent, and apply this ruling fairly to both parties. They’ve INTENTIONALLY left it unspecified what counts as an “official” act, so that any question that comes up just goes right back to them, and they can rule however they see fit. Also, people are assuming the Court won’t just directly contradict their own rulings, the moment it’s convenient. This entire thing just shows that the Court can and will give itself final say on any questions of law or policy, I.E. anything anyone in the government does. This doesn’t make the President a king, it makes the Court the king.



  • Absolutely. Like you say, it just doesn’t happen in large streams, and the threshold is probably a lot larger than you think, since on average maybe 10% of viewers actually participate in chat. The dynamic starts shifting at around 1,000 simultaneous viewers, in my experience, between chat being readable and interactable, and being just spam. That’s still plenty big enough to qualify for partner, and even make a living off of streaming alone.




  • Jordan Klepper makes a habit of angering MAGA supporters. The Daily Show correspondent, known for going into the field and asking Donald Trump’s diehard supporters hard questions and creating comedy out of their responses, shared how he pulls it out without getting his “ass kicked” by the crowd, some of whom are known for easily resorting to violence.

    In a sit down with Jon Stewart at a recent FYC event for Emmy voters, Klepper said that being a “white guy” is a big help—but he has even more protection than that.

    “Being a correspondent is one of the most difficult things you can do because you have to be versed in so many different things,” Stewart said, kicking off the discussion. “You can take on these certain characters that you play, usually the high status idiot or one of those types of things, or you go out in the field and you do improv scenes with people that don’t realize they’re in an improv scene.”

    Klepper interjects with an important distinction: “Armed—armed people who don’t realize,” he added, before sharing his secret to keeping ass free from kicking, as asked by moderator Matt Belloni. “Well, I have a couple things. One, I’m a white guy at a Trump rally. It helps.” On top of that, he added, “I’m a tall white guy.”

    An even bigger help though? He said he has ”four security guards” when he’s out interviewing MAGA supporters, which he admitted “is wild.”

    “I will say when we started doing this, going out in the field, you didn’t need a security guard because you were an improv teacher a week and a half ago,” he joked, “so the idea that somebody would want to kill you or murder you seemed asinine. And yet—here we are, walking into spaces to talk about politics with four armed guards, but that’s what comedy wants in 2024.”

    Klepper recently pow-wowed with MAGA immediately following both Trump and Hunter Biden’s guilty verdicts, where one loyal supporter said she’d donated thousands of dollars to Trump every time Trump he was found responsible for a crime. That same supporter said that she supported the ex-president because we “need to save our country from the border surge.”

    He then asked innocently whether she was “sick and tired of [her] money going to people who committed crimes,” as she responded, “That’s right”—a shining example of how Klepper’s able to combine his improv and correspondent skills to prove a point without inciting the mob.
