I mean, that's the point of Dune? The 'prophesies' aren't real, they're seeded by the Bene Gesserit, the same group that spent millennia breeding the 'savior'. And, he's not meant to really be a savior, but their catspaw.
But also, he's definitely not actually a savior, on account of all the death he brings. It's complicated, but overall a deconstruction of white savior narratives and similar stories.
Yeah, I'm holding off for a sale on this one. I liked Elden Ring well enough, but the performance issues are infuriating. Baffling that it still isn't fixed.
I'm not gonna dunk on stuff others likezbut personally, Sekiro's really been the only samurai/shinobi game I've liked.
I don't care for it. It does some interesting things, in base building. But having played it a lot mostly because my friend group likes it, it's very janky. It does not feel close to 1.0. And, while there's some fun to be had, everything outside the horde nights just feels like busywork in a way I didn't feel with Valheim or Grounded.
Short answer: read Jack Vance's 'tales of a dying earth'. It's the reason dnd magic is called 'vancian'.
Longer answer: in that series, magic works by just remembering words, and then saying them. But these magic words are powerful things, weighty in the mind, hard to carry. And, when said, they tear themselves out of your mind, causing you to forget them.
So, not 'spell slots' per se, but the idea is you're prepping spells almost as a 'potion', something you carry in your mind, and consume to cast out a spell.
What, the open world genre? Maybe Elden Ring, but tbh it would have been better had it not been open world.
I just don't really get BotW and TotK, and fwiw, I am that, 'played emulated with settings pumped for free' person. They both just seem so repetitive, worth like, 5 hours of fun.
Edit: to be clear, I did not turn off item durability or change any game mechanics, just resolution and fps. Item durability is a crutch the game relies of for balance, andnits annoying, but isn't related to the central complaint I have: game is repetative. So much is just, same kind of luzzle again, same kind of fight again, and no cool rewards that don't break. I don't get what the appeal is.
This sounds like textbook paranoid schizophrenia. The comments about 'downloading' into her body and tingling/tremors/shocks are all very common. I feel bad for her, and also fuck those 'spiritualists' who have already taken $8000 from her.
Big disagree about burgers and jerky.
Those beyond/impossible meats are fine I guess, but they're not good. Weird taste, long lingering aftertaste. Solid C+ in my opinion.
While I prefer vegan jerky actually. That super tough peppery gluten jerky (pleather brand is what I've been getting) is great, as are the softer soy or mushroom jerkies. They are different, so no shade if you don't like them, but there's no tier for 'you can tell the difference, and they taste better'.
Nuggets idk much about, as I'm not really a fan. Same with mayo.
Milk is another one where oat milk is better tasting than dairy milk imo.
agree about cheese generally. I can't have nuts, so I've never had cashew queso, but that queso you can make with potatoes and carrots, while sounding weird, is actually pretty great. Maybe A- tier imo.
If you're looking for cheap, dried beans are about 1/2-1/3 the price per serving over canned.
They are more work, needing either a long boil, overnight soak in water, or a pressure cooker. But the cost saving is enough for me to buy mostly dried beans.
You're welcome to it then. Quorn is fine, and I do like diversifying food sources; mycoprotein is good.
But tbh, I like soy because its pretty lightly processed. Tofu can be made at home easily, with nothing beyond tools, water, and vinegar. And if you don't like tofu, that's fine, but its my 'meat' of choice.
Seitan is my second favorite, and again, its pretty easy to make at home; only water and flour is needed.
I do eat quorn sometimes, but not often. And while mycoprotein is cool as a meat substitute, I feel like just eating mushrooms is a better choice for most dishes.
Also, article skips over the chemical part of this: Vitriol, the name for the impure sulfuric acid they used, was green (due to some iron and cupper sulfates). You can use sulfuric acid to purify gold; it'll dissolve the silver and copper in a gold alloy, but not the gold itself, giving you 100% gold.
However, the green lion can also 'ascend' by combing with nitric acid to make aqua regia, where it can dissolve gold, "devouring it".
I'm talking about the stuttering, caused primarily not recalculating shaders. Something I just dealt with the entirety of my first playthrough of ER. But the fact that it still isn't fixed really makes me not want to play, or to pay them money.
