People wanting "good" combat in a Silent Hill game are completely missing the point which is that you aren't supposed to feel powerful. Like it's clunky/rough the way it is to create a sort of feeling of disempowerment, fighting being a tool of last resort. It leans more on horror of survival-horror

You'd think the lesson people would take away from recent events is "give Nazis an inch and they'll take a mile" but apparently fielding obvious Nazi troll shit is fine by this guy.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Good riddance.

mug-of-beans on tumblr states: ""The old magic persists thanks to it's unfathomable power."

No, the old magic persists because the new magic can't run the legacy spells I need to do my job, and keeps trying to install spirits I don't want or need onto my orb."

aqueerkettleofish adds: "Look, if the new magic didn't have a personality construct that kept trying to tell me which spell to use, maybe I wouldn't still be using the old magic."

I've achieved a real milestone today. I've deleted a YouTube comment for the first time.

finally some normal fucking people on reddit

A reddit post in r/mildlyinteresting titled: "I add a layer of paint to this quarter whenever I’m in a meeting". The associated picture shows a rounded conical glob of blueish white paint on top of a yellow kraft paper square, with a paint-riter+ pen behind it, on a desk.

A comment by the author of the post named "nominyomom":

Some information:
- The coin has been in progress since February 2025.
- Daily standup is the biggest contributor.
- Engineering at Big Tech is 90% figuring out what everyone is doing.
- I’ve emptied 2.75 Markal Paint-Ritter+ pens.
- I also add colors with Expo and Sharpies but those don’t add much thickness.
- The paint blob never fully dries, it takes fingerprints very well and sags due to gravity and surface tension
- If it ever gets misshapen, I add a bunch of the paint, it softens up and surface tension pulls it back into symmetry.
- The quarter is a State Quarter, but I have forgotten which state.
- if the meeting is especially useless, I lift it to my nose and take nice big whiffs.

The Tower Knight is a whatever fight, but not a single Soulsborne game has every had the sheer balls to do anything nearly as dogshit as its theme ever again. HA HA HA HA HA.

Yeah I think I'm done with Silksong. The ramped up difficulty, the constantly needing to (for me) refight the bosses, the subweapons needing currency, and the dogshit runbacks have really soured me on the experience. I think I'm gonna shelf it because I'm feeling the burnout and just not having fun.
