After 4 years of making only one video about Dark Souls 3 and then not turning it properly into a series, today I'm righting that wrong!
Dark Souls 3 Dissected is back with a brand new episode about its Invisible Walls and weird collisions!

Oh boy, another possible Souls misconception popped up. It appears to be way more popular than I previously knew, and it's relevant to the videos I'm working on!

"You can't fight back because that's what he wants" is another example of Democrats being huge losers who are inadequate opposition to facism.
The messaging doesn't need to be anything other than:
We will prosecute everyone, at all levels, involved with human rights abuses and we will abolish ICE.

The final phase of this particular exercise will be to shift the hi-hat stomp to beats 1 and 3, and then seamlessly alternate between the two patterns. Just to sort of force myself to get comfy turning the beat around with my left foot and not get too locked in to stomping on 2 and 4 only.

That Alt National Park account is very suspicious and surely some kind of resistance grifter.
Using the framing of "these are anonymous federal employees speaking out" was a clever hook, but the manner of posting is very weird and disingenuous.

There's some very careful word replacement in AltNPS's post, but it's definitely ripped from Ben Weiser's update in the NYT live thread.

Anyone with Dark Souls 1 Remastered on PC or Playstation, who has a character in possession of a Red Sign Soapstone, wanna get summoned into my game?
It's for a video I'm working on. I need a hostile player in Blighttown, and it's not for the reason you think (or maybe it is?).

Having worked at a video rental store in ~2008, I can vouch for being able to watch the term "VCR" largely disappear, in real time, from the collective conscious of society.
We still offered to rent out tapes (had an old archive in the back), for things we didn't have on DVD, so I got to see...

As whatever kind of technological historian I am, the reason it's important to me to keep the term VCR alive is that these devices could record TV shows.
Home video was not simply relegated to renting movies or purchasing your own tapes to build a library. You could record stuff from TV.

Twitter is the world’s largest generator of CSAM & non-consensual porn by a margin of about 8000%, and somehow… MSM isn’t even reporting on it.
(also includes advice for reporting ‘deepfake harassment’ to police if it escalates to a point where restraining order is necessary)

I'm too lazy to do it myself but a blocklist for everyone sharing AI "unmasked" images of the murderous ICE thug would be nice.
It's such a wildly irresponsible and dumb thing to do. People saying "find him" while posting him with randomly generated faces is so stupid I don't know where to begin.

Looking forward to a future where someone saying they're a former ICE agent will be a widespread mark of shame.
They'll be unwelcome in civil society. It's something they'll want to hide from their neighbors, coworkers, extended family, etc, because people will rightfully hate them for it.

Btw during Return to Lordran, I've been secretly spamming the network with a lot of Vagrants. A ton on PS and some on PC as well.
Over 100 players got a Good Vagrant here in Ash Lake, possibly without even realizing it. Just one of many examples. This is (likely) one of my own that came back to me.
