I saw this tweet in my feed and had to do a double take
"Tommy Wiseau?  Who gave this guy money to cook again?  This has to be a joke"  Then I clicked on the youtube link. 
BRUH....The fuckin actual trailer wasn't bad enough then he hits you with what is a half minute ad for his brand of underwear!?
 

I think most people play Custom mode but while it's fun to tune the game to your specs, I find myself get more neurotic about keeping whatever weapons I've started with, especially if it's a Survival weapon. Then I end up in the position of doing too little damage late game which makes the boss fights really tough because I'm only just scratching them. Normal mode I just take what I can get and
 
I did a Brutality run and went the Dracula route, but I was able to get through the whole game with the Whip Sword, but wound up unlocking heavy crossbow right before Dracula so I gave him the business with that

and of course, Lauren hit us off with more as well:
 

whoah hold on now... Cyael just mentioned this briefly in a recent vid I was watching so I had to look it up....

Arkane Studios, the developer behind the vampire shooter Redfall, has announced its commitment to removing the game’s always-online requirement for single-player mode. This decision came after players raised concerns over the restriction, initially designed to help the developer understand player experiences and improve gameplay.
I'm genuinely shocked here

 
I had already given up all hope and assumed we're firmly in this era of "yeah fuck the customers; we can just do whatever BS we want and they'll buy the shit anyway."
 
The first one I noticed was V-Rising; it was previously online-only but they pushed an update that changed that restriction...apparently Back 4 Blood did the same thing.  I would've considered any hopes of companies changing course on this shit to be a lost cause, but apparently not.

It's unreal to me that in 2023 how any company would think an always online single player experience makes any kind of sense.

Oh yeah... more of that cutie doing yoga:
 

ha, first time playing Dead Cells on 5C difficulty has been some crazy/awesome shit...  normal enemies on this mode can transform into elite versions...and you gradually become more infected with the "malaise" as time goes on.... in addition to most enemies being able to teleport which is from 4C difficulty.  Oh yeah, I'm glad to finally make it into the "True" insanity of Dead Cells here.  
 
I still prefer to just go on with whatever random weapons and items the game starts me with, btw... at least most of the time.  I think most fans like to set the exact parameters like starting with their specific favorite items, guaranteed.  *sometimes* I'm in that mood but not usually.  I enjoy the randomness of trying to run with whatever pops up like "ok...so this is what we're starting with...let's see what happens here.."

Dead Cells-- pc version..
 
So this latest 4C run...I had it SO good... such a great setup; 20+ points on Tactics, but the critical thing was the amulet... I had one of those that has invisibility as an affix!  I think they made that rare for good reason, because it's obviously easy-mode.  You can just walk around the enemies and they have no idea what's up.  Well, of course it still went to shit though--- in Slumbering Sanctuary, I made the mistake of trying to kill an elite Ravager.  By himself, that dude would have been no problem to kill, but somehow a golem also got alerted and started fighting me.  A golem + an elite ravager = Game Over, easily.  There's no way.  Really, golems + anything is a potential game ender...that's just how dangerous it is; actually I'd go so far as to say the "golem" in Dead Cells is one of the most dangerous "regular enemies" in the recent history of gaming.  I should have killed that before sneaking up to the Ravager.
 
Invisibility + any setup is just godmode though... and of course your curse situations will be easy too, since you can walk up to enemies while invisible and insta-kill them if your stats are high enough on 1 thing.  I had the blow-dart gun that critical hits enemies in the back, and the fire-breathing ability like Yoga Fire as my other main attack... with a sinew slicer and the cannon from the pirate ship-related dlc.  If I didn't mess up here, this run would've been an easy win.

Imagine losing your whole career over a bullshit accusation.  That's why I was hesitant to pass judgement on Roiland.  I've had a few friends get divorced and they all got accused of ridiculous bullshit.

So... a bit more news and info about that murderous "future Deebo"  little piece of shit that shot at his teacher:
Imagine how much worse that kid will be once he's a teenager.  I'm sure he'll rack up an interesting list of crimes before he hits 21 years old.

It's funny to look at some of my posts back before I quit drinking. I was such a shit poster. You basically couldn't take anything I said very seriously most of the time. It's crazy how different that is now.

Why the hell was Tekashi 69 in a gym wearing a bubble jacket and booty shorts? I'm more perplexed by that than the asswhoopin

At least they didn't give him Roku or Tubi 😂

Oddly enough I'd feel safer driving a motorcycle than riding a horse.  It's just a natural instinct to keep a safe distance from large, potentially dangerous animals.... I went to a horse farm in Kentucky once (this was Dad's idea; I never would've went on my own), and I just kept thinking there's no way; I'm just fine as long as they're on the other side of the fence there.  You can never be 100% sure what an animal is going to do in the next few seconds.... better to be safe than sorry.  No one wants to learn the Christopher Reeve lesson the hard way.
 
ha, that reminds me I used to record all those "When Animals Attack" shows on Fox back in the 90s...  it was always hilarious to see people "learning the hard way".  
That story of the legendary Travis the Chimp was a good one too--- there's no way I would've gone to a friend's house to help with their chimp that is currently off his meds...hell nah you're on your own with that problem, bruh.  Travis literally tore that woman's face off.
