What's almost clever about this: he has established complaining about games allowing free choices of gender/pronouns/etc as well as about games gender locking roles (locking you into a manly man character is of course fine). This way he can always complain as soon as any character isn't a dude.

Faschismus muss sich nicht durchsetzen.
Er kann aufgehalten und besiegt werden, es gibt Beispiele, in denen genau das gelungen ist.
Momentan scheint es sehr schwer, sich eine bessere Zukunft vorzustellen, aber sie ist möglich. Es liegt an uns, sie zu erkämpfen.

At the Battle of Cable Street on 4 October 1936, at least 100,000 people, including Jewish residents, Irish dock workers, Communists and Labour Party members prevented a march by Oswald Mosley’s British Union of Fascists (BUF) from passing through the East End...

The last fight took me quite a bit longer than I expected. I ran out of shards and ended up killing her with only the needle.

Overall a great game with a few hiccups in when it came to pacing, buildcraft and rewards, but outstanding exploration, combat and env. storytelling.

Erste Dyson Sphere im #deutschenWeltraum, wann? 🙃

radow @radow.bsky.social · 14d

Die sind ja wirklich völlig besoffen.

Tagesschau Artikel Auszug: Des weiteren soll ein Aktionsplan den Weg zu einem Kernfusionsreaktor in Deutschland Ebenen. In dem vom Forschungsministerium vorgelegten plan wird das Ziel bekräftigt, den ersten Fusionsreaktor der Welt in Deutschland zu bauen.

Was heißt denn "setzt auf"? Ist das einfach Geld für Forschung oder planen sie wirklich mit einem Fusionsreaktor in der BRD in den nächsten 20 Jahren? 😂

Almost.

There is only one solution to those that doesnt involve tears.

The amount of times I have taken damage because I dashed/harpooned over an enemy, intending to turn around and hit the enemy, but instead hit in the dash direction, causing me to back into the boss because I didnt get the knockback from hitting them is getting out of hand.

radow @radow.bsky.social · 24d

For a character that moves so quickly hornets turn is really slow.

radow @radow.bsky.social · 24d

Im now neck deep in act 3 of silk song and I'm enjoying it imensly, but there is one thing that has been frustrating me and it gets worse with every new boss that requires somewhat quick reactions:

Faschismus.

I wish I could say it only took me 2 hours 😅
But I really like the parts of the biom it opens up.

Looks like my gamepad has been taking double damage too 👀

Found a proper platforming area =D

Sister Splinter is my favorite bossfight so far.

Like the previous bosses her moves are well telegraphed, few in number and easy to understand.

She does add in what made the arena sections so much harder than the earlier bosses though: giving you multiple foes to juggle. Reminiscent of DS2!

radow @radow.bsky.social · Sep 6

If you attack them from above the timing is much more forgiving. They can block but don't really have any move to retaliate.
Much easier with crests that can attack straight down.

The game went totally smooth for me until I hit that arena.
Tried it 20+ times without success.
I've now finished 3 or 4 more areas and come back a couple of times. Still struggling with particular fight :D

This booth has some very subtle messaging?
