    To add, give me some way of tracking these collectables.

    If I’ve collected all of the trinkets in a given area, mark that area in some way. If there are 100 trinkets, number them and give me a list. Give me a map, hints, thing that beeps, something.

    I don’t need any of the above to be unlocked from the start. You can add it in the post game or after I’ve collected some percentage of them or make it a side quest.

    It’s annoying going online and someone has posted “I found 99 of 100 things, where else to look?” and basically no one can help them. It’s annoying being that person, to be so close and yet so far.


  • So technically, in this specific instance, Trump Mobile isn’t run by Donald Trump. It’s instead a separate company run by Don Jr and Eric Trump. That company is then licensing the “Trump” name from The Trump Organization.

    Now The Trump Organization is owned by Donald Trump, although officially run by Don Jr, Eric, etc.

    But you’re absolutely right that all of this is bullshit. It’s also why Trump is so pissed at New York AG Letitia James for investigating and uncovering all sorts of shady business practices.

    You’re absolutely right that Congress should be doing something about it.












  • Paul took the clips in stride, initially putting on a grave voice and decrying that “this AI is getting out of hand,” only to buy into the trend by acting camp in a response video posted to TikTok on Monday.

    Proof? That video response sounds like AI.

    But his girlfriend, Dutch professional speed skater Jutta Leerdam, wasn’t impressed. “I don’t like it, it’s not funny!” she told him in a video. “People believe it.”

    Proof? That video sounds fake. Maybe this is all a ruse by the girlfriend to slander Jake Paul.

    I don’t actually believe that, but this article is written based on videos uploaded to TikTok, there is no proof any of the events described took place.

    Things are about to get much worse.


  • Wouldn’t that depend on what you’re watching?

    You can watch reality TV on YouTube, or traditional television.

    You can watch educational content and documentaries on YouTube, or traditional television.

    Hell you can watch some traditional TV shows on YouTube or traditional television.

    YouTube is just a platform for hosting content. Now they may have a “better” algorithm compared to traditional television, but that doesn’t really change much.





  • It took Silksong coming out for me to identify why I wasn’t a fan of Hollow Knight, and it’s touched on in this video.

    It’s the runback.

    The Dark Souls series of games have the same “problem”, and it’s why I don’t enjoy them either.

    I’m a huge fan of Celeste, Super Meat Boy, the Ori series. When I fail at these games, I’m right back in the action.

    I’m not against having to learn boss patterns, I really enjoyed Cuphead because after I’ve failed I’m right back in the action.

    And while it’s an easier game by comparison, Shovel Knight was a fun game. The checkpoints were plentifully and I could increase the difficulty by destroying them.

    But when I played Hollow Knight I reached a point where I was just running to the boss and dying. Then again. And again. And again. I wasn’t getting better. And the time it took to get back just took too long and wasn’t fun. It wasn’t a rage quit. I was having fun at one point… But then the game wore me down and eventually it wasn’t.

    I don’t think the game needs to change. Although I think adding difficultly modifiers would be a good idea. I played through Metroid Dread on normal difficulty and after beating it was having so much fun I immediately played it again on Hard difficulty. If there were a mode with more checkpoints in Hollow Knight and Silksong I might give them a shot.
