My local library growing up had weekly children's book readings. Basically, a volunteer comes in and reads a couple books to a roomful of kids.

If anyone resonates with this green text, it could be worth checking if your local library has a similar program. Or even ask about starting your own

save it for later

I beat Dark Souls 3 this week and I hoarded embers the whole way. I had a stack of 60 by the time I got to Midir and Gael. I did finally crack into them when I realized that they were the only 2 bosses I had left. So, baby steps I guess

What's up with people on the piracy subreddit always talking about how they pay for stuff. your on a piracy community and they talk about purchasing digital goods? I don't get it. New piracy gen ?

Sometimes it's just about ease of access. I'm happy to pay for games but it's often harder to track down legal copies of retro or delisted games than it is to find a torrent.

And a number of the files you find on torrent sites were uploaded by someone who bought the content legally. Torrenting is just peer-to-peer file sharing, someone has to acquire the first copy somehow

Armored Core VI Fires Of Rubicon - Patch Notes 1.04

Reply in thread

I hit a couple walls like that but I had fun with this game. I appreciate that it encouraged me to rework my build to fit the mission or encounter.

In the souls series and the like, you're encouraged (and somewhat forced) to pick a build and commit to it. Gear is expensive to upgrade, many of the best weapons have high stat requirements, and respecs are limited.

With Armored Core I felt like they wanted me to constantly rebuild my mech. They're pretty generous with the currency so I was able to build up a huge stock of parts without much trouble. They also give the option to rework your mech whenever you die. If a boss gave me trouble I could usually pivot without restarting the whole mission
