Turquoise passport makes me jealous. Dark green also looks great.

You say this, but I have met MLs (not on lemmy) who tout the DPRK as a utopia and shut down all of my criticism as western brainwashing.

I feel both our perspectives are anecdotal and the real answer lies between our observations.

The point is to call rape what it is, and not some softened passivized version to downplay the severity of rape.

We know there’s a distinction, and nobody is denying that.

People are impressed that there are no ANALs, but considering that all ALANs are around the border, the only conscious decisions past that point were the four letters in the center.

It’s not really that impressive.

It’s also frustrating to engage in such conversations when trying to include nuance invites others to use the idea of a nuanced view to insert some insane, irrelevant argument.

There are a ton of Korean pancakes. Haemul pajeon, pajeon, kimchi jeon, gamja jeon, yuk jeon, bindaetteok, hotteok, buchimgae, etc.

All of them are tasty too, and lots of meatless and/or shellfish-less options.

So it’s going to be ridiculously difficult if I bring my chapter 9 gear into the DLC? I have an old save backup set right before starting NG+, perhaps I should just roll it back and use that one?

I do love a good challenge, as I’ve also been working on an SL1 no-summons run in Elden Ring over the last couple years (slowly). But I also don’t have the same amount of time to just throw myself at a problem nowadays.

Aw man I wish I had replied sooner. Pro tip for killing the Night guys on the horses, they only have one or two moves that can target to the horse’s left side. Do with that what you will.

Bloodhound’s Step is your friend :)

Wrong Warp is a thousand times easier. But watching my guy die to the elevator fall 20 times before he gets thrown sideways mid-mid-air-punch and then get back up like nothing happened is a thousand times funnier.

Divine Bridge Skip:

There is a teleporter in Elden Ring base game that leaves from an early game area (weeping peninsula) and goes to the top of a giant elevator in Leyndell. However, the elevator is inoperable from the top, and there’s no legitimate way to get down safely, so it’s supposed to be a sneak peek dead end.

If you equip a physick flask that makes you blow up after a delay, drink it, fall down the elevator shaft, and attack in midair right before exploding, the attack+explode resets your fall height value, and you can survive the drop. With this method you can access Leyndell much earlier than intended.

I learned to do it and got it a couple times in a row once, but it’s not really worth doing. I still try it a few times every time I start a run, mostly because I like to run around Leyndell and grab some early items.
