I only just started playing for the first time last week or 2 weeks ago, that mantis boss was tough but i managed it after many attempts. Each time i returned i played better. Little tip for you, in the arena, before starting the fight, wall climb up the left hand wall and attack upwards at the ceiling a few times and a hole opens with those blue blobs that give you temporary extra hit points. They respawn if you die so you can always start the fight with a few extra hits.
Only other tip is remain calm and the fight will feel slower.

Have you played the fist one? I had it as a free game on psn for ages but never played it. Gave it a go last week (didnt even know about silksong or anything about the game other than the genre) and was immediately hooked. I’ve played every day since then and am nearly at the end. I’m now very hyped to complete and buy silksong.
Regardless, I understand your comment. People get excited about good games. Genre, art style, or how many D’s its got doesn’t make a difference if the game has substance. Fun isn’t bound to genre.

I see what you mean. Yeah, the internet was a better place back then.
I was coming from more of a stance of the tech behind the internet.
When someone could ruin my game of ultima online by picking up the phone.
When niche message boards existed and msn messenger was how i spoke to my friends.

That was 2006. Youtube came out december 15th 2005. Facebook became available to general public in september 2006.
Look, hsres a graph
2005 was roughly the end of the internet dark ages, but it was barely different to the 90s.

2005 was essentially the 90s. People were still talking about the matrix, playing n64 and ps1, barely anyone had a mobile phone and most internet connections were still dial up.

- Comment on Metal genres 6 days ago:
I think its fair to say i have a favourite genre, or multiple favourites, but that is no longer exclusive or exclusionary. All music is welcome, i will no longer judge a song by its genre.
I attribute the change to having different social groups in my life. When i was in school i was into rock and thwn metal and that was pretty much the only thing i liked. Later i got in with a crowd that was more into techno, dnb, dubstep, house, minimal etc and grew to appreciate it, around the same time i was playing in bands and learning the blues, and got into jazz more recently. Always liked classical because of my piano lessons when i was young. It opened my mind up to so much more.
Except pop :)
- Comment on Metal genres 6 days ago:
I used to be one or some or all of these.
But some time in the 2010s, or rather over the course of the last 10-15 years, i stopped listening to music by genre and started listening to music by what made me feel good. Like, my phone is filled with music from so many different genres now i can’t really call myself anything in terms of music subculture. I’m a music “generalist”? I listen to anything that sounds good to me and don’t cut myself off from any genre just because it is said genre.
Except pop.
fuck pop.

Monogamy is a preference on a spectrum, and if you aren’t into it, then that’s fine. But dont throw shade on the most commonly practised form of relationship like you are somehow above it. It just makes you look pretentious and honestly a little bit sad.

It feels to me that at some point, we will just need to do away with all categories. At what point does it stop being useful to keep putting labels on points on a possibly infinite spectrum?
Would it be better to just push for acceptance in all forms? Forget the labels and just be yourself and accept others for who they are? (Barring, of course, people who are evil or criminal, etc)
My personal experience has been one of:i am sure of my sexuality but unsure of my gender. Eventually, i decided that I wouldn’t focus on what gender i am since i dont fit into the main categories. i will just be my own category and enjoy my life the way i want to live it.
I didn’t need a label to feel secure about that.
Man was enough, and straight was enough to make things easier for me and others. even though i am not quite man and not quite straight. I fit nicely into neither category, but both are close enough that i am content to just say that rather than have to explain myself to everyone i meet.
Anyone who knows me or gets to know me will know who and what i am eventually.
- Comment on Too many non-working holidays in America. 2 months ago:
I’ve been meaning to ask how donald trump intends to “make america great again” when it stopped being “great” shortly after he became president.
You cant make it worse on purpose and then make it better again and say “see! I made it great again”
But i suppose he did do that with the price of eggs.

- Comment on There's a noticable influx of trans kids in my job. Are there any topics I should avoid or considerations I should take into account when training them? 3 months ago:
I can’t speak for trans people, but i would expect that the best course of action is to be yourself and dont mock anyone. You can rib and have a laugh, but dont open with a whole script of trans jokes. Get to k ow them, like you would with anyone and learn the boundaries naturally. If you think of them as different, you will be on edge the whole time and are more likely to mess up.
If you make any mistakes, just be sure to apologise, and i am sure any of them would understand. Ultimately, as far as i understand it, trans people just want to be accepted and allowed to be them selves and be a part of society. The only way that happens is if we dont treat them differently, whether thans positively or negatively.
