They'll probably/hopefully be bought and saved, hopefully saving people's jobs, but damn if there's one guitar company that deserved to get shitcanned due to shitty practices and poor customer service, it's Gibson. Even big time musicians started dropping Gibson as an endorsement because they're divas to work with. Usually it's the other way around.

Sword and shield is nooby

You must be thinking of longsword, which 20% of the playerbase uses. SnS is one of the least popular weapons in the game.


Nooby doesn't mean the most uses. Pretty sure the Charge Blade is up there and that's because it's legitimately the best weapon in the game, and not nooby. S&s is just really easy to learn and basically has no complex mechanics.

I think a good stance to take here is that the solution may not come from less guns, as that's almost impossible to enforce without impeding on someone's civil liberties, but the solution definitely does not reside in more guns.

Is it impeding? Or is it stating that like other rights, there are limitations to what extent they may be acted upon? After all, the first amendment does not protect sacrificial rituals, even if they are limited to animals sacrifices. That's not impeding upon liberties, it is a ruling that arose so as to protect others from it who do not or can not consent to such a thing. The first amendment also has restrictions like libel, slander and no protections when intentionally using speech to incite violence.


Restricting further advancement of guns to the public, restricting sales to mentally ill or deficient, restricting certain purchases of certain types of goods, or things of that nature wouldn't be impeding imo. But actually physically taking away people's guns would. I'm not saying any rational agent is even putting forth that idea, but the pro gun rights activists sure as hell act like they are. Just wanted to get that out of the way in that post.

There's ways to make the monster not run away. Especially when they're weak. Remember to use your slinger. If they drop red ammo on the floor shoot them with it when they're dipping. They'll almost always stop and try to fight back. Also the early monsters shouldn't take you 30 minutes to beat other than the Anjanath. I hate to say it but you have to git gud.

This would be a reasonable thing to say if this were the first mass shooting in America's history. Unfortunately, there's been many and nothing has been done.

What do you mean "doing nothing"

Are you aware the homicide rate has been dropping for decades now?


And mass shootings and the amount of deaths in mass shootings have gone up. You aware of that?

Why are we parsing mass shootings out of homicides?

You are aware that's called "cherrypicking", right?
