Life is unfair.

@frankiemuniz Don’t give up hope, they may still yet air the Bachelorette!

Terrible, terrible day. Maybe my worst yet.

Here’s a solid list of beginner tips for Crimson Desert. The game features a massive open world in Pywel, action-oriented combat with stamina management, a crime/bounty system, Greymane camp mechanics, boss fights, and skill progression. These tips will help you get off to a strong start without spoiling story elements. 1. **Master stamina management early** — Stamina governs dodging, sprinting, heavy attacks, traversal, and more. Running out in combat or while exploring is deadly. Prioritize stamina upgrades first when spending skill points or artifacts. 2. **Use targeted aiming (lock-on / precision mode)** — It helps with precise interactions (objects, NPCs, climbing/jumping), combat targeting, and platforming. Get comfortable toggling it. 3. **Unlock key early skills ASAP** — Focus on Grappling (crowd control & throws), Keen Senses (better parry/counter windows), Flight/gliding (massive map traversal), Dropkick, Armed Combat basics, and elemental imbues (like Flame or others). Stamina-related passives come before flashy damage. 4. **Parry > block** — Perfect parries cost no stamina and open big counter windows. Practice the timing—it's more rewarding than spamming block or dodge. 5. **Don’t commit crimes early** — Avoid stealing, attacking NPCs, or other crimes until you’re stronger and understand the bounty system. Bounties attract hunters and make life hard for new players. If you want to try crime, unlock and wear the Mask first (via Jeffrey’s bounty or similar early unlock). 6. **Ring bells to reveal the map** — There are scattered bells (around 8 in the starting Pywel region) that unfog large portions of the map when rung. Explore for them early. 7. **Food is your healing** — No traditional potions in combat—eat food to recover health. Stock up, cook when possible, and keep meals handy. 8. **Repair and reinforce gear regularly** — Sharpen weapons and repair armor at blacksmiths to max the “Reinforcement” stat. Don’t neglect this; degraded gear performs much worse. 9. **Expand inventory early and often** — Inventory slots are easy/free to increase (via camp upgrades, quests, or Greymane camp). Do it ASAP—loot piles up fast. 10. **Don’t grind random mobs for XP** — Focus on story quests, elite enemies, bosses, and region exploration for better progression. Random grinding is inefficient compared to structured content. 11. **Upgrade your Greymane camp** — Your base/hub (Greymane camp) offers upgrades, meals (buffs/healing), inventory expansion, and more. Invest time/resources here—it pays off hugely. 12. **Keep boss weapons & signature abilities** — Boss drops (weapons, abilities) are often unique and powerful. Don’t sell them, and equip signature boss moves when you get them. 13. **Explore off the main path** — Hidden artifacts (Abyss Artifacts), strongholds, elites, and upgrades are everywhere. Fully clear regions before rushing the story—skipping leaves you underpowered later. 14. **Watch boss stagger meters** — Many bosses (including bigger types) have visible stagger/break bars. Build them up for big damage windows. 15. **Use your Greymanes & companions** — Don’t forget about your mercenary crew—they provide support, buffs, or help in fights/camping. Manage them well. Enjoy Pywel, mercenary! The game rewards exploration and system mastery over rushing.

I see @godcandleOG decided he wanted to be an @akidcalledbeast whale today 🐳

@Variety @HuajatollaChic1 She’s maxed out her victim card.

Taylor Frankie Paul is speaking out following ABC’s announcement that they will not air Season 22 of "#TheBachelorette": “Taylor is very grateful for ABC’s support as she prioritizes her family’s safety and security. After years of silently suffering extensive mental and physical abuse as well as threats of retaliation, Taylor is finally gaining the strength to face her accuser and taking steps to ensure that she and her children are protected from any further harm,” the statement from her spokesperson reads. “There are too many women who are suffering in silence as they survive aggressive, jealous ex-partners who refuse to let them move on with their lives. Taylor has remained silent out of fear of further abuse, retaliation, and public shaming. She is currently exploring all of her options, seeking support, and preparing to own and share her story." variety.com/2026/tv/news/t…

@Ruukasu97 @Grummz Yes, I am loving it. Playing on PS5 Pro on 60 fps mode.

@StackingCheddar @Grummz how do you know that have you played it already?

We need to teach Korean investors to stop listening to game journalists. Odds are the game offers something unique, everyone says that. It also offers a lot of rough edges. The only numbers that matter, and investors should take this to heart, are Steam numbers. We get to see those later today.

@C0nt3ntBeast @_mathieson_ @akidcalledbeast

Grabbed another beautiful BEAST 😍✨️

@treb_btc @akidcalledbeast Followed you Beast! I’m lovin’ it.

Shopping for NFT’s is so much fun 🤩 Hey @akidcalledbeast Treb’s back!!! What other OG projects should I 👀 at? Are the Beasts still active?

@Pirat_Nation GOTY 2026 so far.

New combat gameplay for Crimson Desert

@aipriverses He’s like Mamdani taking money out of middle class wallets.

i still genuinely cannot imagine the thought process that goes into deciding to do this

@dojathadon @akidcalledbeast The Rock shirt as we called it back in the day!

Did you know: The Black and Gold Baroque shirt pattern appears on only 5 Beasts throughout the collection. The elegant design of the shirt is a seeming nod to high end fashion design such as Versace and it highlights the attention to detail @akidcalledbeast is known for.

Am I the only one who longs for a Sopranos / Lord of the Rings crossover starring AI James Gandalf-ini? Fuhget about it!

Never fade @Rafsby or @akidcalledbeast! Best NFT community by far. The floor is razor thin and there are some sweet grails waiting for a new home.

@pushsquare Easy stock buy. The sales numbers are going to be huge.

@bluelivesmtr She’s doing the meme…

They realize how badly they've screwed up... now they're DESPERATE to get the rich to move back to their liberal states! WATCH as Kathy Hochul begs wealthy people who have left New York for red states like Florida to return to pay their high taxes to fund failing social programs: “I need people who are high net worth to support the generous social programs we have in our state. Some patriotic millionaires who stepped up. Ok! Cut the me the checks. But if you want to supportive, maybe the first step should be go down to palm beach and see who you can bring back home." Blue states are a complete DISASTER and this is spectacular. REPOST for widespread exposure! #thinblueline #lawenforcement

Newly released video shows Keith Ellison (D), the Minnesota AG, NOT CLAPPING for military veterans arriving on an Honor Flight to visit memorials in Washington, DC. This is how Democrats treat U.S. veterans

Crimson Desert is somehow even better than I anticipated.

@jaws4bolts @briandstone I have a Model Y Premium AWD and pay $122 per month for comprehensive with gap protection. These look like California prices.

@briandstone Per consumer reports….interesting…I’ll give my insurance company a call to see what they say.

My mom took delivery of her second Tesla today, a Model Y Performance! Three years ago, it took a lot to convince her to give Tesla a chance. Her 2023 Model X was her first EV. When it came time for a new car this year, she said she will own nothing but Tesla the rest of her life. She relies heavily on FSD and couldn’t have a car without it. Thank you to the wonderful people at Tesla Sarasota for being so kind and accommodating to my mom today!!
