Elder Scrolls VI has a Crimson Desert problem. For 15 years Skyrim was the benchmark. Every open world RPG got compared to it. I think that just ended. Crimson Desert’s world is so dense that NPCs actually go to church on Sundays. Just Sundays. Rest of the week they’re doing other things. That level of detail is everywhere. Combat makes Skyrim’s look like a tech demo. I’m 48 hours in and still wandering the opening area. The scale is absurd. Pearl Abyss is also shipping daily updates and free DLC while Bethesda is still warming up on Elder Scrolls VI. So when ES6 finally drops, it’s not getting compared to a 15-year-old game. It’s getting compared to this one. More Skyrim won’t cut it. Full breakdown in my latest video, link in comments.








Crimson Desert world is so massive and diverse, it took John Linneman from Digital Foundry roughly 4 hours of traversal and exploration to go from the opening village to the desert. He also noted that he hasn't felt this need to explore since RDR2 and Breath of the Wild.


I'm starting to think that all the most profitable drugs of the last several decades have been disasters for patient health. Statins, SSRIs, insulin for T2D, ADHD drugs, vaccines, NSAIDs... How are these different than thalidomide or mercury drugs?

If I was told I had mildly high blood pressure by my doctor, I would want to do everything possible to avoid a medication. My goal is zero prescriptions, it’s an absolute last resort only. I don’t want to be on synthetic pills with side effects. The vast majority of high blood pressure these days is caused by underlying insulin resistance. People affected by this condition are getting younger and younger. Prescribing medications may make doctors happier about the number, but they do nothing to fix the underlying root cause. Outside of an emergency high blood pressure situation, where drugs are necessary— there are plenty of things that can be done naturally for most cases of “slightly” elevated BP. Here’s a video explaining exactly what I would do over a 14-Day period to lower my blood pressure naturally, by focusing on the science of insulin resistance: youtu.be/oHsWA9LzLhE?si…
