@JGODYT People that are saying the game is too hard would have committed seppuku after playing one NES game. “This old guy gave me a sword and didn’t explain anything about the Lost Woods.

Elements in Crimson Desert are a Game Changer

@amuse The last time the NBA didn’t suck.

SPORTSBALL: Did they change the traveling rules in basketball? This feels a lot like WWE.

@ChibiReviews All 327 of the modern audience agreed with him.

@shitpost_2049 People complaining about Crimson Desert are at the restaurant saying “this steak is too juicy, my lobster too buttery!” It’s an awesome game that is massive, doesn’t hold your hand, and is full of bosses.

Crimson Desert players are asking for refunds due to the game's terrible clunky controls. "Whoever designed the control scheme should seek employment with the devil."

@PowerPyx You had me at “completion.”

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

Life is unfair.

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.

@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!
