@basicallydjo The movie was a piece shit. No amount of simping will ever change that.

Remember when they made Star Wars good again then a bunch of whiny manbabies ruined it

@Babygravy9 Is this connected to the upcoming Fauci prosecution in any way?

You love to see it. The great evil of animal experimentation must be brought to a swift end.

@Delta What’s your plan to keep the Delta passengers safe from the Spirit passengers?

@PNWConservative Fuck off to both sides. Let the company crumble.

REI made their own bed, let them sleep in it.

@BODY_W0_WHORGAN The point of the scene is “The Human Sacrifice Will Stop Now. Christ is Lord.”

Insane for Mel Gibson to make like this INCREDIBLY racist movie for like 99% of it only to sort of pull the rug and be like 'yeah what comes immediately after this is so much fucking worse' with one shot

@Jamesmanny21 @octal @Mid30sManhattan Who cares about the seats. It’s typically a 1x2 or 1x1 config, so you’re not even sitting next to anyone. And no TSA or commercial airports. I’ll sit in a fold out chair for that trade off.

@octal @Mid30sManhattan JSX is literally just a small plane with economy seats, and no routes

I’m a delta guy but have been flirting w American. The blatant, dangerous demographic mixing here may be the last straw. Imagine a loved one being forced to sit next to a Spirit customer. Scary times.

Yeah, it was a panic moment. Everyone’s ragging on me and saying the game is clear about, but it’s not. It’s not at all clear where the artifacts go when you use up your pot. I guess the game just treats your Kuku items as a permanent inventory that can only be accessed while you hold a pot.

@_GunRunn3r_ @CrimsonDesert_ It should put them automatically in your non existent pot. Then when you build a new one, everything should be in there. Happened to me just last night. Forgot I used mine on a craft. when I jumped away from that area a dialog displayed that they were in fact actually stored

Greymanes, Patch Version 1.05.00 is rolling out.

We've also fixed the issue preventing the summoning of legendary mounts and where comrade trust reset under certain conditions. Check the details and the status of the update's availability on your platform in the patch notes: pearlabyss.info/4unPd4o

My favorite part of Crimson Desert is when you leave a Black Market Dealer, he threatens you by saying, “Don’t give me a reason to follow you.” And you’re like, “Bitch, I just killed 200 guys by myself in the castle down the street and have a pet polar bear. What the hell you gonna do?”

@ShalashaskaFL @CrimsonDesert_ I thought they just meant it required a pot, not that it would consume it. What happens to all your stuff is not clear. If you have no pots, where does your pot stuff go?

@_GunRunn3r_ @CrimsonDesert_ It clearly tells you it will consume a pot, your items don’t disappear you just need to craft another pot. I haven’t tried with armor, but I know the spear still acts as a kuku pot and you can access all items but selecting it in the pop up window when you hold the equip button.

@johnochase @CrimsonDesert_ I thought they just meant it required a pot, not that it would consume it. What happens to all your stuff is not clear. If you have no pots, where does your pot stuff go?

@_GunRunn3r_ @CrimsonDesert_ Had that same issue but when crafting/refining items at Grimmir it will tell you that crafting x will consume y.

@CrimsonDesert_ Thank you. Not being able to call my polar bear was a shadow over the game this week.

@lastchalice You forgot no diversity or identity politics as a positive.

I finished Crimson Desert. I can honestly say that in my 30+ years of gaming I have never been more confused, happy and downright frustrated all at the same time than when playing Crimson Desert. Let’s get the good stuff out of the way first. A game doesn’t sell five million copies unless it does something right and there are areas where this game truly shines. - Feels like a next gen experience - Has insane draw distances - Talented voice acting - Beautiful environments - Extremely high quality graphics - Wonderful exploration - Very impressive scale/enemy count - Great fight choreography/Action scenes - Endless systems and things to do - A solid combat system - 300+ hours of content - High quality soundtrack There is much to love about Crimson Desert. Unlike many, I was drawn into the game from hour one and was compelled to give it my complete attention so that I could properly address how wrong many of the critics were. Unfortunately, as my experience went on I only found myself agreeing more and more. The negatives: - The worst boss fights I’ve ever experienced - A truly awful story - Boring and forgettable characters - Puzzles that are not fun - Poorly designed missions - A lack of any direction for the entire product Crimson Desert does everything in its power to make sure that for every fun moment you have there is an equally frustrating one right around the corner to match it. Let me give you just one example that represents dozens of other annoying moments consistently sprinkled throughout the game. I was required to summon my dragon to destroy a shield around a base. I then went inside the base, destroyed energy depots, fought soldiers, climbed to the top and then engaged in a boss fight. It was only then that it was made clear to me that there was literally no way to defeat this boss unless I was carrying arrows or had a specific skill unlocked. I had neither. I then had to leave the boss fight and redo the entire dragon and base infiltration mission again after buying arrows. As soon as this mission was completed, the next mission began and also required the dragon. I go to summon my dragon to find out that it’s on a 45 minute timer and I have to wait to move forward. This entire headache happens ad nauseam throughout Crimson Desert as it throws one poorly designed idea or mission at you after another. It’s exhausting. I like many love Souls games, but am also fatigued by them and enjoy different styles of combat and bosses. I’ve solo’d plenty of Souls games hardest bosses. Crimson Desert has unquestionably the worst designed mechanics and general fun factor of bosses of any game I’ve ever played. It’s not difficulty either, just eat meat the entire battle and you’ll never die. As far as the story is concerned, I originally thought the criticism was a little much. It’s clear the writing is solid at each individual step of the experience, so how could it not be at least decent? Well, it turns out that if one chapter of your story has zero connective tissue to the next and is constantly loaded with uninspired dialog it ultimately results in bad writing, and let me tell you, it’s BAD. Nothing makes any sense and it almost always feels like different unrelated segments sewn together. I would love to go on for another 18 paragraphs, but for the first time ever I’m going to hit the twitter character limit, so I’ll just summarize with this: Crimson Desert has many high quality aspects that will impress. There’s a certain charm that draws you in even when you can see the cracks in the armor. That is what makes my final takeaway so depressing. There’s a complete lack of direction and vision that seeps into every aspect of the experience resulting in something quite forgettable. What I admire most is that it dared to be different, it doesn’t feel like other games, but that can’t save it from falling incredibly short of greatness. I would not recommend Crimson Desert.

Nice article that I missed when it came out. One writer, Luke Buckmaster’s opinion, but, he does give some solid reasoning. As I get older, I am humbled that someone would even think to write an article like this. Russell Crowe’s 20 best roles – sorted! theguardian.com/film/2025/dec/…

What strikes me about Crowe is how he defined a kind of deeply moral masculinity for a generation in the 2000s (say 97 - 2010). Every big role he chose and crafted portrayed men grappling with duty, honour, responsibility. We all love Master and Commander but the Insider, Cinderella Man, LA Confidential, 3: 10 to Yuma, Robin Hood, the Next Three Days, etc. They're all about men grappling with the consequences of doing what must be done. Legendary run, dunno how he pulled that off.

@DemzDeliver Also, great selective images. California has more Democrats than any other state. It's a leftist dream state... which also houses San Francisco which looks like this in areas and is one of the most expensive places in the US to live. 🤡

Yes, that's a fair and well-supported point. Blue states do show higher nominal median household incomes (roughly $18k more on average, aligning with the study), but they also have significantly higher costs of living—especially housing (often 50%+ more expensive)—and higher state taxes. Adjusting for regional price parities narrows the real purchasing power gap considerably. Wages in high-productivity coastal metros tend to rise to match those expenses.
