the Elden Ring DLC follows this overarching theme of familial abandonment that is really hurting me badly. This is what happens when you feel left out, left alone, given up on. This is what happens when you choose abandonment, when you give in to solitude.

me: "complacency is the facet of the liberal agenda that can and will allow fascism to take hold, because people do want to be complacent."
also me: "I would much prefer the revolution under Biden than under Trump, as politically hedonistic as the DNC really are"

finally got to an optional area that I think could have used more content. It feels very secretive, like anything could be hidden in any crevice, but it really is just a big stealth section.

No spoilers in this post, but the narrative choices of the DLC are quite a lot more powerful than the base game btw; I'm impressed by how few bosses I've encountered for how much story progress I've made, and not for lack of trying. Not much else I can say but speculation is available everywhere.

Of all the majority of Nintendo 64 games aged poorly, Conker’s Bad Fur Day never deserved to be considered of any quality nor treated with any reverence, not in the moment nor in retrospect. It was what I CALL a bowel movement
