I picked up Elden Ring over a year ago and had started it. It was really difficult going around the world and I felt like I wasn’t enjoying it as much as I could because of its difficulty. This was my first experience with a “Souls” game.

I played a bit of Demon’s Souls over the holidays last year on ps3 because I had it on ps+ and was curious. I liked it and it helped me force myself to keep at it with some enemies, as it’s more linear.

That gave me the push to try Elden Ring once more and it then “clicked” and I just kept at it and now I’m having way more fun. I’m going back everywhere because I know I skipped difficult bosses or parts of the game.

I found out that I had skipped over a whole area and went to an even more difficult one, so I was getting a harder game than I should have. Upon going to the now easier map section (and with an upgraded character), I breezed through a huge section.

If you haven’t heard of it, I recommend 😅

Search “what is my ip” on your web search engine to see without and with a VPN connection, to see if you’re really going through the VPN tunnel. Seems like you aren’t.

Video games, because it’s easier to do it legally. If it was as easy for other media, I would do it that way.

Let’s ban one app instead of making laws that govern personal data for everyone.

Alright, we get it. Xbox games are coming to ps5. We don’t need every single xbox game to have its own article.

“On all platforms (excluding consoles).” so is that just PC?

Making money is seen as wholesome now?

Well, your Guest Wi-Fi can either have access to the pihole server and have its benefits, or point them to a public DNS. You can’t block access to the dns server for your guest network and hope it works - because it’s blocked. Personally I’d give Guest Wi-Fi a public DNS, as you won’t have much fun when an app of your friend’s stop working and you have to fiddle and work it out.

If you point the guest network’s dns to the gateway, that gateway needs to know what to do with those requests. Either it has a resolver locally or it mist forward it elsewhere.

I was surprised to find a few years ago that phones were allowed in classes. It makes absolutely no sense to me. What is the positive side to letting them in?

Great essay of a great game.
