And the opponents wait for 2 seconds after finishing their attacks. Soulslikes are all about learning the patterns and finding the opportunities to hit between dodges, not about mindlessly hack-n-slashing your way to victory.

And different weapons work for different people, I have some I'm absolutely useless with because I just can't work with their movesets.

Nobody is expecting the cheapest GPU to be good, they expect it to be cheap. And when 55% of Steam users still use a 1080p monitor and over 60% have a GPU with 8GB or vram or less, it'll still work fine for a while.

But if you are thinking of buying a new monitor, definitely skip it.

And even ones that want kids take one look at the economy and their bank accounts, and decide to wait until both look better, because they want to be able to afford the kids a happy childhood. The worst thing for population growth is giving people the ability to choose when, if ever, to get kids, and an environment they don't want to have them in.

Two ways to fix that issue. Which one is used tells a lot.

It is a month old account with 275 posts, quickly scrolling all of them are news. Not sure where they post them, but that is still quite a few per day.

And this is why the UK has separated hot and cold water taps.
Your hot water used to come from a rainwater tank on the roof, and it was illegal to pipe it to a mixing faucet because if something went wrong with the cold water site it could pull undrinkable hot water from these tanks and faucets and contaminate all the drinking water.

Works for these plug-in solar panels too - illegal here in Finland, because if the grid went down, these types of panels could keep feeding the house, out to the street, and electrocute a line worker.

(Also because installing solar panels is a well protected job over here, can't touch that occupation and their revenue stream)

The same exception the UK had, didn't join it in 1992. Specifically they got an opt-out for those specific parts.

It wasn't. It is now.

It was one of the special exceptions that the UK had, gained in 1992 when the Maastricht Treaty was negotiated.

There are a lot of requirements to be able to join the EU, and many of them are deal breakers for the UK that they never implemented - like having to switch to the Euro and joining Schengen. They would undoubtedly demand to get the same special exceptions they had before, and require every EU country to unanimously agree to give them, which almost certainly would never happen.

And even before that, one of the requirements is a "significant, stable and long-lasting majority public opinion in favour of rejoining". One interpretation of this was requiring a few years of at least 65% public approval for the join.

Blocking all 3rd party cookies tends to break quite a few things, as websites often use different domains to handle things like logins.

I've found addons like Cookie Autodelete to be a more functional option, it allows those cookies to exist until I close the tab, and if the domain isn't on a whitelist, they get deleted five minutes later. And it works for first party cookies too.
It does take a while to build that whitelist, and sometimes you forget to set it and wipe something you'd rather have kept, though.

You do not need to ask for consent to use functional cookies, only for ones that are used for tracking, which is why you'll still have some cookies left afterwards and why properly coded sites don't break from the rejection.

Most websites could strip out all of the 3rd party spyware and by doing so get rid of the popup entirely. They'll never do it because money, obviously, and sometimes instead cripple their site to blackmail you into accepting them.

"412 people (403 professional roles, 9 thanks) with 502 credits." https://www.mobygames.com/game/241065/clair-obscur-expedition-33/credits/windows/?autoplatform=true

As for those compared budgets, CoD Black Ops Cold War cost $700 million and GTA 6 has already surpassed a billion.

There is an argument to be made that Expedition 33 was essentially created by a studio with 30 people (though once you add everyone that worked on it the credits do balloon to over 400) with a rather small budget, and meanwhile companies like Rockstar, Sony and Activision have thousands working for years and spending hundreds of millions creating games like GTA 6, CoD and Concord, so naturally they should be a lot more expensive to buy too.

They just shouldn't be surprised if people don't buy all the $500 Waguy steak on offer and are perfectly happy with way cheaper options.
