Posting from my phone so I can't link it, but AC:O got an update that added "Discovery Mode". Basically it removes all enemies (or something like that) and adds various NPCs throughout the map that take you on a virtual tour through historic Egypt. I had no plans for playing the game, but now I'm interested.

It also censors the naughty bits on all the statues and has a scene where there a girls studying to be scholars with text saying that it isn’t accurate but they wanted to be inclusive which I’m not against in principle, but seems somewhat counterintuitive for a mode intended for historical accuracy.

A little late for the bloodborne thing from earlier but this is more of a unique weird thing that I haven't seen happen to anyone else.

Going for a visceral on the same frame as an NPC seems to break things. I couldn't move use items or anything, I had to quit out.

Not from Bloodborne, but I had a very similar thing happen to me back when I was playing DS 3. I think maybe some common code shared between the games has a bug regarding viscerals, maybe a race condition or something.

I stopped trying to use Google to find things that are hard to find* because nowadays it's so finely tuned for stupid people who can't find things that are easy to find that it's basically useless for anything else.

So is Bing but at least I only get like 200 results that aren't what I wanted instead of 20000000.

*) I mean they are hard to find now. They used to be extremely easy to find because you could just Google them, which is why I never thought to bookmark them :(

That's too bad. I was in the mood for some brainless but enjoyable hacknslash to balance out thinking really carefully about each hit in MHW.

I had a loan of it. I played the YTR. The majority of my time was spent riding a horse towards a waypoint, beating a named dude, then riding again. With the open world there's no reason to stop and capture bases or gates. The crafting has eleven billion ingredients and most named drops were just gold. It was incredibly dull. They should remake DW3, leave the enemies as low-poly, low resolution dudes and have them all on screen: enemies popping into existence shouldn't still be a thing three console generations later.

I'm OCD and prefer hyperlinks to be titled like "Assassins Creed Origins Discovery Mode", rather than just a straight copy/paste of the whole link. And to do that on the phone app seems like it would take more effort than just saying "meh, look it up yourself". I'm lazy, is that what you wanted to hear?

It's pretty wild that nowadays someone can have a music video that has 50 million views and yet most people I know have no idea who she is. Pop music used to be something you simply couldn't avoid, that has obviously changed.

Well, or even the 90s. You'd be hard-pressed to find someone in the 90s who listened to music but had never heard a Nirvana song.
