Whoever thought you might like Elden Ring because you like Zelda is not a true friend. There's really not much similar with the gameplay loop.

You're right that the gameplay is more about learning and recognizing patterns of enemies and adjusting to them so if that doesn't appeal to you you're probably not going to like it. With that being said though, your first soulslike is always the hardest and if you stick with it they are very rewarding to play once you know what to expect.

I am very surprised that there is only one legitimate reference to the original coining of these terms from the beginning of the French Revolution so far in this thread asking what these terms mean.

Just to add to what Daemon provided in the post, aside from hitting the comment button you can also hit the 'view source' option from the comment drop-down menu in Jerboa and it will show deleted and mod/admin removed comments as well in plain text.

Not sure if this is intended behavior or not as I actually appreciate the ability to do so. It helps to not lose context in conversations with deleted/removed material while still providing a small barrier to a casual observer.

That's pretty accurate. I would say it's like if ARK and Pokemon Legends: Arceus had a baby from the streams I've seen. It's definitely not for me, but everyone seems to be pleasantly surprised so far at the very least.

Ideally you would use a freestanding barbell, but a dumbbell modification is perfectly okay. You'll lose out on working a lot of your stabilizers and will likely have to favor your back or legs with positioning at a smith machine and it makes the overall movement of the exercise pretty awkward and ineffective.

I like to recommend this site as a quick reference guide to find exercises if I want to change things up when planning for a workout. There is a directory sorted by muscle group and articles that are actually fairly well written, including citations usually if that interests you. I linked to the general article because it links to the more specific muscle groups from it because like most exercise focused sites it can be a little tough to navigate.

As another user noted, deadlifts when done with good form will work your traps and spinal erectors along with the rest of the posterior chain. Take some time to really make sure you have good form before you hurt yourself when you try to push higher weights.

I strongly recommend following a more strict workout in the beginning rather than winging it so that you don't start yourself off with major muscle imbalances. At the very least, add in some bicep work on your back day, triceps on your chest day, and abs and shoulders whenever you can squeeze them in.

It appears that it is/was an anti-feminist movement.

Given the context from the title, I interpreted it as referencing the wine brand, "Josh"

I agree. It never really felt like there was anything to differentiate the agdq and sgdq events from their daily shows while everything was remote. It just never felt the same without everyone playing on the couch.

Yeah I wouldn't expect them to reinvent the wheel at this point. I think the only major difference that should reasonably be expected is in the change to the newer Unreal Engine. Better graphics, better optimization in the codebase(hopefully), and better performance. Otherwise I expect everything to be similar, but it's too early to say anything for certain I suppose.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who found the world resets frustrating. I agree that the world is interesting and atmospheric, but as someone who enjoys thoroughly exploring, the resets just kept ruining my immersion into the world. Maybe one day I'll go back to the game.
