Just some pathetic cis white boy from Canada’s worst province who never amounted to much of anything. Work in a grocery store that is mostly okay, but don’t make enough to live off so I’m resigned to just trying to not cry too much every day. I have a partner I dearly love.

  • You haven’t said a weapon so I’ll just give you some generic tips.

    First step in any fight against a new monster is to learn how to not get hit. So spend maybe 5 minutes just dodging the attacks. It’s very easy if you don’t draw your weapon because you can sprint. Learn the attacks see where you can stand and how long the monster takes to recover.

    Once you can manage to not get hit by the monster for minutes at a time, start drawing your weapon and trying to get some hits in during the gaps in attacks you’ve already noticed. This will be easy with quicker weapons, but should help with any weapon. Great sword would be the hardest to figure out.

    In general that’s how you fight any monster, learn the attack patterns and hit during the gaps and weaknesses of their attacks.

    If you want specific weapon or monster advice I can provide that as well.

    There’s also many items that can be useful in a hunt, base World flash bombs are super op against anything that flies.










  • It’s like people who want help shopping at the grocery store. A robot is basically useless. My average interaction:

    “Do you have this thing?”

    Is it a food thing or a non food thing?

    “It’s a bin, for food”

    Okay, you want a big bin or a little one, disposable or resuable? Made of glass or plastic? Aisle 2.

    “It’s food, I can’t eat plastics or glass.” Okay… You want beans maybe?

    “Yes yes beans that’s what I said”

    Okay aisle 5, right hand side halfway down.

    Customers frequently don’t know what they want, or even how to say it. So I spent 5 minutes looking for a Greek spice ziitar when they were looking for an arabic/north Africa spice Zaatar that is in the world food section.

    Imagine a robot trying to decipher this, especially when many people have accents as well, or they just show you a picture of a thing. I can work it out, it takes a little to time. The robot would also be useless because our store carries like millions of things and has at one point carries most things but it’s a luck of the draw if we currently carry something. So ask a robot, do you carry tahini sauce? Yes we do, we currently have 0 at negative 1 dollar located in section not found. Because that’s all the computer is going to say for like 90% of the tahini stuff we carry since we’ve switched brands a dozen times and they all are still stores there even though we haven’t carried many for over a decade.


  • Yeah but now he has merchandise… So everything he does is just a promotion to sell more of the crap that makes him money. Like his shitty chocolate bars that sell for three times the price of a Nestle or Cadbury chocolate bar. Chocolate is like the ultimate sin food. It’s bad for you if you eat it, and the production of it was likely bad for everyone involved, and the money goes to ghouls who just want more money.


  • Oh no, china won’t listen to us guys!

    “As a wayward economic actor, dumping electric cars in Western markets and threatening to withhold critical minerals needed by high-tech industries.”

    How dare they use their economic might to, checks notes, make electric cars affordable around the world? And also how dare they use the national resources they possess, don’t they know a corporation could more inefficiently make heaps of profits off them? If china actually fixes the problems of the world how will our multinational corporations make profit for doing nothing?

    Death to America and her allies.




  • Been playing mostly balatro and bits of monster hunter rise on ps5.

    I’ve beaten 19 challenges on balatro, but 20 is Jokerless which is so incredibly difficult. Deck manipulation is probably my weakest aspect of the game usually not coming online until ante 5 or 6. So I’m mostly working on beating some gold stake decks.

    Monster Hunter rise I’m trying to learn charge blade. I did everything on the switch version with dual blades and light bowgun. So trying to learn this on a fresh file should be fun. Mostly been trying to muscle memory the basic charge, and amp combos into discharges. Early monsters are so annoying for moving around way too much. But it’s fun as always.
