This is not a matter of international law, it's purely domestic US law. As far as I'm aware, wearing these things is perfectly fine. If they were considered a terrorist organization, providing training, advice, service, personnel or any other sort of material support to them would be against the law. Not entirely sure what the units or this initiative are, but sounds like this could be considered material support if their profit goes directly to the organization. "Every purchase supports the Restore Nineveh Now initiative to build and train the Nineveh Plain Protection Units."

I like the avatar, Verb. Brings back good memories from way back in the day. I was all like "Fluttershy is the best pony" and you were all like "fucking go kill yourself you cunt". Good times.

Oh you said MCC

Halo 5 has no decent co-op, unfortunately.

Friendly warning that this stays civil or it doesn't stay at all. No flaming in Serious.

As people already pointed out, your stamina replenishes a lot faster when you're not blocking. Anticipating when and how enemies are going to attack (and how far it's going to reach) is a vital skill. Lower your shield when you're in the clear to have your stamina refill and then go back at it.

Souls do have sizes. The itemized souls you pick up can be consumed to give you a certain amount of souls. They vary from small souls of lost undead (which will give you an instant 200 souls when used) all the way up to souls of great heroes (which give you 20,000 souls when used). Then there's also boss souls you get for killing certain bosses, which can give you a large amount of souls or can be used to create certain special and unique boss weapons later on.

If you die, your bloodstain and souls will be left in what the game considers your last safe and secure position. If you fall to your death off a ledge, your souls won't be at the bottom but somewhere at the top. If you die after sliding down a slope, the game will put them at the top of the slope because you're not secure or stable when sliding. If you die really close to a monster you were fighting, the game might drop your souls a few feet back from where you actually died because it was the last safe spot you were in. Like Turkey said, try retracing your steps. Your souls should be somewhere around the spot you fell from or died.

How's that for freedom, Das?

Feels bad, man. This is what happens when we let soccer moms interfere with politics and make populist issues out of literal non-issues. MADD is legit one of my most disliked activist groups, right after PETA and the Brady Campaign.

I get you, populism is always bad.

I have an oral exam on advanced international and european patent law this wednesday. Not looking forward to that one at all, so I feel you.

Also, having exams throughout January and June is literally the best time period. What are all of you people talking about?

Well, it is almost noon, so yeah.

It auto saves basically after every action you do. And most importantly when you quit the game through the menus it autosaves then and there as well.

I actually have to hand it to From in that regard. If your game unexpectedly crashes for whatever reason, you'll lose very little progress unless you where fighting a boss. Like we're talking seconds. Open a door, game crashes.

Load up the game, you're sitting front of the door a few seconds before you open it. They do stellar work in that department, at least. I don't know of any other games out there that can save so often without significantly impeding your progress in-game with a wait time.

Another benefit of constant autosaving is that it's pretty much impossible to save-scum.

I don't understand this meme

Savescumming is a term to describe abusing saves to your advantage. For example, saving right before a speech check in Fallout or Skyrim and then just reloading the game over and over until you manage to pull off the 10% chance dice roll you were trying your hand at. Or saving at a certain point, running through an area to find out where the enemies and traps are at, then reloading your save and continuing the game while knowing what lies ahead. It's basically abusing the saves so you never really have to take responsibility for what happens.

A drinking age of 21 is insane to begin with. Seriously, you guys will throw guns, cigarettes, driver's licenses and military service at young people like it's no one's business, but god forbid a 20 year old tries to step into a bar or buy a beer. Soft beers and wine from 16, everything else from 18, no state monopoly on either.

How's that for freedom, Das?

Stats

Level: 3 (why do they start you off at different levels depending on the class?...)

Just to respond to some of your questions:

- different classes have different stats because it makes sense. A barbarian or knight relying on pure physical damage and high defence will have more HP, stamina, endurance and such than a sorcerer or cleric who will have lower physical attributes but higher base stats for things like faith and magic. You can turn any class into any sort of build during the game, but some are just naturally more prone to certain playstyles than others. Makes perfect sense to me and allows people to build very specific builds from the onset without having to waste too many levels on skills they don't want.

- attunement affects the number of magic slots you have. Each spell takes up one or more slots. For example, the fireball spell will give you 8 fireballs to throw (which recharges at a bonfire). The spell takes up one slot. At the start, you'll only have one slot so the fireball spell will be the only one you can use at the same time. Leveling up your attunement will give you more slots to assign and carry more spells.

- dexterity is the skill that affects your skill with generally lighter and faster weapons and speeds up your casting time of spells. The opposite is the strength skill, which improves your handling of heavy weapons. Each weapon has "scaling" attributes which show what skills affect it the most. For example, the scimitar (your starting weapon with the wanderer) has an E scaling in strength and a B in dexterity (scale goes from E-D-C-B-A-S), meaning that a higher dexterity will make it do more damage.

- endurance affects your equipment burden (the higher this is, the more you can carry without becoming slower) and your stamina (the green bar that runs out when you attack, sprint or dodge). Higher endurance = more stamina and higher carry limit. Resistance is generally considered the most useless skill in the game, it just boosts your physical/fire/poison defense by small amounts.

- intelligence affects your magic. There's three kinds of "magics" in the game. Faith affects miracles, intelligence affects spells and then there's pyromancies. Higher faith lets you use stronger spells and deal more damage with magic and magic based weapons.

- humanity gives you slightly more defense and boosts your item discovery rate (the more loot you get). You raise it
by using humanities, it's not a set skill that you level up.

- asylum demon does not have a name.

Oh and pro tip: press the back (or select) button when in the menus. It'll let you see what each skill or particular icon does, like all skills and scaling.

Not gonna respond to other parts or give you any other advice unless you specifically ask. I'm assuming that's what you want and I hope no one else will spoil things or give you unwanted hints.

From a child safety standpoint, I'm all for this. It's something like 2,000 kids died last year from unsecured firearms. 1 is too many.

Not that I disagree with your point, but that number's way too high. Even the most progressive research doesn't claim this number to be higher than about 100.

So I just put it to the test and searched for "minecraft" and "minecraft hentai" on pornhub. The results are:

- a ton of normal let's plays and minecraft videos that are just standard youtube material
- a bunch of minecraft animations (literally just two in-game characters crouching on each other in skin colored outfits)
- in-game builds of erotic pixel art
- a few of those anime/hentai talking games in a minecraft setting
- "how to tame a horse on Minecraft 1.8" with several hundred views

This is the future of porn, friends.

Who the fuck is uploading fucking let's plays to Porn Hub? Literally why?

Happens for a lot of games, it seems. There's plenty of CoD montages on there too. People have even posted gaming leaks on there because pornhub doesn't take down content very easily.

That does make sense. If you don't mind me asking, are gun locker's and the safety on a gun not sufficient?

That depends on the person and situation. There's people who keep their gun armed and ready in a shelf for an entire lifetime without anything going wrong, or others who store it responsibly without needing an actual gun locker. But every year, there's several hundred people dying from accidental firearm discharge and about 15,000 more who are injured in such a way, a large part of them being children. Of course, it's always the parents' or irresponsible adults' fault in those cases, but it's likely that more widespread gun safety measures would prevent some injuries or deaths.

Probably just internet crapping out when loading the page. Happens to me every so often. Tried restarting your browser or hard refreshing?
