Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes
This is a community for discussion, news, and memes pertaining to the video game sub-genre "soulslike".
Given Lemmy's size, the definition of soulslike may be treated relatively loosely. While games like the numerous FromSoft titles, the recent Star Wars Jedi games, Lies of P, Nioh and similar games should be the focus, games that incorporate soulslike elements - like Hollow Knight and Blasphemous, for example - may also be discussed here.
Basic Lemmy-quette applies. Additionally, since flairs don't exist yet, please do make sure to include a marker to denote what game your post is about in square brackets for clarity's sake. An example could be:
[BB] This enemy is so difficult!
or
[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?
Friends:
Should you have any questions, please do let me know.

A real tree (less so a plastic one) is like having a jerry can of gasoline in your living room .... then you decorate it with cheap electrical wiring that might cause a spark ... then drape it all with bits and pieces of plastic.
Nah, cut 2~3 cm of the bottom of the tree and keep it sitting in water, it'll last 2+ weeks easily and it's not easy to set fire to a live hydrated tree, even when it's pine.
Now putting real candles on the tree is a slight risk factor, but if you get the old fashioned or cheap kind, the candles will burn all the way down and slightly bake/singe the pine needles, and that makes your house really smell like Yule!
To be fair, a plastic one is a lot like gasoline too, just in a different way
Two years ago I swapped out my old incandescent Christmas tree lights for LED ones. My wife likes seeing lots of lights in the tree so over the years, I had kept adding lights over time, by the time I last used the incandescent ones, I had about 500 lights for small 6 foot tree ... it looked great and I had kept patching, fixing and repairing all the lines over time. When I finally took them out the last time, there were enough questionable connections, lights, loose connections, semi bare wires that if I had used them any longer, I probably would have burnt my house down.
Now I have 600 LED lights on my tree ... it's not as temperature warm as it used to .. uses about a tenth of the electricity and it looks great ... and it is less likely to burn my house down.
