Possibly because I know nothing about tarot, some of these connections seem odd to me (Zorayas as the sun? Fia as judgement? Blaidd as the chariot??) That said, the artwork is beautiful. Nephali as Temperance is probably my favorite. Great work!

Vote for 3.

Honorable mention for 11 but all of these are fantastic. Great job by the artists.

Sorry, I don't use wefwef. In the main browser, you can navigate to the community and the "block" button is right below the "subscribe" option.

Near as I can tell, there are certain communities that have a "rule" that every time you browse that community, you must post something before you leave. This leads to a lot of low effort shitposting that I guess some people find fun but I just blocked those communities so my /All feed wasn't cluttered.

I don't love this example because enjoyment of the object isn't really a cost. If I buy a book or a videogame or a movie, the time it takes to enjoy the media is the value, not the cost.

If you're talking about maintenance and upkeep on your car, that is a different type of cost that has to be weighed against the cost and time expenditure of a bus pass or whatever your alternative was.

In other words I feel like this is a catchy phrase that kind of falls apart once you start to dig at it.

I feel like there's a lot more to this than "pay it twice". If you're talking purely in dollars, then you'll want to consider maintenance and upkeep over the expected lifetime of the object and compare that to alternatives. Additionally, everything has an opportunity cost because no resource is limitless and you could have allocated it elsewhere. Finally, emotional and other intangible benefits are something that most people have a very difficult time quantifying.

If you want to say "consider more than just the purchase price" then I'm with you.

I've tried a number of different weapons for my (un-optimized, PVE only) arcane build but I keep coming back to Elonara's poleblade as the most fun. The double-handed move set feels fantastic, it applies bleed well, the Ash of War can initiate and then make space by retriggering. And the charged R2 is so damn satisfying. Throw in Flame Grant Me Strength and maybe a dragon incantation or two and it's a very versatile setup- at least for PVE.

I agree with the spirit of this 100% and will support any way I can. I only hope the implementation is free of trolls, bots, and other bad actors.

If all you're trying to do is limit bots and trolls, just make your $10 a required donation to help with hosting costs. I'm sorry but this sounds like yet another blockchain solution in search of a problem.

And who decides what counts as bad behavior worth forfeiting funds? Sounds ripe for corruption.

This is hugely personal to your own interests. Personally I am subscribed to communities around news, science, gaming, whiskey, and my favorite sports team. You can always use the community browser to look for something specific or just keep an eye on the "all" listing to see if something catches your eye.

I naively want to believe that this won't be an issue for most users having most conversations. But out of curiosity can you link what the ban list actually contains?

 

I am coming from Reddit and while currently dead, this seemed to be the largest Elden Ring community. So to kick-start the resurrection, here's what even Reddit called my most-returned-to-post. This thing has been open as a tab in my browser for a year now.
