It was a sword used by the Portuguese during the Age of Discovery. The rings allow you to finger the guard for better point control and supposedly the blade was often blackened to prevent rust on ships. Its name comes from how the guard looks like 2 balls (colhĆ£o is slang for testicle in Portuguese)

This also meant that when you went to bumfuck nowhere like to an ashlander camp to do the trials, it truly gave you the feeling of being in a small isolated place hidden from the rest of the world.

Yes, in a way it felt a bit like a metroidvania where you unlocked fast travel options over time that made the world feel more connected. Silt striders, boats, mages guild, Mark and recall, intervention scrolls, etc. I remember planning actual itineraries to get to the other side of the island.

How is that objectively good? The nazis viewed slavs as subhumans and killed millions of civilians

And of course, continue learning UE AI programming as I have been trying this past year. I have several AI books to go through!
Also, Balatro is my GOTY for 2024. That shit was crack in video game form. š Followed by Helldivers 2

Reading as well I didn't do as much as I wanted to, though I did more than in 2023. So I guess my new years reasolutions are going to be: read more, attend my first fencing competition, get back into drawing, get back into ukelele & get back into doing some of my own Godot games

I managed to consistently start doing a sport too with fencing, which over the last year has kind of developed into an obsession.š
On the other hand I failed a bit in learning the Ukelele. I did learn some songs, but haven't touched in several months. I should get back into it..

Thanks! Yup, unfortunately due to the way bots are made, it would require Ubisoft to release a server executable, which I doubt they'd do...

It's because he's forcing the smile. He also almost doesn't seem human sometimes. Like, Pewdiepie is rich but he has some personality in his videos. You feel like you could hang out with the guy. Mr. Beast, I don't even know what his personality would be cuz his videos are just about the set pieces
