Sunday is the time to pull the mic away from your mouth, so your friends can’t hear you munching on some kind of Pringle. Before you stoop, read this week’s best articles on the game (and its related stuff).
On Dazed, Günseli Yalcinkaya wrote about how E-girl influencers are trying to get Gen Z into the military. How cosplay commandos and the thirsty traps of nationalism are the latest weapons in the government’s recruitment drive and what it all means for us.
“The targeted effort (especially by the US Army) to recruit Gen Z has resulted in a number of blunders online, but the network Social media remains one of their most powerful recruiting tools.” “The overt public nature of these influencers is part of the conspiracy. Other militaries employ influencers on E-girls who deny any official connections, while someone like Lunchbaglujan exploits speculation. While people debate what is real and what is fake, the real mentality is the normalization of military recruitment through social media. Military influencers e-girl undermine the reality and history of the U.S. military while changing our notions of what it means to be a soldier.”
Andy Chalk wrote a post about how the first “Bored Ape” NFT game is literally chasing shit for PC Gamers. If you can read this without leaking your brain or burying your face in your hands and sobbing quietly, you’ll get a pat on the back from me.
Not quite that simple. Access to Dookey Dash is limited to those with a “drain card”, which can only be claimed by Bored Ape or Mutant Ape NFT owners. But anyone with a card can play, even if they don’t own one of the ape NFTs, and you can see where this will lead: Drainage cards are being sold for absolutely ridiculous amounts of money. .
At the end of the game, Flora Merigold celebrates Vampire survivors and the glory of stilts. I really didn’t realize how important floor chickens can be! I won’t take that for granted anymore.
Without this context, I initially had little thought of the appearance of the Floor Chicken in Vampire Survivors. Floor Chicken is an item that you can collect, as the name suggests, on the ground while running around in different levels of Vampire Survivors. It acts as a consumable that replenishes 30 health – one of the rare sources of health recovery for your chosen character in the game. With the exception of the ability to increase health regeneration, you must rely on your ability to avoid and block damage, or you will suffer a fatal end when the numerous enemies of the Vampire Survivors dragons overtake you. The presence of the Cock Floor reduces that health dynamic somewhat.
For NME, Andy Brown wrote about how Farming in Old School Runescape fixed his morning misery. The joy of developing a routine for that sweet, sweet time. However, I don’t recommend dipping into Dark Souls every morning.
With the ultimate goal in mind of reaching level 70, I easily reverted to things by traveling across the land with a handful of young willows. Willows take a reasonable four hours to grow, but when I started tossing some fruit trees into the mix, I found myself looking at a 16-hour wait to get my hands on a bunch of pineapples. It sounds daunting, but it’s not: once they’ve been planted and you’ve got a local gardener to monitor the outbreak, you can leave to do something else, either in the game or (heaven forbid) in the real world.
