Shirrako's post about the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC's final boss has players split, with many calling out its endless dodges, screen-cluttering holy beams, and relentless combos from the empowered Radahn and Miquella. A September 2024 patch toned down some attacks, making it bearable for some, but critics still see it as unfair while defenders praise its test of mastery and spectacle. The divide highlights a core question in FromSoftware design: does raw challenge deliver fun, or does it need fair openings to strike back?

In 2025 remarks, Republican Senator John Kennedy from Louisiana called out what he saw as massive waste in USAID's $40 billion annual spending, citing funds for a transgender clinic in India, meals to al-Qaeda-linked groups, and aid to Hamas-tied organizations in Gaza. The Trump administration then slashed USAID, cutting staff to under 300 and absorbing operations into the State Department, with many examples like DEI training in Serbia and LGBTQ health in Guatemala holding up under checks. Conservatives celebrated the moves amid $39 trillion U.S. debt concerns, while critics warned of 600,000-760,000 deaths from halted programs; by 2026, Congress restored some aid with stricter rules.
