Ooo, something I'm actually an expert on.
In the enterprise world, we use the phrase 3-2-1 as a minimum acceptable backup. That is, three copies of your data in two formats (usually indicating hard drives and tape), one of which is off-site. This rule is to help protect against multiple forms of losing data. For instance, your backup drive will do jack squat if your roof collapses and pours water on your PC, but a backup in another town over will work just fine if your hometown is stomped flat by Godzilla. Both will work if you just delete your file.
For us home users, 3-2-1 is usually a lofty goal instead of a bare minimum, but we can use it as a framework for what backups you want. Anything you care deeply about, follow that rule. Have precious photos and/or art you created? Make sure you have three copies of it; say, one on your PC, one on your backup drive, and a third one in the cloud (at source quality, since a lot of services compress the hell out of it afterward) or at a friend's home that doesn't live right next door. Yes, "the cloud" should not be relied on, but it is an excellent secondary backup, since you still have your primary backup when some Internet Stupidity (tm) happens. I can add more information on the latter, but this post is already super long. Anything that would be annoying for you to recover and/or lose but not that big of a deal, just keep a simple backup handy. This is basically 2-1-0. Godzilla stomping would make you lose data, but not deleting a file. Anything that doesn't really matter, don't worry about. If you have the capacity to back it up, go for it; sometimes, it is simpler to just back up everything than to remember what is and isn't backed up. But, this is probably stuff you can just ignore testing on. Stuff that falls in this bucket includes Windows itself, games off of Steam, and so on. Wait, testing? YES. A key part of backing things up is making sure you can get them back. In the corporate world, the number of tales of "but we're backing this up!!!1eleven" for failed restores is as old as the Internet itself. This happens when you rely on an automated process to back up data (which is a good thing!) and don't actually check to make sure it is backing something up (which is a bad thing!). For our photographer or artist example, you'd want to have some form of automated backup; this can be a local drive to copy things to on top of a cloud backup solution. Set up some software to do this automatically so you don't just forget to back up for nine months. Make sure whatever you do sends you a report (popup message saying "backup done!" or an email telling you what it did; most backup software does this automatically) and make sure you get a report each time it is run. Once a year or so, try restoring some piece of art from that off-site backup and making sure it looks good. Don't restore the same thing every year. Personally, I back up my entire desktop to my network storage, and my network storage backs up to "the cloud". Three copies of data (PC, NAS, Cloud) in two formats (three sorta - SSD, hard drive, Cloud), one of which is off-site (Cloud). My super important files (password database, important documents) are actually backed up more like 12-3-2 than 3-2-1, but that's more a coincidence of how I have my computers set up.
HEY!
Back up your computer!
Go get the external drive you bought specifically for this purpose and then left in a drawer somewhere and RUN A FULL BACKUP.
There are lots of posts that make the rounds reminding us to sit up straight, stretch, drink water, refocus our eyes, take our meds, etc. But while this may not be about your health, it's still super-important.
Back up your whole-ass computer. If you can afford a second backup drive, buy one so that you have one SSD and one HDD, and back up to both of them (you can back up just the current important stuff to the SSD and let the HDD do the heavy-duty lifting).
Do not rely on 'the cloud' or the internet to keep jack shit.
AND BACK UP YOUR GMAIL AS WELL HOLY SHIT. The last thing you want is a catastrophic issue where literally every single thing you have in gmail is gone. It's happened. It happened to a friend of mine and basically her entire life was in there and now it's all gone. 20 years of it.

I'm gonna hold your hand while I say this - if you think an existing, loved and respected system for somthing should be changed because it could be confusing for new fans I do not think you are aware that you hold the power to literally research every information you get. You can spend literally 1 minute researching the rider and checking their championships on Wikipedia. It's not that hard. It's not much. It's not too much to ask.
When you get into a new sport or field, you will get confused at first. You will read information that was written for an audience already familiar with the subject. You cannot expect people, blogs, journalists, news papers, social media admins, to explain the absolute basics over and over and over again. It would be annoy for them and fans familiar with the subject. (and yes for you too after understanding the system)
Research comes with being interested in new stuff. It's normal. It's part of the learning progress. So do your fucking research. Ask fan who have been into it for longer. Respect the established way and do not demand a change because it's "confusing" just because you don't know how to use the internet and expect that everything is written so you can understand with little to no context.
That's not how this works.
#NOT TARGET AT ANYONE#Careful: personal opinion.#You would never demand that a biologist explains photosynthesis in a professional paper about something entirely different. Would you?#I have seen a lot of discussion about not including the lower classes (moto2/3) to avoid confusion with new fans#And I understand it in a way. Like I can see the reason but I think it's utter bullshit. I'm sorry to say it like that but I do#You get into a new sport. THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM for example F1.#So you need to learn the difference#You can NOT expect that it's the same just on a bike#Do NOT disrespect a separate sport like that#Please I am begging you and I whole hearted don't mean any hate in this#I just think that it is concerning that an established and loved system is supposed to be changed for... What? New fans? Fuck that shit.#Yes I was confused too when I read that Alex marquez is a 2x wdc despite never winning in MotoGP#BUT I KNOW HOW TO USE A FUCKING SEARCH ENGINE#And now I think it is wonderful that the archivements of riders are still honored even after moving up and I do not want it to change#motogp#I was thinking about not using the main tag but fuck this shit#I feel like this is important#This is about people's demand to clarify the championship in MotoGP

One of the many tragic aspects of Mikuni's character is that if he were to prevent the affair from happening, misono wouldn't be born.
With that being said, the reason why he would want to be misonos' father becomes simple. It's because that's the only way to prevent the affair from happening, and still make sure his little brother is born.
I mean, someone's gotta do it. (Im sorry lmao)
Im thinking he goes back in time, offers Hokaze to marry him to solve the money digging issue, meaning she wouldn't have to go after his father. Preventing the affair, preventing his mothers death & countless others, while also making sure misono still gets born eventually, except it's as his.. and Hokaze's son.
...yeah
And this might be the first time you'll find me not rooting for him.
#i mean i STILL am just not THAT plan#to give himself to an adult he knows is responsible for the problems in his life as a way to prevent those problems??#yeah no that would be the death of me#why am i posting this? because i dont like the “Mikuni had a childhood crush on her” allegations#sorry not sorry#they just dont do justice to the story in my humble opinion#also do you realise how young he was at the time of the affair? he was like YOUNG YOUNG and yes he was mature for his age but lets not#servamp#servamp manga#mikuni alicein#alicein misono#anyway#i also think that part of the reason is because of the situation he was put in as a child where he had to parent him#bc Kiriko was mentally unstable and mikado...is mikado#but that's another conversation#also its late at night so pardon the unprofessionalism#not that im sure its a word or that i was ever professional to begin with#honestly these tags can be a whole new post on their own lol

(more elden ring radahn thoughts)
on whats really left of him .. and his soul? general too many thoughts about him- long post and probably incoherent, but you know me, im never coherent anyway, many thoguhts, head full, quite literally
in base game, he has lost his mind we are told, and clearly he isnt like he used to be, but we really dont know the extend of it hes clearly capable of fighting rather .. controlled; its not like hes biting and clawing after you, he still uses his swords (and bow, sth he doesnt even have in dlc) and magic, we know even in this condition he held back the stars AND still fought you hard at the same time (i know undead people can still fight in elden ring, pls hear me out)
and i wonder .. how much of his mind did he really lose, obviously some since he eats people now which isnt sth he used to do, but ... we dont know how talkactive he used to be, we get one (two? i can only think of one) quotes from him in the descriptions of an item, he might have been a man of few words already, so him not talking at all isnt that good of a measure (not saying its the only measure, just wanted to mention), resorting to eating people that atack you might just be an act of desperation too
we get told he kills friend and foe alike (and im not questioning that really) but in his cutscene we see him drag along the bodies of cleanrot knights, who are under direct dommand of malenia, and by extend miquella, im guessing they kept sending them after him to finish him off; now knowing that him dying means being sent to the realm of shadow, to miquella, and NOT knowing if he wanted that, i feel that that detail has grown in importance-
when you start the fight, hes rather defensive, shooting at you almost immediately upon you entering the arena with no extra cutscene either, what he shoots at you a long ranged gravitation bolts that stop you dead in tracks with a very high stagger rate and if you are on torrent it stagger you off of it; i know it could be just tactical and bc all he knows now is to fight as best as he can BUT, you could also look at it as a defensive strategy, to keep you away, and away from him .. even though you are not told he is afraid to die and he eats people now, sure he could come over there and snack on you once he shot you enough times, but the important thing is that you as a threat to his life is eliminated AND he doesnt seem to have some sort of insatiable hunger for people that makes him charge and snap at you immediately, there could be self control there still (if i wanted to reach a little further i could also say he could be trying to keep you away from him not jsut to save himself but to save you from him too, but thats a reach and i know that)
once you get close enough he usually changes to fire a salve of arrows that fall from the sky and follows you around, also high in stagger- its only when you get too close that he pulls out his swords and charges at you
his arena is interestign as well, its a piece of land in caelid that is inaccessible (unless you can fly?) from all sides, a barren battlefield only reached through a teleporter, im not sure if it is the same place as when he fought malenia or not (wasnt that in the middle of caelid where you find the rot needle?) but i doubt anyone could have put him there against his will, so did he .. go there himself? or stay there for that matter- how quickly do you lose yourself when infected with rot? and how quickly for him, since hes a demigod? did he intentionally isolate himself there? make it harder to reach him for both friend and foe alike?
another point is that most enemies (as far as i can think of) that are infected with rot/are in caelid also deal rot damage, radahn does not, hes even really vunerable to it in fact, its an intersting detail to me bc he only uses either standard attacks or gravitational magic, given that hes been in this condition for a long time and its caelid id expect the rot to be somewhat important there, but its not
how much has he really lost his mind, is he really as mindless as jerren makes him out to be? is he trying to stay alive no matter what, isolating himself on an (almost) island and only living off what comes there, which is usually people that want to kill him, be it friend or foe, all are out for his life one way or another, could it be defensive ... desperate even? no one but him and miquella/malenia seem to know that him dying means hes put into the land of shadow, where miquella is waiting for him; (why wouldnt he tell anyone? was he not able to? was he afraid to upset the golden order by spilling it out?) could he know that would be the end of him having his own will, knowing what miquella can do to people? ... perhaps even .... having been manipulated by him before when he was less experienced and more in direct vicinity to him, to promise something he doesnt actually want?
this is a reach too but ... could he be trying to make himself unusable for miquella, theres no real cure for the rot, could he have decided to stay alive as long as he can to both destroy his own body (and soul even?) intentionally so it cant be used against his will, like a desperate act to destroy himself rather than become someones unwilling puppet? did he succeed in both somewhat but not enough to become fully worthless and unsalvageable? just how much would he have had to destroy himself for him to become useless to miquella, is there even a limit? would he have been "revived" no matter what, no matter what little was left of him?
how is he mindless, yet his soul it taken when you kill him, his body beyond repair, but his soul intact? that seems like the opposite of what he is, and you are told he is, in the base game to me (maybe hes just fallen into madness i guess, but given the soul is like .. the self, he should be mad in the dlc too then, unless miquella can just pick out the parts he likes and throw away the rest .... which isnt impossible either)
now, there could be the argument that he might have actually agreed to it, hes been a big fan of godfrey, who is a consort to marika, a god, and little more than her pawn as well, his 'young' look you see at the end of the dlc could also be connected to it, the braids i thought where a sign of miquellas influence could also be just how he looked back then, an imitation of godfreys hairstyle- and we dont know for sure he didnt used to have them even after gettign older since they could just have loosened after spending so much time in a zombie lite condition (or is it?)-- but his portrait in volcano manor doesnt seem to have them either, hes also sporting the armor you see in base game (i think) there the fact that, according to godfrey, strength is the only thing that matters and to become a consort you need to be the strongest of all to be worthy, could also be interpreted that way- though i dont if he would have wanted to replace the golden order, he was a fan and follower of it, did he even think of it the implications? did he even know? was he just young and stupid? (very possible tbh)
then theres the idea of there being less left of his soul, so in the dlc he is barely if anything at all, himself, both in body AND soul, how much was there even left after all that time in caelid, he is silent except for like two grunts he does also in base game (he has more sounds there too), completely unexpressive, with very few gravitation magic, in the second phase miquella literally snakes his arms around his neck, almost every single attack is filled with light magic, clearly coming from miquella and not him (i know bringing up leonard might seem overemphasizing his role, but in these games what information you get is very scarce so every bit you do learn is important and was written intentionally- but he stayed together with him in caelid, all his attacks involve him in one way or another, he only started to learn that magic for leonard, so radahn didnt have too abandon him as he got too large to ride him, he uses gravitation in dlc too, so it means that at the point of his life that he is recreated as he already had leonard or that that is a sign of whatever is left of his soul that comes from a much older him, and if it is, its very little) (also this is a reach too but most enemies with horses have separate health bars, he doesnt, he and leonard basically share the same health bar, literally inseperable uwu)
"theres no evidence hes mindcontrolled" people say to me. have you seen him? how he acts? or more, how he DOESNT act? that miquellas entire deal is THAT HE BEWITCHES PEOPLE, ffs he STEALS YOUR HEART if you get grabbed by him twice in the dlc fight- theres no evidence he wasnt either, you are told they had a vow, but you never know what exactly that was, when it was (in the memory of miquella wishing for radahn to be his consort you only see miquella- was it a silly wish between kids tha miquella never grew out of?), in what circumstances, you never get to hear radahn say anything about it, its completely left out, thats a little unrelieable to me! idk!
but fine, maybe he did agree to it, maybe he thought being a consort to a god would make him just as cool as godfrey, maybe he fought malenia, who was said to be undefeated, only to prove he had the strength worthy of being a consort and it backfired when malenia infected him with the rot (why then? also he doesnt look exactly thrilled about what she say to him in the trailer but that could be just me too i guess lolololol), maybe he wanted to die all along but his pride meant he couldnt just let the rot win, maybe the festival was really what he wished for and told no one what the real goal was, maybe he wasnt rotten in the first place and just acted that part so he had an excuse to die without having to fight with all his strength as even the undefeated warrior wasnt able to beat him, maybe becoming a consort to miquella was worth leaving leonard behind to him, maybe he wanted to be nothing but a pawn to a god, to be used and discarded, maybe he really believed in miquellas wish for a "gentle" world (aka all love miquella)
it makes sense, im not going to lie about that, but the other does too- and in the end, we will never know what the truth is! we will never know if that was what he wanted, or if he was manipulated even back then, i wish we could to see his part, his voice, his will, but we never will, and it doesnt matter, in the end it doesnt matter if he wanted it or not, the fact remains hes a silent frankensteins monster of miquella, expression- and personalityless, a voiceless pawn to a god that steals everyones hearts
i dont need to be "right", i like to think about things, i am in the camp of he didnt want to or decided against it, but it doesnt really matter, even if miyazaki himself went onto stage and loudly declared that yes it was all planned from the start and radahn was in on it the whole time- i still would think the other way around it, i jsut think about him alot, i want to question things instead of taking everythign i hear at face value, especially when its very strangely told from one side, i will question every little thing if i only hear one side, no matter how much sense it makes or not, it makes me suspicious
(i some of this can be attributed about purely gameplay stuff, like the change in armor so he doesnt look the same etc, but i dont care, i like to think about the implications it brings with it, intentionally or not)
and there he is in a barren battlefield, eating the remains of whoever enters his isolated cage with the intent to kill him, never succeeding, howling like a lonely old wolf at the sky, is it desperation about a fate he cannot escape, grief about what hes done or failed to do, is it a call of yearning? for freedom?
we dont know. and it doesnt matter.
#ganondoodles talks#elden ring#long post#radahn#general radahn#starscourge radahn#elden ring dlc spoilers#im not a professional thinker tm#i dont know if imy making any sense#or am jsut projecting my childish thoughts onto this#i just feel so much for this guy#yes i probably could accept him actually accepting it#but is that really so bad#do i have to bend over to canon no matter what#can i not think about it differently?#its just a game in the end#and both me thinking and feeling so much and others getting worked up about me doing so is silly#it doesnt really matter in the end#this post too will just float away in the mass of the internet#and ultimately is a few hours worth of wasted words
