Exactly. Same with Meta platforms. You’re not fighting with a concept or an idea, this is their entire personality. They don’t care how horrid the viewpoint is, they’re just happy to be better than something. There’s a reason that it’s usually the poorest and lowest of our society, it’s because they want to feel better than people when they deep down know they’re not. It’s why it’s so hateful. It’s why they get joy even when it hurts themselves. They’re winning at something.

I think back to the maps that the sites released. The weirdest stuff was always consumed by the reddest areas. Look at the biggest areas where Step anything content is accessed. It’s overwhelmingly red.

There’s a plugin for SteamOS that does this, I’m on Bazzite and it works very well.

And they wanted it that way. They were like well that’s what it’s really like! Which like yeah great, but that’s terribly boring for a game.

Another game like that was Mass Effect 1, where they had the undiscovered worlds, but even those were more entertaining. They gave you a mako, and each planet had at least one faction with at least some backstory to it so it wasn’t a complete waste. Starfield is like, nothing. I encounter the exact same building structure and camps multiple times on my single playthrough. Absolutely uninspired

Oh my god.

Why not just pure iron?

Yeah, I’m in my thirties making a good living loving what I’m doing and she still regularly brings up how sad it is I gave up on my “true passion” - the thing she pushed me into that I told her over and over I didn’t want to do. She cried when I didn’t choose it as my major. So… not applicable in my case

God how did they fuck that up? Who thought I’d want to fast travel there? Sure sometimes, but honestly I’d love it if it showed how many minutes to destination and then you started jumping.

You’re in the pilots chair, you see 10 minutes to the other side of the galaxy where your mission is. You hesitate because that’s far, but 2 minutes away is your home base anyway so might as well swing through and drop off some stuff, make sure the pumps and extractors are working. 6 minutes past that is that side quest you’ve been putting off, I guess we can do that too. You hit the jump button, stars whizz past. You go talk with your crew, get caught up on conversations. You jump back in the chair when the 20 second warning goes off. You jump out and arrive, but there is a weird signal on a nearby planet in this system…

Now THAT’s the game i wanted. Altering one mechanic right there completely changes the entire style of the game. I will forever be annoyed that everything in the game is instant fast travel. Sure have a button there to skip if people want to, but personally I prefer to lay back and fully immerse myself

This is sweet, happy mother’s day to those moms. My mom pushed me into things I didn’t like and told her I didn’t like. So this gave me emotions lol

It was incredibly mid. For something Bethesda hyped for over half a decade they sure made a bland game. Throwing aside all of the incredibly dated gameplay, you hit the nail on the head. It was boring

You can tell every faction was decided by a corporate committee inside Bethesda and Microsoft. They couldn’t be too risky, couldn’t come close to possibly offending one person or risk having slightly fewer gamers. That results in a boring as hell game. Everyone was too goddamn nice in the game. No one ever got mad at you. You could punch someone in the face and the response would be “hey, that’s not nice” and then they would continue on. Hold on there don’t want to possibly scare off a potential customer by having a realistic situation there.

All those red counties can keep enjoying paying over $100 a month for terrible local cable company “100mbps” (20mbps in reality) download speeds with 56k upload. That’s the great America they wanted after all. Meanwhile in my very blue city I pay $60 a month for symmetric gigabit.

Nobody should be optimizing to use unity anymore. I know personally devs who have worked there and confirmed this is their business now, just strangling devs for license revenue. They may open the gate a bit at the beginning to lock you in, but they’ll slam it shut eventually behind you. And god knows if your game is even remotely successful they’re going to go out of their way to get their hands on your money

Ah life path number 3 combo for the Midwest woman. Become a nurse and have children.

Personally I’m bias, I saw four (women) friends either drop out of college, or get pregnant early, or one was convinced to give up her career by her future husband, all to drop in the fallback of nursing and then each have like 3 kids. They all live within 20 miles of where they were born and none of them followed through with the dreams they had. So I see this and my heart sinks remembering that, and wondering about them

Just fork it immediately

Ok good I wasn’t the only one who jumped to this

God I hope anything. Mover is so opaque as to what it’s doing or why. Or worse why it’s not moving something

Jesus in today money that’s 60k for a house. For a nice hours our parents bought

And then bitch and moan when anything doesn’t go absolutely perfectly in their favor.

Yeah it was all manufactured. They caused people to rage and defend video games, while also dropping her into the middle of a parody and highly satirized version of LA with no context. It was all just for clicks
