  • If you could regulate something relatively inconsequential, what would it be?

  • The one I buy has a Ziploc but it's very shittily attached to the inside of the bag. So sometimes it breaks off and then both sides of the Ziploc are stuck to one wall of the bag and it becomes useless.

  • People just take any opportunity to rant about their favourite cause that gets them fired up. They don't care about a fun premise for a thread. Sidenote: that would be my inconsequential thing to regulate; that people would always have to respond to forum posts on topic and in the spirit of the post.

  • As a forever DM, this is pretty real. I try to always hear my players when they tell me they had fun and take it to heart.

    You're always your own worst critic.

  • Moose do actually cow. They are incredibly scary and imposing.

  • Are we ever going to see a remake of any Bethesda game?

    Jump

  • Whenever people criticise Bethesda games for their engine, I pretty much assume right away they know nothing about game development. Bethesda's engine is something they have a lot of control over and can constantly improve and iterate on. It's not as though Starfield and Morrowind are running on the exact same codebase.

    Starfield is bad because of bad game design, not bad game development. Skyrim was buggy on release as well, and yet people loved it because the design of the game was good enough that people were willing to forgive the programming flaws. People overvalue the engine in discussions about Bethesda games and it's become this meme among people to seem like they sound like they know what they're talking about, but ultimately the flaws in Bethesda games that determine their success has very little to do with what engine they use.

    Also, the Skyblivion team is constantly releasing dev diaries showing the progress, and the mod is nearly finished. It looks very well done, and the whole thing is out in the open. There's no reason to be cynical about whether it will ever release when you can literally go look at the progress with your own eyes.

  • For Oblivion, there is Skyblivion coming out next year.

    Not sure what you hope would be added in a "remake" though. You're asking for something which would inherently do very little and be exactly the sort of cash grab that we normally condemn. You want these games with better graphics or mechanics? Play with mods.

  • Is linux actually gaming ready or is it just not for me?

    Jump

  • The Anno games are notoriously hard to run on Linux. Protip: always check Protondb for Linux compatibility.

    Also, if you find yourself missing Anno on Linux, check out Tropico or any number of city builders by Hooded Horse. There are lots of great resource production chain city builders out there that don't force you to use Uplay

  • [Recommendation] Renowned Explorers: International Society

    Jump

  • I'm a big fan of this game. It's tactically deep and can be fairly punishing while also being whimsical and silly. And I love the fact that encounters can be resolved with or without violence. The characters are all dripping with personality and it has a fun sort of globetrotting vibe.

  • Now I'm imagining the deal between Tesla and Siemens:

    Siemens guy: alright Mr Musk, just sign these papers and the mireo will be leased to your company

    Elon (in 8 year old voice): woo! I made a Giga train! Choo Choo!

    Siemens guy: umm, okay... As I said, the train is a Siemens Mireo. Hopefully this lease agreement will benefit both of our companies

    Elon: nuh uh! It's a Giga train and I invented it! Nobody ever had anything like this for getting around before!

  • So funny when a corpo is forced to seem positive about something where there is absolutely no positive way of spinning it. It has this surreal energy where the person doing PR seems almost uncanny, like some kind of lizard person.

  • If I'm writing a blacklist for slurs, I'm not thinking of archaic words like "griffe". I'm just making sure it doesn't use anything that would be used in a modern context.
