  • Someone should really take off the top part of that animal, for the betterment of most of the other similar animals.

  • Just musing on the fact that Bethesda doesn’t care about making games and instead just cashes in on nostalgia. I also think their finance bros realized their upcoming big IP drop is going to be an objective POS and wanted to prime people’s expectations by re-releasing a 20 year old game with some lipstick on it.

    It would be neat if they hired some people who actually had innovative ideas about gameplay, visuals and stories to maybe make a neat new game within an existing or new IP, but they haven’t done that in literal decades so I think its pretty reasonable to not be incredibly excited about anything they are putting out or planning to put out in the future.

  • Me hearing about Trump.

    Hope he meets a violent end soon. Hope this country gets some competent leaders soon too. That criminal and his associates deserve the worst form of justice.

    This situation we are in is the culmination of Capitalism and two nearly identical parties driving the United States for the past 2XX years.

    Oblivion remake is... really making it apparent how outdated Bethesda is in its approach to making games

    I know there’s great love for Oblivion (I never played it when it was new), and of course Skyrim is the gold standard for new fans (I played the shit out of that and it was my first entry into the elder scrolls back when it came out 14 years ago…) but I really feel like this shadow drop of a half assed remake is just priming everyone to lower their expectations for the likely dumpster fire that is The Elder Scrolls VI.

    I know its old hat nonsense of a complaint but whatever Bethesda used to be it stopped being that 20 years ago and we’re all just stuck thinking they’ll put out some new masterpiece when in reality all the talent they had back in the day has likely left for other jobs and they are now just a shitty company among countless other shitty companies putting profit over anything else and stifling anyone who might actually have good ideas on how to make good games (how unsurprising).

  • Can we deport this asshole to some random prison already and/or use the big droppy-sharp-thingy? So sick of hearing about him and knowing he’s freely traipsing around the world unhindered.

  • Often when I am sick of all the things I’ve been playing or feeling uninspired I go for a genre switch. To that end I will always recommend Neir: Replicant and Neir: Automata—I feel like a failure and a fool to have sat on them for so many years. Those are both games that feature very approachable gameplay with the whole deep story and cross genre mechanics that the split fiction devs seem to be good at (and are both single player), just be sure to continue playing after the first (and second and third, etc) credits roll.

    Other random suggestions:

    Bellwright is a really good colony sim / survival craft combo (although I’ve not played it single player so not sure how great it is in that mode).

    Cyberpunk 2077 is just fucking great if you haven’t played that.

    Disco Elysium if you’re really looking for some Get Stick Bugged content. (and a fantastic drunk cop RPG)

  • Dodged a bullet with the Witcher—the show went so off the rails with the source that it’s not even worth pretending it’s an adaptation. By all accounts the same is the case with the wheel of time but I have no first-hand knowledge with that ip.

  • Who cares? Both of them are just money grubbing charlatans.

  • I am going to say right now, the actual phrase is “a few bad apples spoil the bunch” and it is to literally say that yes, one or two massive assholes in any collective will eventually fuck shit up for everyone if not dealt with. I don’t know why the second part of that phrase stopped being acknowledged but it isn’t supposed to be just a hand wave to say oh it’s just one guy so let it go.

    also go be clear, i am talking about ICE, not the american citizens illegally detained for daring to return to their county while being human.

  • always use your turn signal ANY TIME you are changing from one lane to another, merging, or MIND BLOWING INFO: turning at an intersection.

    also turn it on with ample time to indicate YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE A TURN, YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKING ASSSHOLE PLOWING DOWN THE ROAD IN A MULTIPLE TON MUDERBOX COMPLETLEY IGNORING ANYONE ELSE IN EXISTENCE.

  • Me, not being a little baby man, am going to buy one at some point because I want to play the Zeldas and the Marios and no one is gonna keep me from enjoying those games when they come out—and I’m still gonna emulate on my Retroid ‘cause fuck Big Gaming.

  • Is it wRonG to Name an Anime INCREDIBLY descriptive in a Streaming Service World?? So What!!

  • “Flew off the handle” is a pretty wildly inaccurate way to describe what I wrote but since lemmy’s mods are becoming increasingly Reddit-like in their moderating I guess we’ll just have to live in a world where we can’t ask people if they're posting in earnest or being little shits without them freaking out.

  • How bad did I fuck up?

  • You can easily get your credit score from any number of places, just do a google search or like call your bank. They’re never gonna be the same but they are usually within 5-10 points depending on the source.

    But the real question is: why the hell were you opening so many credit cards in the first place?

  • Nintendo should’ve just hired a big hitter animation studio to make this. Live action is probably gonna end up with Japanese pop idols in shitty wigs and nylon costumes.

  • Dumb old man does dumb old shit and makes millions for it. What a neat world.

    NeiR: Automata is the sequel to NeiR: Replicant

    if you think about it Automata came out before but there is times it happened after. Near Reptile came out after btu is is it really that It came Before Never Automobile?

    Water doesnt go down a drain, the drain actually goes up the water

    if you take into account how the earth is moving all the time then the water isn’t actually going anywhere, its all just stationary while the earth moves every object around the water as necessary.

    what if 1930 is a galaxy far far away and actually andromeda is a long time ago?

    would that mean original star war is closer than we even knew it if real???

    Does anyone actually use the windows key on their keyboard as intended by the OS?

    Pretty much in the title, the only time I interact with the windows key in its standard operating condition is getting pissed off that the start menu opened. I use it in other capacities such as taking screen shots and other key commands but I got to wondering if anyone, ever actually uses it to access the start menu.

    Also if anyone comes here and posts “dOnT uSe wINdoWs,” you really are cute.

    Edit: I am more curious if anyone actually gets utility out of its default behavior (opening the start menu). I am aware that it is used in a number of key commands (although some are new to me).

    Just finished season 2 of Star Trek: Prodigy--it is absolutely criminal that Paramount (or CBS or whoever) cancelled it

    That show was already great and season 2 delivered and then some. Sure at points it feels kinda star wars-y but you can tell the creators really love Star Trek. The fact it was so unceremoniously cancelled then dumped really shows how out of touch studio executives are with the IP’s they own. Especially considering how god awful the final season of Discovery was (l mostly liked that show but Season 5 really leaned into every weak point of the series and jacked it up to 11).

    Anyway, I am annoyed we’ll likely never get a 3rd season of Prodigy—and even if we do it likely will lose the lightning they caught with the first two seasons. If y’all have been sleeping on it, please check it out.

    Shower thoughts are just thoughts but in a shower

    You can’t have a shower thought outside a shower so how can it be that thoughts in a shower are outside in the shower?

    Bear with me, if you have a shower thought outside is it in a shower if you’re showering?

    Really not liking the new "radio on foot" feature and I wish they made it optional.

    Don’t got not other social to complain on so here I am: I really am hating the on-foot radio. I honestly find most of the radio music in the game to be kinda annoying and I’m really annoyed that I have to manually turn it off now every single time I exit a vehicle. I like it when driving, I like it when its on a physical diegetic source in the game (like when there’s a radio turned on on a table in a scav den) but now having to just have the radio all or nothing is honestly just annoying. I wish they had implemented a way to toggle this option in the game settings (if there is and I haven’t found it PLEASE let me know).

    anyone else feeling this way? I am honestly kinda confused that this was an addition. I’d think car customization was a bigger community ask than “having a constant stream of generally annoying music” was big on the list.

    This game is literally unplayable

    Why would the devs do this to V?
