Dude. The preorders literally "sold out." My brother messaged me last week asking why there was a huge line out the door at GameStop, and I had to look it up because that was also the day Switch 2 preorders started.

G*mers are the bane of other gamers' existence. Also, most people have literally no self-control.

I'm surprised you think it's repetitive and it makes you want to go back to Skyrim lol.

But that said, anytime I play an Elder Scrolls game, I always get the urge to play the other ones too, so I get it. It usually ends up taking months of my life away whenever it happens though.

I've been playing the Remaster and it looks immaculate, and it's the same game. Different strokes I know, but I am loving the Remaster so far.

That said, I got Schedule 1 the other night and I put in two all-nighters already so far. That game is addicting - like the crack you can cook and sell in it.

You'd be surprised. There are/were mods for Marvel's Spider-Man to replace the Pride flags flying around NYC to American flags. I'm almost positive there were some fucked up ones for the Miles Morales game too.

They literally put motherfucking Space Marine 2 on their list because there are a couple female guardsmen in the story that are apparently field officers. Also the fact that Titus is the only white man in his squad this time around.

People are getting fucking pissy about the Oblivion Remaster because in the character creator, instead of "male/female" you choose "type 1/type 2," and that's like literally the only reason they're upset. Iirc, no one refers to your character throughout the entire game with any pronouns besides "you," so it's literally meaningless to get upset about it.

Don't even get me started on the games they put in the "warning" list, which is basically just the people making the list saying "look we just like these games even though there's shit in there that should absolutely make us shit ourselves in fake rage"

I found (unsurprisingly) a drug testing center, a couple different gun stores/training centers, plenty of ran-out-of-the-rundown-trailer-in-middle-of-the-burbs mechanics, a couple hair and nail salons, and a couple lawyers all in my immediate area.

My mom orders stuff from them all the time. We don't even use the spices fast enough but she gets more, usually for her friends too though.

Hell it happens here on Lemmy. And tbh I've thought about doing it too, shit's way too depressing right now.

It's actually gonna be a miniseries

Maybe it was something like a word-swap mod to change "type 1/type 2" to "male/female" that got banned?

No clue. /s

ETA: which, I saw a couple posts in the steam discussions "celebrating" that Nexus put that mod back up. Like how fucking childish do you have to be to actually go out of your way to make a post like that? Saying shit like "I bet all the people who complained about it in the first place are CRYING right now!" It's literally changing some words in a menu of a fucking video game

Everyone gains collective amnesia about all the good times they had playing/modding Bethesda games whenever they're in the news cycle for some reason. It's kind of fascinating/frustrating.

Add in the fact that a lot of these people have regressed over the past 10 or so years to the point where they think like 12-13 year olds again, and we get this whole "anti-woke gamer" bullshit.

To be completely fair though, I had to go out of my way to find people shitting on the game for even being "woke" in the first place. I saw the type 1/type 2 body type when I was making my character, but I just figured it was a natural progression since every other game with a character creator in the last 5 years has done away with gendered body types, and Oblivion is such a classic that it might have been overlooked; sadly not. In my head though (also because duh, it's obvious if you use your eyes) I ascribe each to male or female, and it took me like a second to get through that entire thought process.

My mom embarrassed me all the time as a kid, but only because she's a boisterous, loud personality. She never really did anything on purpose, and I was never the one to throw a tantrum in public so there was no need.

And they all started playing Minecraft unironically.

Love that episode.

I remember watching Grand Thumb's video on actual grand thumb, because I had never known it was a thing (I'm not huge on guns and I like history, but not that much) and thought it was interesting. A couple years later and there's a video of him shooting guns with a couple other guntubers out in the bush, and iirc there wasn't anything explicitly said or stated in the video, but I just got an overwhelming vibe of "good ol' boys shootin and drinkin and talkin trash" which rubbed me the wrong way.

Asmon is fucking disgusting human trash who wallows in his own filth, thinking it's normal to do. Like letting rats decompose into the carpet right next to where he sleeps, or not cleaning up his vomit "because he liked the smell"

Been playing nonstop since it came out. I'm already level 30, almost done with Mages Guild and nothing else.

It's back.

G*mers are so far gone I'm not sure we can save them at this point.

Edit: dude literally believes people are gonna hack into your PC and uninstall certain mods or games if it doesn't fit with a certain worldview in a couple years. If anything, the only evidence I've seen for people to totally censor shit like video games (and other media) is nazis Republicans.

Well, this is a discussion thread, and I found some shit I need to discuss, although not with the game itself directly, but with "fans" and other G*mers:

This chucklefuck is actually getting some attention and people agree with them. The human race is fucked if the average person thinks like this on a daily basis. I'm not sure what's worse; the out in the open bigotr, or the fact that they're apparently okay with the current administration turning the government a completely fascist regime, or let alone they think this administration is "too soft" on perceived entertainment slights.

Like why does reality have to be so shit?

I was told jank was left in specifically because that's a huge part of Oblivion in the first place.

Part of me appreciates it. Also it's just using the same code from the original game, so I guess they wouldn't want to fuck with it too much. Duct tape and voodoo, after all.

I understand that, and I care who I give my money to as well.

But almost every game nowadays has that clause, and almost every game regardless of single player or not, has mods for it.

This is also a Bethesda game. People are going to mod it out the ass regardless of what a few words in a text box say. The fact you think it means anything like we'll never get official mod support is pretty cooked tbh.
