Morrowind definitely did from my memory! Yeah, the gaming trend they’ve decided on would be to fill maps with more shit and call it good. I miss those well made maps, that were smaller in scale but were handcrafted with care. Bigger is better tends to lead to worse outcomes, unless the team puts in the hard work…

Yeah, sometimes big games aren’t all that great; if the focus of a game is diluted too much, the end product becomes mediocre in nature. It shows with Starfield as it’s a bloated mess with little care and attention focused on the core, essential features! Strategic emptiness is such a powerful tool, yet very few devs effectively utilize it.

It is an old game, but The Fun Pimps have been working on it the whole time; the old console version was the only one that wasn’t getting updates because the studio that maintained it went under. It’s still surprising for me, even, that the 1.0 is releasing on July 25th.

There have been stories of Todd Howard ‘seagulling’ basically coming into meetings, shitting out ideas that he wanted teams to work on and flew the fuck out of there. It is highly disruptive of a boss to do this; as the dev teams would know how to handle things. It would be nice that if they could optimize their team structures and produce better games as a result. Being in a union would give them better control over their working conditions.

Freaking finally, Bethesda Games Studio has been an odious thing for a long time! Can’t wait to see what kind of strong-arm action can be leveled against Bethesda. 😏💪🏼

The rich can afford to be taxed properly, enough to minimize their power over generations! Their money could do a lot of good, if only it were pried from their avaricious hands.

If I were an EU citizen, I’d sign!

I’ve been playing 7 Days to Die, the experimental 1.0! It’s been a fun but challenging experience. I’ve logged about 72 hours now (I had some play time before starting on the Experimental 1.0). I plan on playing Spirittea again on Xbox because they dropped the Fishing Update finally (Microsoft took their sweet time in evaluating the update).

We can’t have a repeat of that fateful 2016; I want a woman as president, unfortunately it will have to happen by Joe dying during a second term. I can imagine the Right screaming about Kamala being president (louder than they are at the mere possibility).

I hope the FTC can punish Microsoft hard enough to make other companies think twice about breaking promises in regard to price hikes post mergers.

Not something that I would ever try, but then again I don’t like coleslaw in general! I prefer cabbage prepared in different ways.

Fascinating, I will be reading this article for inspiration; I wanted to write a homoerotic western fic. This article will dramatically help with that process!

Bernie would’ve caused so much positive disruption that they wouldn’t be prepared for. AOC could probably get behind whatever Bernie was selling; the rest of the Democrats, I’m not so sure.

Life would be better if human beings collectively worked to make life better for the previous, current, and next generation of human beings. By creating policies that positively impact the society, quality of life could be much better. Life would gain more meaning if the standard of living would increase, work wasn’t an ever free time-consuming thing, the ailments of the mind were handled much better. We need to fix the crisis that homelessness, hunger, limited or no access to healthcare can cause within a society. If people had the chance to live without worries about the immediate future, perhaps depression would not be such an issue. Right now, it feels like a select many who got theirs are desperate to make sure not many people get the same opportunities. Some want to actively dismantle democracy and destroy the very few social safety nets the USA has, I see this as another source of misery (at least in the USA in particular).

I don’t know what you’ve been reading, but the last time I checked: Science hasn’t proven that there is no god or afterlife; this is still an open question at the moment. It’s a matter of faith, as science is chasing far more important answers. I personally neither disbelief nor believe in a God; there’s no direct proof save what people have written about said being. If anything, a serious lack of direct communication with all living beings on Earth seems to be an indication of an absence of a Creator Being. Also, given the contradictory nature of the bible; it feels like the pure work of man, with no higher power involved. Those who were desperate to control people through faith; latching on to the chance to control a faith-based narrative, since polytheism was on its way out.

She is merely the political conduit from which their chaotic stupidity is expressed. Just a vessel which has basic needs, taking up a seat which would be better served by having someone smarter in it.

Yeah, at the end of the day, I strongly feel being certain things is simply an immutable part of being a person. Nobody chooses to be straight, gay, bi, pan, or anything else related to attraction. There is a choice to ignore or act upon those feelings, often people are put in terrible situations as a result.

I do agree with your argument though, as human rights so remain intact regardless of choice or no choice! We all live in a world we can’t yet escape and need some semblance of social contract to survive. I have a lot of fun ideas for what to do with Republicans as well; as it is a choice they’ve made to be bigoted, shortsighted fascists. Compulsory Drag Show attendance, they’re invited to a Library bit; they are going to get read to filth and hate every moment of self-awareness which will be inflicted upon them. Silly, but that’s the tip of the iceberg!

Yikes, that’s a jump scare in the form of a person. At least the little, impotent hands are accurately depicted.

This is what brain drain looks like and damn is it terrifying to behold!

Eh?? The unenlightened bigots are still going on about how being gay is a choice? That somehow choosing to be miserable and conform to a heteronormative would make the gay go away?! Only to later either break free of the brainwashing which led to conforming to an obvious lie of being straight or simply taking a one way trip out of this world. Stupid, fascist Republicans don’t have much to offer but ruin and one big white world, drained of all its color. Hopefully, this November, we trounce these entitled fascists.

In my own personal experience as a child, I simply knew that I was different. I didn’t realize until the hormones activated how different I was! Then again, I was able to reflect on that with something called ‘reading about the experiences of others and trying to find points in common’. JD Vance likely had nothing but bigoted talking points screamed into his ears and he gave in.

ROFL Hilarious, I love these harmless prank!

Yikes, Taboola is the scummiest advertising company in my opinion! This is such an out of touch move, its likely making them a boat load of money (this is all they care about).
