Now that they’ve entrenched an entire alternative universe in an election-winning proportion of the population, they don’t need it anymore.

Unless YouTube is going to be deliberately directing people to deprogramming content it’s too late.

The EU wouldn’t really stand for that.

Everyone hires modders. Bioware has been hiring them since 2005. Mods are basically a portfolio.

It’s crazy.

Bethesda have owned id Software, the best graphics engineers in the business, for a decade. They now even have Microsoft money. This is still, somehow, the best they can do.

It blows my mind that Bethesda have owned id Software for over a decade and haven’t at any point got them to make a version of id Tech engine for their games.

There’s literally no reason the graphics wizards at id couldn’t make a Bethesda branch of the engine that uses similar or identical workflows to Creation but also employs all the best practices for a modern open world engine.

Like, modders have made their own Open Morrowind engine from scratch, in their spare fucking time. It runs all the same files and all the same mods work, without any of the drawbacks of the Gamebryo engine. It would be trivial for id’s engineers, with their experience and resources, to make something better. For some reason Bethesda just… keep bolting new shit to the creaking husk of their old engine.

They all get reviewed by the same process as reports.

“Did you hear that? Sounds like there’s a huge football player getting some hard reps in your mom’s room.”

Actually encouraging creative use of language and a broad vocabulary to own someone seems like a great outcome?

Some of the best games have come from developers stepping out of their comfort zone.

Alien Isolation and Space Marine were made by RTS developers. Last of Us was made by the Crash Bandicoot developers. Insomniac made Spyro, then FPS series Resistance, then the Spiderman games.

Expecting a developer to only make one type of game forever is probably why they inevitably turn to shit and close.

The fact someone can kill anyone, intentionally or not, and expect to be free soon enough to get a job and pay child support is nuts.

Usually true of refugee populations. People in the West don’t realise what it takes to leave your country forever and build a new life from nothing somewhere else. These are strong people who value community and charity because they can’t take it for granted anymore.

The line doesn’t need to move quicker, and Ukraine moving slowly and shoring up every meter they take is going to work out better long term. They aren’t on a march to invade their lost territory, they are on a march to the Azov sea to cut Russia’s only remaining land access to Crimea.

They are building a wall of men and weapons and once that reaches Azov they only have to defend it - and Ukraine are very good at defence.

Then the only way Russia has to get anything to Crimea is the Kerch bridge which is almost inevitably going to be destroyed.

All the Russians you have met left Russia :)

And what they do have was built and developed by the Soviets.

Clearly hasn’t compared the US and Chinese economic data

Elon Musk is still getting owned on his own platform and is assembling the most sophisticated ad hominem generator known to man.

Any reviews touch on PC performance?

And I don’t mean “it ran a smooth 30fps on my 4090”, I mean is the FPS unlocked, does performance chug in random places etc.?

Should have bought a PC
