- Comment on Obsidian's The Outer Worlds 2 Underperformed, and There Won't Be a Third - IGN 20 hours ago:
Well they definitely learned a lot from Bethesda. Maybe too much. But they also outperform Bethesda in a lot of ways. Like using unreal, it just allows way more realistic facial movements than any Bethesda game allows, making NPCs feel far more realistic, and therefore allowing better immersion. But Bethesda absolutely needs to start from scratch with a new engine if they want to continue using their own. With an updated engine it could pump out games much faster than trying to continuously upgrade the old ass engine to look better. It’s seriously out of date when facial movements still are only confined to the mouth like their newest game, starfield. Like games back in the day would use the same engine and get a new one out 2-3 years later. Why can’t we do that again?
I just want more content, if you put out a game I love, I don’t need the most advanced version of it, just give me another with a new story on the same engine. It worked great with old grand theft Auto games. I totally understand why it wouldn’t work like call of duty, because they put almost no effort in the story. But cutting down on on the effort of the engine, and focusing on story, would be fine. Their biggest anchor is the engine.

Assuming those games don’t get pulled.

Fallout is anti-corporate. But you’re dealing with the aftermath of runaway capitalism, instead of being inside of it. Whereas the outer worlds felt like a too long episode of Futurama featuring mom corp.

They were a little too heavy handed on the preachyness imo. I agree with the point but that doesn’t mean I want to be hit with a metaphorical hammer for 20+ hours.

The first was meh. Dunno about the second, but I have to assume it was also meh.

The first one felt very forced as far as the leftist story goes. I’m as leftist as there is but it still felt really heavy handed. I got maybe 3 hours in and never picked it up again.

I’ve gotten my nails surgically swapped with tiger claws. It’s not great for manipulation of objects, but that’s what I use my prehensile prolapsed anus for.
- Comment on World's Best-selling Video Game Consoles 4 weeks ago:
You didn’t notice the 360 there? Which tbf had its sales boosted by routinely shitting the bed right after the warranty expired. But also killed sales for future Xbox sales. At least for a chunk of people I played with back then.

Yeah my mom was from the south, and we’d go to family reunions where she and her brother would stay up late and loudly talk about me while I tried to sleep.
- Comment on Is there a point we can track down when we stopped caring about doctors, nurses, teacher, etc? And thought it was a great idea to pay atheletes millions and screw everyone else? 5 weeks ago:
Why athletes? People attack athletes all the time and ignore that the team owners make $ with a B instead of an M. CEOs do far less for their organization than athletes and make far more money.
- Comment on Why aren't tall people also wider? 5 weeks ago:
I dunno, I’m 6’4 and broad shouldered. I’ve let myself go a bit and am getting chunky but people still act like I’m an NFL linebacker or something. It’s weird and uncomfortable when people are openly talking about your physical traits, even if they feel like it’s a positive thing.
- Comment on What're your strong opinions from an aged / dead fandom? 5 weeks ago:
I’ll watch anything Alan Ritchson does. Dude is totally underrated as an actor just because he’s big and muscular. People act like he’s just a modern Sylvester stalone, but dudes got range and a great comedic ability. Sometimes overblown and blatant (blue mountain state, playdate) and sometimes subtle (titans, reacher), but he always hits the mark.

Zombies ate my neighbors needs a revival. A comical survival/horror game with a system that isn’t so convoluted and complicated that it’s limiting. Why do no survival games come with a usable tutorial to tell you how to do things in the game? It always just throws you into the game with 47 menus and you’re supposed to sus it out before dying.

You can still buy kits for old designs or anything designed before a certain year, can’t remember exactly.

The point was that as bad as cyberpunk’s future is, I’m fairly certain ours will be worse in 52 years. At least in their timeline there’s a resistance.
- Comment on The existence of billionaires is a policy failure 2 months ago:
I’ve played fallout for more than 2 decades. How the fuck are we diving face first into every sci-fi dystopia at the same time? Like, there’s hints of star wars, dune, fallout, 1984, the outer worlds, hunger games, Idiocracy etc. I’m hoping cyberpunk 2077 shows up and gives a sliver of a chance.

I just take what lemmy agrees is reality. Then I add an 80% more depressing adjustment to that, and I’m usually pretty close. Like hegseth getting fired means hell be replaced by the resurrected corpse of John Wayne gacey.
