Just watched this yesterday. Great concept for a video.
That factory set-up is certainly a thing that exists now. Lol

What an absolutely fucked up mentality. Poor people deserve luxuries as well. Life shouldn’t be only about survival, that’s not healthy for one’s mental well-being. You’re fucked in the head, mate.
Quit carrying water for soulless companies.

Understood, thank you for clarifying.
- Comment on Bethesda roadmap: more Fallout is coming, Starfield support continues, but Elder Scrolls VI is the main priority 1 week ago:
ESO isn’t being developed by Bethesda Game Studios. Zenimax Online Studios is the developer.
It’s only relationship to Bethesda is through the publishing side, Bethesda Softworks.
All of these companies are owned by Zenimax Media.

Studio is shut down anyways. They are literally just leaving their legacy alive instead of allowing it to be buried with them. I don’t think any costs are gonna be recouped.
- Comment on Should I buy a Switch 2 despite owning an OLED? 1 week ago:
Or learn to live without and play other titles.
- Comment on Should I buy a Switch 2 despite owning an OLED? 1 week ago:
Personally, fuck Nintendo and their bullshit anti-consumer practices, so I’d say learn to live without.

Because most people don’t really give two shits about the arbitrary semantics of casual arguments.

Yea, bit of a double edged sword and doubly so with who is swinging it.
Glad they see it’s a problem of structure that’s getting in the way of creation but their methods of trimming the excess has sadly closed a lot of my favorite studios.
We will never get a Prey 2 no matter what iteration it seems.

Tango is still Tango, even if they now have to shoulder the yoke that is Krafton. I’m still excited for more Hi-Fi Rush.
Krafton did lose massively in that attempt and the original Subnautica creators are getting everything they are owed plus some.
Subnautica 2 is definitively a Subnautica game, going back to what made the game great in the original instead of the flop that was Below Zero. So, I’m pretty confident Hi-Fi 2 will be good and maintain the vision of the first game.
Still, whether or not I’m paying for it depends on how much Krafton wants fuck around.

Oh sweet.

The Bethesda-id software-ZeniMax shit is so confusing, especially since Microsoft acquired Zenimax, and by extension Bethesda and id, in 2021.
They are “technically” separate but Bethesda is still the primary publisher of id software’s games, and thus they do fall under their umbrella.
- Comment on 'We Need to Change Course' — Bethesda Boss Tells Staff the Company Must Focus on 'Our Strongest Franchises' as Xbox Layoffs Hit Hard 2 weeks ago:
Not as far as I’m aware.

Seriously, it isn’t like Bethesda has a long list of IP to work with here.
Other than Elder Scrolls and Fallout (which they should already be assumed to be focusing on to begin with), the only other IPs that are still alive would be DOOM and maybe Wolfenstein,
Dishonored is dead, Quake is dead, they shuttered Tango so no continuation of Hi-Fi Rush or Ghostwire, RAGE is dead.
Another Indiana Jones maybe?
- Comment on [OC] Anon is a femcel 3 weeks ago:
The real issue is that, most of the time, those who want to do harm are themselves emotionally vulnerable and hurt, which is why they gravitated to those in-groups in the first place. They turn their pain into justification which entitles them to harm others as an act of retribution. “Eye for an eye” type shit.
Every incel/femcel began as a teenager that didn’t know better, who was probably just a little weird or was taught some bullshit by their parents, who got bullied for what they perceived as being nothing more than themselves, and they had no one to help them cope with it in a healthy way.

I loved playing as Lanky Kong.
I had that, 007, Pokemon Stadium, and Tony Hawk. Anything else I had to rent from Blockbuster.

Turok.
- Comment on "Profoundly Disappointed:" Companies Respond To Sony's Decision To End Disc Support 3 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t. Even if bigger companies spoke up, it’s only performatively to garner consumer support for their brand.
- Comment on End of an era? 3 weeks ago:
What really sucks is that Marathon is actually pretty fun.
They just completely fumbled the marketing and launch, the UI needs to be cleaned up, and it doesn’t feel worth it at $40. IDC if it’s a AAA developer, it’s still a pretty small game content wise even if it is fun to play.

Don’t cite the deep magic to me. I was there when it was written. I grew up playing OG Prey
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
I did have hope that the executives and pencil pushers at MS which forced Arkane to make that mess of a game would have wised up after the success of recent immersive, story-focused, single-player titles to let Arkane do what they do best instead of forcing them to make a game chasing trends in an attempt to garner the widest audience possible even though the devs have no experience in makes those kinds of titles.
But alas, giant megacorp will be giant megacorp about it.

Sneak King was fun but, sorry not sorry, Pocketbike Racer was the best. No clue what the third one was.

Sometimes I forget that the LEGO games are just really fancy ads.

That game was a fever dream.

Bethesda still manages to stay in the “honorable mention” category.

RIP to my hopes of another Prey title.
- Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? 5 weeks ago:
Felt like they would respawn but maybe I just misremembering between saves. I’ve not regretted getting the skills. Being able to make my own scrolls has been great.
- Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? 5 weeks ago:
I wanted parts and didn’t want to wait on the long respawn times; so I kept the wildlife plentiful until I had the ability to acquire their better parts.
Leveling is the strongest gains but leveling doesn’t do crap if you accidentally run into something you’re not supposed to and get ganked cause you were unfamiliar with the area on permadeath.
- Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? 5 weeks ago:
And that’s the beauty of this immersive game. My play was completely different.
I was also pretty liberal with my usage of consumables. I’m always blazing that smokeweed and I chugged potions like a kid discovering soda.
The scouting with scrolls is also a godsend permadeath. Things leave you alone to explore the wilderness. Granted, I don’t get to pick anything up along the way but I get to plan and sometimes straight avoid encounters over my head that are blocking my way somewhere.
