- Comment on What was life like for the "average" person living in Nazi Germany 2 days ago:
This is absolutely inaccurate and borderline revisionism. Germans were not held at gunpoint to heil Hitler or risk being shot, the average german was perfectly happy and enjoyed the comforts naziism brought them. This inaccurate portrayal does nothing but abstract naziism to be an entity that only exists under specific horrifying conditions and not the reality that for the vast majority of Germans they were happy to be nazis.
Please go read about nazi germany before you make up some fanfic about how it was just like the wolfenstein games. “They Thought They were free” is a book entirely centered around the experiences of the average German during the nazi regime and not one word of your description is in his book.
From Milton Mayer:
These ten men were not men of distinction. They were not men of influence. They were not opinion-makers. Nobody ever gave them a free sample of anything on the ground that what they thought of it would increase the sales of the product. Their importance lay in the fact that God—as Lincoln said of the common people—had made so many of them. In a nation of seventy million, they were the sixty-nine million plus. They were the Nazis, the little men to whom, if ever they voiced their own views outside their own circles, bigger men politely pretended to listen without ever asking them to elaborate.
Only one of my ten Nazi friends saw Nazism as we—you and I—saw it in any respect. This was Hildebrandt, the teacher. And even he then believed, and still believes, in part of its program and practice, “the democratic part.” The other nine, decent, hard-working, ordinarily intelligent and honest men, did not know before 1933 that Nazism was evil. They did not know between 1933 and 1945 that it was evil. And they do not know it now. None of them ever knew, or now knows, Nazism as we knew and know it; and they lived under it, served it, and, indeed, made it.

My gf says the same thing. She thinks they’re comfy but she cant wear them as part of an outfit. I’m sure if someone made joggers without the hang they’d get plenty of customers. I’m surprised nobody has tried yet, its like the only legitimate complaint I hear from people about them lol

Yeah its like the mages guild house! I wasn’t sure if the enchanting tables there were different from the rest of the game, I’m too poor to afford the candles lol that kinda sucks it costs money even at the player house. I’m broke as hell in oblivion. I keep finding new player houses right after spending my money on upgrading the last one! Frostcrag is by far the cheapest to upgrade though, I really regret not going there first :(

Ugh the bruma makes quild recommendation took me, I kid you not, and entire week. I never got any prompt options after finding the guy hiding and assumed I had to get up enough mysticism to cast dispel on him lmao
After a week of making no progress leveling mysticism I went back and they were like yeah just go get a book or something and I’ll stop hiding
The staff you get is well worth it though, I wasn’t sure what I would use a staff for so I just went with shock and holy shit that staff is the most overpowered thing in my kit. 80 points of shock damage per hit with some 120 charges when full. I only ever take it out when I’m fighting hoardes or doing a boss-like mission because it clears rooms so fast lol

Look, this guys failure to properly plan his business around his own politics is reason itself for his business to fail lmao
How does one own a small business, vote for the guy campaigning on a trade war, then get shocked when your small business is ruined by the trade war?
Oh no, the consequences of my actions, what have I done to deserve this!

Its the technology sub, and there’s AI being deployed to infiltrate all the institutions that contain everyone’s most sensitive data. The company responsible is a tech company. That’s why it’s in the technology sub. I agree that it’s annoying to have this news blasted at me every day but I can’t just make it go away until everyone is just as sick of it and stands up to stop it.
If this were the cat memes community and someone posted this article I might forgive your attitude but, like, nobody asked? There’s three dots on the post with which you can block the community if you don’t want to be aware of technofeudalism usurping more and more of your personal life.
Scroll your subscribed feed and you won’t have this problem. I just don’t think that’s a effective way to deal with the actual problem of it being important and thus pervasive.

- Comment on The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remaster is real - Eurogamer 1 month ago:
Avowed was a recent unreal open world game that didn’t have many issues but I still had at least one point in my playthrough where every object was ghost trailing and map textures were stretched across the sky. Thats from obsidian busting their asses and it was great outside of the one major glitch.
With oblivion being what it is in its original form and then being handed to some outside studio to port to unreal it just sounds like a nightmare scenario. Maybe they’re unreal specialists idk but they can’t be better than Bethesda themselves. I’ll be holding my breath until we get confirmation but I’ll have to see what people think once it’s out before I’m gonna risk spending money on this. OG oblivion is free on gamepass and I can stream it to my phone lol
If it does end up being great, fantastic! Im just not trusting Todd Howard to do the right thing anymore lmao
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remaster is real - Eurogamer 1 month ago:
Huh, I never knew satisfactory was in unreal. On that point, if they offloaded development to a 3rd party studio does that impact your expectations? Idk who it is but I saw a bunch of people saying it wasn’t Bethesda remaking it

😮
I remember that one from the PSP but I never played it. I didn’t know it was on DS and mobile too! That’s actually pretty sick. It looks much more like the original GTA games, which is not what I expected. I bet that was neat for the time with gta 4 having just dropped!

- Comment on The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remaster is real - Eurogamer 1 month ago:
Im not denying the bugginess of oblivion I’m more concerned about the general unplayability of a lot of Unreal games in this latest gen
Like if the bugs were bad when they wrote the code I can’t imagine porting that code into unreal with its famously poor optimizations is anything but the worst case scenario for this remaster lmao
My hope was that they were porting it to creation 2 with upscaled assets and taking some time to squash the most egregious bugs. Hearing it’s going to be a ue5 port now I’m almost not even willing to give it a chance. We shall see. For all we know, this could just be industry drivel getting us excited about a fake leak.
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remaster is real - Eurogamer 1 month ago:
Theres no way I’m reading this in real life
We’re saying the oblivion port to UE5 is going to be less buggy? That makes you hopeful?? What is this place??? Did the gta trilogy not make it to lemmy?
