- Comment on Bethesda announces a new Fallout... reality show 4 days ago:
There’s zero chance there won’t be a Fallout 5 but Elder Scrolls is their next major game, so it won’t be soon.
If it came out tomorrow it wouldn’t be “soon,” Fallout 4 came out 11 years ago.
In the meantime there’s a great free Fallout game for anyone who wants it despite it not being titled Fallout 5.
The game is currently listed for $39.99 on Steam. Reviews are “mixed” after 5 years of Bethesda adding content to the game, which originally released to overwhelmingly negative reviews, so not “great”.
It doesn’t require a subscription or microtransactions and making it sound like some sort of mobile game only shows you don’t know what it is.
The game does not charge for a subscription, but you most certainly have to have one, because you have to login to the game. There would be no way for them to try and sell you shit through their microtransaction store every single time you login otherwise. Which they do. You are not obliged to buy them, but you are obliged to view ads for them.
Now then. Every single thing you just said is demonstrably wrong. What exactly makes you the authority on what Bethesda intends to do with Fallout?
- Comment on Bethesda announces a new Fallout... reality show 4 days ago:
I’m not sure what your point is - is it that they made Fallout 76 so you could play it for free? Or that Fallout 76 is proof they’re going to make Fallout 5? Or what.
- Comment on Bethesda announces a new Fallout... reality show 5 days ago:
Bethesda is not going to make a new Fallout game while Fallout 76 keeps printing money.
I’ve said this all along, they want subscriptions and mtx, they don’t want to make video games. Starfield was the last one we will get and we only got that because it was Todd’s stupid baby. ESO and F76 are where they want to be going forward. They will keep expanding them and accepting people’s money and license TV shows now I guess.

She probably has an odontoma that redirected the eruption of her adult teeth.
Or is a vampire.
- 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? 3 weeks ago:
I think the real problem is a government structure that lends itself to being captured by monied interests. The problem of capitalism chasing the money is only a problem because we have a government unable to properly tax the wealthy to ensure no one can amass the kind of wealth that makes it possible to capture the government.

A nice M.L.T. - a mutton, lettuce, and tomato sandwich when the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe…
- Comment on Is it gay to have pleasurable sex with your wife? 2 months ago:
Yeah, was gonna say - this guy is another one of the “always, in every context, thinking about gay sex” closeted Republicans. Religion does this to them, the systematic and merciless repression of sexuality causes it to become an immense burden.

- Comment on Love’s a two-way dream 2 months ago:
Well. Robin Williams, a (hilarious) American comedian and actor, gained much of his early fame/notoriety on a TV show called Mork and Mindy circa 1978 in which Robin played an alien named Mork.
The show was actually a spinoff of Happy Days, where the “Mork” character first appeared.
“Bjork and Bindi” is clearly a play on words that leverages this.

Totally normal, just out of curiosity what was the song?
I had a guy whose name I did know help me out in a bad situation about 30 years ago. But about six months later, I moved across the country and never saw him again. I just recalled him to mind a few weeks ago and… I can’t remember his name.
It felt kind of like a betrayal, I should have remembered, he was a huge help to me when a lot of people hung me out to dry. But such is the imperfection of meat memory. :(

I have a copy of the first edition of “The Internet for Dummies.” It’s worthless, just like the Internet.
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 2 months ago:
Pretty sure Lemmy got on the influence bot radar some few months ago. Comments are now deeply negative and constantly drumming the 2FA and guillotine remedies to every complaint. Interactions outside of this kind of content I still find Lemmy users to be magnitudes higher quality than Reddit.

- Comment on Lauren Southern accuses Tommy Robinson of lying to protect alleged 'rapist' Andrew Tate 3 months ago:
Lauren Southern was touring English-speaking nations in 2018 and working with local far right figures. In this early part of her career, Southern was linked to the ‘alt right’ and accused of ‘tiptoeing at the precipice of outright white nationalism’. A year earlier in 2017, she released a video promoting the ‘great replacement theory‘, which is a white nationalist conspiracy theory.
Am I supposed to feel sorry for this person? I’m asking a serious question: am I being asked to spend empathy on this person who clearly spends none of her own empathy on anyone else?

Don’t forget the sheer, mind-destroying size of the universe, and its age.
I mean, if it’s really a simulation, all of that would be… simulated.

Another special gifts religious idiot. Sky daddy’s angel babies talk to me on the regular and we’re being poisoned from the sky by dark forces, but it’s everybody else’s brains that have been swept away.
Every day I get up and browse the news and I essentially get called a retard by people like this dipshit. It’s demoralizing, ngl.

First I’d heard of Light No Fire, wow yeah, that looks great. Honestly, I think their style lends itself more to fantasy than SciFi, this could be great.

- Comment on makes more sense than this shit 4 months ago:
Yeah but in 2000, I still felt like shit roughly made sense. We entered clown world long about the time the LHC fired its first high energy collisions.
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was first “fired high energy” when it achieved its first high-energy particle collisions on March 30, 2010. On that date, proton beams collided at a combined energy of 7 TeV, setting a new world record and officially beginning the LHC’s research program.
I remember hearing that that was going to happen and, you know, being mildly concerned. Then it came and went and I forgot about it. But I distinctly remember 2012. A series of truly bizarre things happened in my personal life. I sold a condo I owned at the time and moved away to try and put some distance between myself and what was happening. It was pants-on-head stupid, like I just couldn’t believe what was going on, but it was personal, not earth-shattering, just truly, deeply bizarre.
Shortly thereafter, Trump happened, then covid - and the whole world began being truly, deeply bizarre. Now things have progressed so far that where I used to think I knew a bit about how the world works and where it’s going, I am now utterly adrift. I don’t even try to make sense of it anymore, just to accept it and roll as best I can.
I’m not saying correlation is causation but when I first heard the LHC theory it made me stop and think.

These days? Shit, you can’t swing a dead cat without hitting a new Star Trek property. I thought he had a chance tbh.
- Comment on This blatantly deceptive ad for Threads 5 months ago:
Everybody who refuses to use Facebook has to make the same sacrifices that people who do not refuse to use it do not make. No amount of exposition will make us feel better about the fact Facebook continues to exist and contribute to the ruin of society in part because you are not willing to inconvenience yourselves like we already have.
- Comment on This blatantly deceptive ad for Threads 5 months ago:
My entire family lives thousands of miles away and Facebook is all I have to feel connected with them.
Why feel compelled to defend yourself? Use it and accept that you support it - or don’t. No need to apologize to us, you’re not going to convince us that your use case is special or that phone calls and texting don’t exist.
I have never (and will never) use Threads. … Deceptive, garbage marketing practices from a deceptive garbage tech company.
Unfortunately, you use Facebook, which means you do support these practices. How much or how little you use Facebook doesn’t factor into it. Tangentially, it also means you use Threads, because using Facebook means you use anything Zuck wants you use. That’s literally how it works.
