You don’t really find those so much as make them.
- Comment on How Will We Know If The Trump Tariffs Were A Good Idea? 1 week ago:
There isn’t even a federal sales tax to replace, just state sales taxes.
- Comment on [Digital Foundry] Oblivion Remastered PC: Impressive Remastering, Dire Performance Problems 1 week ago:
Doesn’t work in the remaster; they changed so that all skills contribute to level up progress.
- Comment on Well played, Todd: You can see Skyrim, or at least its tallest mountain, from the edge of Oblivion Remastered 1 week ago:
Oblivion and Skyrim are 200 years apart, but geographically border each other. Classic Oblivion didn’t render Skyrim, but that was more for technical reasons than anything else. If you get high enough up in Skyrim on a clear day you can see the entire continent.
- Comment on Oblivion Remaster Rockets Past 100K Players on Steam Hours After Launch - Insider Gaming 2 weeks ago:
I like to describe classic Oblivion characters as looking like they were all carved from the same potato.
- Comment on Chocobo 2 weeks ago:
I just need to know which one would be best with stuffing and gravy for Thanksgiving.
- Comment on Skyblivion fan project lead reacts to Oblivion remake news with "all love and no hate" 2 weeks ago:
It’s also from the era when people were expected to read the manual while the game installed, so the game never has tutorials for certain things, most prominent being fatigue. New players tend to run everywhere, drain their fatigue meter, and struggle to hit anything or cast a spell. Just reading the manual, as the devs originally expected, solves a lot.
- Comment on Skyblivion fan project lead reacts to Oblivion remake news with "all love and no hate" 3 weeks ago:
I’m fine with almost any changes to the combat. Oblivion’s combat felt worse than both Morrowind’s and Skyrim’s to me.
- Comment on Skyblivion fan project lead reacts to Oblivion remake news with "all love and no hate" 3 weeks ago:
Also, Skyblivion will, at worst, only cut into their PC sales. The official remake will be the only option available on consoles due to the nature of the mod.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 - The Final Patch: New Subclasses, Photo Mode, and Cross-Play 3 weeks ago:
Kingmaker also has the problem of every encounter being designed for a full party but not actually having access to a full party until late in Act 1, after many mandatory combat encounters. The RNG also seems to hate me.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 - The Final Patch: New Subclasses, Photo Mode, and Cross-Play 3 weeks ago:
Also note that Owlcat’s other Pathfinder game, Kingmaker, is absurdly punishing. Start with Wrath.
- Comment on Metro 2033 Redux is free to claim on GOG for the next two days 3 weeks ago:
Uh, enemies are actually less bullet spongey on high difficulties, just like the player. Some humans have armor that you have to either spend bullets shooting off or shoot around by aiming at unarmored portions, but enemies typically go down really quick.
- Comment on Do you use your blinker in a car? 3 weeks ago:
I thought they made that a subscription now.
- Comment on logs are for quitters 4 weeks ago:
I think that’s technically true regardless.
- Comment on When did movie credits move from the beginning to the end? 4 weeks ago:
Credits followed by the opening crawl also would have been tedious.
- Comment on When did movie credits move from the beginning to the end? 4 weeks ago:
Rules were changed. Lucas actually left the directors guild to have closing credits instead of opening credits. Not sure if he ever rejoined.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed 4 weeks ago:
Judging by the bit of Prime 4 they showed, I think their first party titles will just skip ray tracing and use relatively low-poly models.
- Comment on Important information about compatibility of Nintendo Switch games with Nintendo Switch 2 5 weeks ago:
Even then, it’s not a full stop on incompatibility, it just means that you need to own Switch 1 joycons to pair to the system instead of using the new ones. So you can play Ringfit on Switch 2, if you have the old joycons and a way to charge them.
- Comment on What are some lesser-known obscure TV series that went under the radar, that you would recommend? 5 weeks ago:
My grandma got that for me on DVD ages ago. The first few episodes are rough, but it’s really gripping by the end.
- Comment on Anon watches It 5 weeks ago:
Do they even still mount guns on fighter jets or do they just use missiles?
- Comment on Civilization 7 Outlines Crucial 1.1.1 Update as It Struggles to Compete on Steam Against Civ 6 and Even the 15-Year-Old Civ 5 1 month ago:
Same with Paradox games. 4X in general is just really hard to get right on release because of how many interlinking systems there are, so waiting for balance updates at a minimum is never a bad idea.
- Comment on "Americans can't coo-" 1 month ago:
It was on an episode of Home Improvement. Not sure if the show started it or if it was just referencing the existing fad.
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remake Will Reportedly Be Revealed Soon, and Released Not Long After That 1 month ago:
Bethesda has actually been consistently supportive of Skyblivion, Morroblivion, and Skywind.
- Comment on WoW guild uses exploits to get world 'first' on new raid, gets banned, puts its name backwards and does it again 1 month ago:
I genuinely didn’t know it was still big. Everyone I know who played it quit ten years ago and expansion launches no longer hit my feeds.
- Comment on How can a military buy fighter jets that the seller has kill switches for? 1 month ago:
The kill switches are fine so long as the seller remains stable and predictable.
- Comment on Anon is smarter than a genius 1 month ago:
Wifi might become obsolete some time in the future, but apple pie is eternal.
- Comment on Just watched the movie Hacksaw Ridge. Got me thinking can people in the military turn down an order because they disagree with it on sensible grounds? Like Trump ordering them to invade CN? 1 month ago:
Your job in the military is to risk your life to save the lives of others. Refusing to follow illegal orders is part of that. If you think your superior will kill you and then commit war crimes literally over your dead body, arrest them so they can be tried in military court or die trying. I know, we’re human and this is easier said than done, but it is what should be done.
- Comment on EA has open sourced Command & Conquer: Red Alert under GPLv3 2 months ago:
No. The repo has Tiberian Dawn, Red Alert 1, Generals with Zero Hour, Renegade, and components for the HD ports of TD and RA1 they put out a few years ago.

*steel
That’s Bon Jovi, not Kid Rock.
- Comment on EA has open sourced Command & Conquer: Red Alert under GPLv3 2 months ago:
I think the old Westwood dev they put in charge of the franchise just doesn’t have any oversight.
