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"⁩ ⁨⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ 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"⁩ ⁨⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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 ⁨days⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
I thought they made that a subscription now.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨logs are for quitters⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
I think that’s technically true regardless.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When did movie credits move from the beginning to the end?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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-"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
The kill switches are fine so long as the seller remains stable and predictable.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is smarter than a genius⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bawitdaba⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
*steel

That’s Bon Jovi, not Kid Rock.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EA has open sourced Command & Conquer: Red Alert under GPLv3⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
I think the old Westwood dev they put in charge of the franchise just doesn’t have any oversight.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EA has open sourced Command & Conquer: Red Alert under GPLv3⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
At least some of the remaster source code is in the repo, too. If the TS or RA2 source code is found, people will be immediately able to do that graphics switch for them, too.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EA has open sourced Command & Conquer: Red Alert under GPLv3⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
IIRC, a few years ago EA hired some of the original devs, put them in charge of the franchise, and then went very hands-off, but with very little budget. So far they’ve done this, and a very reasonably priced 4K remaster of TD and RA1.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EA has open sourced Command & Conquer: Red Alert under GPLv3⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
That’s only the HD remaster of TD and RA1.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EA has open sourced Command & Conquer: Red Alert under GPLv3⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Though do also note that of these four, TD and RA1 were already made freeware years ago.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Emulating PS2 for my Steam Deck, would love any recommendations!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Not exactly a suggestion, but why emulate Okami instead of just running the PC version?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Skyblivion, the fan remake of Oblivion in Skyrim's engine, nears completion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
The fully lit portions of this map have been fully NPCd and quested. You might have enabled the preview landmass, which includes (or included, not sure if they still distribute it) a bunch of mostly mapped exteriors with partial interiors and typically no NPCs.
