Stop! You violated the law!
I was so happy to see the leaks were true. I’ve been dying for an elder scrolls game with modern graphics and whatnot.

Seriously lol monster hunter wilds was pretty frustrating with that shit… Like ok Olivia isn’t traditionally “hot” but wtf not every character in a game needs to be a supermodel for you to jerk to. I kinda like the strong woman theme anyway, she’s attractive in a different way.

Steve fucking Bannon wanted exactly these kinds of men. He helped push the gamergate thing and wanted to cultivate a group that he called “rootless white men.” He utilized anger within the gaming community and focused it on right wing talking points, now that shit has spread like wildfire. Check any steam discussions forum for any reasonably popular game and you’re guaranteed to find a “is this game woke?” Thread or “stop with the fucking pronouns!”

- Comment on Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion's level scaling was a "mistake", says designer, so why is it in the remaster? 5 days ago:
There’s a mod that addresses this! I would go for the “lite” version if you just want the armor and level scaling tweaks. That mod as a whole changes a bunch of other stuff I didn’t care to change, but the lite version is nice.

- Comment on Oblivion Remastered Impressions (and Discussion Thread) 1 week ago:
One is specifically tied to the other. These people are being manipulated into being right wing pro-authoritarian voters because of “woke” blah blah blah. It’s always their boogie man because it has been made part of their identity, it’s part of the victim complex they have and they feel like “free speech warriors” when they fight against it… It’s fucking disgusting.

Difficulty settings are wack. Normal is too easy and hard is way too hard. The slider literally goes from 1x/1x damage taken/damage dealt to 3x/0.6!
This was my only real complaint, other than them taking the noise cue away from lockpicking! I’ve really been itching for an elderscolls game with modern graphics and QOL so I’m super happy.
As for the lockpicking I learned something recently from a video and now I never break a pick. I can’t believe I never knew this:
Basically when you hit one tumbler there are the 3 drop speeds right? You push it up and it falls either slow, med, or quick. They “switch” between those three speeds when the tumbler falls back to the starting position.
If you hit a tumbler up and HOLD up (I’m on controller), or whatever key is up, then the tumbler will bounce slightly in the fully raised position. When it’s like this it will be remaining in the “fall speed” from when you first triggered it. We want it to be the slow fall speed so basically while it’s bouncing if you see any spring between “bounces” it’s too fast, let it fall to the starting position and try again.
If it’s bouncing and you can barely see any movement at all let alone any spring then it’s in the slow position, that’s what we want. When it’s like that watch the lockpick and when the lockpick is moving upwards trigger the lock with whatever the confim button is for you. It should always work!

- Comment on 34% of the US population doesn't vote. Why do polticalitcians cling to the idea that these voters can't be reached? 1 week ago:
There is actually some evidence that musk was unfortunately successful at reaching some of these people. There was a lot of talk about “strange” ballots that only voted for Trump and nothing else, usually called “bullet ballots.” Well apparently part of musks outreach plan was getting to low propensity voters and telling them “don’t worry if it’s confusing, don’t worry about knowing the candidates, the only thing we need is a vote for Trump and he’ll fix everything.”
It seems like it worked out for them… :(
- Comment on I'm bored and desperately search for a proper game 1 week ago:
As far as management goes x4 foundations is an awesome space game! I have hundreds of hours in that game spent just messing around with an industrial empire, buying mining ships, setting trade routes, all that fun stuff. You don’t even have to fight anything if you don’t want to.
- Comment on Oblivion Remaster Rockets Past 100K Players on Steam Hours After Launch - Insider Gaming 1 week ago:
I’m enjoying it quite a bit!
… except for the fucking lockpicking…
Whyyy did you have to make it so much harder?! It’s so unforgiving now and they took away the noise cue! I used to be able to do it without even looking at the screen because you could hear a distinct sound when it clicked into place. Now there are 3 different drop speeds and the sounds are so minimal…

- Comment on is this something only introverts struggle with? 1 week ago:
I have a coworker that does this and he’s the type that not talking is literally impossible for him…
If he even walks anywhere near a conversation he has to insert himself into it and talk. He hangs out near another coworker usually and when that guy gets asked a question the annoying one will always start talking over the guy who was asked… He’s not even in the same role.
He’s otherwise a nice guy and all, but holy shit is he one of the most annoying people I’ve ever met…

- Comment on El Salvador Blocks Sen. Van Hollen’s Visit with Deported Illegal Alien 2 weeks ago:
Not biased bullshit at all right? Completely lying about his legal stats to keep the chuds cheering it on. Typical.
lawfaremedia.org/…/abrego-garcia-and-ms-13--what-…
“Abrego Garcia had applied for asylum and similar forms of relief in an attempt to prevent his return to El Salvador, where he feared persecution by Barrio 18. (The attorney who filed that application, Lucia Curiel, did not return calls.) Although the asylum claim proved to be time-barred—aliens are required to bring such claims within a year of entering the country—in October 2019 Judge Jones did grant his request for “withholding of removal” based on his “well-founded” fear of persecution by Barrio 18. The government did not appeal, so Jones’s ruling is now final.”
He was here legally covered under a protected status, as the article explains, for fear of retaliation from a gang in El Salvador that was extorting his family, which is why he came here in the first place…
But it’s so much nicer to hate the brown man we don’t know. Nice to feel superior to “criminals” we know nothing about and just blindly trust what straight up lies the administration tells us. Nuance is dead.
- Comment on need advice, how to get good at monster hunter 2 weeks ago:
Lance or sword and shield might be good to stay a bit safer and learn the monsters. This game series is all about understanding what you’re fighting, they will all have a “tell” when they go to do something. Some might take one step backwards and arch in a specific way, some might make a specific noise, and they’ll always follow with a specific move. You have to understand what they’re going to do so you can figure out how much time you have to attack.
You’re going to die a bunch, but after a while you’ll come to know how the monster you’re fighting will move and it will get easier.
After all that also get to learn the skills that come with armor pieces, you want specific skills to compliment play styles. I don’t remember freedom unite specifically, but for weapons with a shield you’d want a skill called “guard” that improves how blocking works, whether it’s taking less stamina when you get hit or allowing you to block once unblockable moves.
