  It’s not a perfect analogy, but you get my point.

  This would be like if someone sued Walmart for letting their local store go out of business.

  My suggestion would be to play the “normal” version with anticheat

  As of 2010 according to your link. And that was before it went digital/backwards compatible on Xbox One with a whole announcement.

  I know I bought it for my One as soon as I could back in 2018. And I bought it at least one other time since, when I got my PC.

  Idk, there’s the loading screen tips, one in particular says “if you’re entering a new or strange area, be sure to walk to conserve fatigue” or something along those lines.

  Maybe an NPC tells you in Seyda Neen?

  Lol that’s not the gotcha he thinks it is.

  So many, and I mean thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of players/Elder Scrolls fans would give up their left testicle just for a true Morrowind remaster. Like honestly, so many people have a love and fondness for that game, even if it wasn’t their first ES title, that I truly believe almost everyone would tell him he’s wrong.

  Morrowind Online is one I still have to try. I fucking love Tamriel Rebuilt, and I’ve only explored a small fraction of the mainland.

  I watched Charlie play through the first episode, and within the first 5 or so minutes of the game there’s full-frontal with dick and balls. He had to censor his game of course, but you know it’s there.

  I feel like Halo could be equated to like “early Federation” from Star Trek (I’m not a Trekkie, but I know some things).

  Like how humanity discovers FTL space travel and the rest of the galaxy opens up to them and we meet a technologically superior faction of advanced alien races. That’s probably where the similarities end, but it does paint a slightly hopeful light on humanity’s future, even if it is entirely fiction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 558 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know who downvoted this one lol. You can’t not like Halo, it’s just ingrained into human DNA at this point imo

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 557 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That early 2000s nostalgia hits hard

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t say they needed to be big. The Elder Scrolls games aren’t particularly huge, yet people will continue to play saves for hundreds of hours.

  And I know Outer Worlds wasn’t a massive open world, but there were different areas you could explore. Just a shame there wasn’t that much to explore in said areas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elsa sings Frozen in Klingon⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  God, nerds are so fucking weird.

  I love it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I like open world games that let you continue to explore and do things after the main story. If you enjoyed the game, you can keep going to get some more out of it. If you’re done, then you’re done and you don’t need to continue to interact with the world.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 555 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I played one online match of Halo 3 snipers the other week and it lasted all of 3-4 minutes because the other team just knew exactly where everything was. It was a little ridiculous tbh. Like I got maybe 2 kills the entire match and they just kept one- and two-shotting us the whole time. It just didn’t feel fair or fun, and this was in social mathmaking.

  Apparently there’s a demo on steam. I just looked.

  I mean the game is over a year old now. I know there’s a multiplayer mode, but I don’t think most people are getting this game for that.

  The last time I played it was like 2018-19, but even then it felt very much “mile wide, inch deep.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What challenge from a game isn't worth completing and what challenge from a game is worth completing?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I fucking hate how if certain animals come at you at a particular angle, there’s literally nothing you can do. Sure they give you the button-mash prompt, but it does literally nothing, and you still get mailed to death. Every. Single. Time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 548 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It definitely is clunky, but I feel like if you look at designs fairly closely you can see some evolutionary jumps. Maybe not with some helmets like Hazop, but you can with others like Rogue and Recon.

  Imo I kinda liked 4’s version of sprint. It was there, everyone had it, but it was limited and had a sort of cool down similar to other armor abilities. I do also like the gameplay of 5, with the other added Spartan abilities like slam and clamber; imo it made me feel like a lethal killing machine moving around the battlefield.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 548 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You kinda need to play it with bandanna to enjoy it. But even then, anytime you die after you’ve gotten some nice weapons from enemies, you have about 10 seconds to run over and pick them up before they’re gone.

  I don’t mind the loadout system for Spartan Ops, but I can see why they’d be a pain in the ass to deal with in multiplayer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 548 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I recently replayed 4. Although I kinda like the gameplay, I found the story to actually be pretty boring. I like the Didact as a concept, but he’s incredibly underused imo. The Prometheans are just incredibly annoying to fight, and Spartan Ops gets very tedious because of them.

  I like some things like the added sprint (fight me, if any game should have sprint it should be Halo, at least in campaign) but another thing is that the story feels so incredibly short. Like it ends right as it’s about to get good.

  I will say the Spartan armor and elite designs have grown on me since it first came out. It does make me want to replay Halo 5, and I am disappointed that it’s not going to be brought to PC pretty much ever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pet Peeves with Games?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, sometimes it kinda makes sense from a mechanic or gameplay perspective. I’m talking about games that require you to hold buttons to interact for everything whether it makes sense or not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pet Peeves with Games?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Any game that makes me hold a button for a simple interaction. Bonus points if it has some kind of “progress bar” to show just how much longer you need to hold that button down.

  Why did I need to hold X/whatever just to press the thing that opens the door? Why did I have to hold that button down for a grand total of 4 seconds before you actually did your little interaction animation? Why couldn’t it just be a button press?

  Part of me kinda blames Halo, as that’s the first game I can remember where it was “hold button to interact;” except in every Halo game up until 4, it was only slightly longer than a normal button press so it was still incredibly quick.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'It can be unnecessary - and even too much': Are violent video games like Grand Theft Auto 6 becoming too realistic?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So I just looked at screenshots for Carrier Command, and from the short description and pictures, it looks kinda like you take the role of a Halo battleship captain yet you can also personally pilot any of the vehicles and such?

  That sounds badass.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox 360 superfan amasses all 1,353 North American discs after two‑decade collection spree⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s been a shorthand for “achievement” for a long time. In fact, there’s an achievement in Fable 2 that’s called I Did This For A Cheevo (maybe that was the description?)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ryan Reynolds on The X-Files⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You just reminded me of the plot.

  Two girls killing other students (I believe, maybe there was an adult as well?) posing them as satanic rituals. There was a new teacher in town who everyone suspected was her because she was weird, but it wasn’t her.

  I believe she did end up being an actual Satanist/possessed by a demon or something, but she wasn’t really the cause?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ryan Reynolds on The X-Files⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember that episode, I literally did the Leo meme when I realized it was him. Wasn’t the teacher a demon or something?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Video games where you get to kill US soldiers⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Uh… I mean there’s Halo Wars, which lets you play as Covenant leaders in certain modes (in 2 there’s a DLC storyline where you play as the aliens again, but not against the humans). The UNSC is basically the US Army In Space.

  Aside from that I’m not sure. There’s probably plenty of mods for other games though. Like GMod, there are tons of NPCs and such in the steam workshop, plenty of US military characters to choose from. You can then load into a map, set up a spawner (or spawn them in yourself), and start blasting. I did actually do something like this back when the George Floyd protests were going on: I went in the game, spawned in a bunch of cop NPCs and just started blasting and mowing them down.

  It actually did feel pretty good, tbh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I only played the “first” one, but that one did feel incredibly like Halo to me. Just with the added functionality of portals.

  I mean you have an assault rifle, a battle rifle, a pistol, a DMR, and shotguns. I’m sure there are some other ones I’m not remembering.
