  Drinking, in particular, is a proven way to relieve anxiety around strangers. So, when you’re at a party with people you don’t know

  Except we’re not talking about meeting strangers, we’re talking about spending time with friends.

  And while it can be fun to drink with friends, not being able to enjoy being around them while sober points to a lot of different problems.

  Oh shit, I used to have this game in a 4-pack with Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 back when I was a teenager. Was the name Robot Arena? I don’t have the disk anymore to check

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon follows the rules⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Why do people seem unable to comprehend just enjoying being around friends?

  And no, this isn’t a dig on introverts. It’s a dig on the older generations that seem to hate their spouses and can’t be around other people while sober

  For some reason this reminds me of Pamela Anderson’s tits. I recall her having a botched breast enhancement surgery

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries dating apps⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is usually not the story we tell people when they ask how we met.

  Honestly, it’s a way better story than telling people you met on a dating app. And the ones that would be weirded out by the story are probably not people you’d want to spend a lot of time around

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries dating apps⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also all the different “X People Meet” apps, but no Linux People Meet? 😭 /s

  Context for those out of the loop, Geoff Thew runs an anime review channel on YouTube called “Mother’s Basement”.

  And in case anyone asks, right before I stopped watching him ~2 years ago he had moved out of his mother’s basement to live with his girlfriend. No idea if that’s still the case

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fallout 5 officially in pre-production, being built on Elder Scrolls VI engine⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Clearly their game engine is showing its age and needs some redesign.

  Go play Starfield. The story may be bland, but they’ve crammed tons of updated tech in it, and it lived up to the claims of being the least buggy Besthesda release ever

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fallout 5 officially in pre-production, being built on Elder Scrolls VI engine⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Really? That’s your only response? That’s pathetic

  The Obsidian Fallout game that was just announced probably isn’t going to release for at least 3 years, thb

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fallout 5 officially in pre-production, being built on Elder Scrolls VI engine⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  1. Your assumption is completely incorrect.

  it’s that it’s an iteration of an engine that is legendarily janky.

  Pick 1. Fallout 4 was stable. Starfield actually did have fairly few bugs, about on par with most AAA games on release. They’ve gotten a lot better over the years. Again, if you’d actually played any of their games since Skyrim you’d have seen that.

  the GameBryo engine (or whatever they’re calling its latest descendant) can be used to make stuff that’s decent, but the open world RPGs that Bethesda uses it for are a terrible fit for it.

  You have absolutely no fucking clue what you’re talking about. At all.

  Could my notifications on here, for once, not light up with someone picking a fucking fight with me over dumb bullshit?

  Then don’t say dumb bullshit that isn’t even consistent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bethesda roadmap: more Fallout is coming, Starfield support continues, but Elder Scrolls VI is the main priority⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, they didn’t. They have Obsidian making an additional Fallout game

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bethesda Announces New ‘Fallout’ Roadmap Following Xbox Reset⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you seriously think that Unreal Engine has gotten a complete rebuild with every version? Software gets upgraded and adapted, not thrown away. Get over it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bethesda Announces New ‘Fallout’ Roadmap Following Xbox Reset⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, if they just ported a lot of their games into newer versions of the Creation Engine like they did with Skyrim Special Edition but with higher end textures that’d be pretty sweet

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bethesda Announces New ‘Fallout’ Roadmap Following Xbox Reset⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bethesda is effectively 1 studio, and they all depend on Todd Howard to make creative decisions. A lot of their issue with output is based on how efficiently they can use Todd’s time.

  Plus, a lot of the game since Fallout 4 was spent developing Starfield

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bethesda roadmap: more Fallout is coming, Starfield support continues, but Elder Scrolls VI is the main priority⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you really think that Unreal Engine has been rebuilt from scratch for every version? Because it hasn’t, code gets upgraded and adapted all the time at every company.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bethesda roadmap: more Fallout is coming, Starfield support continues, but Elder Scrolls VI is the main priority⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Multiple studios can be licensed to work on the same franchise at the same time. This isn’t anything new

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bethesda roadmap: more Fallout is coming, Starfield support continues, but Elder Scrolls VI is the main priority⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed. I get that people want more Elder Scrolls and Fallout, but mods help with that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fallout 5 officially in pre-production, being built on Elder Scrolls VI engine⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You say that as if Unreal Engine gets a ground-up rewrite for every single version.

  Code gets upgraded and adapted over time. And the Creation Engine is no different.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fallout 5 officially in pre-production, being built on Elder Scrolls VI engine⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  First off, you clearly haven’t played a Bethesda game since Skyrim. Bethesda has actually been making a ton of improvements to the engine over the years.

  Second, rethink what you said. Do you really think every other engine isn’t continually updating the same engine over the past several decades?

  Unreal Engine 6 is about to release. Do you seriously think that Epic is completely rewriting the engine from scratch for each version?

  Do you really think that Unity is getting a ground-up rewrite every few years? Or GameMaker? Or Godot?

  No developer is going to throw away a giant body of software and start over from scratch if they can help it. It’s absolutely insane. You take what you have, and upgrade it and adapt it for what you need.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas remasters are officially in the works⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hope they don’t try and cram the games through Unreal Engine like they did with Oblivion. The Oblivion Remaster looked terrible because of it, particularly with every NPC looking like a skincrawler

  They claimed this is their stance, yet they’re calling on Valve to update their refund policy to not make it possible. That doesn’t add up.

  see me like a prick

  Ironic
