At this point there is nothing that they could do to make Creation Engine feel “new”. I don’t understand why they keep beating that dead horse.

A couple of months ago, I had some extra money, so I bought Starfield because I had an itch to go back into my Crimson Fleet character.

The problem was that a couple of weeks before that, I had also purchased a game that I had wanted for years, but could never justify spending the high price of new games on, Red Dead Redemption 2. In comparison, Starfield just felt so…lazy… in ways both big and small, beyond the common issues like repetitive dungeons, barren worlds, loading screens, etc…

The biggest thing I noticed immediately was the effect of bumping into people as you’re walking. If you compare a Rockstar Game (Or even an assassin’s creed game), where npcs will make a comment, will move out of the way, get upset, etc… Whereas in Bethesda can’t be bothered to do anything except slide you to the right when bumping into a character, who doesn’t react or flinch in any way.

I started noticing those little things fucking everywhere. And I have to believe that little limitations like that are because it’s running on an engine that is older than dirt.

I don’t know how he ended up with the Captain Kirk lighting setup. But I’m here for it.

It legitimately took me a second for my brain to un-break itself when I looked at the photo. First thinking…something’s not right here…and not for even a moment thinking it would be something as stupid as putting the heat-sink on the case fan… Then the realisation that yes…it really is something that stupid.

Breezy. Because AsteroidOS and Gadgetbridge.

I’m intelligent, but not nearly intelligent enough for whatever this is…

Is this just another way of talking about the Teleological framework of time (like the heptapods in Arrival)?

they release a subpar product, and then it fizzles.

I’m disappointed they’re jumping on AI bullshit. But I have to wholeheartedly disagree with you about the “sub par product”.

• My Asus desktop has been chugging along for a decade.
• My Asus Chromebook Flip has been going with no issues for at least four or five (though it’s long since been flipped to Linux)
• The Asus laptop I had before THAT is older than the desktop and quite happily living it’s retirement as a home-theatre PC connected to my television.

I have quite literally never had Asus hardware break down on me.

As a Canadian living north of the nut-hatch, I wish I had the money to excercise my dual citizenship and get out of here to Portugal, or anywhere else in the EU.

As far as I’m concerned, unionization should be government mandated for every company everywhere in every industry.

But unfortunately we live in hell.

Kaczynski’s crimes were of course indefensible. But there’s no denying that he was actually right about our relationship to technology.

If he hadn’t decided to head down the cukoo-banana path, he would have had a role to play in fighting this AI nightmare.

Why are people here saying that “Blizzards” are “Milkshakes”?!

It’s breaking my brain.

Blizzards aren’t MILKSHAKES. They’re soft-serve icecream in a cup. ICE CREAM is not the same thing as a MILKSHAKE.

You don’t drink a blizzard. You eat it with a spoon. You don’t put two straws in and share it with your sweet-heart down at the old malt-shop. It’s not a drink!

Sorry. Don’t know why this discussion about Blizzard vs Milkshake has triggered me. It’s a new discovery about my personality that I’m not proud of…

It’s mind boggling to me that in today’s world, TNG would likely never have gotten a season 2 pickup.

Book was one of the best of the Bachman books. I really enjoyed it.

I honestly don’t think the problem is that Capitalist’s don’t understand that concept; they very much do.

They also understand that the money for raising that floor would likely come from taxes on them; and so keeping the floor low means that they can keep even more profit.

It’s not a lack of understanding. It’s pure unadulterated evil.

Black cat. Orange cat won’t remember the betrayal for more than maybe five seconds.

Hey. It’s been a lonely year. Don’t shame me, bro.

Clearly hubby got caught with a side-piece in the nest when mom came home early.

That’s not a fail. That’s just french.

I get that. I just mean that I don’t spend time trying to tailor an answer to try to get the most number of upvotes. I’ll say what i want to say, and if people want to upvote me for it or downvote me for it makes no difference whatsoever.

giving a shit about “upvotes” seems like such a reddit thing to do.

I’m here for replies and conversation and yes…sometimes getting into arguments with dickheads (and…I’ll be honest…sometimes being said dickhead when I’m having a bad day)

I don’t actually care how many internet strangers are giving me made up internet points or not. It’s always just seemed to me to be vacuous and silly as something to “chase”

And rightly so!
