Or don’t give your money to a corporation that’s going all in on AI and data centers (which will wreak havoc on our already incredibly strained ecosystem).

Not to mention that Geforce Now is a subscription like Game Pass.

Even with the world settings jacked all the way up it takes a stupid long time to mine just about anything other than stone or dirt, even with a top tier pickaxe and the requisite perks. And I will say exploration is a little iffy too, especially in the desert with all the verticality.

I broke down and started visiting a multiplayer server where it’s basically just a big store full of everything currently in the game so I could just take what I needed/wanted.

I remember when Oblivion came out and everyone found all the glitches and exploits, like the vampirism quest not finishing properly with Count Skingrad so you could just ask him to pay you over and over.

I also remember thinking it was a big deal anytime a developer sent out a patch for their game(s) around that same time. Like, damn you already made the game and now you’re doing more stuff to it?

Anyway I guess my point is people are impatient as fuck nowadays thanks to the internet.

I bought Valhalla on Uplay (or whatever it’s called now) back when it came out… And I spent 150 hours playing through it…

Tbh it was probably the most boring AC game I’ve ever played. It actually made me stop playing them at all because it just dragged on so goddamn long.

I wish it ran well on my 6-year-old PC. I want to get back into it and actually give it a real try. Also I want to play with some Star Wars mods.

Damn I had no idea it was the same company that made Hogwarts Legacy. I actually really liked that game.

It came out when I was a kid, and the humor was a big hit for me.

I actually replayed the first two games last year on PCSX2, and imo they actually hold up. Maybe some of the humor hasn’t aged particularly well, but none of it is really offensive or anything. It’s basically a village of jungle natives all acting and behaving kinda like modern white people (also voiced by white people, but eh. It was like 2002-2005).

As far as gameplay, it’s alright. I think the first is better as it has more going on for it. The sequel definitely feels cheaper by comparison. I remember playing the “third” one (*Great Juju Challenge) but that one is basically just a Mario Party knockoff.

ETA: also the show first aired actual years after the games had even released. I remember thinking it was weird that they waited so long to make it into a show, and that the games’ popularity wasn’t as strong anymore (or perhaps never was).

It is gorgeous, but imo no game comes close to the immersion you get when playing a Bethesda game.

There’s no other game in history where you can walk into some random dude’s house, steal everything that isn’t nailed down (including useless plates and silverware), and sit on any of the furniture.

I also read that. It was just a couple sentences of basically nothing.

Take every news headline with a grain of salt today, folks.

In fact Morrowind (arguably Bethesda’s best game) is still getting mods made for it over 24 years later. It’s biggest mod, Project Tamriel/Tamriel Rebuilt, is still getting made and worked on, and just had a major update last April.

It’s been happening for years, almost decades at this point. In fact, I’d be willing to say that at least 50% of most games ever made were made by someone who used to mod other games for fun.

Most recently there’s been Black Mesa, which is a fan remake of Half-Life in Half-Life 2’s Source engine.

There’s also The Forgotten City, which was actually a Skyrim mod first and was so popular the mod makers were approached by Microsoft to make their own game.

Most Source engine games are actually mods of Half-Life and Half-Life 2. Counter-Strike started as a Half-Life mod.

That hairstyle is the modern mullet. It looks so trash.

You sure it wasn’t the Kia Hamsters?

I like that Dunkey’s running joke is if it has some cave you need to squeeze into then that’s how you know it’s a AAA game

There’s a fitness guy I follow on Instagram called @trailswithzach, and he always posts trail runs where he makes ice cream in a backpack.

He puts bags of ice in a backpack, along with cream and flavors, and the motion of his running helps churn everything together so it solidifies and mixes into ice cream. It’s actually kinda cool, cause you get to exercise and then enjoy a cold treat when you’re done.

I like that sometimes taking your time is not the best strategy. Sometimes you need to be aggressive and push the attack relentlessly otherwise you’ll just get blown to pieces.

Meh.

It’s a good game, and imo still holds up decently well. This is just a cash grab.

There are now tons of different expansions for CAH, like specific topic types and whatnot like sci-fi, nature, food, medicine.

Yeah, seems about right for some of the purists out there. There’s a whole fucking subreddit dedicated to talking shit about them. It’s honestly sad.

Like it’s one thing to have a semi-parasocial relationship and call it “hanging out with your friends” but it’s another entirely to dedicate time out of your life to get upset and angry over a goddamn YouTube channel.
