Also what, like, Bethesda is going to somehow make the Creation Engine not a giant pile of shit, with now 15 more years of acculumated technical debt from never doing a full ground up rebuild… ?

We’ve been saying this since Morrowind: Oblivion, Fallout 3, Skyrim, Fallout NV, Fallout 4 - Gamebryo sucks, what are they going to do to this wheezing trash heap etc etc - and every time they do the same thing: update the graphics and gameplay marginally, introduce new elements (dual wielding magic, radiant quests, settlement building, whatever) release it as the “new” version (outrageously buggy ofc) and largely let the mod community fix it. I’ll go out on a limb here and say that’s probably what FO5 and ESVI will also do, it’s the path of least resistance and nobody will be bringing out their surprised Pikachu faces.

I don’t really care all that much because I like the games, none more than FONV, so I’d be happy for Obsidian to hot rod FO4 into something equally interesting.

To be fair, the article makes it sound like Obsidian is going to be doing with Fallout 4 what they did with Fallout 3/NV - use the existing game engine to create an entirely new game - versus what Bethesda is doing, which is updating the whole system to Fallout 5, which presumably would be sharing some work with ESVI.

One of those things would actually be more difficult than the other, though I’d also suspect that Microsoft’s atitude here is driven by Bethesda’s largesse when it comes to ESVI. It’s been discussed to death but a single non-trailer on your biggest tentpole in 10 years in favor of your boss’ seriously mid space game is certainly a… decision.

He also repudiated prez in 2020 or something.

He’s not even “repudiating prez” now.

“To think that the promise and hope and joy and the anticipation of Trump 2016 could, sort of, over the course of 10 years, collapse into this ugly, warmongering, whole mentally ill heap of crazy with some of the most unstable and lunatic people, seemingly directing the president’s actions.”

Good tsar, bad boyars. This demonstrates that he still has hopes for an “in” and is still completely full of shit.

It’s only socialism if Republicans don’t like it so bank, insurance and Wall Street bailouts, the military and police are A-OK! Everything else is dangerous and will collapse into communism and dictatorship. Particularly anything that does not protect and enrich the Epstein Class.

61% of the military voted for Trump. So this is my idgaf face.

Can’t skip the update if you don’t have any Windows installations.

Eat a tablespoon of peanut butter. It works.

I didn’t like Twitter enough to join it when it didn’t cost $20.

We are well and truly in the era of post-giving-a-shit on the part of corporations because the no matter what they do - enough people will buy it anyway.

People in this city could travel four miles and save sixty cents a gallon on gas because of AI pricing, but all 16 pumps are still full at the price-gouging Circle K because it’s right next to the freeway on-ramp.

The 2600 versions? Yeah, I do.

Let’s see. The games suck, so that’s no help, they’re all uniformly terrible nobody wants to actually play them. You can readily buy actual copies of the original versions for about the same price, so they aren’t really collectible. Atari has very little cache among gamers (relative to say, Nintendo).

Who is this for again?

Boy Massie is really going scorched Earth. Has he yet apologized for his previous 16 years of being a gigantic piece of shit that actively helped cause all of this?

But being absolutely against murder doesn’t end up with other people being murdered, so it’s a terrible analogy that they are just allowed to get away with. If you stop doctors from “murdering” babies, then mothers die as a result, full stop. They don’t even argue that point, they just don’t care, so arguably, they’re no better than the murderer in their own stupid analogy.

All of this is a religious refusal to admit that biology is a nasty, difficult and ugly business and not the perfect product of their all-loving God, and it’s just plain stupid.

I hope this means that Shitter is starting to be in some trouble.

I think these guys envision remaking Earth into something like Solaria, from Asimov’s novels, a planet where something like 20,000 people live on vast estates tended to by their robotic armies. Since this means they will have to somehow conveniently get rid of 8 billion people, it’s safe to say that they have less than zero concern for whether any of their current policies have any human cost.

Their vision is really stupid because it assumes that AGI (or more appropriately, ASI) will value them as much as they value themselves and HAHAHAHAHAHA wipes tears - I have no idea what ASI would do, but it sure as fuck wouldn’t be that.

This guy irons.

I’ve been using Eden for almost a year now off and on. Performance is pretty flawless, there are some graphical glitches here and there, but nothing that outright breaks the games. Eden didn’t supply the keys, I guess that’s the difference.

I tried Ryujinx and couldn’t get it to work for shit on Mint, but on Steam Deck it actually works fantastic.

I will not give a fuck about these stories until I can reliably feel like they a) didn’t vote for this and b) wouldn’t vote for this yet again.
