Why spent huge amounts of time and money with a physical presentation in a far away land at GamesCom when a online show (and maybe some demos) works fine too?


The new LEGO game and the Palworld update. The rest was, for me and in my eyes, ugly, boring, the wrong genre or all together.


Sounds like something politicians would say: “Long term? That is for after the next election”


That is true, but it is also true that the script extender (and that is all that broke) is literally hacking and forcing it’s code into the game. And modern code and compiler is built to resist such attacks, if only by randomizing the needed jump addresses with every compilation.

All changes to the exe will break script extender, there is nothing that can change that. Well nothing but, maybe, a official deep plugin API for the exe and it is very unlikely that Bethesda will provide something like that.


So you say that you want the gog.com version of the game then?


Yeah, Minecraft updates break mods all the time but there it is just something the community accepts as normal and lives with. The huge update rage is something I only see with Bethesda game modding.


The next gen update used a completely different compiler, and that created a highly different executable, that’s why the update for script extender took so long and that’s why the script extender for next gen edition is unable to load “old” script extender mods.

It is the same that happened with Skyrim Anniversary Edition.


“The term boomer shooter has a rather nebulous origin, and it likely started as a joke. Online pedants often point out that the original first-person shooters were developed by Gen-Xers like John Carmack (born 1970) and John Romero (born 1967), not Baby Boomers. However, “boomer shooter” uses the slang version of the term boomer, as a stand-in for any older person who is closed-minded and out of touch—so please, direct those complaints elsewhere.”

I have not seen the video but I think the correct modern answer nowadays is: “boomer shooter”


Even if space is US of A, then the Mothership Zeta is a extraterritorial location like an embassy. Commie always win 😄


There is a DLC where you go up into space, due to this Fallout already had left the United States once.


This gets done with FPGA systems like the MiSTer and there are N64 and PSX Cores for the MiSTer, a Saturn Core is in development.


To be honest, I think the changed clothes and less splatter looks even better but maybe that because I really like lace lingerie and adding it to the outfit is therefore a huge plus in my eyes.



That is great to known, I never had a Wii Mini and lot of the information on the web regarding this seem to be outdated or wrong. Last information I had was that backwards compatibility is completely missing with the mini. Thank you for clarification ☺️

Yes and no. The latest released Wii (the Wii mini) lost GameCube compatibility due to hardware changes.


Well, and the Gameboy is not the ancestor to the SNES so backwards compatibility is out of the window completely. Yes, I know that the Super Gameboy is only a unfitting contender, that’s why I said “kind of” in my post.


And the GameCube compatibility of the Wii was just original GameCube hardware inside of the Wii doing all the work. Same with PS2 hardware inside the PS3.

Having dedicated hardware inside for compatibility is not uncommon


It “kind of” was with the Super Gameboy allowing for Gameboy games to run on the SNES. Buy yeah, more like a sideways compatibility


I really like Fallout 3 but the ton of invisible walls and the shitty metro tunnels turn it into a game I often hate to play.



It is not the same engine but a ever evolved one. Saying that it is the same engine would be like saying that UE5 is the same engine as UE1


Comparing modern game with games from the olden days is a little bit like comparing a savery steam pump with a modern internal combustion engine. Sure the general principles are identical but the complexity of the system is a manifold of the other.

I really love retro games, i have very fond memories of the C64 and SNES, but i am not a fan of the glorification of those games. Only a small part of the old games are still fun today and lots of them have bugs. Secret of Mana on the SNES for example has a fun bug where leveling all weapons and spells to max can create a overflow error in the final fight of the game, which removes the mana hero completely from the game, rendering the last fight impossible because only the mana hero can damage the mana dragon significantly.


It is not only Onlyfans whole deal, but that is how all celebrity worship works.


Xenoblade Chronicles X

I own it on the WiiU and yes I can use an emulator but a proper port which better integrates the content from the second screen into a one screen interface would be great.


Yeah it is, like most stuff with the brain, a spectrum from low to high Aphantasia.

I can’t visualize anything in my mind, I can describe what I know or what I make up but that’s it a list of information or details, when it comes to world building highly imaginative details and information, but I have no clue how it really looks like. That’s why I love AI art generators, I can input all my imaginary details into the prompt and it then emulates my missing inner eye. Something I never could on my own, how should I draw something when I have only words to describe it? For me AI Art tools are a godsend, a pacemaker for my inner eye so to speak.


Having Aphantasia doesn’t mean that a person has no imagination, he just has no inner eye, no way to see the imagination in his mind.

I know that because I have lots of imagination but have Aphantasia. World building for roleplay and stories is where I am really good, as long as I don’t have to do anything with a visual component like drawing


The one thing that connects all those points and examples is that Nintendo has not sued anyone, non of that was ever taken to a court. Because in a lot of this cases the chance to loose was substantial bigger then zero and a ruling against them would have had major implications.

So yes, they bully, they use the tools like DMCA (and EUCD in Europe) claims and takedowns, and stern letters from their lawyers but only when the chance for winning is really high they will go to a court to sue. Why go to a court when you know that the person on the other side will cave in, not because you are right but because the costs for them to get right would be way to high.

The chance for loosing in this case is really high and the last Nintendo/Pokémon Company wants is a judge to rule that the designs are not that distinctive or “original works” at all.


To be honest the guns come relatively late in the tech tree of the game, bows and crossbows are used most of the time.


Lots of Palworld, it really is fun to grind XP, complete Towers and Dungeons or to create your perfect forced labor camps for your mindbroken pals.


I don’t really like Geralt as a character, because most of the time he is a huge pile of 💩, a grim dark anti hero. I liked to play Witcher 1 because of his lost memories he was a much nicer and reasonable character, unlike his self in Witcher 3 which I only played for maybe six hours and put then away.

I have seen 2 episodes of the series, no interest in seeing more.


You are free to see it that way and I accept that, but I am also free to have a different opinion on that matter.


I don’t fear sexual content, on the contrary, but often it is added in a very bad and inopportune manner. There is a time for sex and that is not in the middle of a bloody battlefield or in a cave while outside a mob prepares to kill the witch inside.


Well, that is then only another addition to my list of reasons not to read those books.


I have no issues with the sex cards as such, but in the game the sex scene are often at the stranges and dumbest times. It breaks the tone and pacing of the story all the time, if they cut those it will make the game a lot better, in my opinion.


It looks great but unfortunately it is free to play. Micro transactions will ruin this game


Well, Minecraft marketplace for example shows that paid mods can work and be accepted by customers.

I am not a fan of paid mods but there are examples for it working.


For me it reads as typical boilerplate text, that can be seen in responses from so many companies.

Not really better then ChatGPT but at least there are humans involved in that mindless task.


Some people worship the turd products released by Apple, some the perfect games from Bethesda 😉
