This is why the literal only thing that would work is making it legal to shoot people who are unmasked if they’re coughing (which is insane, but insane is the baseline I guess)




This is one of like 5 celebrities I would vote for if running for president.


yeah that’s the point, Bethesda generally builds an ok game and engine and puts an above average mod/design system on it. Obsidian is far better at making actual video games.


been playing Fallout:NV and its so good. They should go back to using elder scrolls as a way to show off new engines and then license them out to new companies to make games.

Skyrim should be seen as an abberation here. If the game turns out good thats just a plus


its wild they’re now essentually doing the bullshit Universal did


Nintendo files suit against a Pocketpair of deez nuts.




mammal teeth work pretty well as long you don’t eat too much sugar and acids.


My guess is that its to cover up patterns of this to protect specific rich guys from lawsuits. As a bonus it means its easier to add and subtract likes from posts without leaving clear evidence.

So Elon himself can add 10,000 likes to an antisemitic post or subtract the likes from say somebody making fun of a cybertruck.


Buying out competition and throwing out the workers confident that investors won’t back a small dog against a big one

In an investor run economy, competition means you might lose a bet. For an investor its better to reduce competition than lose bets. This is originally why anti trust legislation was created: The market needs to be forced to compete or it will amalgamate into a giant blob of noncompeting assets.

High taxes exist to reduce accumulation of assets and slow down the snowballing effect of huge investors. This is what the trump tax cuts look like.


Dude has to be a millionaire by now. Anything else he makes is just icing on the haunted chocolate cake.


I thought overwatch was based on team fortress. Why not just a new team fortress?


Microsoft looking back and forth between the “lay off bethesda button” and starfield





honestly copyright law shouldn’t apply to games that are no longer fully playable for any reason


I would actually love it if they picked up a newer fantasy universe like Mistborn


you can get most of the battery cell upgrades by opening chests from exploring (and where the chests are becomes obvious if you collected a few old maps) and following the main story. The problem is exploring the depths isn’t all that fun. I never even used duping to get battery in my original game- by the time I explored the depths fully I was maxed out.


its not insane unless you’re doing completionist stuff, you can easily cap a few sets of armor for key purposes just with chest loot and some monster mashing. I created a second game on another user account after my first game (with duped gems, etc) and its not really grindy until you try to max out like a third set of armor.




but what about the latest investment fad like AI or NFTs? Won’t they think of the poor scammers?



sequels of what?

My highest play time game is probably minecraft, and my recent go-to is slay the spire.

Sequels are seen as safer profits (there is an existing market) so they get more investment and more investment tends to make better games.

This doesn’t mean its what people want, it just means that name recognition means its cheaper to market a hit game with previous versions acting as a marketing boost. Its a feedback loop.



It does seem like we need kind of a federated network of wikis.


Microsoft now owns them lol. They lied through their teeth about selling cross platform.


They could use proprietary screws or add glue. Of course I’d just buy the EU model in that in case, but I wouldn’t put it past the mega corps to just be trashy because they can.




The idea AI will destroy or reshape the world.

I think it fits into the idea that people selling AI are pitching it as “this product is powerful either you buy now or pay for not doing so later” and they have an incentive to overstate its power.
