Their argument (from my recollection) mostly revolved around their lack of control, they were upset that they could no longer delete all their content off nexusmods.
The sad reality is the reason it was brought forward was due to how frequently mod authors would throw hissy fits and delete their mods.
Wabbajack (precursor to collections and I’d wager still superior for Beth games) mod lists frequently ran into this issue. In many cases it equated to many many hours of work to fix, assuming it wasn’t an essential mod.
Thunderstore is actually excellent for its ease of use, making a mod list to share with a friend is as easy as export profile code.
Where it absolutely fails is any kind of conflict resolution, vortex has it but mod organizer imo is way easier to use (and consistently works) in that regard.
Not to argue on the drama, it was stupid and I fully side with nexus on their reasoning.
Yeah, I mean that’s just how it goes with Windows/Mac(Ubuntu seems to be trying lol), they want you integrated into all their services.
For my part, I used aerotweaker on my win 11 machine to disable most of that junk.
I can absolutely see how that is annoying, but it’s not impossible to disable with a little tweaking.
Idk, I’ve had the fold 4 for since launch, took the internal protector off as soon as it started peeling in the center and it’s been absolutely fine. I use my stylus rarely unfortunately but it hasn’t obviously scratched the screen at all (I am a bit ocd about those things and would have likely noticed)
I had the fold 2 before that and similarly took the screen protector off within a few months and didn’t run into what you’re describing either. I DID have the hinge break where it wouldn’t open flat anymore but that was absolutely from my dropping it onto cement lol. When I swapped it for the 4 they still gave me the good condition value.
I’d imagine so, it’s an d game, not sure how much they’re still making in it (not much I’d guess given the rampant hacking concerns and protests I’ve seen online)
So… Why not do the cool thing and open source it for the community to maybe build something cool in it (hell I’m SURE someone will make some neat stuff)
I’m glad some people understand beyond the headlines, I think NFTs could be really neat as a way to have some sort of in-game item or w/e, fully transferable and all that 🤷♂️
Especially since most nfts I’m aware of are on the ethererum blockchain, which now uses orders of magnitude less electricity from the switch off of PoW
Starfield wasn’t terrible, but it also wasn’t great, very mediocre. I bought the limited edition like a fool because I saw the gameplay trailers and thought it looked awesome. I should have expected there would be very little depth to any of the systems.
Fallout 4 and Skyrim are my top played games on Steam by a mile, but I always play heavily modded.
Here’s the thing, I hate the debt obsession in the US, however it’s also really not that difficult to not get into way more debt then you can manage (barring medical expenses) and having a high credit score (even though it is stupid) absolutely does help in a ton of ways here.
I would encourage Americans to play the game smart, use credit as if it were debit, do not intentionally go into debt unless absolutely necessary, and if you’re in that position you should start seeking help, because getting crushed in debt is fucking awful.
I learned a lot of what NOT to do from my parents and paying attention during the 2008 crisis.
I love Elden Ring and From Soft games in general, but the way they work is completely different.
There are no dialog trees in Elden Ring, no skills outside of combat, rudimentary crafting mechanics, rudimentary “enchanting” through things like affinity or ashes of war in ER.
Blatantly put, the focus is on completely different mechanics/systems that are much more simple, meaning much easier to not run into lots of bugs.
It’s just not really a good comparison.
