I feel it is an insult to Kinggath to say his stuff is “as good as” Bethesda itself.

His stuff is completely superior to Bethesda itself.


The new update has the villains as a late 1990s boy band. They have a song on spotify and tidal. On-Lyne, Party of your Lifetime.

And in what weve seen of the quest, at one point you fight an alternate universe Soviet tank.


You’re confusing me with someone else. Havent talked about FOMO in warframe with you.

FOMO in warframe is events like the just finished Jade Shadows, one offs like Scarlet Spear or the (very) infrequently run Plague Star.

We are in agreement about DE uses Dark Patterns, you’re just more jaded than I am. Calling it p2w though is a stretch IMO.


The whole prime access is a p2w mechanic that prior to Liches was arguably considerably more important.

Now with Lich, Sister and Railjack weapons that are all play-only access.
Galvanized and Prime mods you can’t p2w.

Nevermind the whole Steel Path and incarnon adapters, where while a small set is plat available, and the only good weapon in that set is the Angstrum, and aforementioned Galvanized mods.


Prime resurgence is a less predatory version of prime vault. It allows free players easier and more precise access to unvaulted items, including armor and accessories that were previously impossible to get as a free player.

See the price drop for Glaive Prime today. Dropped off a cliff because its unvaulted.


Its the same mechanic you describe above.

If you miss it in the free battlepass, it comes back later in a random chance per mission to get a single drop.

You’re arguing in bad faith by praising DRG for using the exact same system Warframe uses.


Also 4 digits playtime here, but that is irrelevant.

You’re not wrong, but you are confusing dark patterns with p2w. Sadly they all do dark patterns now. Even Deep Rock Galactic is loaded with them.


It arguably isn’t anymore, although it looks like it is. Yes, you can buy prime frames and weapons, but can’t buy the mods or arcanes directly from the game to outfit them. Even then, prime weapons on their own are not the best in the game by a long shot, and a prime warframe does not guarantee it being “meta”.

The weapons that are the best are locked behind story quests, and even once you unlock one of those vendors, only one of them that you can buy with platinum is any good.

They were considering adding a destiny style story skip, but when they asked for feedback it was so negative they immediately relented.


Love the guy, but he also misses over that warframe has monetizion that beats the pants off of all of the others.


TL;DR from their(newpipe’s) reddit:
Youtube did an update that added an additonal parameter to the calls, allegedly as an anti-bot tactic.

Because of how it worked, it broke all of the various frontends, but Invidious based access still worked.


They posted a release candidate that fixed the issue to Github first, then I picked it up from their site several days ago.


Obligatory Fuck EA for the bullshit they pulled.

They buried the game launch intentionally behind Battlefield 1.


(I was making a joke by describing Skyrim. The college is Winterhold.)


It would have to be more melee based, maybe in a northern area of Europe with a heavy scandanavian focus.

Maybe the radiation gave them magical abilities. Have a sorry redneck excuse for a magical college up in the north east of the map in the remnants of a ruined city.


Simple, the original team that made DA:O went off to do other things or was promoted into management where they did well, but couldn’t replicate the magic of their OG team.


Yes. Absolutely.

However, no one has taken the companies that started doing that to task, and now even companies like John Deer have been pulling that shit.

Hell, Monsanto actually took farmers to court on that principle for growing crops that had been naturally cross pollinated with “their” GMO crops using that principle.

I am not disagreeing with you. I am stating what we have allowed the rich fucks to get away with.



As far as I am aware, most of the game and sofrware companies get around it by stating you’re no longer buying a thing, but buying a non-transferrable licence to use the thing but you never actually own anything.



Hell, starcraft created the concept of a professional gamer being a thing. To say that RTS games dont have popular appeal is just outright wrong.

3D isnt a bad thing though, C&C Generals did it fantastically.


Playstation won with the PS5 because MS realized PC players have more money and went back to them.

MS left the game because they found a better game.





It already is. Check it out on Nexusmods. I did so late last week and they couldnt even fill 1 row of new mods this week. Even Morrowind still gets that done.


You play it up like some grand conspiracy.

He’s simply incompetent.


The timeline given in the show says otherwise.

He can’t fucking Jeremy Crawford (or JK Rowling if you prefer) that.


They’d meddle. Like with the tv show, where they nuked the capital of the NCR four years before new vegas. Problem is that the president of the NCR flies into New Vegas in the game from Shady Sands, so Shady Sands could not have been nuked.



Bethesda can’t do it. They don’t have the skill to make a decent story anymore.


“I’m extra sorry that our lawyer got back to me and said the previous wording we did around the ‘all future DLC inclusion’ was legally binding and we’d get the pants sued off of us unless we changed course.”


This is what Microsoft has been actively moving towards since at least the planning of windows 8.

Why bother losing money on physical consoles when you can get people to pay for xbox live on pc?


Baseline. One of the houses you can side with sells slaves and has slaves in game.


This. Look at their recent move against the Smash Bros tournament scene.

Look at their love/hate relationship with Splatoon and how their lies and abuse have killed off a once vibrant community and budding e-sport that at one point had several major tournaments.


It isn’t so much that they broke the fallout London mod as much as it is that they broke the Script Extender mod that all of the really good mods hard require.

Because that mod hooks into the executable and every time they patch the game, the executable changes, requiring a new version of that mod.


Video support could be a “killer app” on threads to embrace and extinguish the fediverse.


You can also use Mod Organizer 2. Connects to their site, but you dont have to. Virtualizes the mod folder for Creation Engine games so its much cleaner to add/remove mods and even have different install profiles


Yeah, that is absolutely something I’ve run into. To me though the matter of control of the content has to rest with the creators of said content.


Well for starters they keep making it harder to actually delete any mods you uploaded there.
