I would be satisfied if Bethesda did stick to their “ancient ways”. Focusing more on environments and immersion rather than character-driven storytelling like any other RPG. Of course they did neither for Starfield unfortunately.

I would listen if it wasn’t on Spotify, he used to have some interesting guests in the past at least.

It’s not a prediction, {Company} will simply push whatever future that benefits {Company}.

Bethesda have made some of my favorite games, especially Elder Scrolls but this time I’m just not very interested. I read they added procedural generation which seems like the worst choice possible when the strength of their games always has been environmental storytelling (as in you explore and stumble upon things that make the world feel “lived in”).

I’ll buy the game later, might as well wait for patches, mods and such!

I thought it was 1998 but the mod came out in 1999, then Valve bought them out and released it as a standalone game in 2000.

• Counter-Strike
• SiN
• Delta Force
• Baldur’s Gate

Counter-Strike overtook the others by a mile in the 00s but in the 90s I probably enjoyed Delta Force more actually.

Wait I forget about consoles:

• GoldenEye 64, opened my eyes to FPS I guess
• Wave Racer 64, was the staple racer in our household

Humans being irrational? Well I would never…

Having a preference is not hypocritical. What the fuck are you saying LOL

I have tried it for the novelty but I see no reason to make it part of my diet. It is disgusting to me and getting used to it would take a lot of time and suffering, for what reason? I’ve been a vegetarian before, I’d rather eat peas than insects.

Horse meat is not rare here in Sweden. Nor is moose or reindeer.

I eat horse. I would not eat cat or dog because I’ve don’t see them as food but I’m still more disgusted by insect meat.

I grew up eating seafood but I still hate dealing with it if I have to remove shells and clean it. Telling people to suck it up and eat something they don’t want to eat makes no sense to me.

I actually can’t eat lobster either, the giant sea bugs creep me out. Shrimp I’ll eat but not if I have to remove the shells and such. Obviously people are different and my disgust sensitivity might be higher than normal. I grew up in a household that ate a lot of seafood so it’s not due to lack of trying.

It’s simply disgusting, it’s not political, it’s gag inducing.

The issue is that users might object to subscribing to a community on a particular instance. I guess it’s not the end of the world, you can always unsubscribe but I can imagine some people being very upset to be associated with certain politically leaning instances or worse.

uBlock Origin, it’s not even close!

I think it should be a “copy community” feature, then mods can just prevent posts in the old community and make a sticky that points to the new location.

Making users automatically subscribe to a community on a different instance (even if it’s “the same community”) is pushing it a bit in terms of moderator power. Also makes things worse in terms of exploits and others have pointed out.

It was so easy to spend time in early WoW. The community was awesome before all the sharding and LFG/LFR tooling!

In a year I had over 200 DAYS played on World of Warcraft back in 2005-2006. That’s over 13 hours a day, then I quit abruptly and later tried a couple of expansions casually.

Second is probably Counter-Strike 1.#. No idea actual playing time but would estimate around 1000 hours.

The above two I don’t regret spending my time in. Made a lot of friends and it all felt rewarding.

Then there are games like Civilization VI (~200 hours), Rimworld (~300 hours), Tropico (~200 hours) and even Path of Exile (~500 hours). These games are not really rewarding, other than little dopamine hits that gets you continuing playing forever.

Edit: Added hours!
