This was a great post even if I don't 100% agree with it. I mean come on, Tony Hawk? Grand Theft Auto? Pssh. But still, you're right how a lot of PS2 games look like weird rear end unless run on a lovely old TV so you can't quite see how bad it is, or an emulator with AA turned the gently caress up.

Hollow Knight is not the worst game in its genre but its absolutely a game I cant bring myself to like and quit somewhere around getting the very, very boring dash power up

So is the switch considered another wii u at this point? Last time I paid attention it seemed like they had rebounded.

That's weird, did you ever just go out and explore? I've gotten a bounty for standing near a robbed stagecoach with dead bodies that I failed to save in time, accidentally running into someone and them starting a fight with me, accidentally pulling out my gun because of the bad button mapping, shooting my gun at a tree in the middle of nowhere, etc.

Why would you do that when there are games that don't require a sacrifice of boredom before being good?

Those shrines in Breath of the Wild where you have to guide a ball through a maze with motion controls are the most egregiously stupid things ever. People never seem to mention them and they are absolutely the dumbest thing to put in a Zelda game.

if you ever contribute to a video game kickstarter, you might be a little silly but thats okay

if you ever contribute more than the retail price of a video game, you are absolutely totally insane. Seeing $1000 dollar backer tiers actually being fulfilled is seriously cray poo poo. Imagine paying $1000 dollars for Yooka Laylee because like, you enjoyed Banjo Kazooie as a kid.

id install a detailed horse vagina mod, but only in skyrim and only together with a bunch of other mods

honestly i dont know why you wouldnt mod games. you already play games, so youre already a nerd. it's easy and makes the game more fun, just try it out

You know people say this all time but I don't know what they mean. I suspect it's just a meme people parrot without ever seeing it themselves. I've never had a problem using Nexus. I couldn't tell you what the people are like because you really have no reason to interact with them unless you are a modder yourself or doing some really deep poo poo.

I'm sure you could pull out some screenshots of some weird/bad poo poo some people said there. But honestly that applies to basically every online community everywhere, who gives a poo poo. The site works fine for basically everyone who just wants to browse and download mods, what else does it need to do?

Chomp8645 posted:

Oh, ok. It's that.

Listen, that means [b[you're the horny one[/b]. I think a lot of people don't know this, but Nexus really does not shove the horny mods front and center. Every mod on the site is categorized either "non-adult" or "adult". There is total segregation on this topic. It is the simplest thing to never show an adult mod there. I want to say that's the default, and that you must actively say "yes, show me adult mods" to see them, but I'm not totally certain on that. They also will not show them at all to someone without an account.

The reputation Nexus has for horniness versus the reality is so mismatched that that's what I mean when I say I think people are just repeating memes without seeing anything themselves. It really is not that way at all unless you go looking for it yourself. Yes, they have it there, it's completely allowed. You can find plenty of horny mods and plenty of discussion about them, but only if you want to. It's walled off to those who don't opt-in, so it leaves the impression that all the people harping about "the titty mods!" are in fact people who deliberately looked up titty mods. Because they wouldn't be seeing them otherwise.

Breath of the Wild fucks me up because I'm used to Zelda games just saying "No, you can't go here yet. Why are you even trying, you idiot?" Then in BotW I can go almost anywhere unimpeded, which means I'm constantly second-guessing if I'm doing the right thing.

Wasteland 3 isn't very good. It's still very much wasteland 2 with a new coat of paint. I'm near the end i think and it's a struggle to keep going because every pull feels like the last 200 pulls and there are lots of ui/ux bugs and performance issues where there absolutely should not be performance issues. And loads are really, really slow.

That's because Rockstar is a company that completely bought into its own hype around 2005 and forgot what it's like to have fun in a game. All they do is make cargo cult masculinity simulators for adolescents and manchildren who think that drinking a beer at the barber but being unafraid to change a diaper is the "new badass."

Very impressive tech and environmental work, terrible pieces of narrative fiction or particularly entertaining/enduring games.

Mods are the most pointless thing to me, a friend of mine got really into Skyrim and crammed it with mods, realistic weather, high quality textures, things to improve inventory management and at the end of the day he still had to play Skyrim, he put like 200 hours into it though so he obviously had his fun.

I think the only mod I've used on a game in the past 20 years has been to show you what the items do in Binding of Isaac before you pick them up. It was neat but it should have been in the game in the first place.

lol, my 65" TV was a Costco special and my computer is a decade old i7-2600k. I just keep slapping new video cards into it and it works with literally every PC game ever made. 200 frames per second in Doom 2016 with a 1070 GTX Ti in my ancient system is absolutely astonishing.

I guess THATS the real appeal of PC gaming; just keep throwing a new video card into an old computer and you are good to go.

In November 2017, Saudi Arabia again expressed interest in the F-35, following a similar expression from the United Arab Emirates a few days prior.[362][363]

The potential sale of F-35 aircraft drew criticism with regards to maintaining Israel's qualitative military edge, a policy enshrined in U.S. law, as well as concerns regarding Human rights violations during the Yemeni Civil War and Saudi Arabia's role therein. Additionally, concerns have been raised that procurement of the F-35 could spark a regional arms race.[364][365]

They weren’t so much correct in their actions as much as they were correct about the world of the Far Cry series being so hosed that nuclear annihilation was inevitable, which honestly makes a lot of sense given how FC3 and FC4 ended up going. I haven’t played New Dawn so maybe they went harder in the “Joseph Seed did nothing wrong” direction, but that was what I got out of it.
