A lot of daedric princes quests are much more interesting than in Skyrim imo

Yeah imo the gates were kind of a chore, seconding the shivering isles

Yeah I wanted to use my new pcie 5.0 nvme for both Linux and windows but it’s not even being recognized as nvme in windows apparently, so I think I’m gonna reset all this shit and put windows on my old nvme and Linux on the new one but it’s a hassle.

I have one, it still isn’t great. Windows update routinely fucks with it. Currently using windows as my daily driver because I can’t be arsed to fix my Linux partition again

Afaik french haute couture shit (like Vuitton) really don’t. They’d rather play with all the grey areas of the law of various European countries to buy their leather from some factories in Italy where work safety standards are seen as more of guidelines than rules and they illegally employ immigrants to pay them the shittiest salary possible. Then get that shit to France and pay someone a pittance to make the bag even though it’s very tedious and precise work, so you can say it was made in France with European leather.

I’m sure we will

It becomes effectively, from an emotional standpoint, like their child.

It’s the same with code. It involves more basic logic than art but it’s still creative work imo. Hell, there’s even artistic forms of coding.

Care might not have been the right word. I care about my code too, but we know our work belongs to the company so we don’t get too attached. The thing that hurts the most with these layoffs is stopping working with the people (or entire teams) you had a good work relationship with, and, of course, suddenly being out of work.

I can tell you that no professional (non indie) gamedev cares about that. We know damn well we have no rights over the stuff we make for our overlords.

Some archetypes of boobs armor can work e.g the half naked barbarian, which is fairly gender neutral too thanks to Conan and shit, but sometimes it’s ridiculous.

I play men characters a lot of the time because the boobs armor trend annoys me. I always try to make them look very distinct from me irl though. I really like this new trend of making all armors gender neutral (e.g BG3 and especially MH wilds, since the series had a long standing tradition of making some of the female armors really… Let’s say “not realistically functional as an armor”. In the new one they still have these versions but you are free to choose any of the 2 looks regardless of your character’s gender).

I do recall some people being upset that they basically “yassified” Geralt from the witcher 2 and onwards. According to the books he’s supposed to look “weird” or something like that. Like, not repulsive but definitely not sexy, with slightly “unnatural” proportions and beast-like traits, etc. Which I think they nailed in the first game, through the low definition textures and models probably help a lot with the uncanniness.

I find that people crying about non-white male and/or non-bimbo female MCs are outrage tourists pushing their stupid gamergate agenda 99% of the time. At this point I don’t know why we are even acknowledging them anymore.

The Outer Wilds was a first game from an indie studio. On this basis alone it was practically guaranteed to not get the success it deserved. And it does deserve a ton of it.

Conversely, call of duty is literally one of the most notorious franchises in the entire industry, and pretty much sells on its name alone.

If the game is good, doesnt need an active playerbase to survive (ie isn’t entirely based on multiplayer), and the company is already reputable, it has no reasons to not sell decently in the long run. Also if an (already established) company’s future is jeopardized by a single game not doing well, I’m sorry but it’s not well managed. Ask me how I know.

if you thinking that a game even releasing in the same month as GTA6 won’t have a permanent impact on that games sales, you’re smoking the reefer.

Maybe they should stop trying to peddle bland-ass live service games that live and die by their players numbers then. A good solo game might take a hit to its initial sales but should recover in the long run.

It’s incredibly hard to properly assess your PC’s capabilities just from some hardware specs. You need an actual benchmark for that, which takes time and usually slows the machine to a crawl

Honestly, not a bad feature for once. I have seen people build (or get others to build for them) the weirdest fucking systems.

Fair

As a non native English speaker, the pronunciation is hell. I love me some Scottish/English accents but they are so different to the American accents, which are also very diverse (not to mention the small differences in vocabulary and spelling). Since I consume all sorts of different English contents, with my french accent on top, my pronunciation is all over the place.

She is absolutely great, but she doesn’t talk about Linux, does she ?
