Five… four… three…

So they’re ripping off the game that ripped them off. The industry is in an absolute state.

Yeah, well, no fucking shit, what’d they think was the point of the campaign?

These guys…

“site” does work still, I think, just plus a lot of irrelevant drivel - standard Google fare, you see it on Youtube too.

I’d consider the most basic case to be, specifically, the “quotes for verbatim results”, which definitely do not work anymore. Neither does + for a positively (hue hue) required term, a close second.

To be fair, back in the day you could get better results by relying on Google with site:foobar and the Boolean/“power user” stuff. A lot of built-in search boxes on sites were a bit dodgy, or at least less flexible than AND/OR/NOT and other “power user tricks”.

Of course, these days those seem to be ignored wholesale and even “verbatim quotes” are an utter crapshoot, this was back when Google didn’t fucking blow.

N64 is my favorite console of all time, but yeah, the controller is truly batshit insane. I even had a game that intended you to hold the left and right… prongs instead of center right. In a shocking twist, it was… still pretty awkward.

I do like PS5 controllers - mostly play N64 games on them, never even owned a PS. Used a PS4 controller before that.

So don’t?

Dpad for games that were intended for dpad, analog if the game was intended for analog.

Analog for dpad games feels awkward in my experience, and dpad for analog games is not even an option.

What do you mean, “nowadays”? Mobile games always sucked.

Maybe they could start using an engine that is more recent than the Cretaceous.

Yes - unexpectedly, on a game that’s pretty much a decade old. Modders are not expected to maintain stuff that long, because when does that ever happen?

Then it’s just… badly executed at that.

Ha! Get rekt, Meta.

Yes… grown up…

Maybe they’ve finally fixed one of the glitches from Oblivion.

Maybe it’s a second cave/“randomly generated” dungeon.

… OK, but seriously, what the fuck is it? Marketingspeke is cool (apparently), I get it, but what does it literally do?

Cyclops are Finnish??

I’m seeing a lot of uncited claims. If these are just conjecture or opinion you could be clearer on it. If they’re not, citing sources is probably a good idea.

Bet they’ll patent it, just to make sure nobody can have nice things.

I think the idea of having instances own communities is fundamentally flawed. Discoverability is one of many ways that fucks things up.

Nobody, past, present or future, should listen to this fucking idiot.
