Agreed. They need to retire that dogshit engine and write a new one. I know that’s a huge and expensive undertaking, which is why they probably won’t. TES6 will sell like hotcakes on its name alone.

I had been looking forward to TES6 for so damn long, but at this point the most exciting thing we can look forward to is the crazy glitches that speedrunners will discover. That is, if they’re not just the same glitches we’ve alll seen time and again.

When I read your comment, I internalized “sorted” as “sordid.” I guess either one works!

I was talking to a friend the other day and trying to convey how good that fight looks. In some ways it’s kind of cliché (the narrative flips on the “lightning” switch for effect), but it’s so well-done that it doesn’t matter. If you let yourself get swept up in the story, it’s so damn tense and emotional. And the music, oh my god…

Off-topic, but I finally beat TotK the other day and the experience was utterly transcendent. I’m still blown away. They seriously made up for the deflated final fight in BotW, and then some.

I don’t think I could find it, but there’s a different, older version of this meme with the same pic. The punchline is indeed the first part of this one, but it was done in a much more subtle way and didn’t ruin the joke by spelling it out with “murder instead of suicide.”

Shame on whoever stole the joke and then not only told it badly, but ended it with necrophilia.

Completely unrelated, but your comment reminded me of this old meme that always cracked me up

What’s wrong with rougelikes in your opinion? I don’t usually seek them out, but for a good while I was super addicted to Binding of Isaac. I think the gameplay loop is pretty fun.

The rest of your comment I agree with wholeheartedly.

The only Zelda-like I can think of right now is Tunic. I haven’t finished it yet, but it’s a great game. It’s on PC and all the major consoles. I’d say it’s more like the pre-N64 Zeldas than the open-world ones. Also has an in-game manual that’s 100% inspired by the manual that came with the first Zelda on NES. Incredibly charming game.

Respect 👍 I still have all my old consoles and games from my childhood, all the way back to the NES. And I still collect classics that I didn’t grow up with. Hope you play yours on a good ol’ CRT :)

I really like DKR but I was never amazing at it. Especially the boss races. Killer soundtrack though. I listen to it more often than I play the game lol

In case you don’t know about it, there’s a cool site called Retro Achievements that has community-curated achievement sets for thousands of games (and leaderboards for specific tasks, like Mario 64’s Princess’ Secret Slide), and it integrates nicely with RetroArch and Dolphin (I haven’t looked into other emulators, but I’m sure there are other supported ones). It’s given me a great reason to play all my childhood games again, instead of playing them just to waste time.

Speaking of BK, I finished that set just last night and it was so satisfying. I’m sure you’d make short work of the DKR achievements!

If “A Major” in the title was intentional, then bravo!

Honestly I’d be exited to be able to meet the composer anyway, and maybe give him a pat on the head.

ME TOO! MY BIG BROTHER SAID IT’S CAPS UNLOCK BUT I CAN’T FIND THAT KEY ANYWHERE.

the Borderlands movie I would have loved will never exist.

For me it’s Monster Hunter. I refuse to watch the one they made a few years ago. I wonder if there’s a supercut of only scenes that feature the monsters. Or anything involving the Charge Blade.

After reading the synopsis, why tf did they have to make it an isekai?

That’s perfectly valid. With the gold thing, I was referring to the fact that people say it verbatim as I typed, (seemingly) every time. IMO it feels less genuine when someone doesn’t thank another using their own words.

By the way, your respectful disagreement is another reason why I like Lemmy. Courtesy seems to be more common over here :D

Along with everyone else’s great points, I’m so glad I don’t have to suffer through another “thanks for the gold, kind stranger!” Or yet another painful comment chain of “puns” that are more like weak rhyming/word association, often reusing the same tired phrases. That entire place is so boring and uncreative.

Long live Lemmy!

Not being able to give support to friends and family will feel really weird.

I see it as being liberated. Besides, while it’ll suck to be unable to fix their problems, if it gets bad enough that they consider other operating systems, you’ll be right there to help them switch!

Jesus, that ruined city looks like the backdrop of a Beksinski painting.

Thankfully the chances of that happening would be reduced by the difference between the solar system’s ecliptic place vs that of the Milky Way. According to this Stack Exchange user, it’s a 60.2-degree difference. Illustrated beautifully here.

Then again, it isn’t called a “cloud” for nothing. Still, a large chunk of it is theorized to be aligned with the plane of the solar system.

I would also imagine other countries bordering Russia might take notice.

It would be kinda funny if Finland started moving stuff toward the border near St. Petersburg, just to troll putin / make him waste resources in kind.

There are dozens of us!
