Woah you know what? I think when I got it on 360 I didn’t get any of the DLCs. Just a special edition that gave me a…nuke launcher? Lol

Here the remastered trilogy is just sitting in my library…I need to finally get to it!

Oh no! Sorry for holding you up, Doc! :O

Swimming Nougat didn’t come out until Steak Eater tho.

The ending of ME2 alone makes the whole trilogy worth it IMHO. I dare say that’s just about a “perfect game.”

I really miss that. I’m sad that even games like WoW where I gladly chatted with strangers all day has turned into…well…

Kinda like everybody’s going grocery shopping with their headphones on…

Ah modding it…I remember, for some reason, whenever I wanted to make a new NPC, everyone in the world reacted as if I were naked. I have no idea what that was about!

…so I just did goofy stuff like putting a ton of that ice ore chunk stuff in a barrel right next to the guy that makes you ice armor in Bloodmoon.

Or making the “Glass Bracers of Chuck Norris” to fortify hand to hand because mine sucked and I needed to beat up a guy for a quest…killed him in one punch. Oops. <_<

I also made a fun house in Balmora with a bunch of replenishing colorful torches (I LOVE the light sources in this game) and embedded tons of chests in the walls, since the poor sucker it belonged to never would go inside. XD

I doubt anybody’s gonna actually use it much, but I’m currently setting up a Minetest/Luanti Voxelibre server accessible to friends and fam through TailScale on my home server.

I thought it’d be so neat having a world running whether I was there to see it or not.

But yeah, I know I won’t get that community aspect of having a digital third-place the people in my life can just vibe. =\

My wife lost her Minecraft login / key we had since beta, but I really enjoyed playing with her, and personally using Technic mods and stuff.

This open source implementation has come REALLY FAR and feels like discovery again!

“I heard them say we’ve reached Morrowind. I’m sure they’ll let us go.”

–Jiub

Truly loved Morrowind. The first game that I played that had such a powerful construction set! And getting to influence the construction of the colony on Solstheim in Bloodmoon was captivating.

It really did feel like “Living another life” as the box art proclaimed.

I’m still enjoying OpenMW to this day, when I can, in my adult life. Also (can’t find the image at the moment)

YoU wOuLdN’T sTeAL a LiMeWaRe PlaTteR!!

Similarly, the first time making it through winter in Banished! If you don’t get it just right, swaths of folks just freeze and starve to death. Scary stuff!

Beating halo final level with wife in co-op

Such an incredible final mission haha.

I’m sincerely glad you appreciated it. I worry I ramble a bit too much sometimes! :)

In some ways Lemmy can still feel like the “Old Internet”, for better and worse haha, but there’s still people like us that appreciate small moments of genuine connection with people.

We can be revolutionaries by making those positive connections in the communities we visit. :D

I hope you’re doing okay and have a good one today.

It’s calm rational takes like this that help me remain an artist and strive to be a creative despite these tumultuous times. Thanks for the hope boost. ❤️

Lol yeah don’t worry too much about it.

Not like this comment was your grand presentation at the International Edible Carrion Science Conference 2025 or something. :p

Pigeons are done so dirty it’s so sad.

I mean I also would like if they didn’t cover everything in pewp en masse, preferably, but otherwise they’re beautiful animals that aren’t the “flying rats” people have dubbed them as.

I think anything will be considered more clean, appealing, and less gross when it isn’t being forced to scrounge around a nasty toxic concrete city habitat for scrap sustenance, but what do I know. Lol

Reddit definitely used to be! But sadly thanks to reddit, I think we’re seeing the damage from a disappearing internet when a lot of people mass-deleted their posts and it affects technical pages.

How do I fix this really niche technical issue?

Toasters lollypops groundhogs sport icecube I have scrambled all my reddit posts with a script because reddit sucks and Spez sucks.

"Thanks! That’s EXACTLY what I needed! I’ve been looking everywhere for this solution. Have a gold, internet stranger sir/madame. I hope anybody else who has this issue comes here first so they don’t spend as long as I did before I saw your post!

💀

By the end of my time there, you could make one unpopular sentence in a post and be hounded for it for DAYS.

Yeah, for good or ill, I notice threads on Lemmy run their course pretty quickly, and replying on something more than a week old feels increasingly pointless.

But also hey, not getting dogpiled for too long is also nice lol.

I’ve found myself on the “Let me evaluate this as objectively as possible and still I usually end up pretty left of center” camp, and yet I’m definitely not immune to it.

I’ve had a few run-ins, like one where I tried to de-escalate and respectfully critique a thread that was basically (smugly?) a “death to anyone who looks like they might resemble the other team” jihad , and boy, oh boy the hivemind got stirred.

It’s gotten so bad that merely suggesting temperance and moral consideration brands you a filthy both-siding liberal nazi-enabler or something.

I believe a successful resistance includes restraining unhinged extremists that would stab their fellows in the back for not being extreme enough, but some segments of Lemmy won’t hear it.

What can I say, I’m also here for the memes. But otherwise…I don’t blame you.

I like knowing what’s going on , especially when corpo news sources try to sweep it under the rug, and sometimes comments can be really insightful, but often the discourse is so tribalistically rage-blinded and the line of acceptable extremes keeps getting pushed to frightening degree.

Even the slightest hint of disagreement with the extent of said extremes, even if you’re on the same “side” of an issue, will get you branded and told to face the wall with the rest of the filth…You know, by the types who most loudly proclaim how much they’re against fascists .

(My guess is mostly it’s angy isolated teens with anonymity and hair-trigger emotions paired with drooping history grades. And I say this as an idealistic anarchist lol. But it still hurts. Words are words.)

I was recently downvoted like crazy and attacked quite viciously for merely suggesting that dehumanizing human beings, even enemies, is a dark path. Even the poster I was responding to was like “That’s messed up, you were respectfully discussing. People are crazy.”

I’m more careful now.

It’s beginning to remind me of the apocalyptic world of Metro 2033: On one side, Neo-Nazis want to kill you outright. On the other: the Red army wants to conscript comrade you to their frontlines to hurl at their enemies.

…and most people are just caught in the middle trying to survive.

Sorry for the long reply. Let’s stay safe, sane, and keep touching grass. Take good care out there. ❤️
