Okay, fair enough, Fo76 was an unmitigated disaster. But what were you expecting from Starfield, exactly?

Honestly, I’m amazed by the hatedom for Starfield. It’s … a Bethesda game (and it’s actually better at being a Bethesda game than Fo4). I’m not sure what people seem to have expected?

Considering that OP’s teachers apparently beat their students (or at least stand idly by while their colleagues do), I’d argue that they do not deserve one ounce of respect.

Make your own instance then. As long as you’re using a service someone else provides for you (free of charge at that), you have to play by their rules.

Kindergarten. But my parents never really cared. I was told “know your audience” not “don’t say that”.

Imagine having that little understanding of how and why people enjoy modding their games.

The engine is what allows the game to have a thriving modding community already.

I know it is, developers can block downloads unless the user is signed into a Steam account that owns the game. But as an end-user that’s distinction without difference.

That’s even worse though. Plenty of games (e.g. Stellaris and RimWorld) are also available on platforms like GOG or, ugh, Epic. But if you want to use mods and you bought the game on any platform other than Steam it’s fuck you.

It’s probably still going to take some projects with it. If you’ve sunk hundreds or even thousands of manhours into a project you can’t just… do it again, or at least not always. Especially not if you’ve invested money as well as time, which is probably the case for most indie projects that aren’t literal one-person shows.

Correct, all diminutives are neuter in German. In this instance the base word is die Magd (historically the maiden, nowadays the maid), which is grammatically female.

31, Germany, I can’t drive at all. City kid.

If by “do your own research” you mean “read the studies” then by all means, go ahead. If, and I guess that’ll be the case for 99% of people without related degrees, you can’t understand them you should accept that you’re in no way equipped to do your own research.

I don’t need to. iPhones are pretty but every time I’ve been forced to use one I wanted to pull my hair out, I know they’re vaunted for being easy to use but I find them incredibly unintuitive, and I need help to do basically anything. MacOS is mostly Fine™ (with that being said - no window snapping? really?!), but they have no laptops with a number pad on the keyboard, and even if they did, they don’t have matte display options so I couldn’t comfortably use the damn thing anyway. It’s a laptop, I’m not going to use it exclusively in darkened rooms with the lights turned off.

Edit: Also, MacBooks are entirely unupgradable. So that’s a hard no from me based on that alone. The “need more storage/RAM? Buy a new laptop!” approach is just entirely unacceptable as far as I’m concerned.

Not yet. It’s the inevitable outcome of tolerating Nazis on your platform but it takes time, especially with a userbase as large as Twitter’s.

Because usually the people who topple the dictator don’t want what’s best for their country, they just want the guy’s fancy hat.

Which just highlights how exploitative the whole endeavour is. Rich Westerners hire poor locals to risk their lives for no good reason beyond clout. These aren’t scientific expeditions, there’s no actual value in them.

Almost certainly both. And people who made an account but who didn’t stick around.

Basically anything single-player from BioWare and Bethesda that’s not Mass Effect Andromeda.
