  1. Of course he's right. Trump is an embarrassment to America.
  2. You know what? Maybe it would be fun to play just for the nostalgia of it. I do have fond memories of playing Ocarina. If it works on emulator I might play it.
  3. Drawing a dick on a trilobite is a boss move
  4. Still better than anything new. Starfield slop is what you'll get next. Right now Todd Howard is sitting in his office, brainstorming ways of putting AI into Elderscrolls.
  5. Right now there are teams of people who's job is to program AI to hurt people. AI is a weapon and tool for power. Right now, Israel is using AI to conduct its ethnic cleansing of Palestine. As but one example. We can be sure that AI will be used for: theft, murder, rape, enslavement, genocide, war, disinformation, lies, propaganda, corruption, manipulation, exploitation, extortion, hacking, and abuse.
  6. Yes. I understand this problem and plan to fix it. Thanks for the feedback. That is all by design. The forum is designed to be clean and minimalist, with less distractions. I went out of my way to disable features.

  8. Oblivion character models look like such ass that it's hard not to cringe at Oblivion dialogue.
  9. But there is a big qualitative difference between other activities and puzzle games like Myst or The Witness. Those puzzle games can be infuriating to solve, which is very unlike playing a game like Morrowind or Mario. Many games may seem like puzzles in the spiritual sense, but they do not play like annoying puzzle games. To me, solving a Zelda shrine puzzle is not fun, it is annoying. It is a chore. Every time I enter a Zelda shrine, I hate the game. If Zelda has zero shrines, it would be a better game for me. Chess plays and feels very different than solving someone else's arbitrary puzzles. I would not call Chess a puzzle. It is more about strategy. And I love strategy games. Playing Myst and playing Chess is worlds apart in experience. Myst is a frustrating experience. Yes. Never even played those games because I knew I would dislike that kind of gameplay. I understand they are well made, but I do not enjoy such games no matter how well made they are. I would not call Mirror's Edge a puzzle game. It's an on-rails action game. I do not like on-rails game either. Never heard of it. Typical whippersnapper, no appreciation of the classics.
  10. Post your best police cam videos here. This YT channel is AMAZING!
  11. No way! Nothing Bethesda ever makes will come close to the greatness of Morrowind.
  12. In court documents Tate says he's just an actor playing an online character like Ali G. Lol. What a slap in the face to all his fans. https://www.newsweek.com/tate-brothers-fake-wealth-ali-g-style-persona-extradition-hearing-12377180
  13. I don't mind bugs. The problem is the world is bland and the loot balance and enemy scaling was aweful.
  14. Skyrim def beats Oblivion. Oblivion was the worst Elder Scrolls.
  15. That's why I like Dark Souls. They don't ejaculate story all over your face. That's also what I like about Morrowind. The main story was not in your face. The main story feels like a side quest. When the main story is bombastic and over-the-top, it makes the world feel small and fake. For the world to feel real, the stories in it have to be of a smaller scale. Stories about saving the whole world are not interesting.
  16. I have wondered about this irony. Why do I dislike puzzle games so much? I guess it's because puzzle games force me to read the mind of the designer, which I have no interest in doing. I don't play games to think. I play games to have a vacation from thinking. But then I love strategy games. So somehow those are different. Solving puzzles in games makes me feel like I am a dog jumping through hoops. Solving those shrines in Breath Of The Wild is so unfulfilling and annoying to me.
  17. Not easier, but you will certainly be more motivated. But that thirsty vibe will also lose you girls because you will be too needy. You will also be very sexually frustrated, which is not worth it.
  18. Consciousness is scary, yes.
  19. If you are both, that means you care about story in games. But then many gamers don't. I would prefer a Zelda game with no story at all. Just let me wander Hyrule at my own pace in my own way. The reason I really disliked The Witcher is how they force the story on me. So I quit playing Witcher because of it and have no interest more. I wanted to play Witcher my own way but it would not let me. That's also why I dislike Bioware games.
  20. I replayed Stardew Valley recently, and that game has barely any story, but it's a perfect game otherwise. You can have a great game with no story. You can have a great story with no game. But you cannot have a great game with only a great story. Which demonstrates that story is not the essence of games.
