  1. lol how? It's mostly nostalgia + elitism because it's a hard game. Gamers love their elitism. Morrowind is like a shell of a modern Elder Scrolls game. It's missing the fun gameplay. Lots of people are nostalgic for Oblivion too, but it's harder to glorify it because people actually play it. bro wtf hahaha
  2. Morrowboomers are like a cult. Obviously a 25 yo game is going to be outdated by modern standards. The gameplay is a shell of subsequent title. Its only does challenge better.
  3. Legendary is just damage sponges. Not fun kind of challenging and unimmersive. And it goes beyond just the difficulty of combat itself, but also how you navigate the world, how much the story handholds the player, the depth of the systems, etc. You rarely really make decisions in Skyrim, for better and for worse. If you want to, your illiterate nord caveman character can become president of the mages. That's the depth of the issue of how easy this game is. Its down to the bones of how the game is designed. I think Morrowind is a worse game overall, but I like how it is broadly more challenging. For example how it implements fast travel. Instead of a simple menu interaction you have to utilize special services that "transport" you to set destinations (carriages, teleportation). That requires the player to interact and learn the game world as well as contextualizes the mechanic. You have that too in Skyrim with horse carts, but not to the same extent. Morrowind's fast travel system is not necesarilly better because of how no fast travel in the ordinary sense creates opportunity costs for exploring and boring back tracking, but it is an example of the player being challenged more just in how they navigate the world.
  4. What are you guys hoping for in Sentinel? I hope its going to be more challenging. Skyrim was way too easy overall and the world revolved too much around the player. I don't believe Skyrim necesarilly lacked depth in a way that's important, it's just too easy for any depth to matter.
  5. You know, those kind of things are fine if its something you connect over, but when they act like their life has been ruined all the time by other people... I hate archbishops of complaining.
  6. They are probably going to monetize mods for Sentinel as much as possible and people are going to complain.
  7. Only Todd could remaster an announcement for a game. Just Todd things. The vibe of the game is going to be based on whatever series he was watching at the time. Probably Dune.
  8. Because it kinda sounds like Skyrim and calling it Skyirm 2 would make no sense.
  9. Gender fluidity relative to humans is more so ideological and didn't really exist outside of modern times. Animals aren't really conceptualizing their gender when acting out their particular biology. Naturalism is a classic logical fallacy anyway. Nature =/= moral or good. Crocodiles eating children is nature.
  10. Slugs are hermaphrodites. They compete to be the male during mating by trying to stab the other with their cock sword. Noslugy wants to be the bottom and carry eggs.
  11. The midterm meltdown is going to be crazy. Talk about insane aura loss compared to 2016. Bros acting petulant.
  12. Do what's best for you. Ignore cultural memes of what is desirable.
  13. I will never financially recover from this. Watch the video attached to the linked article. Locking out Chinese AI products globally was probably a big cause in the dip
  14. Its because they have more kids. Its natural selection. There's positive evolutionary pressure for women to not resist rape if you think about it beyound just immediate survival. Women in general are bad at resisting rape. That's an evolutionary feature I think. Dark eh?
  15. Utter nonsense. If anyone's tired of the war its Europe. They are very half hearted in their support despite rhetoric. If they wanted to hurt Russia through Ukraine they could do a lot better. Ukraine cannot accept concentions without security guarantees, which Russia cannot give. Thus war. Zelensky is just doing his job.
  16. No religion till you get A on test
  17. Read this Reuters article about Norwegian wealth tax. Wealth tax is a intuitive idea for reigning in wealth inequality, but it also seems to restrict the flow of capital and motivation to start new businesses (especially damning for Norway, which is overly dependent on fossil fuel business). It also seems to target mostly the middle class in practice, which may or may not be by design. I think it's not really possible to effectively levy a wealth tax effectively without financial cooperation and unison between the OECD countries. If you don't like the taxes one places, you can just leave. Main point: wealth tax is easier said than done and comes with trade offs. I'm more cautious about the idea now than I used to be.
  18. It's probably higher. Program just can't count higher than 50.
  19. Guess the expression
  20. Expression: rage + high on skooma (don't touch his skooma pipe)
