So in the eyes of Kotaku

Sure... if you DO that. I mean... anyone remember how tax breaks for businesses were supposed to equal new jobs, but instead, it just went straight to execs and stockholders...oh yeah... and jobs still moved to Mexico? I’m not saying... I’m just saying.

Is it weird that, while I totally remember “Octomom” as a phenomenon, I can’t even remotely recall what the entire drama/hubbub was around her situation? Like, what were the hallmark takes about Octomom? I need a refresher on this.

He also just spearheaded a resolution, in the Senate of all places, that would bring an end to US involvement in the Saudi-Yemen conflict. Haven’t seen any coverage of that here on Splinter. Lord knows much of the rabidly-centrist and Bernie-hating Splinter commentariat could stand to get a dose of reality about…

Just ignore the fact that we’d be lauding it’s praises to the moon and back had it been presented by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, because we’re shallow fauxgressives that never let facts get in the way of whatever shitty narrative we’re trying to force.

OOOOOOHHHHH CRAPPO TRAP HOUSE YOU SHOWED THEM!

It wouldn’t be fun, it would be terrible. Also Fallout 76 did exactly the thing you are accusing them of not doing- attempted to make a multiplayer Fallout/Skyrim experience and it’s an abysmal failure.

And I should just probably just state this here, but despite the myriad of issues with their previous games, I still LOVED FO3-4, Oblivion, and Skyrim. Loved NV...

You do understand that Obsidian created Fallout, yes? That they delivered a fantastic game that had the potential to be truly epic if Bethesda hadn’t interfered so heavily with the New Vegas development, yes? That this is a showdown a long time in the making and you’re damn right I rooting for Obsidian to knock it…

The reason why they will never add co-op to a Fallout or Elder Scrolls game is because they don’t get any value out of it, even if players would like to see it. They don’t get to use co-op to skimp on the story, like they did with multiplayer in Fallout 76. It’s difficult to balance. It doesn’t augment a “live…

... it’s an opportunistic cash grab that has severely damaged the reputation of Bethesda and Obsidian is in a position to capitalize on that by delivering a solid game which is what I hope they do. 

I’m not hopeful either. But a lot of shit I never thought would happen has taken place over the last 2 years.

I ain’t talking shit just because I want to see drama, I’m not talking pre-release hype, and I’m not rooting for Obsidian because I’m pissed about FO 76 even though the failures of 76 are at the heart of the issue.

I’m hoping The Outer Worlds is good, it would be fantastic retribution for how Obsidian was treated by Bethesda.

I had zero interest in a MP FO game, but I still would have liked to see a strong game come out of this mess for those who wanted it.

Yes, exactly. I can understand why some devs are salivating at the thought of a fresh, new store that doesn’t have many games on it yet. But that’s not a state of affairs that can or will last. And so long as Epic is in “curation” mode, the only devs who will benefit from the storefront’s “gold rush” period will be…

I think they were thinking their opponents wouldn’t actively try to kill tens of millions of Americans just to own the libs. Silly, right?

It is like that time you saw that gorgeous, six-foot-tall blonde in line at the grocery, heard her surprisingly deep voice, and then noticed she had an Adam’s apple. You want to look away, but you can’t.

Hopefully, these doors will be a standard part of the car, as it will finally give a standout styling differentiator and a compelling reason to consider a new Continental.

That’s what I keep saying. It doesn’t matter if you lose as long as you still fought, because if they’re not fighting, then why the hell are they allowed hanging around?
