We’re talking relative renown here. If you’re making a list of the most influential people, you’re going to pick the most influential people and in the gaming industry, those people are all men. I already covered Williams in another reply, Kim Swift is known for the first Portal and nothing else, Brenda Romero isn’t…

Except that Roberta essentially invented the genre. She absolutely should have been on PC gamer's list. 

Roberta Williams

Hey, when dude was in Biology class and the teacher told him and his mates the Human species is referred to as Homo Sapiens, he must have shouted “No Homo” from the top of his lungs...

Youtube doesn’t even know what language I speak. Showing me an ad in Spanish is a waste of everyone’s time and money.

This is what I’m noticing as a first time player of Larian’s other game, Divinity Original Sin 2. It’s nothing serious, but I wish people on these community sites were less into min-maxing everything. It makes it hard for people who just want to enjoy the game and RP or whatever.

Honestly I think that is a lot of it. So much of the pain points go back to fucking OBLIVION and can only still exisit in Starfield if the most senior members of leadership has made them non-negtioable. 

The “they just need more time and money!” angle is bunk; it’s an engineer-with-an-MBA’s line of reasoning when approaching creative and design issues.

Imagine being so fucking thin skinned that optional pronouns bother you enough to download a fucking mod. These are the same chodes that will, unironically, call everyone else snowflakes for shit. Fuck these children, and good on Nexus for not hosting such a childish, dumb fucking mod. 

Imagine being such an asshole that you need to a mod to remove a choice for you and only you that you weren’t going to make anyway just to make yourself feel better. 

Not sure I’d describe it as Witcher 3 with guns. That’s like calling Fallout 3 Oblivion with guns. Cyberpunk allows for far more roleplaying than any of the Witcher games ever did.

I played it on launch from day one on Xbox Series X, and loved it.... I see some of the other comments here that just laugh at people that say this. I definitely don’t agree that gameplay wise it was “mediocre to jank” LOL.

I mean, you don’t have to patch if you have an unfinished playthrough. Depending on the platform you might even be able to play an older version.

the game was always good, if you played on hardware that could run it well

His public admission, yes, but you’re kidding yourself if you think his ban from chess.com wasn’t known in chess circles. Fabiano Caruana (who for the record said he doesn’t think Hans cheated in St. Louis) said that Magnus was seriously considering withdrawing as soon as he heard Niemann had been named a late…

Nah. Doing a thing and explaining a thing are two different things and require different skill sets. I reference... every boring sports interview done in the dozens to hundreds daily.

That feels like a lot of words to be undermined by the fact that a thorough examination by a party, that had cause to be biased against him, concluded that there was not cheating.

Fallout 4: “My son has been kidnapped by nefarious evil-doers who killed by husband/wife in front of me! I must find them immediately! But first I have to spend 2 hours looking for concrete and nails to build a table for my settlement, and then pretend to be a 1930s comic book superhero. Away! Adventure awaits! Who…

With all due respect, who the hell plays an RPG like this? All those quests you mentioned were doable way before the end of the game. I know this because I got to the point where that bodyguard guy said we had to survey a parade route and I did like 40 hours of sidequests instead. Seriously, I’m dumbfounded here that…

To each their own, but Tony himself is a teenager like once a decade. It’s basically in his archetype DNA, the Edisonade. Really, the idea one person can marry dozens of disparate disciplines into one mind and could just snap forward centuries of tech progress is the bigger problem as that actually influences how…
