Hardware-wise, Skyrim ran well on lower-end machines than Starfield does, because it had to aim at a much older console generation. PS3 and Xbox 360 were, in 2011, only 2 years out from being replaced (as opposed to closer to 4-5 for PS5/XSX), and further, PCs had advanced faster at that time, so Skyrim absolutely did…

I didn’t play it anywhere near launch, but iirc the 360 version was reputed to be relatively stable, the PS3 version catastrophic, and the PC version somewhere between.

At least it’s not all embedded tweets.

the camera issue is actually a lot more interesting than this article lets on:

All of this. Also, discs are susceptible to disc rot. I get that a disc getting corrupted after ten years or lost in a move feels fundamentally different from an online store delisting it because a licensing agreement expired, but there’s a weird corner of the internet that talks about physical media like they’re a…

Especially as every time we buy some digital shit, the seller claims we’re buying, and not that we’re licensing said shit.

lol’d at mud not sliding

I rip everything I buy as soon as I unwrap it. I know it’s not a perfect copy (I could make perfect copies but I only have 44.2 TB of storage and a lot of discs) but it’s better than nothing.

I didn’t see “freak gasoline fight” on that list, and I think it’s a common catastrophe that needs to receive more awareness.

Torrenting can't be stealing if paying for it isn't owning.

They really should be taken to court for this. Licenses expiring is a common thing in digital distribution. The solution is to pull the licensed content from the store, not user libraries. That’s been the standard practice for games, I don’t see why it should be any different for movies or TV shows.

Geez, Brian, this is almost as crazy as that one time Quagmire found out love can bloom on a battlefield. 

What ISN’T about fuck no!?

What is about fuck no?

What’s about

That’s where I kind of am. I want the game but I don’t have enough time to devote to playing it right now so I haven’t purchased it. Each time I get close they drop some big patch that makes me hold off because they also talk about some other giant new thing coming which makes me want to wait for that piece too.

As you say, it makes logical sense and none of the dialogue would have to change. I’m glad they did this. Only being able to recruit her by being evil when it still makes sense the other way, in its own way feels like a game that implements invisible walls instead of creative level design. It’s the right move in my…

Neat! I knew it wouldn’t work and I haven’t gotten to moonrise yet, but I DID knock her out with nonlethal attacks during that fight. So I’m curious to see if this applies to playthroughs where the knockout happened pre-patch, but moonrise happens post-patch.
